This tornado - the Andover, KS tornado that traveled between Clearwater and El Dorado, KS - became an F5 and was part of The Plains Tornado Outbreak of April 26, 1991. 4/26/91 was the same day I saw my first tornado - an 800 yard wide F4 that traveled between Terlton and Skiatook, OK. There were several historic tornado events that took place that day.
April 26, 1991. Compact camcorders (VHS-C and Hi8) were the current technology at the time. Modular, full-size VHS camcorders were already obsolete. A compact camcorder weighed about two pounds.
@sds654 they wouldn't be filming if they didn't know how to run. rofl, i live in oklahoma man, all we ever get is tornadoes in the summertime, and once the hail stops i sit outside and watch them pass the west side of town. if you know there's somewhere to go quickly to hide then you're safe.
Wow! But I've heard that some planets and moons of our solar system have supertornados that are many times bigger than these American standard F-class ones.
Two White guys: Look dude! It's a tornado! Get the camera! This is freaking awesome! Two Black guys: Oh shit! A tornado! Get the car man! All shit! I told you to put more than 4 dollars in the tank!
This video is so creepy... not just because of how much it grew and how close it was, but the beginning is like something out of a horror movie. Just the way it looked and that siren going off, scary as hell
I would rather take a picture of the tornado and run away. Because when you're taking the vid and the tornado's coming closer to you, you got a 40% chance to survive.
I was there when it happened in Wichita KS it even tore off the asphalt off the roads and snapped all the power lines. It eventually ended up as an F5 tornado
luckily in san diego, CA where i live i dont have to worry bout things such as tornadoes and t storms. i just have to worry bout 100 ft tsunami waves and 8.6 magnitude earthquakes which are unpredictable and effects everywhere.
i would just laugh at them for being stupid if half the tornado dissapeared then 3 secs later went at and angle and appeared 10 ft away from them ....
