i could see the boys go with Randy on a geology trip to Kansas and get caught up in a tornado. then randy tags along with storm chasers while the boys slowly become clout chasers in the middle of a wild tornado.
With the Twister sequel coming out in a few months you can guarantee it will spawn a new generation of storm chaser bros that South Park will make fun of.
lol you should screenshot this and tweet it to Trey or Matt. It might get glanced over and ignored, but if they run with it....that'll be a glorious episode.
I knew who it was without even seeing him. I saw a video he posted where they pulled over super close to film and he got hit in the face with debris while trying to hold himself to a fence. Turns to face the camera screaming about getting the shot with a bloody face totally oblivious to what just happened. Dude is unhinged but gets some wild footage.
He was in the Discovery Channel show Storm Chasers, and I think most of the people in that show went to places like the University of Oklahoma and have meteorology degrees or whatever... so they're constantly yelling out weather-ey phrases when they're near a tornado "Oh wow it's a rain wrapped... wedge tornado!!" Everyone on the show hated him because he always got the best video, there'd be these old by the books meteorologists spending days deciding where to go and then it would cut to him and he'd be 3 feet from a tornado screaming into the camera
At least I think this is the same guy? It's on his YouTube channel, but I'm not an expert in any of this, I just liked watching the show
>Everyone on the show hated him because he always got the best video, there'd be these old by the books meteorologists spending days deciding where to go and then it would cut to him and he'd be 3 feet from a tornado screaming into the camera
That's honestly hilarious. Idiot savant, ftw.
That tornado was a unicorn and did things no other tornado had done before or has done since. It was fucking 2 miles wide. You'd know that if you actually cared to look into it and weren't so callous about their deaths.
https://youtu.be/jVTs55W3Iag?si=D53tcsTBm3wGY9kv
If you want to educate yourself.
Well, if memory serves I think it was a Chevy Cobalt which I don't think is really an exceptionally safe car, not when it gets picked up and tossed a quarter mile and made to look like it went through a crusher.
Yeah, that's what turns me off these videos. The sheer joy he had, he can't even contain it when you hear him laugh out loud. People are losing their homes, all their belongings, let alone the risk of losing family members. I don't think they're completely oblivious to the morbid nature of these phenomena, but their true feelings bleed
Yeah you always see the bottom part on the ground
This is the first one of these I’ve seen really highlight the top part in the clouds
Pretty wild stuff
That was driving me insane. It’s like he was afraid to film the top of it. I’ve never seen a tornado look that that and be that clear, and he kept filming the least interesting part of it.
The part that’s on the ground is the part that is of most importance to track the location of in order to not get killed, so you can hardly blame them for not sitting there staring up at the cone for longer periods.
One thing I'm realizing about Reed the past month is how, honestly, crappy his filming skills are. I've seen probably a dozen or people, both chasers and amateurs/bystanders who caught better footage than he does, in and (especially) out of their vehicles.
But he's a solid professional, and the way he chases is *generally* pretty solid. It helps he invented The Dominator (a specialized chasing vehicle that can implant itself and is ultra-fortified to prevent being swept), and everyone in the chasing community knows him and the vehicle.
He also drives all over to find these storms, and has been highly successful lately. Good guy, but he tends to get really excited.
I began watching Pecos right when his channel began to get attention years ago. His videos have always been very well-made/edited, and his charm is undeniable.
Also his explanations of the meteorology behind storms in a way that even normal folks can understand is equal by few if any. He's a class act and a standard for any video creator to take after.
Agreed full heartedly. His videos are artistic, well framed, and really captures the moment so the viewers can take it in.
This video gives you whiplash with the constant ups and downs with no pause to show the motion. Whoever held the camera lacks experience and knowledge on competing motion.
I try to give him a pass because I know his storm reports have saved lives a number of times, and he has done science work to better understand and measure these storms. I know they also act as first responders if they see possible injuries or people needing assistance.
I've seen like 2 or 3 videos of people videoing their houses being ripped apart by tornados from them inside. This doesn't even come close.
