Incredible Tornado Video - Mulvane, KS Violent White Rope -

[boi9031]

oh no! if you watch a little later it grows a bit bigger. still thats a f3. if rated an f3 its more likely an f3.

[brian14021994]

wow! awesome! wish there were in holland to!

[SharakonRHCP]

1:09 :(((

[murrymurf]

you could survive it with a full suit of football pads

[thestormchaser777]

really now u could survive being hurrled 600 feet int he air thrown down on the ground like a freagin ragg doll n then have a 200 pound hay bale or a car, or maybe even the roof of a house land on you and a little freagin football suit would save you? really dout it bro. o yes n need i mention n billions of tinny fragments that would be pennetrating every unprocted inch of your "football suited" body? yes that includes GLASS.

[DjPyro2010]

This video is a good example of how width doesn't always determine tornado strength

[dragonridley]

I suggest renaming this video. I know for a fact that this was an F3 while the term "violent" suggests F4 or F5.

[papermoon1989]

i don't live very far from Mulvane.

I so wouldn't be brave enough to do that

[djmweatherman]

One of the MOST photogenic tornadoes that you guys have caught, just wish I can get that lucky when chasing.

[Mymieke]

Good vid! And none of you guys screamed or yelled like a bunch of ninnies, like in most of the other chaser vids. Thanks!!!!

[reptie]

holy shit these tornado arent even scared of that tornado they should at least survive from a bear!

[beeftitsinacan]

Who in the hell thumbs up'd this comment?¿ It's clearly as literate as my right rumphump.

[starsplaya43]

i live in kansas great video you should get an f5

[dragonridley]

easier said than done. EF5 tornadoes are literally less than one in a thosand. We could go ten years and never get one.

[dragonridley]

And they doo have footage of an F5

[helene02184]

That was someone's home... :o( These things are awesome to watch but crazy destructive!!

[Swedeanimegirl13]

What I can't believe is that in the begining the sky was blue around the center of dark clouds and this white funnel just touches down. And near some houses I might add

[ryphos]

I love these tornadoes... just so damn scary! haha

[LoserForJesus]

oh my words.. this is just amazing!

just a few minutes away from where i live too...

[skeeballpickuplines]

The circulation on that thing is incredible. And I'm sure the chasers were not the only folks who saw that tornado coming and radio'ed it in.

[Bdawg71692]

you never know the beaty of this destructive forces until you see them.

[VirusBaNq]

thx alot . =D

[VirusBaNq]

how these ppl know that tornado will strike there ? device or ? it will be too lucky if they were not using any device ...

[DiesMali]

A tornado will often come from the southwest edge of a thunderstorm, from a tiered cloud structure. The mesocyclone is the columnar, rotating part of a supercell thunderstorm. Under the mesocyclone, a "wall cloud" develops, which is a low-hanging, broadly cylindrical cloud structure that rotates rapidly. From this, a tornado can arise. Trained meteorologists/stormchasers look for these structures and get close to them in order to see tornadoes.

[jgreenlow]

WoW that was a 6/5 :O

[born2bewild100]

cool!

[Bradbssargdons]

why in the HELL would you not call it in the INSTANT that you see a tornado? several minutes passed before you said "we need to radio this thing in joel" those few minutes could have killed some people. if youre going to videotape them and chase them, fine, but helping to warn people as early as possible should be priority #1, not "oh man this is a perfect shot!"

[BrawlBroMario]

when he said you got it reed i thought u were talking to me because me name is reed

[kjetil297]

whas that a cow i see

[lothy59]

holy shit batman a twister.. robin my boy? im hoping u will be like that back in the bat cave.

[onehitta1]

First thing he said, "perfect cone", I couldnt help but chuckle; I know the guys will back me on thatlol

[charon128]

haha nice catch that is awesome

[kittykittyvii]

1:08-1:22...it's a sparkly tornado...hehhe....seriously though, I hope no one got hurt badly :(

[zzzzdreamzzz]

i watched this tornado on storm stories on weather channel, it hit the house the mom and 13 year old son were under the stairs in the basement, it ripped the door off of the storage space they were in, got hit with a lot of stuff, either way they made it out but it took the entire house

[supergirl13k]

i think a rope means that it is dissapearing

but that doesnt mean its weak.

or is that a rope out

yeah its a rope out

never mind taht whole dissapeaaring thing that is when it ropes out.

[Kilgorin10]

This is proof that a rope tornado doesn't necesserilly mean a weak tornado!

[DropASharp]

If I remember correctly, this is actually where they are the strongest. In accordance with conservation of angular momentum, a tornado's wind speed has to increase as its diameter decreases in order to maintain a constant momentum. I think that's what's going on, but I've slept since HS Physics.

[Kilgorin10]

Ooooh 0.0 Nice research!

[Kilgorin10]

This is proof that a rope tornado doesn't necesserilly mean a weak tornado!

[Kilgorin10]

[pixksy]

[Pinkpada]

poor people that lived in that house!

[sqush3]

[IntoxicViolence]

Damn. It looked like someone threw fucking confetti in the tornado when it wiped out that house.

[mikaeladamo]

[thatguy2647]

[dickstawicki]

[JakeTV248]

Time While Driving: 3 Hours and 10 Minutes

[Shadowgirl1607]

I feel sorry for the people that lose their homes.

[DhanishtaDevi]

Did anyone get hurt or killed when those houses were destroyed? Maybe you guys can tell us what happened after you film houses that get trashed. Are there people being sucked up into the tornado's?

[RubyRed05]

I think two people got hurt, but no one in Mulvane died, I'm pretty sure. :)

I was there! lol, you can tell you're in Kansas when a tornado hits and every one of your neighbors are on their front porch with a beer in hand! I love KS! Tornadoes and all!

[lasigmaman]

That is one beautiful white, bright rope! I'm in awe of nature once again. We get a bunch of tornadoes in La., but I never get to see one for myself.

[kensay1]

The time is NOW to seriously consider building Monolithic Concrete Domes over stick houses to combat the devastating effects of crazy weather. See monolithic dot com. Peace.

[lolen137]

whoah...

[Kilgorin10]

Thats the most magnificent tornado i've ever seen by far.

[kewsaysuraqt2]

Great footage, I witnessed this tornado myself, awsome.

[poeciloteria]

that was one of the best tornado vids i ever saw , awsome

[cleftronix]

That's the whitest tornado I ever did see...

[EnkiduPDX]

I live in Oregon and we never see this stuff. I used to live in Colorado, so we would get the long, ropish ones often, but nothing powerful. If I lived out Tornado Alley, I'd be chasing storms all summer.

[BillBrd1]

Brilliant example that shows that rope tornadoes are not always weak tornadoes.

[mikewxchaser]

this is my favorite tornado. if you know where to look, you can find about 5 different vantage points on this tornado. i like dave crowleys the most. if you watch closely, you can see the mustang that it threw. it flew a few hundred yards. good footage.

[SuidSuideAfrikanz]

nice funnel!
