Some videos from the May 22, 2008 tornado outbreak. For this post I'm focusing on the four tornadoes that touched down in Southern California. The same storm system reportedly dumped a foot and a half of hail in parts of the Los Angeles metro area.
Perhaps the most impressive video. Shows the EF2 crossing the 215 and the EF0 that tracked parallel is visible as well.
The EF2 crossing the freeway filmed from much closer. At this location an 18 wheeler was thrown 40 feet through the air seriously injuring the driver.
Another view of the EF2 with the overturned train cars visible. The tornado derailed nine heavy boxcars, this damage was awarded an EF2 rating.
This is either the EF2 or the EF0 that tracked parallel. The rotation on this thing is clearly visible:
Finally, a clearer view of the overturned boxcars.