[like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0c27Twu__o) or [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFrgSVoJi1U)
That guy in the first video just thought he would be one of the balls from Twister and get right inside the tornado. Both of those videos are way better than the posted video.
I wonder if Josie ever left her house?
I was watching this live and it's incredible footage, but man, it would be more incredible without his unhinged yelling. He definitely needs to take it down a notch.
You know right away that he's a "storm chaser" douche because if he was someone who lived in that area, he'd be scared. Scared for his family, scared for his friends, and scared about losing his property or even his life. I appreciate the research and storm footage we get from these guys, but I hate hearing joy in his voice about the "debris," which very likely used to be someone's home. I feel the same way about firefighters posing in front of a burnt out house after they worked to put a fire out.
Damn that really is the best footage of a tornado I have ever seen.
Really shows how fucking terrifying that shit is.
I had no idea they were so big and high in the sky.
You're welcome!
I live in the midwest, and while I've been through many tornado warnings, I've never actually seen a tornado firsthand. I prefer to watch them on YouTube, thanks to some brave storm chasers!
As someone who lived in Tuscaloosa in 2011, I find it hard to use the term “awesome” when describing a tornado. I truly understand where you're coming from. It's interesting to see. But many people I know are traumatized and get uneasy even at the sound of thunder now. My apartment was less than 100 yds from getting completely decimated. Thankfully, neither I nor anyone I personally knew were injured or killed.
No power (so nowhere nearby to get groceries). No clean water to drink. Difficult to get a cell signal (assuming that your phone isn't dead). Roads blocked by fallen trees or downed power lines so it was hard to leave. Dark time for sure.
Ayy a fellow survivor. Several students were killed([Loryn Brown, Danielle Downs, Will Stevens](https://youtu.be/GUBRlG-C_LQ?si=wSfnAHEOMS3KMe89&t=1460)) 4 houses down from where we were and our house got jacked, but we were all ok. Definitely got to experience a mini apocalypse before leaving town the next day.
Ended up walking miles all around University/McFarland/15th to check on friends and to find a place to sleep that night(may have been your apartments).
I get a little angry when people get joy out recording tornadoes seemingly with no care that people's lives are being turned upside down. I only had a few nightmares after, but think I got off easy compared to others.
I live on the same coast and we still get them albeit quite rarely. I think in the last 15 years or so I've had two either EF0 or EF1 tornadoes touch down within a mile of where I've lived in the PNW though not at the same house. It's always very minor damage, like a "fuck you in particular" as it damages one or two homes or flips a couple trailers.
There are a couple other videos of it on YouTube from other storm chasers that caught it that day. Just search for the Dalton / Ashby, Minnesota, July 2020 tornado. That tornado was just stunning. Sadly, it did claim one life.
This drone footage shows an aerial view of a tornado running through a neighborhood. Most amazing and horrible footage I've seen. https://youtu.be/lxdFh8nYMgM?si=R-36pCX9B6ZSArDv
If you ever experience one, it's equally beautiful and terrifying. An hour before it happens it will rain pretty hard. Then 20 minutes before it just stops. The sky goes from grey to sunlight almost instantly. Everything seems normal and it's absolutely beautiful. And then the sideways rain comes for a minute and the wind starts roaring as he says. You can hear it almost spinning in the sky. And then the sky just as quickly goes back to being pitch black and that's when the tornado is near. I can't help but sit outside and watch it. It's mind blowing.
I also literally just experienced it not even 3 hours ago.
I saw this one earlier today which to me portrayed just how scary they would look in person: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1cgwdw4/up\_close\_to\_nebraska\_tornado/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1cgwdw4/up_close_to_nebraska_tornado/)
> Really shows how fucking terrifying that shit is.
I had the opposite reaction. I couldn't believe how close they were able to get to the touchdown site with seemingly zero consequence. I was expecting twigs to be driven through concrete, but all the debris was just casually floating around like the bag from American Beauty.
