In the first image we animated two video snapshots just so that you can see the movement of the tornado. We were so close that it took up the width of the lens, thereby making it impossible to visualize effectlively by snapshot alone. In both frames, the tornado takes up the left half of the snapshots.
     The second image is of the tornado as it was crossing highway 77. It sure didn't seem to bother motorists too much, note the vehicles moving towards the tornado and towards our position. The tornado takes up the right half in this image.
     The next three images are of the tornado spotted by most citizens near Yutan. By coincidence we happened to capture this one as it began to rope out after the first one cleared our position. The third image highlights the tornado which is shrouded by a low deck of clouds. This tornado was also captured by another civilian on its east side, go to east images. Note the car headed into the tornados vicinity. Another chaser perhaps? Highly doubtful.
