Chase video from Newton, Kansas severe weather outbreak March 23rd 2009 across Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas. Video starts out as we are driving SW on I-135 towards Newton, Kansas. 2nd views show storm approaching from ssw at 45mph. Storm pulls a severe right and develops a well defined wall cloud as we are heading north on hwy 15. We stopped to get some footage of wall cloud. Then continued following it for another 50 miles northeast. Video finishes with a wide angle long range shot of second funnel cloud after the storm had completed its 3rd recycling. Enjoy and try to spot the funnel clouds at 0:44-0:58 and 1:35-1:40. Chasers: Daniel Henz, Dima Smirnov, Bryan Heth, Hunter Straus, Chris Manzeck
