talking about. if we play this you can actually some of these vortex tubes that i referred to a moment ago that you can actually see the vortex being pulled into the middle of the toronto. that s the vortex tube getting sucked into the updraft of the tornado and that further intensifies the storm. and it s likely that when the national weather service goes and asays the damage from the storm it will likely be an ef-3 to an ef-4 tornado. it does appear as if the tornadoes will actually not be as strong as we head into thursday, but we still have the possibility of severe weather from new orleans to atlanta. well, we will be watching the situation very, very closely. dooi dave van dam there. thank you. we re joined by a meteorologist and storm chaser from western arkansas. thank you for joining us. describe what it was like to be in the vicinity of this tornado.
