i was there on the west side, across the highway, and i was amazed at how fast it happened. We were eating dinner with some friends and it was just like a sudden gust of wind and then pouring rain... The scariest part was sitting in our car waiting it out because we couldn't go anywhere and then all the sudden all the lights went out, the street lights and the lights from the midway across the highway. definitely the scariest winfield experience ever in my 20 years...
The festival usually has rain but nothing like this. A scary and helpless feeling to be caught outside like this. Went up to Cincinnatti AR to check on her after the New Year's Eve tornado. Utter devastation. A tornado on New Year's Eve?
I was there and that was the first time I had been so scared. It came up so fast and furious. I had never experienced a Kansas tornado and wow. I was camped in a tent and my friends and I got out of town and went to Arkansas. I agree with benjomatic 600 was the scariest minutes in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was a really scary moment however the party after we all survived was flippin EPIC!!! Can't wait till next year---Lenny from TokenGrass (the black guy)
I turned off the camera and we held down the easy-ups so they wouldn't fly into the river. Our plan was to jump in the 4 foot ravine next to camp if tornado activity showed up. Glad it never happened!
@theleglesslizard I've got video from the pecan grove, across from the power station, that clearly shows the funnel passing over the campground. We were lucky I guess. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
One of the scariest hours of my life!!! I think you are across the river road from our campsite. I'm in the Whiskey Pig camp, right by KANT C Behavin'. I ended up running up the fire lane towards the grandstands with a 9 yr old girl over my shoulder, and rain and 70 mph wind in my face. Craziest moment I've seen in 11 years at Winfield.

Some of my friends were here for this. Insane! This reminds me of one of the reasons that I left Kansas. I'm scared just watching this!
