Brian Peters and I did something we never encourage anyone to do…we punched the core of the storm moving SE on I-22, racing the tornado that was moving NE toward Cordova. We made it south of the tornado track and filmed it. There were actually two tornadoes initially, the main one underneath the massive wall cloud, and a second one on the flanking line of the storm to the SW (indicative of the extreme shear we had yesterday). This tornado likely hit Cordova shortly after this film stops.
