Severe Weather IV






Some examples of what might be "f5" tornadoes. These have circular winds to over 300 MPH and can uproot and move whole houses maybe a mile or so away. Accompanying the wind may be severe lightning, thunder and/or large hail. Sometimes "twins" or "triplets" descend from several thousand feet above.

I don't know about you but compared to this, I'd rather live here in So. CA. That picture with the lightning next to the tornado is pretty darn scary!
