I'm just now seeing this. Fantastic capture. Oddly enough, seeing a tornado is on my bucket list. One (an F1) went through my mom's yard a few years ago, so the closest I've come is seeing the damage left behind (thankfully just downed trees for mom.)

Good night!!! Another comment that echos the underrated quality of this image. I'm not sure that I would want tornados in my country as I'm already obsessed with weather and to chase these would just be another obsession that would consume my life.
You did very well here and this should feature as a sighting of a lifetime. Congrats on getting it and taking the shot. You say you had to work the image a bit but I believe it rarely happens given conditions that everything works out the way you want. This is by no means a still life shot and this happens I can imagine fairly quickly. Yes it was maybe 20 minutes but. For this scene it was seconds. The houses in cram is crucial to this shot and does more to lift the image than just for scale and perspective
Once again.. Great terrific shot from me |

| I can't believe voters didn't give give this at least a 7. How many times do people see an entire funnel from this vantage point. I'll. I may never understand fully what a perfect dpc shot is. |

Holy cow this thing was huge! You captured it very well even though you had to work to make it better. I can't believe how damn big it is. Have you submitted this to some nature or weather magazine or website? Even National Geographic or the Discovery Channel. I've never seen such a well formed funnel cloud with this much detail.
That's got to be scary to witness, even at 5 miles away. |

Wow, thanks for all the post challenge comments, this was the image I knew this was the one shot I took last year that would have the most impact but it easily exceeded my expectations. Glad so many people enjoyed it! I especially liked all the Wows, Awesomes and Amazings in the comments. Thanks again!
