Video from Saturday's tornadoes in Minnesota!
This storm chasing season is likely to go down as the best ever for a large number of chasers. 2010 has been unusual not only in terms of actual numbers of tornadoes, but also in the variety of extremely photogenic storms. Saturday was no exception, as those who were around the Fergus Falls area of western Minnesota can confirm.
Bill Doms was among the chasers there, and he shot this fantastic, high-contrast video of multiple tornadoes Saturday evening. Unfortunately this tornado went through a farmstead
causing severe damage, but thankfully there were no injuries. Bill offers his apologies for not being able to stream this event, but his data service was very poor in that area, making streaming an impossibility. Eric Whitehill did have good data, and his live stream did capture the action in real-time, which sent Reed into a near panic attack as he watched from his bedroom in Norman. Reed has been literally working day and night putting the finishing touches on his dissertation, so he has had to miss a lot of chases since mid-June. That hasn't been easy on him! - The next few days hold chase potential for the central and northern Plains as well, so if any of you happen to catch a chaser streaming an amazing tornado on the
Live page, don't tell Reed!!
