I saw a small funnel cloud about 10 years ago, really wicked. We were driving home and stopped to take shelter. I was looking out the window at the rain and a small narrow gray funnel came down and went straight back up. Fascinating, but a little too close for comfort. I wouldn't mind being a tornado chaser as long as I was safe. Jenn

a few years back a funnel cloud and hail storm happened at my house and I missed the whole thing by fifteen minutes, no damage, but the pine smell in the air was nice with mists rising everywhere.
