Taking a picture would likely NOT be my top priority in this situation.

I think the tornado is further away than it appears. It's not right on top of the grain bins, but it looks like it is. That's my theory.

Yeah, that's basically what I think.

It's either that (tornado far distant) or a complete photoshop job.

I'd be more skeptical if it were submitted to something more than a no-name newspaper in the middle of Iowa.

I agree. I think they call that foreshortening. It's why fishermen hold their catch straight out from their bodies for photos.

No-name newspapers rock.

The History Channel just did a show on Hypercanes!!! Those are wild. Apparently, if the ocean temperature increases to approximately 100 degrees fahrenheit or so due to, say, global warming or an asteroid strike, one could form bringing 500 mph winds and storm surges in excess of 60 feet that could wipe out entire states, throw house sized boulders through the air, and flatten forests as well as buildings, punch a hole in the stratosphere, and the debris would stay in the sky for months!!!

Just wait until that KC weather lady finds out about these.

I saw this pic on Drudge a couple of days ago linking to another story. Cool to finally see the close-up.

Kylo Ren · 06-18-2008, 07:19 AM

Is that a BBQ grill / smoker on the far right of the pic?

wilas101 · 06-18-2008, 07:38 AM

I'm already sick of this picture. Since last friday I've had it sent to me too many times.

First it was the tornado that killed the boy scouts in Glencoe, ia. Then it was a picture taken by a woman in Orchard, Ia the same day. The next day it was taken outside Bloomfield, Ia and Monday it was taken just outside Des Moines.

This is a very fake picture. You are a fool if you think it is real.
