Tornado Touchdown #2 White Oak, Va

have long been a storm chaser and grew up wanting to chase trains and chase storms. In 2004 Virginia saw a number of disturbances from the left overs of tropical storms and or hurricanes pass through the area. This is one of 7 tornados I got a glimpse at during a 4 week period from August to September 2004. This is one of 3 tornados that tornados that came through this area in a short period of time. The second tornado featured in the next clip eventually split into two tornados and barreled it's way northbound across I-95 in route to a destruction path that stretched more then 40 miles and caused the weather forecasters at NWS LWX Sterling Virginia to take shelter.

Before anyone says it. Yes it's not an "obvious" tornado but it had been just moments before picking up and then dropping down again as you saw in video #1.
