Nice man, mid April I'll be home bound with the wifey since she'll be close to her due date. If we get a tornado here in western OK you'll have to hit me up. We had one last year that rolled right around us and touched down in the country north of us.

Everyone in our office and the office next door ran outside to check it out. I took a bunch of pictures hoping I might get something out of this world.

You can see where the wall clouds kept forming and trying to pull everything together. You can also see how it went to light to dark fairly quickly. The temp also dropped about 20 degrees in 10 minutes. These were shot from my cell so their not great. I also got hit by a piece of hail about the size of a quarter right in the noggin. No fun.

And here are a couple pics from the day I was moving into Oklahoma. What a nice welcome.

I took those while driving with a full load of stuff in my pickup. My wife told me to quit taking pictures and speed up! So I bumped it up to about 85mph and passed this minivan. As we passed them I told Becca we should point at the clouds and act like we were freaking out! Lol their reaction was priceless.

Nice dude, those are some cool pictures. Would upload some video i got but I'm at work and don't have them with me. Got some good shots of a tornado that struck Nebraska in early April. Good F1, possibly F2. This was the first time taking the Xterra out storm chasing and just wanted to note that I was impressed. With it being so top heavy, I had little sway at all driving into winds in excess of 70mph. Great storm interceptor...

Figured I would give a warning to those who choose to pass over it in case it bothers people.

They hooked them to the other 2 fingers...

I was topping a tree.. We had a chain around the top.. Way too much tension on the line.. when the saw cut about half way through the tree.. The top snapped and I lost control of the saw and it came down on the top of my hand...

Ok, I spent the day on a dairy that a Tornado had went through. Losses were sustained, I won't go into it. But I did want to post up a couple pics of how extreme the wind can be in a tornado. This one was rated at an F3.

This is JUST the frame left on a trailer, and it has been completely twisted over and set back on all four wheels.
