This photo from Sunday’s storm of what appears to be the beginning of a funnel cloud over Brooklyn was posted on Brooklynian by Carmen. It’s a pretty amazing image and begins to explain the ominous looking cloud that was pictured here even though it’s not entirely clear to the untrained eye if it was just an odd pattern in the cloud or if it was a very early funnel. Witnesses report seeing circulation.

I grew up in Omaha, and spent a large part of my youth eating dinner in the basement and waiting out tornados. We saw that cloud out the window in Red Hook, called everyone to the front door to show the fingers of the spinning cloud pulling lower and lower….but it was hardly spinning, and the birds were still singing, so I don’t think it had enough to really turn into a twister. Still, it was really beautiful.
