11/7/2011 Tipton, OK Tornado Footage, long format video.

On Monday afternoon, StormChasingVideo.com Weather Paparazzi Brandon Sullivan was near Tipton, OK where he caught this extraordinary tornado footage.

In the start of the video it shows a wide shot of the storm and the tornado on a southward approach to the storm. Brandon zooms into a tight shot of the tornado while he and his chase partners follow the storm.

The video then shows a medium to tight shot on a powerful tornado ripping across the ground. This footage shows a text book violent tornado.

The footage continues as the tornado travels to the north with both with intense circulation as it traveled across the open country. At one point the large tornado becomes translucent allowing the inner circulation to become apparent.

As the tornado moved to the north, it went into the Wichita Mountains in southwest Oklahoma. Brandon tried to keep up with the tornado and in the end of the footage it is from his a GoPro camera mounted on the hood of his truck with a wide angle point of view as he approached the large tornado. He paralleled the the tornado after he stopped to let it pass to the north.

All we need is REM playing in the back ground with the song "It's The End Of The World As We Know It..." Tornadoes, earthquakes, drought... what next, the four horsemen?

It is very a nice video. Good footage, honestly. I'm from OK and this guy is a total douche. Seriously. "It's taking out houses!!" Yeehaaa! Douche. Hope nobody died while he's having fun. Sorry to be a downer.

I was working about 300 yards from that Tornado before my friend and I realized it was there! it was so intense

[Trailblazer343]

Wow.. everyone who has commented and said something about them being excited about it taking houses.. That's Adrenaline speaking. That was not getting excited over seeing a tornado hit a structure. BNVN1 is a great guy and is professional about chasing. Great footage Brandon!

@ContentMature

I guess I see that. You have to be into that kind of stuff and that is probably why I don't see it quite like that. Your point is well taken.

[ContentMature]

@5papa It's because they're overcoming a fear, and it gives them an adrenaline boost. I personally would love to see a tornado in person... obviously not close up, but nonetheless I'd like to see one. I WILL agree however, that the way he reacted to houses being ripped from their foundations isn't professional, but again, the adrenaline boost kind of overcomes common sense at this point.
