Insane video: Tornado hits wind farm- Captured by drone in 4k
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 พ.ค. 2022
- Drone video of a dusty tornado near Crowell, Tx on May 4th, 2022. A supercell thunderstorm produced many tornadoes during the afternoon. As it was crossing the highway, the drone was able to capture the vorticies dancing before going across a field then exploding on a dirt field. It kicked up a huge dust cloud and hit a wind farm.

Stormchasing has really come into its own the last several years. The shear number of stormchasers out there now, the quality of the ground and aerial videography, radar applications, and "collaboration" sites such as Ryan Hall, Y'all, have really increased the awareness and quality of the information being distributed out to the public. No more does the public solely have to rely on the NWS for their information about potential weather threats. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks to the internet......
I blame the Discovery Channel.
NWS & local stations are often late to the party
*sheer
the weather channel even let's you know if the chasers are experienced.. well if they are in fact experienced.
Its really interesting to see a tornado from such a great angle. Especially when you correlate it with other videos from the ground (about 0:43 i believe that is Pecos Hank coming into view following the tornado).
I'm sure it is
Yeh it is!
its def. him. Here is his perspective: th-cam.com/video/e-C0UFEe_ec/w-d-xo.html
Ahhh! I love him ! He’s cool
That’s totally @PecosHank
How ironic that the tornado hit a wind farm. Those turbines didn't seem too bothered by the tornado which is a very good thing since a piece of one of those monsters coming down on anything would crush it for sure. Great footage.
Those monsters should have never been put up in the first place, leave the farm ground alone that’s what feeds the world.
And those monsters obviously aren't made to take advantage of a good wind. Ugly, inefficient, nonrecyclable, toxic material eyesore.
Great video, though.
@@wjcj1234 as good as things like wind, soar, and hydroelectric are, i still feel that we should go to nuclear. safety measures have come a long way, and those plants are such powerhouses that they need a relatively tiny amount of space compared to things like solar, and ironically it makes them the most environmentally friendly
The Landowner will be well compensated for many years to come. Trust me I know because I'm one of them.
We need this energy. Cheers to the landowners for making appropriate use of what used to be “dust bowl land”. You can’t grow crop’s without water and you can’t get water there without power …. So….
I'm stunned that you can fly a drone that close to a tornado without losing it.
Just realized how big those wind turbines are. That's a massive tornado and it didn't even move it
That tornado is actually tiny compared to some of the monsters that would have wiped out that wind farm. Get a mile wide F5 and goodbye giant pinwheels.
Very cool drone shot!!
Thank you sir!
These drones are amazing for capturing tornadoes. Did you see the drone footage of the EF-3 Andover Tornado from last week? It was freaking surreal to watch.
@@nicholaswidlewski8876 Reed Timmer's iconic drone footage of the Andover, KS, EF-3 will be studied for decades to come.
After watching Pecos Hank's video of this event I think that may be Pecos himself in the car in the lower right corner at 00:46
Spectacular! This was an epic video. You all are getting such great footage with drones, it brings a whole new dimension to storm chasing. Be safe out there!
Brandon Clement that was an Epic drone coverage..Caught the beauty of it from the colors, to the lightening to the recycling...Awesome footage..
Thank you Suzanne!
So cool how the turbines weren't even turning when the dirt nado went by. Thanks for the video
Seems like the moral to the story is, if you're going to live in tornado alley, live in one of those large turbines. They didn't even seem to loose electrical power as the light on top continued to blink.
They have brakes in them that activate when the wind gets too strong, that's why. It takes a pretty strong tornado to overcome the brakes or damage the blades, I believe they can handle up to 130 mph or so.
@@skylancer-zer0205 Perfect. I'm sure my homeowners association won't have any issues with me installing one on my lot and when it's not generating electricity for my house, I can use it as a tornado shelter. 🙂
@@skylancer-zer0205 lol no just a freeze to stop them. Lol
@@lisaburns5640 ugh, it was your crappy natural gas and coal plants that froze up due to corporate negligence of the companies that ran them. Wind turbines operate all over the world in conditions much colder than you had in texas once - it's not an issue.
4:02 WOW did you see that?! dam and 4:50 the Q beam highlighting the dirt, thats an amazing shot. im tripping man, this is someREALLY great cinematography here, especially flying over the power lines coming down on the flashers with the tornado on the left.. REALLY nice.. dam
It's crazy how destructive they can be to us but seem so graceful and peaceful when viewed from above. Perspective really does make all the difference in this world
WOW ! That's mind-blowing !!! That lightning strike on 0:34 is astonishing as well ! 😲 This and Reed Timmer's drone footage is revolutionary and SO gigantic !!!!!!!! Thank you very much for showing !
