  • I can't believe someone would be stupid enough to stand outside with their children, watching this monster tornado. Idiots.

  • @LelandPresley88 Thanks for your concern, but I am an Amateur Radio Operator and trained in spotting storms. At no point in time my family and I were in harms way. I had tracked that storm out if Mississippi and found a safe spot away from it on a hill at Woods and Water. I am well aware of what storms like this can do and watched what this one did to Tuscaloosa. This was a great learning experience for my family to see what unfortunate power mothernature has and the loss of life it had dealt.

  • Thank's for all of your comments. Hope I never have to witness something like this again, but if I do the video camera will be roling. I normally would have not done this, but with the training I have had I put myself in a safe viewing point.

  • mickey100870: I'm from Joplin. Are tornado came trough my house was one of the few still standing. All around me an my family was houses torn from there foundation. Are house was maid out of brick so I guess that would explain a lot. My family was safe in the basement. I hope u guys were safe also. That event I think will never forget...... For the next 50 years.

  • For a long time I didn't want to see any videos about the tornado because my family and I were in its path. This video leaves me speechless. Around frame 34 is when it hit my area, (6th street, Glendale Gardens, Hillcrest). I know this for sure because of the water tower shown in the video. Prior to the tornado, I never knew the water tower was there because it was hidden by all the trees. Now, I see it daily out my back window. Even now, 10 months later, it still seems so surreal.

  • @LelandPresley88 great video

  • Best long coverage of the tornado out there. A little trick when you're in bad conditions. Use a pole, a car, or someones shoulder to steady the camera. I use a steadying plug in in Vegas to help if it gets too jittery. Overall, a nice job without the usual laughing and giddiness I hear in other vids when people are dying.

  • at 0:24 on the right side of the tornado.. That's what a significant tornado does to concrete structures.

  • @k4rbs Is that from Woods & Water?
