The video can be found under the "Eyewitness Video" section. Thank you!!
Here is the video of supercells we intercepted on March 17, 2008 in the Texas Hill Country. The first supercell shown in the video was shot just south of Abilene, and was a short-lived LP that exhibited mid-level rotation but "split" to death shortly thereafter. Note the mid-level funnel between the storm splits featured near the beginning of the video.
The second supercell we intercepted further south just west of Coleman, TX. This storm was tornado warned near and just after sunset, and produced a ground-scraping wall cloud and a few "funnels". We thought this storm was going to produce, but the good low-level shear never made it back west in time.
The pictures below show the intense flash flooding that occurred in Sulphur National Park in Southeast Oklahoma, shot by storm chaser Jason Young. Given that the shear failed to materialize on Monday or Tuesday, flash flooding was the main threat to life and property during both severe weather outbreaks.

nice vid reed! thats some serious flooding right there jason!
nice footage. I think your gonna be in for some major stuff this season if the trend continues......
Just saw a supercell rolling in into the cookeville, TN area! Very nice! Low base, rapid rotation! But that was it, it was moving very fast... The rain is gone now and no tornados... :(
Very nice vid Reed, too bad it didn't produce for you.
That's some insane flooding there Jason!
Great video and great pics! Too bad this storm swung south, we could use some heavy rain and rotation up here...
Thank's , the park flooded pretty.
Nice footage even though no tornado manifested. Could you guys hear the thunder where you were standing? I didn't hear any on the video.
Hey Reed, you have my vote. Hope you win it.
