While I was visiting my son in St. Louis, I went to the Greenberg Show in Belleville, IL (27 July). I saw this fantastic N-Trak module of a tornado. I didn't have my camera, but I found a video of it on Youtube.

It's kind of macabre humor, but it's really fantastic. There's a news article on the front of the module with a label "based on real events". There are dark clouds over the top of the module and a path of destruction on the ground Periodically, sirens sound and the funnel cloud drops down and sweeps across the module. The video shows the funnel cloud in action.

Now that's giving a whole new meaning to "Being Realistic"!!!!!!!!

NICE animation tho! I would have done one thing more...... make the top of the spinning funnel "cloud" a bit wider.....

AND, I might add, I thought this WAS a serious one!!!!Like at a show and a tornado went through!!!!!

Very clever, but I doubt it would be a hit in Oklahoma.

I thought a real tornado hit the show.
