- Video shot as two tornadoes passed by Capshaw Mountain around 9:30am on March 2, 2012.
The first of the video is taken while driving on Nance, initially pointing North then turning West and then North again.
Then video is taken from the parking lot of Legacy Elementary School looking North towards Capshaw Mountain as the 2nd storm passes.
The damage video is looking North on Old Railroad Bed road near the intersection of Yarbrough road.
NOTE: I was not "storm chasing" when I shot this. I was on my way to my child's school and still had a video camera in the car from a previous outing. Just a case of "right place at the right(or wrong) time".
So creepy when you're right there at Capshaw and then the radio announcer starts talking about it. Fantastic footage!
Watching from Canada here! UNBELEIVABLE SEVERE weather you guys are getting!
@LFFG1 yes definitely, the tornado from April was an EF-5 this one was rated at an EF-3 however it was still quite violent
Thanks for posting this. I knew exactly where you were since I drive those roads every day.
That's my school!
Legacy Elementary is my school I was in Kindergartner. Now I'm in 5th
I could tell you were in 5th grade. You have a squidward dabbing profile pic
@momotous When you hear them talk about a second tornado on the ground and the "rocketcam" and seeing a large funnel cloud from Research Park Blvd ... we are looking at THAT storm.
@LFFG1 I hope you will be safe, my prayers are with you
@TheOzoneLayerHatesMe it seems to happen a lot more in the spring due to the changes in the climate
I was hit by this tornado on Hwy. 53 at advance auto parts after It passed over those houses and then over sparkman high school.
Amazing footage, great video quality
I was outside watching the cell form above my house just north of nick Davis
Job well done. Before and after. There were 4 tornadoes in all that day.
No, I think summer just gets Thunder storms, and spring is the tornado season
You could not pay me to live in Harvest. In 1974 April 3rd it got hit 2 times the same night with in 30 minutes with a F5. In 1995 it got hit. In 2011 it got hit. Hell no
This whole area is similar, almost every spot has seen a severe tornado within the last 50 years, lesser ones far more frequently, and multiple strikes within the same 24 hours has happened a lot. While you're at it, add the Moore OK area to your list of places not to be during tornado season.
@@P_RO_ yes I agree. I lived here all my life. People move here with all the Jobs today, I don't think they know the history.
@@darrylclaxton2757 My sister and her daughter lived in Piedmont during that time. Needless to say I was worried because all they had was to get under the stairs in their bottom-floor apartment; luckily everything stayed south of them. They knew almost nothing about tornadoes till they were moved in and started meeting neighbors and co-workers. Turned out that the place had once been partially wrecked by a tornado many years past.
@DeathAfterPain I've viewed your video. Kudo's on having the presence of mind to try and record what you did. Even bigger kudo's for being smart enough to go for cover when you did. Had this one become as big as last April's killer tornado (that missed THAT store by only about 1000 yards) ... you might not be posting anything.
It's tough to be in that situation and keep a level head.
Gonna be a bad tornado season guys. Be prepared and have a plan.
I'm watching tornado videos today
i was in ga but this happened on my birthday
My house at 4:17
Wow. Learn how to operate a HAM radio and to could be helping out when there are possible tornadoes or any at all
