[szulborski20]

Love the guys who go inside to get "safe" ..... then continue to watch through the two largest picture windows on earth

[andywolan]

@szulborski20 That footage was taken at Central Chevrolet in West Springfield. Everyone was calm until the storm intensified and caused damage.

Great idea, thank you for assembling this. Just to give some perspective, I was wondering if you might be able to list at least some of the locations that appear here.....anyway, thanks for taking the time to do this.

[andywolan]

@dfunis Thanks for the feedback. I am thinking about adding some text that describes where the tornado is located at the moment in the which the video was taken. I might also add text as to where the camera operator was as well. I am saving this step to a latest draft so I can focus on the video itself for now.

[dfunis]

@andywolan That all makes sense. Anyway, thanks again for assembling this. The destruction was awful--it's still hard to comprehend (a friend of mine has a home near the Wilb/Monson line that was nearly a bull's-eye), but it's fascinating the way it has been captured.
