  • Welcome to Minnesota dontcha know!

  • We had a 'Severe Nice Weather Warning' today around 2pm.

  • I was in that area last year. I looked out the window, looked down the stairs, then thought "screw it, it'd tear my basement out of the ground anyway."

    the thing never hit me, but it did shake up the cat a lot.

  • thumbs up if you noticed the cracked windshield

  • who in the world took my bagel??

  • God I wish that fucking asshole reed timmer would fucking die. He's the most annoying shit ever.

  • That's pretty fricking big!

  • So beautiful, yet so destructive...

  • Yes, Welcome to Minnesota. Where the winters are colder than Antarctica and last until April.

    The Summers? Tornado season.

  • You people are Fecking Crazy.... I think I pissed myself FOR you :O

  • DAMB NATURE YOU SKARY

  • And that one dude thought it was perfectly cool to practically drive into it. Real smart.

  • ah, good ol tornado valley, i visit there every year since i was 7, biggest damn tornado ever, its pretty fun

  • I wonder if optimus prime can survive a tornado =o?

  • damn nature you're beautiful

  • I am almost enjoying the sky more than the tornado. Sick vid.

  • my brother-in-law's parents live just outside of wadena. At least 15 ppl they knew had their homes destroyed and one of his cousins had the part of the high school roof land on his van as he was driving down the road. He somehow managed to escape out the passenger window with only bruised ribs. crazy scary

  • that car would have smelled like shit

  • I was in that thing, the first thing I said to the rescue officials is "auntie em? is that you?"

  • 2:49 Now we know what chuck norris's dick looks like

  • This is PERFECT!

  • Welcome to Minnesota

  • this is what i like about minnesota, we get the 4 seasons, and all we really get is tornados ;D

  • Nice catch, but they missed the best tornado of that day ( Kiester/Conger/Albert Lea) which occured south of this one. Thanks for this vid anyway.

  • The sky is really green in this video. They say when the sky is green in a big storm like this, a tornado is very close.........well...there's no kidding one is close by. I mean how could someone miss that? lol

  • lol at 00:52-1:05 look right beside the left side of the tornado when it split up into three parts, two went back together and one kind of looks like it's running away. XD

  • Hey Reed we'll see ya in Big Lake in March. Thanks for doing this for Wadena.

  • reeds obsesed again about radar

  • whooo hoooo that was soooo kwl i wanna be a storm chaser sooooooo bad :( i love reed x

  • Wow, great shot of the multiple vortices - how long was this one on the ground?

  • dirty pretty things!

  • I was there, that was so intense, I loved it! -sarah-

  • i wasnt in the area at the time this Tornado dropped. I was at basic :D live in Sebeka MN 15 miles from wadena

  • I was just listening to the radio in Perham just a few miles away from Wadena, looking threw the trown afterwards was horrible, the graveyard was a mess but worse of all the whole high school roof was torn off and was turned into a ball, wicket man!

  • Reed you are so cool i've been watching you on storm chasers your tornado videos are cool

  • I Remember This Day. My Aunt, Me, My Cousin, My Friend We We're All Sitting At My House And Watching A Movie Till My Aunt Got A Call From Her Mom Saying There Was A Tornado In Wadena. My Grandma Was In The Basement Place In The Hospital I Was Born In And Too My Mother And Aunts. Anyways So My Other Cousin Freaked Out As Soon As My Aunt Told Him The News. Well We All Did Sorta. But Their House Is Okay Just A Few Shingles Ripped Off. That's It. But As For The Rest Of The Town...Wow.

  • You guys do have more balls then Sean Casey - and his TIV is suppose to be tougher then the Dominator!

  • That thing is too freakin BIG!!

  • Its really hard to undrestand really what happen that day by watching this video and stormchasers.. Editing in stormchasers is really bad !!

  • @miltabib I live in the area, The Tornado tore up a high school, and a few houses in Wadena. Destroyed all the school busses too

  • Comment removed

  • I already watched this on Storm Chasers, Reed is fuckin beast so is that guy in the red OU shirt.

