A tornado dances through the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near Saddle Mountain, OK. We are on OK-115 about 4 miles NW of Meers, OK, and about 2-3 mi E of the tornado. Watch how the near-surface part of the tornado bends and twists, possibly in response to the complex terrain. A chase log will be available soon at tornatrix.net. The "storm chasers" in this video hold MS and/or Ph.D. degrees in meteorology and have a decade of experience in storm research. All know how to conduct themselves safely in and around severe weather.

WICHITA (The Marshal of Wichita) Song By Tex Ritter Themesong from "Wichita" Westernmovie in 1955 Directed by Jacques Tourneur stars Joel mccrea and Lloyd Bridges Lyrics: In the town of Wichita, old Kansas, there was a man, a man of peace. Things were wild in Wichita, old Kansas, he told them all, This killing must cease! He shot it out with the worst men in Wichita, made every man lay his pistol down. No one fooled with the Marshal of Wichita, and today its a very nice town. Back in Wichita, law and order prevail, take me back to Wichita, let me ride that Wichita trail. He had a girl, and he courted and married her, she added love to his great renown. Folks still speak of the Marshal of Wichita, and today its a very nice town. A very nice town. (CHORUS) Tip: For More Tex Ritter Songs, klick here: www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com www.youtube.com
Report. Last week a Wichita man was out taking pictures of construction sites for his job when he said he saw a low flying, black shiny object. He said heard a sound like a fan whirring. He looked up and saw the object drop down and streak past faster than anything he ever saw. The man does not want to be identified because he's too embarrassed that people might think he's crazy. He told KAKE News he's lived in Wichita all of his life and knows aircraft. He has never seen anything like this one before. After urging from his wife, he sent the picture to a UFO expert who posted it on his website. Now the picture is getting international attention. Dirk Vander Ploeg tells KAKE News from New York he has seen objects in the sky that he believes have come from another planet. He said the picture from Wichita is a strange one, nothing like he's ever seen before.
