watch the ceiling and ground closely for any indication of rotation or
debris. You can get a sore neck in a hurry.

Unless it happens to be right out the windshield. This was taken in a
Cherokee over Eastern NM at ~10K ft.

Many years ago I was landing in Burlington, KS because everything ahead was
a solid wall of black. I was talking with FSS when they asked me if I could
see a tornado that had been reported 25 miles ahead. Sure enough, I found it
right away when I knew where to look. Got the plane put away in a hangar
(no one ties down outside in tornado alley) and took the courtesy car into
town. I got there just in time to spend the next several hours in an
underground shelter (met a lot of nice folks!). After it was over, six
twisters had touched down all around town, but fortunately had missed the
local buildings, the airport, and the giant nuke plant outside of town.

Just goes to show that a twister can pop out of what looks like just bad
flying weather.
