A video published yesterday shows amateur storm chasers getting overtaken by the Vilonia, Arkansas tornado!

We shot this video shortly before God spared our lives. Others around us were lost. Thoughts & Prayers for those affected...

There are obvious dangers to storm chasing, but internet videos, movies and TV shows glamorize the dangerous pursuit to the point that some thrill-seekers hit the road looking for the super-cells. Last year, several professional storm chasers were hospitalized after they got too close and their vehicle tosses by a tornado. Members of another group were killed in their chase.

News reports put the number of dead from the storms at 18 persons.

The videos are exciting, so watch them and let the professionals chase tornados.
