I was there at the time and took a photo. I don't think youtube will let me post a link.

I got a good picture of it on my cell phone while lightning was behind it. We were at the Poop Deck when it made land fall. WOW it was something else.

We had 2 Tornadoes near Joplin Monday. I have discussed this tornado with the staff of KOLR 10 IN Springfield MO. I met all 3 Meteorologists back in April and told them about this unexpected storm. I wish I had not moved to East Beach but stayed where I was so I would have experienced the tornado.

We have allot of chasers in Southwest Mo.

I was in Miami Oklahoma when the sirens went off the other night. There are videos of the storm on youtube. Look under July 12 tornado.

We are getting ready for some of the coldest weather we have had in Missouri in 7 years. I liked your August Tornado better. Read on down.

Keep warm Galveston our cold is coming your way.

I didnt see it at first but then you see it. I had a fun time cleaning my back yard, b/c my neighbors roof was in it. Plus his car was in the palm trees. It tore up dolphin world and missed my house by a few feet.

[oowhaaa]

I'm sure this must be the one that hit land the other day....I'm probably about like about 2 block from where it hit. Glad I wasn't living there this day

On the header it reads " Warning some foul language". When does the foul language occur? Also is there video of the damage this caused?

[trailboyus66]

They must have removed it. I was trying to figure out where the foul language was myself. Unless WOW AND COOL are considered foul language. ha.ha....

Belo Watch. I am sure they would not allow anything inapproiate on their video.

They are a very conservative business in Texas. I think they own channel 8 in Dallas as well as The Dallas Morning News.

I was in town the first time since May.

Less than 5 hours after I arrived the storm hit.

I was disappointed that I had left the area near the Flag Ship Hotel in order to view the weather from the East @East Beach.

The lightning was severe cloud to ground

so I stayed in my car.

The wind picked up to about 30 mph or so; but that was not enough to call in an observation.

I wish I had stayed where I had been

earlier in order to have experienced the Waterspout/Tornado...

Ted this is the tornado-waterspout

I was referring to.

I believe this is the only video taken unless the Galveston Police have released their's.

That would be the one where the windows were blown out of the patrol car......

Notice that this video site is

The Galveston County News

They have been in the media business about as long as Springfield has been around- Maybe longer....

[jort88]

I was there! I saw one that night until it was gone. I just sat there like you watching it go by. I was right by the road, it was so close. I've never seen one. So I was in awe! So sad I didn't get a pic of vid of my own.
