As almost everyone knows, David Drummond and Ben Holcomb also had an AMAZING chase last night in the Texas Panhandle! Their video can be viewed above. This tornado crossed the road roughly 200 yards behind them!
Below is Verne Carlson's video from the Garden City, KS area! Verne encountered golfball-sized hail that accumulated in 4" drifts, along with numerous landspouts and gustnadoes!
04.30.09.ww0217_radarThere is a chance for severe weather this afternoon into the evening. Right now a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for northeast Arkansas and west Tennessee extending north into western Kentucky. Trevor Gramling is chasing the cells moving through Arkansas; you can follow along on the Live StreamEarlier there was a report of a tornado touching down in Independence Co. AR.
Additional watches appear likely in Oklahoma and parts of north Texas, where chasers are positioned awaiting initiation. We'll be sure to post updates as they come in - stay tuned!

Theres just amazing film wherever you go! Its amazing how you can see the rotation so well. And all the different shapes tornadoes can take is amazing.
Just thinking now of how many times I said amazing... is that word starting to sound funny to you?

We also chased that day. Check out our website (wolfweather.org) for our video of that chase. At the end of the video you can see something... looks like a tornado to us, but the SPC did not have a report of one in that area... Tell us what you think it was...

OMG!!!!! What an absolutely SPECTACULAR video!! David and Ben.....Ya'll are the BOMB!! Ya'll have had one exceptional season so far, which can be said of all of the chasers, including myself....I hope it continues on. The best tornados are the ones that don't cause damage or casualties....but ya'll came darn close! I am envious but proud for your great chase. Be Safe and Keep It Rocking!!! Tammy

I have to agree with all the comments on Ben & David, They rock, even without the audio. Pretty exciting. Reed's video was so much more entertaining with the audio. You all rock. Be safe 8)
