I remember this image from a NOAA weather
Calander or it has also been used in some
NOAA weather publications if I'm not correct.
Freaky feel to the image all together, but
still an Awesome Capture!
Seen in Oklahoma Thunderstorms

Beautiful. This particular tornado is usually
dubbed "The Wizard of Oz Tornado"
due to its resemblance to the twister in the
movie.
