A large cone tornado formed near Creston, Iowa this evening and BNVN Weather Paparazzi Brandon Sullivan shot video showing the tornado forming as they drive into the city.
The tornado was short lived as he was approaching the funnel cloud, and shows the tornado condensing into a beautiful white elephant trunk tornado. By the time he got through the city and into a clearing, the tornado had already fallen apart.

Severe weather broke out across parts of the plains as a powerful storm system produced severe weather across Nebraska and Iowa with several tornadoes, high winds, and hail.
BNVN Weather Paparazzi Tony Laubach shot this footage as a weak area of circulation and associated RFD winds blow debris across the highway south of Syracuse right over himself and other chasers.
The video then shows a very brief gustnado spinning up in a field before dissipating, likely the same area of rotation that passed over in the first scene.
Various other shots include high winds, up to 1-inch hail falling and covering the roadways near Syracuse.
Last shots taken before the storm hit, including a high-based wall-cloud that was associated with the circulation from the first scenes. Also includes structure shots of the storm.

On March 11th, 2011 Save Japan Dolphins volunteer Brian Barnes and his companions witnessed hell on Earth, but also experienced great kindness from strangers in the wake of Japan’s devastating earthquake and tsunami.
Brian Barnes with http://www.StormTours.com was in Otsuchi, Japan as a volunteer for http://www.SaveJapanDolphins.org and barely escaped with his life after the earthquake hit.
His companions who were with SSCS and himself barely made it to higher ground on a nearby hill that overlooked the town before Otsuchi was completely destroyed by the Tsunami. After the Tsunami, they had to spend the night on the hill as the city was on fire. The next morning they had to abandon their rental cars since the road below them was no longer there and spent the day walking through the burning remains of the city. Brian said that the walk through what can only be described as hell on earth just to find a way back to the main road and away from the coast.
He tried his best to document the events while fearing of another Tsunami as the area was being hit with strong aftershocks.
The following shows the aftermath after the water receded before finally getting to the mountain road leading to Tono.

New video in from Brian Barnes of StormTours http://www.stormtours.com who was in Otsuchi Japan which was near the Epicenter of the 9.0 Earthquake and north of the city of Sendai Japan.
我々は、シーシェパードをされていない、このビデオはシーシェパードを次れたジャーナリストからだった。
*** Please think before you post a comment because they were focused on trying to stay alive vs shooting video ***
He went to Otsuchi Japan as part of a volunteer group for Save Japan Dolphins (SJD) http://www.savejapandolphins.org that is operated by Earth Island Institute and lead by Ric O’Barry of the Oscar winning movie “The Cove” to document the largest slaughter of cetaceans in the world, the Dall’s porpoise slaughter.
I met up with Scott West and Tarah Millen who were there with the Sea Sheppard Conservation Society (SSCS). We agreed to go to Otsuchi together because the area has had very little western activist in it in the past and the fishermen there have shown aggressive violent behavior to those who have previously monitored the Dall’s porpoise hunt, we figured we would need to watch each others backs.
我々は、シーシェパードをされていない、このビデオはシーシェパードを次れたジャーナリストからだった。
Brian said “We were scouting out the location and were filming the docks and the Porpoise fishermen in the harbor when the earthquake hit.” He said that he jumped out of the car and tried to start filming the earthquake but it was so up/down, and back/forth that I could barely get the camera started.
In the video he shot you can see the earthquake was still shaking the area their rental car moving back and fourth. Brian said “I think my instincts with disasters from my years of Storm Chasing just sort of took over. I’ve never been in anything like that before and I knew it was major but I guess you still just see it as a natural disaster at the time and instinctively do the “chase” thing, if that makes sense. We really shouldn’t be alive.”
As soon as the ground stopped shacking we got in our rental car and were followed by another car with SSCS volunteers and headed to the top of a hill overlooking the town just before the 25 meter high Tsunami hit where we were just standing only minutes before. The time from the Earthquake to the Tsunami striking Otsuchi was about eight minutes.
The Tsunami reduced the city to ruins and the tsunami protection wall that was built to save the city was smashed and washed out to sea, everything was completely destroyed. Brian watched as the ocean recede and then rushed back in at least a dozen times where at one point the entire ocean floor was exposed. At one point we saw and heard a woman in the water screaming for help, but she was washed out to sea before they could do anything to rescue her.
“We saw cars and what was left of homes floating in the water and what was not destroyed in the Tsunami was burned up in the massive fire that started after the Tsunami.
We were stuck on this hill because the road at the bottom on either side was completely gone and had to take shelter in our rental cars for the night. The rental cars they had are still on the hill side where they had to abandon them since the road below was gone.
In the morning we got up and abandoned their rental cars on the road up on the hill and hiked back into town. They started seeing the dead bodies everywhere. A woman hanging from a tree where the wave left her, people dead in what was left of their cars, total devastation. It took us an entire day to walk out of the town, rubble doesn’t even describe what we saw. To bring home the massive destruction, Hurricane Katrina and the Greensberg Kansas Tornado, those disasters are nothing compared to this. Every car we saw was smashed along with just about every wooden home was destroyed.
There wasn’t one thing left standing, it looked like something out of a world war two film after the war ended.
We finally made it to safety after climbing over the ruins of houses and walking over burning rubble and back to our hotel in Tono before paying a kings ransom to take a taxi to Akita Japan where I’m waiting for a flight back to America.
