Anyone else here a fan of severe weather? I sure as hell am...I was out chasing last night (for enjoyment only, I don't have much of a camera), but occasionally if some weather comes by with good enough light, I take photos and try to sell them to networks/papers...or just to add to my collection. So far, I've got two tornadoes under my belt...not bad for Manitoba :P
Here's one that went by last Sunday...I was spotting at YWG and watched it take the collective head cleanly off my neighbourhood, and then move directly over the airport

Gust front - winds on the leading edge topped 100km/h briefly, enough to start flexing the triple-pane glass in the observation deck

Wall cloud with funnel - approximately over my house, about 10 miles away. About this time, the weather service started freaking out big-time, people at the airport were warned about the possibility of a direct hit, etc..., made a lot of people go nuts...while they were running for shelter/underground areas (Arrivals C), I was happily going crazy with the camera. This one never touched down, at least not officially...although some trees were knocked over southwest of the field, so it's a possibility...

Close-up on the funnel - was heading directly towards me for a few minutes

Storm overview...damn dark, eh?
