Tornado!

Well, not quite. Technically, these are photos of a Mesocyclone, the progenitor of a tornado. These are frames lifted from video taken on my digital camera. The videos themselves are interesting, but not very good. I was using my monopod, but I was being eaten by a swarm of mosquitoes, so there is a lot more movement than I like.

I'm adding more storm photos here.

The white mailbox in the lower right corner is directly North of me and the road runs E-W. I'm in the Southeast corner of Trout Lake Township, Itasca County, MN.
