one last shot of travis...



the may 3 tornado in oklahoma city, ok

this shot of the torndado that went through moore and okc was taken from my friend's car. we were only a few miles southwest of moore, and about three miles from the tornado itself.

another shot of the same tornado a few minutes later as it is close to crossing I-44 toward moore

the official website for channel 9 in okc, one of the easiest and best sources for info on the may 3 tornadoes. also the home of gary england, the weatherman who rocks my socks off!

just a note... i grew up in one of the neighborhoods that was demolished by the tornado in these pictures, and i was out chasing these things on may 3, so i've seen firsthand what they can do. it means a lot to me that bte was willing to donate $3 out of every ticket sold to the tornado recovery fund. can these guys get any cooler? :)
