The tornado that hit Madison's southwest side passed right over my apartment complex - the clounds were low and rotating, just not on the ground yet. Here's some pictures that I took from my balcony.

 

COOL!

Shoulda been out ridin. That swirling will just help you learn circles, right?

dude it was nasty in MN but it sounded like it got worse here.....i was out side on the job and there was **** flying everywhere it was like a damn huricane or somthing come to find out there was a tornado less then 10 miles away......

 

I guess we got hit a lil harder than I thought last night....I have sum "warrenty issues" w the new house now...

 

Nice pics! How much damage did that tornado do???

 

****in **** was awesome last night! I love chasing storms like that........talk about a ****ing rush! I haven't seen lightning that fierce in quite some time either!

 

I've seen LOTS of big trees down around Verona Rd, Whitney Way and Mineral Point. Someone's garage got torn off there house and there were a few buildings flattened near the intersection of Mineral Point Rd and Whitney Way.

 

i saw a ton of trees down on my way to work ... i heard that 4 tornadoes touched down in wisconsin that night... i asked my boss where they all were... she said one in madison, one ... oh i cant remember where... turns out that one of them went threw like 6 or 7 miles from my home ....
my house just looked like it got a little rain ...

 

Here's what the National Weather Service had to say. My apartment is 2.5 miles sw of downtown Middleton....

06/23/2004 0840 PM

3 miles SW of Madison, Dane County.

Tornado, reported by trained spotter.


NWS damage survey verified a tornado that started about
835 PM about 3 miles southwest of Middleton... moved east
southeast through southern Madison just north of the
south beltline... and ended about 844 PM at a point about
2.5 miles south of the Capitol square. Estimated winds
about 90 to 100 mph. Several buildings and signs
sustained damage and numerous trees were either uprooted
or damaged.

 

A trained spotter? I want that job! wouldn't you think it would be either you saw a tornado or you didn't? Wonder if they have a training school, "trained spotter" might look good on a resume.
