A Twister Is Born

If you saw this coming over the horizon, you'd be inclined to give up and just accept your fate. One tornado is difficult enough to deal with. Seven at once would surely consume everything in its path and leave nothing in its wake but broken wreckage. Fortunately for the person who created this image, that isn't really what we're seeing.

This is actually a time-lapse photo, showing the same tornado being formed. It starts out life as a funnel cloud before connecting to the ground, and then picking up shape and speed as it becomes a full-blown twister. Even though it looks huge and powerful in its final stage, this is a comparatively small tornado which probably didn't represent much in the way of danger and will have blown out quite quickly. That's probably why the photographer felt safe to stay there and record the entire event.
