CHASER HIT BY TORNADO - Oklahoma Nightmare |

Tornado U-Turns into chaser forcing him into path of another giant tornado.
For licensing contact hankschyma@yahoo.com Cooperton, Oklahoma 4-13-12. I intercepted 3 tornadoes on this day all produced by the same high precipitation supercell that began near Altus Oklahoma and tracked ENE. The first tornado I intercepted was on the muddy road network on the west side of Tom Steed Reservoir. It was a barely visible rain wrapped drill. The sun was going down and the supercell was approaching the Wichita Mountains were all Easterly roads ended. Chasers had 2 choices. 1, Meet the storm on the other side of the mountains after dark. Or 2, go into the bear cage for a final daylight stand. Those of us that chose option 2 were rewarded with brown underwear. Music: "Lanugo" by Southern Backtones "Little Ghost" by Southern Backtones |
