Here is great video of the Blaine Co, OK tornado, as shot by Don G and co. The tornado touched down at around 2245 UTC, and was on the ground for at least 10 minutes, severely damaging at least one small home. The southward surging cold front was within 10 miles or so of this storm as it was producing the tornado!

wow, very nice video! I can't wait to be able to shoot things like that myself!
Congrats Don, Nicole, and John! Very good.
Congrats guys, must have been something to see...would love to chase one one day!
New outlook out... SPC staying with Moderate risk for now. We'll see if there will be an upgrade tomorrow morning.
yeah, no High risk yet, but I have a 10% risk of a Tornado, and I'm in the Hatched area, 30% chance of Hail, and 30% chance of Wind with the Hatched area again!!
This will definatly be another CRAZY day!!!!
I think this is the perfect time for an AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT CENTERED INVOF THE LOWER MS VALLEY
IS FORECAST THIS PERIOD INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR
WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS AND SEVERAL/POTENTIALLY-SIGNIFICANT
TORNADOES.
with that part of the outlook said i am shocked a high risk hasn't been issued
oh on a seperate note- awesome video- sad because of the house though
Great Vid guys!! Glad to see ya stay safe!!
Nice work guys! did I just see this vid on CNN?!
New day 1 out... still no High risk though, and it actually looks a bit weaker, only 15% chance of hail max now, and the severe areasare slightly smaller.
WOW! Great footage. The spin in the clouds was fantastic, loved hearing that wind!
TORNADO WARNING FOR... WESTERN BOWIE COUNTY IN NORTHEAST TEXAS... THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF NEW BOSTON... NORTHERN MORRIS COUNTY IN NORTHEAST TEXAS... EXTREME SOUTHEASTERN RED RIVER COUNTY IN NORTHEAST TEXAS...
Great Video guys. I got to see my first tonado of the season here in KS. IT WAS GREAT. Didn't have a cam though. stupid thing broke. Guess I know what I am buying with my tax returns.
nice vid guys. can hardly wait for st season here in alberta.
Nice video for sure. Here in Ohio it is 68 going to a high of 71 with tons of rain up to 3-4 in by Tuesday night.
Brother in Bama is on the lookout but I think his action waits until late tonight.
Yes cors, this video can be found on CNN here: http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/weather/2008/03/03/vo.ok.tornado.mxf.cnn
Bah, they won't stop moving it south.
Now the risk is just about for the Gluf states only :(
wow, it's really quite for an outbreak day... Where is everyone?
I think the storms and the people are in a "diurnal" lull right now. Things will get cranking when I go to work 5pm EST.
yeah, you're probably right Gerb, it looks like a lot of the more severe stuff will be later in the day... Lol, 2:00 is taking too long to get here :P
Just waiting till the fun starts.
Man... this one just seems to be falling apart... It was looking pretty nice, but with every new SPC forecast it just keeps getting worse... they've completly dropped the 30% hail chance, and the Hatched area for the Wind, and everything else has been majorly reduced down to a much smaller area then was first predicted.
Oh well, at least it's only march :/
Yeah the problem with this system is that it's not as progressive as typical "Dixie Alley" outbreaks, and is nearly becoming cut-off in the Southern stream. Reading the Jackson, MS NWS discussion last night, he stated similarities with the Feb 5 outbreak, but I see nothing similar to that event. The uncapped warm sector is much smaller and more narrow, and the system is not an open, progressive wave that will result in positive vorticity advection well east of the boundary over the entire warm sector. That's why the fast, progressive systems result in several bands of supercells well east of the main cold front, and these are the typical southern U.S. outbreaks. Based on this, we decided not to chase southeast AR and northern LA. I could definitely see tornadoes tonight across MS as the main wave begins to lift northeast, although not the typical Dixie Alley tornado outbreak as mentioned in the Jackson NWS discussion.
Hopefully we'll get some snow here in Norman! If not we may have to drive east to get some series snowfall rates tonight.
Gee it's 71 here and really windy. saw a few leave tornadoes.

Cool!! I would love to be a meteroligist or if I am lucky a tornado chaser like u guys!! I would love that! I love this website and their was a good posibility of tornadoes in south texas. we were in a severe weather watch and I think a tornado watch.
Wow awesome video!
Next time could one of you stand in front of the camera and give a big cheesy thumbs up in front of the tornado? That would make my day!
ok, can someone explain this to me? right now, the Weather.com radar is showing that the cold front is about at Memphis TN, but a Special weather statment was just released saying this;

...SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE AFTER MIDNIGHT...
A STRONG STORM SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT WILL BRING THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THE SQUALL LINE IS FORECAST TO REACH THE TENNESSEE RIVER SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...THEN EXTEND ALONG INTERSTATE 65 CORRIDOR...BETWEEN 2 AM AND 4 AM...AND ONTO THE PLATEAU BETWEEN 5 AM AND 7 AM. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE TORNADO THREAT AT THIS TIME APPEARS WEAK...ISOLATED TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
I am confused because if the cold front keeps it's current course, and the weather behaves like it usually does, the front will move through about 10PM-midnight. how then will sever weather develop in the middle of a rain mass, or behind the cold front?
Great video guys! Not a bad start to the chasing season, eh? ;) Hopefully we all have successful chase season as well.
I love how the U2 Song Beautiful Day is playing on the radio while the tornado is tearing it up outside.
Bah, so much for a Moderate risk... I've never seen something fall apart like that.. oh well, there's always next time
Nice video, Don! Those stills your wife took were amazing too!! Great Job.
reed, we got 4 inches of snow yesterday in 3 hours. you can have it lol.
