Little Sioux Iowa Tornado June 11 2008

I recorded this storm which was moving towards Little Sioux Iowa and the Boy Scout Camp on June 11, 2008. This was recorded just shortly before a tornado hit the camp and killed four Boy Scouts. The conversation in the background is between a local TV Meteorologist and a hired storm chaser. They were describing the storm evolve, aware that it could develop into a tornado. Interesting that the main concern at the time was for a storm in Saunders County Nebraska.

@startiara22  Tornadoes are not killing more and more , mainly of increases in media coverage and weather technology , you do not see the death rates as you did 20 + years ago.

@startiara22 it's not beautiful destruction, it's a tragic incident. These scouts were at National Youth Leadership Training learning how to become better leaders for this country and the world and you say beautiful destruction. You should be ashamed of what you said.

Tornadoes kill more and more only because we are populating in its natural habbitat, but thanks to good forcasting we can limit the death tolls. So yeah they are ruthless monsters and killing machines but they were here first and there is no way to really fight them so you can't help but marvel at the beautiful destruction they leave...even when it does end tradgicly.

Sometimes, I admit. I'm just saying this one was not the one I think as "good".

Tornadoes are in some ways glorious, in the same way lighting is, but a better woed would be aew-inspring,and just so you know is was at little sioux that night in the building that was wiped off the face of God's green earth

How can you call Tornadoes glorious? They kill people. This one killed four scouts which is a lost for all scouts. Tornadoes are not beautiful and glorious. they are a killing force of nature that kill man people and hurt even more every year. If you wen't through one it would scare the living daylights out of you. If you don't have the experience of being in a Tornado then you are lucky and you don't want to go through it.
