Saw my first funnel cloud

[ff500]

As I was heading onto the Cape I saw these weird dark clouds, one of them had what looked like a wedge shape underneath it. I thought to myself that looks like a tornado, but on Cape Cod, no way! The rain starting coming down in buckets and when I finally got to my house, there were confirmed reports of funnel clouds, one less than a mile from my house, there was also a report of a water spout.

I tell ya, Mother Nature has gone crazy.

Don't forget, a tornado tore up Springfield just a summer or two ago. But I know what you mean; you don't expect that kind of thing in MA.

There's been tornadoes in Ma before but to see funnel clouds on Cape Cod is extremely rare. Someone took this picture, it was posted on the local website and this is right down the street from my house. It's probably not the most exciting thing for some people but I thought it was pretty cool to see.

Had an F4 scale go through a few miles west of me some years back. That was a big mean bitch.

That's amazing seeing multiple waterspouts like that. But imagine being surrounded by multiple waterspouts. Now THAT would make me a bit uneasy.

Wait until you see a full blown tornado on the ground......at night. It's awesome, and scary at the same time!

Lol night tornadoes are no joke. Definitely scary. The one we had back in 1999 (may 3rd tornado) was CRAZY shit!! It was an F5, but they say it should have been closer to an F6 if there was an F6. 320mph+.

I wish I had taken a picture with my phone, I was just about at the Bourne Bridge when I saw that wedge shaped cloud, it looked like it was right around Mashpee.

May 3rd, 1999. F5/F6 :uh oh: I was 11 at the time and scared shitless

Wow man... Yeah I'm from the cape myself. There have been a few random funnel clouds/tornados reported there over the years but I've never seen one.

Remember, we had an F3 rip through Springfield last summer and a lot of really bad thunderstorms too. This year could be worse.
