May 21-26 2008 Video Report

I'm currently working on the video for our mega chase-cation. I have 12 tapes of footage to go through (Almost 11 hours of video!) so it's not here yet, but once I get it finalized I'll update this post with the youtube. For now though, I'll share this interesting find:

That's an HD video grab of one of Thursday's dual tornadoes. Some of the best video of the chase came from this guy. During analysis of the dust swirl I came across this little detail:

Obviously it's harder to see through a sequence of pictures, but on the video you can see a pair of trees uprooted and tossed out of view. It's things like this that make me want an HD camera of my own.

Another fun fact: The 24th was my birthday, so I had hoped to get a nice birthday tornado. Nature had a different idea however, as I got tornadoes the day before and after, but a nice blue sky bust on my birthday.
