Tornado...on Crack
I found this interesting because I used to backpack in the general area, and the last thing you would expect here is a tornado. These peaks range from 9-13,000 ft, and the terrain is anything but flat. Very strange indeed. Cool pics as well.

Works now :D
Thats some cool stuff, amazing how the weather is doing some very odd stuff in the last bit of years. |
Works for me.
|
Pretty amazing stuff. I can't imagine how wierd it'd be to be up that high with a tornado. That guy snapped some pretty good pictures of it too.
|
woah.. not to mention that it's California also...
|
I don't know about this. Yes, it is a university website. But that first picture looks almost doctored. The spiraling funnel cloud is almost too perfect. Count me as a cynic on this one.

i thought the 'on crack' was in referenced to those things in that guy's hand
|
funnel clouds are gorgeous... and that was a prime example. I think the allure for me is that they're dangerous and rare, so it's exhilirating to witness one.
|
Scary pics. I would hate to be under it when it happened.
|
ive been in that area a bit...
i wonder where the guy went when it was hailing... those things look like they would hurt... |
Holy crap weird.
|
That's crazy. Great pictures too. That guy was just in the right place at the right time to photograph that, (depending on how you look at it, it could have been the wrong place at the wrong time too.) But personally, I love tornados and find them to be very intriguing.
|
I think Mother Nature is on crack....whats with all this weird shit this past year?
like 5 years ago or so there was a small earthquake in Ontario(we are not even near the west coast) and there has also been Tornado's in Ontario also! |
Sooner or later the temperature's gonna drop 30 degrees every second.
|
Surely if the air is thinner then it can support less moisture per cubic metre than higher density air? I mean think of actually how water can be suspended above our heads.

Oh, and some trivia for the TFP: My local nuclear power plant is located DIRECTLY on an intersecting faultline. Genius! |
San Onofre (sp) california
|
very strange...
but things have been strange all over... there were a bunch of tornados in western washington earlier this year. tornados NEVER happen in western washington. EVER. and there were like 4 over the course of a few weeks. hmm. |
We just had a handful of tornados here in NH in the last month. Definitely weird.
|
woa, that is very odd. Its like it came out of no where... someone must have a weather making machine.
|
nifty - wouldn't wanna fly through that :p

Anyone read the title as "Toronto on Crack" and was hoping for discussion about Canada's new program of supplying crack addicts with kits (pipe, lip balm, ect) to stop the spread of disease among people addicted to crack ?
|
Love the first picture.. looks pretty evil
|
That is a cool pic. Around here when you see a funnel cloud you head for shelter.
|
whoa....thanks for the link. cool pics...
|
well, I used to believe the "common knowledge" that tornadoes can only form in fairly flat areas, i.e. the Great Plains, but I have since learned( I forgot where) that tornadoes can form almost anywhere, kinda scary.