  • did you get any good data from the probes

  • drove by that area 2 days latter. didnt get anywhere close to the town, was on the way to park rapids but heard people living in parkrapids becuase they had to leave wadena talking about how there is stuff in their yards and have no clue where it came from. also some lady told me she never found her car.

  • i loved the season finale tonight on storm chasers!! i live east of menahga mn which is about 30 miles from wadena, i remeber this day, was something i had never seen before, we knew there was tornado warnings for wadena country but didnt know for sure where abouts the tornado was, so we went for cover just to be safe, after a while i had went outside and seen something fall from the sky, it was insulation from wadena's hit, amazing how far something can travel up in the sky

  • im planing on watching storm chasers tonight bet its going to be a good one

  • damn nature you scary

  • 1:46 You guys were REALLY close, i know you zoomed the camera but still, thats awesome!

  • Wow guys, that was amazing! I envy you... Greetings from Catamarca, Argentina.

  • That is some of the most amazing footage of a multiple vortex tornado that I have ever seen!!! Truly awesome!!! Keep up the good work!

  • i Live in Brainerd Minnesota and I remeber that day when all the storms went through Wadena then headed for Brainerd i got a funnel Cloud going over my house on camera it loooks intenese that whole month was insane for tornadoes in minnesota

  • thats huge.

  • Simply awesome.

  • EF4: 160-200 mph. Had to have been that if the intercept was just on the eastern edge of the large twister with a higher than 150 mph reading from an anemometer that had been blown clean off. Most likely had to have been 170-180 on the interior, yes?

  • oh.mg!! you guys wer like so close to my freakin house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!omg joel :) <3<3<3 ahhh!! reed xoxoxoxo i love you guys :)

  • That car going in... talk aout real cohones.....

  • Brave storm chasers and HD cameras are A perfect and deadly combination

    hell yea

  • Fuck, i remember tis storm

  • will this be on storm chasers

  • Epic hail damage at 4:28!

  • Absolutely Amazing!! Reed and Joel Dominate again! I was able to chase the NE end of this cell, but didn't see any tubes. By far one the most intense chases I've ever been on! Great job on this epic event and the entire season! Congrats on Storm Chasers too! Sorry I've been away from TVN for so long!

  • i heard it was rated an ef4 twister

  • If I had been able to chase that day (would have been my first chase) it would have been my LAST since I would never be able to top it.

  • The Dominator got dominated! Almost became an aerial intercept vehicle.

  • Yep, witchta falls TX had a wedge back in 79 (?) and it was only rated a F3, looked about 5 miles wide. A massive wedge that does no damage is an F0.

  • it could be an F1 size doesn't matter its windspeed and damage

  • Dude, i live minnesota we barely ever get tornados where i am!!!!

  • btw that tornado looks awesome ^^

  • is that reed timmer in the blue shirt at the beginning

  • Love how the vorticies dance... And I admittedly had my hand over my mouth when you crazy bastards drove into it!

  • Love how the vorticies dance... And I admittedly had my hand over my mouth when you crazy bastards drove into it! 

  • EF4 moroms, wadena got fucked over

  • It's like those things came down and said "Look at us!" Then they dissappear!!

  • i've wanted to chase storms ever since i was very young. unfortunately i live in italy, and thats the wrong place to find them :(

  • I was at a fair the day it happened with my mom. I kept telling her there was going to be a Tornado today, but NOOOOO "Theres not going to be a Tornado I would feel it". GUESS WHAT?!

  • I shit my pants when there are tornadoes...

  • so this was what i was hiding from? man, thats beyond huge. or was it, is Wadena NE to Hennepin or the Twin Cities? I must know!

  • I love tornado's, I want to chase too!

  • Talk about a truly green sky! Great tornado all the way! Hopefully I can get one on tape in the coming days. Check out my channel!

  • @1weathernut heck no! if you want tornados go somewhere els and film em! i hope this never happends again!

