[Part 2 of 4] I first spotted this tornado as a fuzzy, poorly defined, rotating cloud-base bowl, with dust and diffuse multiple vortices beneath. It evolved quickly, as tornadoes often do. I darted a short distance from safely parked vehicle to this spot to compose the first photo in the set, where condensation mostly had filled beneath the bowl, then shot this, as the vortex approached and narrowed somewhat. Responding to the pressure drop, scud raced out of the trees, up around the visible funnel’s north side, and I started hearing the tornado’s waterfall-like roar. Remaining time here would be necessarily short… [Part 3]
