I thought what I was seeing was very much a freak of nature!

I HEARD it first, and went to look out my glass door...expecting it to be gone as soon as it started, but no it just continued.

There was a noise that sounded like the deep sound of metal grinding!

That sound was gone in a second, but the swirling air kept going...

The NWS is evaluating. Last I heard the storm was classified as an F O ... it cause lots of damage in a very defined area here...

Allegheny county and Moon

Trees down, home damage (trees falling on roofs), one loss of life because of the tree falling on the roof...

nature seems angry.

There is a storm "bomb" in Washington state.  A place where they rarely have thunderstorms.  There was a tornado warning.  Very strange weather.

@LTT1  That is so scary! I'm really glad you're ok, LTT1 😮💖! 

I've never seen a tornado in real life before, but they're very scary to see on TV or youtube.

I really have not seen one until this one appeared.

I have seen one form from up in the clouds before but it didn't touch down!

@LTT1  Wow- it must've been so shocking to see a tornado to fully form and touch down outside! I don't even know what I'd do in that situation 😮.

EEEKKK! I'm glad you are okay. My son lives in Washington (State) and the had a tornado warning in his area yesterday. He's used to tsunami warnings because he's on the coast but a tornado warning was new.

I'm terrified of tornadoes. I live in shake, rattle & roll territory but we seldom have tornadoes.

@LTT1 That must have been so scary, no one can prepare for these events.
