Am I the only one who doesn't know what in the hell you're talking about? THe tornado is BEHIND the light poll, but it's FAR from eating it. I guess that the funnel is at least a quarter of a mile away from the light poll.

that is the controversy.

 

Im confused. rbloedow is right...what the hell are you talking about?

Sheesh...if the pole WAS in the air...how the hell would it still be lit???

Not to mention, their would be a lot of sh!t flying through the air if it was as close as you're thinking.

people! jeez! look at the photo. 1 interpretation is that the funnel cloud is about to touch down, and the light pole is partially inside of it. The other interpretation is that the apparent occlusion of the light pole is an aberation.

this photo was taken in early 1980's in dallas.

Uh...are you looking at that full-sized? You can see the entire lightpole.

There's no interpreting to do, you're seeing something that's not there. If you look at the crappy picture (while maximized), it's obvious that that funnel cloud isn't as close as you're thinking. If it was as close as you're saying, there would be things flying around, etc.

If the arm of that light pole doesn't have a lot of corrosion on one half of it, then it IS that close, regardless of what you think.

there is plenty of interpretation left to the eye. yes, its a crappy picture. yes, there are some cues that suggest the funnel cloud is not near the light pole. yes there are some cues that suggest the funnel cloud is interacting witht he light pole.

The picture is archived in the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) Collection.

As I said before, you can see the whole lightpole. You either need to get your eyes checked or get a better monitor!

No, it's not that close, regardless of what you think.
