Great picture. I liked in OK for years and never saw a tornado. I gave it a nine because I'd have liked it to be clearer. I want to see! Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: April 2, 2011 Comments: 664

FUDGE CICLES...get out of there. I really don't think I'd care to live in tornado alley. Great capture. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: March 14, 2003 Comments: 998

Thanks for all the kudos my friends...I shot this going 60MPG with my friend steering...There were over a hundred storm chasers also chasing it. The tornado was moving at 50MPH and there was no way I was going to catch it. The shot is grainy and a tad blury but that's because it's so far away.... Action: Quote \| Ignore User
