Tuscaloosa Tornado 4-15-11

[MultiJacob2012]

My bDAY is April 27th

[junkyard355regal]

The amount of knowledge/advice in these comments that came from watching Stormchasers is terrifying..

[azduststorm22]

Also that was my birthday

[azduststorm22]

Holy crap that powerflash I have to subscribe

[RU4BN8OUT]

I'd have to say that the shots of the trees are fucking spectacular....

[AzzarClarKyy95]

that tornado could not have been any worse than an F0 or F1?

[DarkFilmDirector]

Also that this wasn't the signficant one that hit just about a week later. If it was a stronger one, at 90 yards, you would have been injured by debris and been in danger of being drug into an inflow

[DarkFilmDirector]

You were lucky to be standing on one of the outflow jets

[johnny0g]

those people are real asses!

[ranger1843]

I am a meteorologist. Judging from the changing direction of the wind flow, the damage, and the tranformer sparks; your title is quite accurate. Thank you so much for sharing!

[MegaCheesenuggets]

lol 0:30 holy crap just the way he says it makes me laugh

[BizzWin2010]

what is so funny about being in the midst of a tornado?

[weatherstorms]

I would run if I were in this situation.

[TheComputerMaster]

[DigitalJediMaster]

@1r0nsn1p3r Don't be dim.

[erasetoimprove]

You can see the tornado at 0:48

[TailsandCosmo10001]

The McDonald's sign! =O It actually SHOOK the foundation of advertising!!! That's one powerful tornado.

[dazednconfused96]

how could you not b scared dude...lol i live in alberta canada n never seen a tornado b4..lol

[TheCemetarian]

wow........wow..........

[bravo45th]

Wow the McDonalds sign exploded!!

[TheBob0312]

McDonalds exploded... Too tasty?

[Scareuh6]

I would have been SHITTING A FUCKING BRICK. Actually, I'd be shitting a whole brick house. Fuck that noise. Omg.

[TheCemetarian]

WOW..WOW.....HAHAHAHAHAHA

[synthesyzer]

@ 0:48 you can even see a funnel! Cool vid man, realllly close

[effthisnoise1]

Awesome video!

[SecretService80]

That looks like the hotel MLK Jr. was shot at in '68.

[jrwel14]

Have seen the damage from an EF5 tornado. Wish you all the best

[cArNeGiEization]

Fantastic!!! I really felt like I was there! Commentary.. Was pretty cool, Only thing that bugged me was that you said " Wow " too much... I probably would have done and said the same thing. Overall 9.7 rating.. Keep filming!!!

[32a595]

You can obviously see he was really close and this wasn't inflow. The debris is blowing left to right and then right to left as the tornado passed by. Clearly it's the circulation not the straight-line inflow.

[SMITEM1]

Didnt the tornado hit on the 17th?

[heckler171]

as the hicks down in the "heart" of america say "get her done" yep God is getting u done. finishing you so that you'll never be about to terror another underserving ppl again. cheers lets toast to the fall of AMERICA

[SabanownsLes]

@heckler171 dumbass

[rjrocks03]

you have balls, just saying

[717rch]

war damn eagle

[quartarola]

jesus christ at 0:29

[jokermethis]

Did this part of Tuscaloosa survive Wednesday too?

[binkxth]

@jokermethis yes...the damage from the "big one" was concentrated about a mile north.

[32nodoubt]

I thought it was pretty good, screw the person who called you an idiot they're the one smoking crack

[jfstarr]

I've passed gas more devastating than that

[NinjaDag1]

I don't know if you are lucky, extremely brave, totally nuts or just dumb to stand there and film this! I would've hidden somewhere!

[ACEOO8]

WHY IS THERE A BIG  STUPID ADD IN THE WAY - THATS STUPID Ô¿Ô

[RedCloudBeechWaveAhh]

WOW!!

I was thinking, "this guy is INSANE" but you made it, all's well, and I'm glad you were being a fool, so we could see this! thanks

[MrRhyme24]

many many wows in this vid it must have been exciting i wonder if some one made a stupid comment yet about putting thumbs up for the people who lost their lives or homes. cause it seems like your happy they died or became homeless when a tornado hits you ill make sure i clap and give you two thumbs up and five stars if we see you fly on a vid

[awil9506]

is it freakier to be in a tornado or an earthquake

[mindblone]

It wasnt even coming toward the guy. It was going right to left about a a 1/4 mile away.

[Jacechance1]

@mindblone uh please watch my other video. This tornado touched down on the north parking lot of the motel I was in. that would be about 90 yards from where I took this video.

[mindblone]

First off this idiot doesnt even film the actual tornado. He only feels and sees the inflow. If you look hard you will see the tornado come into the video around 45 seconds. The at 50 seconds he turns away. I think this idiot is high on crack if you ask me.

