WUSATV9.com ^ | June 29, 2005 | Reed Timmer and Dave Holder (shot the video)

While looking on our local TV weather page for info on last night's storms in our area, I happened on this great video taken of a tornado in Minnesota last month.

Go here, and click on the link titled VIDEO: Tornado touches down." (or try the link on the video title; I think I did it right) The video is approximately three minutes in length.

That was the coolest damn thing I have ever seen. It started as a white vertical tube in the cloud with a dust devil-type thing on the ground below it, then a full on tornado.

Those guys were lucky as hell to see it so close up and capture it on tape to boot.

Thanks for posting it.

Awesome, thanks for sharing that.

It was as if the white house had a guaradian angel.

As a Minnesota native, I remember having seen whisps of baby tornados dancing and twistin away below the clouds but well short of ground , and a few waterspouts on the lakes as well.

Still quite a bit glob of weather in that area too..

Be safe.

Have you seen this? Do you have a wx ping list?

Post it over at WW and Eastern US Wx -- they'd love it.

We have some of the bravest--or stupidest--weather reporters around. Flying around near tornadoes in helicopters and all that. They get some excellent footage of tornadoes forming, and I've caught a few whose speed of development would make your jaw drop. But the footage quality's nowhere near this caliber.

I haven't seen it... thanks for the ping. Very cool video! I have contemplated a wx-ping list, but never have kept track of it. ;-) One big ping-list seems to be enough for now, perhaps I will go back to the idea in the future.

A spectacular piece of video.

Thanks.

Tornado's are probably the only reason I am glad to live in New England.
