Unconfirmed Tornadoes

[Marc Austin]

Has anyone experienced a situation in which you knew you were looking at a tornado on the ground, debris cloud and all, only to find out that there were no confirmed reports of the tornado that you witnessed? I would be interested to see how many of you have any photos/video of an unconfirmed "tornado". I have a couple of photos that I can post, but I will wait to see if anyone responds first. I also don't have them on the computer yet, so I need some time to size them.

I'm always willing to submit video and photos to the NWS, and I'm particularly willing should there not be any sort of prelim tornado report. I do know that some tornadoes have been 'confirmed' by video/photo alone, so I'd imagine NWSFOs would love to see any photos or video that you have.

Heck yeah....happens all the time! I have several such vids that I took to the local NWSFO's that never showed up on reports. Don't care. I don't believe that the reports are worth much, and so what?
