Creepy Clouds
“My mom’s best friend owns a farm about a half hour from where I grew up; we went there nearly every weekend to help with upkeep and caring for our horses. All day you could just feel a storm brewing. The wind, and humidity, outside had a greenish tint, and the clouds rolled in as the sun was setting. Right after supper, it started raining hard. A lot of wind and lighting too. I was looking out the window, across the yard, and thought I saw something above the barn on the far side of the yard …
… I was petrified; it looked like rotation in the clouds… and it started lowering down. I pointed it out to my dad. He said it was rain bouncing off the roof of the barn. We both looked out for a moment and clearly saw it suck back up into the clouds. I got goosebumps. We looked at each other for a second in disbelief, then he shrugged and went back into the living room. I sheltered in the bathroom. The next day, we saw in the news that an F-4 tornado ripped through a small town about 24 miles from where we were. I got chills when I saw the news reports.”
