Dunn NC Tornado forming 1 mile away April 16 2011 F3 140mph 1 Mile wide

Exactly 1 mile away from center of circulation. If you don't want to listen to me get excited, please mute this video. I also appoligize for the language. I was also on the phone with my girlfriend while I was recording this. I just turned onto HWY 301 South in Dunn and drive down until I can see the rotation in the clouds. I pull over in front of the dunn scrap yard and watch and listen as the tornado start bearing down on houses and a foodlion warehouse. Also this tornado was rated a F3 with winds of 140 mph and was 1 mile wide.

either you have balls, or no brains lol. But thanks for sharing! i live between Dunn and Benson and it jumped our house!

@corvettez0910 Yes sir I do have balls and also I have brains. I have studied storms and read books and watched videos that explain how it forms. Also things such as the rear flank downdraft or the devils circle. But you could also say that Im an adrenalin junky for storms. Since I was 5 I remeber being outside in the storms. I love the feeling of the pressure changing.

You got some good footage and apparently enjoy this type of dangerous work...I'm sure you have watched it a few times by now, maybe you should count how many times you used the "f" word and work on reducing that for your next production...peace

@footinstirrup I know and I appoligize for that. To tell you the truth I didn't realize it until I watched it. I have been chasing storms for over 3 years now and this was the first tornado I finally saw, and as you can tell I got a bit too excited. Thank you for the advice though, I do plan on making more and without the yelling and cussing and also the the shaking of the camera. It was also not the best camera I have but the other one was full at that time.
