Tornado Pics

Nice! So, whats your fascination with tornadoes? Ever had any close calls, or is the science teacher in you?

Little of both. When I was 20, I watched one form from the grocery store where I was a receiving clerk. Stood with my nose pressed against the front plate of glass in total awe. Real smart. They are just such an awesome display of God's power.

My wife and I were driving through Minnesota or Wisconsin, I forget which. Actually, it's the state where the town of \"Blue Earth\" is. Anyway, back to the point...\r \r I awake to a multitude of severe storm symptoms. My wife is driving slowly, trying to concentrate on the white line when we decide a missed exit was behind us and turned around at a place called Blue Earth. The place was a mess, but we were able to get a Coke and drive on...come to find out, tornado watch/warning messages were everywhere and one had just gone through the area. We obviously didn't drive through it, but we were too close for comfort to say the least.
