[Northkeep] Fighter Practice and Storms

[Kathryn Helstrom]

I watched the "lowering" of the clouds between Kellyville and Kiefer from my
back yard.  There was a huge circulation just above the tree tops about 1/2
mile south of my house.  It was scary-looking all by itself, especially as I
heard the sirens screaming.  But when I turned around and looked towards the
north, the other clouds were not just boiling; there were big patches of
gray and white that ZIPPED south towards the funnel forming over my
neighbor's acreage.  They were like scraps of cotton being torn from a
bale, and sucked into the confluence.  It was the most disturbing thing I've
ever seen.  I ran back into the house and continued to look from the bedroom
window.

The funnel never touched down.  Perhaps it's because the terrain is heavily
wooded and hilly.  I think I peed a little bit.