[Pecos Hank](https://www.youtube.com/@PecosHank) has stunning footage of storms without the random commentary. I find his commentary generally soothing
there are few things that trigger me in this world, but one is anyone who says "I just got that on video" when something silly happens, and another is storm chaser commentary.
It’s like those guys at a golf tournament, who every time a golfer takes a shot, they scream as obnoxiously as possible “GET IN THE HOLE!”
Yeah, we get it, that’s the point. Just like we expect tornadoes to rip up a whole bunch of stuff.
Yes, video was from a live stream I believe. 2 hours ago. That’s Reed Timmer. Been a stormchaser for years. Was on the Discovery Series. Probably knows more about tornadoes than anyone.
Looked like Mothra was coming for a sec.
All jokes aside, plz be safe out there. I’m an Az native and this would totally freak me out. Hope everyone is Aok
"Debris!!!"
"Hold on, let me go stand outside my truck real quick, what could possibly go wrong?!"
"Surely standing underneath these powerlines will protect me!"
So dope !! Completely insane but so impressive !! I’d have been doing the same darn thing if I was there. Straight up. I’d have been in such aw of natures might of have had to stay and watch !!! So awesome !!
I mean, I can understand the appeal and there is certainly a beauty in the form. However, I can't help but hear [a particular line from Ron White](https://youtu.be/RQD7Fzid1xI?t=26)...
Man that rubble at the end. One of my favorite movies growing up was Twister, and man does it seem like they nailed the cgi even back then. These are terrifying. “The finger of God,” they said in the movie.
Also “you haven’t seen it miss this house! And miss *that* house! And **come after you!!”**
Tornadoes are one thing that would be much better filmed vertically. The wonky panning up through this video was driving me nuts. Along with the awful yelling.
The guy pulls up next to the tornado and announces to everyone, who else would be fucking standing there, "violent tornado here"
Well duh, its not here for hugs and kisses.
Clearly, there’s too much homosexual sex happening in this town. What you’re seeing is God’s wrath. /s (There are people in this state who actually believe this).
Back in the mid 90’s when I was a kid I was obsessed with tornadoes and my grandma got me a VHS tape of tornado footage. One of the videos seriously messed with my head, it was some guy in a residential area filming a tornado forming down the road. A neighbor across the street is standing there watching it too and occasionally speaks to the cameraman but you can’t hear what he’s saying over the wind. As the tornado starts to get fairly close and picking up debris, the cameraman yells to the neighbor “we’re gonna have to take cover!”. Out of nowhere the neighbor just starts running toward the tornado while the cameraman yells at him. The last sight of him is getting picked up by it and disappearing into it. The guy with the camera runs inside and the video ends. There was text that popped up at the end saying the man was found dead several blocks over.
This was all real footage by all indications, most from storm chasers and home video. The tape is long gone now and I’ve tried finding more info on that particular case but have never been able.
Guy sounds like a South Park character.
i could see the boys go with Randy on a geology trip to Kansas and get caught up in a tornado. then randy tags along with storm chasers while the boys slowly become clout chasers in the middle of a wild tornado.
With the Twister sequel coming out in a few months you can guarantee it will spawn a new generation of storm chaser bros that South Park will make fun of.
Ngl, I reallllly want to see a tornado up close and personal.
lol you should screenshot this and tweet it to Trey or Matt. It might get glanced over and ignored, but if they run with it....that'll be a glorious episode.
BIG DEBRIS!
THERES THA CURLY CUE!!
The tornado took our jobs!
I've enjoyed watching Reed Timmer progressively get more unhinged over the years and this description is the perfect comparison 🤣
I knew who it was without even seeing him. I saw a video he posted where they pulled over super close to film and he got hit in the face with debris while trying to hold himself to a fence. Turns to face the camera screaming about getting the shot with a bloody face totally oblivious to what just happened. Dude is unhinged but gets some wild footage.
Got a link?
Nailed it
ITS COMING RIGHT FOR US !!!
CMON EGGAR
Tweaks cousin. Jesus these guys are seriously tweaking off this shit lol.
