Overflight of the Tuscaloosa Alabama and Philadelphia MS tornado paths.

Flight was conducted at 3500 MSL  Slant range viz was pretty lousy so I made the most with what I could. 

Had another pilot with me during this flight which was helpful when it came to using my second camera for videoing the actual tornado path.

Tornado path segments begin about 4 minutes into the video.

Jackson Approach in this video.

Yikes... so sad to see such destruction, but it is humbling (especially for people like us who make a living flying in the weather). I once flew over a tornado scar but it was from a very weak EF1 and it was in rural farm land. Most damage it did was knock down some high-tension lines.
