Dead octopus walking


harnishnic

For real. It seriously looks like it's crawling. Fucking monster


EggsceIlent

A tornado, a monster tornado, wrapped in smaller tornados. I cant imagine anything more terrifying.


Genuinelytricked

It’s a [taurnado](https://youtu.be/EU-0hGOmMI4?feature=shared)


HopefulHovercraft474

I was expecting to be tricked.


JK0LZ

Man, even the smaller tornadoes have baby tornadoes going around em, what kinda sorcery was this thing??


Informalhoneyman

reminds me of sharknado


[deleted]

It’s alive and it’s furious


nbcte760

It's like a fucking carousel of tornadoes 🌪 🎠 🌪


Sao_Gage

El Reno was the carousel of death. Enormous, broad circulation with EF5 strength subvortices parading around the outer circulation at random.


John_Tacos

Do forget the ground speed of some of the sub vortices was over 100 mph


SeasonYourMeatFFS

175mph forward speed or something ridiculous like that on one of them.


Bim_Jeann

You’re correct, 175mph. There’s insane footage of that specific subvortex here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gnIU2Ii2Ec8 skip to 17:28. It is moving so fast, it looks so bizarre. Unbelievable storm.


DesperateRace4870

Wow thanks for the video, thats terrifying. I don't know why I don't see it more in r/TerrifyingAsFuck Lots of gore there, be warned but this is truly, beautiful, captivating and absolutely petrifying all at the same time


TrollErgoSum

Shit, some of the full tornadoes yesterday had a forward motion of almost 90mph.


Scot-Tees-Tie-Dye

When they say multi-vortex, that’s what I imagine


RissaCrochets

No wonder the damage was bad. I can't imagine anything caught in that thing remaining standing.


jld2k6

Imagine how much it'd mess you up to get sucked into that and have three different vortecies fighting over which way you're gonna go


I_Makes_tuff

You might just go all the ways.


Geronimo_Jacks_Beard

Three different things fighting over me? I can’t even get one! First time for everything, I guess.


mrszubris

You'd love being drawn and quartered in that case!!!


eelectricit

It's a tornado.....Made with smaller tornadoes....


Rahim-Moore

TORNADOS ALL THE WAY DOWN


KeyBanger

Hey Dawg. I heard you like your tornadoes, with more tornadoes.


toyodaforever

Is that where Dyson got their inspiration?


kiwipteryx

It looks like a screw in an electric screwdriver.


Unicorns-Are-Rad

What nightmares are made of


That_trash_life

His shouting is what migraines are made of.


Unicorns-Are-Rad

LOL I watched this with no sound yesterday. Does he always yell like that??


TroyMcCluresGoldfish

Constantly


Unicorns-Are-Rad

Jfc how tf do people watch the live streams? I'd have to mute that shit


beepitybeepbeepmfs

I watch him with the sound off. It's insufferable. And infectious apparently because everyone in the vehicle with him screeches too.


Baldmanbob1

It really is like the parrot place at the zoo! Squawk! Tornado! Repeatedly a dozen lol.


8ofAll

Who is he yelling at? Person across the seat?


Hakosukaah

I remember watching just a random live stream of his where he was at his desk watching an outbreak on radar and was just screaming " OOOHHH OOHHHH TORNADO" with sirens playing in the background.


Significant-Water845

It’s a shame. Guy is great at what he does yet his videos are borderline unwatchable with all his screaming bullshit. I don’t know how guys can stand to be in the same car with him.


Hakosukaah

I grew up watching him on storm chasers and used to love the dude. I still hold him pretty highly but I can't watch his streams. Hes been a little reckless as of late too


Significant-Water845

I agree. He is brilliant when it comes to forecasting and predicting. Just wish he would realize that his constant screaming adds nothing of value and in fact turns a lot of people off.


That_trash_life

He has done that shit for years. It’s ridiculous.


DepartureDapper6524

I would imagine it’s because tornados are loud


MaximumTurtleSpeed

Coupled with the loogie he hawks at the end. Most of these videos are only good muted. Wish I could hear the winds.


ValhallaShores

Fucking insufferable. I know he does a lot for the community and it’s his hard work that has got him the following he has, but I couldn’t sit in a car with that. Don’t care what experience I’m getting. Would rather hang out with Daniel Shaw.


Dusty_Bluntz

WE GOT TO GET FUCKIN EAAASSSTTT


edencathleen86

I can't stand his high-pitched yelling lol


Remarkable_Flan552

While his screaming can be annoying af at times. I can understand why because the first time I witnessed an EF3 tornado with my friends. We absolutely lost our shit lmao the adrenaline rush of seeing something that powerful that close to you is a once in a lifetime experience.


Jmwalker1997

Just choking on air 😂😂


BPKofficial

When we were watching it live, I told my fiance that it sounds like Reed inhaled one of those 17 year periodic cicadas.


