My best friend was recently a victim of the tornadoes in Tennessee on Dec. 11, 2023. She wasn’t hurt, but her aunt was in the ICU for two weeks after being impaled by debris from their garage. I live in a state where we have only had 138 tornadoes since 1950, about 2-3 per year. We’ve only had one F2, and nothing higher than that. So much respect for you and other storm chasers and spotters. Y’all are keeping a lot of people safe by getting out there and reporting danger so that others can get shelter. Thank you for what you do.

the metal visor he made for his windshield to block hail is absolutely BRILLIANT

As a photographer, Daniel is one of the individuals I would love to accompany as he constantly analyzes positions to prioritize safety, visibility and talking through the genesis and documentation of the events. Could get me much closer than I am comfortable navigating myself and could result is some spectacular museum worthy images.

As a Kansas, a Wichitan in fact, I appreciate your channel so much! I'm glad that there is a way for people across the world to see the sort of insanity we get in the region as far as weather goes. **I'm SO GLAD no one perished in this storm.**

The contrast between the clear blue sky on the left and the dark orange in the storm is beautiful.

I love watching the intricate details of the base of thunderstorms! I guess it only happens with T-storms. All the churning and swirling is truly mesmerizing!

Best stormchaser videos around.

Wow---that "gustnado" (around 50 minute mark of video) went from a pretty, benign, leisurely evening viewing object to a full-fledged dangerous oncoming tornado. Amazing encounter!

Yikes! Really glad to hear this chaser paying so much attention to staying safe. Sometimes the chasers scare me.

Excellent work on the edit Daniel! It was such an intense chase, with one of the most memorable photos of the chase season. Well done! 😊

Thank you for all of your selfless efforts Daniel, without the dedicated chasers like yourself who devote their time to the research of these violent winds the people who unfortunately find themselves in the path of these storms would not have the advanced warnings that they now do. It is a fantastic and invaluable service that you and your fellow storm chasers provide. I Salute You and Those like you Sir.

I love this guy's videos. Awesome stuff and accent

LOL, when is Danial Shaw NOT approaching a twisting storm. I chuckle every time I hear that. Daniel is the best chaser out there. 🌪️🌩️🌧️

Some of the most beautiful videography of tornadoes. Epic! I could have watched them all night....oh...wait..I did watch them all night...you got yourself a new subscriber!!

52:50 Man that school bus was going right towards it.

Watching these while you’re “running for your life” it’s astonishing to see school buses and other vehicles driving straight into it 😱

That was some scary stuff.

I'm from Dickinson County, I remember this day 😅 I have a video still saved in my phone of the insane rotation over my house, lord we were so nervous. luckily we were safe. it's nice to see this footage since we were obviously in our storm shelter the whole time. thank you for what you do!

Are you coming to the States for the 2023 storm season? Love your videos and your accent lol!

The "Steve Irwin" of storm chasers. ♥️🙏💪✌️👏👊

A tale as old as storm chasing itself gets distracted "Oh S**t, Oh, s**t!" This is a good example of how quickly a chase can turn bad after a loss of SA, glad you survived as well as the residents of Andover KS. Keep up the good work. Id love to chase one day but its not economically sound for me to do so. I just get to vicariously do it through yall. Thanks!

Say hi ✌ from Germany. Your Chanel is 👍👌. Good wishes 🥰

crazy stuff at 50:00 ... thanks for the video !

My favorite tornado stream of the whole year, thank you Daniel. Everyone is missing out if they don’t subscribe Daniel’s channel. The amount of money he invests coming from Australia is crazy!

Thank you for your caring, and your calm, cool, collected reporting Daniel.

Damn that storm is s beauty. The rotation, structure,... amazing. Terrific lightning shots too 🌩🌪👍

whenever you chasers turn around and run from a storm I always get so anxious for the people who pass you going towards the storm.. I wish you were able to warn them of what they're heading into, but I know that's futile in a situation like that :/ maybe you need a PA on your car lol

That colour in the initial clip is phenomenal... and when the lightning flashes! wow.

I remember this. I live in Sedgwick County in Kansas. My son was walking home from Walmart and the picture he took of the background. You could see three tornadoes forming. It actually hit less the 10 miles from our home. I will never forget this day

I encountered a tornado like this mid afternoon in northern florida. i was driving northeast so it was in front of me or I was approaching the storm from behind?. The reflected sunshine was so orange and bright i thought i had somehow turned around and was driving west instead. I have also encountered that extra golden 'brassy' light from a blue sky in India before a monsoon struck.

