It's 12:30AM, Sunday, 30 May 04. I'm at work watching the Weather Channel. They just showed footage from Canadian County, OK earlier tonight of a tornado on the ground.
Okay, big deal you say, but...the footage "appears" to be shot from the air! Hard to tell how far away the "aircraft" was from the tornado, due to the zoom lens, but it looks like a couple of miles.
Granted, this particular storm cell had no other clouds around it (I saw the satellite shot of it earlier today) and the tornado is usually on the SW side of the cell, so it would be possible to see the tornado if you fly to the SW of the cell.
I'm just not brave enough to fly that close to a super cell. Anybody else find this strange?
