    You must have missed DBrunk01's first post. That was hilarious.

    Those goofy tornado chasers in that tank got inside the funnel and somehow didn't get sucked up and thrown a couple of miles. This is just a handheld camera, but apparently they got the whole event in HD IMAX so I guess we'll be seeing that next season.

    Intense.

    Several tornadoes on ground around OKC. Power flashes due to severe wind and tornado damage. Moore could be struck again.

    I-40 and I-240 at a standstill. People leaving city headed straight into a tornado. Flipped cars have made both interstates parking lots. A very dangerous situation the number of tornadoes in the area.

    There is outstanding coverage on the weather channel. Mike Bettis' tornado chase vehicle was flipped and totaled. No major injuries but they are heading to the hospital.

    SNAP! That was awesome/insane. The look of terror on dudes face probably having never been in a tornado while being a "storm chaser" just shows you how intense and terrifying a tornado truly is. I've been through 2, and they were MAYBE close to F1 status, NOTHING like what OK is seeing.

    Many thoughts and prayers. Hook 'Em is praying for you guys.
