Yeah, the Ford didn't flip on it's side like that Chevy did in Texas; it stayed put, just "like a rock".

Now ..I gotta tell the guy selling the Chevy..Nevermind!😬

Have you driven a Ford, lately?

Fords suck so bad not even a tornado wants it

Literally right!!! Ford should use this ....

Agree. Every pretentious newscast/youtube expert these days thinks we need information spoon fed to us, when showing raw footage is always the most significantly informing.

Uhhh pretty sure this person wasn’t standing there to give commentary. I’m so glad people are more worried about clean footage instead of the people in the home and the home that was just destroyed.

@@RaccoonRose They’re talking about adding commentary over the video after the fact.

Dude. No Metallica? What the..

Yea, I hate it when they just talk for every second without letting us hear what’s going on

Now I know what a mesovortex is. I didn't see the wind/debris at the time stamp until you pointed it out to me; when I first heard the crash, I thought that was just debris. The fact that was a buzzsaw tornado ripping through a house using wind force is terrifying.

Thanks for the description and pointing it out, the force of that was insane

Yeah that was wild, you can see it smash right into the house and break the windows

Good eye. I saw it after reading this and replaying the video

holy sht that was fast! looks like it hit the house like a plane.

And then blue sky peeking through afterward. 😳

@@ButtChugDoug66 wrong time bud, wrong time 😐

@@ButtChugDoug66 oh, you too, damn

They don’t say “the calm before the storm” for nothing🤷🏽‍♂️

Yep. Best not to take chances when you're not positive if it's the funnel or not. Also I get what you mean about the sky looking calm at first, but there's definitely some of that telltale green color when a tornado is close by

Yep anytime theres bad weather gotta be ready to run somewhere safe. Got hit by a tornado in 2019. About a minute or 2 before any warning or sirens.

@@rileyxbell We got hit by a small EF2 last spring, and it hit before the sirens went off. It showed up on radar at the last second and it even hit us before the NWS was able to issue an actually warning. And then was over in a matter of seconds.

You would be correct. That was a smaller vorticity that spun up on the outer wall of the main tornado. Forward motion was 70+mph, with estimated velocity inside that vortex being 180mph at the very least. One parcel(piece of debris) travelled one rotation in roughly one second which gives me the estimated wind speed.

Totally agree. The steady roar is the main circulation above, really. But at 1:25 you can see the very small Mesovortex coming straight for the house, from the left side of the screen. They are very dangerous. Often smaller than the size of one house, but can have 200+ mph winds in them. I've seen some houses with a strip torn out of them, right down the middle of the house, because a Mesovortex came through there that was only a few feet wide on the ground, but with insanely powerful wind. Its like a buzzsaw.

There was no sirens at all.

True

So late

Sirens arent and have never been meant to alert people indoors.

They should be going off if you’re supposed to be seeking shelter.

As I read this comment, I said to myself well hell I'm half way through the Vid..... "Sirens"

@@carolrobinson7779 I didn't see it break a window in that video. Is this a commercial for a Runnels built home or what.

That first minute and a half I thought the tornado had already gone through only to be surprised with that real fast tornado after that. I don’t know if that was the main tornado or maybe a satellite but I did not expect that! Amazing video!

@@Cowboy-Trucking61 lol don't know about that. I think a window broke off camera and that's what the others are referencing.

@@MemphisTiger it was the main one, about 45min later there was another in this storm track that dropped down @20 miles SW momentarily but pulled up. Cromwell Iowa area. The Chariton tornado was wreaking havoc at that moment. I was sitting on the roadside near Williamson splitting the two storms.

Right??!!!!! I had replay it twice to make sure those were headlights!

That is what I was wondering. Was it a police car or was that just the lights behind trees? Hope they are ok.

Probably someone racing home to loved ones in it's path. I know I would be doing the same.

WHY would that touch off YOUR anxiety???? You weren't even there.

@@blkft And what good would driving through a tornado and getting possibly killed do?????

Right? Just within moments. Then it gets lighter again after the rain and hail pass. Hope I never have to witness this in person!

@@davidlafleche1142 there is no god. Just man made stories to keep people in line. lol.

