5/24/2011 Canton, OK Tornado

BNVN Weather Paparazzi Verne Carlson was chasing the major tornado outbreak that hit Oklahoma on May 24th, 2011.

The storms fired up in near Canton, Oklahoma on Tuesday and not to be out done with how close you can get to the tornado Verne Carlson, who was also on the Canton, OK tornado drove right up next to the tornado as it was ripping up a field and doing some major damage. Verne's video shows tree's flying over him as he is driving after the tornado. Verne followed the tornado until Grapefruit size hail started falling on him. One of the huge hail stones actually hit him in the leg and he had to get out the area.
