Chased some MEAN looking tornados in Wisconsin yesterday. So far no reports of injuries, and only one house with the roof ripped off, so given the magnitude of the event, we are pretty lucky.
Well anyway, here are a couple pictures...
This was 2 miles SE of Wisconsin Dells. Its about a mile or 2 in front of me.
(Doesnt look like it cause I have my 14mm lens on.) (The picture is also
cropped.)
Then around the Portage area, just sw of it actually I saw a wedge tornado. This was coming right at me. I wasnt able to stay long before I had to move on.
Here it is closer. Soon after this picture, as I was scooping up the
cameras, you could hear the roar, and the wind really picked up from the
west (left side of screen)
And now for the oddity of the chase... Its 6-6-06 and my odometer read
666 the whole chase. I have 166,6xx.x miles on my van, so for one
hundred miles during the heat of the chase it read 666. \m/