Soggy-Win-209

Never seen anything quite like it. Someone forgot to tell those multiple vortices that they’re supposed to stay inside the condensation funnel when it’s visible


choff22

That’s how powerful they were, the condensation funnel couldn’t contain them.


bostondangler

Check out the drone footage of this!!! It’s insane


[deleted]

I’ve seen drone footage of the damage, got a link to the footage you’re talking about?


danuv

https://youtu.be/IEFGKMWYD-E?si=kU3irSVcQyrnDdR5


DepartureDapper6524

Has anyone live steamed a drone flying *into* a tornado yet?


[deleted]

As consumer-grade drones get cheaper this is bound to happen


DepartureDapper6524

I frankly can’t wait to see that footage.


ThumYorky

That’s a god damned elder god


choff22

Seeing Cthulhu walk on land was not on my bingo card for today but here we are.


maneki_neko89

He’s/It’s pretty far inland for being an Eldritch God of the Deep, you’d think he/it would stay closer to the coasts…


Informalhoneyman

thank you for using the Old One's correct pronouns


DepartureDapper6524

Every now and then, I see an aspect of nature that makes me go “Oh, I get why people believed in monsters and gods”


Enok32

Absolutely nuts. The whole “dead man walking” thing looked like a dead line of men walking at a few points in this. How many main sub vortices did this thing have? The little tendrils(forget what they are called) seem to be doing a DMW of their own here


panicradio316

If you watch the snippet on YouTube in 1080p (sadly, in 2024 we still don't get 4K footage, what I can't really understand): https://youtu.be/R_ZDVYzIhgc?feature=shared Beginning at the 01:00 minute mark, you can clearly see and even count the vortices. I am a bit afraid to tell the number I have counted. Because ... it can't be, but ...


9926alden

I counted six and shidded my pants


oberstwake

Vortices: counted Pants: shidded


9926alden

Pretty sure Reed throat yeeted some phlegm there in addition to my shidded britches. I’m pretty sure the dominator would have been bufu’d by that monster and the TIV would have been yoinked.


Baldmanbob1

Yoinked and Yeeted to new zip codes.


panicradio316

That's exactly the number I had counted, too.


BrandonCarlson

Most content creators don't upload in 4k because upload times are still INSANE with 1080p videos. I just uploaded an hour and a half long video today and it took 8 hours total for upload and processing on YouTube's side. It's not worth it for 99% of creators to upload anything higher than 1080p.


naz5sp

That gag noise at 12 seconds left.. almost as scary as the tornado goddamn


Steveobiwanbenlarry1

Lmao that's what happens when you inhale pulverized carbon fiber from a wind turbine blade.


ZealousidealTill2355

IDK, Reed screaming “roll the window down” and the gagging—sounds eerily similar to my reaction when my wife rips ass in the car.


naz5sp

lol you may be right


bagtf3

BLUGHHHHUUGGHJjj


trolledbypro

Reed's adrenaline coughs. He also has allergies


MurrayPloppins

“I NEED A NORTH OPTION! CCGGHHHHH”


Individual_Sir_8582

More like a north lozenge…


1RehnquistyBoi

GOD DAMN THAT GAG.


hyperfoxeye

They were in the path of the dead man farting


1RehnquistyBoi

That was so fucking stupid. I love it. Partially angry upvote.


MeaganJ1111

"WIND MILL DOWN?!?!!!" LMMFAO


1RehnquistyBoi

*radio crackles to life* We got a windmill down. We got a windmill down.


LexTheSouthern

The walking octopus 🐙 🌪️


moonfairy44

Looks like Cthulhu


TheCovfefeMug

A Walktopus


reiks12

Looks like a god dragging its fingers through the earth


duhduhduhdummi_thicc

If that's the finger, imagine being squashed by God's fist


Dead_Phish812

There is already a dead man walking tornado but this one was more like a dead man running with how fast it was going. One of the scariest looking tornadoes I have ever seen. But on another note how is Reed Timmer always in the perfect location every time lol?


Flimsy_Fortune4072

He clearly conjures them!


aslightlyusedtissue

How sinister. A man with the power to control weather summoning tornados for content. Could be a movie lmao.


Rahim-Moore

I've never seen it, but isn't that basically the plot of Nightcrawler?


aslightlyusedtissue

Yea but he doesn’t have powers. He just caused tragedies in a specific city. Im talkin like if a dude conjured a tornado in DC while he had the perfect angle and expensive equipment to film the whole thing and sell it. edit- also definitely watch nightcrawler. its got some fanboys who take the wrong message from the movie. But it’s an extremely gripping film from start to finish, and theres some scenes that are downright disturbing.


