Mini Tornado



I was at my first fastball tournament of the season in Innerkip.  I was watching the games from the stands where I could watch both diamonds at the same time.  The beer garden was beside the stands along the first base line of diamond 2.  Because it was such a sunny day they had put up a little tent for the fans to sit under.  I was sitting there and all of a sudden I saw a little funnel cloud of dust form in the beer garden.  The funnel cloud picked up the little tent and knocked it over onto a little family of parents and kids.  One man tried to catch the tent and got a little cut on his arm.  I had never seen a tornado before and I asked some of the other fans if they were common around here.  They said they had never seen them before but I know that I sometimes hear tornado warnings on the radio.
