Going through some older pics, I found this tornado photo from ~ 5 p.m. near Culbertson, NE. The initial storm had made its way up from Kansas into southwestern NE and formed tornadoes amidst a lot of dust. Actually, there were two areas of rotation in contact with the ground; one closer to me was slowly spinning and reduced visibility dramatically, and I had to get out of the way. When I got turned around, I then saw the faster-spinning one, still dusty, but becoming less so, and shot the photo. It moved fairly quickly at 40 mph. At that time, I was into manual focus, vintage, Nikon lenses, so I remember trying to keep my cool while focusing!
