#tornado

I was rather privileged to find myself, for the second time in my short passage on this earth, approached and engulfed by a mini-tornado in a hot southern Eryri yesterday.

It was almost entirely calm when I heard the sound of windswept grass slightly downslope.

It grew louder and, for several seconds, a ~35mph wind blew around me. It could then be heard slowly drifting away, up slope.

A classic and visible form was seen locally in July last year:
