Mulvane June 12, 2004 tornado

I remember asking “Why is the tornado white?” And my dad said “Because lightning struck it”. Fluid dynamics is not his interest.

Ha ha ha

That looks like the Rock tornado! The third one produced by that storm, I believe. Nice shot

Man that thing was so violent

Told this story number of times, was in summer session 1 at OU after my first Soph yr. Eddie Natenburg came & got me & said were going N, he liked setup. Rest is history.

I’m glad my town has something meteorologically important to its name

The first tornado interceptor called the Tornado Attack 1 piloted by Steve Green made a run to intercept that Mulvane tornado. Joel and I were guiding him

Your video, Reed, spanned tornadoes #1 through #3 (Mulvane was #2) that I've witnessed (4 total, one on a 2008 chasecation after moving to Phoenix in '06). I met a high school classmate as we watched #3. He said it was wild to have his kids see Andover '22 tornado in his vehicle
