Albany, MO Tornado


This video was shoot near Albany, MO on May 24th 2004 (aka P-DAY)... At one point the main tornado was about 100 yards away, however the satellite tornado coming around the base got about 100-200 feet away... This is by far the closest I have ever gotten to a tornado!!! The terrain made it a little hard to see, so it did close in on us fast! The satellite tornado is what really caught me off guard... Either way it was very crazy/intense there for about 10 minutes!!! It really was an amazing multiple-vortex tornado that went up and down many many times! From Albany, MO it continued east towards Bethany, MO where it eventually dissipated... Here is another chase account from that day! This tornado caused strong F-2 damage in Albany, MO!


*WARNING* Again unfortunately there are cuss words... This one is a little worse than most of the storm chasing videos I shot, so if you are sensitive to language then please don't watch! Again I'm very sorry about that but at 24 years old I wasn't too worried about it! Today I let very few go while taping!!!

What music is that? It sounds like the music from Twister.
