Eastern Fury
|
Sample Video (3 min; 15.6 MB)
Low-Res version (3 min; 6.2 MB)
I have compiled this video to show the variety and beauty of eastern tornadoes and to preserve this tornado video for future research and historical interest. Many tornado videos are shown for a couple of seconds on the news, then left forgotten in news archives. A documentary may show a longer clip but leave out interesting and important parts of the tornado formation and life cycle. Other tornado videos are only shown to a few people, then left to deteriorate in someones attic or basement. More importantly, I have put this collection together to educate storm spotters, chasers and the public on the presence and variety of tornadoes in the East. Many tornadoes, especially in the East, don't appear to be the standard tube or funnel. Instead, they may appear to be a column of smoke, papers flying in the air or are obscured by rain, trees, haze and buildings. Recognition can be difficult.
Eastern Fury is mostly amateur video along with some contributions from local media. When possible, I have tried to preserve the natural soundtrack (edited for family viewing). I have spent two years researching eastern tornadoes and contacting the videographers/television stations for permission to use their video and images for this DVD. Sometimes, I found video through word of mouth or by contacting residents in an affected area. Unfortunately, some of the internet sources that I used for more recent tornadoes have already vanished since I started this project in Fall 2004. Several of the videographers/photographers have moved and two are already deceased. If I had started this project today, I would have never located many of the videos that are in this DVD. Due to time constraints, I will not produce an "Eastern Fury 2." I hope that someone with a similar interest in tornadoes will continue collecting tornado videos from the eastern United States and make them available to researchers, spotters and others with an interest in storms.
