Thanks. Unfortunately this chase season isn't off to as good of a start. Still waiting for my first tornado of the season.

lol those are some nice comments. It's not that dangerous as long as you know what you're doing. I put a lot of time into studying meteorology and I have a lot of experience on tornadic storms, so I'm pretty comfortable in that environment. Put a spider on me and I'll freak out though lol.

That was a beautiful storm. There was great directional shear that day, which is what tends to give you those barrel shaped updrafts with striations. Those are my favorite kind of storms.

Thanks for all the compliments. That's my first anticyclonic tornado so I was pumped. Unfortunately it did some damage, but it seemed minimal from the debris. In regards to where exactly the tornado occurred, it was just east of a little town called Sharon I think. I actually have a GPS in my camera so I'll check the exact location and add it to the video description when I get home tomorrow.
