    Modern Storm Chasers have nothing on this photographer...

    The oldest known photograph of a Tornado taken near Howard, SD on Aug. 29, 1884 according to NOAA.

    Maybe I'm just ignorant, but it boggles my mind that the oldest known pic of a tornado happens to exhibit satellites. On a side note tornadoes are one of maybe three things I can think of that actually scare me. Something about that much power and nothing to do about it but hide and either hope or pray depending on your leanings. Beautiful but terrifying.