[Jacechance1]

@mindblone the reason I didnt stay on the funnel was due to the powerful winds I was trying to get away from. this tornado touched down on the north parking lot of the motel I was in.

[binkxth]

@mindblone i think he was excited and scared i know i was this day and in the 27th when i was driving on 15th st. it was til after that i wished i would have filmed it better, edited my language, and it wasnt until i drove into rosedale that i even realized there was loss of life.

[SimoWill75]

@mindblone

Yep you're right.

Twister at 0:47 behind the distant trees.

[Hope4Africa1]

@mindblone Dude! cut this guy some slack! he was out their filming it and tornadoes can change direction *snap* just like that and could come toward him. He wasn't even safe out their but he did for OUR entertainment.

[roflimhungry]

how many beers were put into making this video? hahaaha

[balisstick]

you are a crazy dude to shoot a video of a tornado coming towards you. great footage you should be known as the crazy tornado guy, take that name its yours now. you are now known as the crazy tornado guy. once again best video ever to catch a tornado coming towards you.

[east4th]

He is funny, sorry for all those who died and lost home. Don't know how you protect yourself from this.

PS: Watch HORATIO'S ODYSSEY

Peace USA

[pg1171]

Loks ike fun! Where were you located? Never mind. I figured out where you were!

[pg1171]

Loks ike fun! Where were you located?

[reressler]

Thanks for sharing this; glad you didn't get hurt.

[MyBestAnswers]

I was so scared when I lived in the south because when the sky gets black like that, it feels so eerie. You are braver than I am, cause I used to sleep in my closet when we had this kind of weather!

I grew up with earthquakes in the Bay Area, and they were nothing compared to this. God bless everyone in the south, our prayers are with you!

[TheNewMoon333]

But is the Subway ok?!?!?!?!?

[Jacechance1]

@TheNewMoon333 yes the Subway is still there... I just got a sandwich there.

[Hunkola]

@Jacechance1 ---- I'm glad the Subway survived......they make tasty subs

[TheNewMoon333]

@Jacechance1 Thank Heavens!!! :D

[gethsemeny]

Why does God hate the Bible Belt so much?

[rgneufeld]

@gethsemeny It's not that God hates the bible belt. He just knows they have the guts to handle it.

[gethsemeny]

@rgneufeld Oh I see. So when a disaster strikes elsewhere, like Haiti, it's because God was angry. But when one strikes Christians it's because God likes them.

[florida995]

Good video. Thanks.

[12081985]

you are sure such a daredevil!

[mikaylastar2]

wish you guys all the best of luck up there! this earth needs to get back to normal its just not right anymore! :O

[9b8]

Roger that! Let's run like hell! (Half Life) LOL

[solitaire2k10]

I wonder who is the imbecile filming and having so much fun while others were counting the death and his neighbourhoods flattened...

[Jacechance1]

@solitaire2k10 seriously?!?! this tornado was a cat ef0-1 that came through on april 15th. no death toll in Tuscaloosa with that storm. So before you make stupid comments trying to flame people do some research.. or better yet just read the title it says it all.

[binkxth]

@Jacechance1 i dont care what ef it was i was in the parking lot of the dirtcheap store and had to run in the store... if i was still outside the death toll could have been 1.... but it is exciting when you are there in the moment.

[Dirtracer117]

@solitaire2k10 this wasn't the big one on wensday.

[binkxth]

@Dirtracer117 no this was the one 2 weeks before.. we were also hit wednesday morning in some spots but i cant find video of that one.

[bonzophuebes1]

Good vid but if you were outside, why didnt you move the camera away from the trees and show the street... Sounded cool but boring....

[thealexys11]

HOLLLLLLLY CRAPP GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!!!!

[babysisv]

WHATCHA MEAN WOW!? GET YOUR ASS INSIDE! ;-)

[frock83]

Yea the bay

[Jacechance1]

And as for the McDonald sign..,. It's still there as well as the mcdonalds. The most recent tornado hit about two miles away from where this video was shot. Sooo what else you got for me

[Winston30187]

the sad thing is these guys are probably not around after Wednesday's storm. It's eerie to know that this was the same path as the F4 that struck.

If you commented or posted this, let us know if you're still around. That same McDonald's sign is gone now, and so is the McDonald's

[justinhamer]

meanwhile in cali we be soakin up hella sun kickin it in the bay :]

[TheMaliciousStorm]

Also I find it sad that a lot of people who do take cover still can end up dead, yet people who's filming are often missed. I wouldn't wish it on anyone to get hit, but I swear the ones who are filming and standing outside are asking to die. :(

[binkxth]

@TheMaliciousStorm after seeing the devastation first hand on Wednesday.. i would rather be in my car where i can at least try to get away then wait it out in my closet wondering when my house is going to fall on my head.

