Thank God my grandma and uncle survived this tornado. ❤
✝️😔🛐
God could not send a tornado her way next time 😂
That's a real beast.
It is
.... omg
Beast is an understatement for a storm that massive. This is an EF5 very likely.
@@StormChaserMaci.Very likely that it's not an ef5 but an f5
@@StormChaserMaci. Size doesn't matter it's the winds and damages caused by the tornado that can earn the rating not the size
@@Shaquille_Oatmeal007 Tell me of one tornado that hasn't been ranked a 5 being that massive other than El Reno.
That is probably 2 miles wide. Incredible. I hope everyone in its path survived. Prayers to them.
No. Probably a half mile wide.
@@derrickrr5516 It only looked a couple of inches on my phone.
@@derrickrr5516yeah Id say a half a mile there have been ones that were alot wider and deadlier I think the record wedge tornado was 2.6 miles wide which is absolutely insane
This thing went right past my town and it was the biggest I’ve ever seen
1 miles max i will say .Ef4 max of damages as i see on social media & journalist report.Check the Monster of the day near Bennington,Ne.
Remember, if a tornado doesn’t look like it’s moving that means it’s heading towards you. 🌪️
or getting away from you
*if its not moving left or right
Or you put the video on pause
@@karel_de_lille if it's not moving left or right. Don't take the gamble. Get out of there
npc comment
"Imagine being in the tornado."
I'd rather not, thanks.
Brett Adair and Ryan Hall did an amazing job tonight..saved many lives..thanks to all the other storm chasers..Becca M
So we just start making names up now. A wedge tornado? Just say a f5 since they are classified by wind speed .
You just don't know what you are talking about. Tornadoes have been decribed by these terms for decades. Yes, there is a wedge tornado. Anybody with an ounce of knowledge about tornadoes know this simple little fact. @rickd6434
@@rickd6434actually a wedge tornado is an official term when a tornado wider than it is tall, and everything is classified by damage mostly not wind speed. For example the El Reno tornado was 2.6 miles wide and had winds over 300 mph but it’s ef3. Also Ryan hall yall is a weather streamer.
@@rickd6434everything you said in that entire statement is false lol. A wedge tornado is a type of tornado typically a pretty severe one and tornadoes are classified by damage done not wind speeds that’s a hurricane
@@rickd6434 Homie learn something please before talking and outing yourself as a fool haha.
Guy in black SUV: I must run to the danger!!!
The SUV has Texas plates, kind of obvious.
@@jamespyle777wow, not a very nice thing to say about Texans.
“None shall pass!!”
Now I wanna listen to Kenny Loggins lol
@pegasus5287 no, no, he's got a point, speaking from a fellow texan.
In Australia we might have spicy animals, but you've got the spicy weather.
We had 70 tornadoes in a 3 hour radius today
You can have all of them. Rattlesnakes are bad enough.
Spicy women too! 😂😂
@@Trapphausmusicyikes! Unbelievable
Seems like a fair trade off. You've got a deal. 😂
There are multiple vortices that have come out of this and other monstrosities as they rumble across this state. Glad to be in eastern Iowa today.
is this the only time in history to be glad to be in eastern iowa?
@@uuuultra As a matter of fact, no, but within the past 25 years, yes.
Yeah, eastern iowa isn't the place to be during this time of year. Mini tornado alley.
This comment will forever live in my mind rent free 😂
Saw this on Ryan Hall's live stream. That tornado was a beast!
RH is a grifter for climate change & fearmongering.
I'm in Iowa every weekend trucking. I went to Ohio today. Thank goodness I missed this
Seeing this tornado made me glad I ran out of hours at a shipper in Misery (Missouri).
You're not missing it. You're just seeing it a couple days later.
Glad you were safe 🙏🏿. Shits frightening
Major shoutout to storm chaser Freddy McKinney, this guy risked it all for the safety of others, this is his live stream.
This the same tornado cell that started in Lincoln. Hit Waverly in East Lincoln, became a wedge tornado, then hit Elkhorn in West Omaha and Blair in Nebraska. Lots of damage.
i hope Quady is alright 😟
My aunt is in Blair. She said she lost a window but the neighbor house is half gone. They go so lucky
Wait, is this the same tornado that hit Minden too then?
God bless all of you involved. May the Christ Light shine apond Ya'll.
AMEN
No it's not.. clearly you weren't watching the Livestream, and if you were, you weren't paying attention to the radar and locations.