  • @1weathernut why the hell do people get happy over these... ( though nyc doesn't have any, so i wouldn't get it anyway)

  • 3:18 what a pair he must have

  • Comment removed

  • DANG LOOK AT THE WINDSHIELD ITS CRACKED EVERY WHERE

  • wholly mholly monster storm

  • I heard about this, I was in Wisconsin when it happened, I got a phone call from a friend , " Oh my god! Did you hear about the tornado?! It killed to woman and a man!" I was shocked, from all my time living in MN , I have never seen or heard of such a violent storm here. Tornadoes scare the living daylights out of me, After seeing all these videos, i thank god every day, because i would be at my uncles farm at the time, which is right in the heart of that tornado. This video is awesome! :)

  • reminds me of the twister movie a bit..but the guys arent throwing the machines into it!

  • DON'T underestimate the power of nature, never...

  • lol dumbass going into the tornado.

  • I was in that shit on my motorcycle! Riding back from the Black Hills SD, got stuck in this shit. I actually watched this tornado from the side of the freeway. Had to get rescued by the geneva,mn FD from the off ramp.

  • this happened on my birthday... i didn't even know this was happening... we didn't get anything in the minneapolis area.... I feel really bad for all the victims of that storm.

  • omg head for cover

  • wow the awesome power of nature

  • #OMG but F5 are very dangrereous:(

  • @anonimus238 That F4 was still pretty dangerous lol, as 25% of my town was missing afterwards. It was picking up headstones when it went through our graveyard!

  • holy shit!!! i WAS THERE!!

  • I've seen better but wow anyway u look like u need a new windsheild lol

  • How wide was that? About a mile?

  • There is like 6 freakin tornadoes!

  • Scary! I was driving back from Fargo through Wadena a day before this happened!

  • 0:48, that's what she said

  • if iwas there i would take a picture and run like hell

  • that thing is huge these wedge tornados mean business

  • omg i was not close to tht tornado but we got the hail thts size of a golf ball and the lightning, but i feel really sorry for the women tht died

  • you should saw todays tornados in minnasota it was outrages

  • I was at Mentor at the scene of the gas station where the man died the next morning...they were in shock...used their bathroon on the way to a farmer's market but at that time didn't know what had happened. Whoever shot this is NUTS to get that close. They are tempting fate in my book...!

  • Minnesota FTW thumbs up if you agree

  • damn i didnt know it was that big.. 3:00

  • @dirtbikernick thats the one my dad was by on the road about a quarter mile away

  • Thumbs up is you think all of the people who disliked this video are Viking haters.

  • I went with a team of volunteers and the destruction was hard to see. I love storm chasing but when it's this close to home it makes me wish the tornados would only touch down in empty fields...

  • @Tornadovideosdotnet was the tornado wedge near battle lake?

  • By the time this got to Grand Forks it died way down.

  • Ain't she a beaut'!

  • he he live in minnesota

  • INSANE MULTIPLE VORTEX!! GREAT VIDEO!!

  • God, I can't imagine being in one of these, I live in New Hope, MN and it was even raining and I was so freaking scared...

  • Holy shit....

    

  • wow what a video awesome work guys!

  • As a resident of Minnesota I would like to thank you for risking your lives doing this research to save the lives of people in the path of storms. I was actually helping with the clean-up after this tornado hit. It was a big mess, but only 3 people died that day in Minnesota. Out of all 21 tornadoes that hit the ground, only 3 people died. If it wasn't for you guys, more people would have died.

  • This is what happens when Chuck Norris sneezes in L.A..................the butterfly affect is a bitch

  • @mikeya1009

    Chuck Norris Sneezing?

    This is from him twirling is fingers.

  • That's my white house in frame 3.50 and the Amish farm is to the right. I spotted the tornado out of my rear sliding glass door at 4.30 and the top of it was leaning over my house and the bottom was swinging at me. I think I made it to the basement in about 3 seconds after I saw that! I thought the house was going to come down...but it turned and headed to the northeast where it eventually hit Wadena, but before it did that numerous farms were destroyed by me.

