5* Great capture! I like the weather radio too...perfect with this video.
I've got a feeling 2010 is going to be an above average season for thunderstorms and severe weather in this area if this weather pattern we've been having continues through Spring.
After that slow May last year, I figure this May will make up for it. Hard to believe Oklahoma only had 4 or 5 tornadoes in the month of May. But it does happen. Hopefully more action this year, but not hitttting peoples property.
Oh yes, I was very pleased with this catch, because May was so slow with tornadoes, especially in Oklahoma. We only had 4 or 5 for the month of May which is really low for OK. I know that the record for fewest in May is 0 in Oklahoma. I figure 2010 ought to be quite active in May. Thanks for the comment.
This is my best tornado. Like I said to others, just wish the gnats weren't trying to investigate the moisture in my eyes. I finally had a tripod, but I didn't get to use it on count of the hail and rain. But it was awesome viewing this one. It was actually on the ground for about 18 minutes. I went to get closer to it, but it got rainwrapped so bad that I couldn't film it anymore at my new and closer location.
This was one where I wished I could have been outside filming. I wanted more of that structure, but the rain would get on my lense if I got close to the window. I had it rolled down, because I can't stand filming thru a rainy window. But it was amazing to see, just wished the gnats weren't hindering me while filming this.
Yeah I hate those gnats too. Still had to be awesome seeing this tornado. You look like you were decently close. I hope you can get the rest of the video on, I see you had some problems with errors coming up. I see several vids with that auto focus problem. Glad you have that solved for next year.
Yeah, I had turned the auto-focus off, but I didn't realize it automatically comes back on if the camcorder is turned off for 24 hours or more. But now that I know this, it will be off before I start rolling to the storms in 2010.
Nice footage! =)

Classic tornado, Chris!!! On your wide-angle shots, the overall storm structure is awesome too! I'd love to see the rest of your footage as well.
