May 3, 1999 Oklahoma Tornado Outbreak Part 1 of 3 

Legend has it that Val is still saying Gary's name repeatedly all these years later.............

Camera quality from 99 was exceptionally good.

I loved the small part Gary england played in Twister. He is one of the best meteorologists in the Us.

Jeff Petroski videoed the 1999 Moore/ Bridgecreek F-5 tornado at very dangerous close range, following it. Afterwards I called his number and incredibly he answered. Talked a few minutes. Good guy.

For anyone that doesn't know who "Gary" is on the other end of the phone, he's the top-dog meteorologist for channel 9 weather in OKC.

Gary England, one of the premier if not the best meteorologists in the world. He is the lifeline to the people in the path of this tornado, which, by the way KILLED people in Bridge Creek and Moore, Oklahoma. Val and Amy helped him to make sure people knew the needed to be underground.

The other crazy thing is the 2013 tornado closely followed the exact path of the 1999 EF5 crazy how it looked to have started smaller and got so large and it moved FAST.

Nice job Val and Amy! Great capture and great composure considering how incredibly dangerous this tornado turned out to be. Hard to believe it’s been 22 years already and the last really bad one was only 8 years ago.

Scariest day of my life. I lived in Norman and we ran south as fast as possible.

Val, I've seen excerpts of your footage in documentaries on TV before, so I'm thrilled to see you have your own RU-vid channel - I'm looking forward to looking through your uploads.

Those windshield wipers drive me absolutely NUTS !

Pay attention, Gary!

Val and Amy still my favorite Oklahoma chasers! Great footage!

These are the best videos of this monster! Thank you Val and Amy, for sharing your experiences!

11:16 we've got tennis ball size hail in people's yards... 11:20 CRACK Well, certainly jinxed it.

Probably the best video I’ve seen, I refused to chase this one because I was terrified by the conditions my synoptic meteorology teacher told us students about that morning. This video helps us learn about tornado formation, how the center of energy is dodgy at first, then how it starts gaining momentum. Very good video.

Put it in reverse Gary.

That truck is certainly getting a good workout-vrooom!

I remember watching some footage of this on TLC about 15 years ago. Really great video.

The guy is obsessed with the name Gary. Lol

These videos are so fascinating. I live in Lawton, and I vaguely remember these tornadoes, only because it was my third birthday and I spent it in a closet with my mom and brother. Tornado season's here again, I'm pretty excited and I hope this year is the year I can see a live tornado.

Come on Gary! We got a tornado here Gary!

I have this sneaking suspicion that guy on the phone is named "Gary" ... but, eh, I could be wrong.

🔫 Say Gary one more f'n time, I dare you!!

I was at OU and oblivious to how bad this was until we were told to take shelter. You, Amy, Gary, and the rest saved many lives. (Cell coverage was not great back then)

Summation of the video audio: - engine revving - wipers squeaking - little bit of rain and wind - woman whispering "back up a little" but most importantly: "GARY! GARY" pretty great video recording though, well documented I think

Gary...? Gary. Gary! Gary... Gary?

The birth of a monster.. I was under the smiling water tower in Moore when it crossed I-35.

great camera... its clear!!!

Ok Gary, Gary be safe Gary.

This is the definition of great storm chasers. Professional and know there shit. Well done. Terrifying how big it became but these men were nothing short of professional going about it.

Val was driving a dark blue Chevy Z71 extended cab pickup,that truck looked so cool with the antennas,light bar and off road tires.

Window:SCREE SCREE me:why do Mondays bring me dis

Val Castor drinking game.. one shot for "Gary" 2 shots of Henney for "Lowering"

I think Gary called in to work that day. Seriously though, such awesome power. An EF 5 tornado can take the lives of even those who do everything right. That is a power you must respect. If you hear sirens, get underground if you can. If you cannot get underground, protect yourself the best you can and prepare for your afterlife. A direct hit above ground from an EF 4 or 5 tornado is something you are unlikely to survive. Pay close attention to watches in your area, and do not take warnings lightly. You cannot predict when the big one might hit. Always better safe than sorry, or worse.

