TORNADO LANSING IL 6-7-2008 2MIN 30 SECOND SEE TWISTER

[sweethotcandy29]

I remember this storm. I was trapped in the dark at K-mart in Lansing IL.

[Yestrooper1]

It looks like you're along Bernice Rd, just west of Wentworth.

umbrella in a tornado........real smart.....

[abone734]

Awesome video! I loved at 2:36 the lightning strike then the appearance of a suction vortex almost instantly - like you scripted it. FYI, the tornado was confirmed EF1.

[qssneaky]

@joydivstellar Wow! Thanks for the information!!

[jd84z]

that was awesome i was standing out side watching this tear shit up near mores river drive

[qssneaky]

@jd84z Tear shit up? ROFL How bout you try living in Kansas you dumb ass.

[jackseh]

awesome footage wish i could have been there close to my home town i wont forget this one

[qssneaky]

@jackseh Ya I know dude. This was a real record breaker. Hundreds of people lost their lives, thousands of houses shredded up like cheese, power was out for 4 months, and my fucking dog is still missing.

[stormchaser5399]

Awesome video man! The beginning shows perfect inflow into the rapidly rotating wallcloud. At 2:30 in, you can clearly see the developing tornado. I couldn't tell if at that time it was on the ground, but I wouldn't doubt it. The video definitely showed rapid ascent of warm moist air into the mesocyclone/ rapidly rotating wall cloud. Hard to get great shots like these in Michigan.

[qssneaky]

@stormchaser5399 .You need to get out more dude..And I don't mean tornado watching..

[BLACKDARK80]

I remember this on june 8th, i live in rochester hills and we got hit by a tornado too, EF0 as far as i can tell, maybe an EF1, had no power for 6 days

[qssneaky]

@BLACKDARK80 EF0, maybe a EF1?? That's not even worthy of you leaving a comment.

[redarmyhalo]

I flipped out when I heard the dude on the weather say "A Tornado has touched down in Lansing."

[qssneaky]

@redarmyhalo Tell us exactly what you did when you "flipped out"..

[mzmelz09]

i remember this....i live right down the street

[migurl1769]

Yeah that was nice. Im scared shitless of tornadoes though. Id never get that close.

[JasonJForrest]

nice video!!  i love storms but not these damn things! lol

[JohnAP2]

I remember that day - nothing but a bunch of sissies running around like they've never heard of a funnel cloud before. Give me a break...

[qssneaky]

@JohnAP2 Take a look at the video again you dumb ass.. It's about the most sissy of a fucking tornado I have ever seen..Try living in Iowa or Kansas you moron.

[mileycyrusfan426]

i remember that.... it hit the street next to mine too, it was extremely frightening

[Quirxilonious]

I don't care if that is a full-blown tornado or a landspout or anything like that, that is some amazing footage you have.

[iuventusstultorem]

i was at a party ane we were all in the back of the house listening to this kick ass band when all the lightning made them stop and then we say that thing it was insain i was right down the street on burnam ave. and i live right on wentworth across the express way by you and i just cant believe how lucky we got!

[AeroStorm911]

Wow the lightning really ramps up at the end. Awesome video.

[enragedbeauty1205]

Man.. that day was horrible. I got 2 friends that live over there in Lansing, about 1-2 minutes from Ridge and Torrence. I use to work over there too. I just moved to Hammond, IN into a 3 story apt. building.. and when the storm was closer to here, i looked out there window and a funnel cloud formed right outside of it. Lets just say, I was scared shitless.. That day was something tho. Where are you exactly when you were recording this?

[WC7495]

Very neat footage my friend....

[qwandiddy]

Was anyone in Greater Lansing area killed or lost homes by this tornado??

[aloudninja]

man yesterday was real bad thats exactly what i saw yesterday i live in chicago and this was freaking scary

[VinnyV444]

This video depicts a supercell that is producing the 8th tornado of the day on 6/7/08. The storms on 8/4/08 were spawned from a bowed echo mesoscale convective system... a continuous line of thunderstorms spanning many miles with long duration. Low level circulations near the leading edge of the line can create brief spin ups, or non-supercell tornadoes.

In short, while the 8/4 storm was devastating, we were VERY LUCKY the 6/7 storm didn't produce a continuous EF3+ tornado it easily could have.

[aloudninja]

wow i didnt understand a word you said but yea we were lucky.

[qwandiddy]

They should've hit Flint/Detroit instead of Lansing, Lansing is a good city. I miss my hometown at haslett.

[VinnyV444]

This was Lansing, Illinois not Michigan. And no, nobody was killed nor was there significant property damage from this storm.

However, last week on 8/4 the people in Griffith, Indiana (about 9 miles from Lansing, IL) weren't as fortunate.

[CutieBooty20322]

i remember this day and the 8th that there were MANY tornadoes in the Illinois area & here in northwest IN b/c i had to leave our park. ppl were driving by telling us there wuz a tornado coming our way....never happened tho

[fattpieceofcrap]

yeah we got lucky with this one. where was this filmed at? i was actually in munster community hospital on the 4th floor watching this crap, munster didnt get hit all. but going home you started seeing the branches all over wentworth

[VinnyV444]

"where was this filmed at?"

Judging by the landmarks I'd say Bernice Road & Wentworth Avenue in Lansing, IL. According to the NOAA, the last of the 8 tornadoes this cell produced was a brief touch down at 179th & Wentworth. No doubt that is what was captured with this footage.

[giub99]

LOL @ "you come too"

[katiebustsdown]

haaaaa this is funny. i was at a softball game right by the police station at the complex where it touched down and we all hadta sit in metal dugouts... fun shit. hahaha my house is right down the street from where this vid is taken... this was right by wentworth, correct?

[momotous]

Yikes!

[mosthauntedPERSON]

I remember that! I was in my basement listening to the exact same thing as you

[kathyf1]

That was so cool - thanks for sharing! I was cowering in my basement in Highland at the time since The Weather Channel said it was coming our way.

[rishihara]

Great video! We couldn't see any funnel clouds from where we were driving.

[biggerballer]

wasnt too bad, Lots of downed trees, we lost power for a day..

[biggerballer]

yah at 2min on video first one forms second one at 2:30

[bwatt2004]

Nice!!! The lighting was close!