The tornado that Brett was chasing (this tornado) happened near Minden, Iowa.
The tornado you are thinking of took place before this one on a different cell northwest of the cell that produced this one.
I expected to see the SUV in front just get elevated off the road and into the twister and start spinning around. It's amazing to see it, then to see the line of cars that keep driving right to it. I'd be going in the opposite direction as fast as I could. LOL
well tornadoes are pretty concentrated and if you can see it moving means it isn't going away, and more importantly, coming towards you so when looking out on your surroundings it's pretty safe to do if you know what you are doing
"This thing in front of you is a tornado"
Thanks I would've never guessed.
Lol
I was waiting for him to take a breath. He has a mortal fear of "dead air".
Many people may have a limited vision of a funnel cloud being the epitome of a tornado . There is nothing wrong with what he said.
@@mizzury54 yes there is 💀💀
😂😂😂
Massive Tornado but that El Reno tornado 11 years ago man that one was a pure beast I still remember it like yesterday.
i was thinking the same, there are estimates that at it's peak this tornado was 2 or so miles wide and i'm wondering if it's like the el reno one where almost the entire mesocyclone came down ?
That El Reno. Is back (last seen in may 31 2013)
This tornado barely missed my parents outside of defiance! But It hit the farm a mile east of their property!
I hope everyone is alright. Glad your parents were not hit. So sad to love one's home.
What matters is you and your parents are safe. This storm is very likely an EF5.
So glad your parents are okay!! ❤🙏🏻
Praying for everyone in the path of this tornado🙏🙏🙏
Always
Praying does nothing, how about getting out of there
@@Slick-vo9hp that's common sense
@@FUCKINGENIOUS it sure is
Praying? To the god who sat on his lazy rear while a demon wind scoured the earth? Why?
This same tornado wiped out the entire town of Minden, IA half an hour from where I live. This is the same tornado that missed our house by half a mile in Harlan, IA. Truly an experience I'll never forget.
Wow ! I've seen a lot of tornado footage, and this is one of the largest I think I may have seen. Just a monster !
It's definitely a big boy but you should see videos of the El Reno tornado. Both of them, actually. Just completely other worldly, especially in size
@@deathbloom27 Yeah I've seen the El Reno one, another monster, and today there was another huge wedge twister in Knox City, Texas.
Tomorrow is an outbreak threat for central and eastern Missouri. They claim today's tornadic weather that took place out west and southwest of here, and usually weakins before it gets to central and eastern Missouri, will still be as dangerous as it was today. So tomorrow will be eyes to the skies and stay hopeful that the system breaks down.
Best of luck to everyone, fingers crossed. 🤞
I have a feeling this won't be like previous years taking how the weather in some places has changed so much this year.
How young are you that you have never seen one of these before. These happen every few years since the beginning of time, and they are an awesome spectacular display of nature's power.
yep... and... the earth if flat and the center of the universe.. JFC... it is all a hoax.. got more corn bread ?
I guess he has never heard of TH-cam?
reminds back when that tornado hit moore Ok
it was sooooo big to look at coming your way that it didnt even look like a tornado until it was too late and already on you.
Very similar looking
I had immediate flashbacks myself to 2013 seeing this. This is an absolute monster storm.
Prayers goes out to everybody who was affected by the storms from day1-4+
That thing looks like the El Reno one resurrected. Wow.
Or Jarrell. Those are two tornados that defy description
@@spiralrose jarrel was brutal the power and near lack of movement seemed sinister, deliberate, and precise. Along with causing 27 deaths and zero injuries and the reaper photo. It wasn’t this wide and less than half the width of El Reno though
Hearing now 9 hours later the NWS may be giving this one the rank of EF5. Not kidding. That would make this storm the first one in 11 years.
@@StormChaserMaci. I was thinking this one had to be the one when I saw it live. They really talking about that already without a full damage survey?
@@StormChaserMaci. You so quickly wanted to rate this an EF5 lol after a few hours because it was "so big" nah it was an ef3.
God bless America. One hello from Brazil.
Hello from America
@@FUCKINGENIOUS Brazil is in America too.
@@Shadow__133 In this context it's the country, not the continents. OP was correct to say America.
Thank you for being so kind. God bless Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you, Brazil❤️.
We lived through the F5 in OKC 2014, it was just a wall it was so big. I've always lived in tornado alley but it still amazes me the intensity of those storms.
Wow sending you nothing but hugs and prayers and best wishes from California...Hoping you all r ok
Dude is the John Madden of weather. Graphics everywhere.
