Twister???

[koenieboyE6]

small landspout, not a real tornado

[beccabull81]

yes

tornados pick up debris just like on your video

[AJTwister97]

tornadoes definatley. the rotation is weak but it is noticable

[snakeeyes3883]

this is a very massive updraft..updrafts can be windy as mild tornado, and often mistaked as such. this updraft is caused by warm air rising up towards the cold front. which these drafts can also be precurses to tornados, hence the rotation that is apparent in this video. if you look closely, there is rotation.

my diagnosis, this an updraft, THAT MAY HAVE spawned a tornado..but probably would have been a short lived one if at all

[Arc0n3]

Downburst ;)



[adam210797]

super film i bez efektów specjalnych naprawde to w pieckach byłem tam i znam ten las i widziałem szkody love piecki

[XxCaMoXxSnIpErXx]

yes, I have seen vids of these before, this is only and F0 tornado

[Landotter1]

Doesn't look like a tornado to me. No rotation I could see. I have seen this berfore and it is the storm gathering moisture and building explosively. It is basically scud on steroids. Scud behaves in the same manner. Low level moisture rising, condensing, andmeeting with the base of the storm. This is just my opinion. I wasn't there to see it but I have seen this before.

[Thunderstruck401]

This is a Tornado

[EliteAmericans]

Certainly could be. I'd guess it was a landspout or dust tube tornado, possibly getting hit with a strong gust front or RFD and that killed it

[SMITEM1]

Im a meteorologist, yes, its a multaple vortacie tornado. Theyre hard to see, but you can see them a few times. Its a tornado for sure because it has a condensaion funnel ( funnel made out of clouds )

[Cha0sReigns]

@SMITEM1 Fail. Go back to school.

[SMITEM1]

@Cha0sReigns fine, then YOU tell me what it is :P

[Cha0sReigns]

@SMITEM1 It is definitely not a multiple VORTEX tornado. It is a single vortex tornado that is barely able to keep together and is an EF-0. Like I said, go back to school and learn the context of what you are talking before you let your fingers fly. The only reason why it is not a gustnado is due to the fact that there is a small debris field near the base of the column of air.

[SMITEM1]

@Cha0sReigns I can see your point, and there is a such thing called a multiple vortecie tornado, you can even ask Josh Wurman... (leader of VORTEX 2)

[Cha0sReigns]

@SMITEM1 Notice that I never said there was not such a thing as a "multiple vortices tornado", I said that you need to check the context of how you are using the word. When defining a tornado that is producing multiple vortexes or vortices, it is referred as a multiple vortex tornado.

[SMITEM1]

@Cha0sReigns No need to get mad about it, im human, humans MAKE MISTAKES!!

[Cha0sReigns]

@SMITEM1 Agreed, to err is human. Good hunting!

[KlipsiGeneva]

looks to me like rapidly rising scud clouds but I don't see rotation, so it may just have missed the tornado world. Also, I see no wall cloud ( from where a real tornado usually appears ) but rather a near-flat base, so it could have been rapidly rising scud in a unstable airmass that would have produced a landspout rather than a real tornado, had there been more rotation.

[george2fast4u]

It's definetly a tornado.  May not be strong enough to be classified though.

[chrisjames1962]

EF-0 tornado

[lesorciercalifornien]

relatively weak multiple-vortex tornado. probably EF-1 intensity.

[cbaxter93]

yes that is a twister just not a very configured vortex dont be fooled by those people thats some rare footage that just ment the under flowing winds wernt strong enough witch those undefinde vortex are also well known to fourm into wedge tornados

[M9ACRStinger69]

Nice Catch I'm thinking... Maybe F-1 F-2?

[nyxong24]

F-0 or F-1 Tornado beautiful catch :)

[OrangefuryMyHedgehog]

i had to watch it over and over to get a thery i think its a small tornado forming but is near a fire therefore the smoke is going up into the twister :)

[scruffziller]

It's the time vortex from Donnie Darko.

[Tahima11]

I'm going to go with a small multivortex tornado.

[EliteAmericans]

sure looks like a twister or at least a gustnado

[xXBioNadeXx]

Yes it's a small twister... nothing special... but the twister was only forming...

[calpol1001]

Loos like a gustnado or whirlwind to me

[dustindust151]

yes it is

[ALEX4LUV43]

if it didnt twist and just rise i'd think it was smoke but since it is twisting it is a tornado...its like a hesitant tornado..it doesnt know whether or not to stay on the ground or go up

[GenieBella]

It's looks odd. But I think it's a tornado.

