Tornadoes and Very High Winds/Rain/Lightning 5/23/08

Chase day two was the least impressive chase day, and yet still we saw several tornadoes and put ourselves in ANOTHER near death situation (at least I thought so).

It was midnight and the radio was saying "If you are in Hutchinson Kansas, get under ground - a tornado is headed your way!" And what do we do? We drive into Hutchinson! The sirens were blaring and we realized a little later that we probably made a big mistake. We hid in a car wash just as the meso passed over and the winds picked up to 60-70mph. I was shaking so hard I could barely film.

Its scary when there's a tornado warning at night cause you can't see it or any debris to know where it is. I realise you all had to find shelter, but am I wrong to say that if there was a tornado that the car wash could have potentially acted like a wind tunnel?

@beatleman69 I wasn't driving - haha. If i had been, I would have tried to get in a more secure place.

I think the bird decided to end its own life...

My dog just heard these sirens at the end of the video and started barking.
