Noble County Tornado
05/11/2010 20:14SevereSkies.Net was able to capture 2 tornadoes and a funnel on video in Noble County OK. As seen in the picture below it is tornado track number 2. The team encountered multiple trees down in the roadway and a powerline down as we tried to catch up to the tornado but eventually lost it due to a unmoveable tree in the roadway and the fast storm movement. Pictures and videos should be up soon so make sure to check back.
