Tornadoes
Inspired by this story of Time magazine accidentally using a 35-year-old photo and saying it was new (of a tornado passing by the Statue of Liberty), I decided to Google tornado pictures, because, you know, I'm kind of a natural disasters geek. Here are some of the cooler ones I found!

Cool photos, I hope my only experience with tornados (and water spouts)is through photos. I can marvel at the forces of nature without the fear of them.
