Last Monday I was checking out a new park and it was a waste of time so I went to another park that I've done ok at in the past. I Only found 1 wheat penny and I was getting tired so I went home. On my way home I could see on the horizon that the clouds were clearing some and
I could see what looked like a Tornado hanging down, very far off. It kept going away and then come back but it was way far off so I couldn't really tell if it was a Tornado or just the way the clouds were forming. My brother lived over that way so I called him and told him to go outside and look
to the west and tell me what he see's. I can't word for word what he said but it was something like,,,, Yep, that's a tornado. I'm getting my camera and getting in the car to get closer to it. I kept driving towards the tornado until I was close enough to get a picture of it and I got a short video of it too.
I have that on my FB page along with the picture my brother got of it and his is a lot better then mine.
Fri, me and my brother was driving around looking for things that he can take picture's of because he likes to enter photo contest when I spotted this writing out in a farm field and we had to stop and take a picture of it. I don't know if the farmer used GPS in his tractor or what but he did a great
job at doing it. If anybody reading this an lives in central Iowa an want's to go see it,,, it's north of Newton IA, on the east / west section of Hwy 14.
oops, sorry about the tornado pic being on it's side.
