Amazing! I would love to see a tornado once. This is really terrifying. There was a big rainstorm this evening, and I saw a road changed into a small river. But it's nothing compared to a tornado. The house seems so small.
i was six when this happend and i live in a town a few miles from here....my town didn't get hit but there was damage done by the wind....and ever since then i am terrified by bad storms...that was one of the scariest night of my life.
That tornato did not look pretty I think I've must of thrown up in my mouth I saw that tornato from 50 miles away I was in the House that gone sucked up from the tornato well good thing I survived now mother nature is playing temp. Games with us why does mother nature do this to our houses,our temp,our whole world every one blame all the weather on mother nature so blame mother. Nature if you don't say that get a life and shame on you ;)
After the power district refused to lie for Lan Co emer Management they came out with the brillant comment of "Well if we sounded the sirens every time then noone would listen to them"! The spotters claimed that they never saw the tornado because it was rain wrapped however chasers are getting video of it oops how do you miss a 2 1/2 mile wide monster! The best thing said came from the local news agencies who all said wow someone really fucked up in a bad way!
The BS of the Hallam Tornado was- The emergency management manager for Lancaster Co. was out of town and his back up had no experence with storms what so ever and he was calling the shots, believe it or not! Not that Doug Alberg is much better mind you because he's not! Lets put it this way Lan Co Emer Management claimed no sirens were sounded in Hallam because the power was out! The Power district didn't back them up and said no the power didn't go out til the tornado hit the town! They lied!
Look, this is one of the incredible tornadoes in history. My comment may sound dumb but this is one of the tornadoes that went down in history. It wasn't as strong as May 3rd 1999 or as deadly as The Great Tri state Tornado, but it was The widest tornado in U.S. If you don't belive me,then you should Go on Weather Channel.com. They should have info on the 2.5 mile wide tornado. If not, well then, there are other sites you can look at.
"unpredicted" means on average its only reached about 1.8 diameters, but the actual high is a potential fastest, highest, and widest to hit Greensburg, Kansas locally known as "the Greensburg disaster." it took many lives in that sad year of 2008. a top that would be worse than the following above is "Night of the twisters." seven twisters combined to make a mega twister, and thankfully took 3 lives, but lead to many injuries and damage
i agree, that was an eerie sound the wind was making,i have watched a lot of tornado video's and thats the first time i have heard anything like that and to be able to hear it from such a distance.
@GOODY61 Politics have always played a part in storm ratings especially when your dealing with federal disaster funding! Katrina even though was rated high the political games that came after was sad to say the least! Look at the levy system that they said would hold together under a catagory 3 and they were given money to make it stronger, well that money went for other projects! Politics always play a role in disasters!
Got to tell you always thought they rated it low if thats not an F-5 then there isn't such a thing! Never actually went into Hallam and yet destroyed the whole town pretty much! Way to many politics go on regarding storms!
@Mr2505federal But the ratings are by damage, really, and I don't think it's too political to decide whether a building is demolished, or whether the whole thing has been swept off its foundation and carried away.
Amazing. I had always wanted to take up a job on this. I find it to be rather a cool thing to do, and yet a thrill at the same time. I had always wanted to see a tornado live in person, but yet with me living in Ohio the closet thing I get, were I live are water Spouts.
@cailtinluvscaptian Hi, this is longtime chaser (and former Nebraskan) Joel Ewing. You know, I've bagged tornadoes all over Nebraska. It's one of the hardest hit states. Just curious, where are you located? You're probably just not being in the right place / right time. Thanks
I noticed the date of this tornado was May 22. That was the date I saw my first and second tornado. It was in 2008 though, up in Kansas. Definetly a time frame to be ready. May 13th was my best day in 2009. Great video on this twister.
This tornado plus several other tornadoes we have captured over the years will be featured on a highlight dvd which is scheduled for a December 2010 release. We have some never seen footage which is really incredible. I will try to get the preview video up sometime soon.
When I saw the Greensburg rare footage though with Darin Brurin and Dick McGowan, I couldn't beleive my eyes how friggen phat the tornado had grown. (You can only see it occasionally in the illumination of lighting flashes.)
One or one and a half miles wide of EF5 fury is an incredible thing to see.
I live north of this tornado and over the years I have seen the funnel clouds form every thing from the hand of God to a hugh cock and balls. Dropping acid seems to Enhance the visual effects of a tornado but you need to see one in person to really feel their power.
ha personally for me i don't care how big/wide it was what gets me is the way the clouds start to wrap around it!!!!..ohh and the sound of the wind in the power lines make it cool also!!
nice video what was the ground and wind speed and if the shifted you guys wouldn't have a video and you should never chase on a dirt or muddy road cause if you get stuck and it shifts good luck getting away.
lol I didn't make the video but I'd have to agree Omaha does suck...I lived there all my life and thank GOD I just moved out of there a few months ago and I hope to never go back!
Its the witnessing the power of nature that intrigues us to investigate more,as we develop better modes of escape from them,the more daring the trek..
I agree with you iss101 always go into a basement if you are chasing a tornado and don't have a way of getting away from one go under a bridge and hang on as tight as you can or you can always go under a sewer. I'd prefer a basement would be better.
I remember this day, I was in Grand Island with my family and we were watching the News and they were saying that Hallam had been destroyed by a tornado, and even in Grand Island it was hot, humid, and storming...
Hey airraider, what don't you get about EARLY stages of the tornado? The Greensburg one was 1.7. This one had a good 0.8 of a mile on the Greensburg one. But it wasn't as powerful.
I remember that night like it was yesterday! Im from Lincoln,but it stormed like crazy all night long! You could feel it in the air all day that storms were brewing, it was hot and humid from the moment I woke up that day!
dude I was there after that happened, like 2 weeks after, that was a brutal tornado, there was even a destroyed feed mill and shed by the back highway to Lincoln, which is a ways from there. They rebuilt really fast though
Look at the wall and collar cloud on that thing! It hit Wilber and Hallam when it was at it's most intense. I think it was 2.5 miles in diameter near Hallam. At 2:03 and 3:18 the thing actually made the wall cloud kind of "blow up". Amazing video.
i've seen ALOT of tornado videos in 20 yrs and this is easily in the top 5 but how would you say biggest ever what about spencer s.d, moore okla, or andover kansas in 1991...but this is pretty amazing esp how it wedges out from just an average storm and the messesed up rotation at 3:30..i'd like to see the satellite loop of this storm
WIDEST EVER!!!! My god people!!! Stop posting here if you are stupid!! Widest tornado ever, at 2.5 miles wide. NOT strongest tornado ever. Give me a break. Thank you to those of you that know the difference and can actually Google this tornado and understand what 'largest tornado' means. I posted the entire
NWS survey where they say.. 'Unprecedented width of 2.5 miles.' This means it has never happened, for those that don't know.
Yeah, so somebody says the sky is falling....you gonna believe that too? I don't care who they say they are, they have NO clue what the widest has ever been and they are probably guessing how wide this one was.
this was documented as having a damage path 2.5 miles wide at one point by the national weather service..and size does not indicate strength..and a mile in half is HUGE for a tornado so i dont know how you call that " a weakling tornado"
He didnt get captured how big this tornado really was because it was actually 4 tornados that joined together and formed one huge one. I know this because i remember watching it come straight towards my town but then at the last second it changed it's path and missed us.
You have no clue. Shut up please. The tornado reached 2.5 miles wide before it hit Hallam. NOT here in this clip. Nowhere does it say THIS shot is 2.5 miles wide. It's actually an F0 to a weak F1 right now.. hitting only dirt and farm fields.
2:49 is the sound of the tornado?? wow so scary...

