Look at that voooooortex! :D

EF4 with winds estimated at 195 mph. 51 people died in Tuscaloosa.

[GillFan26]

How about EF4-EF5.

[Hartford1992]

That is extreme. However, this is not a wedge tornado. A wedge is one that is wider than it is tall. In any case, amazing video.

I like it when the guy says "Its Gone" um no, dummy its rain wrapped now..

[SupremeAmerican]

@InspiredTalent84 he meant gone as in away from them. 'dummy'

[InspiredTalent84]

@SupremeAmerican I still think it was rain wrapped..

[SupremeAmerican]

@InspiredTalent84 nobody said it wasnt rain wrapped

This is my 2nd favorite video of the Tuscaloosa tornado. My 1st favorite video was the one where the group of Mexicans shot the tornado's huge funnel as it approached about 300 feet away in an apartment complex :)

[MrGSWAGG92]

I still cannot believe how fast that thing was moving!! I mean it looks like its moving extremely slow but its really movig at about 50 - 60 mph!!!!

"Damn, you guy have way bigger balls than me." "I would've gotten the "F" outta there!"

[Bororeed]

What's amazing about this particular video is that you see, within close range, of where it goes from forest to city in no time at all. At the same time, you can clearly hear the tornado's sound change to become much louder as it starts destroying the north edge of the treament plant the heads into the industrial area on 35th St. near I-359.

Incredible, man. Instead of getting the shit fuck out of there, you filmed it as it passed and got the footage of a lifetime.

[HURRICANEWILMA]

GREAT VIDEO ! 

[eric44ups]

Wow that was a good video there.

[vanni9283]

So how close did this beast of a wedge pass from you?

[sgmken]

@vanni9283  Less then a quarter of a mile.

[vanni9283]

@sgmken

Man, look at that rotation!!!

[tgraul3]

@sgmken It could have turned to you in matter of seconds and you would have nowhere to go. Quit risking your life like that!!