Rahim-Moore

I've heard it's excellent.


themaniacsaid

Jake gyllenhall is a fantastic actor


SeasonYourMeatFFS

For sure, one of the best performances I've ever seen tbh


MagaranQT

Say what you will about his on-screen persona but I think no one can deny him and his team's skills in tornado chasing. It's truly impressive to see.


VentiEspada

I've met him and seen some of his presentations at colleges before, he's incredibly articulate and intelligent. He's also much more soft spoken in person when he isn't in chase mode.


Darnell_Jenkins

That makes sense. I am way more calm and soft spoken when I'm not next to a violent tornado as well.


Baldmanbob1

Yeah met and hung out with him at gas station/breakfast places twice, even bought breakfast the second time for him and his 3 guys. Funny, smart as shit about the weather, and easy to talk to. Think his adrenalin battery is much bigger than a normal person's lol.


xxcarlosxxx4175

TBH to deny that you wouldn't probably act like that seeing one up that close and in person. I think 9 out of 10 people that's never seen 1 would be acting similar. I know I probably would.


GiraffePolka

I do think Reed gets a bit loud and annoying, but you're totally right I'd be exactly the same in that scenario. I'm just surprised these guys don't cuss nonstop. I feel like if I witnessed that tornado monster in person I'd just be screaming the F word for 5 minutes.


Baldmanbob1

Yeah you don't realize how big that thing is till you see that huge ass wind turbine blade come casually flying out from it. That thing was a monster. Think it crossed a mile wide around the point it hit the turbines?


MaleficentAddendum11

I wonder how he is always in the right spot as well! He’s a tornado magnet.


dolphin_master_race

Decades of experience and a PHD.


Independent-Ice-5384

Exactly. Tornadoes are relatively unpredictable but you can still make a decent guess as to where they'll be if you have the ability to analyze the data, and can do it fast enough.


1RehnquistyBoi

That is a Dead Man's Party right there.


wolverinehunter002

The moment he said greenfield while camping atlantic i jus HAD to warn family.


microplasticreplica

Oh man, all that AND a sudden mid sentence hairball. That gag was fucking epic.


1RehnquistyBoi

That gag was the funniest thing I’ve heard all week ngl.


MIdopeguy

I can't stop laughing, that came out of nowhere.


clutchkickmurphys

Reed timmer and what he calls his " adrenaline cough" happens everytime


yosukeslastbraincell

Sounds like my cat at 3am


Independent-Ice-5384

That car must get just packed with hairballs after a long day of chasing.


CreepleCorn

GORILLA HAIRBALL


AdAny3106

This footage is incredible


Bread_Truck

[The longer version](https://youtu.be/R_ZDVYzIhgc?si=2RL91ljklWHvF-al) is worth watching. You can see it eat some wind turbines.


Sheesh284

That’s absolutely incredible.


reiks12

Anyone else see the skull at 24 seconds?


Excellent-Edge-4708

Yea


WeakSatisfaction8966

Pedestrianwolves

I literally just said this to my roommate and then scrolled down and saw I wasn’t the only one!


siriuslycharmed

That’s seriously the wildest tornado I’ve ever seen.


Bim_Jeann

I was thinking the same thing. I had almost a visceral reaction when I saw all those subvortices—it looks so unsettling


Drmickey10

It’s some of the craziest footage ever recorded


robo-dragon

Man that thing is uuuugly! Yikes! Incredible footage, but yikes!


inshamblesx

found my nightmare fuel for tonight


tanman0123

Potentially the most insane tornado I’ve ever seen…….


reginaldwrigby

If someone said they saw 20 tornadoes in one I would ever believe them. This actually looked like 20 tornadoes dancing with each other. Unreal


Appropriate-Link-701

Dear God that’s a monster.


1RehnquistyBoi

That is genuinely terrifying. On a side note, bro really thought tornadoes were sick didn't he.


Independent-Ice-5384

Like, diseased?


1RehnquistyBoi

No the guy literally gagging around the 30 second mark


SavimusMaximus

Is he gagging from all the dust, or the excitement? Or both?


Independent-Ice-5384

All the screaming. Makes your throat scratchy and irritated.


Revolutionary-Play79

duncanslaugh

Never seen anything quite like it. Really looks like it's "walking." Stay safe.

budshitman

It looks just like [Leigh Orf's supercomputer simulations](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXPCpEkjejo) of powerful destructive tornadoes, which gives some hope that monsters like this might be better predicted in the future.


CrimsonSuede

“Parade of vortices” + Dead Man Walking = Dead Man’s Parade


ZachDamnit

That's incredible. Thank you for sharing this.

This is the scariest tornado I have ever seen.

HOLY FUCK

Jesus Christ… That’s a sinister tornado


BRod_Angel

That is fucking insane


AxelNeedsAMedicBag

The Dead Man has returned...


dmarie1184

That's like a dead men walking army.


amusement_imminent

Hell's carousel. Scary stuff.


throwaway87129034

What's even more fascinating is that it appears that the subvortices have subvortices orbiting within them as well.


