Uploaded by: StinkeyWeaselteets — Friday April 30, 2010 — Sardis, AR

Tornado captured in Sardis Arkansas. It was twilight when and this was shot at ISO 6400 thus it is noisy. Tornado was about 3/4 miles from us during this shot. I clicked 3 frames and we hauled booty. The tornado crossed the road at this exact place a few moments later. moved on to East End Arkansas where id did extensive damage.

Great shot, so glad you are safe. We have damage in the Jackson County area and they think from Tornado. Stay safe.

I'll bet I've been through 20 hurricanes in my life, but tornadoes scare me: No warning, and a big one doesn't fool around!

My brother was in East End just before this tornado came through. He suddenly had a feeling that he needed to leave there and 10 minutes after he left, it hit.
