putting the monkey before the horse

If you were out and about in Durm yesterday around 5, you might have seen this weather event. As I was driving home, I was noticing the ominous dark clouds hanging low in the sky, hoping they weren't anywhere near the house. By the time I got to around Cole Mill and 85, I was close enough that I could see a slow-moving, partially formed funnel. Pretty scary. Turns out it wasn't a near-tornado but something called a cold air funnel cloud. I have seen an actual tornado, but it was off near the horizon and that was out in central Oklahoma where the horizon's pretty far away. And I have no desire to see one any closer up, thank you.

Holy crack. I've never heard of those.

I've not actually seen a tornado, but one passed very close to my house when I was a kid (in Texas). All I could see out the window was white, and it did indeed sound sort of like a freight train. It blew in two big windows on the west side of ourhouse and tore off part of our garage roof. Scary shit. me no like--I'd rather deal with a hurricane.
