I was nervous for a farm in the path of this storm which had a history of producing tornadoes. The last thing I was hoping to see was someone's home destroyed by a twister.  I anxiously watched as it threatened this farm with its violent winds.

I continued to see rapid rotation within the cell and small funnels would be begin
