Location: Highway 77 one mile north of Highway 51 looking west

This shot was taken while we were on Highway 77 one mile north of Highway 51 and 3 miles south of Orlando, Ok. If you look in the center of the screen and just above the trees you can see the tornado. It is there for only a few seconds then gone. Now for all the want to be stormchasers, (Im not being smart) Please Please don't stand on top of your cars or stand in the bed of your trucks. I have been to several storm spotter schools and it has always been said, The most dangerous part of storm spotting or chasing is not the tornado or hail, it is the lightening. So please be very carefull while out and always leave yourself a way out. Enjoy nature at its finest!

You are so right in what you said about standing in the back of trucks and on top of cars. People do not realize that they can be five miles away from a storm and still get hit. Would love to see more of your videos.
