One gentleman described the Phil Campbell tornado as a "giant octopus" as it came over the mountain into Mount Hope. He's not in this video.

Interesting view of the Union Grove, Al tornado of April 27, 2011.

Approximate paths:

Red  - Tanner 2

White- Tanner 1

Blue  - Tanner 3 (2011)

Holy hell, it's amazing how many people that day who were shooting video, were oblivious to how close they almost came to getting swept off the face of this earth.

This is a fairly unseen video (about 1,800 views) that reminds no matter how awe-inspiring a tornado can be, there's something terrible going on under it. Check out the exchange at about 3 minutes when the tornado sprouts it's multiple vortices. There is cheering until someone reminds them that people are dying with a little profanity.