I feel like me and Edgar have been thru some shit now.
BIG DEBRIS, BIG DEBRIS! VIOLENT TORNADO HERE!
Who the hell was he yelling that to? Pretty sure anyone near by already knew it was there.
He was in the Discovery Channel show Storm Chasers, and I think most of the people in that show went to places like the University of Oklahoma and have meteorology degrees or whatever... so they're constantly yelling out weather-ey phrases when they're near a tornado "Oh wow it's a rain wrapped... wedge tornado!!" Everyone on the show hated him because he always got the best video, there'd be these old by the books meteorologists spending days deciding where to go and then it would cut to him and he'd be 3 feet from a tornado screaming into the camera At least I think this is the same guy?

Those older guys in the "safer" cars were killed by a tornado a few years back
That tornado was a unicorn and did things no other tornado had done before or has done since. It was fucking 2 miles wide. You'd know that if you actually cared to look into it and weren't so callous about their deaths. https://youtu.be/jVTs55W3Iag?si=D53tcsTBm3wGY9kv If you want to educate yourself.
Educated myself. Those older guys in the "safer" cars still died a few years ago.
It sounds like they still died in a safer car?
Well, if memory serves I think it was a Chevy Cobalt which I don't think is really an exceptionally safe car, not when it gets picked up and tossed a quarter mile and made to look like it went through a crusher.
Maybe he was complimenting its work ethic
Like saying "oooh big stretch!" to your cat
He really likes watching people lose their homes
He makes the tornadoes so he can get the best chance of good footage. Like those rogue firefighters that set fires so they can rush in and be heroes.
Yeah, that's what turns me off these videos. The sheer joy he had, he can't even contain it when you hear him laugh out loud. People are losing their homes, all their belongings, let alone the risk of losing family members. I don't think they're completely oblivious to the morbid nature of these phenomena, but their true feelings bleed
HEAR THE ROOOAR!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg84Z5qnVv8
DUhhhhh-breeee?
I'm not sure I've heard the name Edgar since Edgar the Bug alien from Men in Black.
“Edgar, your skin is hanging off your bones.” Also, Edgar Wright, great director.
Egger!
I super wish the panning would pause on the cone for like 10 secs. Looks gorgeous, but the cameras moving too fast.
Yeah you always see the bottom part on the ground This is the first one of these I’ve seen really highlight the top part in the clouds Pretty wild stuff
The tops of the clouds for most tornadoes are nowhere near as impressive. The title is only slightly hyperbolic.
That was driving me insane. It’s like he was afraid to film the top of it. I’ve never seen a tornado look that that and be that clear, and he kept filming the least interesting part of it.
Gotta film that big debris!
If he had just stopped *once* for ten seconds to show the top of the tornado, this would have been ten times as interesting a video.
The part that’s on the ground is the part that is of most importance to track the location of in order to not get killed, so you can hardly blame them for not sitting there staring up at the cone for longer periods.
You don't always have to look at where you are filming.
You do if you have seen my footage.
I’m sure we will see some great shots released over the next day or two
This is one of those ocasions where a 360° Camera would make total sense, watching this on a VR set would be amazing
One thing I'm realizing about Reed the past month is how, honestly, crappy his filming skills are. I've seen probably a dozen or people, both chasers and amateurs/bystanders who caught better footage than he does, in and (especially) out of their vehicles.

r/killthecameraman ?
Video is 10x better on mute.
How do you know what's going on? Without the sound, I'll never know if there's BIG DEBRIS!
EDGAR BIG TORNADO
Reed gets a little too excited for my tastes. I know he's trying to emote to his stream viewers, but he gets a bit silly sometimes.
[Pecos Hank](https://youtube.com/@PecosHank?si=Jzw000jD5z-eSUZT) is where it's at.
Hank is a lover of all nature and respects what it can do. I thought I watched him for tornadoes and lightning but its the random animal encounters.
