WTF

[Emiliano7342]

very very impressive

[txiong076]

[will79601]

how beautiful!

[pinewood8091]

stick more to the closer shots stop fucking zooming out numbnut bastard

[aussieb007]

if u look closley youll see a car getting pinned!

[2000Dennisk]

wideds the coaster puff

[jtw10able]

Awesome when I went to ks there were so many tornadoes nice vid

[dragonridley]

Nope, It was an EF2

[shing8851]

wow

[smoothoperator1986]

Lets get in front of it and drop a censer pack" just like in the show twister" WHAT AM I NUTS!!!

[psydrui23]

the width and motion of a tornado does not determine it's strength and the strength of a tornado can vary. take for instance the May 3, 1999 tornado in Moore, Ok. as it moved through Chikasha it produced F3 damage but as it moved into Newcastle and Bridge Creek it produced sporatic F4 damage. but for a very narrow swath in the town of Moore it produced F5 damage. the intensity is determined on the amount and type of damage it does.

[evilemperordude]

@psydrui23 But width I'd think would still factor into how much damage there is. You'd probably have more damage from a mile wide tornado than one of the really thin ones. More wide spread damage anyway,

[wxguy192]

No, it was a solid EF3.

[dragonridley]

Officially rated EF2.

[dutchpridewoohoo]

wtf a dumbass passed,thats really suicidal =S

its a massive f4/f5

[dragonridley]

You can't judge by size. This was an EF2.

[shadowhades125]

whos the dumbass who passed by u guys at 1:15 or 1:16 or :1:14

[SpartanofOracle]

omg! At 1:15, who in hell passes you on the left? Some freak driving toward an F5 tornado?

[dragonridley]

It isn't an F5.

[wooball95]

f3 f4 tops

[klaaaan]

You have no idea how these twisters can humble you till you have been through one.

[kamak894]

That's one wicked tornado --- and I'm not easily impressed by those dusty funnels of wind. Way to go! :-D

[EssedariusMaiestas]

"i am a god!" exclaimed the algorians.

"i created this twister by farting, exhaling and driving my vehicle."

hence, by eliminating some of those things, i can prevent such twisters from occuring.

.....oh, and lets not forget the hugely significant reduction of my carbonfootprint by purchasing carbonoffsets from algore's company (and paying more taxes).

algorians, your time has come as the people have become effectively conditioned to do your bidding.

-.-

[drav1dan]

"Ours is the only true god!" exclaimed the bigotts. "Amen!" chimed in the neoconmen.

"Our god has given us this planet to do as we please. So climate change is just a myth".

Then the scientists showed them melting glaciers & ice. The bigotts & neoconmen hemmed & hawed for a while & suddenly exclaimed "All that is real but just natural climate cycle, not man made. Yeah, that's the ticket". Then they got into their giant trucks (24 gallons/mile) & drove off - a cliff.

The earth celebrated.

[vikturi]

Is that true? lol

[r1ckr0b]

The bird at 2:07 is like wtf.....

[vikturi]

ya lol

[Nedasaurus]

WHAT HAPPENS IF THAT TOUCHES YOU?

[CookieMonstersTattoo]

You get ripped into peices

[Jammer5263]

you dead most likely, but sometimes people live and end up like a mile or two away from their houses

[insanerefrain]

anyone notice at 0:40 theres a second funnel cloud dropping from the main cloud right at the top of the screen?

[DeepDarkNight93]

I see that too.

[alextothehbro]

If I'm seeing what you're seeing, I think that's the same funnel, you just can't see the rest of it because of the debris cloud.

[insanerefrain]

no no your right, it is the same, there probably isnt not enough dust and moisture in the funnel to make it visible tho

[alextothehbro]

Just to add, I've been wanting to be a storm chaser since I was 6 years old. Then the movie Twister came out, I still watchit frequently to this day. I used to draw them all the time.  This is some intense footage!

[insanerefrain]

haha, i watch twister from time to time 2, but i usually skip the first part with the dad dying cuz i saw that when i was like 7 or 8

and it scared me pale, so yea haha

[muhahahaish]

[doctorspankluv]

A toad is always a frog, but all frogs are not toads. I hope we've all learned a valuable lesson here.

[AlumDixonP]

hey its that bird again from the first video

[frenchbullfrog]

colossal Video !!!!

[nockspitze]

what a monster.

[mycatownsurdog]

this came out on my b day =)

[Jah77forever]

I am really curious. Does it rain with a tornado? Is it just a funnel cloud that forms the storm?.

[BowserSC]

Yes it does. Usually though the strong rotation up high prevents from rain falling all the time. That's why you see a lot of hail with tornados with no rain. If there is rain and it's a strong twister, it could be rain wrapped and you won't be able to see it.

[Jah77forever]

Thank you for the info.

[RedAndGoldUSC]

Tornadoes form from swirling winds in a storm, and storms usually bring rain. Hail is more commonly reported during a tornado, though.

And if there is a rainless storm, call me.

[wxguy192]

It probably depends upon how you define a "storm", but there ARE relatively rain-free thunderstorms! These are called "dry thunderstorms", and develop in environments with a very dry low-level atmosphere that results in rain produced by the storm to evaporate before it reaches the ground. These types of storms are quite common in the western U.S. in summer, and they can be the source of many wildfires. There are also LP (low-precipitation) supercells that produce little in the way of rain.

