Auntie Em, Auntie Em look it's a twister! It's not that uncommon to see a funnel cloud in the Pacific Northwest. They appear mostly in the spring and early fall when you have rapid changes in the atmoshere. What's unusual about this funnel cloud is where it occured. Bellevue Washington, just north of downtown Seattle!

This funnel cloud appeared just before 8:00 Thursday morning and hung around for about 10 minutes. The "cold air" funnel popped up in the wake of the weather system that moved across the Northwest late yesterday. Remember funnel cloud is not a tornado. A funnel cloud can only become a tornado is it reaches the ground. This one didn't. Still it made for interesting water cooler talk around Seattle today.