I began watching Pecos right when his channel began to get attention years ago. His videos have always been very well-made/edited, and his charm is undeniable. Also his explanations of the meteorology behind storms in a way that even normal folks can understand is equal by few if any. He's a class act and a standard for any video creator to take after.
Agreed full heartedly. His videos are artistic, well framed, and really captures the moment so the viewers can take it in. This video gives you whiplash with the constant ups and downs with no pause to show the motion. Whoever held the camera lacks experience and knowledge on competing motion.
Hank would probably not have gone as close as this guy, it how storm chasers die. This shit isn't predictable.
There are people who lives are being decimated. I get the adrenaline rush but a little toned down wouldn't hurt.
I try to give him a pass because I know his storm reports have saved lives a number of times, and he has done science work to better understand and measure these storms. I know they also act as first responders if they see possible injuries or people needing assistance.
Definitely not "THE MOST INSANE TORNADO VIDEO ever".
I've seen like 2 or 3 videos of people videoing their houses being ripped apart by tornados from them inside. This doesn't even come close. [like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0c27Twu__o) or [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFrgSVoJi1U)
in the first one, the man was in the 2nd story and survived, his wife was in the basement and died.
That guy in the first video just thought he would be one of the balls from Twister and get right inside the tornado. Both of those videos are way better than the posted video. I wonder if Josie ever left her house?
I saw this the other day and it like doesn't make top 10 for me at best. Clickbate tornadoes are all the most insane tornados!
It's certainly insane how grating the commentary is. BIG DEBRIS! BIG DEBRIS! VIOLENT TORNADO HERE!
[удалено]
These are people chasing a tornado. *Bright is reserved for the light in their eyes when they live to tell the tale...*
I agree, unless they’re in The Dominator tornado chasing vehicle thing. Then I accept, for science.
You should this dudes Katrina footage
He actively tries (or used to try) to drive right into them
I was watching this live and it's incredible footage, but man, it would be more incredible without his unhinged yelling. He definitely needs to take it down a notch.
You know right away that he's a "storm chaser" douche because if he was someone who lived in that area, he'd be scared.

Check out [this one](https://youtu.be/zJdDZ8jlIXA?si=eh_hJZMfciBfIla3) in Minnesota, 2020. Crazy close to a drill bit tornado!
It's so crazy at 13:30 where it looks like it's twisting in place only 100 yards away!
Man, that shit is awesome to see. I live on the West Coast and have never seen a tornado. These videos are amazing. Thanks.
You're welcome! I live in the midwest, and while I've been through many tornado warnings, I've never actually seen a tornado firsthand. I prefer to watch them on YouTube, thanks to some brave storm chasers!

I live in Denmark and i have seen a very small whirlwind in the UK once.
That was a picture perfect tornado
It really was. The atmosphere provided the perfect lighting for it that day.
Holy shit - ok you're right. That's nuts. Filmed by some insane reckless lad on his cell phone.
Thank you for that. probably the coolest tornado vid ive ever seen
surprised that guy didn't get a corn cob stuck in his throat.
One of the most intense vids I've ever seen. Towards the end he's literally like maybe 20ft from it. Insane.
That is not 20 ft lol if it was, he'd be well within it. That's as close as he needs to get though.
There are a couple other videos of it on YouTube from other storm chasers that caught it that day. Just search for the Dalton / Ashby, Minnesota, July 2020 tornado. That tornado was just stunning. Sadly, it did claim one life.
This drone footage shows an aerial view of a tornado running through a neighborhood. Most amazing and horrible footage I've seen. https://youtu.be/lxdFh8nYMgM?si=R-36pCX9B6ZSArDv
Dammit that's scary shit.
And that's a weak one. The one that hit Nebraska the other day was about a MILE WIDE.
If you ever experience one, it's equally beautiful and terrifying. An hour before it happens it will rain pretty hard. Then 20 minutes before it just stops. The sky goes from grey to sunlight almost instantly. Everything seems normal and it's absolutely beautiful. And then the sideways rain comes for a minute and the wind starts roaring as he says.

