Amazing, scary captures dude! Well done again.

Daniel. A potential thing i would like to see you do if you ever get the chance. If you have a cb. Radio, and you know a tornado is approaching an interstate, turn to channel 19 and warn us truck drivers. We try to keep up with the weather but sometimes a little extra warning would be nice, and trust me we are listening. A storm chaser did this last year and saved my life.rain wrapped tornadoes are scary. I would have driven into it.

That first home you came back to was the home of some dear family friends. My parents live less than half a mile up the hill from them. They were so fortunate to make it through that storm!

You passed by my aunt and uncle's house. They were in the cellar during all of this. My mama lives close by as well. So thankful they were all safe. Prayers for all effected.

THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND IS BACK

Somewhat speechless. You are diligent about storm chasing, reporting, helping, directing, and checking things out for recovery. This was so difficult to watch but I watched and paid attention to what you said as well as what was happening on the roadway and wherever the camera was aimed. My heart is still racing … and broken for the people and town. I had to really think my way through this comment. No wonder I’ve heard others speak so highly of you. Thank you for all you do, for being here and doing what you do! ❤

What an utterly terrifying and gripping storm chase this was. I applaud how you kept yourself centered and talked yourself into moving more cautiously, even though your adrenaline must have been going off the charts. I'm sure the people you helped were grateful, and this just shows how chasing is both gratifying and exciting, yet heartbreaking and saddening when you are faced with people having lost their lives or all their possessions. Great work.❤️

At 17:37 you get a good visual of the tornado separate from the dirt/dust. Good job sir!

This storm was given a preliminary rating of EF3 by NWS Lubbock on 6/24/23. I do not know where all the comments that are saying its EF4 came from. It was never rated EF4 by an official NWS source.

Would have been so terrifying. Well spotted Daniel. It was very eerie how it appeared out of that rain wrapped mess around 16.28 into the video.

I was headed home on Eastbound I-40 from New Mexico that day. It was rather awe inspiring seeing those systems develop as I drove eastward. I could see the overshooting tops from about 120-130 miles away plain as day. I decided to get a hotel in Amarillo and not risk driving g through any of this. After watching the radar I could have probably made it they without get a drop of rain on me, but seeing this makes me glad I played it safe.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to see you put your heart rate somewhere on screen so we can see when you're excited. Love your passion for the hunt and rescue. Keep up the good work.

Thank you Daniel for showing this to the People how it really was. Your focused , precice spotting and repots gave the NWS , who was watching your Stream a Bonus they rapidly, gave a warning to people , at least a few minutes more to survive this Monster. You are have been an important part getting this warning out fast. An intressthing Chase Day that turned into a Nightmare for the poor People of Matador,TX. The Storm evolved so rapidly , the CG barage and the RFD was so massive you could see it will go Tornadic in every Moment. One of this Livestreams i likely will never forget in my Life. This helpless Feeling of watch people lose they Life ,when a Rain wrapped Monster destroys everything and than Hail trys to smash you on top of it. Followed by more Tornadic Storms that cut you off from helping people. Thanks to alle Helpers who have been there. And thinking about all who lost loved ones.

Thank you mr Daniel for everything you do to warn others for safety!! Thank u so much

not only are you hilarous in Hank's videos, you capture some of the most beautiful views of tornadoes perfectly. well done mate

I got emotional when you turned around and went back to Matador asking people if they were ok and all accounted for. Tornados are a wonder and fascinating to see. I hope I never have to experience one first hand.

Kudos to you for your service to the residents and public safety crews of the area. Have a safe trip back home!

Thank you, Daniel for all you do,either chase or search& rescue. We will miss you greatly when you go back home. Safe journeys here or there.

I live up by the Great Lakes and have seen many tornadoes and waterspouts. They are absolutely beautiful. The damage they cause is catastrophic, but they are truly a sight to see. Forecasts say we may see some again tomorrow here.

