  Subject: [wxqc] Tornado hits small Texas commercial cave


  We got word from the owner of Cave Without a Name, near Boerne, Texas, that
  a small tornado went over their property today. The tornado ripped off a
  porch on the front of their visitor center, tore off the roof to the
  entrance tunnel of the cave, and ripped up a juniper tree.

  A tour was inside the cave when the tornado crossed over the entrance.
  Visitors and the guide reported that the change in pressure caused
  everyone's ears to pop. There is an underground river which flows through
  the cave and it was also reported that a mist suddenly formed on the river
  and began to flow up through the cave.

  Thankfully, none of the guests or employees were injured. They figured out
  exactly what had happened when they returned to the surface and saw the sky
  through was should have been the roof of the entrance tunnel.
