This is a two minute clip showing the tornado formation and touchdown. Around 1:57, you can see the actual touchdown as well as debris being thrown violently. This was shot from the T-Mobile at 3rd and Central in Louisville.

  • this looks like it was taken & Central & Taylor, was it??

  • @TonyaandJohn No, it was taken at 3rd and central... right in front of the T-Mobile and Starbucks.

  • I was next door at the Starbucks at the time of this video.  I watched it from the parking lot. It was really pretty amazing. This is about 300 to 500 feet from the store front TOPS. After the video stops the tornado hooked around the back of Kroger and then behind Cardinal stadium. What you see flying is a roof from one of the horse barns I believe.

  • @06orange1300c I was the guy in the white shirt that told came in and told everybody that a tornado was forming about two minutes before it hit! Small world...

  • Oh, I remember this. hahaha

  • @marshpit11 it was there i promise. Many times specially lately we get ghost tornadoes they appear transparent from about the funnel cloud down. Tornadoes are colored by the debri they pick up. witch is not very much since this was just born and turned out to be a touch and go. it was only on the ground seconds.

  • .... I don't see anything

  • I live in louisville but wasnt there for tornado cuz i was in orlando

  • i have never seen a tornado cuz i live in mountains lol

  • I called the NWS and told them there was rotation in PRP several minutes before the warning came out. WAVE 3 TV also started getting funnel cloud reports from PRP around that same time. The NWS should have issued the warning sooner, or extended the previous warning that they let expire. The sirens didn't go off for this tornado until just after the tornado hit the Downs...It must have been just after you stopped filming

  • i'd be pissed if someone was telling me to get inside. i'm stayin out there to film it. that guy can shut up.

  • Omg i live in preston O_o
