Here is video from TornadoVideos.net Stream 3 yesterday (Don and Nicole Guiliano, Dave Demko, and John Esterheld), from the storm in Northwest Kansas that produced several amazing tornadoes.  They were within 1/2 mile of a large cone, and also documented a photogenic elephant trunk.  We were on a storm further south, and saw 3-4 tornadoes, and were actually inside a large tornadic circulation with 100 mph winds.  The roof of a barn was ripped off about 1/4 mile from our location - unfortunately my hand held cam missed this, but our dashboard camera caught everything (you can see it on Storm Chasers on Discovery this fall!)  I'd post it if it was on my camcorder..

Today looks even more interesting than yesterday for tornadoes, with more backed 850 mb flow which will be even more favorable for these northerly storm motions.  We're targeting an area just east of Garden City/Dodge City today...  We're always working out bugs with the live streaming system, so things should run much more smoothly.
