i dont see any tornado's the most i see is the right condtions for a tornado
when he says "all of this is one big fricken tornado" at the end of the 2nd video isnt a tornado but what is refered to as a super cell
air from the rockies hits air from the gulf of mexico and causes the whole storm system to spin
tornado's can form from this type of storm system but a torando of that size he wouldnt be here to post the videos

Here's the explanantion I got from a guy from the local racing forum who has weather experience:
You ever heard of a microburst? And the main reason the sirens were going off everywhere was primarily for very large hail and the 80+mph winds that this Severe Thunderstorm w/embedded microburst was producing. NWS recommended any/all communities in the path to activate there sirens, because of how dangerous it was. This storm definitely had the possibility to produce tornadoes, but that was not one. Just so you know I do have a background in weather, been part of my job now for Ohh, about 15 years.

That wasn't a tornado. And really if the guy thought there was a tornado living in Texas all I can say is that guy was relatively dense. No offense. But real tornados in real storms are MUCH scaier than that.
