Tornadic Cell Rotating over my grandparents house.

[Stickymajorwow]

I would have shit in my pants if I saw that

[Polar1zed]

@stormtracker05 well i aint about to do no trigonometry but judging by the angle and the altitude i don't say it's very far off at all. Certainly within a dangerous proximity if the whole thing touched down at once.

[LEGOACDC123]

wow only an F1 tornado thats weak it can only do little damage because its so sknny

[Polar1zed]

@LEGOACDC123 go stand in front of one.

[MissSlipknotJordison]

@LEGOACDC123 Actually, looks are deceiving! An F1 tornado could be a half mile wide & still be an F1. An F5 tornado could be as skinny as a rope & do maximal damage. & I live in Connecticut where we get F1 tornadoes. One hit in Bridgeport in June & it was supposedly an F1 or F2 & it did a lot of damage to that town & it's still being repaired, so don't say those do "little damage". Like that Polar1zed person said, go stand in front of one. See if your opinion changes about F1 tornadoes.

[RayRoark2009]

Did the tornado hit

[Polar1zed]

@RayRoark2009 it hit a field caused no damage to life. Destroyed some crops though.

[RayRoark2009]

@Polar1zed omg thats still something though. Did you hear about the one we had hear in Kentucky on April 24, 2010 and that i had to go to corbin wal-mart to take shelter, it was wild

[laura20022004]

Oh SNAP.........there it is mean ass cloud

[psydrui23]

just for the record a storm can spawn a wedge tornado and it can cause ef-1 damage. size on a tornado doesn't make it stronger.

[Janetjacksongurl]

I would have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off..... and people have guts to go outside and film this LOL

Ooh. That looks really dark and ominous.

[supercoolmunkee]

haha is that a gun in the background!?

[wtfborat]

you shouldn't be staying under a rotating wall cloud :)

[babyboy21209]

hell yea brah!!!

[LudvikM94]

Scary, man even at my pc!. I'am travelling to NC next thursday, can't wait but little bite affraid for this kind of stuff.

[dragonridley]

I read your description a wedge tornado isn't necessarily an F4 or F5. It just means it's big. F1 and even F0 tornadoes have been wedges.

[stomp919]

Its getting ready to drop. Me and my friend chashed tomatoes for quite a few years but only saw one rope tomato

[twisterman1999]

What would you do if you saw

a person fly through he air!?!?!?!?

XD

[notme411]

Its a luck of the draw. There is no ryme or reason why one town gets Tornados and another town doesn't. If you look at the history of the state. The Elgin area gets more damaging Tornados then any other part of the State per NOAA records. Its just a matter of the Super Cell getting the right ingredients to form a Funnel.

[54spiritedwill54]

those clouds  very menacing

[linkfan69]

i live in joliet very close to plainfiled.

why do most tornados most form in plainfield not in joliet if the distance is not far??

[Polar1zed]

i dont know. more farm land maybe. IF they really do form mostly over plainfield rather than joliet than its probally a atter of how the land is laid out.

[linkfan69]

oh.

thanks

[MrAmericanAce]

Landscape has no effect in small sections like that, you need massive massive massive features that span several degrees of the curvature of the earth to implement any impact on the formation of tornados and even then its only somewhat marginal. For instance, the rockies in USA give way to the plains and there is tornado alley, but thats a verry massive assessment. Just chance here.

[adulby]

@linkfan69 ya for some reason down in Champaign tornadic conditions always hit south they never hit near champaign. it always like 20 miles south. It seems like a cell will be headed right for us..then somehow molds around champaign to hit South or just reform after passing overhead. I like storms so i hate it. Now i do not want a tornado to hit my house but at least getting a warning every once in awhile would be cool. You know maybe see a funnel...lol

[triton115]

@adulby It seems the exact same way with Chicago's west suburb of Cicero. Almost as if there were some sort of invisible shield or "prow" that causes all severe storms to miss Cicero and most of central Cook County.