  • @rmcnnlly Why on earth would you go around destroying farms? Trying to compete with the tornado?

  • @taggartaa I think its a way of making a living.

  • @rmcnnlly i feel soooo bad for you...

  • @rmcnnlly really?

  • @rmcnnlly really? that was your house?

  • 1:37 ---> shit u see in hell . . . .

  • me and my friend josh were driving around in MN and WI trying to spot tornadoes but we didnt see anything but WICKED lightning. like im talking the lightning storm of a lifetime. it was beyond what i expected.

  • I would've shit myself.

  • just crazy! i live not to far from Wadena and have never thought to much of weather. but when its this close to home its a real wake up call. got to respect mother nature.

  • your windows are cracked

  • I could never chase tornados. Just watching videos like this makes me nervous haha

  • welcome to minnesota, frozen hell in the winter, ub3r tornadoes in the summer

  • who likes tornados. :)

  • 2:47 is the biggest tornado ive ever seen

  • and i live in minnasota and i never seen a tornado before

  • @webkinzcitrusdragon me too but i live wisconsin it just blew us

  • i live in town waden and i was at my friends about 4 blocks from where the tornado hit and it was some scary stuff it sounded like a frait train going through wadena will never be the same again..

  • Please tell me he didn't really exclaim, "Sisters!" I'll still watch the series again though.... :)

  • We don't typically get wedge tornadoes in this state. When I see them I think of the ones they get in Oklahoma and Texas. But not here.

    We've had a violent week of weather here.

  • Thats my farmhouse to the right at minute 3.41 and after. The red barns are on the Amish farm to the east of me. I spotted that tornado outside the east side of my house at approximately 4.30 and headed to the basement when I saw the base top of the tornado leaning over my house and the base beginning to swerve also towards my house.

  • I live not but 30 or so miles away from Wadena. This had to be some of the scariest weather I had seen in a long time around here. I really feel for the families that had to pick up the pieces after this tornado ripped them apart.

  • @TheJediCharles Exactly. Just because one has a fascination and a respect for the awesome raw power that our earth can produce, does not mean one doesn't value human life. I am determined to see one this summer, and I came close tonight. We got walloped again. Beautiful greenage tonight and it got quite ominous. So amazing.

    But we're good. Comments are hard to understand sometimes because you're not talking face to face. But we are on the same page. Its all good. :) No harm done.

  • They took the right vehicle on a storm chase. They used a Toyota. Much safer in they don't have to worry at all about it stopping.

  • Yet again, Scott County is missed by a storm.  If you're from Minnesota, you will notice a pattern on the radars.

  • @YouHaveMetYourMaker It's because Scott county blows!!! LOL! Just kiddin!

  • scary stuff. this storm hit us in Wausau, but it greatly weakened to just a strong thunderstorm by the time it got to us. Seems to always happen...a storm weakens when it gets to us, or strengthens after it passes by us lol My prayers go out to the families torn upside down because of these storms!

  • I'm from Wadena it was a day I will never forget. Southwest side of town is a mess this but were making progress.

  • Like we used to say in the service- time to suck sewer - find the lowest point you can and crawl into it.

  • Indubitably. I'll be needing a job application also, lol. I couldn't be a driver though, I'd wreck watching the tornado! And I totally moved to Wyoming two days shy of being able to see one!!! Damn! Looks like I'm in a perfect state for them though....here's to amateur tornado filming...lol

  • If I ever got that close I'd wet myself.

  • How far away from Emmons mn was this??

  • It is so retarded for people to say "Oh that looks like an EF4 or gotta be an F5." The Fujita Scale measures damage and calculates what the wind speed was based on the damaged caused. It has nothing to do with tornado size or what it looks like on the ground. Less than 1% of tornadoes are of EF4 strength and 0.1% are of EF5 strength. For someone to just spout off that they can tell the difference between say 198 mph wind speeds and 246 with the naked eye is just stupidity. Especially in a wedge.