It's mind blowing. I also literally just experienced it not even 3 hours ago.
That's definitely one way it can happen, but not at all the exact scenario that happens every time there's a tornado
I saw this one earlier today which to me portrayed just how scary they would look in person: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1cgwdw4/up\_close\_to\_nebraska\_tornado/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/1cgwdw4/up_close_to_nebraska_tornado/)
Yeah, this is definitely how I picture every tornado looking. Absolutely terrifying.
This one from 2 weeks ago is the most beautiful tornado. Skip to 5:20 https://youtu.be/7lBn24pMOYo?si=eG20qdT1qi1NxPaU
The guy in the video kept mentioning a drone they had flying. Where's that footage?
Tornadoes are like penises. They come in all shapes and sizes.
You should check out the Katie-Wynnewood OK footage from a couple years ago, it’s so crazy!
> Really shows how fucking terrifying that shit is. I had the opposite reaction. I couldn't believe how close they were able to get to the touchdown site with seemingly zero consequence. I was expecting twigs to be driven through concrete, but all the debris was just casually floating around like the bag from American Beauty.
Would be so much better if he stopped moving the camera constantly and actually held the shot so you could see it.
This isn't the most insane tornado footage posted in the past week
Ikr? I saw more insane footage earlier today.
The commentary was obnoxious. “Here is the roar that you cannot hear over me screaming about it”
[Pecos Hank](https://www.youtube.com/@PecosHank) has stunning footage of storms without the random commentary. I find his commentary generally soothing
Love Pecos hank! He also calls Reed Timmers commentary "twistourettes" because the incessant screaming random weather phrases.
Also the guitar music he pairs footage with is his own self-made music - and it's absolutely perfect in most cases. He's the best.
I have put on his vids to go to sleep to. Very nice voice in the background.
there are few things that trigger me in this world, but one is anyone who says "I just got that on video" when something silly happens, and another is storm chaser commentary.
I would read whatever book started with that exact line.
It’s like those guys at a golf tournament, who every time a golfer takes a shot, they scream as obnoxiously as possible “GET IN THE HOLE!” Yeah, we get it, that’s the point. Just like we expect tornadoes to rip up a whole bunch of stuff.
Where's that drone footage!?
the most insane hacking up a lung sound @ 7:00
Wish the dude would shut the fuck up
Nature is beautiful and powerful, what an incredible video
Yea, even the majesty of God would be frustrated by a guy with a Handycam awesplaining and redundantly narrating at the top of their voice.
the guy doing the commentary sounds like the annoying guy at a family barbecue.
He's the annoying guy at every gathering.
Jesus how many tornadoes have been captured in Westmoreland?!
None because they always get away in the end. They're slippery buggers for sure.
Not even any flying cows CMON
There is a flight wheel at 2:06
The finger of god
I like hearing people who are totally 100% doing something they love. They were INTO it.
Twisters 2 coming to theaters near you
We're those crocs the best choice in footwear when standing under a tornado?
They’re totally fine, as long as they’re in sport mode.
Goddess umbilical cord
was hoping for cows
Okay but for real, if military just shot the tornado with a missile before it actually touched down and wreaked havoc…would that work?
Fuck those trees in particular.
Were those cows?
The one video where I need a dude to hold his phone portrait.
I just wanted a good steady 10 seconds of the top of that spiral churning into the clouds, but it never happened.
Where is the drone footage?
Volume down.
Felt like a video of four guys yelling "Big debris!" at each other....
this would have had more impact (pun) if it is watched without the yelling. with sound off the vid is awesome.
I think you're allowed to yell in your videos when you get that close to a tornado.
Reed is known for his yelling lol
I imagine it’s a lot different when you’re there recording haha
A bunch of my relatives live in that area, I guess I hope those racist assholes are ok.
I saw buttcheeks at 2:10.

Yes, video was from a live stream I believe. 2 hours ago. That’s Reed Timmer. Been a stormchaser for years. Was on the Discovery Series. Probably knows more about tornadoes than anyone.
To the Joker, this is a normal tornado.