Clement caught beautiful footage from the air, and Timmer got ridiculously close to its initial spinup before it crossed the hwy, plus all the other chasers that caught this photogenic dustmonster; seeing tornado genesis from different perspectives when all that dust is perfectly showing off the wind movement is fascinating. Thank you for posting!
And that's Pecos Hank at 6:50 turning around and chasing after it on the highway. I just saw his footage and recognized the lightning strike after it hit the turbine. I'm guessing the majority of those cars are all chasers.
At 8:05 you can see a second funnel develop on the opposite side of the wall cloud. It shows for about 18 seconds before the shot is cut.
Pause it at 6:53, there is a smaller tornado farther back to the left as well.
In that area, there aren't many places for a tornado to come down and not be in a wind farm. Loved this video.
You can see Pecos Hank at the bottom right of the frame @00:49! It's very neat to compare the angles of his video with these drone shots.
I thought that was him!
Hank fans woooo
This is great, I am speechless ...How sharp that drone footage is 😯The quality is super! 👍
This is amazing! I saw Hank's video yesterday and now we can see him chasing from the air, both footages are mesmerizing, but the air perspective adds a lot on how the tornado interacts with the ground. Icredible foodage!
Is that Pecos' car at the bottom right?
@@rudaje2000 Yeah, I'm almost sure.
@Black Toof I know, but he got an amazing ground footage of this same event too. I was noting that he was perfectly framed along the tornado, so you could make a split screen with both footages. Just noting the coincidence, nothing else because many of us that love these kind of videos know Pecos.
This perspective from the air is really incredible and the best I've seen so far both in quality and proximity.
Beautiful footage. What drone were you using to video this?
Amazing. Drone footage is changing the landscape of storm chasing. Allowing closeups of tornadoes where no human could safely go
Beats the hand held crappy dizzying cameras that the ground chasers use.
is it me or is the documentation of tornadoes this year bananas?? Really great footage popping up everywhere
That is amazing how it faded out then regenerated. Worried about the people driving though.
I saw a couple of their videos live last night and one storm chaser was quite literally a few feet from where that tornado began. It was insane. I'm hoping he posts the footage.
I was there & it directly went over our vehicle, it just violently shook the vehicle, wasn't that worried because it was out of now where & not much of hazards debris flying around, minutes later though it tossed a truck over a house in Lockett, TX
@@XA0zzzz THat's insane. I'm glad yall are ok.
@Patricia Nelson, yea I liked how it was almost like, "Hmm so these puny things have constructed a wind farm over there, well I think I'll just take a stroll through and have a look at it...", lol. I'm glad no one was hurt. At first I wondered if it might damage the wind mills and send debris out at vehicles if it didn't actually head towards vehicles. Of course @X said they were there and it went over their vehicle and later tossed a truck over a house in Lockett TX. Thankfully I've never had that kind of encounter. We did have one tornado, 137mph winds come through here a few yrs ago. It stopped a mile from my house. I never saw the funnel just the spinning clouds above, the sound of the wind that you never forget and of course damage occurring in the distance.
For lack of better terminology, I did see a "ghost tornado" come from that thing down the street perpendicular to us. It was carrying some dust and debris about 50 ft? up... I said "No it's got to go..." and thankfully it just vanished and dropped the debris. It looked like a war zone at the entrance/exits of the neighborhood. We have multiple tho so we could still get in/out. We were out of power and everything else about a week. Some precious souls from churches etc., were coming out to the neighborhood bringing food, water etc., which I told them we were good best to give to neighbors that have kids...
The crazy thing is, it had been nearly 100 yrs since a tornado like that was in this area about 10 miles from that one. This particular storm traveled nearly 50 miles "picking up the funnel" & setting it back down... One person died unbelievably, when he was driving and a tree came down on his car yet two rear seat passengers were unharmed. It's just crazy how some things happen.
Tornado generates some wind for the wind farm while getting chased by tornado chasers and a drone... with lighting bolts in the background for dramatic effect. Epic video. Just needs an amazing guitar solo to top it off.
When you see Pecos Hank's car following right along. Epic.
What kind of drone did you use? Very impressive to handle the winds that close to the tornado.
Best Tornado Footage of 2022 ! But also shows how dangerously close people with flashy lights go, to get Viral Attention on social media. Flying a Drone like a pro is Masterclass
U obviously haven't watched the Andover ks video
No doubt the Andover has some good footage
Ground videos are worthless compared to drone videos. The high vacuum vortexes causing white cloud condensation are amazing! Thank you WX.
Thank you Robert!
Those were amazing shots! Talk about right time, right place!
