If you look closely, that's a big violent tornadoe with debris falling...

I took a drink every time he said "large tornado on the ground.". I wish I wouldn't have

As you can see, hills/mountains mean nothing to a strong tornado.

I'm wondering if it's large and on the ground.

Ive never seen a tornado go up a hill in my life until now😂

"Listen to that roar." Yeah that's what we are trying to do.

I kid you not, that was a “LARGE TORNADO, LARGE TORNADO, LARGE TORNADO ON THE GROUND!!!!!!”

Ok ok we know it's large and debris....heard you the 1st time!

Im not sure....but was it a LARGE tornado?

Really interesting to see the tornado go up the side of the hill

Hills- "We will stop it here!" Tornado- "Am I a joke to you?"

Y'all have really been on top of this southern storm system today. Appreciate all the posts. Y'all stay safe. ✌🏼💚

That shit missed me by a mile, My friends in Eagle Point weren't so lucky 😣

Was that a large tornado? 😂 Stay safe!!!

I've never seen a tornado go up a hill. That was interesting and scary.

Seeing those cars extremely close to it towards the end makes me anxious

Quote of the day "Large tornado on the ground"

That shot starting at 2:02 of the vortex going up that hill was magnificent. Great work! Potential best shot of 2021? Save that clip!

dude in the truck at the beginning really said "aight imma head out"

It's scary that people don't even know what tornados look like in real life when it's right next to them.

2:02 That truck was like, "Nope!"

How I think I would sound filming a tornado: [silent awe] How I would actually sound: “LARGE TORNADO! VIOLENT TORNADO! DEBRIS! DEBRIS! LARGE TORNADO ON THE GROUND! VIOLENT TORNADO! LARGE...”

It missed my home just barely. Scariest moment of my life 😔🙏🏽

yeah, yeah, yeah....we get it....it's a large tornado! LMAO.

Now what size was that tornado again? You were never really clear on that and left a bunch of us hanging😅😅😅😅

This video really demonstrates how little tornadoes care about hills and terrain. There are soo many people that claim their area is safe from tornadoes because they live in a valley etc. You aren't..

This is one brave guy. From someone who lives in the South and have experienced the dread, fear and devastation of violent storms all my life.....hats off to you for being brave enough to chase and record.

Great footage.. but that's not a great spot to be in. You're lucky it didn't change direction. Only a few degrees and you would've been part of that violent debris

Right after it went over the mountain by highland lakes it went right beside my house a view minutes later in Vandiver. Scariest thing I've ever witnessed! Hope everyone is safe and ok.

Last week one landed 1 street behind me. Im in a mobile home unable to walk from a wreck Feb 2020. 🌪️ is down right scary. Praying for everyone's safety. Condolences to those who have lost someone. How tragic. Thanks for the video. Great coverage. My took me to Lake Purdy fishing when a lil girl. R.I.P Dad 10/3/19 🎣

What size was the tornado? I don’t think he mentioned it in the vid?

This was less than a mile from my home. This is Double Oak Mountain on Hwy 280 to the S.E. of Birmingham, AL. The Tornado was a long-track Tornado that was on the ground for over 100 miles before continuing for 45+ miles AFTER this footage was recorded, (as of this comment, they're still evaluating the path, but that's the latest estimate). The houses on top of the ridge are very large, multi-million homes. 97 houses were damaged or destroyed along that ridge and in the neighborhood behind it. 1 injury, zero deaths. (As of last released stats). "Tornadoes don't climb mountains" is a myth. They can and do. Remember they are "dragged along" by the weather systems aloft. The terrain may slow the inflow a bit, but on large tornadoes the slowing effect is quickly overcome by the strength of the Tornado.

But was it a large tornado? And was it on the ground? It wasn’t clear from the video narration.

Didn't look THAT large. But then I survived the Joplin tornado.

Wow, the south gets big tornadoes

Looks like a big one! That sound is eerie!!! I hope everyone in the area has made it to safety😭

I live and work within a half mile of there it was crazy 😳 thank you for this.

