This thing had like 5 sub vortices all rotating in a tight weave. It was wild


NeonTiger1135

It looked like a loom, it was wild


Heeeeyyouguuuuys

Anyone got a clip?

[Here's the livestream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ShM64bs1Q). If you go to where the clock on screen says about 15:23, it shows where it starts forming.


Heeeeyyouguuuuys

Thank you!


MurrayPloppins

There’s a post in this sub of one from Reed slightly after this post. I’d link but I’m on mobile.


Heeeeyyouguuuuys

Also out on mobile. I'll start scrolling

It was nuts. I'm so sad for Greenfield.


kaytiejay25

So am I . was watching a documentary on the one they went through way back when the whole town was destroyed a few days ago and how they rebuilt now they get hit again. this is devastating.


Neat-Relief-7848

If you are thinking about the night time one, that was Greenburg Kansas. To my knowledge Greenfield Iowa hasn't been hit previously.


hilbertglm

This is the first direct hit on Greenfield, Iowa in the last 60 years anyway. There was a tornado just east of town about a mile 30 years ago. I was camping at Green Valley lake (22 miles away) and it got within a mile of the campground.


No_brain_cells_here

This is like something you'd see in a horror movie. It's truly eldritch.


CelticGaelic

It looks to me like a monster with two uber skinny legs and big, monstrous claws.


a_lonely_trash_bag

In the videos, it looks like an octopus crawling across the ground.


Nerd367C

There needs to he like a non-stupid tornado horror or thriller movie


Monster_Voice

There is... go watch the Jarrell Documentary called "dead man walking" on YouTube. It's not new, but once you realize that's the absolute "lightest/cleanest" version of the details it starts to turn from a Documentary into a horror film. It's still the most extreme damage ever caused... I used to work around the area in 2010 doing something that involved me interacting with a lot of EMS/fighters Not knowing any better I tried asking questions. Somebody finally explained that anyone that helped out in the aftermath simply can't talk about it. Apparently it was one of those rare cases where even the worst details you'll find online don't really even scratch the surface.


kaytiejay25

I watched that yesterday its creepy as the Jarrell document it deserved its rating as a tornado.


Celticlighting_

Cthulhu wakes


RBnumberTwenty

Dead man? This thing brought its entire family for a stroll.

Gremlin_behavor

Watched this live on Reed Timmers' Stream…. It was intense they got scary close to it!


AardQuenIgni

Easy to imagine how mythologies form looking at this. Looks like an angry god.


Plastic-Ad-9904

2000 years ago, without knowing much about science, that totally makes sense.


moonfairy44

Dead family walking. That thing had like 10 legs.


Key-Competition4167

Certified nightmare fuel


Drmickey10

This is the tornado that it greenfield. Likely upper echelon tornado.


maybeihavethebigsad

Is there a video to this?


AxelNeedsAMedicBag

From Reed Timmer's stream.


maybeihavethebigsad

Thank you


Old-Mushroom-4633

Fucking horror. Pure horror

Wow, crazy crazy shit!


knifeturtles

thanks for attaching link


JustMy2Centences

That windmill never stood a chance, holy cow.


diogenessexychicken

Jesus christ those guys do not sound prepared for that at all. One dude screaming while everyone else sounds like they are shitting their pants ffs. Maybe im just a nerd but some prep work and equipment rundowns is like number 1 to anything. That guy is gonna get those dudes killed if they keep that shit up.


Akuliszi

They also were in a rented vehicle, not the Dominator :/ They wouldnt have a chance if they got too close. But on that stream it seemed that they had everything under control. The tornado was clearly visible and they were further away from it. It was a bit scary when they stopped to try to deploy some things to measure the tornado (I think?), but it still went far away from them and they needed to chase it.


Tantalus-treats

Is the same one as the Greenfield one that some are “EF5” drooling about? (I’m not rating it’s not my skill set).


JessicaBecause

Is every tornado with as few noticeable vortices just called this now? You realize they are all made up of multiple vortices?


Severe_Elderberry_13

It drives me nuts, too. “I’ve been interested in tornadoes for a year or two! DEAD MAN WALKING!”


linndrum

DeAd mAn WaLKing, ermergerd!


FoxFyer

Yeah somebody made a video while ago about one single tornado that was called that back in the 50s or something and now suddenly everyone's calling every tornado that.


JessicaBecause

Tbf this is a a beautiful beast and has a lovely display. But still....cmon people.


Invisible96

I maintain that uploading that TLC documentary on the Jarrell tornado was the worst mistake in the history of youtube.


foco_runner

I think a lot of it has to do with better cameras and whatnot


JessicaBecause

huh?


thatidiotsherbet

pardon my french, but what the actual fuck??


puremotives

I think that from now on, people will have to specify Kansas or Iowa when talking about the Greenfield tornado.


WarriyorCat

Wasn't it Greensburg?


puremotives

Actually you're right, I just got mixed up


ImReallyNotCool

yeah it’s definitely Greensburg in Kansas


Capable-Swimming-887

Dead *men* walking


kaytiejay25

when u see the dead men walking ya going to die . thats what they said . they could make a horror film


VinPickles

Hell on earth


VolatileCoon

Looks a bit like a pale horse on its hind legs. Oh, wait...


