“Multi-vortex tornado destroys barn, dances on pond! Alpine, SD Tornado June 18th, 2014. This tornado was a shape-shifter, as it frequently would change shapes as the rope out stage would begin. Unfortunately, it did hit one farm and killed a poor dog, but the people were okay. In the [above] video, I show where the tornado hits that farm.”

You did a great job capturing that tornado. It was very interesting to watch. I’m glad that nobody was killed during it, and I pray for the family of that dog. That is sad to read. I certainly was memorized.
Hey Autumn, thank you for your wonderful comment. As mentioned in the article, Dick McGowan captured the tornado on video, he’s a favourite of ours.