Great job Daniel! I appreciate the high quality of your videos. Especially enjoy the banter you have with Vince. Excellent job, and thank you for all you do to keep people safe! :)

I have been finding tornadoes fascinating the past few monthes. Have no idea what made me so addicted tothese videos or why other then mother nature is fascinating. Feel bad many have passed and lively hoods destroyed by these but at the same time its a wow moment aswell. Im absolutely terrified when watching things like Final Destination which cause me to panic but somehow I find these relaxing. Might be cause I know that tornados are not dangerous were I live only get rare ones In california which are no where close to me. I have to give people credit who live in the path of these and the devastation even tragedy it could leave behind. You guys are so strong and brave.

Thanks

Fantastic footage Daniel. It was a nasty tornado 🌪. Have a great day, and stay safe my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.

Mr. Shaw, I have been following you for a few months and have been very impressed with your chasing skills and how you cover all that is happening. Thanks for doing such a great job in a very fluid season.

Oh lordy. So much emotion. I was born and raised in Amarillo, the panhandle is my home. I've been gone since 90 but I still watch out for family/friends up there. Matador is such a small place, the amount of damage, just what you saw in this one, was terrifying. That car/tractor/whatever was horrible, the power of these things. Thank you for not only chasing and showing it, but for the methodical and caring you show when it passes. Weird: the one thing I kept coming back to is how green it looks up there, so much rain this year. It's usually a yellow/brown color. Funny how your brain catches things.

That was a dynamic storm, I'm glad you're okay but my heart hurts for those people who lost everything!

Watching it slowly emerge from the rain was absolutely terrifying! Amazing video!

I appreciate all you do Daniel stay safe!

Just discovered your channel - such a great video, and thankful for your reporting. Now a subscriber!

Top notch Daniel. Cheers from Brisbane

Iam in western oklahoma and I watched that storm your an awesome storm chaser and guy keep up the great work and prayers for metador Texas tornado victims

Crazy day and so sad seeing the impact this tornado did. You are awesome for helping out the best you could. God bless.

Thank you so much for what you do!!!

Incredible footage! Job well done on the chase. Love the rear camera in car. Very informative descriptions on all aspects of the Storms & Tornado's. Excellent on warning others & the people you help. Thank you.

Glad you are ok. Looks like lots of damage in a rural area

I have learned so much watching your videos. You are a special man for risking your life to inform and help others. Just a suggestion, have you thought about getting a loud speaker to help you when you are calling out if anyone needs help.

Man, that bolt at 1:11 was a good one

God Bless ya and the work you do

Thank you Daniel

You and Pecos Hank…..superstars

Rain wrapped tornadoes are the most dangerous for locals & towns. Very scary situations, esp when visibility is so low. Very sad to hear that ppl lost their life😢 Great spotting, Dan. You did everything you possibly could given the circumstances.

You have amazing videos

It never ceases to amaze me that people live in these places.

Rain wrapped tornadoes are the most dangerous ones

Great coverage of this dramatic, but sad, Tornado !

I just googled this tornado... 4 people died :(

Good job and good rescue

Wow what u did for those people is outstanding. I would've done the same in that situation. I salute you Daniel.

I really wonder if his car has ever been hit by lightning, or how close he's come to being hit.

Wow. Tornados always look so surreal to me.

Wow! 😳 Honestly very scary! Sincere condolences to the families that lost loved ones. 🙏🕊️❤️

Holy crap, I'm only a few minutes in, and it's crazy to be able to hear the low rumble of the tornado before we can even see it! I have my TV cranked up and I can almost feel it! Can't imagine how exciting and scary it must be to chase these monsters! If I lived in tornado alley, I would totally do one of those storm chase tours!

you and hank have become my favorite spotters to watch ... good stuff

Had 2 tornadoes myself never saw them since they were wrapped around in rain! No warning on the first one! Back in the 60's! Wiped out one of our cars and one injury from glass. Second one walking to work quick build up then the sirens went off got dark! Jack knifed a semi and took out power poles had to step around those got soaked to having to run to nearby storage warehouse first!

Guys please be careful

Reminds me of the 2013 El Reno tornado. Deadly when you can’t make out the structure of the thing.

God bless.stay safe.

Aussie spirit on show!

