Here is some video I shot mainly just after (some before) the massive 1.75 miles wide EF-4 tornado passed right in front of us as it was about to hit Yazoo City, MS... The track is up to 149 miles and "may" push 190 miles by the time it's all said and done! That's just crazy as it is already ranked right up there with some of the longest track tornadoes of all time! The 1925 Tri-State tornado holds the record for the longest continuous tornado track of 219 miles! We never saw the condensation funnel, just a black mass moving directly in front of us! It was completely rain wrapped and we had little to no visibility on highway 3 heading north towards Yazoo City... Again, we honestly didn't know it was the monster tornado until we hit the damage path about 30-60 secs after this black mass crossed the road... I think the video will pretty much speak for itself... I'll will warn you that there is one cuss word in the video...
