Description My camera was not zoomed in when I took this photo. I believe I was about five miles away or so.

That's got a nice cone too it. What category did it turn out to be? A 4?

Ah, the Pipestone tornado! That was one helluva tornado, from videos I've seen. Nice photo.

This is a stunning photograph!
I very much wish I was there with you! (or near by!)
Always cool when the wall cloud wraps around the funnel!

Amazing shot!

Wow... spectacular photo. I love how the stair-steps of lighter cloud (are those inflow bands?) arc the eye in toward the twister itself. Really lets you feel the storm instead of just going, "Oh, it's a tornado!" If you ever decide to offer prints, I want this one!

Five miles is about right for this storm

Awesome capture!

Thanks! If the tornado is that big from five miles away, I wonder what she would have looked like from one or two miles away...

Awesome shot! Where did you shoot this and when?

And I like the fact that you are not zoomed in. So many chaser photos/vids focus on the tornado only w/ out taking in the rest of the meso.

Great job!!!

BTW...Going to s!!! I am sure I will fav alot more of yours in the future too!

Thanks! She was shot near Pipestone, Manitoba on 23 June 2007, and was the second tornado of that cell.

I had no idea Canada was so flat. Nice chase terrain. And very pretty!

Some parts of Canada are so flat you could see your dog run away for a week.
