This must have been the beginnings of the monster wedge tornado that passed by Dresden, KS and hit our farm located 5 miles west and 1/2 north of Jennings, KS. It destroyed several outbuildings and the big barn on our farm and downed power lines on the Bohemian Hall Road. Those power lines had just been completed a couple months ago from the devastating ice and wind storm we experienced last year!!

Good job of adding an overlay on the chase videos adding the chaser name. I like it. I saw a discussion about media taking these videos without permission or paying for them. This should cut that out hopefully.
This was a huge wedge tornado. It seemed like it stayed on the ground forever. Great capture and thank you for taking us along with you.

The video grab is nicely done.
The Thursday twister was a monster wedge tornado that I chased all the way north to Selden KS - when all of my road options north came to an abrupt end. The sky boiled black; the air was sultry. It had a groud speed of nearly SIXTY miles an hour - I could only go 45 on a farm access road along with three other chasers. I got a few good photos of it, but photos and videos always seem to lose some of the more surreal aspects that exist by being there. By all means enjoy this video and thank those guys that were there filming. But to be there, is to take your life in your own hands. I thank God from the bottom to the top of my heart that he protected me and allowed me to see and understand only one awesome aspect of all of His creation.
