i just voted
btw what do you win??
Where is my little sticker that shows I voted? lol
I voted for you guys, unfortunately I don't think you have a shot against the "don't tase me bro" video.
Cool! I'll make sure to vote for you guys. The other videos up for noms are good ones though, so you'll have some tough competition...
Yup. "Don't tase me bro" is going to be the frontrunner, although the Kruger video is absolutely awesome (I think it has more views than anything else on Youtube except for music and star-related videos). The lightning strike is neat but VERY poorly cut, the fires video is important but goes on too long, and the one from Burma won't ring with all the U.S. viewers who don't know the details.
Personally, I'd have preferred the Manitoba one to be put up against these videos ... Ellis was tremendous footage but Manitoba was a lot nicer to filming purposes and still just as intense.
you got my vote!
good luck guys...
I just voted. Hope ya win!
you got my vote too!!!!
I love the Ellis co, OK tornado footage! EXTREME!
Watched them all...And heres my review and vote.(I'm Bored...although that supercell in SE OK is lookin good 70-75g2g right now.)
The first video The Boy getting tazered: Overly dramatic and drawn out...To me it was uncalled for. Audio isnt the best...Cant understand alot of his yelling.
The Burma Protest/Shooting: Long and drawn out, and i dont know there Language, which im not sure which Language it is.
The Battle at Krueger: Very awesome video, although the tourist almost ruin it by being loud at the begining of the video. This is just Nature, and natural occurence. And a Rare glimpse of Nature and Naturality.
Incredible Tornado Footage: Awesome Video...Action from the begining to end, and also Nature At its finest. Very cool, up close with a giant tube.
Upclose Lightning: Short Clip...Not much action, but tons of Voltage, while a fan of lightning photography, Thats just to close, and Poor video quality.
Witch Fire: The only thing "Cool" about this video was the Orange Glow to the sky. Other than that Fires arent the most exciting things to watch.
SO....my vote: Incredible Tornado Footage... Because i Love weather...and storms. And Because it was most action packed. Plus Mr. Timmer filmed it.
On a side not, we can all vote 1 time per day. So Vote everyday till then! I would suggest keeping this blog at the top during Non Severe days until voting is over.
I voted... it feels good to be able to do that hehe.
If yall are done with your video..... A very interesting situation has developed in the past 25 minutes.

I dont have a account on Stormtrack...but someone should bring this up over there. See if you can get more votes...i personally believe the only competitor is "The battle at Krueger"
got mine vote Reed. What do ya'll think of today's outlook?
I voted for you guys.
The lightning strike was good but if he keep the camera still when the lightning hit that woulda been a sick video.
I just voted!! Good luck Reed, I hope you win!
i am a voting fool- i voted for your video 10 times reed- it was extreme- im going to make sure you win and vote 3-4 times per hour- not because i am biased torwards the others cause i viewed them all- but who else but you would get that close to a violently rotating tornado at that close range
Are the Videos that are on the top of the list in first place? Because that means you guys just went from first to last.
No it looks like they rotate at random..
Thanks for the votes!
Today looks interesting in northwest OK near the KS border. Could be a good cold core chase. It's too bad the warm sector crapped out like it did..
Monday looks like an outbreak now!
My vote is in also, that was the video that led me to this web site!
Got my vote.
"oh no those are structures oh no" lol
You got my vote. Sure hope you all win. Monday looks like the day to chase storms at this point. Not much going on with the storms today....So far anyway....
Voted! Best of luck...
This video should have been placed in the "instructional" category.
As in...THAT'S HOW YOU STORM CHASE, RIGHT THERE!
M.D. 400 out for nw. nc oklahoma.
how come they keep moving the Slight risk farther south out here? from what I'm seeing, we still have a decent chance for severe storms where I am.
Well I just voted HOPE YOU WIN!!!
Storm's starting in the Woodward , OKla, area.( out of risk area ) . I am not in risk area , but dew in 50's and clear sky's . LOL I can hope
As far as I'm concerned, the slight risk area keeps shifting farther and farther south, and now it includes me, although I am on the edge of it.
The latest MD is saying that a hail and damaging wind threat is developing over nowrthwestern and west central Oklahoma. Convection is moving out of the TX panjandle and there are already a few small thunderstorms popping up near Woodward. Whats up with all the convection froming west and out of the SPC outlook. They are also saying that a severe thunderstorm watch may be needed soon. I believe this area of convection will intenify further as it moves into a slightly more unstable environment, with the best chances across the NE half of Oklahoma.
Early next week is looking more and more interesting to say the least. Severe weather and heavy rain is becomming an increasing threat!
looks like things are starting! 2 cells in AR that look pretty good
that secound one looks veeeeerrry strong!
Tornado damage or storm damage of some sort is being reported on the Georgia Dome tonight, and the storm that seems to have done it is still tornadic close to Atlanta.

I voted for you guys Reed! Good luck, hope you win.
The video that lead me to TV.net was when I watched the Manchester Wedge video of 2003 back in December of 2006.
Also, Just for the record, I don't know if anyones noticed but, I think Alberta is in for an early storm season. We had thunderstorms in the north on Tuesday(which is very unsual because its so early in the year, and because its cold in the north from the arctic air. And storms in the south.(only unsual because it's early in the year.)
I'm going to be keeping an eye on this.
Really Kenny? Thunderstorms in Alberta already ?!
Congrats on the nomination! You guys deserve it! With the voting power of your ever growing fan base, you might have to plan a trip to NYC! I'm gonna vote as many times as I can and have already voted a bunch! Good Luck!!
Guess it doesn't matter how many times you vote, I just keep going back and voting too! I watch it again EVERY time I vote! It is an INCREDIBLE video!