[Polar1zed]

check out my other video theres a funnel cloud at the end. Might be your house man haha. I was over on ellna court off of feeney.

[AXEL4522]

those always scare me.

[tedFrost]

I remember this day, it was a squall line, nothing more.

[Quirxilonious]

A wedge tornado isn't necessarily an F4 or F5. Most people assume they're strong because of their size but most are around the F1 or F2 size. Rope tornadoes can be F4 or F5. The size doesn't really matter whether the tornado is strong or not. Sorry to correct ya.

[sirensymbol]

That's half true. Most of the time a wedge tornado is in the strong to violent category. And most of the time the skinny, rope tornadoes are in the weak to strong category. But, sometimes that is not the case.

[Anticyclonic]

I'm not seeing the usual rotation that occurs directly under the mesocyclone (of course, though I know a crap load about tornadoes, I'm no complete expert), but you know what? This is an awesome video anyway. Sometimes merely the structure of the clouds is jaw-dropping.

I remember driving directly under a rotating supercell a few years ago. I was thinking, "oookay...I'm very into severe weather but I reeeeeally don't think I should be here, right now." LOL

[TaylorSwiftOfficial9]

he posted this on my b-day

[K9196]

sorry man. dont see anything that indicates a funnel cloud or even a wall cloud-

[ficherman555]

sweet

[XOitachiXO]

OMG this shows the true beauty of mother nature i am scared of anything around storms so yeahh nice u got guts to tape dis

[sparklepuppy1013]

one time i saw this funnle cloud forming over my mom's boyfriend's house. he lives on a lake

[SoonerMan918]

Same thing happened to me here in Tulsa, Oklahoma but I was watching the coverage on the tv, There's no way in hell i would be outside in this suituation.

[barbnaas]

Had a very defined one over our house several years ago, was verrry strange & uniquely beautiful

[shadows6]

I remember I once saw a cell rotating right over my area when we were under a tornado watch. It was pretty damn scary.

[idoger58]

LMAO!

PLATINUM3NDO

[ASanz93]

me 2 i feel bad for the people

[pfootballguy82]

i feel bad for those people in plainfield always getting hit by torndaoes, it's really close by to me i live in darien so not to far

[Pup1234567]

i live in lisle im about just as close

[barmarrs]

i live in between you guys in bolingbrook.. i guess we're the lucky ones.. romeoville, plainfield, and naperville get all the good storms south and west of us, and woodridge and lisle get the good ones north of us...

[atheistspwn]

dude...i would piss myself if i ever saw that. lol

[Naturalheals]

No sirens now that scary hope everyone is ok

[Polar1zed]

sirens came about a half hour later. In the pictures I have, you can see a small funnel cloud forming to the west. It didnt turn into anything though.

[theitalian556]

I've always wanted to see a tornado! just not near it or in its path!

[twix0212]

same storm cell hit my hometown of fenton MI

freaky day i was in my basement watching the news hoping one of the funnels wouldnt hit my house 15 min north of fenton

[Tundraboy05]

my god. hope theyre ok.

[Polar1zed]

i dont think anyone was hurt or killed. but i cant really remember. Im pretty sure there were no injuries.

[zeldaprincess123]

thats scary shit

[PLATINUM3NDO]

lol where the fuck was i when this happened??

[JUGGALO17CLOWN]

during the second wave over my ouse the clouds were moving really fast towards each other and started rotating

im kinda mad i didnt get it on film

but it was the coolest shit ive ever seen

[WarLocK8008]

yeah it was an intense storm

[priestessmana]

absolutely. the tornado could've developed on top of us, and we probably would've died. i flipped out when i heard that we were under a tornado ring.

[priestessmana]

those clouds very very menacing. i will never forget when i went camping with some family friends, and we didn't know anything about it, but i remember one of our family friends telling us that we were driving under a tornado ring. i got alittle scared when i heard about it.

[Polar1zed]

scary shit isnt it?
