Drone and ground views of an EF3 tornado moving through the east side of Mount Vernon, Indiana and impacting several commercial facilities on Tuesday, July 9, 2024. Debris fills the air and rains down on the photographer. The storm developed in the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. Mount Vernon is along the Ohio River just west of Evansville, IN.

Thank you Reed! Great work by you and your crew this season, what an insane year it's been!

Yeah. Incredible until the drone came down. That's like leaving the game and taking your ball with you. That was one lucky factory. ;What a mess that'dve been.

The beginning of this video is why the NWS says in its Skywarn storm spotting classes to look at what is going on on the ground and not just in the air. If you were just looking at the base of the clouds you would miss the nearly invisible ground circulation and conclude that it is not on the ground yet. Just because the visible part of the condensation funnel hasn't reached the ground doesn't mean it isn't capable of doing major damage. This is another reason why the NWS says in its warnings "do not wait to see or hear the tornado coming, do not go out and look for it." A major misconception that I personally had to overcome when I became involved in storm spotting, and one I'm sure a lot of people have who haven't seen a tornado, is most tornadoes do not look like the classic Wizard of Oz tornado or even the ones in Twister. The only one I have seen so far was so thin and transparent it looked more like an overgrown dust devil than a tornado. By taking spotter classes and watching videos like this one, I've learned that tornadoes can take all kinds of shapes and are not always easy to recognize that they are tornadoes. I really encourage people to take Skywarn classes, they are free and can be found online as well as in person--and it could save your life. Here in Michigan we've had several instances recently where a tornado spun up, did damage, and dissipated before the NWS could issue a warning--one tragically killed a three-year-old child in Livonia. According to Michigan Storm Chasers, this is not uncommon for our state.

There are so many tornado videos now there aren't many I can watch once and say "instant classic." This is one of those. I haven't yet seen what AI-powered visual effects they came up with for _Twisters_ , but I maintain that Hollywood has nothing on real-life tornadoes.

Especially not with 4K stabilized drone footage... it's incredible the amount of detail captured nowadays. When Twister came out, the only real footage I'd seen was VHS recordings with shaky cam and all the fine resolution of a postage stamp!

Yea, that was a 'strong' cat 1 hurricane. I think they measured 105 wind speed just as it hit. 110 would have been cat 2. Arkansas was under tornado warnings all night. I was in D.C. for Hurricane Floyde a cat 2 that killed 85 in 99' scarry stuff,. I saw one of those big steel newspaper vending machines about 50 pound just take off into the sky landing who knows where. Great video Dan, hope everyone is safe.

I wonder if we would have gotten more/stronger tornadoes if Beryl had been even stronger?

@jtbowman132 Ай бұрын

I would say so. It’s so early in the season for a hurricane of that scale, but also the fact that it traveled as far as it did with the strength that it has is mind boggling. Had it been stronger I feel like there would’ve definitely been more tornadoes if anything
