Waffle Iron Archives's video: ABC 33 40 Coverage - 4-27-2011 - PM Storms

I added another clip, albiet it's not the best quality, shown to me after I uploaded the original. I also trimmed one missing piece of redundant footage I missed. Original text: The Super Outbreak of April 27th, 2011 was a massive tornado outbreak, surpassing the April 3, 1974 outbreak in many ways. Alabama got hit really hard. This tornado outbreak sees two tornadoes caught live on cameras (I count the one in Birmingham as the one in Tuscaloosa, as it never lifted off the ground, so it's one tornado). Speaking of that tornado, it's a nasty tornado that grew to be over a mile wide by the time it got to Birmingham's northwestern regions. James Spann and Jason Simpson go into wall-to-wall coverage mode at 2PM local time, and this footage is made up of two sources: The official ABC 33/40 upload (which contained, again, redundant footage I had to trim)... but also someone's off-air recording they got via a sattelite dish. Outside some small jumps/redundant parts, the sattelite coverage gets almost 4 hours worth of footage. The rest of the footage is from ABC 33/40's official upload, albiet with the redundant footage cut out. Still, this coverage tops out at over 7 hours and 45 minutes (approximately, there's some minor missing/overlap I didn't trim out but I got most of the redundant footage). Towards the end of the outbreak they go into damage coverage mode, complete with people out in the field and pictures of the damage. It ends at approximately 11:35PM (no commercials are shown where they'd normally be). This was a pain to make, with Vegas crashing alot due to it not liking my graphics card. Still, I made it in the end. None of this footage is mine, but it is a composite of several sources. First was John Brown's recording of the footage. Is this the same John Brown who is mentioned as a storm chaser? https://www.youtube.com/user/jbbbrown2 His footage makes up the bulk of the first 4 hours of coverage. The rest is from ABC 33/40's upload. This is the definitive supercut of the Super Outbreak of 2011, and it doesn't even include the tornadoes in the Huntsville Television Market (like the Phil Cambell tornado which took out a radar site and was even worse than the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham Tornado). I'd like to find footage of that, but outside some highlights I haven't found much.