For that camera to be placed in a decent spot that caught alot of the noises, and captured everything in the way. That right there could make or break anyone that has never been in a Tornado before. Never been in a Tornado but through hurricanes that was amazing.

@@iJoYBoY.6 Jesus loves you.

That was a great example of what a multi vortex tornado can do along with the strong RFD and the hail.

Yes, it hailed in the video. But how do you know for sure they got hit by a vortice? What kind of wisdom or knowledge do you have that makes you so confident when that part of the video was so fuzzy and rainy and dark?

@@Religious_man at 1:30 you definitely see a vortex approach and nearly hit where the camera was placed. If it would have been a direct hit there wouldn’t be this video to watch though. Near miss.

@@BeRise24 Wrong, we see no vortex. Too wet, and debris falling/thrown at the window. We see fuzzy clouds rapidly moving from left to right in the distance at 10 seconds. I think what really happened was an unseen circulation hitting the residence, but we see no funnel. There is no "rfd" shit, either.

@@Religious_man the vortices comes thru at 1:27min on the left side of the video. Using KZfaq’s settings button on the bottom right of the screen (shape like a gear) select playback speed then select a slow speed of 0.25. Now you should be able to see the satellite vortices as it passes by and hits the home.

There wasn't a house there to begin with. It was street lights and a cluster of trees mixed with a reflection from inside this house behind the camera...

@@joshuacorrington153 the house on the left side of the screen about a quarter mile away. I think that's the one they're referring to. But, it is still there. I can see the outline of it in a couple of frames, it only appears to have disappeared but this is because the camera has lost it in the rain.

@@joshuacorrington153Don’t think they were street lights. Looked to be reflections of the interior lamps of their living room or whatever room this was filmed in. I know I’m a year too late but I had to comment because I thought the same thing. I’m unsure if there was a house in view in the video prior to the storm. I thought I saw something but I could be wrong. Hard to tell when the video’s not geotagged either.

That house across the street defintely looks gone. Zoom in - It's located in the distance between the closest, leftmost tree and the edge of the driveway at the beginning of the clip and at the end of the clip, it appears to be gone 😵

​@@NixyRumancek Fox4 article online says this home in the video is located at "8100 block of SE 13th Avenue" in Runnells Iowa. Google Earth will give a before and after satellite imaging I think

Hail comes before, or after a tornado. As I remember from being in many tornado warnings at my college during summer school, we had a tornado warning nearly twice a week, and hail always followed, or was before a tornado hit.

@@nancybernard3117 I think it's usually before the tornado.

Yes, before. And during. I have lived in Tornado alley all of my life. Scary, powerful thing a tornado is.

It is not like that always. I had a ef3 tornadd hit my house in 2021 and my house was jot blow open. and hail was before.

Yes! Ryan Hall y’all hang! ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

As a weather nerd I think Ryan is the best channel on KZfaq hands down.

Ryan is the best. I found his channel back in December when I was following the Kentucky storms.

Ryan Hall is one of the best weather information people on KZfaq, my family are all subscribed to him.

He’s too hokey with all of his cheesy sound effects and money grubbing. POW or Texas Storm chasers are better.

God blesses His children!

Was about to ask if anyone else noticed that. Pretty amazing footage. Also, hail or debris falling from the sky?

Yeah. I recorded my own direct hit from an EF4 at peak strength last year but it happened at 12:03AM (midnight) and it killed my Nest cameras so all we got is my brother cursing from the basement followed by the aftermath.

I'm glad it wasn't as bad as I've seen when directly hit. It was way better and less destructive then most videos I've seen. Good news for this family

Prayers? What have prayers done? Send money. Send food. Send tarps. Take in those who've been displaced.

@@Cthulhu013 We can do both.

@@originallyitsmissmickey Most don't do both is the point. Prayers substitute action. Most people going to social media to say thoughts and prayers aren't doing jack shit. They are typing those words to pat themselves on the back and pretend like they've done something of substance. It's about social credit, rather than truly helping people. Maybe part of it is because these people are truly convinced an imaginary fairy in the sky is going to help others if you pray to it. But I think it's mostly just based on selfishness. The warm feeling like you've done something good, without actually lifting a finger. This is why it's a go-to phrase among politicians. The get to feign like they care and take all the credit, even though they won't actually do anything to help, despite having enormous power to lend aid. I'd rather never see the phrase or idea again. It's a meme at this point. Words from strangers aren't comforting people who have lost loved ones or homes. The comfort these people feel are from true acts of kindness, true substantive aid and words from loved ones.

