1943 [MON]  Roy Hall witnesses the inside of a tornado (McKinney, Texas USA, just north of Dallas)




MAY-03-1943   [MON]


LOCATION:
McKinney, Texas USA, just north of Dallas


WHAT HAPPENED:
      To date, only two people have ever seen the inside of a tornado. The first event occurred on June 22, 1928.
      Roy Hall relates,

The bottom of the rim was about twenty feet off the ground. The interior of the funnel was hollow; the rim itself appeared to be not over ten feet in thickness and owing possibly to the light within the funnel, appeared perfectly opaque. Its inside was so slick and even that it resembled the interior of a glazed pipe. I lay back on my left elbow to afford the baby better protection, and looked up. It is possible that in that upward glance my stricken eyes beheld something few have ever seen before and lived to tell about. I was looking far up the interior of a great tornado funnel.

It extended upward for over a thousand feet, and was swaying gently, bending slowly toward the southeast. Down at the bottom the funnel was about one hundred and fifty yards across. Higher up it was larger, and seemed to be partly filled with a bright cloud, which shimmered like a flourescent light. This brilliant cloud was in the middle of the funnel, not touching the sides.