[TheMaliciousStorm]

@binkxth I'm starting to think the same now. I'm having a bit of anxiety over it even though my area didn't get hit. It's that thought that it could have been us. I agree with you about being in a vehicle.

[TheMaliciousStorm]

Omg...I would have been panicking.....

[Turninpoint]

Between :45 n :50 is a good shot of the tornado.

[babyzee256]

Thats How You Kno Your From The Sount... Stand Outside And Watch A Tornado

[joemonster55]

That just goes to show you what'll happen if you eat too much McDonalds... you blow up.

[JoeFanatic01]

How can u be laughing when everythings being torn down and ruined and theres a tornado commin strait toward ya! Wow u must b really syco lol im jk but i do think ur an idiot for standin out there and not takin some kind of cover

[MartaM95]

It's funny that you weren't worried, your laugh is epic. Glad you guys are okay !

[xxguitardude93xx]

My pants would have been full of shit

[Fourteen88SoCal]

thats fucking crazy....I would say I hope no one gets hurt.....but that's not the case unfortunately :(

[RawrDinosaurKiller]

NOT THE MCDONALDS SIGN!!!!

[Plemith]

he must be Dave! Yognaught :O

[UTGguy88]

that was close

[1gamoguy]

great footage, but are you god damn suicidal???

[lostindiancamp]

Something so powerful and deadly goes by that quick.

[kuhndog52]

0:29 BZZZZZZZZZZZZT

[Liv11Knox]

Dude I really don't see what was so freaking funny. Hundreds of people lost their lives.. Some as you were making this video. It's serious. You should feel terrible.

[bryanjblake]

@Liv11Knox  Different tornado man, chill. Look at the date

[bryanjblake]

@Liv11Knox Different tornado man, chill. Look at the date.

[BamaAnna78]

@Liv11Knox I am pretty sure he isn't thinking about people getting killed... it looks like he is a young kid being stupid getting some pretty good video of the thing...I am sure now he wishes he wasn't laughing..

[NekojinAmako]

At about 0:45 in, you can see the tornado. Damn, it was sitting right in front of you, you're lucky you moved back! XD

Also, what was that guy saying to you from about 2:05 and on?

[garrettaldenashley]

Great video.



[Kairi56469]

DAMN DUDE HOW ARE YOU THIS RETARDED? But daring.

[ZillaRocks]

That thing went right over your head and all you have to say is "holy crap?"

[miltabib]

Sick Buzz you got there !! Just after you smoke that joint !! Sick rush ! @ 1:06 is my favorite one

[Lsturbo801]

dam thats crazy

[miltabib]

Sick Buzz you got there !! Just after you smoke that joint !! Sick rush !

[hopdiddyisthebest]

Regular person in Tornado: OMGOMGOMG RUN AND HIDE!!!! You: Let's record this thing! Hahaha! Also, what do birds do in tornadoes...

[DivineScheme]

That's crazy, and people still driving around like nothing happened! :P

[USAxOWNS1776]

@DivineScheme tornadoes arnt as bad for people who have actually bin in one. Its like gods weiner slowly rubbing the ground hoping to pick up whatever he can get there realy scary like this one but you get use to them

[miajoey73]

That was crazy as hell.

[rightonduesh]

the least thing this numb nuts could have done was to at least tie him self down to the railing. you could have easily been flying thru the air.

[mgrella63]

dude you were so lucky the funnel was right on top of you! Next time take cover its not worth your life

[jonathan7101]

aww theyre best friends now lol 

[guitpik]

Damn! This isn't the one from 4-27 even!

[Gtrplyr1]

is that the actual tornado on camera at 46 seconds in?

[ClumsyRoot]

OMG!!! Were you killed???

[1998232v6]

you know the shit is hitting the fan when the sky turns green

[amars50]

Not thanks to me (amars50). Thanks to The one posting the video.

[amars50]

Thanks to Jacechance1 for taking the video and posting

[amars50]

Thanks. Guess if you can't get out of the way, plan to leave behind a video log of what happened.

[Hope4Africa1]

your video was played on the news!

[websitesthatsell]

Sounds like Boston Rob :)

[wedge420]

You can see the funnel half way through your video, good catch.

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

...or as we in the South like to call it....feel up your sister day because we're all gonna die.

[cstalley]

I used to live in those apartments behind that Wendy's right next to Univ. Downs, in the early 90s. Sad.

[maktorri9]

I would have shit in my pants. I am terrified of tornadoes!!!!

[VillageThinking]

quick, somebody autotune this, that "Woooow!" is awesome. Better than the Double Rainbow guy.