I so remember this I was there that weekend!!!! It came over our hotel.....

Gary, Gary, are you with me Gary? Gary. Gary!

New drinking game every time he says Gary take a drink 😂

Gary wasn't paying attention. sounds like

Impressive video and a spectacular tornado! There were points where the circulation appeared to be very intense. Was there any scouring of the field or substantial trenches dug up along the track of this particular tornado?

We all are Gary now

Look how greenish the sky looks beyond those clouds at the beginning of this.

Hey Gary you there?

GARYGARYGARYGARYGARY

Finally thanks val :)

What were you sending pics on in 1999?

Hi Val I bet the CAPE was very intense that day for such intensity of tornadoes?

I was going to say, you're saying my name quite a bit, HAHAHA!

1999. We seemed worse than tornado's in the days of our misspent youth. Thanks.

Pretty sure he was talking to someone named Gary

Someone needs to pay a visit to Midas Muffler...

Val Castor ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DW7URqE8Er0.htmlm9s ) is talkin' to Gary England, one of the greatest meteorologists and tornado reporters there is.

Ah phone coverage in rural Oklahoma back in 1999 Hell, as bad as it is now I can’t imagine what it was back then

Wow you called that one Val at 1:20....

The big question is....WHERE IS GARY

your awesome bro

is this the same tornado that killed 40 people in Bridge Creek and Amber Oklahoma?

this camera was from 99?

So who counted how many times he said Gary?

This is what we call, the origin of 2 famous photos

I know where you were when the video started! It's on flowermound rd where Sherwood village trailer park is

My Home Town.. Cyril.

It has intense circulation on the ground,? Is that natural for a tornado?...

drinking game: take a shot every time he says "gary"

Just downright terrifying watching that thing spin across the field as close as it appeared, incredible. Btw, I like how the guy actually contained himself. If this were some amateur: "OMG! PEOPLE ARE DYING RIGHT NOW! OH MY GOD IT'S INTENSE! DAVE GET SOME PICTURES. I SAID GET SOME PICTURES!!!!! OMG LOOK AT THIS THING GO! DAVE STOP SCREAMING AND GET SOME PICTURES!!!! OMG OMG LOOK AT THAT THING GO! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT! DAVE GET THE FUCKING PICTURES!!!!!!

Gary? Gary! Gary! GARY!! Gary?

What was the rating?

My mom been in the 1999 tornato down in loveland

The driver is definitely driving like he stole it.

Most daring sudden terror

GARY !!! YOU RUINED MY RECORD MAN I JUST BOUGHT IT !

gary has left the chat

Truck sounds great

I can feel its an f3 but only if it hit something strong enough

How did they send pics in 1999 ????? That's odd

“Gary? GARY??!!”

Anyone here live in Oklahoma and never been hit by a tornado? Just curious

There is obviously only one person on the phone. Why does he need to keep saying Gary

Gary Gary Gary Gary. Who thinks his voice is annoying?

1:18 Quite the call

10:58 cc: well gary word we're about a mile southeast of an idiot house or something... lmao

Just curious on what vehicle they’re in, sounds funny.

Fukkin Gary

I counted at least 431 Gary's. What was the final count? Anyone? bwahahahhaahahhahh Gary!

Gary can you see me. ? Can you feel me near you ? Gary ? Gary ?

Better to hollar for Gary rather than Mike haha

Gary...Gary! Gary!! Gary...Gary...Gary!!

I'm Gary...

where did this tornado happen at

i came here for the v8 noises

If I never hear the name Gary, it'll be too soon

Gary somewhere playing his own drinking game

Should team up with the kids from the Hattiesburg footage... Gary? Gary? Continue...continue...uh Gary? Continue...

Alright, who the fuck is Gary?!

man sounds like Jonas miller

Gary Gary Gary!!!!!

Les Claypool is a storm chaser?

Hey Gary, I quit! Did ya git that Gary? Gary! Gary, did ya hear me, Gary?

Do you get a bs in meteorology to become a storm chaser?
