Should have listed to that little voice in my head that said to stick close to home today...but succumbed to the allure of better terrain in Iowa.
I'm sure having a voice in your head you can listen to is a great thing, but the ones in mine are fighting constantly lol

Anyhow, found this video of the Janesville tornado. A barely visible funnel comes into view at about the 10 second mark, and remains so for about 25 seconds before becoming completely rain-wrapped and blending in. Interesting stuff.

edit: Oh, what a freakin' surprise. Video got removed. I'll reupload it to my Dailymotion account, where it will be if anyone is dying to see it.

He's got a point, today is 6/22, 6+2+2=10, 10 is close enough to "TO" which is an abbreviation for Tornado Oscillation. Radio waves oscillate, so we can conclude beyond any reasonable doubt that the tornadoes were created by HAARP.

Pulled a nasty NAM sounding from right over Mt Washington. Man, imagine experiencing a strong tornado on Mt Washington. That footage would be the greatest tornado video of all time. I could die happy if that happened.
IIRC it holds ((or held) the wind speed record for non-tornadic winds.
(Edit) Just checked- 231MPH on 4/12/34 which is still a northern hemisphere record.

I climbed it last year on a beautiful day. Sunny and virtually no wind, even at the summit.

About 10 years ago I took the cable car up and went through about 10 climate zones on the way. Fascinating place, if you can make it there, it's worth the trip.
