Tornado!

Yesterday while driving home from Lorna Lutter's wedding in Illinois, the skies darkened and a sudden downpour began. I looked at the external temperature gauge and it had dropped from a warm eighty-four degrees to sixty-four - a twenty degree drop in only a few minutes!

As I drove through the rainstorm, I happened to look out my driver's window to the north, and saw this:

 A tornado on the ground a ways north of the interstate!

I grabbed my phone and quickly began snapping pictures. The funnel cloud moved parallel to the freeway so I knew I was not in any danger.

 Shortly after this picture was taken, the funnel dissipated and disappeared.

I was between Covington and Crawfordsville and out in the middle of nowhere, so I did not know if any storm warnings had been posted. The rain quit as suddenly as it began, the temperature rebounded, and soon it was as though nothing had happened.

What an exciting thing to see!
