Only a week old, our new "Tornado Alley" website is already showing off nature's most violent storms in a dramatic way, LIVE on your computer. In the span of an hour, two chasers in two states broadcast live video of tornadoes.

25-year-vet chaser David Drummond was tracking a supercell in Floyd County Texas, near his hometown of Lubbock, when he spotted a funnel spinning up soil from the Texas Panhandle.

 About an hour later and 350 miles to the north, another veteran chaser, Verne Carlson, captured an apparently weak and short-lived tornado near Garden City, KS.

"Tornado Alley" is a new feature of our website. We'll be tracking tornadoes live all season long, so check back every day to get in on the action.
