Last Wednesday a retired fire cheif caught one of nature's cool moments on video.The report from Myhighplains.com shows the former cheif Stan Cole and his friend filming the landspout as it dropped out of the sky near Loraine, a small city about 2 hours Southeast of Lubbock.

Cole admitted that he and his friend were a little too close to the action.  Cole is an Iraq veteran with 10 years experience overseas.

A landspout, according to wikipedia is less danger than a tornado but they are still capable of doing considerable damage.
