it never touched ground or water as far as I could tell. it may have been over the bay or the gulf since I was quite close by. I could certainly see the rotation though. I've only seen this once before

Not entirely true. Being in KS where we see numberous Tornados every year in the spring and early summers, that picture is definately something we'd see in our skies.

Given the number of styles and sizes of Tornado that we get, you tend to take it all serious, even the little rope tornadoes. The only thing I can't see in the above pic is the cloud structure.

Here's a pic of a rope I took last year. It's kind of hard to see, but it starts close to the top right of the pic, see the dark portion of it. It goes through that 'fluffy' cloud, and continues downward, white rope. That was probably about 2 miles west of my house, and was very long.

Here are a few shots of a waterspout of the coast of Key West I shot in July, 2002. It was actually pretty cool!

"Using data from CT scans, researchers in France have created a model of King Tutankhamun as he looked shortly before dying at age 19.

The work was based on sophisticated CT scans of the mummy taken Jan. 5 in his tomb at Luxor in the Valley of the Kings. CT scanning, typically used for medical diagnoses, can be used to produce three-dimensional images.

Those scans showed that Tut was a healthy, well-fed young man at the time of his death and yielded no evidence of foul play."

He died at age 19? Geeze, maybe being a King isn't all it's cracked up to be...

Never heard of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle ? It says you can never be sure exactly where you are if you know your speed exactly, and vice versa. You were probably in the proximity of either here of there.

I have also been unsure of my location on occasion of having a beer too many....

King Tut looks alot like Boy George. Maybe it's just the makeup.

Good points BRJ. Actually, his head gear is probably worth more than all of your assets AND all of my assets combined!
