[jctex1]

@CorruptPhillyCops Go Eagles!! From Texas, F*ck the Cowboys!!



[snickers123rox]

Oh look at this big ass tornado lets just drive towards it.

[PreciousGem891]

You know what I hate... Is when your watching a show on tv with those soft voices, so you turn it up loud so you can actually hear the thing, and then that alarm goes off. It scares the bejeezus out of me..

[playsbba018]

Is it really necessary for the national weather service to have that really deep, scary sound accompany all of their announcement?.

[ROFLPS3suckz]

@playsbba018 i know, that noise scares me

[justinmoss101]

@4:55 I live to hear that sound

[Fyuzseion]

9:00 pm and still light outside...I never see that in the south.

[636Castle]

Wow...lots of vortexes. That was awesome.

[Redcaster916]

why didn't you run into the middle of it? you were already so close it wouldn't matter that much :)

[BlackMesa666]

Dude, you got a tronado on your co drivers seat!

[zukolovsmaedammit]

[weather01089]

[ziming45]

[UtahMike41]

[Bowskenarts]

Thats the moment where Reeds face gets fucked up by the windshield xD 3:34

[twincreek101]

Is this last year's tornado that hit the Dominator and Reed's side window broke?

[Bowskenarts]

@twincreek101 yes it is.

[twincreek101]

[Bowskenarts]

[dragonridley]

[mariaverina]

it looks like the sky is going to devour the earth

[cherrybelly999]

omg this is so exciting!

[Robert08010]

These guys are reckless. "Hey, therre a funnel cloud right over our heads. Let's get out of the car!" 

[dedlyduo1217]

how do you people get so close to these tornadoes without getting sucked up in them?

[cpbff9478]

you could at least turn the radio down a little

[ShimmerStar98]

AND I HATE THAT EMERGENCY BEEPING ON THE RADIO, ITS FREAKS ME OUT!!!

Radio: BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEP

Me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShimmerStar98]

i live in a place where there are no tornados, but when i was in 3rd grade, the teacher said tornado warning, and i was like "what the?"

[lostinvast]

wow. Respect mother nature. That is beautiful and so scary at the same time.

[Semitruckman101]

uhhhh possible tornatic activity??? lol radio :)

[TheBennychin]

At the begining it was really scary and it get's less scary, and then it gets scarier and scarier as it gets closer, but who cares! I dig scary! awesome!!!!!!!!

[Alex49railfan]

Wow you guys were nearly in it before it touched down that was like a supercell touch down INCREDIBLE

[MrBammy1]

Dude u guys shud be on discovery channel, AND THE WEATHER CHANNEL!!

[trialas]

[lucgh2007]

[RandomKidsRule]

[RjDubzOfficial]

@trialas its a power flash its when it goes over power lines n fks em up n sht

[techman823]

i live in canada but i really would like to go to texas



[TheMultiHope]

The car in front of you has nothing to do with you right? Because there called "Storm Chasers" and there on Discovery Channel. I say you should be on Discover Channel!

[TheMultiHope]

Its like, we are with you guys...and we (us audience) are enjoying your shows. Keep amusing me!

[jumpman1233]

i love how you guys develop opinions on each guy on the team, like its Lost or something...

[darthhvader]

you guys got one hell of a catch!! mighty impressive!!:)

[alaskakiska]

YOU GUYS ROCK WISH I WAS THERE

[curzad5511]

Do the chasers stay in contact with anyone from the NWS to help warn people?

[nfsracer14]

there you can see that reed timmer (another storm chaser) is in the middle of that awsome twister

[ghostman3331]

was that a dirt devil

[sniperkid4361]

f4 guys

[dragonridley]

@sniperkid4361

This was actually and EF2

[DREAMR0W]

NOTE: I MADE THIS COMMENT B4 I WACHED VID!. Is NE tornado wers than f4?

[BurnoutRacer2009]

@DREAMR0W no it was a EF2/3 Tornado with winds over 222 KM/H

[dragonridley]

@DREAMR0W

This tornado was an EF2 if that's what you're asking.

If you're asking if there's something worse than an F4, then yes. The very strongest of tornadoes are rated F5 (or, since February 2007, EF5). Such tornadoes are very rare.

[Chiofvi79]

I dont understand why when nature is performing such a majestic spectacle of violence, people is taking shelter, or hidding anywhere. I couldn't miss this awesome show if I was living there. Its dangerous, but just if you dont know how storms work. With a little knowledge, everyone might enjoy this phenomenon.

[2009stormchaser]

wow i like that inflow base

[aussieb007]

WAY TO CLOSE MAN WAY TO CLOSE!

