Southern Alberta Tornado

[Egon]

Just a couple of pictures. The bales made some nice tracks.

Wow, pretty impressive to roll so many bails so far.

Forgot to ask... any pictures of where it may have scoured the ground? I always find that fascinating.

Good Evenin Egon,
Wow never saw that before, and its so darn flat there that those bales didnt get any help rolling from hills or inclines !

I was kind of wondering the same thing as Moss, wonder if theres any shots of surface destruction ?

That tornado had to go out of its way to hit those silos!

It was actually more of a wind storm than a tornado. Apparently there bales that were moved a few miles or more.

No pictures of scoured ground. A friend sent me the pictures.

I'm gonna send your round bale picture to a few friends and make them guess what the picture is showing.

For those of you living in tornado prone areas, here's an interesting read I came across a couple of years ago.