My first time seeing a tornado climb a mountain.

I lived there near Lee Branch for 4 years, never had a tornado near me. Been following the weather that way ever since I left and this is the first time I can think of in well over 15 years I’ve seen a tornado take that path...unreal...

I didn’t actually think tornadoes were capable of going up ridges and mountains but that is very mesmerizing

Best intercept of the day so far! 👍🏻

This person was extremely lucky to find a spot where they could spot the tornado in the southeast because the terrain is heavily wooded. Plus, they're almost always rain wrapped. To end this long, for nothing comment... I wanna say that I work on Opelika, Alabama and the night before all this hit the Birmingham area, I thought one was gonna hit the Auburn era. It was really rough.

Cool video. My son was in the path of this on hwy 119 it came through Chelsea , Pelham and as it crossed hwy 31 - I can't scream loud enough to express how thankful I am that it lifted off of the ground and sort of hopped over (for lack of a better term at the moment) hwy 31 and interstate 65 by oak mtn. Before touching back down again and crossing hwy 280. My son was at a dentist office on 119 just where it had lifted back up in between the times it was on the ground he said he looked up and it was just passing over him he said the entire sky above was rotating he said seemingly in slow motion at the time.. I'm thankful he lives to tell about it. But my huge problem is WHY WERE NO SIRENS GOING OFF??!!! ZERO ARE HEARD BECAUSE NONE WERE GOING OFF TO EVER BE HEARD TO WARN PEOPLE OF THIS MASSIVE IMMINENT DANGER !! Tax dollars hard at work. There should be working sirens in place within earshot of every road especially a busy and densely populated area such as this! The money and funding has been given to place sirens where they need to be but ??? I couldn't hear any. Could you? Smh

"Big tornado!" "Debris falling!" lol... good video.

I’m a truck driver and just came right where it passed over 280. I noticed the downed trees and blue tarps on the houses in the valley. I didn’t even know a tornado came through there but I could tell my the damage. What amazes me is that it went up a STEEP incline. From the the damage I assumed it came down the mountain.

Me: Run like sonic The other me: Shelter now

I guess there is a large tornado on the ground.

I've never seen a tornado go up a mountain before.

Man that’s some great footage good job I love these videos so much

Thanks for getting this footage! Thankfully it disapated before getting to Childersburg

I can't believe how people are driving around like nothing is going on

Great stream today Brandon!! Love to see this live and thank you:)

Unreal quality to the gloomy atmosphere and the complete absence of wind from your vantage point. Even the RFD seemed to take forever before it hit. Weird storm, cool video.

Are we not going to talk about the dragon that flew through the sky 😂 1:18

You could see the power go off at the building on the right at 2:05.

I love weather videos thank you for the upload

Dixie Alley is getting more tornados and the traditional Tornado Alley is getting less. I read that somewhere

Buddy, you have caught some of the best footage going, showing how these violent bastards work👍. Excellent video.

The sky looks green. I wonder if that's a frequent phenomenon? That looks like a pretty violent tornado like he says. Talk about a difficult search and rescue response, those hillside wooded roads with trees taken down every 100 feet. Thank God for smartphone alerts and basements.

What I noticed the most about this video was that there was no tornado warning sirens going off.

Great work on the video, I would have been shaking like a leaf! It looks so spooky with the green skies!

I'm from Wetumpka Alabama and yes this severe 🌪 was very dangerous and powerful!!!

This is my home. This is where I live. No words can describe the amount of damage caused by this supercell thunderstorm. The tornados created destroyed so many iconic local landmarks: my son’s summer camp at oak mountain, His elementary school, the neighborhoods lining 119 heading towards 280, the White House everyone loved that had beautiful dogs and an amazing kennel...I don’t even know if that family is okay. Imagine a beautiful tucked off farmhouse with massive oak trees. Then picture every tree in that yard toppled over and destroyed. There is no dog kennel any longer, heck, I can’t even tell what’s the yard anymore. The animal clinic right beside the elementary school...destroyed. The list of tragedy just goes on and on.

