This entire DVD is dedicated to the May 29, 2004 Harper/Sumner Counties, Kansas tornado outbreak. It produced the largest quantity of compelling tornado video I have ever captured in one day. And all of it shot on high quality Digital-8 format. My chase partners and I video taped (on tripod) the entire lifecycle of this incredible tornadic supercell; from formation and growth, to first tornado touchdown near Attica, Kansas, to final tornado dissipation in the fading twilight near Anson, Kansas. The first tornado was captured almost in its entirety from touchdown to dissipation as it gracefully tracked from Attica to Crystal Springs, Kansas. This was a classic funnel-shaped tornado bathed in orange sunlight. We were within a few hundred yards of the second tornado touchdown two miles northeast of Anthony, Kansas. Fast-paced action highlights our pursuit of this ever-changing tornado as well follow it from behind at close range to Freeport, Kansas. Satellite tornadoes were also video taped. We video taped another fast-moving tornado (along the flanking-line) strike a homestead west of Freeport, Kansas. Another tornado grew to giant "wedge" proportions as it tracked between Freeport to Argonia, Kansas.
We video taped the touchdown of the best multi-vortex tornado I have ever witnessed just north of Milan, Kansas and video taped it into its "wedge" stage near Conway Springs, Kansas. The storm produced its last tornado in the fading twilight near Anson, Kansas. The program is capped by a compelling, original music video which showcases my best 35mm images from this storm as well as time lapse video of the supercell thunderstorm and its tornadoes. Running Time: 63 minutes
