Tornado Over Virginia

[avenger007007]

taking cover is kind of a catch 22 thing. Yes you survived, but now you have a building on top of you.

[hamlinfanVA]

Wow at 5:30 that lady screamed when she saw the powerflashes

[luvsilly60]

Virginia we don't see too many of these.

The one I saw I did not recognize it.

My friend who had lived in Kansas saw it.

I was clueless

[LolitaxMusume]

Wow...so much for staying away from the window (-_-) your job needs a tornado drill because you all really desperately need to learn a thing or two...more than that.

[GOTTshua]

I loved that storm! Road my motorcycle through it. Talk about adrenalin rush... I AD to route 7.

[adamjeffreysmith]

Love it. I would prob stand there til end even if it slammed into the video. mesmerizing

[Hontaish]

Am I the only one who snickered at: "Oh my God... It's huge!"

lol

[andtheyreoff217]

We don't get tornadoes too often in VA,they're kind of a phenomenon,I'd be fascinated if I saw one too

[MIKESOWELL]

@andtheyreoff217 And the ones that we do get are usually either very weak or rain wrapped....

[Aviationist11]

Is that a tornado or funnel, i only see a funnel

[Krowsnose]

@ people saying "why arent these idiots rushing for cover?"

they're in a building in what looks like a downtown area. most of those buildings are big and have very strong foundations. It takes a big fucking f5 to deform that kind of building.

[Chubzdoomer]

"Ehehehehe, it's coming right at us! Ehehehehe, we're all gunna die! Ehehehehe, great times, everyone. Great times!"

[GoalHornDude]

You guys are fucking idiots. TAKE COVER YOU DUMBFUCKS!

[Paramore6181]

@GoalHornDude Lol

[20340rayallen]

[pntbllwiz21]

[belltechs]

@pntbllwiz21 Oh no not Optimus Prime and Bumblebee

[Ellie1love4israel]

[Timmeh98837]

[MiMiMary]

YOU IDIOTS. you are not suppose to be looking out the windows GO FOR COVER!! Who is the Supervisor there? Needs ro be fired! No Safety guidance there! Is this a government building? College educated I take it?! STUPID!!!

[TubeYourProductions]

Chill. Nobody was killed in this storm at that happens to be more than 10 miles away.

[JasmineRodriguez9]

Hmm wow you guys sitting there laughing lookign out the WIndow.You wouldn't be laughing it was 5 inches away for you.Or if Debris came flying int he Window and killed you all.Seriously i would have been in thr basement without takign a breath

[05ymarie]

u know wats amazing? bein in the basement while white people r star struck by danger.

[m0t0cr0ss17]

looks awesome.... its not idiots its people that want thrill

[bigwilly711]

Pull my card. But I think there is no one of ethnicity in that building. Sorry but only white people sit and wait for the  disaster to come.

[bigwilly711]

Did anyone notice that there was no black voice saying" we gotta get the fuck outta here"

[imamoviefanatic]

what a load of idiots

[hshgueyefer]

if it's moving towards them.are they suppose to take cover or just talk and do nothing about it

[xIxGLOWx]

I would have been soooo far into the basement at that point lol

[mileyandashley9788]

if there is a tornado how come you aren't taking cover??

[kellenslilman]

@mileyandashley9788 For the thrill of it! 

[Vote4the1]

Some people get close enough that they have to look up.

----That is not that close----

[garras1fan1997]

yea when i went to vigina as my luck would have it there was a big storm scard the crap out of me and i was in a hotel omg the thunder was SO loud there was a funnel cloud sighting but no tornadow luckaly so aaaaah

[Typingrl]

A powerline?!?!

Hehe

[TVWXMAN32]

This is why people get killed from weather like this. These people were prob drinking or out of touch of the danger presented.

[pinkfox253]

stupid bitch at 5:00 OMG..it's amazing..no bitch it would be amazing if you were in it..shit what would be great

[skateandplaywow]

tru dat

[garras1fan1997]

[Cinnamaru]

LOL!

[Helsoukie87]

5:15 listen to that dumb bitches voice..."OMG!"

[bboynaki]

haha lol yea stupid bitch

[bsmack66]

This is a good video. Where was it shot? From the AOL headquarters in Sterling, perhaps? What amazed was mother nature's power against Virginia Electric's power. Those exploding transformers is what awed me. That is the main reason I look at these tornado vids.

