Quest for Folly is not an island...or a man.
...as long as you’re not in it’s direct path. I’ve seen a couple. Strangely, while I live in Kansas, I’ve never actually seen one here—just been in the basement for several close calls. Instead, I have seen one in North Carolina (a water spout that came ashore by the Wright Brothers’ Memorial—I have pictures), Florida (pretty cool funnel), and Ohio (eh…nothing to write home about).
Anyway, good luck, and be safe.
