I filmed this wall cloud near my neighboorhood that eventually spawned a tornado. The 2nd vidoe actually shows the tornado which went on to damage several homes nearby. Scott Air Force Base.

Ah, This is awesome!  I live in Aurora Colorado on the airforce base and in 2009 we had several tornados pretty freakish, but I want to work with the weather :].

What state was this in??

[usafchaplain]

This was in Southern Illinois near St Louis, Mo.

LOL...The guy screaming in the background is my husband telling our neighbors to get inside. We are on the next street down and were taking videos as well. We are both weather officers. What a close call!

[usafchaplain]

Nice! My wife kept saying come inside...and I'm like, why? If it's my time, it's my time...and besides, it's sitting right on top of us, so we're probably toast whether inside or out!

At 2:06, that hummingbird is sexy.

I'm not sure where I got them. We've had them a long time.

I remember that day...I was at the softball fields on base and had to run into the Fire Dept building for shelter

Definitely a favorite. Great cloud formations and -- what makes a storm -- thunder and lightning! The windchimes on background added to the natural aspect of the storm. Excellent!!

[CoolBalla15]

Great video. Pretty scary clouds there. Loud thunder, too. And that tornado siren is definitely a Single Toned Modulator. I like the sound of the Wind Chimes, too. I hope you guys were okay. :)

That's a single toned Modulator siren.
