Description

while on the trip going the temperature was above 100F.I hit some heavy rain and small hail. at some distance I saw my first tornado on the ground and did not join a cloud at the top. I was unable to get a picture because of the distance and being on the interstate. during the rain storm the temperature dropped to 77F, but after leaving the storms it quickly climbed back up near 100F Death Valley CA recorded it's highest temperature ever at 136 F

cool shot. I saw where they rename the highway 666 to another name. They say too many people was getting in wrecks there. Just google it lol

Very ominous-looking clouds, similar to what I saw once on Lake Wabamun which, several hours later produced a large tornado that killed many people in Edmonton.
