For reasons beyond my control, this message did not go out on Saturday
evening when I tried to send it.

On the morning of August 6, 2005, between 9:00 and 9:10 a.m., a funnel
cloud formed over Long Beach, NC. I was at 2513 W. Beach Dr. and it looked
to be a mile or so away so it was probably close to the end of the island,
maybe over the sound. It was observed to my northwest. We were just packing
our cars to leave so all my photo equipment was fogged up due to bringing
it out in the humidity, but I managed to snap a few shots. The funnel
became rain-wrapped as the storm moved away. As I travelled northeast and
the storm moved northwest, the clouds looked very black and scary to my
west. A low rainbow formed across the western end of the island.

I have good luck with funnel clouds on vacation. I observed a funnel cloud
on Oak Island on vacation in 2004 and just missed a waterspout there in
2003 by leaving 90 minutes early, so I was amused to see one again this year!
