Here's another tornado from a different cell, up in NW Alabama

Jesus, look at this one, from Cordova Al (might be the same cell as the Thornhill/Haleyville from above)
amazing multiple vortex tornado
Ringgold Ga
different view of Arab tornado
tuscaloosa, good footage from farther away. Man, that storm was moving fast
Blountsville AL
The amount of footage from so many different cells, with so few chasers out, (relative to the alley) is remarkable

Symple, I had no idea you were a weather fanatic/buff. Is it just an interest or are you planning to make a career out of it?
just an interest. Fascinated by severe weather.
Years ago I used to do some amateur chasing (driving around looking up while listening to weather bulletins, lol) while stationed in Oklahoma. Never saw any tornadoes, but got to see some badass rotating supercells. Usually chased in the west-central part of the state because I had a FWB that let me stay at her house in Weatherford instead of driving all the way back down to Lawton.
I wish I could make it a career. I'd love to drive for a dedicated team like TVN or Twistex. I'll probably take a month (march/april/may) off and spend it chasing someday. Would be too much fun
Anybody know how much these guys make licensing their videos? I bet some people made a lot of money on Wednesday
For any Stormchasers fans, Sean and the TIV were present for Wednesday's event, as was Twistex. They're gonna have to do like 4 shows on that day alone, if not more...
from Virginia on the 27th
Do it in May. Statistically speaking that's your best month for tornadoes.
Wow

Manny and Symple, what are the most impressive tornadoes or tornado footage that you've ever seen?
other than yesterday....hmmm
Those jump to the top of my head
Oh, and this one too
I'll have to look at those vids after I get home from work, symple, but thanks for linking them. I think I've seen most/all of them but they definitely don't get old to watch.
Update on the outbreak: We have our first EF5 tornado in the United States since 2008 if the preliminary rating stands. The Mississippi tornado that hit the Smithville area has now been assigned the EF5 rating.
"13 deaths – Dozens of newly constructed two-story, brick homes were leveled and trees were debarked. Five people are reported as missing. Rating is preliminary.[34] Damage assessments have determined that 150 homes, 14 businesses and 2 churches were destroyed by the tornado in Smithville."
Yeah, I saw that too. From the looks of the damage elsewhere, it may not end up being the only EF5
