This video was shot as the tornado passed 1/2 mile from South Moore High School. The noise is amazing. And the damage shots at the tail end are unbelievable.

:eek:

Thanks for adding this. Someone earlier today (may have been Crazy) suggested filling the other thread discussing the outbreak the last several days with info for future reference.

I thought that since that is a multi-day outbreak that maybe there ought to be a singular thread detailing and archiving information on the Moore tornado itself.

So please keep adding info, data, radar shots, videos, etc. !!!

I don't know if this vid has been posted, but near the end you see a duck caught in the outer circulation trying to fly through it.

Girl I went to school with who is now a producer posted this on her facebook today:

I've been covering tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma for the last 40 hours straight on no sleep. In hour 32 or so we were interviewing Barbara Garcia whose home and neighborhood were destroyed around her. As she told us the story of losing her dog in the storm all I could think about was my overwhelming fear that Conner will get lost in an earthquake. That's when I spotted him. "Hey Pupppy!"

I did some research, and I was wrong in saying that Moore was the only place to be hit with 2 EF-5 tornadoes, Tanner Alabama was hit by 2 EF-5s in the 1974 superoutbreak and thats the only 2 to hit that town that I know of
