Dallas Movie: Real Tornado Warning Sirens City of Dallas

Tornado Warning Sirens Going Off in Dallas! Here is video I took with my digital camera. I was at a friend's house when the storm rolled in. This was taken in the City of Dallas and you can hear the tornado sirens. I heard at least three different ones at one time. Then is started to hail really bad. The hail lasted about 5 minutes. There was lots of hail and it was really dark. The hail is hard to see on the camera because of how dark it got. I couldn't hear the sirens through the hail storm. Once the hail stopped, it was raining heavily and sirens could be heard again. I have lived in Dallas my whole life (except college) and have only heard the tornado sirens activate for a tornado warning three times. This was the longest I have every heard them run. I would say they ran for at least 30 minutes. I have heard them tested on Wednesdays, but rarely do we ever have to use them for a real tornado like today.
Dallas Movie: Severe Storm Footage

Early this evening, 4-13-07, we had some tornado warnings and severe storms. The footage I got looked relatively harmless but that storm caused at least one tornado in the Metroplex. There was a lot of damage reported and at least one fatality. I am just an amateur and I needed some practice. So I took some footage. There are different sequences. A little hail, some tornado sirens, wind blowing trees, and dark clouds. I'm sure if you search more youtube videos some locals of the DFW area have some similar footage uploaded to the site. Update: This storm caused two fatalities, not one as mentioned in the video. Also it is said that there may have been 3-5 tornadoes involved in the storm. As you may be able to tell, I was inspired by the movie 'Twister' as I edited this. Music is by Ilya Gordon-"Hang On" available for free download at download.com.

This scene was shot BEFORE the movie was released in Oct 2007, we were working from the script and having fun... who knew it would become such a famous scene. This is a directed scene for a Production Class. Written by Joel and Ethan Coen. Played in the original film by Academy Award winning actor Javier Bardem & actor Gene Jones. from Miramax Films: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is a mesmerizing new thriller from Academy Award® winning filmmakers Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winning American master Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug-runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. Featuring a cast that includes Academy Award®-winner Tommy Lee Jones ("The Fugitive," "Men in Black"), Josh Brolin ("Grindhouse"), Academy Award®-nominee Javier Bardem ("The Sea Inside"), Academy Award®-nominee Woody Harrelson ("The People Vs. Larry Flynt") and Kelly Macdonald ("Trainspotting"), NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is written for the screen and directed by Joel Coen & Ethan Coen, produced by Scott Rudin, Ethan Coen & Joel Coen and executive produced by Robert Graf and Mark Roybal. The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (BROLIN) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (JONES) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (BARDEM) - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.
