This is video of the Shawnee, Oklahoma tornado crossing Interstate 40 near exit 176 on May 24, 2011. This beautiful tornado hit a semi truck as it crossed the interstate and blew the debris from it into the air. The driver of the semi was ok and only received minor injuries.

This tornado was one of many tornadoes during the Oklahoma Tornado Outbreak 2011 on 5/24/2011.

  • Where are these guys from, Los Angeles? You can tell by the accent they are not from Oklahoma.

  • @csrivalry I live in Norman, Oklahoma. Sorry if I don't have an okie accent.

  • why the fuck does the ahole describe it as "beautiful"? Get a fucking vocabulary! Awesome", monstrous, menacing, ominous, terrifying, sinister is the way to describe something like a tornado which destroys property and lives.

  • @johnanway I'll let you know when I'm hiring someone to write titles and descriptions for my videos. Sorry the current ones do not live up to your high standards.

  • Beautiful? I forgive you for your description because clearly you were amazed but really, beautiful? This is just one of about 100 of nature's ways to kill people and destroy property..... Either way, thank you for sharing this video of a natural phenomenon that is anything but beautiful but instead is... If I see a horrible thing I don't call it beautiful out of respect of how it harms people. Like a Hydrogen bomb explosion - it can look like something I have never seen - but not beautiful.

  • @Jbrocks3894 ive never been in one neither and i dont want to see one

  • @johnanway well... to be honest, some people, including myself do think tornadoes look beautiful.. it's terrible when they destroy someone's property but I, like many others, are fascinated by tornadoes.

  • @johnanway Looks beautiful to me. Yes, it is also monstrous, ominous, terrifying, and sinister... but it is also a thing of amazing beauty.

  • HE IS DRIVING STRAIGHT TO IT WHAT THE FUCCK

  • Halfway in, it looks just like the Mulvane, KS tornado. Too bad this thing was so short lived.

  • Wow

  • that's a tornado on  a diet :)

  • did that hit the loves truckstop?

  • I have never seen a tornado EVER in my life! I kinda want to but i kinda don't!See people like me want to see one,But when your in the situation you freak out!
