Lisius intercepted three tornadoes in A southwest Oklahoma. "This is the best torna- do footage I've shot since 2004, and I've seen RLINGTON, TX — Prairie Pictures's cine- matographer and StormStock founder, about 70 since then, so I'm very pleased with the results. It's very difficult to get a truly pho- togenic tornado. You've got to have perfect atmospheric conditions to get the right look."