@@Cthulhu013 I completely understand. But, some people actually mean it. They don't just say "praying for ____" for fun. They actually do it. Like for Ukraine, when people say "Praying for Ukraine right now", they (most of the time, I'm not saying EVERYONE does it) mean it. It's fine if you don't believe in Christianity, but I do, and a lot of other people do. But what I meant by "They could do both." is that they can pray for anyone affected in the storm and they can also donate sleeping bags, money, food, first aid kits, toys, clothes, etc. to them. That's all I have to say right now.

@@originallyitsmissmickey Oh I've been getting on to people about the Ukraine thing too. I notice too often people claiming to support Ukraine, putting the little flag in their twitter bio, only for them to tell me when I ask them in what manner have they supported Ukraine, "Well, I tweeted about it." "Oh, I liked this post on facebook a few days back ..." "I pray for them every night." I just shake my head at them. Every time. They're just saying words. They don't mean it. It's all about social media credit. I can count on one hand the number of people I know personally who has actually done anything substantive for Ukraine. I have a big family of fundamentalist Christians. Hardly any of them have lifted a finger for Ukraine other than to press a like button or a retweet or favorite or to send 'thoughts & prayers'. I'm not suggesting everybody does it. But most probably do, especially if you're reading their comment about it on social media. People that care aren't going to spend much time posting about it online, when they've already done something substantive for a cause. Maybe instead they'd post a link to a charity or an address to send supplies to if they are going to bother. I think we need to end the thoughts and prayers language routine that follows every tragedy, if only to not platform those looking to hijack it for their own narcissism. If you really care, you don't need to do both. You only need to lend a helping hand or wallet. If you're a loved one or friend of those afflicted, reach out privately with thoughts and prayers. If you're a stranger, make that donation. Volunteer. Send supplies. And if you want to send a little note of thoughts and prayers along with all that, fine. It doesn't do anything, but it's harmless. Where it doesn't belong is on social media so that 10k people can retweet it where maybe a handful of them actually show real support.

This is correct. They did not get the main vortex.

Total click bate title. Agree with other comments

Yeah, definite sub-vortex racing as blistering speeds..

I believe it just missed them out of frame. There s no doubt vortex winds hit them and you can hear it passing. This is one of the most awesome video I ve seen. I m glad everyone seems OK and hope the house isn t too badly damaged. Sounds like they have significant damage though. Thanks so much for sharing.

Yeah direct hit by a satellite that thing was cruising!

LOL right, what a good boy that window was..

​@@sniperfoxxx6543Or Girl 😂

Let me guess on Ryan Hall Y'all's channel? I was watching too on there and wow

Thanks for confirming it was real. I was wondering if this video was fake

We had 3 EF2 tornadoes here in Sioux Falls at about 11:00 p.m. on 9/10/19, and some fool only set off some of the sirens. I was watching out my deck door on the top (4th) floor of my apt. bldg., and it was raining so hard I couldn't see anything so I had no idea about the tornadoes, even tho I came to find I was just outside the area of most damage. Here's hoping they've hired a monkey in the meantime who knows to flip ALL the siren switches next time so I and the rest of the residents in this big apt. acomplex will know to head to the underground parking areas!

The sirens are going off from the beginning of the video but the system is much louder than the sirens.

It was definitely a direct hit from what appeared to be a satellite tornado! Around 1:25 mark of the video you can clearly see a tornado slam into the house…that’s when the windows broke. That sucker was FAST!

To your point, I've unfortunately seen much worse posted of more direct hits, or at least, of stronger tornadoes hitting a house.

Satellite or suction vortices did come just to left of driveway and window.

look up clem's tornado if u havent seen it...ive had nightmares that looked like that kinda.

