Summer 1997 Southeastern Mass. Funnel Clouds

My thanks to Ron for the scanning (he digitized most of the photographic images on the N1LTV website) and to Bill Miller (K1IBR) for making the pictures available to weather enthusiasts. Last but not least thanks to George and Susan Smith for taking the pictures on August 6, 1997 in Westport, Massachusetts.

As with virtually all the N1LTV web images, just click to view.
