Wow, the rotation in that video of the Manchester wedge is just wild. It almost looks like a timelapse.

Manchester Tornado

It's interesting to note that the Manchester tornado crossed the road, then crossed it again in the other direction... it looks like all within a mile or so. These things are so unpredictable. It goes to show that tornadoes are a true act of God. Their paths are something that I don't think can ever be accurately predicted. Sure, we may be able to predict the path of a storm, or give advance warning of when a tornado will happen, but I don't see how we will ever be able to predict what path a tornado will take. Will it hit this town, or that street... will it take a right turn?
