Yazoo, MS Long Track Tornado...


I'll have a full chase summary up tomorrow from the 2/24/10 storm chase... We saw the black mass which was the Yazoo, MS tornado right in front of us... We didn't see the actual tornado though! Missed it by about 30-60 secs... Thank God, because I honestly didn't know that black mass was a nearly mile wide killer long track tornado... Of course I knew it was close but it's so hard to see HP supercells in the Deep South...

In the meantime, here is video from the Yazoo, MS long track tornado (from about Tallulah, LA to Ackerman, MS)... We were about 30-60 secs behind fellow storm chasers Jeff Piotrowski and Terry Schenk (who shot this video)... They were right in front of the black mass! About half way in you can see us help remove trees and other debris! Thanks to both Jeff and Terry for helping us get through the nearly mile long debris trail... Both are very nice/cool guys! My prayers go out to everyone affect by the Yazoo, MS tornado and all the other tornadoes which occurred during this historic outbreak!
