Our member Tom Wasney found this again on the net and wanted to share it ~

Volunteers are asked to stop by and help clean this mess up.

Wow!--- that must have been some tough camera to withstand that!

Al can tell you, and probably Jim Arnett. I don't know about them, but
I never was IN a tornado while I lived in TX, but I have SEEN them and
they are nasty. In TX we also have miniature tornados we call "Dust
Devils" which I HAVE been in, and even those "little fellers" pick up twigs,
gravel, and loose debris that really hurt and sting you. And can put out
windows and damage cars (and of course, in TX, pickup trucks). So if
those little guys can do that, I don't want to be anywhere near one of the
big guys!

Those Tornado Chaser dudes must be beaucoup dinky-dau. Poco loco
in the coco. Krank im kopf. Screw loose. Not all there. Twelve short of
a dozen. You get the picture.

While refueling my 240Z in New Mexico I was confronted by a Dust Devil headed straight for my little car! Arrgghh! Get Away! It blew itself out before it reached the gaspumps, but I was struggling for my keys by the time it quit.

Here's one right here in CT!

And this one took its ball and went home, making everyone forget what the score was!

Acutally, if you look close you can see EvilZ pass by just as the train derailed.
