These are pictures of a tornado that touched down just west of Webster
City at 5:35 p.m. this evening (June 11).  We were at a Softball
Tournament and in the 2nd inning of the game when we noticed the funnel
cloud bouncing up and down out of the cloud.  it finally came down about
half way to the ground and we brought it to the umpires attention.  he
then called the game and cleared both fields.  The players and spectators
were sent to the Webster City High School and soon the small tornado went
back into the clouds.  After about 30 minutes the umpires let everyone
back to the dugouts but soon called the games for the night because we
remained under a tornado watch.  The tornado sirens never did sound in
Webster City.  It appeared that the tornado was quite a ways away.   It
did touch down - you can see the debris around the bottom of the tornado.
 It was quite interesting to watch it come up as it touched the ground.
Use anything you wish.  There are a few pictures here we took above the
hotel in Webster City too.   They have now called the tournament for the
weekend.  They have received too much rain.
                                                                                
Use what ever you like for what ever purpose you wish.
