Since I'm in a tornado watch area for today and tomorrow, thought I'd share this.

The tornado hits right after the SUV pulls up about 58 seconds (if you are impatient).

I'm sure they soiled their pants, I know I would.

Yeah, I should be careful what I say.
 
I just watched the video from home, were those little eddies right at the end of the video ? That wasn't the main funnel right ?

Rhody... :confused:
 
I am surprised by people just before the tornado - they seem completely unaware that something is coming in. I understand someone in car can not know what is going on, but people are walking as if it was a Sunday walk. No sirens, not warnings, they don't see it is behind the corner?
 
Ha! Yea the people seem to be walking normally, then you can see them running a bit. That first car got out just in time. This vid just shows how powerful they can be...Take care Evo

It looks like that they saw what was coming and decided to get between two other cars to keep from being lifted off the ground easily. Pretty smart if that's what they intended. :approve:
