  • OMG its right there....right behind us...three o'clock. Anyone else notice this guy cant tell time for shit? Behind us = SIX o'clock dooshbag.

  • Lol at the people in the KFC drivethrough. They must really like chicken

  • I've been to Joplin to help clean up and that Kfc and lowe's were destroyed it's just unimaginable.

  • Watching this video made my heart speed up a little. Holy shit.

  • OMG!!

  • Omg i can't see shhhhit!!

  • Did that Lowes get destroyed

  • OMG its right here

  • If you pause @ 0:54, you can CLEARLY see the tornado's outer edge near the center of the screen. The tornado is the brighter part of the screen due to it being rain-wrapped. This thing is so massive that you can't even see the other side of the tornado in this paused frame. It just go to show you how CLOSE they were to this tornado, and how terrifyingly MASSIVE and DESTRUCTIVE this thing was.

  • When I heard the guy screaming on the radio, "Just go! Get the hell outta here" My hair stood up on end. Knowing what happened to the town, he wasn`t wrong for freaking out like that

  • watch the language!

  • @SS3TrueKamehameha Why would he do that? He can say what he wants, this isn't a kids channel bro. It's the internet, deal with it. Everyone curses all the time, get used to it. Man, I'm never reading comments again.

  • @cloudu8 yeah, i know! cant you take a freakin joke!!!!

  • @SS3TrueKamehameha The guy is watching a whole bloody city being destroyed in front of his freaking eyes byan EF5 tornado, with him in it. I think the last damn thing on his mind is being PG...

    kthnxbai.

  • lmao.he is like,i fell seck right now,because hiz acent ;lol

  • I love it when people rip off others work, and claim it for their own. Pathetic. The closest these posters have been to nado is their bathtub draining.

  • Are you cops? cause' i heard a radio.

  • This awesome footage but it is NOT yours!

  • omg! omg! omg omg omg! change your name to the omgimaretard!

  • The lightning strike at about 55 to 60 seconds illuminates what appears to be the right edge of the tornado wrapped in rain, it's a lot closer than it appears, no doubt, that was one hek of a close call.

  • This is one of the few best footages of this Joplin, MO EF-5 tornado. CG lightning shot phenomenal.

  • was it right there? im a little sketchy on that

  • @ih8usernames22 it was. i live here, that's exactly where it was. as unbelievably chill as they are, i can vouch that this is legit. they were probably about 7 blocks away from it

  • Anyone else see Lowe's power go out at 0:42?

  • @Tehguy248

    Yep, more than once...

  • @Tehguy248 yep i saw it

  • I would have stopped at 0:28 to eat at the Rib Crib

  • I was here when the tornado hit it a truck stop and the girl that I was with in that truck stop was killed right next me me as my legs were crushed. it did not look like a tornado when it came in it just looked like a really bad rain system that had the potential to do some major flooding.

    great job on spotting it and thank you for posting it. may everyone that lost their life that day r.i.p.

  • I am glad you guys are doing okay.

  • I think I would be Digging a Basement with That CAR

  • I went up there after it hit and did a news story.Could not believe what I saw.Great video guys.

  • Profetic: "poor towns about to get destroyed"

    And the video tells why so many died: it did not look like a tornado, just a big rain area.

  • Tornadoes are very fascinating. We are in "awe" over something that is sooooo deadly. "I feel sick..." that's the feeling you get when somethings so awesome can kill...when there's nothing you can do.

  • A dragon came to Joplin that day.

    

  • Omg such a huge tornado omg. The only thing i saw was a black sky and some lightning great filming -_-

  • @Reborn1561 It's not like the tourists here were prepared to film an EF-5 tornado destroy a town. Be glad they even filmed this and had the courtesy to post it to YouTube, even if it's not the best video quality. Perhaps you'd like to see that tornado in person? I didn't think so.

  • @AscendantMayhem1028 What in the blue hell are you talking about. Where the fuck did you see an F5 tornado might i ask ?

  • @Reborn1561 Not just F5 (That's actually weaker than EF5), but it's easy to at least estimate where its positioning is on this video; as the tourists are passing by the Lowes, those dark, black clouds are pretty indicative to tornadic activities, or at least powerful severe thunderstorms. It's not clear *where* it is in the swirling black mass of clouds, but I can assure you it's not a good place to be. I wasn't there in person, so I don't know if this tornado was rain-wrapped or not.

  • @AscendantMayhem1028 Maybe it's the quality of the video. But i only see black clouds. If you look very hard you can see like a tornado figure hitting the ground. But it's very hard to see where the Tornado is. There will be one ells they wouldn't be screaming like that. But i don't really see it

  • @Reborn1561 its the brighter area to the left of the screen at 0:41.it was just so big that you couldn't tell what was what.

  • @Missmodified92 Oh yeah now i see it. I was a whole time looking in the black area if i saw a tornado in there.

  • @AscendantMayhem1028

    It WAS rainwrapped, however how large it was, it didnt matter. The debris, and soil gave an easily spotted sight. Ive seen a few tornadoes growing up in the midwest. Ive never seen a Tornado like this. It was hypnotizing to watch, the shear size of it made you almost lose control of bodily function. I cant describe it. Never mind the damage, which I see on a daily basis still.