This was the largest tornado ever documented in USA history, and it was 2.5 miles wide and wiped out Hallam, Nebraska.

i've seen ALOT of tornado videos in 20 yrs and this is easily in the top 5 but how would you say biggest ever what about spencer s.d, moore okla, or andover kansas in 1991...but this is pretty amazing esp how it wedges out from just an average storm and the messesed up rotation at 3:30..i'd like to see the satellite loop of this storm

WIDEST EVER!!!! My god people!!! Stop posting here if you are stupid!! Widest tornado ever, at 2.5 miles wide. NOT strongest tornado ever. Give me a break. Thank you to those of you that know the difference and can actually Google this tornado and understand what 'largest tornado' means. I posted the entire
NWS survey where they say.. 'Unprecedented width of 2.5 miles.' This means it has never happened, for those that don't know.

Yeah, so somebody says the sky is falling....you gonna believe that too? I don't care who they say they are, they have NO clue what the widest has ever been and they are probably guessing how wide this one was.

2.5m long? the tornado was 2.5 miles long in diameter? wth...
MetalHeadWarlock376 3 years ago
2.5 miles wide damage path, not 2.5 miles long.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
2.5 miles? this looks like a mile and a half. the greensburg tornado of 07 was bigger than this weakling tornado
AirRaider57 2 years ago
this was documented as having a damage path 2.5 miles wide at one point by the national weather service..and size does not indicate strength..and a mile in half is HUGE for a tornado so i dont know how you call that " a weakling tornado"

Go back to school idiot. This is the largest tornado ever recorded.

He didnt get captured how big this tornado really was because it was actually 4 tornados that joined together and formed one huge one. I know this because i remember watching it come straight towards my town but then at the last second it changed it's path and missed us.

@skers08
Sounds like it was a multivortex tornado then.

You have no clue. Shut up please. The tornado reached 2.5 miles wide before it hit Hallam. NOT here in this clip. Nowhere does it say THIS shot is 2.5 miles wide. It's actually an F0 to a weak F1 right now.. hitting only dirt and farm fields.

On a somewhat random note, a wedge tornado can (thereotically) get as big as four miles long.
