I was in a bus headed toward Saginaw. I was sitting on the right of the bus, and looking out the window, I saw a long, ropey funnel cloud high up, and slanted. I didn’t think we’d be getting close to it, nor did I think it would get closer to the ground, but we pulled into a downtown area, and the funnel was closer. As I watched it lowered and the end of its funnel seemed to blast apart the roof of a building. It trailed downward and broke bricks on the face of the building and I realized it wasn’t quite right. The tornado was pushing outward instead of drawing upward. It shifted and aimed at the bus, and I could see up the tornado, but the bus was shoved backwards. I could watch it from above at the same time that I was aware of being in the bus, but we were pushed almost sideways backwards. The glass over my window cracked.
People screamed but didn’t seem too interested in the fact that this tornado was not acting in a way that normal tornadoes did.
I watched cars get pushed back, but no one seemed injured.
