Novinger and Kirksville Tornado, Close Encounter 5-13-09, too close!

At first I got within a hundred yards and that was enough, but it was hard to judge its movement and later it caught up to me and the out portion of it passed over the car! This was in Novinger Missouri around 5:50pm 13 MAY 2009. I shouldn't have followed that cop to pull over...I didn't see behind me how close it was and then it was too late. This video is a lesson for myself and all who see it. Don't do what other people are doing around tornadoes. Both times I stopped because other people stopped and it gave me false confidence that it was ok, but it wasn't. I like to have a copilot to help me look out for making mistakes like that, but this particular time I didn't have time to pick one up. Anyway, I'm still here by the mercy of God.
