Oxford Tornado

First thanks to James Spann and his crew for an excellent job of forecasting.
This contains about 7 minutes of movie tracking the Tornado and wall cloud
as it reaches Coldwater, then over Oxford, then Anniston, Golden Springs and
the new Oxford Exchange. Hope it helps. The video is in Quicktime format
and I have also created a DVD. The one being sent to you is Quicktime.

Yes, now that I see the rest of the viedo that is a tornado in the air.

Yes, it is clearly to see that there is a possible tornado. I could be able to tell better if the viedo quality was better. But other than that it looks like a possible tornado. Great job on filming by the way.

It was November 1983 during the Iron Bowl. The tornado touched down near the Oxford Civic Center, damaged one wing of an X-shaped house, clipped the Sky City department store's back corner (that building is still there) and made a direct hit on the W-D next door, where two older women were killed. The tornado continued a few miles towards Golden Springs, where I lived, but dissipated. Winn-Dixie rebuilt a store within the next year, where there is now a Fred's.

@FarleyTube Really? What month?

Orbits20, I remember that tornado that hit the Winn-Dixie in 1983.

I was filming this supercell's approach from the Target parking lot at exit 188 (just east of Oxford), and am amazed it didn't drop a strong to violent tornado.
