Video of a tornado Near Mapleton, IA on April 9, 2011. As seen on CNN, FOXNEWS, CBS, and across the U.S.

FOR LICENSING KDR Media: 678-404-2119
This was my first large tornado and being within the proximity of less than 1 mile. I was both caught up in amazement and shear terror. My reaction of losing my sense of direction naturally had assumed this tornado would straight for us. However, I fail to listen to directions and thus which is revealed to you my both happy and scared audio in this video. Enjoy.

  • how did mapleton turn out??

  • @bojibri

    tornado was Rated EF-3 at it's largest of 3/4 mile wide. The town had some significant damage on the southwest side, but damage none the less is bad. This nowhere compares to the devastation that took place in Alabama yesterday. God bless those people suffering down there.

  • Steven Hoag's video shows how CALM a professional is supposed to act when they are confronted with a tornado.

    What you see is how you chase a tornado. we don't let one threaten our lives 100yards away with debris becoming deadly projectiles flying at us. there is hardly any panic if any in this video. what Mr. Hoag did was completely stupid. The size of a tornado does not mean it's a weak tornado if it's smaller. the deception is insane and people fail to recognize the force behind nature. Seek shelter. leave it to the chasers.

  • @DAILEYericCaryUSA

    Hey when you want to start critiquing my video I suggest you start selling all of your footage to media stations across the USA. because apparently my footage was perfect for them. Dont be a jackoff and enjoy the video. for being in the north side of the hook and having a limited availability to tripod the cam I think it's pretty darn good for by hand. deal with it.
