Butterfly wings and tornado's

In an interesting demonstration of the interconnectedness of everything here is the Japanese Tsunami working it's way across San Francisco bay, fortunately with a little less ferocity than it did across Northern Japan!

When I saw this the first thing I though of was that unless people knew what it was then local observers of this phenomenon would probably chalk it up to a freak of nature or possibly even a supernatural event, it's all a matter of perspective.
