[ChrisWilburn]

Yeah I have to agree with you. This is Interstate 44 and it was really the only road to get in good position. It sucks I had all those semis pass off and on into the video. Oh well, that is how storm chasing is at times............the dang roads can get you............Chris

great footage... Did the tornado look more violent when it cycled from wedge to stovepipe?

[ChrisWilburn]

I actually didn't see it cycle from a wedge to a stovepipe. The storm became rain wrapped then next time I saw it was the stovepipe. The stovepipe appeared to be very tightly wound up and violent looking at it on video.

@sharicody I am very sorry to hear that your aunt was killed in this storm

WOW !!what a tornado ty for sharing

[sharicody]

In order to understand this you will have to read my first post.

She was in ICU for a few months and then released. She is still unable to walk unassisted. She remember everything. I just wanted to share the stories of 3 of the bravest women that I know, and the story of a true hero. In Loving Memory LINDA CHRISTINE MATHIS. We love you.

when she got to the hospital she had so much chat embeded in her that it looked like she had chicken pox. She had to have numerous stitched, and was released so soon only to attend the funeral. My other aunt, anna richardson, was at home a block away, and was thrown from her house as well, she was thrown about 75 yards. and sustained numerous injuries. both arms, both legs broke, her ankles, 5 broken bones in her back as well as numerous other injuries.

when the storm destroyed the house, Linda was sucked out and hit by a telephone pole. My grandma was thrown fram the house but not far, and when the house was destroyed the carpet from my grandma's living room came up and wrapped around her 9 times, and served as a giant bandaid, and kept her from bleeding out. She was hit in the head with a piece of styrofoam and knocked out, and doesnt remember much.

i just wanted all of yo to know that this is the tornado that killed my aunt and put 2 of my family members in ICU. What i want everyone to know is that my aunt, Linda Mathis is a true hero. She gave her life to save my grandmothers. During every storm my aunt would go and sit with my grandma, when the sirens went off, she put my grandma in a closet and put pillows and blankets over her, and then she laid on top of her.

I'd like to thank you for not putting some crappy music in, or the usual stupid behavior I'm used to seeing from others.
