It looks different when your right uder it or close ... bc the rain and hail suddenly stops bc the tornado is to strong... that mess sucks ... kind of throws your mind
I feel like I do because I had the most vivid dream once. I was driving and saw one coming ... got out of the car and into a ditch. It seemed so real I still remember it, many years later. It's not on my bucket list , that's for sure!

The one that passed through around the same time in Pelham and Helena and columbiana was on the ground for almost an hour and destroyed most of my in laws family homes. My mom and brother lived on the road too. That’s tornado threw massive old oak trees around like broccoli.

@@susansimpson72 Glad you're safe. It seems that weather in the southeast has become even more favorable for tornado outbreaks especially in Alabama over the last several years. I live in Missouri.
@@rusher1977 thank you & Alabama has always had tornadoes but my ex husband and I noticed some years ago something different. We both felt growing up "years ago" lol Tornadoes were almost unheard of at night but that began to change and it's scary because you can't see them like day time. Weather has just gotten so extreme.

Right after it went over the mountain by highland lakes it went right beside my house a view minutes later in Vandiver. Scariest thing I've ever witnessed! Hope everyone is safe and ok.
This video really demonstrates how little tornadoes care about hills and terrain. There are soo many people that claim their area is safe from tornadoes because they live in a valley etc. You aren't..
@@nunya9555 It didn't break apart at all. It just got harder to discern because of how low to the ground the base of the storm was. Towards the end it was also obscured by wrapping rain bands.
This was less than a mile from my home. This is Double Oak Mountain on Hwy 280 to the S.E. of Birmingham, AL. The Tornado was a long-track Tornado that was on the ground for over 100 miles before continuing for 45+ miles AFTER this footage was recorded, (as of this comment, they're still evaluating the path, but that's the latest estimate). The houses on top of the ridge are very large, multi-million homes. 97 houses were damaged or destroyed along that ridge and in the neighborhood behind it. 1 injury, zero deaths. (As of last released stats). "Tornadoes don't climb mountains" is a myth. They can and do. Remember they are "dragged along" by the weather systems aloft. The terrain may slow the inflow a bit, but on large tornadoes the slowing effect is quickly overcome by the strength of the Tornado.
I lived there near Lee Branch for 4 years, never had a tornado near me. Been following the weather that way ever since I left and this is the first time I can think of in well over 15 years I’ve seen a tornado take that path...unreal...
Great footage.. but that's not a great spot to be in. You're lucky it didn't change direction. Only a few degrees and you would've been part of that violent debris
This person was extremely lucky to find a spot where they could spot the tornado in the southeast because the terrain is heavily wooded. Plus, they're almost always rain wrapped. To end this long, for nothing comment... I wanna say that I work on Opelika, Alabama and the night before all this hit the Birmingham area, I thought one was gonna hit the Auburn era. It was really rough.
Unreal quality to the gloomy atmosphere and the complete absence of wind from your vantage point. Even the RFD seemed to take forever before it hit. Weird storm, cool video.
Looked very strange. Sound was getting louder and louder, wind died out, and then the tornado came across. After it passed the rain hit hard for a bit.
I’m a truck driver and just came right where it passed over 280. I noticed the downed trees and blue tarps on the houses in the valley. I didn’t even know a tornado came through there but I could tell my the damage. What amazes me is that it went up a STEEP incline. From the the damage I assumed it came down the mountain.
There used to be.. it’s odd.. I live just down the road from this but didn’t hear them this year.. someone else commented on that too.. all the years before I used to hear them but not for like a couple years. of course it was all over the news for days.. and if you live in Alabama, during tornado season, you’re watching that radar.
Cool video. My son was in the path of this on hwy 119 it came through Chelsea , Pelham and as it crossed hwy 31 - I can't scream loud enough to express how thankful I am that it lifted off of the ground and sort of hopped over (for lack of a better term at the moment) hwy 31 and interstate 65 by oak mtn. Before touching back down again and crossing hwy 280. My son was at a dentist office on 119 just where it had lifted back up in between the times it was on the ground he said he looked up and it was just passing over him he said the entire sky above was rotating he said seemingly in slow motion at the time.. I'm thankful he lives to tell about it. But my huge problem is WHY WERE NO SIRENS GOING OFF??!!! ZERO ARE HEARD BECAUSE NONE WERE GOING OFF TO EVER BE HEARD TO WARN PEOPLE OF THIS MASSIVE IMMINENT DANGER !! Tax dollars hard at work. There should be working sirens in place within earshot of every road especially a busy and densely populated area such as this! The money and funding has been given to place sirens where they need to be but ??? I couldn't hear any. Could you? Smh
This is my home. This is where I live. No words can describe the amount of damage caused by this supercell thunderstorm. The tornados created destroyed so many iconic local landmarks: my son’s summer camp at oak mountain, His elementary school, the neighborhoods lining 119 heading towards 280, the White House everyone loved that had beautiful dogs and an amazing kennel...I don’t even know if that family is okay. Imagine a beautiful tucked off farmhouse with massive oak trees. Then picture every tree in that yard toppled over and destroyed. There is no dog kennel any longer, heck, I can’t even tell what’s the yard anymore. The animal clinic right beside the elementary school...destroyed. The list of tragedy just goes on and on.
We were in Smith lake for a week and drove through Birmingham the day before this hit. My first time in Alabama and I loved it. I hope all that were affected by this tornado is ok.
Laura Gadille - Because if you're driving through areas with a lot of trees and hills you can't always see them and don't know they're there unless you're listening to the news.
In the immortal words of BLADE...... "some MF's (EF's) always trying to skate up hill!" Seriously that was massive!! Ga had an EF 4!! Stay safe weathers getting crazier!?
It hit about a mile and a half away from me! I was hunkered down in my basement with a hard hat on under a heavy desk and surrounded by pillows and blankets. I did peak out and saw the wind swirling around and the sky turned an eerie greenish (not sure why) before I dunked back down under the desk. All good. The good thing is we knew for about an hour that this was headed our way so had time to plan. The tornadoes usually die down but this one tracked up and down for about 200 miles. All the way into Georgia!
My wife and I had just visited Birmingham a couple weeks ago. My wife has family in Alabama we visited Barber car museum, the vulcan, the Botanical Gardens, went to the Bulls game drove up and down 280 to Lake purdy. So sorry to see all this damage! Thoughts and prayers towards everyone.
I appreciate the good video without putting yourself in terrible danger. Some chasers are getting much too close. We live a few miles from El Reno, Oklahoma. Lessons learned from that storm were harsh

As you can see, hills/mountains mean nothing to a strong tornado.
This is a terrifying fact I just realized watching this video. I suspect where I live right now is going to be in for a bad season this year...
