Attica, Kansas tornado

On May 12, 2004, a series of funnel clouds passed through the outskirts of Attica, Kansas. Moments later, the clouds merged to form a massive tornado about 1,800 feet wide. As it sweeps through the country and crosses the highway it stops at a nearby town. There, it destroyed a small farmhouse. Completely tearing it apart, piece by piece in a matter of seconds, the tornado brings the debris high up in the sky in an upward spiral. Fortunately, the inhabitants of the house were able to seek refuge in a storm shelter before the tornado swallowed up their home, and no other buildings were destroyed. It's a good thing the monster tornado found its way into a relatively deserted area. Watching tornadoes can be a spectacular sight but it's very, very dangerous unless you're a professional, and even then you could receive injury from related weather disturbances like hailstorms.
