TornadoVideos.net storm chasers Reed Timmer and Joel Taylor captured this video of the EIlis Co., OK tornado, just south of Arnet...We were
within 50 yards of this violent tornado!! and had to back up at the
last second to avoid being hit by the debris cloud (we were actually within the
circulation!). My cell phone fell out onto the road, and was hit by
the tornado...it's probably still airborne.

Meanwhile, a DAMAGING
tornado moved through Greensburg, KS...A VERY bad situation. Our storm chasing friends from Anvil Crawler Media reported that the entire town of
Greensburg was severely damaged. This is a very sad situation, as
there were likely many fatalities. The tornado was reported to be over a mile wide at times, with up to 3 tornadoes on the ground at the same time!

Update: The tornado destroyed most of Greensburg, KS, killing one person and injuring 50. Stay tuned for more.
