Exclusive close up video footage of a huge monster tornado doing major damage. This giant tornado was filmed near Aurora, Nebraska on 6/17/09. Extensive debris can be seen swireling around this huge monster tornado. Power lines on both sides of the road were sheared off at ground level by the tremendous winds from this violent twister blocking both lanes so I was forced to stop. At times, I was very close to this black tornado -- at one point I was less than 100 feet away as debris was swirling around my car. In this video, the roof of the Iam's pet food processing plant is being ripped off by this black, monster tornado. I'm filming this amazing tornado on Hwy 34 about 5 miles west of Aurora. I had passed Reed Timmer in the Dominator (owner of tornadovideos.net and cast member on Discovery Channels hit TV show "Storm Chasers") moments before the tornado passed over him on the highway -- this is when the tremendous winds from the twister blew out his driver side window causing cuts to him and Chris Chittick who was in the front passenger seat. Once I got directly behind this huge tornado as it was moving away from me, I noticed that two police cars were a 1/4 mile behind me blocking traffic as a safety precaution I presume. No one was injured by this wedge tornado. On average, about 1,000 tornadoes touchdown each year in the U.S.
Feel free to check out our "Tornado" playlist showing video film footage of all types of tornadoes like elephant trunks, multiple-vortices, stovepipes, sidewinders and huge monster wedge tornadoes. Tornadoes from Aurora,NE ; Yazoo City, MS ; Campo,CO and Oberlin,KS for example. There's also video footage of tornado damage where buildings are blown completely off their foundations; people being rescued from collapsed buildings like in Yazoo City, MS where there was a deadly EF-4 tornado; truckers telling their near death experience when they jumped out of their semi-truck on I-80 and hide under a
bridge overpass during a large, violent tornado which blew their 18-wheel truck completely off the interstate; scary , heartpounding scenes as huge wedge tornadoes are coming directly at us; sounds of large tree limbs hitting our car and antennas being blown off our roof. These videos show the raw, unedited footage of storm chasing during the most dangerous and life-threatening times. Tornadoes are rated by the damage they do based on the operational Enhanced Fujita scale (EF) ranging from EF0 to EF5. An EF0 tornado has winds b/w 65-85 mph; an EF1 tornado 86-110 mph; EF2 tornado 111-135 mph; EF3 tornado 136-165; EF4 tornado 166-200; an EF5 tornado has winds over 200 mph. Note, these winds speeds refer to a 3 second gust. As stated before, tornadoes are rated by the damage they do -- so even if you had a violent, 2 mile wide monster wedge tornado in a remote area that didn't hit anything thus doing no damage (not even crop damage) -- it would be rated an EF0 (even if the wind speeds were measured by the Doppler on Wheels -- DOW -- at 275 mph). In general, tornadoes form when you have instability (moisture) -- measured by the CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy). Once you have adequate moisture,
you look for a lifting mechanism like cold fronts or drylines that will lift or force this moisture high up into the atmosphere. Then you look for wind shear -- i.e changes in wind direction w/ height. Tornado Alley refers to the area in the U.S. b/w the Rocky & Appalachian Mountains. To me, tornado alley refers to these states: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, N. & S. Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, E Wyoming, E Colorado, W Minnesota. Dixie Alley refers to the lower MS Valley -- i.e Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and the upper Tennessee Valley -- i.e N Alabama & Georgia. Hoosier Alley refers to an area from S Michigan to S Indiana plus E Illinois to W Ohio.
