Striking Tornado Photo from April 2, 2006 Outbreak.

Here's a few more pennies...

The dark splotches in 1 and 2 appear to be some nearby scud. And where there's scud, there's usually more scud. As such, the contents of 3 are subject to opinion. Maybe the bottom of 3 is one feature while the top is another. Since it's lit all weird by the lightning, any number of things could be occupying that dark space. And finally, number 4 was an interesting feature. Rain wrap? Maybe something closer to the camera in just the right place?
