Here is a video from a chase with Dave Marshall and I. We bagged this monster around 4:50 p.m. as it crossed SR 4, just outside Girard, Illinois. Not bad for the first chase of the year, as I prepare to leave for chasing in the plains in two weeks. Here is a link to my Flickr site where I will be parking my stills from the day's shoot. It was quite a day!! I made many friends this day also, at the pre-chase convergence at the McDonalds in Effingham, Il.

This is an image from GRL 2 from the time of the tornado.
Here is a photo of me (bottom right by the truck) taken by Milwaukee photographer Jennifer Brindley as I am out shooting the tornado and trying to keep people from driving into the tornado at the same time...
Great catch!!
