Many people observed a rainbow with this tornado. Moments after the tornado struck, the sky was blue and sunny.

It’s crazy to see this video, nearly 3 years after that tornado hit. I lived in Madill at the time with my husband and our children. I had just picked them up from the daycare center when the tornado started to form. My husband called me and told me to come to Steel and Wire for shelter. I rushed there, parked my black Tahoe on the scales, and we rushed down in to the shelter that was under that building. It was like a freight train went over the top of us. I remember a truck driver coming in with a wounded hand, pouring blood, and I doctored it for him as best as I could. I worked at Atwood’s at the time too.

That's how you get the best shots. Hank knows what he's doing, he wouldn't be alive if he didn't. But still, he is putting his life on the line. I've watched a bunch of videos from chasers of this afternoon's storms, and some were pretty good. But none come even close to this video. Because the other chasers don't get close and personal with the tornadoes. :-) I use to love watching the late Kelley Williamson. He was like Hank, would drive into the outer circulation of a tornado. Loved his live streams. And no, his death was not storm related. RIP Kelley.

Typically tornadoes will follow in one direction, so if you can gauge which way it's heading, you're safe if you stay perpendicular to the direction it's heading. This isn't always foolproof, however, as we've seen from El Reno. It's rare, but tornadoes can shift path, which has cost weather-chasers their lives. Still, Hank is pretty nuts. I've always wanted to get close to some big tornadoes, but NEVER this close. All it takes is one stray plank, piece of straw or sheet metal to hit you at missile speeds and you're toast.

Believe it or not going inside of that thing the most dangerous thing would be a chance of debris coming through his wind shield .

Also I think for someone with 21 years of storm chasing experience , Hank knows way more about what he is doing than you do so with no respect stfu .

My dad worked at that OK Steel and Wire building for 13 years when we lived in Ardmore. It is incredible to see you so close to it and capture how something stationary for so long can be destroyed within a couple seconds. Also, all that gray stuff coming off the warehouse roof, is just years and years of accumulated dust 😂

''About 5 p.m. CDT Wednesday, two people were killed when a tornado struck the town of Madill, Oklahoma. One person was critically injured. One of the people killed was a worker at a J&I Manufacturing Inc. facility, Marshall County Emergency Management Director Robert Chaney said. His body was found a quarter of a mile away, The Associated Press reported. The second person, Chad L. Weyant, 46, died after his car was hit by the tornado, KOCO reported, citing the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Madill, a town of about 3,800 residents, is located 100 miles southeast of Oklahoma City, near the Texas border.'' TWC. RIP

Same here. I don't know much about tornadoes cause fortunately we don't have them where I live. But one thing I do know is that they can turn on you when your least expecting it. They change direction very quickly. That's what makes them so scary. You don't know if you running towards or away from them.

As crazy as that scene/experience was, I love the way you kept your wits about yourself remained quiet and when you did have something to say, you did so calmly. Once Reed gets in his yelling and screaming mode, it does become a bit annoying. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great chaser, just nice to a balance of chasers to choose from. If I want out of his mind screaming any yelling, there’s Reed, if I want persistent chaser who takes a lot of chances and drives like a bat outta hell, then Vince is a great chaser😊
