Its not bad...a funnel cloud is still hanging in the air while it forms. A real tornado, of which I've seen 1, is a little more scary. I pulled out of my driveway last year - looked down the road and there was one on the ground kickin' up debris. I jumped out of my car, grabbed Lisa and Nicholas and virtually threw them down the stairs. That was scary. They got under the steps in the basement (although my basement is a walk-out so its exposed) and I kept an eye out the back. I watched what would be called a dust devil go through the yards and about 1/4 mile from my home that dust devil got organized and tore some homes up. That was as close as I ever want to be - but its still really neat to watch. I should have been a weather man....maybe I'll call Doppler and see if he'll hire me out in Norfolk

Alan, I'm a heavy smoker - but even I am suffering from all the smoke in the air from the wildfires south of here!
