I have created some video clips for your enjoyment which hopefully give some idea of the excitement that is generated during the tour, especially when seeing storms and tornadoes.
The clips are in WMV format which works in Media Player 7 and MSIE. Netscape currently does not recognize WMV files so if you have Windows Media Player installed you can copy and paste the yellow URL given for each clip into the media player (use Ctrl-U) to enjoy the videos.
