Oil Rig explosion four from Mississippi missing

(Sun Herald)

A Hell of a week, and it isn't over yet.

A small tornado spinup (that is what Barbie Bassett at WLBT 4:30 PM tv
news called it, a small tornado spinup) was sighted near Swiftown.
cuhulin, not a spinup

I LOVE tornados. *Wish I was there.

You'd love 'em until you were in one. When I was 12, one touched down just a
couple blocks away from my aunt's house in St. Louis. They are NOT fun to
watch up that close.. : /

I understand, Brenda - but...

I chased them in Texas 1982-1983. *I was an atmo sci grad student at
Texas Tech. *I was:

Hit by a small tornado, probably F0-F1
Hit by baseball-sized slushy hail
Hit by lightning

We saw many tornadoes, although when we were *that* close, we had
other things on our minds besides taking pictures. Nonetheless, I'd do
it all again, every day, if I could. *It was the best thing I ever
did.

I do have a few photos:

That is sooo cool Bruce, I see now that you had your bonkers about you
in doing that/ saying what you said. I shouldn't have done what I did
and won't do it again. ;-) The one that ripped through the Cincinnati
Blue Ash area was categorized as an F4 if my memory serves me right, I
could be wrong but I think that was it. I think I said this in my
earlier post about it, but if it had been day time - I wouldn't have
put myself in the bad spot I was in because I could have seen it but
because it was nighttime I couldn't see anything. That wasn't too
bright.
