Video taken from near Coldwater up towards St. John on May 5. 4 different tornadoes: 2 cone tornadoes at the same time, a very big cone/wedge, and a rope. While chasing this day we were driving through the damage from the day before.

  • The actual tornado is near Protection.

  • I passed near Protection earlier in the day as their tornado sirens were going off, but I did not see that first tornado in my video till after I was NE of Greensburg (in the far NE corner of Kiowa county). The last 2 tornadoes were near Macksville, KS.

  • my eyes decieve me that's a double tornado?

  • Its a double in my book. Not an easy score either.

  • That was amazing to get any video with how much wind (plus the car's speed) and how bumpy even some of the blacktop roads could be (I'm guessing the blacktop was US 281 between 50 and Great Bend). It was nice to get a storm with nothing to the south.

  • The blacktop road was Dilwyn road south of highway 50. It is the next north-south paved road west of 281. It actually had road blocks on it, but i didnt want to turn around (and other roads were very muddy there). I figure if we took it slow we be alright. About 5 cars started following us when we did that. Powerlines were everywhere, it was bad. I have a steady camera hand, but I had to have my friend film for me this day because of how dangerous the roads were this day (paved or dirt/mud).
