HFF everyone! Not quite a tornado, but damned close to it!

The storm and storm cloud seen here had been above us about 15 minutes beforehand and with almost tornado-like gusts of wind! All the garden furniture was scattered around the neighbours' gardens and we acquired a fair sprinkling of theirs!
Figs still not ripe.

Oh wow, that looks like it was some rainfall. I'm not surprised you lost some garden furniture and I hope your neighbours swapped yours for theirs!!!! LOL. Still it's probably been well received from the drought hit fields.

Yes, we exchanged furniture and other bits and bobs all within 10 minutes! The rain was sharp but short and everything was dry in minutes. It would have made no difference to the drought conditions, unfortunately!
Thank you, Jenny!

The more I look at that rainstorm from a distance, the more it DOES look like a tornado, Carol!
It can't have been because it would have been on the news, Shirley!

Los cereales ya están cosechados hace días, parece. La tormenta amenaza, mejor en casa.

The vegetable patch didn't suffer at all! While the storm passed over, it really did seem like the roof would be torn off - and looking at the shape of the cloud it does look a bit like a tornado!
Thank you, José Manuel!

HFF Andy. A photo that appears to be taken in Oklahoma... luckily there was no major damage. And, it's true, we don't need this kind of rain, brief, little and sometimes destructive.
The figs...not until mid-September ;-)

I agree, Paulo! I have seen a few tornado-chasing videos from the Midwest and the shape here does indeed look menacing!
