Near O'Neill, Nebraska, June, 2004 -- the same storm as from yesterday's picture. This was one of those scenes I just had to stop the car and photograph. I wish I'd shot it when the tornado was still conical; at this point it is "roping out" -- or elongating and getting skinnier, a process most tornadoes go through before dissipating.
The tornado appears white because I am shooting it from the west. The sunlight, coming in from the west, reveals the true color of all tornadoes... white. They are nothing more than clouds (and a bit of dust), after all.

"Stop, no closer" is what the sign is trying to say
