April 16, 2015 - TX Panhandle Tornadoes

This was an iffy day in terms of where we'd be chasing. Either northeastern or southeast panhandle. Turns out, it was right in between. After witnessing the Conway, TX spinup, and driving in a massive circle, we finally headed the storm off north of McLean. We watched as the storm began to ramp upwith a surging RFD, and I made a last second decision to not bail east of the storm. This paid off as A) we were the only chaser a mile ahead or behind us, leaving us with a nice empty road, and B) gave us a somewhat close view of the tornado that ensued near Kellerville, TX. After the intercept, we went east into Wheeler noting lots of hail and flooding. We called it a day with steak from Big Vern's Steakhouse in Shamrock.

We could hear the roar the entire time of filming this. We knew the tornado was likely large and strong. Luckily there's not a single thing to hit out here.
