Drone video of the tornado that destroyed several homes near Four Forks, LA. The debris you see flying around the tornado are pieces of those homes. Unfortunately, a mother and her young son lost their lives in this tornado. Tornado appeared to be on the ground for around 12 minutes (433-445). I had drone on it whole time. #tornado #lawx | Photojournalist Brian Emfinger

A tornado developed right in front (clip in video!) of me near Monett, Missouri. It did some damage to homes and destroyed several barns. I put the drone up after I got just in front of the tornado as it approached Aurora, Missouri. While the condensation funnel only occasionally made full contact with the ground there was a ground circulation the entire time. The tornado dissipated just as it got to Aurora. #tornado #mowx | Photojournalist Brian Emfinger

Tornado sirens wail while a tornadic storm moves over (southeast of Sioux City, IA)… with snow still on the ground. A rain wrapped tornado was moving past that direction and you can see the damage it did to a building and another tornado took down powerlines. #IAWX | Photojournalist Brian Emfinger

Video of the tornado damage at Monette Manor Nursing Home. Lots of people and communities will be needing help over the coming days. The initial response by emergency personnel was amazing. There were first responders from all over the area streaming into Monette and there wasn’t a lot of time to waste as more storms including more tornado warned storms were approaching. #arwx | Photojournalist Brian Emfinger

More video from yesterday’s close intercept by drone of a tornado that tore thru the Silas, Alabama area. Video starts off showing a close call a vehicle made barely making it past the tornado and trees coming down on the highway with power flashes. Next clip shows the tornado doing damage to property with trees and outbuildings destroyed. Next a couple clips of the interesting tornado movement and vortices. At 1:19 in the video follow along as a tree or branch is ripped straight up and ascends

Chased one of the intense supercells west of Omaha. I am pretty sure the tornado report out there was just feisty gustnados. I got hit by one in this video and it ripped off a stop sign and sent it flying. Storm kicked up a nice dust storm. Did a drone time lapse and you can see the stream of chasers below. Brief time lapse of southern tornadic supercell fading into night is at the end. #newx #Nebraska #omaha | Photojournalist Brian Emfinger

Significant tornado damage from early morning storms in Northwest Arkansas. The tornado appears to have developed around the Northwest Arkansas Mall which had downed trees and some damage. The path was very evident from there to the NE into Springdale… downing a cell tower, destroying a business, before moving into more residential areas where numerous homes were heavily damaged. | Photojournalist Brian Emfinger

Hurricane force wind gusts slammed into towns across Southeast South Dakota into Iowa. My highest gust was 89.5mph. Visibility was very low at times and trees are down all across town and power is out to most of town. Town looks like it was hit by something along lines of a category 1 Hurricane. Video includes hurricane force wind gusts, power flashes, damage, and from earlier as the storms were still tornadic … hail, lightning, and some aerial video of a tornado on west side of Missouri River n

Here is my full video of the Elgin, Texas tornado. Lots of new footage that I haven’t put out there yet. One crazy thing which I cropped into is right before the tornado crossed the road and hit the red truck… there was a herd of cows that were trying to outrun the tornado. Spoiler alert: Cows can not outrun tornadoes. | Photojournalist Brian Emfinger
