Tornado 20131012 East of Sanger, Texas


Sandra and I were leaving Wal-Mart on University when we spotted the tornado Saturday October 12, 2013. This image was taken in Denton, Texas at the intersection of Bonnie Bra and Hwy 77.  The overpass in the photo is Loop 288.  The tornado was dissipating at the time of the photo.  Earlier the funnel was much darker but I could not find a safe place to pull off the street to take the photo.  I have been storm watching since the early 1970's.  I have seen many photos and films/videos of tornados but this is the first time to see one first hand.  The photo was taken with a Canon T3i using a 55-250mm zoom lens.  According to TV news and the Denton Record Chronicle the tornado was just east of Sanger.
