A season in Tornado Alley capturing tornado videos, lightning, supercells and the occasional horny toad. I witnessed 14 tornadoes, saw a lot of beautiful storm structure and extraordinary lightning. For licensing 4k storm video contact hankschyma@gmail.com In 2017, roughly 1400 tornadoes touched down in the United States. 14 of those tornadoes were deadly and only 3 of those tornadoes were in Tornado Alley. The tornado season came early this year and by January 23, there were 20 tornado related fatalities... Already more than the previous years totals. Though it was active year, many storm chasers considered 2017 a mediocre year in regards to photogenic tornado activity. Many tornado outbreaks occurred at night and were displaced outside Tornado Alley making them difficult to chase. January 16 Houston TX tornadoes. Early in the morning a couple weak tornadoes traversed Houston Texas during morning rush hour causing EF0 damage. March 26 Ada Oklahoma funnel clouds. Several funnel clouds loomed over Ada Oklahoma. A couple caused brief spin ups of dust. March 28 Texas tornadoes. A couple small tornadoes occurred near Abilene Texas with a photogenic cone topping off the event. Large hail and strong wind accompanied dramatic lightning ripping across the sky. April 29, Canton Texas tornadoes. Training supercells riding up a stalled boundary would drop tornadoes one after another in the Eustice and Canton Texas vicinity. The main events were a large EF4 tracking just west of Canton and a large EF3 tracking just east of Canton and striking the community of Fruitvale Texas. May 9, Cochran County Texas brief tornado. 1 possible tornado and one confirmed brief rope tornado occurred after sunset.
