VIDEO OF IOWA TORNADO

[B Doss]

Neat-o. Devil's advocate here. Can't say what he did was very intelligent. He seemed confused of it's track and in a wait-and-see mode. It appeared weak as it approached, but the damage on the other end of town tells a different story. Could have been a fatal mistake on his part had it turned out any other way. Regardless, non-violent but very interesting video, even moreso to the man holding the camera, it's very personal and the feelings must still be raw.

 

[Melissa Moon]

Wow that was really intense. It just goes to show just how quick the lives of those directly affected are transformed by something like this!

 

[Joel Wright]

Well, I finally got it to work. Basically all I did was a windows media player update, and it worked. Apparently my media player was a bit out of date....

Very impressive footage. I have to agree that it was one of the best I've seen.

 

[Dan Cook]

wow. :shock:

Glad I'm not the only who things the guy(s) were nuts.

My video might have ended up looking like that if I had stayed outside during the Stoughton tornado, but I either wasn't dumb enough or wasn't brave enough. I guess it must be the latter since they're still alive.

 

[Marko Korosec]

Oh man...that's an incredible footage!! :shock: This guy has some brave balls But what a mess...damnit, poor poeple

 

[Andrew Khan]

Well, I can not get the video to work, at all. I tried the direct linking to the video protocol, and I tried the link, with both of my browsers, but it just isn't working.

Crazy footage at all :wink: There's some people in the world without mind...

Hey Andrew, I couldn't get it to go either. I did a windows update, and downloaded the new media player (10) and it worked.

Hope you can get it to work..

Jim Bishop and Mark McGowen shot this video very near to the town of Gilbert, IA, north of Aimes.

Hope the best for all affected by this devastating event.

This a post on behalf of Elise Johnson, Rusty Lord, and Jacob Petersen-Perlman (some non-ST Iowa chasers).

They saw the Woodward tornado and the tornado to the north of Ames.