[Heuvelsland]

You Americans are really weird people. Laughing when a tornado is coming up ! but the video is amazing.

[VDubShawnC]

Of course its not funny but tornadoes rarely touch down in VA. I myself would probably be having a "Good Time" with family and friends as well. At least they had sense enough to get away from the windows.

[justkiddin08]

I dont think thats a laughing matter people were probly dying or being seriously hurt.I been in a tornado before its not to funny when your in it or watching some1 elts go thru it.

[anabelen11]

my aunt was there and i think she is in the hospital

[djbuzzell]

President Bush isn't going to give any money. It's up to us...Give money to friends and family living there to make sure the money stays in that area where they live.

D. Buzzell/Alaska

[jwjdk]

not funy

[Lachance8]

Just letting you know that we in Arizona are praying for your people in Virginia who were hurt and the families of those who may have been killed. God Bless you guys. Its good to show this film as it makes people aware of the damage tornados cause and that they need to heed the warnigns.

[aznboypinoy]

dude that wus awsome haha.

there wus 3 tornados like yesterday in suffolk.

but dats crazy how it just went over yer work haha

[kev5981]

that was fucking sweet

[MistofSolaris]

It actually was not very close and really was pretty weak at its closest point to the building. It is the last couple mintues of it where it is really destroying stuff

[stormspinner1]

Too close - y'all have basements there, why didn't y'all take shelter?? YIPE.

*StormSpinner*

[bryceflorek]

wow i wish i worked where you do. you and your co-workers get paid to do a whole lot of nothing. i bet your boss was pleased.

[charon128]

If my boss tried to make me work while there was a tornado coming straight for me I'd tell him to go fuck himself

[whynotflip]

im sure a TORNADO trumps work. duh.

[sprinklefriend]

tornadoes are cool until they come to your house. when i was in college in ohio i used to be SO excited when we had a watch cuz i wanted to see a tornado... but when we get warnings here - not too far from ashburn - i freak out.

[vinnykster]

I hear ya man .. Part of me that never saw one in person wants to . .but the other side of me more importantly doesnt want it to destroy peoples houses or lives .. including my own.. They are facinating. I thought I was gonna see one last Sunday driving up 95 when we got a warning on the radio..

[wshredskins11]

lmao i think i live right near there.

is it in ashburn or sterling or sumthin like that?

[lilyonrocks]

Those people are laughing, but when they are outside in their house. We'll see who laugh's now.

[GoneIsGone]

I grew up in a house on Church Road, and worked for years at a facility just off of Steeple Chase. Gosh, it seems that when I moved to Wisconsin, I missed out on all the fun. Very Cool Video.

[Hickthu06]

So deadly, but yet so fascinating!

[dropbackadam]

im glad i live in richmond, were the last tornado wasnt in a couple 50 60 years? i think i dont know

[usgitmo38]

the last tornado was the f4/f5 tornado that hit petersburg,va august 6,1993. the tornado that ripped through the walmart

[JagaBun]

Actually, 1 tornado was reported in Chesterfield last year and 2 in New Kent the year before that. Though, not in the richmond district, we have numorous wallclouds every summer here in the Chesapeak. We had a funnle cloud in Mathews, last June, but no touch down. V.A. seems to not have many nor strong tornados - but the one in the video is the strongest I've seen!!

[ixisuprflyixi]

cool, great video.

[x3killacam3]

wow this is in ashburn/sterling. i remember this.

[JaxieBoy]

I swear, these people are just f***ing nuts!

I would've either been in a basement, or outta there.......

[yenitt]

increible

[m1ssatt1tude]

That's odd to see tornadoes here. (I live in Virginia) After looking over the comments I see this was shot in the part of VA I'm from and still have family who reside there. Hmm, it makes me wonder if any of them saw it.

[wertyou567]

damn, that was the one i was in

[dfm40000]

Why aren't they working? Just because there's a tornado outside doesn't mean you stop production.

Your all fired!!!

lol

[snowstorm1922]

I'm so glad I finally saw this video. Heard about it. This was from the leftovers of Hurricane Ivan in Sept 2004. Sterling, VA - it was an F2 intensity at one point south of Dulles Airport in Chantilly.

[xman4un]

funny to hear these corporate or white-collar workers speak the everyday vernacular in light of the storm!

