  • awsome footage Rodger

  • Did she happen to live in Fort Smith? Thats where I am and the sirens go off ALL the time but noone thinks anything of it.

  • but i did believe it

  • my friend used to live in arkansas, and she said there were tornados and warnings so often that when they had a tornado people were like " oh yea its just a tornado not a big deal" i was like " yea whatever"

  • holy gronola bars!

  • Then why don't you get your butt and go watch them for yourself, or record some happy kid's music over the clip? No one is forcing you to watch it.

  • You were really close to me, and got a lot closer than I did. This was one of the few photogenic tornadoes this year, and the first one I ever saw in real life.

    Sounds like you were almost as excited as me! :)

  • I am sorry if you don't like the "play by play". I operate a storm chasing tour company, and indeed, I get excited when I see a tornado. I have witnessed over 400 in my 22 years of chasing and get as excited with each tornado I see as if it were the very first one. I get your drift though, and sometimes I even try to curtain the talking to allow the sounds to come through. I also teach my clients about forecasting, and storm identification and sometimes that comes through in the videos.

  • ya gotta love it if you are a thrill seeker! just get out of the path of the vortex! or run like hell! it is some dangerous s**t but can be a lot of fun watching it!!!

  • Freedom of speech & freedom to express ones joy or opinion at any given moment is one of the greatest offerings within the US. However, I can gaurantee you that there wasn't "acting" or "phonyness" going in this video or many others that I have seen & heard over the years from various chasers. It's a PURE joy to them every time they see a tornado. Let them express their joy the way THEY see fit and those that CAN'T see it, hit the mute button.
