    Brief funnel as we were forced to retreat to the north. We should have moved south but we flunked
  rule #1 by not leaving ourselves an exit that direction. This caused us to miss most of the F1 tornado.
  View is to the east.

    Headed back south we glimpse the tornado as we emerge from the torrential rain. Note the debris
  in the circled area. Other spotters in the area were reporting this tornado and we confirmed it.
