So ... I didn't know how to write about this yesterday when it happened, but I was napping at lunch in the crane when an automated alert on my phone woke me. It advised us of an imminent tornado, and to seek shelter immediately.

I looked over my shoulder to see a wall of weather coming at us, so I warned the rest of the job, weathervaned the crane, closed the windows, and put on my boots to prepare to climb down.

The wall hit us for a half hour with 80km/h sustained winds peaking at 105km/h, and torrential rain that flooded the area.

Here are some pics that I took, and some that other people took... in the long panorama I am in the downtown at far left. Shitting my pants in that tiny cab lol.
