2013 El Reno Tornado

Here is some video I shot on the tail end of the El Reno storm chase. I stayed at a very safe distance – as you can tell from the video – and only caught a couple of glimpses of the monster tornado.

After listening to radio reports and storm spotter chatter, I decided to err on the side of safety. So after a quick trip up the road to get a quick peek, I turned tail and headed south to shoot some video.