[hbsherwood]

For everybody asking, this was taken in suburban Washington, near Dulles Airport, near the junction of Route 28 and Waxpool Road.

[pyroman10]

@hbsherwood I remember this actually i was 12 and i was home sick. I live in Leesburg Virginia and it was a really bad storm for northern Virginia. I think it was April 28th but i have no idea. Nice video though

[prutyladyd07]

@hbsherwood... That area has a name, it's Ashburn, VA. The buildings in this video are near the AOL complex along Waxpool Rd. Across the street was a large shopping center (Wegman's, Target, DSW, et al) and three car dealers (Nissan, BMW, CarMax). I witnessed this tornado in person. I was in my car on Waxpool Rd. The crazy thing that you can't see on this video is across the street it was sunny. This tornado came over a building crossed Waxpool Rd and went through the shopping center.

[VASINGER]

Wow, where is this in Virginia? Im in Richmond and I never seen them around these parts.

[ohawarrior02]

What Part Of Virginia Is this in????

[majafan5]

i have a crush who lives in virginia we met at the plilippines on a wowowee(t.v.)tour.(hes very very very very hot!!!!!)

[nya4real]

@majafan5 Yeah... us Virginians tend to have that effect on people.... lol

[SenorSpode]

"Big Toddlers Under Glass"...which is all that management personnel are. Big mouths, big diapers and all they do is waddle around all day in their nurseries/offices while the big people in the factories get the real work done. "ALL management goes first"...and all will be good in the world.

[sleepyhollow1515]

lol everyone's reactions are great!

[rtb1980]

"Senior Managment will go first" LOL isn't that typical.. ha.

That is a good tornado video. You should upload it to a new site called GaiaGoneWild dot com They are building up a huge collection of videos just like this one:)

Cheers!

[pokemon1571]

nice video , at 2:40 nice woooooo/

[Syn619]

LMAO omg, this video made me laugh...it was so funny! I don't blame you really for taking the footage, I'd be amazed too. It's so rare to get any tornadoes at all in Virginia. Where in Virginia was this at? Anyway, very cool video! :)

[tall32guy]

God don't everyone be quiet at once! LOL Sheesh! And if I may ask, was everyone on break all at once or something to where you guys could stand there and watch a tornado? lol

[yyyyeeeeaaaahhhh]

what r u doing standing there?

[JetBlack921]

If this passed over your place of employment, your employer is at a VERY big liability to have all you guys on a high floor in your building with a storm in that close of a proximity. And you are all being incredibly un-safe staying near the windows like that. You should read up on saftey measures you should take during a situation like this.

[cleftronix]

If you backed the camara up a few feet, the raindrops wouldn't be noticible. oh well...

[SacrydDreamz]

Where in Virginia is this?

[wxnut]

nice!

[guygal12345]

SWWWEEEEET MAN!!!!

[HKH73]

its fake

[littlexecstatic]

yes dumbass they managed to recreate a fucking tornado.

stupid.

[vincent0ne]

awesome tornado, shame on window being rainsoaked. Still a gr8 vid

[mwon5]

wtf i thought it would've passed over the building they were in, according to the description

[sentq]

i think this was shot from one of the office complexes along route 28 near dulles airport, about a year and a half ago three tornados went up 28, a friend of mine worked down the road in the shopping center and he saw them form when he was on break

[veryspecialcase]

wow you guys are losers OBVIOUSLY ITS A TORNADO fuckers.

[DaftLogic]

god one of those girls needs to shut up OOOMG LEIK OMG THERE WAS SPARKLES N LIEK OMG... LEIK O.M.G....U LIKE TOTALLY MISSED IT.. -.-'' those people first to get picked up.

[swmdal]

Nice tour of your office. <g> You all were entirely too excited about the fact that it looked like it was going to take out the guys in Marketing.

When and where was this? Dulles area?

[naderchaser]

Too bad we had to view that thru a rain-soaked window. That would have been pretty good video.

[Frazzzld]

I like the guy who said "thank god I didn't park my car on the roof today" and then someone else said "but I did"! I hope his car was still there. :) Sounds like a fun bunch of people to work with! lol

[coreyandj]

"it's sparkling and everything", LMAO

[jeffero80]

now that was some freaky shit!you're co-workers were very lucky

[Luka2095]

Hey that's pretty interesting..
