I was scared as well with it being dark and only seeing the tornado thru the flash of lightning. I had no idea there were as many homes as there was in the path.
I have nothing against tim marshall but I do not see why he could not have rated this tornado an F4. The houses were described by him as being well-built and some were swept clean and looks like it is approaching near F5 damage.
Sarah,Im sorry about Colson,Its not fair that he died in the tornado and wish that every house in Texas had storm cellars. It was very scary to see the tornado in the dark only during the few flashes of lightning and only to watch it get bigger by the minute.Its hard losing family and friends and a Storm Chaser friend of mine who was in the area that night recently passed away. Please tell Colson's family my thoughts are with them when ever I think of that tornado that night.
I fly a pipeline patrol route that goes right across the damage path that's shown in this clip. There's still lots and lots of damage there almost a year later.
The last storm I remember in our area that ever got as bad was back sometime in late Nov., early Dec., 2000{That monster killed like, 30 people from what I heard on NBC, Channel 5}.
And by seeing those pictures, that told me something;
During a tornado, DON'T EVER obey the speed limit, and don't ever drive towards the twister.
I betcha that accounts for 95-99% of deaths in tornado-related auto accidents.
The amazing thing is I have almost an identical video of the same car around a tree (see my videos). But we did not get to see the tornado, we were chasing storms further east.

Although I'm sure only about 30-40% of the fatalities were direct though.
