Dateline Special: Year of the TornadoThis Friday, the Fourth of July, Dateline NBC will have a special on at 10 EDT/ 9 CDT called "Year of the Tornado". Some of the video in the special will be from SevereStudios Storm Chasers. Many others from the chasing community will be featured. Two storm chasers (including David Payne) from KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City will be featured in the Dateline special. David has been awarded an Emmy for his severe weather reports in Oklahoma. Here are two previews of the type of stories you will see in the show.

Msnbc clips
Thanks for posting the Msnbc clips of the KFOR team from Oklahoma city. I know locally here sometimes they get the reputation as "over reactors" or get teased for their hours of coverage but I have to say they are my fave team in these parts. They get great footage, and really take the time to get the warnings out.
In March of 2007 we were in a tornado warning here in Norman and I heard it on four, the circulation was literally 2 miles at most from my house, and I had to get 3 kids in my closet! I was in the closet a good 5 mins before I heard sirens. KFOR does an excellent job of getting people as much warning as possible.
Love the footage of the May 3 one in the second one, near Amber where is is basically being "born" if you will and goes to half a mile wide. I think David Payne has a lot of guts, and while at times he might have put himself in some danger he sure does his job well.
