A lot of this is sped up by 40 percent.

@@RideAcrossTheRiver ah. Even still it looks incredible

Thank you! Lincoln, Greenfield and these are the top ones for me. Hard decision for tornado of the year.

Thank you. I was at El Reno too and that one was just insane

Also i'm really wondering how big the windfield of that tornado was.. (not the El Reno)

@@AverageHelicityPlayer Officially it was 0.97 of a mile ... basically a mile wide.

@@AverageHelicityPlayerI think the f and EF scale are rigged are its just BS beacuse i think is an ef5 now it cahuld be an EF4

​@@Walrus498yeah. Like the Omaha tornado earlier this year. It was recently upgraded to a weak-end of an F4, but that monster had to have been a high-end F4 at least.

Thank you I appreciate that

It definitely was multi vortex at a few points. I am happy you are safe.

So sorry to hear that but happy you are safe

That's what he said!

That sounds wrong, but trust me it’s not what it looks like

I have heard the movie reference a couple times... I need to re-watch it.

True, but everything possesses this duality if you think about it. The sunlight with which we buy our existence at the cost of the entropic death of the universe, merely photons released as a result of fusion of hydrogen into helium, a gold ring being a measly sliver of an element formed in ultramarine supernovae, the breasts on a person merely adipose tissue and mammary glands. A bullet being a hunk of kinetically charged lead. It's all so simple yet all so consequential

You need a Kleenex…?

Yeah it's not just a rotating column of air, they are a rotating column of air, low pressure, when they collect broken glass, trees, cars, boards, roofs, and thousands of various other debris, they are intense and deadly force of atmosphere. They can't be reasoned with or controlled much like a masked killer. Oh and the sound of all of it is rather unsettling.

Yup!

I must agree.

It's definitely on the larger side. Hopefully you were not impacted by it.

No, thank you, I wasn’t. There is a picture of it going right past my brother’s place, missing it.

Definitely rememberable

2024 is full of natural disasters, too much damage

Other than the opening clip yes it is in order as it happened. It was a stovepipe, multi-vortex and a wedge all multiple times.

@@stormchaserjameswilson when you say multi vortices does that mean multiple funnels? I’m a complete novice about these things. We have them in Australia but mostly they are in unpopulated regions.

​@Vovo-zx4ql I'm in WA, and we've had some in residential areas. Bunbury has been hit a couple of times, and Serpentine, just south east of Perth. My brother lives there, and when we went to see him afterwards. Massive trees had been ripped up and thrown about. Serpentine is basically a village, but not one home was destroyed. They were unbelievably lucky.

Definitely

Thank you! I avoided the hail.

I appreciate that thank you! It was definitely a memorable tornado and tornado day with the earlier ones in Nebraska.

Always

Thanks man!

Thank you

It was definitely moving fast

Thank you!

Tornadoes 🌪 can still hit there and have too.

Yes it was only an EF3 though it had a better stronger wedge shape near Minden. Check out my Lincoln tornado video from the same day. I have EF5 Moore video too from 2013

Thank you

Lol I understand that

Yes but in this case I drove out of the town it was going off in.

Siren got wiped out...am from town close by

Definitely did at points

Definitely lol

In this case, luckily most houses were empty at the time.

Just some editing to limit the length. That house only had every minor damage.

Absolutely memorable

It did a lot of damage but they will rebuild.

Sorry to hear the Elkhorn tornado took your home that was a bad one for sure. These were the same day but further east in Iowa.

@@stormchaserjameswilson Thank you. It was a crazy day for sure 🙏

The Elkhorn tornado was another vicious, wild storm

It's really something to see

@@stormchaserjameswilsonyeah

Yes but what a sight 😎

Да, в переулке торнадо все совсем по-другому.

@@stormchaserjameswilson слов нет, каков плов вы наварили из слов. Top на do.

You would think a lot but I have only seen one since I started chasing in 2008. I have not had any issues at all :knockingonwood:

@nmjameswilson good luck to you, because I know I definitely wouldn't have a front bumper & all the other chasers would mysteriously have no back ones

Amazing no it was only an EF3

How big

@@stormchaserjameswilsonupgraded to EF4 just this week by the NWS

@@alexis_ian that was the Elkhorn Nebraska tornado these are the Minden and Harlan Iowa tornadoes

Nice comparison... It looks similar

I don't think TIV was around but I saw the Dominater earlier in the day in Nebraska for the Lincoln and Elkhorn tornadoes

There will still be tornadoes when you get older. 👍

Tornado ally ain’t moving. Tornado ally is a geological area from what I know. However, the occurrence of tornados might become more common the more extreme weather seasons get.

Same here, i'm 14 and I have a growing interest in tornadoes & atmospheric phenomena, I have it on my bucket list and hopefully in the future I can afford to visit tornado alley to do some storm chasing

Thank you

It was just under a mile wide (0.97)

What a monster it was!

I would not want to be in its path that's for sure

@@stormchaserjameswilson yes

EF3

Close but safe 😁

The police had blocked the road behind us there was no traffic coming through. Plus I doubt anybody was dumb enough to drive under the tornado except for us. 🤣

@@stormchaserjameswilson ah, i see. thanks for the info

EF3

It was only an EF3

@@stormchaserjameswilson oh they rate it by its damage it’s done take EL Reno the biggest tornado ever it’s was rated an EF3 the ef scale is messed up

I saw El Reno too and it was definitely a beast! Yes damage determines the rating... Elkhorn was just upgraded to an EF4 yesterday due to damage

@@stormchaserjameswilson yeah

@@stormchaserjameswilsonalso the el Korn tornado flattened 2 homes but they were not well ancerd

After having an internal debate I decided to comment. Saying it's just a rotating column of air is incredibly dismissive of something that can completely destroy neighborhoods, upend peoples lives, and take lives. For those impacted by tornadoes it is so much more.

@@mickeytheredBut it is just a rotating column of air. That is exactly what it is, no more, no less. Acknowledging this simple physical truth, does not in any way diminish the suffering and tragedy of those affected by this meteorological phenomena. Mythologizing it into a force of evil, or anything more than the elemental factors that give rise to a tornado, does not help those affected. It does not help anyone.

Note the video stops as did I.

The victims would have a right to privacy, especially if they just got whacked by a tornado... No need to include search & rescue in a tornado video

What a hateful thing to say....this helps know where it's going

You sound like a short tempered prick, the way you wrote that comment. You could go about it differently. Ask questions next time. Be a little more kind and respectful.

Bet you feel stupid as hell right now
