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.