Yeah perfect place for it to hit since you know the manipulates use all of them weather with them if you will just saying 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😊🥳🥳🥳😁😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@themoon-cy7rq how old are you
This is a trap
@@hypercane2023 um nothing to see um 5000 and a half How old are you 😳
Absolutely stunning video. My first time seeing drone footage
Direct hit by a tornado and the windmills are virtually unscathed. That's some engineering.
That's because it F0
At 6:53, looks like a tornado to the left in the background, and the monster at the wind turbines. Awesome footage!
I noticed that as well - it does look like another one.
6:27 Onward: Is that a little gustnado in the background, or was there a satellite tornado forming?
“6:58”
That last car on the very bottom right that’s turning off is Pecos Hank.
Love the swirling patterns in the field at the base of the tornado
Marvelous Brandon.
Thank you for catching the chaser vehicles in the angle! Gives me a much better idea of just how big that thing was!
MY MIND IS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN!! Great footage! Now this is STORM CHASING! WOOOHHOO
Impressive how strong the wind generators are to withstand a direct hit by the funnel.
I believe it was more like what we call a dust devil.
Probably F0
They won't stand up to an F2 or stronger. That was more like a strong dust devil.
This is a perfect video to show when someone argues about how "you can always see a tornado" and conveniently forget it's invisible till it has picked up dirt/debris or that water vapor/condensation funnel drops down
Pecos Hank is a storm chasing legend and a good soul.
FANTASTIC footage!!! Good job!
Right at 4:25 something hit the drone. It recovered well. Amazing drone. Wow!!
That’s @pecoshank turning around at 7:12 in the “Windbreaker.” Amazing video!!
What about 0:47
This video shows the testimony of great engineering not once failed amazing even I am amazed
Was a weak twister. An F3 and those Eagle killers won't look so unphased
@@joelstapleton4033 you have said something to me that I've never thought of or seen you have stated eagle killers. I've worked around these windmills and I have seen which tail eagles flying not through them but around them and I've never seen one hurt yet can you please tell me your story
They didn’t move even with all that wind. Aren’t they supposed to turn when the wind hits them so that they can charge their cell phones?
@@scottdetter actually quite a few are turned off when the power is not needed and they do not spin
Nice to see someone who can actually fly a drone close to a tornado.
There were other swirling column of dust in the background. Don't know if they were more tornadoes. You can start to see them at 6:20
Nothing this epic ever came out of Hollywood!
I have to say this is probably some of the best footage I have ever seen of a tornado love this video thank you so much
tornado: hits wind farm the farmer: UNLIMITED POWER!!!!
Great, smooth flying Brandon!
At first it looked like a dustdevil but the side view killed that theory real quick. You can see the multiple vortices real well at that angle.
That's what I thought
mutlivortex tornados are super interesting
Too big for a reasonable dust devil. Your first next thing to think about should be a landspout, which is a lot like a dust devil in the way it forms, developing upward from a heated ground. But larger and connected to a larger updraft associated with a Cumulus or Cumulonimbus cloud that does not have to rotate, but stretches the rotation from the ground further into the sky.
However, this one here was a real mesocyclonic tornado. You can clearly see the storm cloud above it rotate at the moments when it's visible. And the description under the video clearly tells us as well that it was a supercell.
most beautiful video of a tornado I have ever seen
Just amazing! This opens up a whole new era for meteorology!
haha LOL 10:25 Hank ! With the Windbreaker
Amazing footage! You can see Pecos Hank down there following it in the lower right corner at 6:54
Pretty weak tornado when passing thru the wind farm region (maybe it got stronger later on), but at 6:20 mark you can see there were three tornados stirring dust from the ground. Good footage captured.
ABSOLUTELY aamazing footage
Not an 'insane video', just a good shot of wind turbines surviving a direct hit. Good stuff. They're strong and resilient!
This wouldn’t be considered a dust devil? There’s barely any wind, it appears.
Edit: I’m an idiot. I watched Pecos Hank’s video of this and yeah, it’s a tornado. That dirt/dust had me fooled.
Never mind the tornado --- that *lightning* is terrifying!
It looks like a dust devil rather than a tornado.
LOVE the drone footage with dead silence! Decadent👍
Incredible. One critique that goes for almost every tornado video captured ever… Please tilt up to see the air column up to the base of the storm to help the viewer understand the full scope and massive scale of these incredible forces of nature. The ground contact is cool, but tilting up, even briefly, would help people understand that oftentimes it can be a half a mile to a mile from the ground to the storm’s base.
Awesome video.
Drone tornado footage is amazing. It looks great
I didn't realize a tornado had two structures. First there's the obvious funnel which is hard to miss, but what I noticed on the footage is that there's a large swirling cloud that extends from the base of the funnel on the ground.
I think that cloud is what tricks a viewer on the ground into assuming a tornado is closer than it is, since the structure extended quite a bit from the actual funnel and that could easily cause them to misjudge how incredibly huge the storm actually is.
