[bulldozer950]

I LOVE the Federal Signal 2001 with the Tornado!

[PurpleMonster29]

that tornado took my horse barn and lots of trees in our yard

[weatherguy2013]

Wow, I was in Saint Cloud and I thought it was bad there

[MiloAndSierra]

i live there and that day i was home alone...T_T

[josecitoperecito]

that cloud is soooo low

[jcm028]

This looks to be filmed near the intersection of cty rd. 37 and hwy 25 between Buffalo and Monticello. There was a confirmed touchdown at the intersection of 50th st. and braddock ave in n.w. Buffalo, took down trees and power lines then moved north through cty rd 37 towards Monti

[crunkeyjimmy5427]

this system came through northern utah where i live before turning into this.

[MiloAndSierra]

@snowboardchick114 lol i live there

[stormsirens2]

The Sirens at the beginning Was a Federal Signal 2001, there white

[blue3tar]

after reaching the EF5 rating, a tornadoes damage stays the same, which is total

devastation. Although, if a twister ever rips through a big city, like Houston, and one of it's skyscrapers gets destroyed, then maybe it should be EF6?

[2000Trunks]

@blue3tar well if the tornado destroyed every thing including the ground definately ef 6

[gohuge]

@blue3tar EF 5 covers windspeed up to 318 mph, but it isn't limited to that number. The number 318 is from the Moore, OK in 99'. If there is a more powerful tornado it will still be an EF5. Like you said total devestation can't be eclipsed. Would be like being deader.

It won't take an EF5 to destroy a skyscraper. An EF4 could easily reduce a skyscraper to a metal and concrete skeleton with significant structural damage. Just a matter of time until it happens. It's a historical Certainty.

[nasa43]

Where did this touchdown? I used to live few miles away in Big Lake

[jcm028]

@nasa43 Touched down near cty rd 117 and bradock ave in Buffalo. Trees and power lines we're down at that intersection

[Minihawk507]

@nasa43 There was one in Fairmont MN where I live thats just before this one in the video. No damage reported in Fairmont thiugh.

[BarrelRacer49]

2 things:

1.Did you guys go to hugo when that one tornado hit?

2.Reed is my hero!I would give anything to be like you! If only i wasn't only 12 years old!I am training to become a storm chaser like you guys.Do you have any advice for me? If you need anyone to go with you I would LOVE to go!

[DrCumulus]

@BarrelRacer49 True there is no such thing as an EF6, but I am just saying that who knows, maybe one day it could happen. I missed Dr. Teddy, I wish he was stil around, I wonder how much more he would love today's advancement in weather studies. Take care :)

[4444awsome]

MY AUNT LIVES THERE!

[DrCumulus]

@DimeBagPlz You know what is interesting is how one day there will be a predicted EF6 and it will happen, maybe, and people will just be awestruck lol, the rain wrapped tornadoes are so annoying to track, ninety percent of the better ones are rain wrapped, pure insanity :)

[BarrelRacer49]

@DrCumulus, sorry but there isn't such thing as an EF6. It goes from EF0 through EF5.

[Secretofthesauce]

@BarrelRacer49 originally the scale had a limit, but when a tornado finally exceeded the limit, it was changed so that F5 was limitless.

[BarrelRacer49]

@Secretofthesauce when did that happen and what tornado exceeded the limit? (so you say at least...)

[Secretofthesauce]

@BarrelRacer49 Oklahoma's famous May 3rd tornado

[Secretofthesauce]

@DrCumulus already happened

[SynapticChaos]

Instead of saying "God help them", why not say "I really hope that they are OK". If there were a benevolent god, then he wouldn't create tornadoes and other natural disasters which kill his own children. It may have just been a figure of speech, but just saying....

[lastdaysguitar]

@SynapticChaos Shutup you stupid athiest.

[AETrainingDavid97]

@lastdaysguitar Seconded.

[reformcongress]

@SynapticChaos

It would be nice to be someone like you who has absolutely no values so that you never have to be accountable for your own failures.

[AETrainingDavid97]

@SynapticChaos If there wasn't a God, no one would've had the mercy to not suck you up by a tornado before you commented.

[ExclusivelyEmmy]

@SynapticChaos He can say whatever he chooses to say, figure of speech or not. Lastly, God doesn't create tornadoes, our environment does, so your argument is weak. It's clear you don't practice religion, but you should at least practice science, they do teach that in school.

