| Remember the rain foot? Now, it is the dirt foot! Not good as we are about to be eaten just north of Hutchinson, MN. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The ciculation broadens out as it dies after about a minute and a half. The video of this is really convincing unless you knew what was going on at cloud level. | This thing really got cranking in the field right next to us. HATS OFF to the Hutchinson SKYWARN spotters for not reporting this. I'm sure many people passing this thought it was a tornado. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
