The video starts with a time-lapse of the tornado as it approches Kirksville, MO. I then follow it into the north side of Kirksville where I find significant damage.

  • Great footage! I particularly appreciate the fact that you stopped your chase to check whether anyone was home in the damaged house.

  • It turns out one of the residents of that home was 9mo pregnant. She went into labor 45 minutes before the tornado hit. The entire family went to the hospital that is why no one was home. Talk about good timing.

  • I really like this video for two reasons. 1. It really depicts how dangerous and obscured rain wrapped tornados can be (dangerous not only as tornados usually are, but how it can be especially dangerous to chase them), and 2. There's the real human side of it, insofar that you checked to see if the residents of the home were ok. Bravo.

  • great angle on the strom. impressive video.

  • I saw Timmer in his Big Red Shoe! lol

  • Awesome video. Reminds me of a storm I chased in Kay county Oklahoma. I videod a tornado that would eventually get rainwrapped. So I drove south and happen to notice a house that might be in it's path. So I pulled in their driveway and monitored the tornado which kept on moving SE, had it started coming my way, I would have warned them in plenty of time if that tornado was coming their way. It was on this same day that you filmed this Missouri Tornado. Good checking since no EMS had arrived yet.

  • Great use of timelapse at beginning !

  • different view of the tornado - but where is the oher one

  • I was watching the TIV live stream as it passed just to there north. This is a nice video, thanks for sharing it.
