Additional notes
The pattern of the crop damage in
this photo indicates the damage was caused by a tornado. Near the
center of the photo, the crops are converging toward the center of the
tornado's path. If the damage were caused by
straight-line winds
or a
microburst, the crop damage pattern would be unidirectional or
fanned out.

Tornado Warning
Safety Note: If you are caught out in the open with no available
shelter when a tornado approaches, not all hope is lost. Lie flat and
face down with your hands protecting your head. Try to get away
from anything that may harm you, such as trees, cars or farm equipment.
This includes if you are out driving in the open. If the tornado is
imminent, abandon your car immediately!
