Texas Storm Chasers’ David Reimer and Jenny Brown filmed multiple tornadoes from a cyclic supercell in extreme northern Oklahoma during the April 14, 2012 Tornado Outbreak that affected Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. This was one of the first tornadoes produced by the supercell that would go on to produce tornadoes in Southern Kansas and WIchita, Kansas. Be sure to check out the zoomed in shot as the tornado moved over the road with debris clearly visible! This is only a short portion of nearly an hour of tornado footage shot from multiple high definition cameras. All this footage will be included in the Texas Storm Chasers 2012 Storm Footage DVD.

A high-end, very dangerous, severe weather and tornado outbreak is anticipated on Saturday across Oklahoma, Kansas, and perhaps extreme North Texas. The Storm Prediction Center has already placed much of Oklahoma and Kansas in a SIGNIFICANT Risk of severe weather, shown by the purple color. Within that zone, there is nearly a 1 in 2 chance of experiencing severe weather on Saturday. All indications are suggesting this will be a very significant severe weather event capable of producing long-track, violent tornadoes. I don’t say this to scare anyone, but simply to say you need to be prepared for Saturday. Across North Texas, a cap will limit the overall thunderstorm development. However, any thunderstorm that forms along the dryline on Saturday in North Texas will be capable of producing high-end severe weather including tornadoes. Please take the time now to prepare a severe weather safety plan and have a way to receive weather warnings on Saturday. If you have family or friends in Central Oklahoma and Central/Northeast Kansas, let them know about Saturday‘s potential.
The event is just beginning in MS/AL/GA…

This has already been a historic tornado outbreak with numerous significant tornadoes hitting small towns all across the Ohio Valley. However, the event is really just beginning to ramp up across Mississippi/Alabama/Georgia. The above graphic shows the radar image at 6:36 PM CST/7:36 PM EST. Notice that all the storms are by themselves and not in a squall line. This means the tornado potential remains quite elevated along with the destructive hail and damaging straight-line wind potential. Once these storms begin to congeal into a line of thunderstorms, the straight-line wind potential will increase and the tornado potential will begin to decrease, but not completely.

Good morning,
I’m just starting to go through several hours of video taken on what became the May 24, 2011 Tornado Outbreak in TX/OK/KS/AR. As I continue to edit footage, I’ll post more images and eventually the entire video here.
Video taken just south of Norman, OK as a significant tornado was occluding and approaching I-35.
Video taken around 9:30 PM in Southeast Dallas County (very near I-20/Highway 175)