[wizwang]

0:29 Dominator spotting! : )

[aneal138]

That was effin magical

[GothicxDeathxGirlx85]

dude it was forming right there in front of you guys! i'd call that suicide man!

[Xinsden]

you guys are crazy to put yourselves close to tornadoes, but what you record is awesome and can sorta teach people lessons too :P

[ghostgunner2222]

Awesome

[IAMLC15]

That thing is like a side winder holy crap

[carllehot]

thats impressive !

[xsensorydeceptionx]

oh fuckin crazy footage though 5/5

[xsensorydeceptionx]

if that guy were my friend i would punch him in the nose, he is troublesome at best.

[TommyJoebowers1tycoo]

Great, even superb footage. Try shhhhhhhh next time instead of "right there! Right there! Right ip there, over there! Look there!"

[Snowstar837]

The radio alarm system came on a little friking late

[shing8851]

a bunch of dumass won't move from that tornado thats underthem 0:19

[kaboonify]

You can't tell but really that tornado was an E-F 2 with winds ranging from 111-135 miles per hour. It looks more like an E-F 5 or F-4.

[dragonridley]

Just goes to show that it isn't about size

[Pkm188]

At first it just looks like little dust-devils caused by RFD, but that exploded into something big...insane!

[LuvsTstormTapes]

I love all parts of this superbly awesome in-depth tornado footage...I also love seeing the ''tail cloud'' as well as the lightning off in the distance.... Amazing on how this tornado grew to monster size towards the end..and so many fearless video-goers made such closeup tornado footages that we even seldom see in the Evening News...! BTW..my 8/8/08-Tstorm video's got a tornado-like cloud!

[christian2300]

Superbe Video !!!! Attention les gars, vous risquez votre vie !

[Lazzer1990]

I love the lightning!

[Stringprodigy]

You guys have balls of steel! I would have shat myself...

[TheEliminator1992]

holy shit!

[leladospassos]

Uau esse vídeo é impressionante !!! Parabéns

[stormlover28]

nice inflow tail

[Ins3minator]

Amazing video!

[StraberriesBlonde]

wow dude are u panicking having a panick attack or something ur like hypervenolating! haha but nice vid

[sawyersway]

Man guy, you really need to relax! Good footage but dont have a heart attack!

[orgonissimo]

wow!!! (from italy)

[whyjay12]

I Was there!!!

[junabee27]

@whyjay12 U WERE?!?! Was it cool? Ive never seen one in person at all

[MatthewCasey]

I would hate for this to be where I live, but I would love to see it for myself.

[jdoggybizzle]

That's a huge fatty

[jakez069]

1:12 wtf was that?

[ForeverLka]

OMG ! It's so scary !! It's really scary ..

[Adamsguitar426]

im scared just wachin it

[TheMKShow101]

yea meto

[Zebrails]

You might wanna add a wee bit of language caution for the videos. Little Bobby might get enthused, but he may also tell mommy that the video was ****ing awesome.

The videos are great. You people are doing an incredible job... and you're having fun, too.

By the way, do you get funding to do this sort of thing?

[transnatic]

little bobby probably knows more bad words than you :-)

[jeffBIGGIE]

That was a badass tornado. Sweet Jesus.

[retroolschool]

This is a great video, yes! Twister 2, yes! Same actors, no.

[bluntbeast]

hahahaha

[puncheex]

It appears that one of the major dangers of storm chasing is the likelihood of having a collision with one or more other chasers out there. I doubt that country road has seen that kind of traffic in months.

[iron1215]

They should make a Twisters 2 movie and bring back those same actors. Who's with me:)

[pvtchef66]

I second that request!

[ProfessorIgor]

getting this close to the beast is a good way to make it your last chase. Responsible chasing doesn't put you in the circulation !! They are very fortunate that they didn't film their own deaths.

[PupuTheClown]

I guess they were driving something heavy and large, this was in its developing stages, the timing was just right, very lucky.

[iruleyou0426]

The lightning looks mean lol.

[pollyf]

someone take the camera away from these guys and beat them over the freaking head with it!  If you're gong to be "storm chasers" at least learn how to hold a camera straight!

[rudolphna54]

You hold a camera straight when the wind is blowing 60+ MPH

[asg631]

Is that long cloud @ 0:40 what they call a "Beaver tail" cloud?

[taraann80]

yes that was a beaver tail

[ProfessorIgor]

indeed it is.... indicates a strong inflow.

[atwyatt]

Incredible footage! You guys are crazy.

[Breaker3051]

They need to shut off the radio

[willemesperet]

big, but not verry strong.