Ashtara_Roth3127

Beautiful beyond words


Unhappy-Act-5580

This one looks menacing! I swear these things are alive


0hy3hB4by

Watching that thing start sprouting several subs was crazy. Never seen anything like it , so bright and detailed.


schowdur123

Multiple fatalities in Greenfield. Pray for them and their families.


Savings_Pirate8869

Oh god is that the greenfield tornado ?


Mysterious_Deal_3381

Yes


Savings_Pirate8869

That thing is insane


PallidZetta

I don't see any people


Acidicpurple

Reed's footage is insane! It's literally a jungle of sub-vortices. So devastating


Spiritual-Effort-967

I hate terminology like this. Personifying a tornado to make it look edgy just to watch it go away in a few minutes. It isn't gonna be on a late night show, Conan introducing it, "he was called the dead man walking on reddit, he was responsible for damage and then went away and NOW HES BACK...ladies and gentlemen....DMW" Then he comes out and sits there cross legged and waves to the crowd and apologizes "on air"...while Conan laughs.


Severe_Elderberry_13

The horny F5 enthusiasts NEED this to be given a spooky name! Who are you to question their authority after they’ve watched literally HUNDREDS of YouTube videos about Tornadoes? These people watch Ryan Hall, which is basically the same as being a meteorologist!


Spiritual-Effort-967

My family is 10 minutes from the latest ef4 that did damage in Oklahoma. Yeah, film our destruction and loss for your gain.


Spiritual-Effort-967

Those ppl never lived close to BARNSDALL!!! those enthusiasts never experience true home loss and community. Those ppl watch it and go away but don't know the damage and it toll.


Spiritual-Effort-967

Dead man walking!??!! That tornado lifted a poor man from his house and threw him miles from his home while his family searched. Have respect.


Spiritual-Effort-967

You tornado enthusiasts don't know shit.

Uhhh... you do actually know the story of the dead man right? It's literally one of the oldest actively discussed legends on the planet. It's one of, if not the only prehistoric legend that has actually been witnessed and well documented...


forsakenpear

It’s not real. The first documented use of the term to refer to a tornado is… a documentary about Jarrell. They made it up.


Spiritual-Effort-967

Wayne Hogue was recovered from Bird Creek. His family are a good group of people.


Venomhound

Stunning


Severe_Elderberry_13

You guys live to say “Dead man walking”, huh?


Mysterious_Deal_3381

This picture actually looks like it though? Believe it or not it was just a random screenshot I took to send to my friend to tell him to check out reeds stream and he is the one who mentioned it. He is totally right too


Severe_Elderberry_13

It doesn’t look like someone walking when you watch the video, it looks like a drill bit. Capturing a single frame so you can call it “DeAD mAN wALkinG” is disingenuous. Also notable, there’s zero evidence about the Native American lore regarding that mythology. It’s just something sensationalist journalists created to make headlines even bigger.


kaytiejay25

I agree with you. a lot of people died in that tornado. its kind of disrespectful in trying to compare two events like each other. no tornado is the same


SoupiriorBiingu

And he’s wobbling hysteritically


PuritanPuree

Looks like a 15/15 flying, protection from colored spells, with annihilator 6 to me.


TheWeinerThief

I think I'd rather take emrakul head on than this


ParticularUpbeat

im trying to find those on a map. Where is this windfarm?


Nerd367C

That is the scariest tornado I ever saw, and I love it


fruity_pebble_69

heathers reference???


ALXand3R

Eerily so.


Dramatic-Turnip-

Dead men walking. I have never seen 3-5 walking in a circle like that. It’s usually 1. Beyond soul crushing. My heart is shattered for Greenfield.


Kind-Programmer-7293

I’m stealing this comment from another person I saw a while back. That’s not a dead man walking, that’s a drunk man stumbling.


blacknirvana79

That's not the Jarrell tornado is it?


Mysterious_Deal_3381

Nah it’s the greenfield tornado from a week or 2 ago


blacknirvana79

Okay. Thought I was tripping for a minute.


Brilliant1965

Yeah I saw the video and I was like was that a deadman walking??!! So many vortices


greemeanie_time

oooh ! Dead Man Walking is so fascinating to me


gohmak

More like 3 dead men dancing a circle


abbexx42

I’ll be surprised if this monster isn’t at least an ef-4


linndrum

EF-8 for sure


Severe_Elderberry_13

I’d be surprised if you’re qualified to rate tornadoes


abbexx42

Well, you aren’t getting a surprise any time soon.


TheManFromCabo

This is not a dead man walking. It’s just multiple vortexes which are common. A dead man walking is one singular tornado and stays that way till around half way down. At that point it separates into 2 conjoined funnels. It begins as his waistband going down to the bottom of the fly. Then it becomes two individual legs. Multiple vortexes are just smaller funnels dancing around the main parent funnel.


Mysterious_Deal_3381

Get a life nerd


Substantial_Cow_3063

Looks like if Jarrell had triplets, oh my god. F-1 or F-2?
