KFOR Live Coverage: May 3, 1999 F5 Tornado in Bridge Creek - Moore, Oklahoma rockstarman31 2024-09-30 | KFOR Channel 4's live coverage on the May 3, 1999 Bridge Creek - Moore, Oklahoma F5 Tornado. This version is easily better than the one already available on YouTube.I would like to note even though it has been said many times, DO NOT SEEK SHELTER UNDER AN OVERPASS!!! This tornado has killed people that were sheltering under overpasses. In this video, it may be said that sheltering under an overpass is a good idea even though it is not.Most likely, this video is probably going to be the best version available to the public unless KFOR releases the full coverage, which is very unlikely. There may be some glitches/color bleed in this video but other than that, it's the best version available so far.Note: This is not the YouTube copy modified and restored. This is a higher quality copy I found around Mid-September which explains the better colors and no audio glitches.
Secrets of the Tornado (1998) rockstarman31 2024-09-26 | A lesser known production by Thomas P. Grazulis. Secrets of the Tornado will show you how to make models of any size. Even complex multiple vortex tornadoes can be created with just cardboard or plywood, tubes, hair driers, a window fan or a vacuum cleaner, and a few other odds and ends.In the spirit of Tornado Video Classics, you'll witness dozens of incredible tornadoes that can be seen nowhere else. See the unbelievable raw footage from the "dillocam," a heavily weighted camera placed, for the first time, directly in the path of a major tornado. And you'll see how laboratory "storms" relate to actual tornado formation...even if you never build a model.