[quisqueyamami]

Its a F5 tornado

[dragonridley]

From the damage I'd say it was an EF3 which is still pretty strong. Even weak tornadoes can be huge though.

[ProfessorIgor]

don't be an idiot.... none of them would be alive, if even identifiable had this been an F5...

[Ty24688]

not trying to bad mouth anyone but ProfessorIgor is right this was a Very dangerous situation and Dick and Darin got very very lucky if it would have changed even a little bit the outcome could have been much worse, but there is always an inherent risk in chasing any storm in this case Dick and Darin got lucky and it payed off for them but i would not suggest anyone doing this that dose not know what they are doing and even if you do be careful and try not to put your self in a bad situation.

[mdgn]

guys, you're crazy :p n1

[none013]

you guys are so fuckin crazy :DD

[none013]

OMG! that's crazy xDD

[IowaStrmChsr]

This is just plain STUPIDITY, What a bunch of idiots. Not only the idiots taping this but also the idiots driving through this. Its these actions that give the rest of us chasers a bad name... Clean up your act. and if you are a chaser then you need to chase responsibly. I love to chase, but first and formost is my safety and those around me at ALL times. Worst video I've seen

[dragonridley]

It's unfortunate that all the good shots are close range then.

[foblovurr]

gosh what a jerk! they are still alive arent they??

[dragonlover7196]

i thought it was kinda funny that the radio was talking during the tornado, dont ask i just think random things are funny sometimes XD

[Psychicqueen]

I thought it was hilarious that they were listening to the weather while they were getting out of the car to get footage of the tornado.

[FlintF]

Ditto. Very good video guys, one of the least shaky ones I've seen, but you could have turned some attention to your soundtrack.

[Schipoohead]

lol, he said dick out of the road

[cjwalshr20]

this thing was like 20 miles from where i live in sutton nebraska i want to see one in real life it would be awesome just as long as it says the f*ck away from me rofl

[mathew17986g]

you would think when a big tornado is crossing the road and your friend tells you to STOP you would stop. but for some reason some people dont know were the break is

[rmaniscalco]

i woulda nut my pants thats shit is fucking awesome!!!!! i wanna see 1 for real before i die and no i dont wanna die in it.

[ashleymorazzo]

hahahaha

[PanicPhantom]

Amazing. I would have died if that tornado hit where i live...

[TD23DevinHester]

whowe 5:13 lightning strikes

[kylelandon]

They are actually power flashes. From the damaging winds/debris hitting power lines and power transformers.

[iguire]

Big balls..........No brains!

[DudeDie222]

This was only an EF2.

[zwollywood1978]

man i'm glad we don't have that shit back here in holland

[billgrip]

I would have peed my pants.

[johncena123456789123]

wow awesome tornado how many tornados have u seen

[nockspitze]

quite dangerous footage

[wetheguys]

u guys have serious balls for doing that...wat an awesome tornado!!!!

[longrangegillie]

man you guyes have balls o steel

[diah4]

This is hands down the best tornado footage I have ever seen.

WOW. You guys were extra close. Ya'll some good ones, b/c I be damned if I roll up on a tornado.

It's cool to get an inside view though.

[WOLFENCT]

Outstanding footage! Excellent work chasers!!!

[Elementalbamkid]

haha you gotta love it when he yells "DICK OUTA THE ROAD!"

[mlr2107]

AWESOME! Im so gonna chase tornadoes when im older

[bboyjtek]

life insurance. thats all i gotta say.

[tornadochaserX]

Yep me too!

[jacqueezy12]

that last shot was amazing!!!! with the explosions!!! really great video!

[RedAndGoldUSC]

Did that guy just get pounded by a tornado, 100MPH winds, and not get blown away?

I'm guessing he's a PRETTY BIG person.

[JBetal88]

dang amazing video

[Pkr]

Good final photos but this must have been a first storm for these guys... the language and photography could be improved on their second storm.... but, they were excited...

[tremer88]

that must have been 100mph winds that hit you

[MDJDwD]

wow this guy has doesnt fear death huh

[ccraig412]

GTFO BITCH! haha had to say it. muahh ha ha

[photekxl]

you are irrelevant

[5centsproductions]

so big and at 5:29 it shows electric explosions i think

[ai2114]

powerflashes. so basicly yupp

[TornadoChaser4life]

Just look at the beaver tail on that supercell.Just a beautiful inflow tail!!

[jabberwolf]

Awesome shot of the beginning.

Kinda got pissed when the other chases ran closer to it in your scene!

They were late, you were there at the start!

[Uryukurosaki]

Hey, when we're out, to me, as long as everyone's got it, it's all good.