[DrCumulus]

@SynapticChaos Respectfully speaking bud, nature will take its course, rather there is a God or not, nature has its cycles, just like humans, please understand that you cannot let natural disasters affect your opinion on God, life goes on everytime, take care friend :)

[KubaRallyFaan]

Nice:)

[somejackball]

yep, ya got one!! hehe

[TheJcreg]

Michael-Thanks for the vid. Mostly, I was elated to hear you pray for the people in harm's way. Blessings.

Thejcreg

[lovdatcat]

Thank you for posting this. I was in my crawl space at the time. I would have been freaked out knowing I could see this from my house.

[vikingnut13]

nice footage close to wear i live....i live in east bethel Mn....im a big fan of u guys and what u do...i want to it some day!!!!

[DrCumulus]

Has anybody else realized that every year a different state gets hit that rarely gets hit. Maybe it is just me, but outbreaks are hitting just about every state, except northeastern coast so far.

[LongTimeNoSwing]

did you guys get anything from Albert Lea yesterday? i heard they got hit pretty hard

[alexforspeed]

Nice!

[JDMowerGuy1998]

not on ground

[jessfashion1]

Are these storms heading to lower Michigan? Like Kalamazoo? Please someone tell me! haha I'm scared!

[Tantoblade1pd]

@jessfashion1

Yeah theres a tornado heading for kalamazoo right now.

[barn524]

am I the only one who finds it Ironic that this video has a little ad at the bottom to plan your next trip event or camp to Minnesota? Gonna be there in a week...eek

[LongTimeNoSwing]

@barn524 minnesota is usually really nice! we don't get many big outbreaks like this

[barn524]

oh I guess it was just a siren.

[barn524]

um...that siren sound...is that town sirens, an ambulance or the fricking tornado---or a combo?....eekkk

[iblade06]

@BBHollyLeaf we were right by the 25 exit.. its on my gps i cant remember exactly.

[iblade06]

is it weird that i can hear myself talking in the background, i don't remember what i said! mike is as good of a guy as they come

[popcorn3394]

And on my birthdayy:O

[popcorn3394]

I live in North Beltrami:O

[FloydRoseDiscovery]

I so wish i could go with you guys. I live in kentucky and we had one tornado on the ground and 3 more funnel clouds was spotted over are town while the other one went through. No damage was done by the tornado but lighting did hit building behind a gas station. It caught on fire. I was wanting to chase that storm so bad but I also want to be with a meteorologist to keep me safe. Good Luck and Be Careful.

[Uhhxhi]

...I saw this system. It passed right by me. I was so pissed off.

[aniko247]

i was in st cloud

o.o it didnt tornado there but it looked like it was going to :O

[alexandraf37]

DO U TRAVEL AND LOOK FOR TORNADOES?

[xSakuraBanax]

IM IN BECKER!!

[Jimmy57452]

My dad is in Hibbing, Minnesota right now (few hours northwest of Duluth).

The storms just barely missed him.

[slipmad]

i live in Redwood Falls and it was sunny were i was, i wish it was stormy tho =(

[bengtson21]

i live i ment have one on video

[akrackenberger]

@SpartanGuy Sean Casey's wife said he talked to Sean and he said "His exact quote was "we killed it!" He

sounded VERY excited" Also, Reed said he intercepted......Since they are filming a show, I bet they can't say very much.

[xVampress]

I was wondering if you all caught this. Amazing footage. One of my friends was in Wadena at the time. She said it sounded like a freight train, the roaring was ear - popping.

[SpartanGuy]

Anyone know if any teams intercepted?

[Argonn2142]

Nice video. I kinda wished it was in HD but was worth viewing for sure :)

[iblade06]

@Argonn2142 it is in hd on the website

[Argonn2142]

@iblade06 Ah I see. I was like, for low quality it looks pretty good. The spawn of an HD video originally :P

[volound]

i wish they would stop saying "god"

[Ortified]

@volound why do you care?

[RenownRecon]

Wow, the rotation in that cell was amazing. Hope everyone was ok.

[JustACurbsideProphet]

Wish we could of gotten some action in the city. We didnt even get much rain. Just yellow skies.

[DormRoomDivas]

Sooo scary!! I don't know how you guys are brave enough to get up that close.

[Fran616]

Yeah pretty bad out here in MN. After the storm the sky turned an awesome color that whats like a golden yellow. It was pretty cool.

[SpartanGuy]

@Fran616 Judging from how you describe the scene, it sounds like pictures like that would be a great addition to the ends of these tornado videos. But thats just me.

[SpartanGuy]

@Fran616 Scratch that. Searching today's tornado videos, someone uploaded a video of the sky. Quite beautiful.

[Fran616]

@SpartanGuy Really? Could you send me that video??

[Bjoe455]
