Perry, GA Tornado Aug 26, 2008

Filmed By: Tim Hardy - AF1G, Chase 82

This storm was associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Faye, and was one of several small tornadoes produced by a series of high precip, low topped supercells that day across Central GA. The background conversation taking place is between Dave Marshall, AB3I (Chase 15) and Tim in his patrol vehicle.

When the audio "This is AB3I, I'm calling this a tornado on the ground." (4:00) is heard, Chase 15 was less than 150 yards from the tornado.

Thanks to Tim for use of the video, as Chase 15's video camera broke moments before the wall cloud formed.

Holy shit, I remember the exact day this happened. I made a video of the same storm as it passed over 247 near kathleen, GA.

Wow you guys were REALLY close to my house during this chase! Surprised I didn't hear my siren going off somewhere in there, usually you can hear it on the outskirts of Perry, toward the NE side.
