[quote]Can you imagine what the other comments are as the scale heads up to F-12 from F-6 INCONCEIVABLE. Bet an F-12 would be a F-12 BEND OVER AND KISS YOUR BUTT GOODBYE!

of course not to spoil the fun, but the moment the air pressure changes especially in a tornado, the balloons would pop. ;) ;D


Would they pop or deflate (implode)?

wow to many topics today that make you think, LOL!

I don't know about 4 funnels at teh same time, though it could have been.  Its kinda hard to imagine a 1/2 mile wide tornado.  I think it might have started as 4 then conglomerated into one huge one

My interest was directed quite differently while I was picked up in one :P.
Sorry, I had no balloons with me and was in no condition to properly conduct such an experiment, anyway.
