These photos were taken from my location in Allamuchy Township, Warren County, NJ, looking northward. Take note of the strange line running through the clouds from left to right across the photo in the center, and then just to the right of that, on the right lower part of the photo (just above the mountain), the clouds seem to hang lower, to the point that you can't see the base of the clouds.
Based on my location, looking northward, the time of the photo, the strange nature of what I was seeing and that I felt it was necessary to point this out to my family and take photos of it, distance northward of my location, where the tornado actually took place, and the time the tornado actually took place, I am certain this was what eventually turned into the tornado. This area that you are looking at, where the lower clouds are passing, is lower in elevation than Stanhope and Hopatcong, which would explain why it didn't touch down here, but did there.
I have witnessed several tornadoes before in NJ, and an F2 nearly hit my home in 1981, but I never before witnessed anything quite like this. The F2 that nearly hit my house in Independence Township, Warren County, NJ, did so at night, so I didn't have an opportunity to witness the cloud structure at the time. The one that I witnessed near Califon, NJ, happened in a wooded area, where I witnessed the funnel, but couldn't see an extended stretch of sky, and the tornado that took place in Washington Township, Morris County (on Schooleys Mountain), exhibited an incredible cloud structure but nothing quite like this.
This was truly incredible and I am really happy I got some photos of it to share with all of you.