You do not approach twisting storm. Twisting storm approach you.

Amazing video! Loved the first part where you recorded the development

Super job, Daniel! Great video. I learned a lot and will show this to my students. Very best,

thanks for posting 4k video most video of tornado's will not make great snapshots for paintings.

This was beautiful footage

Phwoar, that orange sky reminds me of bushfire season here in Aus, the sort of sky where you can’t tell if it’s day or night. I’ve always been fascinated by tornadoes & big storms, interest was sparked as a kid in cyclone season. Used to watch the old “extreme weather” type documentaries of tornado alley, gripped to the edge of my seat both fascinated and terrified of them. Can’t say I’m necessarily tempted to do a tornado tour of duty, although never say never. But for the meantime, finding your channel is enough to get my fix. Stay safe king

OHH MYYYY GOSH!!!! for me this has to be the best storm chaser channel out there. I was so engrossed I felt I was inside the car with you!!! That was breathtaking, beautiful but absolutely terrifying!!! The aftermath was devastating. Its so rare to see a video from start to unfortunate end and be given so much information throughout. I'm in the uk so these are unfamiliar to me. I'd be a stormchaser if we had them here!! Thankyou and hello from ur new subscriber 😁

Amazing footage, I would love to see & hear a tornado, from a distance of course. The raw power of nature, amazing.

I live in Kansas. Near the Missouri border and I've never (thank god( has to deal with a tornado. Wild to think these happen in my state

Around 46:00 minutes in , is that a horizontal vortex sticking out?

A couple of times I thought you were getting way too close to the tornadoes. Very grateful for your work as a storm chaser. Stay safe always Daniel.

You are the David Attenborough of the storm chasing world

That school bus was headed right into that tornado!!

Was reminiscing with my sister today about storms we've experienced. When I was 10 a storm came in from the north. It looked other worldly and felt it too. The clouds were black purple in day time. I've never seen such black thick storm clouds ever since and I'm 57 and it knocked big trees down this was in Bloomington Minnesota approximately 1975. It was such thick clouds it looked like dusk outside which I think it was just before noon

Been watching for a few days and I love how you remain calm when chasing tornados, I have been interested and love tornados ever since I was a kid after I watched Twister, Night of the twisters, and from TV shows that had Reed, Sean, that dude in the giant doppler radar truck (forgot his name), the TIV, etc. Although I never seen a tornado in real life but had the sirens go off multiple times, I seen a lot of severe storms but never tornados, it can happen in my state Wisconsin but more down south than where I am. I am now subscribed and I can't wait for more of these to come out.

Great job editing a huge amount of footage, Daniel!

I'm waiting for the warning voice, to one day say, "You are approa - nevermind, you never fucking listen to me anyways..."

this is quality content. i used to watch him because i love tornadoes. and guess what? i found content like the ones i watched.

Great Coverage I'm a Local Skywarn in Dickinson County and My Hometown is Chapman. I was able to get Footage of that First Tornado at 6:30pm.

I've fallen asleep to this video for a whole month

Always my fav chaser! Thank you Daniel!

That is a great line “Let’s not be under strange”!

Thank you, Daniel! Looking forward to your return next Spring!

Fantastic footage many thanks for sharing 🙏

Tornado : "What are YOU lookin' at?!" Shaw : "You. You're very photogenic!" Tornado : "Then take a picture, it'll last longer." Shaw : "Ok......'clickclickclick." Tornado : "Your ass is MINE!" Shaw : "Shit! Shit! Shit! Ruuuunnnnn!!!!"

I gotta watch these on my big tv and not my tiny cell phone. The colors are so pretty. This storm had lots of fun action. Night Spotting is scary as hell!!!

At 52:50 you are driving like the devil is chasing you and that bus and some cars are just driving in to it like nothing is wrong 😲

I can’t believe how many people were driving right into that storm/tornado, especially the school bus!😱

Crazy the tornado that went by Andover was in my apartment complex just in front

Wow so awesome that day was. What a strange landspout ey? And so long lasting with that color and incredible structure. I was just south of you just before we both almost "got hit" and bailed! Plus the multiple spinups alomg that line were impressive. What a day.

cheers from abilene. i remember this storm

I live in Augusta KS, just to the East of Andover. I remember that day.... love these storms!

