I gotta say that after having lived through 2 tornadoes there's no freakin way I'd be taking video if a monster like that moving anywhere near me.. I'd be far too busy shitting my pants to even think of youtube videos.. First one I was under a bridge in the middle of nowhere in Illinois hitch hiking with a friend... It went straight down the freeway a ways, went right over us, but lightning stuck the guard rail below us which made me jump, slam my head into the concrete right above me..kind of like a cartoon with my head sticking through the top except that never quite happened.. We didn't even know it was a tornado till the next morning. Someone pointed towards the freeway after we went to the Dennys a ways off from the highway.. Signs ripped up, trucks thrown around..blah blah blah. We just thought it was a really bad storm and went to sleep after it passed over us.. It did rip the tarp we were trying to hang onto out of our hands like it was being sucked out of a space ship into the vacuum of space like the movies.. I think that's when we started to think, This might get bad! LOL
