We finally had our first tornado warning of the year here on the outskirts of Peoria last week. The area is fringe at best for the rotating bastards, and they never approach the insanity that they do in Kansas. I chased the system for a while, only catching wispy glances of anemic funnel clouds.

So I made a movie anyway. It’s nothing great, and some would say downright sucky, but here it is no less.

Also notable was the fact that it happened mere minutes after our aborted aerobatic flight. That might have been slightly terrifying if we had actually left the ground.

    Nothing wrong with this video. I haven’t seen any sky action like that all year.