All i can say is BALLS! Cant wait for 2024... From, Amarillo

That last car wreck was seriously horrendous. I can’t imagine what G forces could cause such a “major sausage” as we Aussies would say. My heart goes out to any community that goes through natural disasters like these

Yeah when I spotted this on the radar, I knew this tornado was gonna be a violent one.

That power. Got hit by rfd about two miles away. Driving away and still in it

I think the Matador TX tornado was a ef4 tornado and the tornado was 10 minutes from my ranch

THANK YOU Daniel for all you do to keep the public warned and safe and your efforts to help and save lives in general. Blessings to you on your journey bk home,,,,, 🙏❤‍🩹🙏

Beautiful. Awful. I've been past Matador on travels through TX. Another day where you were the only bit of light to somebody having Officially The Worst Day of Their Life. Hello from NM. Watch out for all the Enchantment flying around in the air if you visit. XP

I understand what a HUGE hassle it is and extremely complicated, but dude a livestream from you would be insane. I understand your not interested in the "views" or "clicks" because your not that kind of person, but for an armchair weather geek who loves to learn about weather it would be so cool to learn more from you and your conservative, no nonsense approach to hazardous weather.👍

Invisible tornadoes are scary 😨 😳

Thumbs up

Its easy to say more like Storm Chased than Chaser, however, without the options of decent roads, going forward is the only bet. Its not the first vid like this either, and, for it, I think your vids, "weather" intended or not, lends a view of the terror of those caught in the path, rather than the safer bet of hanging behind the rfd and driving to keep up at a safe distance.

Some kind of light in the air, similar to the Rolling Fork car starting roughly at 18:17

This tornado was rated at EF3 not EF4.

You were wise to leave that intersection when you did

always nice to miss a good chase then get caught up later should put a join button on your tube channel so we all get to watch

18:17 you see a little round light in the tornado on the right hand side. It shows up again a few seconds later further to the right, still inside the tornado....it looks like a single headlight? And I can't help but think about that motorcycle Daniel passed by right before going through Matador. :(

Did the people you rescued make it okay? That was chilling to watch, and I'm not sure I could have kept that kind of calm through the entire thing like you did. There definitely would have been some tears coming from me.😅 I love the footage you got, though. Amazing job!

I was trying to count the center shortline marks as you drove..... couldn't count that fast!!! at about 7:40 Had to start counting by 2's :)

Hi Daniel nice footage. Hey could I ask you a question about Hank? Is he done storm chasing for good now or is he just taking a year off or a break or something?

I have a qeastion, do you work with the NOAA as a storm spotter?

Wow

👍👍👍

Do anybody knows what happen the 2 ppls were in the RV?

At 11:17 you are sitting at an intersection with a gas station and an Alsups. Is that in Matador before the tornado hit? I recognize similar pictures of the aftemath and wondered if they were the same.

❤

What are you using for a dashcam?

does your roof rack help with hail hitting your windshield? I've noticed most of your videos don't have broken windshields.

You can barely see it but it's there.

The motorcycle tho!? I swear if you zoom In you see hi, turn around but just keeps getting overtaken with rainy wind :-/

LOST HER IN THE RAIN 😢

At 17:00 that thing decided to start chasing you back. 😂

At first I was surprised that I was hearing Australian voices, then I realized that its totally in-character for Australians to move to the US for the sole purpose of storm chasing

WHAT DOES A TORNADO SMELL LIKE? NOTICED OVER PAST SEVERAL DAY. THEY SAY THEY SMELL TORNADO.

DID YOU SEE HOW IT JUST EMERGED OUT THE RAIN

Completely rain cloaked just like El Reno

Curious, has anyone heard anything from Daniel since he returned to Australia this season? I no longer use Twitter so do not know if he’s active. I’ve followed him for years and just concerned. Hope all is well.

Is this Tornado an EF5? It sure looks and acts like one.

Oh my gosh. I'm so scared as they drive to the storm. Not too bright are you.

Should've been EF-4 but ended up as an EF-3. Guess full well built brick house just doesn't warrant an EF-4 level then?

Rip

And how convenient, they know what time it ends

At the beginning of this video you stated that “despite early warnings the township of Matador was impacted.” Were they supposed to move the town out of the tornadoes path???
