I do not own any tornado footage. However, in my life, I've seen about a dozen tornados in Oklahoma with my own eyes. I've seen many, many more broadcast live on local news stations from their camera-equipped helicopters.

Once, I was within 50 yards of an F-2 tornado in Seminole, OK. Ironically, I was working for a local TV station and we were setting up for a "Gary England's Terrible Twisters" road show at a small college to educate people about tornado safety. We were setting up A/V equipment in their gym when the storm was approaching. There were no windows to get a view so, I went outside with a co-worker to see what we could see. We saw a very menacing wall cloud approaching. The sky grew very dark, shingles from the college's buildings began to rip loose and started flying about. I was peeking around the edge of a 2-story brick building (the gym) and saw the Oklahoma flag get ripped off of the flagpole as it went straight up and out of sight.
We ran inside the gym at that point, but within 30 seconds we went back out and we could see the clearly-defined funnel about 100 yards away as it was now moving away from us.
This all happened within about a 3 minute span from my first venture outside to take a peek to the point it had passed us. Another camera operator got in a squad car with a local police officer and away they went chasing it into the country. That was about 12+ years ago and, unfortunately, I do not have a copy of that tornado on video.

I have a Chinese paratrooper rifle from WW2... I don't have any bullets, but the bayonette is still sharp. Plus, my rabbits are vicious creatures, and could probably decimate your ankles, rendering you unable to avoid my bayonette. Actually, I kind of like this idea.... Come on over!
