Amazing footage of a tornado going through an aspen forest.

A helicopter films a tornado moving through a mature aspen forest. The video shows trees being uprooted and flying in the air. The shot is quite amazing.

Why in God's name is there a helicopter flying around a tornado? Something wrong there.

I love this old video. Text book "vortex breakdown" structure. That's what gives it the cork screw form. Un-believable.... Love it. The "F-scale" can be read about and how they rate each number due to damage versus the base-line data that scientists have accepted over the years. Ted Fujita was a very intelligent man and great scientist / meterologist! If a mile wide tornado hits nothing, it has no rating. Telephone poles and barbed wire fences are F1-F2 damage at best. Just trying to help. :-D

Awesome view, it's not everyday that you get to see a tornado from above. Thanks for sharing.

"Quite amazing". Dude, you are the King of understatements. I mean, this thing is sucking up full size trees as though they were dandylions.
