Looking WNW from Agronomy at 12:30 PM on 8 Sep 2005
Thursday was a wild day for weather on the ISU Campus. A weak tornado touched down on campus and produced a narrow path of extensive tree damage. The Agronomy Building, which houses the IEM, took a direct hit. The featured image is a shot from the webcamera sitting ontop of the Agronomy Building just before it hit. Unfortunately, the big-foot image quality may tend to discredit its veracity, but the dark cloud in the middle matches up very well with the damage path and time of the tornado. Meteorology undergrad Scott Lincoln put together an excellent page detailing the damage.
