IWXwx Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 No wonder he lost control, look how fast he was backing up. His column didn't lock up, he was backing up too fast on a muddy road. And why, I don't know, the tornado was nowhere near him at that point, was moving away. If the truth be known, I would bet that he was simply in a hurry to get into a better position with tornado moving away from him. Congratulations Brett and David!

Ian Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 nice shots brett and vid david. i find it interesting how you categorize these things brett.. great shots but seeing most of your photos im not sold its the most photogenic torn you've taken pics of. then again you get a lot of 'em and looking at a pic on screen doesnt do it justice im sure. what makes it for you?

icebreaker5221 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 This day will go down as a milestone in my chasing carrier. So far, I've found six tornadoes in my video and the funny thing is that most of them are pretty potent. While storms were moving today, my supercell really never took off. The road network was excellent for the first half of the event, so I was able to get up right behind several tornadoes. This day is the highlight of my chasing carrier thus far. Anyway, here's my video. I've got it down to about seven minutes with multiple tornadoes. Enjoy! Wow, that mini vortex within the broad vortex starting at 3:20 is amazing!

Cheeznado Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Does anyone know why the Norman office still only has one tornado in their LSRs? Looks like there were at least 10 yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yeah, what gives? Somebody on this discussion forum has video of 6 tornadoes, but there's one tornado report on the SPC storm reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettjrob Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 nice shots brett and vid david. i find it interesting how you categorize these things brett.. great shots but seeing most of your photos im not sold its the most photogenic torn you've taken pics of. then again you get a lot of 'em and looking at a pic on screen doesnt do it justice im sure. what makes it for you? Thanks man... I think the combination of the frontlighting once it got north of me and all the red dirt swirling around (even more visible in some of my other shots I didn't post) really did it. IMHO, it's vastly better for a still photographer to be south/west of a tube and get that frontlit view so that it's not just a silhouette, and up until yesterday the overwhelming majority of my intercepts were backlit.
