We're okay...we're okay

Two professional storm chasers, or what I like to call "crazy people", caught some pretty amazing video footage (see below) of the devastating storms that wrecked the entire town of Greensburg, Kansas this weekend. In fact, Reed Timmer and Joel Taylor almost bit the dust themselves while filming!

Anyone who is pretty handy with a video camera can tell from the video that these guys were within mere feet of this EF5* rated tornado. There is a little more coverage and detailed explanation from Timmer available on CNN's Pipeline video coverage.

*Note: Here's some quick tornado trivia. EF stands for Enhanced Fujita scale which is how the strength and potential devastation of storm systems are rated. The levels range from 0 - 5 with 0 being the lowest...need I say more? Let's please continue to pray for the people who live in this town or have loved ones there. Here's the unbelievable video footage:
