Live footage of the June 1st 2011 F3 tornado that tore apart downtown Springfield MA. Footage taken by myself while at work at Enterprise on the corner of East Columbus Ave and Broad St in downtown Springfield MA. Absolutely one of the most insane days of my life!

  • It's an EF-3, not an F3. The F (Fujita) system was taken out in 2007 in favor of the EF (Enhanced Fujita) system.

  • @elevatorsonly Thanks for the info! I was totally unaware!

  • You practically had the same type of positioning on the storm that I had when I filmed a tornado in Garr Corner Oklahoma. It passed by me just like in this video.

  • @Torn80cj I was just very lucky that the funnel didn't come toward us. We unfortunately didn't take this thing to be serious. I mean who would? It's not everyday we get a funnel through here, maybe a water spout or two off the ocean but not this. That's really what we figured it was but then we saw the aftermath.

  • Holy crap you guys were lucky! Awesome footage but scary as hell

  • @StarletDancer01 Thanks!