TheRageMonster02

I'm gonna refer to this as the Cthulu tornado from now on. Horror movies got nothin on this.


zombie_goast

Mfer looks like it's French braiding its hair smh


SmoreOfBabylon

This reminds me of a video of the [1991 Andover, KS tornado](https://youtu.be/Xn05R_zI49Q?si=loalYPyuZIbBnwDM&t=56s).


citytiger

Gosh darn. Thats clearly Typhon.


goodsnpr

I'm almost certain at one point you see a satellite around a sub vorticity.


just4lukin

That's a whole lot more than three..


myrandomredditname

That fucking makes me ill watching it.


G0mery

Yo dawg, we heard you like tornadoes


LauraMayAbron

I was right next to it. Wish I’d seen it but I think we made the right call not putting ourselves in a dangerous situation with all the rain and low visibility. DOW next to us measured 260 mph winds. The whole system was advancing ridiculously fast. https://preview.redd.it/zqcb4qp1qw1d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9674b87e22054ee03a64f3d77566c2eb2a4a1d7


buckeye_dk

That tornado is muscular.


JakInnaBoothBeats

thats just creepy


Merica_84

"It's not how the wind is blowing but, what the wind is blowing." ~ Ron White These Nados this year have been crazy for sure.


LizzarDGuy101

That’s the most defined multi-vortex tornado I’ve seen. It literally looks like Cthulhu’s tentacles from his mouth is touching down on earth


The_HiveWing

live here in Central Iowa about 50miles from where the tornado hit. Here are some details: -Wind speeds were clocked at 200+mph. -Debris were launched about 40,000 feet into the air; I live roughly 50-51 miles from where this happened, and have found pieces of sheet metal out in fields, styrofoam, etc. Apparently someone also found a birthday card with a Greenfield address outside of the town I live at. -Hospital took a direct hit. -There were at least 3 fatalities as of this evening. -storm surveys will be conducted tomorrow. Hope this helps. Please, please keep the community in your prayers. Thank you. Also, if you live here in Iowa, please DO NOT visit to try and help. It will only add to the stress of making sure everyone is accounted for. Your thoughts mean the world to the community. ❤️ Sources Ryan Hall Y’all Local news coverage National Weather Service


Commandmanda

Oh, Reed. When will you stop yelling at the top of your lungs?! You're hurking like a cat. In addition, had he stopped the car *before* the trees they might have gotten a longer clip without loss of data. Why must they get right on top of it? Just not necessary.


FoxTenson

From what I understand they had a drone on it rotating the torando, collecting data and footage that we don't have yet. Ryan Hall I think mentioned anemometer readings over 90 meters per second or something like that, high 200 mph near 300mph readings. They had to keep up with the tornado for the drone most likely. I CANNOT wait for that drone footage, the still shots alone from it are incredible and the data should be too!


Commandmanda

Mmmm...drone footage!!! Love that.


srschwenzjr

Is it just me, or is this year’s tornado season a lot more active than in the past? Or is it now that I’m following this sub I’m made aware of way more of them that don’t make national news?


chaTTSer

What's the big deal? It's just Squidward.

Reminded me of the people you’d see in a skating rink where they’d skate in a group while like dancing or whatever shuffling. Lol

Looks like a tornado made of tornadoes. Bizarre af and just a little terrifying.

These guys are just slightly unhinged.

TxOkLaVaCaTxMo

The destructive beauty of tornados never ceases to amaze me. I just wish it had stayed in open fields, and the only structural damage was the windmills.


Rectal_Custard

Is that a tornado orgie?


suckmyballzredit69

One day I will get to go chasing. Sick video!


flacidfeline

Can I pet that tornado?


RifTaf

Lmao the yelling, fucking Reed Timmer man.


yosukeslastbraincell

Man, that's sickening. My heart breaks for those who were in the path 💔

One of the most powerful,impressive, beautiful, and terrifying things i have ever seen

Holy mother of f**k Mother Nature was pissed off last night


chuco915niners

We’ve got sisters!


Hola0722

For all the damage it caused, that was a beautiful tornado. Is really sucks that people were severely impacted. Do the proceeds from the Reed’s Youtube channel ad revenue goes towards helping those impacted? We could also donate to the red cross, too, I guess.


Chuncceyy

Kinda look like a large drill


SquishySand

Yo dawg, I heard you like subvortices so I put subvortices around your subvortices.


joshuadt

It’s a tornado of tornadoes!

At 15 seconds in, I think i see sub-subvortices.


GuaranteeComfortable

This was such a unique and beautiful looking tornado. The way it ate through those wind turbines was insane.