[wxguy192]

In a storm such as the one that produced this tornado, the rain and hail often fall before the tornado (assuming you are not moving). In supercells, the updraft (where a mesocyclonic tornado develops) is located upshear (i.e. usually to the southwest this time of year in this part of the country) of the main heavy rain and hail. There often is large hail that falls around the tornado, though this varies from storm to storm (and time to time). Some storms do produce blinding rain near the tor.

[dragonridley]

And those tornadoes, are especially dangerous because they're hard to see.

[LupusGER]

this thing is huge!

[ahok101]

tats wat she said

[Emmyw0lf4life]

LMAOO

[multicashwin]

Awsome video's guy's. Thanks!! Tornado's rule!

[itzmykeeF0shO]

that thing is massive!

[maddenwhisperer]

WOW!

[amath12345]

why anyone would want to live there is beyond me...

[mergatroidal]

Rather, why a renegade architect hasn't designed tornado resistant structures yet ... is beyond me!

The Frank Lloyd Wright of tornado dwellings probably hasn't been born yet, is why ... .

[isokessu]

2:08 look at that bird

[Taino187]

Yah... it was like... im getting the frack outta here!

[gungagin]

JEFF SNYDER:Please take the copyright out of the video! It detracts from what is being filmed!

[Sator8]

I bet Todalen was pooping in his pants !

[holofiz]

Superb vid!

Storm chasing looks so cool, i wanna do this!

[squeezeslemons]

looks like an F-1 to me lol jk

[wellshii]

what was the fujita scale on that?

[RippenDentor]

I guess F 3...

[wellshii]

you guess?lol.i directed my question to the one who filmed,not someone who guesses.

[RippenDentor]

Well seems as if nobody answered yet but me.

Who cares lol stay cool dude.

If you really want to know better write directly to TornadoVideosdotnet because they usual don't answer questions posted as comment.

:-)

Nyano

[wellshii]

[RippenDentor]

:D there you go!

[GamingPalooza]

DAMN thats gonna make a cow fly for sure.

[2346]

mooo

[mothartrucker]

great footage, that looked beastly.

[mabas21]

Front page of Yahoo News this morning with this twister, great job guys and as always awesome footage. Chasing in good old Indiana today I am sure. Keep up the great work and as always stay safe

[liz17eb]

zoom in... zoom out... zoom in... zoom out - really could have done less only for the fact that it made me sick to watch - I love tornado footage though, awesome vantage points here!

[GilbertsonDerick]

Looks exactly like the tornado recorded in Kansas in the '60's with all of that dust.

[phillyblunt007]

ummm after a while doesnt it look like the Great Bend Tornado?

[KDAY24]

IT DOES! 8-)

[phillyblunt007]

i knew it dam i got a good memory i saw the Great Bend Tornado clip 3 months ago XD

[LaMarudera]

awesome and scary....

[yahooveritas]

Yikes! If that is an EF-2, I don't want to see an EF-5. Scary!

[mugises012]

that a EF-4 OR EF-5 FOR SURE

[Lazera]

Not always. The size of the tornado means nothing in terms to how it's rated on the Fujita scale. It may be big, but it's scale is determined by how fast the winds are. For now, all I can tell is that it's a wedge tornado.

[wxguy192]

It's not really a wedge tornado. It was relatively large, but that doesn't make it a wedge. "Wedge" tornadoes are those that are wider than they are tall. In this case, many chasers were close to the tornado, so it looked very wide. The tornado was a truncated cone that transitioned to a barrel.

[vanni9283]

@wxguy192

Also, they were only filming the part of the tornado that was touching the ground for the most part.

[Vampiropla]

real impressive video. makes me want to storm chase that much more.

[Sotellme01]

Never hit Aurora, thank god.

[police115041]

classic TWISTER  movie ending at 3:18

[djdice19]

Tornado was rated as an EF2. Luckily, it dissipated a mile or two before going over Aurora. It destroyed 1 house, de-railed a train, and did some damage to a pet food plant and local crops. As of now, it is believed that no one was killed.

[izzyanddennyfan]

THAT

IS

SOOOO

AWESOME

[tonylikehotgirl]

that was a big ass tornado..i stand corrected as an F-5 tornado.

[nats316]

that's huge!

[moe405]

That is one amazing piece of nature there!

[Airodishiin]

wow wow wow the dust at the beginning of the tornado looks so damn awesome !!! good job man !

[meemeerzzzz]

Did it ever hit aurora?

[xBXRxAaron]

Don't think it did

[FA22RaiseHell]

That looks like an F-3 or an F-4 twister.

[PulseOfTheAdvant]

[CelticDragon0]

[Uhhxhi]

[billgrip]

This is like 10 miles from where I grew up! Crazy. I have friends who live out there!!!

[HyperActive7]

Oh my..

I bet Vortex2 is kicking themselves to the ground.. Mother nature was playing a game with those guys and she burned them big time!

In all seriousness..

THAT is something I do not want to cross paths with!

[HeinitzProductions]
