Wright, WY tornado video

[Sam Sagnella]

I wasn't aware any video existed of the Wright tornado until earlier today when I stumbled across this dashcam video from the local sheriff.

Click the box that says "video" (lol).

I don't think this has been posted on ST yet, but I apologize if it has.

EDIT--->Just a quick refresher on the tornado details:

Very cool, Sam! I wasn't aware of that video either. When I heard about that tornado on August 12th I thought it was gonna go down as the most destructive of the year...boy was I wrong!
