[txbadgirl1]

The silence in this video is almost as scary as the noise that the storms produce....

[damon713]

Lucky it was not closer to your area. That is a big one, was anyone killed from it.

[bryan1097]

missmelissa12345 is right. I've been a storm chaser for almost 12 years now, and that is unmistakebly a wall cloud that spawned a tornado, not the actual tornado.

[bryan1097]

missmelissa12345 is right. I've been a storm chaser for almost 12 years now and that is unmistakebly just the wall cloud that spawed the tornado.

[Bratzgal38]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

[Peterpufferbelly]

where are the sirens???!

[IKILLGAYZ]

they are probably in dyersburg tey dont have one but after the storm they decided they were going to build one there

[ThaSchwab]

Civil sirens can be and usually are destroyed due to high winds.

[jedlongeway]

I was sleeping when the 2nd one went down

[missmelissa12345]

its possible thats just the supercell cloud and you actualy arent seeing the tornado itself, the clouds that make tornadoes usualy dip down pretty low in the center and the tornado(es) come out of the bottom of that

[stormchaser5399]

Correct. This is NOT the actual tornado itself. You are actually looking at the violently rotating wall cloud that produced the tornado. The remainder of the shot shows the mesocylone very well organized, and rotating nicely. Nice clip.

[Bonilla577]

man i will be so scared if i was close one of em

[Cchrisbud813]

That is humungous. How wide did the National Weather Service say it was?

[jeepgirl101]

dude that is soooo awsome!!!! was it scary?

[davidtherockstar568]

was that whole thing seriously the tornado!?!?

i remember having an F-3 in phoenix, az a while back but that was the biggest one to hit our county.

[indemnis4]

hope you were wearing your brown undies!

[flippythedog01]

WIN

[xsomeguyx101]

where did you film this from? It looks like Cordova or Arlington. I watched the Hickory Hill twister from my office off of 78 and and didnt look like this one. just curious.

[BeechSundowner]

Durn, pretty large for a EF2!

[ProfessorIgor]

size doesn't matter... it's all about velocity and the damage done when rating them.

[ILovestorms]

I have heard that the F4s and F5s (now EF4's and EF5's) are not always the big fat ones that may be over 1000 yards wide.

[Cchrisbud813]

The largest tornado ever seen happened in 2004. It was 2.5 miles wide, but it was only an F4 (back before the EF scale).

[nenekiche]

no me gustaría estar cerca de ahí

[bluecollarteen]

we had an F4 here in Hardin County TN. It was about the size of that one, it was aboslutely HUGE.I'm a volunteer firefighter and we had 3 fatalities.

[slappy1234567]

Nice footage.

[ljmccraw]

what neighborhood is this?

[tuckerjhh]

i live 5 min away from their

[benz4life]

i live 5 min away from there not their

[bbqispower]

lol

[iluvlost09]

What area was this? I was live in Bartlett near Raleigh and it got like, super dark over where I was, and it suddenly got all hot so we thought it was about to hit our area but it didn't.

[moonglow38]

was it really that quiet when you recorded that? Usually you hear a roaring sound with tornado's but I also know sometimes it can be really super still and quiet before one hits...but this one was already on the ground. creepy how quiet it was..no wind, no rain..weird.

[LiveToThink]

he's AT LEAST a mile away maybe up to 5

[clifsnotes]

The twister was about 3 miles away.

[bigyiko]

Yes, it was

[nbtriker]

livetothink, no offence but don't hurt urself there

~nbtriker

[vegetarox1995]

TO moonglow:I know that would be creepy and Surprising!!

[pinkpinklov3]

what part of tn was this? Im in Jackson and there was one less than a mile from us. Scary but thank God we and our whole neighborhood is safe.

[mxbronco]

[abercrombiebabe092]

[wksanders]

I was in Arlington when this one came by.  I got a few good shots on my cell phone.

[ScorpESC]

[tifferina]

[clifsnotes]

Yes, CNN and NBC purchased the right to broadcast several of my video clips of this twister.

[laptopcors]

[btvsgglvr18]

yep i was in my daycare where i work with 14 screaming 3 year olds when i saw it in the sky.

[bw2082]

In 1994 the thanksgiving weekend tornado that hit Germantown went down my driveway, snapped some trees, and hit my high school

[waylay00]

Houston?

I remember that one. I lived in Halle Plantation, just about a mile away.

[jwesley1879]

97 graduate here from Houston High...I also lived in Halle Plantation, though not for that tornado. I moved there about two months after...Gallina Circle! :)

[waylay00]

Sweet, Willow Reade Cove for me. Moved about two years ago though.

[psshhtmr2]

Yea I am in Southaven and I saw it forming but my tree line got in the way and I didn't feel getting and chasing after it ;)

[mustanglover410]

man i was in germantown what a wild night it has been

[bw2082]

Damn I was in Germantown and it was headed right at my house according to the radar but passed slightly west of me.

[ProfessorIgor]

a wedge tornado in February.... what a wild year this has been !!

[shocker0]

Did they pay you for them lol

[JohnJohn1186]

my capture was @ 4:54pm around the wolfchase mall

[DjTenn08]

Dude what time was this at i live in tennesee too.

[slobzsuck]

are you in memphis tennessee? if you are then you must be in bartlett or cordova.

[JohnJohn1186]

nice one man...i got some footage of a twister today too =]

[camaroracer454]

Wow man...Are you ok, along with your house and loved ones? I mean not to say it hit where you are...but...Wow dude

[clifsnotes]

We're all ok. This one just went through empty fields.

[prmedia6483]

surprised the news hasn't showed your video on tv yet... or maybe they did and i just missed it.

[clifsnotes]

Some of my other video clips of this event are currently airing on CNN and WMC-TV.
