    Awesome! Another of those "Where's me clean undies?" situations.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    One for the train enthusiasts- Tornado hit

    You are going to need broadband & a generous download limit as its 10mb & the action only starts halfway through.
    Worth watching though, the script is cut & pasted below

    Occurred in Illinois earlier this year -- camera is on rear locomotive. Watch, especially to the left -- watch the trees bend, debris in the air, and you can actually see the tornado pass from right to left.
    The trestle was moved out of alignment to the left 18 inches.
    The tank car was a load of Ethylene Oxide -- nasty stuff ---

    This camera is in the cab of the second locomotive on the front of a train. It is facing back towards the first car in the train. About halfway thru the film, the action starts

    Twisters.

    My niece lives in San Diego now but as part of her continuing studies after leaving Duke Uni, used to chase twisters and film them.
    She got interested in climate and it's forces when they lived in Sth Carolina and could watch twisters from their home on a hill as they used to go to either side not over the hill.
    The pics she sent back to my Bro and her Mother drove them mad with worry.
    Not to be messed with those things, awesome power.
    Alan.