It's cool to be able to see these things close enough to make out details yet distant enough that the flying debris doesn't endanger the camera or obscure it.
Thank you to the author for generating this incredible footage.
I hope this kind of thing becomes more commonplace and we can glean more insight about such extreme weather.
how bout those wind turbines.....doesn't appear to have even harmed them at all!!
No its only the freeze that gets them. Baaahaaaa
0:28 Somewhere down there, Pecos Hank is running from the tornado
yes funni hank
This footage is better than any Scifi movie with a 300+ million dollar budget could ever produce... epic shots ..epic storm! Thank you.
That video is so incredible it almost looks like a video game
I just read online wind turbines can take 100 mi to 140 mph winds so that's like an EF1 to EF2 tornado anything stronger they probably would be destroyed thank you.
Those wind turbines held up to that tornado like a boss
So they grew that tornado on a farm? Amazing what modern farming can do.
WoW WoW WoW. That Was Amazing.! Some of the best footage I have ever seen. Sooo Great Job. Thank You Very Much. Try to stay safe.
Thanks, very good video ! 👍👍👍👍👍
7:00 that’s Pecos Hank in the black car turning around! He has some really close footage!
What about 0:47
Amazing footage.
So you going to ignore the fact that that tornado literally just went over live cars over a freeway? 😂😂
Nice work, lighting is reminiscent of J.M.W. Turner paintings.
We have Dust Devils bigger/more intense than that thing here in southeastern NM.
Hey look! There is Pecos hank turning around to chase the tornado!
6:20: A gustnado or possible other tornado is blatant behind the focus tornado on the right side of the screen. And yes, I consider it maybe being dust from a moving vehicle, however it is morphing in shape too fast to be that.
Edit: Totally two gustnadoes.
Spectacular! This was an epic video.
We should design houses in the shape of a wind mill
This is a example of whats called the ghost train of a tornado, a river of air that pretty much all tornadoes have, its that river of dust that is flowing into it.
Beautiful red dirt tornado 🌪
0:25 you can see Pecos Hanks' car turn around on the far right. He recently made a video showcasing how close it got to him.
the white truck is from the NWS and are studying this whirl wind vortex to compare the similarities between them and tornadoes. the other cars think that it's a tornado because the NWS truck is following the vortex.
Drone footage gets better and better. This may be--no, IT IS--the best drone tornado footage ever. You ought to market it to the windmill manufacturers, because that's something they need to show any skeptical buyers concerned with a turbine's durability.
This storm is really well documented! There are a lot of videos of it (although this one is the best). I hope some of you can piece together your footage, because you have it from all angles. Is that another funnel starting up in the background at 6:20?
What's the over-under that the vehicle driving into frame at bottom 1:45 (or better yet, doing a 3-point 180 at 6:59) is Pecos Hank?
EDIT: having rewatched Pecos Hank's video, I'm 98% sure that's him doing the 3-point turn and passing vehicle parked on grass shoulder (7:10) pointed the opposite direction.
This is even better when you notice hanks car chasing it on the right
Nice shots! It couldn’t have been too bad. It didn’t even leave a mark on the ground, which is preferable. It’s scary how they can almost be invisible if there’s no dirt to pick up. Creepy! It looked like it was dancing when it picked back up again. They are beautiful and devastating all at the same time!
Yes, they can be weak like this one and get violent really fast too. The unpredictable nature of tornadoes also makes them fascinating.
who was the researcher guy from one of Pecos Hank's vids that was like "if you have very close, very high definition footage of tornadoes, send them my way." lololol, he needs to see this vid.
0:48 i think thats pecos hank on the road at the bottom right of the screen
The colors are magnificent like something out of another planet
Pecos Hank documented this tornado from an epic angle as well
I’ve seen the damage that a tornado can do on a wind farm in the past.
The first time was back in 2012 where a tornado destroyed a wind turbine in Kansas, earlier this year near Austin and then again yesterday in Texas.
The tornado here must’ve been relatively weak because no visible damage was done from what I can tell.
To bad there ain't enough tornados to wipe out all the wind farms and put a end to that one and for all
@@urbanhesse6084 Let us be honest: if The Deep Freeze did not rattle public confidence in the new, fragile power generation scheme, nothing will.
@@urbanhesse6084 wtf wind farms are awesome
It's a great drone, the video almost looks fake like you're on a miniature railroad with woodland scenery. Now seeing from up high the full-scale of the monster they can be and the power they can master!
I watched this same video footage from Vince Waelti that was on the road. (lower right corner?)
Excellent footage Brandon!!
Nah, that was Pecos Hank’s car
Amazing shot well done. Lots of useful info in there.
a tornado at a windfarm sounded more convenient on paper
