This twister killed two people, injured around 30 others, and damaged roughly 60 homes. It's opposing appearance is misleading, though: it was classified as F2. The huge flash at the end of the clip is not lightning, but a transformer exploding!

  • ah ye ole silent film ye is

  • thats a big tornado there

  • Oh wow. I remember this. The tornado came down Greenwell Springs Rd and jumped, went through our pasture and took out our back fence at our house. We couldn't believe it took out the fence but didn't do an iota of damage to our house.

  • the tornado hit my dads car he survived he said he saw lots of leave and a car hood

  • I remember this. I was 12 at the time and living in Mobile,AL. I remember seeing thsi on the evening news that night because the weather is Mobile had been especially windy with on and off squall lines and thunderstorms that day. I think the weather in The SE that day was generally severe in anyone recalls as well.