[GhostXoP]

its a tornado, if things are being drawn up from thr ground, and not pulled left or right in the sky, it may classify as a weak, f0 tornado, (it didnt look organized)

[GrimmieXII]

I beleive it's a small multiple vortex tornado, probably wasn't too dangerous but there might have been some hail damage in the area.

[progress2007]

i've seen videos of structures like this here on youtube though. definitely a phenomenon that can occur in the context of a tornadic storm cloud obviously.

Poland is really having interesting weather!

[Horse2411]

sans doute c peut etre une tornade F3

[JacoskrecexD]

Co  to jest?

[Narutololalover132]

wow the twister didnt look like it ever truly hit the ground. It didnt look that right

[pronintendogamer96]

Wow you can see the rotation but...its moving up bizzarr never seen a formation like that but hey maybe thats just me im not an expert

[jvbentley070770]

Zierek i am a ceritified storm chaser in the usa known as "SKYWARN" from what it looked like in the video it was.... to me a landspout tornado theres no wall cloud from what ive noticed so it defenatly was a landspout tornado, they arrange in the stages EF0-EF3 anywhere from 65-130 mph wind gust ,so just thank god you and your family were safe... nice video of twister action there... god bless ya

[doggy711]

it is funnel cloud which never touched the ground because of the temperature differnece. the funnel cloud is cold condensde water. but the ground is a lot warmer so it keeps on pushing it up. therefore it is unlikely it willbe a tornado. if it is a tornado it is a very week and short lived one

[luv2dancelikeapro]

it's a funnel cloud that never touched the ground

[lykeeze]

updraft , into meso

[ThunderboltPS]

i think it is a tornado

[Tankred16]

KOlo Gizycka, near Gizycko

[landryneczka190]

w Pieckach to było...tych niedaleko Olsztyna??/:P

[wiiluigi1998]

its a landspout

[stormybear]

Yep, that's a tornado. Awsome vid.

[flyingfan11]

ive had enough of your lame comebacks.your cluttering my inbox with your retarted messages,no your the one whos goning to be F***ing yourself now,so go do it!

[flyingfan11]

lil f***er? thats lame. just like you doush bag

[flyingfan11]

your wrong you dont know anything about toradoes compared to what i know! you probably just sit on you ass all day and do nothing!

[Teigokane]

No need to apology. :-) It is not very well known that tornadoes are a rather frequent phenomen in Europe as well as in the US, though we experience less tornadoes. The ratio of weak and violent tornadoes is the same as in the US, but there are less tornadoes than in the US. Germany, for example, was hit by the last F5 in 1800 and by the last F4 in 1968. Since then, we had some F3. But an F5 could strike again at any time. The last F5 in Europe was in 1970 in Venice AFAIK.

[Teigokane]

This is not completely correct. While the US have switched from the F scale to the EF scale, in Europe, I still see the old F scale being used much more frequently than the EF scale. Also, the T (Torro) scale is very popular in Europe. And as this tornado appeared in Poland, the use of the F scale instead of the EF scale is more correct, IMHO.

[Teigokane]

That's nonsense!

1. To be classified as a tornado, it HAS to be on the ground! Not being on the ground is NO criterium for an F0 rating, not being is a criterium for NOT classifying a funnel as a tornado!

2. The (E)F scale uses damage to estimate wind speed. Without knowing what damage this tornado did, you cannot say which rating on the F scale it should get!

3. an F0 IS capable of killing people because of debris flying around!

[flyingfan11]

your nonsense!!!! the funnel is not fully developed!!!! it has to be a fully-on the ground tornado to be an ef-1 or more!!! and if the tornado has no chance of reaching the ground,then you can play in it!!! the winds arent that forceful when the tornado ist even on the freakin ground yet!!! PS. i was just giving an opinion!!! get a life!!

[Teigokane]

1. This is not about opinions but about scientific facts.

2. From this film, it isn't clear whether the funnel is on the ground or not.

3. To be classified as F0, it has to be on the ground as well. The F scale is only used for tornadoes and NOT for funnel clouds! And a tornado is defined, among other criteria, by touching the ground. And still, an F0 can kill you with debris.

Please, get your facts right and avoid talking about things you don't know anything about. Thanks.

[Teigokane]

That's wrong as well. The F scale is defined by damage done by the tornado and wind speed estimated through this damage. The funnel has to be on the ground to become a tornado and to get a rating on the F scale. So, every F0 has to be on the ground as well as every F5. Please search for Fujita scale on Wikipedia to get your facts right. Thanks.

[flyingfan11]

wikipidia is wrong!!! morons go on there and put random not right junk on there!!!

