Tornado in Pisgah, AL 4/27/2011

Please excuse my dad for being a hillbilly :) This is him and I riding out the second tornado at 2 or 3 P.M. during the barrage of storms that hit north Alabama on April 27, 2011. He lives in a mobile home with no storm shelter, and the first tornado (hitting around 7 A.M. that morning) shook the house a lot and scared us pretty badly, so though it may not have been the wisest choice, we both felt safer riding number 2 out in his work truck. In the video, we are sitting in our neighbor's yard next to one of his trailers. We chose this spot because it was relatively clear of trees and debris, and because there was a large ditch behind us if we needed to bail. The newscasters were describing this as a "rain-clouded" tornado, which is usually harder to see than the typical funnel-cloud. Notice how the chicken-houses in front of us become invisible as the storm moves through them. Also, though I didn't manage to get it on camera, the trailer beside us get's blown forward by about 3-4 feet as soon as the storm hits, knocking it off it's foundation. Lastly, notice the tree behind the trailer, and how much it is bent by the wind.
