PHOENIX — With all of the rain and hail coming down in the Valley Thursday evening, it was hard to see much in the distance.
The National Weather Service Phoenix spotted something quite rare in the Phoenix area, however — a tornado.
They said a landsprout tornado was visible south of downtown Phoenix just after 5 p.m. on Thursday.
It lasted only a very brief amount of time.

NWS Phoenix said that the last report of one in the Phoenix area was Oct. 6, 2015, near Goodyear.
For what was a crazy monsoon storm that dropped nearly two inches of rain in many areas, maybe this won’t surprise many people.

I'm still trying to figure out the middle ground
about this man.
The left leaning media says one thing, he a gentle
saint, the conservatives say another, he's a pure communist.
I've found the following
Mandela was not imprisoned for opposing apartheid, or segregation, in
Africa, but for being a communist terrorist murderer-bomber in service to the
Soviet Union. -
The reason the Obama's are rushing to pay
respects... their ideology is the same
The ANC’s
guerrilla force, known as uMkhonto we Sizwe—MK, or “Spear of the Nation”—was founded in
1961 by Mandela and his advisor, the Lithuanian-born communist Jew JoeSlovo, born Yossel Mashel Slovo, who was officially named
secretary general of the South African Communist Party in 1986.
Slovo had been
the planner of many of the ANC terrorist attacks, as detailed in the book
Victory or Violence: The Story
of the AWB of South Africa, including the January 8, 1982 attack
on the Koeberg nuclear power plant near Cape Town, the Church Street bombing on
May 20, 1983, which killed 19 people, and the June 14, 1986 car-bombing of
Magoo’s Bar in Durban, in which three people were killed and 73
injured.
In 1962, Mandela
was arrested along with 19 others, half of whom were White communist Jews, in a
police raid of ANC
headquarters at a farm owned by Andrew Goldreich, also a communist
Jew, at Rivonia, a Johannesburg suburb.
In the Rivonia Trial, which took place between
1963 and 1964, the defendants were tried for 221 acts of sabotage designed to
overthrow the government and conspiring to aid foreign military units, when they
invaded SA to further the objects of communism.
The prosecutor,
Percy Yutar said at the trial that “production requirements for munitions were
sufficient to blow up a city the size of Johannesburg.”
Escaping the death sentence, Mandela was
given life in prison.
By 1990, the
communists behind Mandela had gained enough power to force his release.
Apartheid was abolished in 1992 and the ANC was put into power in 1994 with
Mandela as president. Slovo became his secretary of housing.
Shortly
thereafter, Mandela and Slovo, along with a group of ANC leaders, were filmed chanting a pledge to kill all
whites in South Africa.
