Oklahoma City Tornado - February 2009

[epzik8]

One more thing, today is the one year anniversary of this!

[epzik8]

I saw the Storm Stories episode about this on TWC. Also, this is perfect tornado music. :)

[firealarmfreak5]

I remember this. I live in Cooke County near the Red River in Texas. The county to our west was issued a tornado warning and it touched down.

You can even see the hook echo passing north of Oklahoma City that prompted the Tornado Warning shown across the bottom of the screen.

[tremer88]

there was a 10 degree temp difference within a short distance, just one of the erie signs of tornadicness

[broncoj20]

[Jimmy57452]

[tremer88]

hahaha man, you are my new hero. I cant believe you would take the time to do this, this is amazing, its like a flash back to when i was young and terrified of tornadoes! this song is ominous as hell too, they should blast this over the tornado sirens, it would be more effective.

[RJARRRPCGP]

The crawl? Do you mean the doppler radar?

Because it gives me time to read it for a change. LOL.

[tremer88]

you got the old school graphics no fair

[Intelliguy]

This is an emulation.

[tremer88]

what do you mean

[LightningFever86]

He means it's a program that you can download online. This is not the real thing.

[theweatherchazz]

This is not a program you can download online. This is my own personal emulation system.

[LightningFever86]

Oh, right, sorry.

[theweatherchazz]

NP. :)

[ASKconard]

Hail to tennis ball size...just that alone would ruin your day.

[theweatherchazz]

Wouldn't it though?

[SCOGINJE]

did they play this song that day?

[theweatherchazz]

No they didn't, I chose this song because it was one of the newer ones I had access too and was too upbeat and unfitting for the situation.

[ILovestorms]

On the tornado warning scroll, where it says, "TAKE COVER NOW", the punctuation should be an exclaimation point (!) rather than a period.

[SCOGINJE]

did the weather channel play that song back on tuesday?

[LightningFever86]

No.

[SCOGINJE]

did the weather channel play that song back on tuesday?

[theweatherchazz]

dang my grand parents live in Enid. (about 2 hrs north of oklahoma city for those who didnt know where enid was.) good thing they didnt get hit

[ClassicTVChazz]

Enid is marked as WDG on the radar page for reference.

[rattmausch]

That's an old version of the local forecast.  Perhaps something from the mid 90's.

[kenshin891]

I'd been looking at the NWS website all week and kind of saw this coming. Excellent job Chazz! BTW that one tornado was by you?

[JJGSeven13]

the 4000 crawl is so much better than what you have today.

[theweatherchazz]

huh?

[JJGSeven13]

i meant to say that this crawl is so much better than Intellistar's, in terms of the beep.

[JJGSeven13]

Hard to believe that this came a few weeks after that devastating ice storm.

[SpongeStorm4000]

Another great video showcasing your talents. Great job, Chazz!

[ASKconard]

Wow, this is amazing!

[dlhwxcaster]

Music fits the tone of the situation.

I watched the Edmond tornado on live television today. A dramatic sequence of events unfolded before thousands. My prayers are with the communities affected by the inclement weather.

[theweatherchazz]

So did I. I was in my office, flipping through the channels when I saw CNN covering it. I flipped to TWC and of course they were finishing up another riveting repeat of It Could Happen Tomorrow. So I flipped back to CNN and watched as it touched down. I couldn't believe it.

It is eerily reminicent to the 1986 Springbrook Tornado that touched down in my neighborhood - it was the first tornado caught on cam by a helicopter journalist and the footage was widely studied for years to follow.

My friend on a few websites had to go through this today...
