May 25th Reports and Pics

[Stu]

Filmed a "truncated rope" tornado today just south East of La Crosse Kansas - also saw another pencil tornado 10 minutes later and a bit further east - pictures to follow after food. the picture does not do justice as I mainly shoot video these days - this was the last picture I took before video as the tornado became quite impressive.

Most if not all of the 10 tornadoes that were reported to have touched the ground were brief

affairs so well done in capturing 2 of them Stu, just had to be in the right place at the right time.

The largest number of tornadoes was in Iowa, unfortunately reports have come in confirming 8 fatalities

7 from the county of Butler Iowa, a half-mile wide tornado was also reported rampaging across NE

Iowa and sadly a child was killed in Minnesota, as much as we love this incredible feat of nature it always

saddens me to hear of deaths especially as most could be avoided if people just took heed of the warnings.
