Sunday, this Tornado decided to come on shore. Scary Stuff. This is very close to where I fish and I have close friends there.
This Video was shot from the Bay. It came right out of the Ocean and kept going. I hope I never see anything like this in person.
This was in Fort Walton Beach and the guy filming has no brain.

O my! In the era of the smartphone and the selfie self preservation and common sense has completely gone out the window, it is more important to film it than get the hell out the way or help other people get out the way!!! The recent plane crash in the US being a prime example, what do you do when your plane is about to crash land - you film a darn selfie! It seems to even happen during shooting incidents all over the world - armed robbery, no problem, stand up and film the whole thing so you can share it on Facebook ???
I will be in that exact spot in less than two weeks to see the aftermath.
When that debris starting hitting the water, it looked like something out of transformers, but he still felt the need to wait to get impaled.
I don't get it. I just hope it didn't do too much damage.
I have vacationed in that area many times. The Hurricanes are bad enough, but that was a freak of nature.
Sharknado!
words come to mind listening to that guy
"stupid is as stupid does"
Stay safe Daron.
Wish I could join you on the beach.

I witnessed one in Loreto BCS.
The skipper we use refused to go out one morning because of what he call "Toro's".
He insisted we skip today and go tomorrow. We spent daybreak watching one of these from the marina.
We usually go out in the panga 10-20 miles depending what the target is that day.
This was about the time I thought it was a good idea to open a beer at 6am and watch the show from land.

It went between Toni and me, while she was in Publix. :o
I've lived in the area pictured for 25+ years and that's the closest I've been to one here. I hope that's the last one for another 25.
