Your Best Tornado Shot of 2008

[Michael O'Keeffe]

The last few threads have been awesome with everyone showing off their best structure and lightning shots, well how about everyone's best tornado shot(s) of 2008?

Mine personally is of the needle tornado south of Collyer, KS on May 22, though my dad took it we share copyright with pics and video so we consider it "our" picture. He had great perspective with the tornado in background and Michael Carlson shooting stills in the foreground.

Hey Mike, Great Pic.


I took these on the same day a little farther northwest by Hoxie.

Me running after it so I can rope it and put it in my pocket. lol

Hard to say which of these two is my fave as they both took the top 2 spots for best tornado photos I have taken. I think I would lean toward the May 23 Quinter tornado photo, but I took over a dozen shots of the May 22 tornado which was my first real chance to shoot a pretty tornado.

I'm more of a video person so I don't have a ton of tornado shots from this year, but like this one near Grainfield, KS.

May 22 2008 in western Kansas.

I only managed one photogenic tornado this year (out of a plethera of tornado-warned cells) near Buffalo/Selma, OK.

Got a nice rope-out. This tornado was nearly stationary and even moved a hair west. See if you can identify the same trees in both pics.

May 24 was my only payoff for the year. Here are a few stills from my dash cam.

 

[Terry Tyler]

only one i got so far this year, probably wasnt on the ground in this picture but it was plenty of times during its life so ill call it a tornado shot...

i took this photo near centerville, mississippi east of saltillo on may, 8 2008...this is the same storm that came through downtown tupelo, and damaged that MDOT facility near the furniture market and continued near marietta...

You more than make it up for it in all your other pictures.

Dispite having an excellent year in terms of tornadoes I didn't do a very good job of photographing them. All the images below a video captures. They are better than my pictures.
