I filmed this tornado from my apartment building as it passed by on April 27th. It missed me and my apartment by a quarter mile. This is my personal footage and property of Clark Hughes images. No duplications please. All Rights Reserved.

  • Dude you were like 402 meters away from the tornado that was too close

  • @Silverhedgehog1000 Way too close! I didn't realize how serious it was until it was right there by me

  • Haha second floor? I love those! This video would not be complete without those chimes so I appreciate it.

  • Will do! I shot this from University Village apartments off of 10th avenue. Just south of the Rosedale apartments that were completely destroyed.

  • Yea I have no idea who that guy is. He's an annoying neighbor though.

  • @IAmHurricaneStorm Maybe, but what if it had suddenly shifted and changed directions. As the uploader stated, that was way too close for comfort. All it can take is a split second for a tornado to shift directions and you could be right in the path, and may not realize it until it's too late. That's the exact reason spotters/chasers don't get *too* close to a tornado. Your life may be in extreme danger before you can realize or do anything about it.

  • Wow that thing was practically at your doorstep!

  • Reminds Me a LITTLE of Xenia Tornado April 3, 1974

  • I hope the guy that was cheering and celebrating, got sucked into the tornado

  • @satanxhhhx Good comment. I can see how such a sight could be almost mesmerizing, but I'm glad the spotter here kind of woke up in time and got inside even if the tornado did actually miss him. Even if it did there's always flying debris that could kill as well.

  • "I'll come over to your house after the storm!"

    Um dude, his house may not even be standing after the storm o.O

  • Its So DARK it Looks like VINTAGE Film  ... wow !!

  • Early Spring = Early Tornadoes ( according to the ground hog )

  • Isn't it "great" to hear a guy hooping and hollering when people are dying.

  • RFD at the end was too much.

  • haha "Get your asses inside" in the beginning nice footage r.i.p april 25th-27th outbreak victims