  • omg, thats disturbing just to watch, that is the scariest storm i have ever seen, especially because its really dark and its hard to see the actual funnel, but the lightening as well just makes it so eerie, like a monster invasion or something!!

  • Gaaah we were playing Some football When this tornado hit but it was hidden behind a line of trees so we couldn't see it. But then the wind started to pick up and it was hailing so we got out of there and we didn't even realize there was a tornado till we got home.

  • I live a few miles away from Joplin!All the schools is my city donated a lot to them and I hope they are getting along ok now!!

  • was that guy taping dane cook???? sounded so?

  • WOW!!!!!!!!

  • People still wanted their KFC in the midst of a tornado approaching them. Talk about fast-food dedication!

  • Oh My god Where the hell did these clowns came out? man its dumb "Oh my god" pussies wherever i look but i guess whatever helps them sleep knowing they got their 15seconds impression, morons...

  • @panda28666 Panda bear learn some English before calling others morons

  • @panda28666 Have you ever seen a mile-wide F5 tornado obliterating the town where you live? People were dying as they filmed that, and they knew it. You don't think very much before you speak, do you?

  • @ndzapruder There is nothing wrong with filming an historic event, no matter how tragic. Was it wrong to film Sept.11? Hurricane Katrina? The Omaha Beach invasion? Hiroshima? Or is it only wrong your town?

    I was one of the first to arrive in Joplin and spent the first 24 hours transporting patients and helping with search and rescue btw. But I'm also a storm-chaser and have had my videos featured on The Today Show and TWC. I'm sorry for the tragedy, but people have a right to film it

  • were there really people still waiting in line for fast food!?!?

  • @sunstarsmoon Probably cuz the power barely went out.

  • @sunstarsmoon they just payed 5.99 for their fucking value meal, damn strait they are.

  • Silver lining tours, right?

  • to the jerk off who called me "dumbass" and told me to shut up

    FUCK YOU

  • HAHAHAHA There were STILL fat mofos in the drive-thru line at that fast food joint with a F-5?, F SUPER FREAKING MASSIVE tornado RIGHT behind them... Yeah..." would u like fries with that?" "sure" *cashier closes window* *entire joint gets swept away and customer looks into what used to be the drive thru window" WIN! mother nature-1 humans-BIG FAT ZERO

  • "This whole town is about to be destroyed."

    He probably didn't even realize the extent of that at the time. Chilling.

  • oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god jesus jesus jesus jesus.PUSSIES

  • Comment removed

  • @forestgreen98 So by the way you talk, you've experienced TONS of F5 tornadoes, right? Nah. You'd probably scream like a little girl if you were in that, as should anyone.

  • @vampirekitty01 wrong you fat vampire cunt. I had one drop right in front of me. The people in the car behind me were KILLED. So go suck some blood out of someones asshole you stupid bitch

  • @forestgreen98 someone sounds butthurt, got called out on your lie?

  • @forestgreen98 I'm glad you resorted to calling me names. Because it was totally necessary. haha I pity you for having such an anger problem. Life's short, at least attempt to enjoy it.

  • Mother nature is the ultimate terrorist

  • You guys sound like a bunch of children. Grow up! Take it like a man, you sissy punks! You show off your stupidity with every other word a cuss word. You won't go far in life with such brain-dead behavior.

  • When it was at 3 oclock it was destroying my house at 20th and Alabama. I was hiding in the closet of my bedroom. The roof took off and then the walls of the bedroom went and the wind was so strong that it was turning the knob of the closet door and I had to hold the doorknob to keep it from opening.

  • @jopdude64804 thanks for sharing your experience

  • @jopdude64804 dude, the storm didn't touch down til 5:30...

  • wow. the commentary is chilling

    

  • gays boys and jesus

  • Seriously this video is going to turn into an argument about people saying Oh my God?? STFU!!!

  • Yeah You guys ran away an didn't help a god damn soul did you

  • @Tankkaray75 You're an idiot. How do you know whether or not they went back? And besides, what makes you think they would head towards that monster to try to help people? Instead of helping others, they'd probably get themselves killed.

  • BUT.. Not really. Where Im from, you say the wrong thing, and youre dead. Dont know how many times someone gave someone else the bird and they got shot over here. So, I dont believe i "Freedom" because theres always that one exception.. FREEDOM OF: Speech - Underage people cannot curse

    the People - How many laws can you name in CA restricting our rights?

  • Sorry about the double-post. But anyway, I recommend turning the volume OFF

  • but its still badd

    i feel bad for tha pplzz that got hit

  • waittt never mind it in missuri...i clicked on tha wrong thang

  • omg that waz in alabama....im so glad i moved

  • first building in the video is a "bank" that houses federal cop field offices.

  • holy fuck...now were talking

  • LESNAR COMES THROUGH WITH the F-5! ..... too soon? LOL

  • Comment removed

  • Who said anything about God not being real? "my lands!!!" Really?

  • Thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Joplin.

  • are you from the uk?

  • OH MY FUCK!

