Photographer: Martin Lisius
Camera: Sony EX-3 at 1080p30

Summary: My morning forecast target was Vernon, Texas. Upon arriving at about 1:45 pm, a storm was already going up near Vernon (77/64, SE winds). It exhibited a low rain-free base from the start. I tracked it NE into Oklahoma where it produced a tornado at approximately 2:40 pm. Tornado 1 lasted about 37 minutes, passing west of Frederick, and roped out as I stopped to photograph golf ball hail. The second tornado formed just 2 miles to my east at this time, or west of Manitou. I tracked it for at least 12 minutes as it moved NE toward Snyder with red mud swirling at its base. Tornado 3 formed just SE of Snyder, or two miles to my northeast and lasted about 5 minutes from what I could tell. Tornado 1 and 2 offered the best view with a loud, heavy roar...much like a waterfall, as usual. In addition to this video, I was able to capture a few shots on 3D. The day ended with a pretty supercell over Lake Kemp at sunset.

  • Great job, Martin! The backroads southwest and west of FDR were so quiet and empty it was like having the storm all to yourself, wasn't it? I was about a mile east of you.

  • No screaming. No pointing the camera back at yourself. No shaky shots. Martin you need to watch Storm Chasers and learn how to shoot *real* storm video. ;-)
