Any ideas what the white “stuff” being sucked out of the farm building is? Water vapor seems most likely to me, but why would there be so much water in the building?

Not sure. Your guess is as good as mine. The thought it could be fertilizer or some of other AG material

I never understood the movie Twister. Why did the tornadoes instantly dissipate as soon as they went over the storm chasers??? Like the storm chasers were the final boss for the twisters.

Cool vid btw!

With all that wind why aren’t those wind turbines working?

Dunno. That requires someone smarter than me to answer.

If you look carefully, you’ll see that they aren’t spinning because the blades are all rotated to the horizontal position. The mechanism adjusts their pitch to control the propeller’s RPM. In light wind, the pitch is 45° to maximize RPM. As wind speed increases, the pitch is reduced to prevent damage to the blades.

PS - @T-ray: Happy belated birthday!
