Tornado touching down - Wichita Co, TX - April 7, 2008

Video of a tornado warned supercell in Wichita County, TX on April 7, 2008, including a funnel cloud that would eventually become a confirmed tornado. Unfortunately, the lack of bridges across the Red River prevented us from getting any closer...and we watched in agony as the tornado became wrapped in rain. Check out TornadoVideos.net for extreme tornado footage, our live chase stream, and breaking weather news.

Dude your video didn't win!Are some idiots afraid of the Emergency Alert System? The one that goes"EGHHHHHHH!" Huh? Well I voted for your INTENSE videos(awesome btw thanks)but a sad video of animals fighting wins? I mean general public come on! These people risk their lives to entertain us and we should take a few minutes to vote!

Thanks!!!! Although the Africa safari video definitely deserved it.

Hopefully we'll get some better videos for you from this year.  It's been one of those years so far, but we expect it will get going in late April into May.

Thank god it missed us. My friend out in the country had her barn hit by a small tornado that day. It didn't actually touch down in the city limits. Legend has it, that Electra, TX used to have so many tornadoes that a Native American Shaman came in & blessed the town to make them go around. Good for me but bad for the storm chasers haha! I do have great respect for you & love watching your tv show & videos. I just hope your WORK doesn't bring you around here again! :-P

I live in Electra. I was cooking dinner when something in my gut told me to turn off the stove & go outside onto the back porch. I stood up on a bench & looked to the west & I saw a funnel hanging down out of the sky. I ran in the house told my husband to grab a bag & get all the photo albums asap & I grabbed my son & our pest & we hauled *** to my aunt's house. We were all in the "fraidy hole" before the sirens went off. There were 3 areas of circulation overhead, U could see clear sky in them!

Your camera person sucked. Lousy angles, always looking at the wrong thing--just awful to look at.

Hey americansoldier, get "Hooked On Ponics" okay douchebag? Let me guess you never been called a douchbag before well guess what today is your lucky day doofy., oh that isn't a tornado warning issued, thats the air rade sirens warning everyone on planet earth that your mother opened up her legs and let out the saber tooth crotch crickets again.

Red River is definetly a tuff area to chase. Not very chaser friendly. Too many roads that end up being cut off because of the river. The Big Country section of Texas is another place that is tricky when it comes to getting close to the tornado. Very long stretches without intersections to make a turn to the storm. Aggrivating. I know what you were going thru, trying to get closer to this storm.
