Description June 19th, 2011

Not the most photogenic tornado, but our storm produced this nice elephant trunk after re-intensifying after the Max, NE tornado. Had we sat in the same spot and not moved, we probably would have been under that thing. We wanted to get out ahead of the storm in order to avoid hail though

Looks like it's starting to twist into a pencil shape too (or whatever the term for it is. I forgot).
