Thanks to Emily Amberson for this video… she writes:

“James,

I have a video that was taken from my camera phone of the storm seen in the attached picture. I thought you might be interested in see the video. Unfortunately the video file is too large for me to email. Is there anywhere that I could upload it for you to view. I know that you have a Flickr account, but that only does photos, correct?

I work out on Ft. McClellan and we had just been released from work after the tornado warning was lifted at 3pm. As I was leaving work (around 3:20) I saw something that looked suspiciously like a disintegrating funnel cloud. I decided to find an open spot to look at it. I ended up stopping in a parking lot at the corner of Exchange Avenue and Town Center Drive (still on the fort) looking east/southeast towards the mountains.

Thanks for all of the awesome work you do!”
