Find the Tornado

Hint: It's not where my friends are looking.

Rather than actually being beneath the rotating wall cloud like, you know, almost every tornado ever, this tornado decided to troll really hard and hide in the rain at a weird place on the storm for almost its entire life, remaining unnoticed by those of us looking where it was SUPPOSED to be until its final ten seconds. Major fail, but a great emphasis of why it's important to maintain situational awareness, and also a reminder that Mother Nature doesn't care what we THINK we know; we're so wrong, and she points it out all too often.

Sorry for the gross edit. I hadn't noticed the tornado at this point and was taking pictures of structure. I didn't think I would need to focus on and contrast the crap out of the rain for a hidden tornado. Story of 2015.

Fun fact: this is probably one of the most photogenic tornadoes I have captured. A nice laminar cone. And I didn't even notice it in that stage.
