      We live just 1/2 mile from the tornado.  It was difficult to
      get good pictures of the part of the tornado that touched
      down because it went up and down so much.  In the picture I
      have attached you can see the brown cloud that we watched for
      several minutes before it touched down.  There was a strange
      aurora coming down from that could that eventually formed
      into the tornado.  When we went out to look at damage we can
      see the exact path this cloud took because corn is down and
      trees were dropped on the Canadian National Railroad.  Les &
