Well... I wasn't aware of what it was... but that's the beauty of a tornado in that a bit away from it.. or right next to it... it's only the wind,rain and hail..
but that tree was surrounded by buildings as big as it was .. like the protection of a waggon train.. circled around... and there I was sticking myself up there with a large wind footprint..
I've seen the inside of a tornado... at mothers.. three weeks after she moved into the solar house built her.. there was a tornado... it picked up the cab over camper she'd been living in.. whch was lashed down some 60' from the house... wired up.. and plumbed in with water and sewage to the new house system.. it picked up this big camper.. ripped it from it's hook ups... bounced it once on the roof... then set it down in the driveway.. straight and even... right next to the garage door... snuggled under the eve of the house... getting under with an inch to spare under the two foot roof overhang and about an inch from the house... without ever touchng the house.. or scraping on the concrete driveway.. not a shingle was touched on the house.. .. but inside the tornado that I watched from underneath one of the 6 4' x 7' skylights.. was all green.. from the lightnng.. and in the glow.. you could see water going left and right.. up and down... like you see in the front of a washing machine with the glass doors..
glad to have missed it again...
