As most know by now, I do a lot of volunteer work in the ocean activism community when I’m not storm chasing in Tornado Alley.

I uploaded some video of the Campo Colorado tornado event to our YouTube channel yesterday, enjoy. I do apologize for the language, but people do tend to get excited in the back of the storm chasing tour van. This was shot by a customer (Scott M) which I’m thankful for because since I’m in the front, and in this case driving, I missed a lot of it myself – so it’s great to be able to see the tornado from our customer’s perspective.
