Eye of a tornado
On the 24th of July this year my son and I went to the market to make a number of purchases. When we returned to the car, I saw that many people are looking into the sky with fear. Heavy bags forced me to look at my feet more.
When I looked up, I saw the sky color lead. Before us was a chimney of a thermal power plant. Actions unfolded over her.
As I said, the sky has darkened. Then, in a few minutes, the eye of a hurricane or a tornado began to appear. Immediately afterwards, ascending currents rushed up to this opening in the sky. This is evident, white clouds, which I marked with red arrows.
I only once heard of the tornado that passed over the capital of Moldova, but, then I was not in Moldov .. And now, there was the first time when I saw the birth of a tornado. This is a terrible sight, especially when you realize that, to the hearth no more than one kilometer.
This continued for some time. Then, the eye disappeared and the tornado was reborn in a simple pouring rain without much consequence. God has mercy on us.
You need to look at the sky more often.

In the last picture you can see major wall-clouds which are a sign of tornadic weather.
Many thanks @solominer ! I have not seen a tornado before. Very useful information. Do you mean the clouds that are at the bottom of the last photo?
Ah no problem, yeah those clouds at the bottom look like wall clouds which tornados tend to form in or near.
Great pics! I feel like I was there.
Many thanks @invariable.muse ! It is better to look through the monitor))
