  • Check out this Dominator Drone intercept of a massive cone #tornado with softball size hail nearly taking it out of the sky yesterday in the Pecos Valley of Texas! Old faithful does it again with a prolific tornado producer south of Fort Stockton. Since the tornado would not cross Highway 285, we had to use the drone to capture a closer perspective. A moderate risk for likely #tornado outbreak has been issued for tomorrow in Oklahoma and Kansas

    In the drone footage without any sound, it looks like a majestic beast off in the distance.

      @rillgen8181 try watching one touch down and it's 3 blocks from your house. I was on 63 watching it touch down and could see it was so close to my house in jonesboro that I wouldn't know if it was hit til I got there. I've always wanted to see one, but that changed in an instant when I saw it dropping into the middle of town! I went from excited like my kid was fixing to be born, to panicked, to scared, to devastated to elated and then back to devastated all over again. My house wasn't hit thank god but it tore our town apart.
