I saw this video today, thought I would post it up just in case some of you have not seen it's entirety on the news. It was obviously filmed by a storm chaser crew. You can tell it's in real time and some of the lanquage was edited out for viewing. You can hear the lady running the camera telling the guy driving,... DON'T GET INSIDE IT..... and he kepts saying he won't but he comes pretty close.
One thing that stands out towards the last of the video is the shear magnitude of destruction these storms cause. It looks like an atomic bomb hit the area. I saw destruction similar to this back in 1994 down in Homestead Florida after Hurricane Andrew. The weather guys said that hurricane had many ' mini swirls ' as they called them. Something like tornados inside or on the edge of the hurricane. Anyhow here is the video, be aware it is quite shocking. (but no bad language)
