Tornadoes Dance North and South of Norman, Oklahoma, 10 May 2010, 5:30 - 5:45 p.m.
They're still blowing tornado warning sirens intermittently as I write this, but it appears the tornado danger may have passed here in Norman. Parts of Oklahoma City, Choctaw, Moore, Noble Little Axe,and the Lake Thunderbird Marina, were not so fortunate.
The following videos were shot from my back yard at the times indicated on 10 May 2010.

*** C A U T I O N ***
Making photographs and videos when severe weather is in your area is DANGEROUS. Tornadoes at distances greater than five miles (8 km), in daylight, with good visibility, with a weather radio or TV in hand are one thing; tornadoes at distances less than five miles, OR at night, OR in poor visibility, OR without a working weather radio or TV are quite another. Particularly if you're young, DON'T TAKE CHANCES WITH THESE STORMS. THEY CAN AND DO KILL PEOPLE!
