1997-05-27 Jarrell, TX F5 Tornado by Wayne Persky *1080p60*

It's the video seen in practically every Jarrell documentary, now remastered in 1080p60. Thank you Mr. Persky for sending me this copy for transfer. Deinterlaced to 60fps, and upscaled to HD to retain 60fps. Update: Mr. Persky’s account of the day via email correspondence: “We had a corn processing plant on our farm (we delivered food corn to chip and tortilla plants in Austin), located on a hill, and the weather was so sultry and threatening that day that we could sense that something was probably going to happen. So we stepped out to check the weather now and then, and we noticed the tornado when it was still a rope, a few miles north of Jarrell. Since I was only about a quarter-mile from home, I drove home, got my video camera, and drove back. When I got back, I drove out to the public road where I could get a clear view, but the tornado had disappeared. I decided to go back to work, but then it suddenly reappeared, in a much bigger form, south of where we last saw it. So I drove back out to the public road, and parked next to one of our cornfields. I got out and leaned against the pickup so I could get a steadier shot, because the wind was blowing and making it difficult to stay steady. After I started taping, now and then I could hear a big hailstone hitting the pickup, but I kept on taping, hoping that one wouldn't hit me, because they were big enough that one would probably have knocked me out cold, if it hit me in the head. I don't remember how long the session lasted, because the tornado seemed to last forever. At the time, I didn't realize it was at Jarrell, I thought it was farther away. The pickup wound up with about 1/2 dozen big dents in the hood and on top of the cab, but fortunately I didn't get hit by a hailstone.”
