Tornado Footage

As many of you know I am currently interning at WHNT-TV in Huntsville, Alabama. On Thursday, October 18, 2007, I had the opportunity to cover severe weather alongside with Chief Meteorologist Dan Satterfield. We watched the extremely long line of storms crossover the southeast, including Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and parts of Florida until 2am Friday morning. The following day a friend of mine at State, Jeff Perry (who is also majoring in Broadcast Meteorology), e-mailed me this footage of a tornado in the same line of storms I was watching on radar, which he chased in Starkville, MS that same Thursday evening.

Great footage. I hadn't seen that one yet. I have been a fan of Dan for a long time. I have some cool footage of the tornadoes from last month:
