Default My Tornado pictures from tonight.


Yep! I couldn't believe it. Driving in heavy traffic in the Chicagoland area tonight. Heading to one of my video taping spots. There it was ! My first tornado. Forming right in front of my eyes, out my passenger side window. And not to far away by the time I passed it . Talk about COOL ! It was all cool untill traffic stopped on the interstate and noone was moving! Plus the tornado was heading in my direction. I don't know if people were stopped to look at the tornado forming or what was going on. I had some pretty choice words for the drivers in front of me. Especially since it was in a construction zone, and no where to go. Instinctively, I grabbed my trusty video camera and started shooting footage. Traffic started moving again, and then did they go! Traffic was cruising about 80mph thru that construction zone, and I was right behind them !!! LOL ! so I calmed down a bit after we started moving again. . LOL ! I ended up with about 5 minutes of video footage. I just sucks I was in a construction zone, or I would have gotten out and video taped it better. The local news tonight had pictures of a little of the damage, but it really wasn't much.The tornadowas pretty big! But it never did touch down as far as I could see. But , I was trying to drive( In a construction zone), video tape and watch the people in front of me that kept slamming on their brakes. Pretty cool encounter![/align][/align]Here's some pictures.[/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]Right here, I don't think I was more than 3-400 yards from it. [/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]You guys were almost singing, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" for me at my funeral. [/align][/align]Oh yeah, I ended up seeing some pretty good bucks tonight![/align]

It was between Bolingbrook and Romeoville. (I think) 55 and Weber Rd. I see you don't live that far from me. That's cool!