[Teigokane]

Guy, it's getting ridiculous! Google for "enh. fujita page". You will find a page of the storm prediction center of the NOAA. They say the same as Wikipedia:

"The Fujita Scale is a well known scale that uses damage caused by a tornado and relates the damage to the fastest 1/4-mile wind at the height of a damaged structure."

And PLEASE, don't tell me now that NOAA is also wrong! It's the site of the US National Weather Service! That's where the ultimate tornado experts work! ;-)

[pimppimpdoodlydoo]

yup, f0-f1 twister. visible, but totally harmless for the most part.

[Teigokane]

yeah, totally harmless. Must be the reason why F1 have killed people in the past - because they are totally harmless. ;-)

The wind speeds of a F0 or F1 tornado are strong enough to kill people if debris is flying around.

[pimppimpdoodlydoo]

lots of "if" to go with. "if" there was dedris flying around, the people should've stayed inside. that was their own fault. f0's are in fact completely harmless. they may move some small things like paper of pebbles, but nothing big enough to kill. no where near fast enough either.

[poppi1994]

i really think its an f0 to f1 tornado ...

[UltimateDarkloid]

Well, what the others said. A tornado that never matured.

And I like how everyone who gave reasonable explanations got thumbs down on their comments.

[Theblackampithere]

it looks like a weak vortex. at some points in the video, at about 0:29, you can see its funnel

[naderchaser]

Man, you guys really need to get into the field more often. That is a tornado all the way. You can't see what is going on at ground level, because it is beyond and below what is shown here. This thing is just getting started....

[Younrubby]

Yes this is a twister...

But the air didn't condense, so you can't see a funnel.

[dragonridley]

I don't see any rotation. It's probably a scud bomb.

[wytehayz]

Like Shotokan said, it's just a weak vortex. Didn't have enough air to turn into a full-blown tornado.

[tkdalexitf]

add some music ;)

[VanAllan5]

yeah its definitely a funnel i really dont know if its in contact with the ground otherwise it would be a tornado but from my viewpoint its just a funnel but yeah it is definitely a funnel cuz you can see the updraft and the anti-cyclonic rotation.

[potalek]

moze sie zaczynalo tworzyc...

[ShotokanTanto]

It is a weak vortex. It is probably not fast enough to call a real tornado. The minimum speed is 72 mph. Vortecies pop up all over, some just have a cloud or enough debris to see them, but most are invisible and hardly noticabe. All storms eventually have some rotating part and a true tornado comes from a strong cold front overriding a warm front with enough tension to force the air to funnel through a tight gap. This is cool but I am convinced it doesn't qualify as the real thing.

[kingpaolo17]

somebody open the door of hell hahaha!!

[Dvoracekmara]

Hi, nice video, probabli small tornado or near strong tromb...im drunk, he, but this is not funny...tornados are dangerous things!

[mikesworld1665]

on long island not really my uncle lives down in texas so i see alot of action down there

[Familyguy098]

its a tornado it is one of those fart cloud tornadoes

[mikesworld1665]

its actually a multi vortex tornado i am a storm chaser from long island ive seen this shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blingn421]

Do you chase alot of storms out there on Long island? HA!

[SCWXA]

Shut your pie hole kid. He can chase stuff in Long Island don't be a player hater

[TomynhoSk]

A multi vortex tornado is my opinion... Rotation is evident. MickeyMacDallas wasn't that wrong... If he meant F1 because it's size, it's false, if he meant F1 because it is multi vortex, it is more true... Because multiple vortex tornadoes in most cases reach intensity at least F2.

[shawncollier1970]

This is known as a Gustnado. These are small upward wind gust with rotation that can cause considerable damage if they make contact with something.

[frosty956]

no its not a gustnado, gustnados are ground level, basically like whirlwinds/dust devils, this is definitely originating from the cloud

[EliteAmericans]

@frosty956 Looks like it has multiple vorticies as well

[breki2]

thats fucking spooky it looks like its a ufo sucking up people for testing

[CakesPix]

the people in the clouds is awesome

[mewmiki]

twister thats a twister all right.

[redduck60]

dude its a twister!!!!!

[StudioVepeka]

I Think Its A Downburst Or Microburst

[TsukasaUltima]

Man i wanna see one up close..

[MickeyMacDallas]

That is definitely a tornado, and an F1 because it has a multiple vortex.

[aghinem]

Actually, the F-scale is based on damage, not on twister size or number of vortices it produces. While there is a significant updraft, the rotation is very weak. I would call it a landspout at most.

