Wow that was amazing at the end, scary stuff. So a tornado actually passed right over the gas station? i wonder how strong it was F2 or F3 maybe?

Great programme. Who was driving the second car through the RFD?

I am glad my wife didn't see it! She would never let me join you in a few years time if she did!

ABSOLUTELY BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!! :):D:):shok:

I remember watching that Kearney storm on here a little while ago - awesome! Had the surround sound on full, heavy bass and just loud - it was like I was there!

Now I have to fester for 10 months, unless of course we get something like that here in the mean time :doh:

Un*****believable.......!!!!!! Well balanced documentary showing the beauty and the total devastation these storms

cause ... Chris Terrill what a crazy fellow out in hail the size of baseball !!! Armour or not thats a pretty mad thing to do,

loved how Dave Ewoldt replied when he asked if he could go out into the hail....

Bet it was like inside a washing machine when Chris opened the door...!!!

Paul, how did you manage to simulate that in a car wash, amazing! :shok: No seriously, really incredible footage, well done mate.

Helps to lessen the blow of missing out on the Thames Streamer in Feb, eh! :)

That Chris took a chance didnt he. Shut that door!

Thanks for all the footage and entertainment on this years Storm Chase and many thanks to all the NW members who took part.

Regards,

Tom

doubt it :)

That was one of the best weather documentaries I have ever watched :D:D Really interesting to follow, and great to see some of the netweather team too :)

The last scene had to be the best, especially where it turned pitch black in just a couple of seconds, and when he opened the door...!! :D:)

Anyone still interested for next year after that :shok::) Thanks for all the replies 2008 was awesome, Roll on 2010!

Seriously though, great credit to Chris, one of the best Documentaries I have ever seen on British Tv, a great balance between the Chasers and the Affected, my heart goes out to these people who are the VERY Best on this planet and even if their house had been severely damaged they would still offer you a cup of Tea if they had the means.

Was great to see Stu, Roger and Lorraine on the TV for a change, made for some great laugh out loud moments such as Lorraines ash scattering wishes, the hail-ball hitting the presenter hand, and the hilarious door opening attempt in the middle of a Mesocyclonic downdraught.

Now I know how it must feel to live in the states with so little weather data to rely on, except the TV reports and radio if your just a average person. I really wish there was something else that could be done to help the folks of these small communities to be more aware of the storms around them.

Was a great show anyway without any "global warming" rubbish for a change.

Have to say probably the best tornado docu I've seen - just the right balance between the excitement of storm chasing and stark reality of the consequences of these storms.

Great to see so many known faces and friends in it too :) Well done to all involved!

It's got me on Youtube now - watching loads of vids and cranking the volume up!

This one has happened to me on at least 3 occasions - fortunately, just given the frights - UNfortunately, no videos!

Incredible footage by Chris out the door the doomed van at Aurora, it was hard to appreciate how fast the winds were going sat in our car nearby as you couldn't see out the window for the rain and day darkness- but certainly will always remember that experience - but the footage of the wind driven rain drummed it home.

Btw, we were experiencing the RFD wrapping around the tornado which was 1/2 mile away - though the RFD winds were probably just as strong as the winds around the tornado itself ... but of course had the tornado been over us it could well have sucked our vehicles up in the air.

Some nice clips of Paul talking, like the one where you are doing up your belt :lol:

I appear pushing the car out the mud and also saying the carriages were being blown over on the line beside our car while driving through RFD ... oh well least I made an appearance albeit in the background B)