Damn I used to live like a quarter mile from that very spot. 119 and 280.

It hit about a mile and a half away from me! I was hunkered down in my basement with a hard hat on under a heavy desk and surrounded by pillows and blankets. I did peak out and saw the wind swirling around and the sky turned an eerie greenish (not sure why) before I dunked back down under the desk. All good. The good thing is we knew for about an hour that this was headed our way so had time to plan. The tornadoes usually die down but this one tracked up and down for about 200 miles. All the way into Georgia!

Damn! Stay safe everyone down south!

I'm not sure. Was that a large tornado?

From that initial distance, the roar/rumbling of the tornado doesn't sound like train tracks. It sounds like some Lovecraftian nightmare. Like Hell itself is shrieking its way towards you.

When do you guys rest? ,,, lots of great catches. thanks for sharing this.

How close are you guys to this tornado?

This was a crazy one I was work at when this happened formed really close I haven’t been that nervous in awhile

No sirens? Maybe I just can't hear it. Great job guys

TY for the videos. I slept through F5 in 1974 . Warnings were not near as good as today

How come you couldn't hear the sirens right away?? (or am I deaf? lol)

The calmest storm chaser ever😂

wow, amazing. Thanks so much for catching this live.

This was right after it past me. I was at work off of hwy 119 in Greystone and it went right past my building. That was a crazy day.

Wow!! Great footage!

That would be terrifying. People living in parts of states that don’t often seen them are going to be stunned when they hit. Climate change has thrown the air streams out of whack to a major degree. It’s going to be a rough spring.

Video proof that hills and mountains don't slow down or stop a tornado...

We were in Smith lake for a week and drove through Birmingham the day before this hit. My first time in Alabama and I loved it. I hope all that were affected by this tornado is ok.

This guys vocabulary is set to 5 words tops.

Drove through a tornado in Central Illinois with 7800 gal of gasoline on a tank truck.

Legend has it, it's still a large tornado.

Sorry, I didn't catch you the first time. Did you say there was a large tornado on the ground?

Great capture with sound. I've lived in flat land & hilly land. Am I correct to say that more & more tornados are hitting the highlands where they rarely if ever do? Could someone please verify? These early Spring tornados have mostly been ridge runners. Been thinking we're going to have a very active Spring.

My wife and I had just visited Birmingham a couple weeks ago. My wife has family in Alabama we visited Barber car museum, the vulcan, the Botanical Gardens, went to the Bulls game drove up and down 280 to Lake purdy. So sorry to see all this damage! Thoughts and prayers towards everyone.

Had to make sure I didn’t have descriptive narration on... yes, I can see exactly what you’re describing. Got any insightful analysis or just the obvious?

We can see what’s right there on the screen, no need to be so dramatic and keep Shouting Debris Debris Debris,

Why weren’t any tornado sirens going 🥺

I don't live in a place that sees many tornadoes, so I'm not one to judge... but I have to wonder how those people he encountered on the road didn't see that tornado when they went outside. Like what would have happened if he hadn't told them there was a monster tornado behind them? Unless maybe if they were chasers too.

Knew at some point I would hear about the"RFD" ,was waiting for "WEDGE, WEDGE ,WEDGE TORNADO!!!"

I was sitting right on other side of that mountain in Highland Lakes right across from Eagle point! We were ok,some weren't so lucky😰

Thank you for warning people.

Praying for everyone's safety. 💕🙏😇❤

0:58 That clear slot in the left ot the tornado looks textbook!

Heard no sirens & that tornado was big enough to do serious damage, people watch the weather always for safety.

Large tornado, large tornado, large tornado, large tornado, large tornado, large tornado, large tornado....

Captain Stormchaser with the narration.

The constant high volume repetition of "debris debris large tornado!" might be a little bit annoying but in the end I have to say I respect what you are doing and appreciate that you are even taking the time/effort to make the content to share things like this with us. Stay safe!