[KWEKOSHKUKI12]

it is a torndo cus it has a spinning motion

[jbloverx500]

eich heimer snitzerdoodle mazurskie

[Tornadina]

ja to bym powiedziala że to jest tornado w skali F minus 1 xD ale no taka nie istnieje xDD

[Lukaszwierz]

Tak to jest tornado siła w skali fujity f0 :) Praktycznie nie czyni zniszczeń

[NydusSageRyade]

confirmed. tornado. in fact tornadoes have happened before in poland. there NOT just a thing specific to the US. since 1974, the UK has had 400 tornadoes.

[TheTornadoChaser]

A tornado was reported and confirmed in Balcerzowice, near Strzelce Opolskie, Silesia, southern Poland, August 16, 2008that resulted in the deaths of three people causing several others to be injured as well as extensive property damage along its path.

[jedilamb]

twister yes

[Juggalos22]

yep a twiztir

[tremer88]

if it was windier that day that could have became a good tornado. that was a low pressure area cause by the sudden winds moving up into the clouds

[dabrat242]

yeah its just a really small weak twister that cant do much severe damage to anything around it

[cysiek17]

silna była burza poprzedzająca tornado?>?? były zapowiedzi że będą silne burze??były jakieś zniszczenia??daleko byleś od miejsca gdzie dotknęło ziemi??:D

[Zierek]

Nie pamiętam burz. Nie było żadnych zniszczeń.

Budynki, które są pokazane na filmie znajdowały się w odległości około 50 metrów ode mnie.

[cysiek17]

Zierek gdzie to dokładnie było??? w jakim województwie??

[Zierek]

warmińsko-mazurskie

Piecki koło Mrągowa

[Kannnas]

My first idea was that is a butterfly but now I know that's Al gandhi

[Streetdancerka]

hey mensen

In Polen Twister .?

ja het was maar in 2003 2007 of zo

maar dat was niet zo groot!

hyhy

yes it is a tornado but small!

in Polen is only small !

[dragonfreakE]

it is a tornado just a f0 becasue its really weak not much really try jumping in it jk lol

[Mystery2ya]

Tornado. You can tell from the clouds, the bottom of it moving up, and how it's shaped. It may not have moved much but its a tornado.

[FuzzyGrandma2015]

F0, weak rotation and probably very little damage done if any, probably mostly to grass.

[DerMuedeTod]

definite tornado. just look at the rotation of the clouds

[fragles131]

jakby niebo wciągało ludka, a potem go wypluło, lub bardziej wyrzygało.

[aaronu10]

it is a tornado look at the sky

[akselders2]

is that a tornado?!?!?! im confused sorry to say i have never been in a tornado ALMOST soo close when i was a baby in 1996 in St. Peter :0 my dad taped it

[Fuzzyblaa100]

is that a first recorded in poland?

[Zierek]

No.

[glae95]

What time were you shooting this thing? Because if it was in the afternoon I would be freaking out! Great job!

[Zierek]

18.06.2006

8:40PM

[glae95]

ok thanks!

[ravens0uthard]

yes it is a tornado

[naderchaser]

Hell yes, this is a tornado. Congratulations. I'm a veteran U.S. chaser (over 20yrs.experience) so you can be sure it is. It's also called a "multi-vortex" tornado, as each of those 3 vortexs near the end of the video prove. Each one was probably strong enough to lift a roof off a home, or kill a person. Congratulations!!

[tuttle63]

looks like A funnel cloud that is turning into a tornado..

cool to see a video from Piecki , My father was born at Szlarnia (Glashütte). I am from Canada and I would like to visit sometime

[polishchaser1]

To oczywiście tornado(trąba powietrzna) ale bardzo słaba - EF-0, przecież bardzo dobrze widoczna jest rotacja, silny prąd wstępujący i co najważniejsze jest kontakt z ziemią co stanowi wystarczający czynnik klasyfikujący to jako tornado.

[antipopular0]

woah. i think that was a twister

[NeuroziPL]

A cholera wie co to... ale jest ZAJEBIASZCZE!:D

[maly648]

to jest chyba trąba powietrzna

[Matt130pl]

i was there because my grandparents live in piecki and i go there every summer, when it happend everyone was on the treats but it wasnt a twister or anything like that. this guy told everyone it was something ealse but i had no clue what he was talking about :P

[Zierek]

I know that it wasn't twister. I think it was something like smoke rising by wind.

[Matt130pl]

yea i think it was that

[kodiakal9]

Looks like a "polish sausage tornado", they rarely get above F1, and if they do they are often called Braut Twister...

[DrylineMedia]

Most certainly caught yourself a tornado trying to form there! Good catch!

[MousketeerMaiden]

Thats crazy