  • Rate or comment, no need for childish arguing:-D

  • It's humorous that bornagainjessie calls the person speaking n the video "stupid idiot" and then comments on others blessing him/her by slandering! Hah, never cease to amaze

  • @Starlightpoint ok so i made a mistake by calling the storm chaser ''a stupid idiot'' when he took god's name in vain. And i will repent of that. Im NOT perfect. yet, i dont habitually pratice sin either. But just because i make mistakes sometimes does not mean God aint real. i should have quoted the third commandment instead of going beserk on the stormchaser.

  • @bornagainjessie. I agree with what you're saying, because he threw JC out their quite a bit. I understand it's the heat of the moment, but dude, watch what you say... Say something like "Oh my gosh!" instead of JFC. Stormchase guy... Don't stormchase if all your gonna do is fill my head with this junk..

  • @KIDRACER99 Well the last time I checked we lived in the U.S.A. with the freedom of speech. Just as you have the right to post your comment as a Martyer. He has the right to post a video in which when you are witnessing the devestation of a town and thousands of lives. Being PC on tape is your last thought. Leave the judgment up to the big guy himself.

  • oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there, oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there, oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there, oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there, oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there, oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there, oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there, oh may God, you're not there, oh my God, you're not there...

  • its so dark i cant see it

  • Hey bornagainjessiedickhead can you get on with it soon and stop shouting man and chill.

  • @Rollsie6666 The more you keep calling me: "dickhead" the more blessed i am! The Bible says "blessed is he who is mocked" and also: "Woe unto you that have men speak well of you". It is not suprising that many youtube pepole like you who hate me and slander me because God's word said ''THE WORLD (The ungodly world) HATED JESUS FIRST." If you really hate me then why do you cause blessings on my life by slandering me? You just causing more blessings on me due to you calling me a ''Dickhead''!

  • @bornagainjessie

    You don't know anything. Your beliefs are your beliefs, I respect that, but stop pushing them on others. You can believe that you're going to heaven, I don't mind that at all, but you don't even know if such things even exist. You don't know if there's an spiritual entity named "God". It's all speculation because YOU need that in your life. I, and numerous others, don't have to fill that emptiness. So please, just keep your God talk to yourself; you're not enlightening.

  • @k1skaaa stop trying to push your views on others.

  • @EliteAmericans

    In no way was I pushing my views on anyone. I didn't say it was WRONG to believe. I didn't say that people are idiots for believing, I just said I personally don't. Idiot.

  • guys i went past that same lowe's just a few days ago, unreal damage im telling you

  • Tornado is killing people and some dumb ol storm chaser blasphemes god's name in vain DURING THE WHOLE THING! (SIGH)

  • YOU STUPID IDIOT, QUIT TAKING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN! SHUT IT WITH YOUR GOD'S NAME IN VAIN CRAP! ILL BE GLAD WHEN I PASS AWAY SOMEDAY TO GET AWAY FROM GOD-HATING PEOPLE LIKE THE LOW-LIFE WHO SAID: 'OMG' AT 0:03!

  • @bornagainjessie

    Okay, you need to take your religious obsession elsewhere. God damn. If the "Lord" is so understanding, why does it matter that, in a time of panic, someone yells "OH MY GOD"? You're ignorant. Keep yourself at church and stay off of these videos of nature, you're clearly not able to comprehend the context. I, honestly, hate reading anything you say because it's almost on the same level as the Muslim's religious fanaticism.

  • @k1skaaa If i was on the same level as the Muslims i would have wanted to brutally kill that guy for taking god's name in vain. BUT I AM NOT THAT WAY! Murder will not solve anything and plus God equates Murder with Taking his name in vain. Also Vengance is God's not mine. I dont wish no harm on anyone who takes God's name in vain including slanderous people like you. I wish they repent to save themselves from Eternal Shame because it is terrible in Hell. AND NO HELL HAS NO LITERAL FLAMES!

  • @bornagainjessie You sound irrational.

  • you need the twister theme in this vid.

  • Glad you made it out of there....

  • Hey Travis It's Dylan! I was browsing through videos on here and came across this one. This was one of the craziest experiences I've ever had, no doubt. It was great chasing with you and I hope someday we'll be on the same tour again!

  • Fascinating video.  I'm intrigued that you guys came to the US to track storms. That's dedication!

  • yeah i was at 17th and connecticut,, right in the middle of this bitch,, but i survived, how i don't know,, you guys are lucky

  • @kgracielu2005 i was at 20th and connecticut somerset apartments. 2nd story apartment in the bath tub which was about the only thing left. Looking at all the my pictures makes me think how lucky i am to only get beat ALMOST to death by debri

  • Who's the Aussie in the video? I'm An Aussie living in TN and these things freak me out too!

  • you all sound terrified, it is amazing you were not right in it. I'm from Ohio, we had an F5 when I was 12 in the city next to mine, I have always wondered what it was like. I feel so bad for the people who lost their lives, it is terrifying it hit so hard and so fast, how would anyone know it would be that bad all at once. It just looks like an intense thunderstorm - one where a person might not realize it was on top of them right when the tornado hit - shock can cause naseau. gladu made it