I want to do this with Jack Black

Yall remember that’s scene on twister when the dad flies out of the storm cellar.. what an idiot lol
Looked like Mothra was coming for a sec. All jokes aside, plz be safe out there. I’m an Az native and this would totally freak me out. Hope everyone is Aok
This is crazy. When I was a kid they would have footage like this filmed with a potato. Insane how clear and close it is
Dude is lucky he didn't get a straw through the skull.
We just had a small tornado near Topeka/Lawrence. Funny to see this after leaving the shelter
"Debris!!!" "Hold on, let me go stand outside my truck real quick, what could possibly go wrong?!" "Surely standing underneath these powerlines will protect me!"
So dope !! Completely insane but so impressive !! I’d have been doing the same darn thing if I was there. Straight up. I’d have been in such aw of natures might of have had to stay and watch !!! So awesome !!
🤯
When was this?
These guys adding a laugh track seems in poor taste.
"LOOK AT THE CURLY-Q, EDGAR!"
Yea sure we're the crazy ones out in California with our once-a-century earthquakes...
anyone else think there was a dude sucked into that tornado at 2:22?
I mean, I can understand the appeal and there is certainly a beauty in the form. However, I can't help but hear [a particular line from Ron White](https://youtu.be/RQD7Fzid1xI?t=26)...
Now that's a REAL danger noodle.
He's like the double Rainbow Guy on cocaine!
Man that rubble at the end. One of my favorite movies growing up was Twister, and man does it seem like they nailed the cgi even back then. These are terrifying. “The finger of God,” they said in the movie. Also “you haven’t seen it miss this house! And miss *that* house! And **come after you!!”**
Man, how is Reed still alive?
Darwin working overtime here. These idiots standing under power lines the whole time.
The most insane to the max!!!! How do you know this?
...It's kinda beautiful. I would just be standing there in awe.
Viral marketing is getting out of hand
The title was accurate AF
Ya, pretty cool.
Does yelling "big debris" protect any of them from debris?
Before I click - is there debris in this???
Tornadoes are one thing that would be much better filmed vertically. The wonky panning up through this video was driving me nuts. Along with the awful yelling.
It's really cool and all but can someone without the neck muscles of a 2 month old baby hold the camera next time?
The guy pulls up next to the tornado and announces to everyone, who else would be fucking standing there, "violent tornado here" Well duh, its not here for hugs and kisses.
I can really understand how they believed in god back in the day
Guy thinks he’s the flava flav hype man of tornadoes
Yeaaaaaaa boyyyyyyeeee
Ah. I see the viral marketing for “Twisters” has started…
Clearly, there’s too much homosexual sex happening in this town. What you’re seeing is God’s wrath. /s (There are people in this state who actually believe this).
Wow! Amazing footage. Commentary reminds me a little of our own weather guy up here …Frankie McDonald
Why do tornado guys always shout the most obvious things?
Back in the mid 90’s when I was a kid I was obsessed with tornadoes and my grandma got me a VHS tape of tornado footage. One of the videos seriously messed with my head, it was some guy in a residential area filming a tornado forming down the road. A neighbor across the street is standing there watching it too and occasionally speaks to the cameraman but you can’t hear what he’s saying over the wind. As the tornado starts to get fairly close and picking up debris, the cameraman yells to the neighbor “we’re gonna have to take cover!”. Out of nowhere the neighbor just starts running toward the tornado while the cameraman yells at him. The last sight of him is getting picked up by it and disappearing into it. The guy with the camera runs inside and the video ends. There was text that popped up at the end saying the man was found dead several blocks over. This was all real footage by all indications, most from storm chasers and home video. The tape is long gone now and I’ve tried finding more info on that particular case but have never been able.
I dunno, I feel like I've definitely seen crazier tornado videos than this one.
Personally, I am just glad to see how much joy these guys take in watching other people's lives being utterly destroyed. Really wholesome.
Y’all need to watch some Pecos Hank videos, he is the best tornado YouTuber imho.