Those rapid changes from light to pitch black are insane.

You were not approaching a twisting storm. The twisting storm was approaching you. Thank you forever, Mr. Baron.

That was amazing..who cares if he does it for the money or the science hes worked hard for both. I've seen this man stop the chase to run into destroyed homes and rescue strangers. He goes headfirst into the tornado nobody knows whats gonna happen it couldve sucked them up and spit them out in pieces point is HE DID IT AND HE DESERVES HIS RECOGNITION AND RESPECT. The ones hatin on him are in their shelters scared to death. Salute to Reed and his team. That was awesome and i believe that one day because of you guys we will all be prepared and safer whenever these monsters come to life. Thank you for what you do. Stay safe and be Blessed

So sad all those people lost everything they had. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

The most notable tornado on that day was a very photogenic but intense (EF3) that happened in Andover, the radar had the debris ball (the tornado itself) completely de-attached from the main storm, Reed's drone footage of the tornado shows how intense it really was

Excellent, just excellent!

Wow. What a spectacular vantage point. 😯🙏

wow this is absolutely incredible to watch 😲

That strange "thingy" has a look similar to dust storms we'd get immediately prior to the thunderstorms in SE Tempe, AZ. We had our dairy farm then... 65 years ago.

This is no joke at 18 minutes and 39 seconds you catch a UFO falling straight down out of the clouds and it sweeps to the left and disappears into the ground it comes out of the clouds. I don't think it's a bug or a raindrop because there's no rain dropping at the time and normally there's not bugs around during a storm like that. keep up the good work by the way I love watching your videos. I'm in Abilene Texas so I see a lot of this myself ,but you got some amazing footage.

That is gorgeous, well-defined rotation at the cloud base. Absolutely beautiful.

this is a truly incredible and beautiful chase! great work Daniel!

Saludos compa

51:00 is one of my all time favorite scenes on your channel. I still wonder what happened to all who drove into the tornado as you were escaping. What were they thinking? 🤷

Wow that light and colors are amazing!

I just wish you would provide information about which direction the camera is facing and also the direction you are driving.

To be fair just because you cannot see a tornado in the horizon, it's still best that the early warning broadcast sounds off alerting of such a hazard. Do you really want the alerts going off once the funnel hits the dirt or much much earlier?

The last end of your video looked like what happened eastern part of Andover Kansas.

How dark the clouds are is insane. Literally a night and day change.

My house was directly under that mesocyclone, we pulled all the dogs inside and watched the rotating cloud pass over. Cool experience but scary as well, mainly for Andover which was the first tornado i've seen.

@1:12:13 that wind howling in the back ground sounds terrifying

Excellent chasing guys!

Must of been a rented bus I hope luv watching the storm chasers

Wow beautiful footage as a lifetime Kansan I’ve seen this a couple times and it’s so hard to explain but you saw it all

Hey there Daniel. Just curious, everyone always warns about amateurs, and some people complain about the field of storm chasing not being regulated. Have you and other veterans ever thought about an apprenticeship program, where you each get an amateur or two, and spend a season or two with them, to show them how to be safe and helpful? Like maybe year 1 would be you making the decisions and explaining why, and the second year could be allowing them to make the calls and predictions, while you are there to watch them and make sure they don't do anything stupid.

Daniel I’m from Osage City Kansas and I’ve been a storm spotter and chaser for many years and I would love to meet up with you sometime, you have some great videos but you guys get to excited at times I’ve been in tornado’s and just got beat up respect them very much you just have to watch yourselfs i can really tell when they’re getting ready to shift I see and feel it before it happens, Thanks guys

Beautiful footage and thank you for your efforts love watching your content ❤

@30.10 there's the Mothership coming in Daniel! awesome I can't take my eyes off it!

Did you see at 45:20 how the cloud formation looked EXACTLY like Valcor from The Never Ending Story?

Governing an ungovernable storm , provided a real ground level pounder

Love your camera work

Your accent is really relaxing

God Bless y'all out there!

This man LIVES for torrential rain.

I know that Moore is “ground zero” for tornados, but Andover has to be a close second. I feel like almost every storm outbreak in the plains involves Andover taking a hit or a near miss.

Why in the hell are those vehicles riding into the Tornado?

Cool Tornado and perfekt Clouds

Sub’d. Very nice work.
