Funnel cloud

Driving out to Mom & Dad's I got to see an unmistakable funnel cloud:
I stopped a mile north of Newhall to take these shots.
At this point funnel had clearly defined walls. It takes a lot of energy for a funnel to descend and this one needed some tornado viagra that it obviously didn't get.

I stopped again two miles north and took this. While it was trying to become a tornado it simply petered out.

Another one formed to the south of this one but died so quickly I didn't have a chance to take a picture.

I wanted to see lots of weather during my time back and this trip has great!

  2. I know the weather geek that you are - I can imagine the excitement you had seeing this! Still pretty impressive, even if it didn't, thankfully, touch down.
