Tornado recorded passing right by television station

This one is on my list of cool non-vintage footage (like the Salt Lake twister and the tornado passing over the probe).

Here we have a tornado spawned by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The station, tracking the storm (also on radio), pans out with their tower camera and discovers the twister already on the ground. The bad news is that it's heading their way.

Pretty astonishing footage.

heyy im ashley and im very intereheyy im ashley and im very interested by these types of nateral disasters but terrified as well there have been many reserchers saying that many things are supposed to happen durrin december 21 2012 do you have any evidence of this?i believe the earth is slowly tipping sideways so the poles are west and east in summer the north pole will be recieving direct sunlightas when cold and hot mix it causes nateral disasters do you believe my theory or the researchers?

The only thing I believe is that NO ONE can predict the future. Not even the most esteemed researcher in the world is a psychic. Remember all that Y2K bullshit? Planes were supposed to be falling out of the sky. People were actually building underground shelters as if we were heading into a full-scale nuclear war. As for 12/31/2012, I wouldn't worry. We'll probably just have some snow. LOL

(Part 2) Yep, I did, I'm a dork LOL. Anyway, to answer your question, it does seem rather silly...when you think of people in their storm shelters or in basements when the power's out. But it's useful for their loved ones, I suppose...watching the tornado live to see exactly where it's headed and if it's a threat to any relatives that live around there.

There's always gotta be that stupid, annoying little rain drop on the camera right where the tornado is. Without fail, I tell ya. LOL.

Thanks for the info, rgoleman.

"Tornado on the ground! Tornado on the ground! We have a tornado on the ground! In south panama city! Folks we have a tornado on the ground! Are we on the air? Tornado! Tornado! Tornado!! I can say TORNADO!!"

Does anybody want a bag of Tortillas? Or maybe a Torta?

Wow... A storm chase without even leaving the building! Cool!

[Utahraptor2002]

He says "There's a tornado on the ground" 9 times. I think that if he would have said it one more time then it would have been too much