@@mediocrejoker9447 Yes. I've watched that so many times. May be #1 on my list of tornado videos to watch.

@@edennis8578 I watched a video, think it was about 45 minutes, of the derecho. It was frightening.

@@edennis8578 couldnt have been that bad if you were comfortable sittting by a window

Exactly! Never think it’s over. Let the Tornado dictate that.

It's been my experience that once the hail comes and then it clears up, you're out of immediate danger once you see the blue sky appear after the hail.

Yes even when the hail has stopped and seemly calmer, it’s not.

@@thurston4mor right? Remember from Twister? "We're in the core."😯

At least with hurricanes, you have time to be warned and prepare. You don’t get that with Tornadoes, both are still terrifying in their own right.

Na just a tornado that destroyed everything around here. We got lucky.

It was a direct hit @ 1:27 you can see it moving in from the left just before the windows shatter.

Definitely and took the neighbors house out.

Prayers don't do much. If you know what it's like to go through one, then rather than just offering prayers, please do something of substance. Prayers fall on deaf ears. It's like the tree falling in the woods when nobody is around. Does it make a sound? Nobody is around to hear it. And in the case of prayers, even if they were, it doesn't magically improve their lives. We've studied prayer and its efficacy. We know how ineffective it is.

I hate to be that one, but the term in singular is vortex. Plural is "vortices".

It looked like a multi-vortex tornado, that particular vorticity was spinning extremely fast!

It started off as f1 twins then they formed into a big ugly f2 tornado as it hit buildings building debree it hit the scale of f3 to f4 with multiple cycloning vortexs ive only seen that in the documentaries of moore tornado

Most definitely

I am in Arkansas too and have always been terrified of any storms. Dark clouds send me running. I was accidently locked outcin a storm when I was little ( screen door hook caught and locked me out. I remember that I could see my grandmother but couldn't get in..absolutely terrorized!) and I just do not do storms. I do not like to drive in rain and stay home if I can.

They were going off before during and after. The storm was louder than the sirens.

@@mistydew5391 Thanks for clarifying that.

The sirens aren't controlled by the national weather service they are controlled by the county emergency management and they have to get the info from the national weather service and make sure it meets their criteria before activating the sirens. For example my county used to have a policy of activating the sirens if we had a severe thunderstorm warning during a tornado watch. So it's entirely up to the county when and if the sirens are activated. Even then they are outdoor warning sirens and their purpose is to get people who are outside to go inside and seek further information they are not meant to alert people who are already inside.

Gary England was a legend. His coverage of the El Reno storm was incredible; how he coordinated the coverage.

@@Gnomes22 You know, at the time I was not concerned with my safety, but terrified of my house being blown apart. I was a little more fearless back then. ;)

While I'm sure it is implied, however not mentioned, your dog is very grateful for your love and quick thinking (fumble or not).

Glad you made it through. Years ago a similar deal happened near Kinross, Iowa. A woman had just pulled into her garage when the storm hit. She got out of the car but before she could get into the house the walls blew out and the roof collapsed on her. It was really a shock to the community; she was a nurse in a local clinic. RIP.

I think that was just a reflection on the glass of the inside of the house where the camera was sitting. ??

Yes. It did.

O my...it is gone!

No it didn't. The house is still there, the roof is probably gone which is why you can't see it very well but the house is still there. Watch the video again but keep your eye directly on the house across the road. Just before the tornado hits, you will see two red blinking lights, this could be their car alarm going off in the driveway. After the tornado passes you still see those blinking lights momentarily and you can see part of the house.

@@susie.e6428 Are we talking about the same house? Not the one directly across the street...but the one way off on the road in the distance.You can see a car come from that area right before the storm hit.I have watched at least 5 times and I can't see it...it might be misty.

@@sillyworm are you talking about the white small house in the distance. I looked at the video a few times and I can't tell either because of the rain still coming down. Too hard to see through the window.

Well, the whole thing is covered with snow, now. Iowa weather!

SE of DesMoines tracked through winterset and Newton. Was another behind this one in same path a HR later that pulled up and dissipated. At the same time one was tracking from Corydon to Chariton. A few videos popping up today of that storm track.

No it was in the state of bullshit.