[muzicman406]

WHy is it so funny? You could have lost your life. Thanks for the video though. But I hope Ttown will get a lot of help. I have family that live there

[GoldenGuy2003]

Where was Obummer for natural disaster relief? Or does he hate white people?

[drewnickel]

at 0:46 you can see the tornado in the right side of the video throwing around debris

[skipke2020]

From the video I've seen of today's tornado no one would have lived getting this close to it. Hope everyone there is ok.

[amywood71605]

Tuscaloosa just got hit hard.....another tornado today...tons of damage...my thoughts and prayers with all of you!

[kingmackattack42]

It's unbelievable just how fast those sparks were moving. Is that the O from the McDonald's sign lying next to the telephone pole?

[kingmackattack42]

There is another vid on the 'tube" that was taken by two dudes in their car while chasing this same twister. They passed right by motel 6 on McFarland Blvd(Hwy 82) about 2 minutes after the thing went by. Nice catch!

[Ameran1]

Iam not moving back to Tuscaloosa. That is some scary stuff.

[Ameran1]

Iam not moving back to Tuscaloosa. That is some scary sh#t.

[bamagym]

cool, but did you realized you missed the whole tornado while it was going thru? you panned right, as the bigger part of the funnel was passing right in front of you, darn, awesome awesome vid tho

[demsi208]

Great video. We were at the Jameson Inn about a mile away, saw the tornado forming just east of our location, pretty scary. Glad everyone is ok after such a horrific storm.

[phunkblister]

NOT THE SUBWAYS.EAT FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEESH!!!!!

[reddy12131171]

Wow I didn't notice the funnel till the end!!! Kick ass vid and the mc donalds sign blowing up was funny as fuck lmao!!!!

[cryptickissy]

I hope you didn't notice that tornado until you played back the video because that was too dangerous. Doubt you will be lucky a 2nd time.

[1982Moonbird]

HAHAHA!!  That was awesome!! I used to work at that McDonalds about 2 years ago, and it was one of the crappiest jobs I've ever had!! I have moved from Alabama since then, but my sister still lives in Coaling, and she called me still cleaning out her drawers!! I was in the Adamsville tornado on March 1 2007, and lemmie tell ya, it was lot like that! Awesome footage man..I knew T-town made the big time when Cantore showed up rubbing his nipples for the Weather Channel!

[MattArchives]

Wow! You mean Tornado videos can be shot without a screaming Reed Timmer from Tornado videos dot net screaming his head off like a fool? I never thought it possible!

[RebelYank]

If not for the debris flying around you might have been able to get pretty close to the tornado due to how weak it was. They rated it as an EF-0 to weak EF-1.

[Jacechance1]

yeah i was in the motel 6

[SICPUEDE]

@Jacechance1 Duuude you are one sick man! i like that

[reddy12131171]

Lmfao the two guys talking at the end!!!!

[ILovestorms]

You could have been killed! One of those sparks could have hit you. Who in there right mind would be filming it, instead of taking cover and hunkered down? Having said that, excellent footage! But still, better safe than sorry.

[tumblebug921]

were you in the motel 6?

[jroof2666]

DDDDUUUUUUDDDDDEEEE!!! That was freaking AWESOME!! Stupid, but AWESOME!!! I wanna see one in person. Probably shit myself, but still.

[krazedgunner]

You were at the motel. I've been there before, I guess this vid was when it " jumped" over SAMs club

[Jacechance1]

@krazedgunner , nope it hadnt gotten to sams yest it was coming at me down Mcfarland before sams.

[PYR0DARK]

O_O

This is insane, I live not a mile from there, near Woods and Water, I twas just like a normal storm from where I was. If I hadn't been watching Live Stream video of it I wouldn't have even known it was there. I keep thinking If someone had had a camera up at the Woods and Water parking lot, they would have had the ultimate shot of it cutting through..

[iRacingWrecks]

wow dude...love that transformer explosion!

[ColonelAngus75]

You're breaking my Tuscaloosa heart!

[omgthisiscrazy1]

That was a big funnel

[EliteAmericans]

Great footage sir

[HowsaBowsaYowsa]

You have an infectious laugh. Cool video too.

[Jacechance1]

Man trust me I wish I hadn't either. I didn't know I had the funnel on screen. But the wind was so bad if I had stayed around the corner it may have blown me off the balcony. It was howling like crazy

[afrosheenqueen]

Man! I wish you hadn't turned the camera away.

[barger5555]

I was actually over at Bufords which is next door to mcdonalds and it lifted one of our vans up on 2 wheels it was wild!

[iCatchAllTheFish]

Holy Crap!! lol, u was stoney bologna thats why u was so calm. thats some nice footage.. thanx for being totaly crazy
