Description:
Close encounter with a tornado southwest of Dodge City, KS. The white car passing was Reed Timmer who got insanely close. This was near the end of the first big tornado’s lifecycle as it roped out completely shortly after. We were first on scene to a destroyed house as well. Luckily the occupants of the house had a storm shelter and were in it.
