[sirenlover100]

Pause at 7:34 there might be another tornado!

[sirenlover100]

what's that beeping sound I keep hearing?

[fsjal117]

june 5 is my birthday.

[TheBigmaxx]

That looks like a tornado from the movie twister cause it moves fast :D

[SageGSD]

You guys are the only one's I've heard actually sound concerned when a tornado hits a town instead of just cheering excited to be capturing a tornado on film. Thank you for being decent human beings.

[dacoach1122]

Great Video. Great commentary! I am learning a lot about tornadoes by watching your videos

[zilla200644567]

cool Tornado

[crazylots]

This is the best footage cause you can see the tornado from the groung to the sky unobstructed. You guys did a good job and are my heroes i have followed many a video and this one is very good!!!

[hammy342]

This video was very well done! I lived in Morton 25 years ago so this was very exciting for me to watch! At first I didn't think I would want to watch almost 10 minutes of video but this was so good I wished it would have gone on longer.

3:24 was the sickest lightning sound ever. i love that shit lol

[AeroStorm911]

I love the dramatic touchdown beginning at 1:48 when you can see the tornado snake down like that. One of the most intimidating "oh shit" moments there is in chasing.

[stormmoss]

Good work guys! I got my first 3 tornadoes ever that night. Got mine from the supercell that caused the Streator/Dwight/St Anne Destruction. Playlist from the event is on my profile. If you or anyone else would like to see the footage, drop me a message.

[jeebuspraiser]

great video guys. i was in elmwood watching this thing rip through main street. best video i have seen yet

[Heyde1979]

wow what an amazing video alot of cloud to ground lightning strikes

[82Nikkis]

We just had an EF4 Tornado in my area of Toledo, Ohio. Milburry, Ohio looks like a war-zone, it's very sad. This is a great video. Hugs from Toledo, Ohio!!!

[LongHairRocker]

What would you say that is? F2? F3?

[Renfurrer]

Amazing Footage!

[The615LOVE]

Could the circumstances be any better? You got as classic a funnel as you can get, hauling ass and spinning like a violent top illuminated by intense cloud to ground lightning. Not to mention the perfect vantage point. Good stuff. Too bad it hit that town though, no one wants that. This tornado seemed to be well documented judging by the other videos I've seen.

[hfd37truck]

Great footage!

[alexhallvideo]

great job guys, stayed at an appropriate distance and didn't try to go into town. I was on the storm when it neared Kankakee. Lightning like mad! great work.

[mygingham]

holy WOW guys...great video of the twister...so exciting to see, yet so sad to know what she caused! I wish I could see just 1...and hopefully 1 in a corn field where no one gets hurt, or looses their lives, or towns get destroyed...am just saying...WOW!

[yieldmap]

Great footage, guys. Probably the best video on youtube of this storm. We were in the theater at the time, and I couldn't see the dark funnel, but the last part of the video shows exactly what I saw out the window...clear-ish skies with debris flying. Very cool.

[thewhitebrazilian]

holy crap that formed fast

[WalkerWiggins1]

Thumbs up for the motorcycle truck at 6:52 ?

[TommyRulezz123]

the lighten hit you?

[midwestchaser]

@TommyRulezz123

No Lightning did not hit us nor the car that was passing. There was operator error when trying to zoom in on the tornado while driving and stopping on the side of the road all at the same time.

[GhostPIJen]

Excellent footage! I was visiting PA last weekend and it was heading for us the morning of the 6th. I got out of there before though.

[IchigoRukia09]

I was in Dahinda IL which is not far from Elmwood heh.... I'm lucky o.o

[sharong58]

excellent footage!

[McccLY]

6:31-6:32 just like the lightning would hit the car XD.

[fourman04]

This has got to be one of the best tornado videos I have ever seen. The quality is great. Could you tell me what camera you used to film this or did you edit the quality during editing.. Great job guys..

[midwestchaser]

@fourman04 I use a Panasonic G250 3CCD Mini DV. Bought in 2006. We actually started when the storm developed west of Burlington IL. This is one of the best storms I have witnessed in a long time. As far as I know there were no injuries. I am posting the tornadoes that occurred after this tornado.

[Shaun1gza]

this is some incredible footage, WOW, I am amazed at the force of nature

[stormchaserHarz]

Amazing ! Violent Tornado ::

[CaptainSiberia]

All right! Genuine Chaser video! I like it!

[revizcaino]

[Torn80cj]

Great video and tornado, I just hope no one was killed or hurt by that tornado being that it took out some buildings and crossed the road.

[stanswx]

Great video guys! I was a bit further south watching it, crazy stuff.
