28 APR 08 FUNNEL CLOUD

I won't call it a tornado cuz I didn't see it touch down, but I am told it did
It was going back up in to the atmosphere when I finally got the camera out at a stoplight =)))
We had several of these touching down all over the place today, but Suffolk was hardest hit with houses leveled
(The worst reportedly was an F3 with 158 - 213 mph winds)

Virginia Beach, Chesapeake & Norfolk got away with downed branches and a few trees (as far as we know right now)

Canon PowerShot S2 IS
1/640s f/3.2 at 6.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Powerful image. I didn't know you were a storm chaser. :) Great capture. I'm sure you had to shoot fast and it came out perfectly. V.

I was wondering about you. Glad you are safe! These happen all the time here and they aren't fun! Hope no damage to your property!

Glad you are okay. I heard on the news this morning that there are over 200 injuries.

Glad you caught this. Went through our area before it got to you, but nothing touched down. I feel for the people in Suffolk.
