[IronfistAmerican]

Good vid. 

[9215Justin]

Looks like a Swear- a- thon in that car

[swwatson1]

@9215Justin Yeah, nice language

[MrNostalgiaX]

Damn that's the worst position to be in during a tornado. Stuck on the highway in bumper to bumper traffic with a bunch of other idiots in your way. Could you imagine if it was an EF-3 or stronger?

[panicandfoblvr]

typical 95 traffic...

[prutyladyd07]

Was all the cursing necessary though? LOL I was in this same tornado. I was at home in Fairfax. i was standing outside when I saw it coming toward our building. I ran and hid in a parking garage, but wish I had a camera to capture it throwing stuff around the parking lot. I was about 5 miles to the East of you guys on 95.

[yesiamanalien]

Nice.. yea lucky it wasn't very strong. However the way you told the story over the phone it sounded like an EF3 lol.

[paulanpipey]

It was a bit rain and wind u tits

[daoc76]

@paulanpipey it wasnt rain and wind u dooche even at 3 secs in u can clearly see the funnel

[Biggerbyte]

Fuck you stormzip with your hick. You are the retard with your mouth full of shit. Yous feelin' me, asshole?

[TorstenHippe]

Mittendrin statt nur dabei! =)

Grüße aus Deutschland!

[CrazedSquirrel]

Virginia hasn't been very lucky with natural disasters this year. I can only expect zombies next.

[happystance9able]

Great footage. Probably within only a 1 minute or so, that very tornado was doing f2 damage to houses. You were extremely lucky.

[stormzip]

ya sound like 2 retarded hicks!

[TheMeriale]

That was some great footage. It past by my house by less than a 1/4 mile. And not a single warning alarm sounded. Houses were getting torn the hell up. They sounded the alarm 30 miles away. Where it didn't hit.. Nice job VA Weather services.. Thanks for sharing this so people can see what the hell we have to deal with all the time..

[InsaneStormChaser]

Right under the mesocyclone nice video guys

[princessbridesmaid]

damn that is like so surprising see this tornado actually appear. Although it not as strong but wow it did spin up some little flying debris in beginning. I totally don't blame you for cursing matter of fact I almost did same thing whenever I see hail also besides tornado wise.

[PyroChemicals2]

Yeah it was weak, you were lucky - you probably could have ever stood up in it.

[fjhfjftgjdfhgfj]

looks like a EF-0

[LauraK412]

You guys stayed pretty calm- and no jerky motions with the camera- nice job! thanks for sharing~!

[MizzNenaLaflare]

this video just had me crackin up "dude is that a tornado?" ... you should send it off to a news station though ...

[Coachrob36]

hey looking at that thing you have a right to say that LOL...hope you stayed safe!

[jroll2lo]

Thanks for posting- I was probably a few cars in front of behind your truck yesterday. My husband thought I was exaggerating, so I'm showing him the video as proof!

[TeamInsaneRCRacing]

@jroll2lo all of us was very lucky it had just started building up and wasnt that strong yet if it would had been a big one we would have been trapped due to the nova traffic .. even though it was small that was very cool to see that close up

[ldkspardadeuce]

Not that bad... Not even EF-1 standards. A 68mph EF-0?

[DrJGrange]

Who needs the TIV or the Dominator??

[779951981]

Badass footage! That was close!

[gelkins74]

Great post guys!

[taylorspa]

Guess this won't be on the weather channel. Good job anyways.

[JCpatriots]

@taylorspa It already is on the weather channel's website.

[niselat]

Tornado? Virginia? October? WTF?

[SilvaryHealar]

@niselat I used to live in Virginia. It wasn't uncommon to be slapped into a tornado watch in October or even late winter! Crazy weather down there, I swear.

[wgjpinoy654]

Wow, that is insane! With all those foliage debris! Super scary. Wicked and awesome video!

[CenLAStormSpotters]

Hey, THAT WAS AMAZING and I would hace givin my Left NUT to have been in that Car with you guys, ha :-)

Great Job Documenting and Recording the Twister/Storm, not many people get tgat close to one besides storchasers

[OttBallOut]

Where on I-95 were you? What exit?

[deepinspace1]

@OttBallOut exit 150A... you can see it in the video

[OttBallOut]

I think we must have had a friggin funnel cloud directly over our house...**In Reston

[AndrizzleCheck]

Don't edit the language... language expresses the emotion during the situation.

People who complain about language are either hypocritical or haven't experienced much.

[lmcdon11]

Awesome: yea no need to edit i be saying a lot worse then that but thank god it was a low F-1. cause a F-3 or higher you be filming your own deaths Scary and everyone in that traffic Jam.

[timtogo22]

No Need to Edit..It's what happened and your real experience ..thank God it wasn't a huge Mother F*cker ..or there be more Holy Sh*t's .. :)

[ImA1032]

Cows! We've got cows!

[klberkey]

That language didn't bother me. Shit happens. And apparently tornadoes do too.

[calibersxt07]

that was insane reed just posted this link on his facebook page

[muggl3z]

That's amazing!!! You two were so calm it was eerie. You're very lucky it was weak! :D

[MasterJediKyleKatarn]

Which direction were you headed, north or south?

[truckboy59]

Sweet Intercept, sorry Im a stormchaser at heart and thats my hobby. Also Reed Timmer brought me here fyi

[HorrorTVChannel]

cool. Especially the Storm Chasers comments...Reed promo'd your video.

[Stonetress]

wow! Reed told me about this too!!!

[GhostHuntersUploader]

Reed Timmer brought me here!! :D

[lmk001]

Luckily it was maybe an f1 f2. still scary though for sure

[bholcomb14]

Sounds like you've seen or are fans of the Storm Chasers show. haha. awesome video from a storm chaser in Oklahoma

[TeamInsaneRCRacing]

@bholcomb14 yea i have been watching storm chasers for years they catch some awesome video it has to be a huge rush to be close to the big ones they see i would love to ride along with them on a chase one day

[bellawitz85]

LOL...I'd have been cursing as well. Nice capture!

[girlgambler5]

Hey I would be cussing too if I was in it. Leave it like it is.

Awesome, glad everyone was ok.

[TeamInsaneRCRacing]

Yea sorry about the language I'm gonna edit a video without it and post I guess for now you can mute it haha

[Saikano2012]

@TeamInsaneRCRacing need not censor. Free Speech protects what you said.

[debitee]

@TeamInsaneRCRacing I love the comment one of you made "it aint an f-5 or nothin" oh man,that cracks me up! I would have been saying a lot more.

[SilvaryHealar]

@TeamInsaneRCRacing Aw, I just muted it! I don't blame you for strong language. I probably would have been... um... wetting myself. AND cussing! LOL

[cupcakesftw01]

Too bad for the naughty language. id love to show this to my science teacher.

[sbg1977]

Awesome video! Even the guys from The Weather Channel can't get footage like that!!

[biggiedakid]

damn rush hour traffic in between the HOV merge and fredricksburg.... gotta love it and add a tornado... damn smh, ive sat in that shit a many of days..

[avaiae]

Nice!!! Good to see you're ok after that!
