Here are pics of a couple of tornados that went by close to my parent's house Wednesday night around 6pm cst. They weren't very strong or very big and as far as I know they did little to no damage. There were several small one like that in the area that night. You can click on the images to view them ina larger size.

You know as scary as those things are I still want to see one in person. There was a bunch of them here I think the same night, so probably part of the same storm, but none near me. I am glad that nothing happened from them for you all. I have to hope that if one is near me it is like that since if not then my mobile home is going for a flight.

Wow.. Glad everyone is ok!
@area I've only seen one and I was I think 12... it wasn't what you would call fun. I was at opening ceremony for an AAU baseball tournament in St. Paul, MN... all of a sudden the sky turned like green and the announcer told us we had to go. On the way out of the parking lot we saw the tornado touch down... not sure how far away though.

Yeah I do not think I would find one fun, I just want to see one in person to say I have. Maybe it can go through an empty field so that anything it does wont affect people. Maybe there would even be an abandoned building set for demolition in the field it could take care of.

Hal;
So glad these were small and non-destructive. Is this the season for these things? If so, hope it's an aborted one!...Ŋє۱Єlєοѕ

Geez, Area!
A mobile home? Don't these things have a voracious appetite for aluminum??...Ŋє۱Єlєοѕ

Those are the older mobile homes that are made of the aluminum, at least they are on the outside. Those are the kinds from like the 60s and probably 70s. Mine is from the mid 90s and made out of normal house things like drywall, wood, and then the plastic panels outside that seem to be everywhere now.

Thankfully, the season for them is just about over here and the ones that we did have were small and did not do much this season, unlike the last couple of years when we had some fairly destructive ones around. We had more flooding than anything else here this spring.
