Caught on Tape: Storm Chasers Drive into Tornado

Post by jfko6 » Thu Jun 12, 2008 8:51 pm

Raw Video(NBC) -- Amazing video this morning from inside a tornado in western Iowa.
This is video shot from inside of a vehicle that literally drove into a tornado in Moorhead Wednesday night.
The crew was filming for an upcoming TV show about storm chasing and happened into the storm.
The photographer said the same tornado went through a boy scout camp just moments earlier killing at least four people and injuring around 40 others.

The video of the guys in the van is pretty graphic...but what happened at the Boy Scout camp was so much worse. There's not much you can do when you have 20 seconds worth of warning before your camp is wiped out by a tornado.

But at least they had their heads together after the disaster to start taking care of themselves before the first responders got there.
