*IndyMeso* Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Well what does it look like? The footage was from a car that had stopped at a couple of homes. Nothing leveled from that view but roofs gone, major structural damage. Hard to tell if they were the on the outskirts of the damage path though.

Stevo6899 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Was watching the live video as the tornado hit and it looked like it was almost pitch dark. Now its light where they are. Crazy how dark it gets with these super cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they (along with other chasers) have stopped to help in the town. They were so close it took a little bit for me to figure out it was a tornado. If they were really that close, and it wasn't a video illusion, I would have crapped my pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rent Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Looks to me like there is also strong rotation south/southwest of Galva - but no tornado warning. Early, Iowa appears to be in the path of the tornado warned cell. Im watching Brad Goddard on ChaserTV cant quite tell if thats structure or rain on to the right of center.
