Looking Up Into A Tornado (Jacksonville, Florida)

[angelkid79]

I remember this day well. I was over near Cassat ave watching. You guys did a great job getting this vid.

[jessaleigh06]

I remember this. That was one crazy day.

[benrodzisbeast]

Looks like a flesh light

[somedudewithahoodie]

Im surprise o one just said LETS GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!

[lemonadecupcakes]

You are lucky it was just a funnel cloud, because wow.  Right under it! Had it touched down and became a tornado... yikes.

[JanaINJax]

Looks like the Riverside area! Regardless, this is pretty awesome! What a rare opportunity!! Thanks for sharing!!

[HOTDOGRUS999]

Tarnado like pines

[andyjv2000]

@HOTDOGRUS999 So do people who can't spell.

[firestonemagic]

Agrees with Jay. I used to live in Ohio- flattest part in the US that I know of after much traveling and you got lucky, REAL lucky. In reality- it's scary as heck but looking back I am kind of laughing at the commentary- you guys sound like comedian weather meteorlogists. "todays weather forcast, well it seems to be getting windier, ALOT windier- watch out for 2mph winds." LOL

[Link4093]

its getting a littler windy out there, well duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hh

[jayhoyt28]

I live in KS but was in Jax for 2 years. But you guys really dont know how lucky you were that it didnt intensify because they can get much stronger within seconds and you being right in it...you would have been screwed. But still, great shots.

[jessshaun623]

[Namikaze1230]

Holy shit thats nere my school

[davidgons09]

the thingggggggggggggggggggggggggg­ggggggggggggggggg is in jacks

[soulfultenor]

that was not a Tornado, it's a funnel cloud, what U experienced was frontline wind, until a funnel cloud touches down it's defined as such. I know, I live 2 hours east I remember the weather reported this event.

[gabrielgcox]

@soulfultenor The National Weather Service confirmed this as an EF-0 tornado. I was in direct contact with them discussing what I saw/filmed and the damage reports. We were on the southern end of the winds rotating into the funnel. We were never technically inside the tornado but on the very edge as it passed literally feet from our office. As I was panning up into the funnel, the circulation on the ground one block away was toppling trees onto cars and ripping siding off of houses.

[gabrielgcox]

@soulfultenor here is the original video. You can make out the debris field a little better: youtube.com/watch?v=T9Efi8LwUf­s

[soulfultenor]

@gabrielgcox, ok Thanks Gabe. how was your Thanksgiving ?

[soulfultenor]

[dragonridley]

At the time it hit them I'm not sure it was strong enough to be considered a tornado when is struck. It it was it would be a VERY weak EF0.