He was way to excited. 😅
Amazing job by Ryan Hall, all the storm chasers, and the SPC, several tornado emergencies that were properly warned and covered. Countless lives saved.
Just wow - hope everyone that was in the path of this monster tornado are okay and made it through, prayers go out to them! 🙏🏼❤️👍🏼
I did not even know I had FOX weather on my streaming service. I was very grateful to have it when this happened. It was an extremely scary.
What a serious tornado
bro got a serious attitude problem 🤣
As opposed to a comedic tornado
@LordSnow-ll5kv or as opposed to the skinny, F1's that aren't that crazy at all 🤷♀️ Just sayin' 🤭
goku solos the tornado
I can't get over the cars driving right into the tornado.
Most were chasers!
That’s the job! These people chase these things. Crazy job.
God bless and THANK YOU to the meteorologists who put themselves in danger and report on these storms, often arriving even BEFORE the "first" responders and emergency personnel arrive. Thank you for your selfless service.
Whoa! 😱 Mother Nature's power on full display in Iowa! 🌪
Driving as close to that tornado as he did. Got balls and courage. Not at all stupid. I think people who chase tornados are just doing what they love to do. Great footage.
What do you tell your Insurance company when your vehicle gets toasted by hail and debris? We do get some great video from these chasers though.
Prayers for everyone involved.
I was driving from Nashville to Central Illinois when I witnessed massive tornado , like this, from a distance. Thank goodness. 😅
Holy Moly! That’s a huge tornado 😱‼️ I hope everyone’s ok.
Scary Day for Iowa and Nebraska! Less than 30 miles from me. (In Iowa) Over 8 Tornados on the ground at the same time. (Different areas of the state.)
So devastating. Round 2 tomorrow! The news and weather are already forecasting another STRONG storm in this same line tomorrow. 😢 I am not ready for this again.
God protect the people that are part of this situation.
Judgment.
i’m in iowa
help
This is insane. Imagine thinking your god made the tornado but you're praying for it to protect the people out put in harms way
why did you edit your comment?
Prayers for all who were affected by this 🙏❤
Nothing like the 2.5 mile wide tornado of 2013. Rest in Peace Tim and crew
what a tornado so wide.... oh my goodness.😮
Thanks to all of the chasers for keeping us safe and aware yesterday.
They're going to be busy again today.
I live In harlan and was tracking this storm from Shelby Iowa southwest of Harlan this thing grew so fast
This reminds of that tornado from 1999 that hit Oklahoma, the most powerful one ever recorded.
It’s reminds me of the Greensburg Kansas one
2013 El reno was largest one
So... I'm not the only one getting those flashbacks seeing this.
"The Finger of God"... 🌪️
More like the whole fist of God.
I'm convinced just by looking at this tornado is an EF5 on every level.
The handiwork of climate engineering, actually.
I always thought it was the thunder of God when watching twister movie but turn out they been saying the finger of God but still I understand that reference
Geo engineered... Wake up
We had a sketchy day in eastern Iowa early this week. Right overhead the clouds were black, low and moving in all different directions. Thankfully they moved through without incident, but was scary to see how easily a tornado could have developed.
one of the tornados that hit altoona was forming above our house. It's truly terrifying
‼️‼️‼️I would be driving away from that tornado 🌪️ 😮👋
Ryan Hall Y’all and his weather team rock. Thank you.
Hope everyone’s okay and did get affected by that wedge tornado!❤
I am praying for all the people that live in Nebraska. Stay safe.
Might be the first EF5 tornado in the USA since 2013
as long as it didn't do sevear damage i dout it
I'd say at most it'll be given an EF4 rating
@@OPGOLEM damage will have to be reported for that kind
@@n.npixel2937 entire neighborhoods were decimated
Officially rated an EF3
One went through Kansas that was a cluster of 5 tornadoes! Was 4 miles wide all attatched to eachother.
Really, when?
That’s how you get one of them “Dead Men Walking” tornadoes
What?? That's impossible
The 5-in-1 special.
Dang
Awesome footage guys!
Blessings to all who had to go through this from our Heavenly father.
Deadly beauty
Prayers for all the people affected by this 🙏
Omg thats a monster.
That’s just stunning !
So this was what it felt like in Mojave desert today. We had winds at 55mph for an entire day. And entire week since Monday.
Winds 18-55 depending on day
For everyone sayin F5, it's not the size that determines it. Hope this helps.
you will delete this comment once the NWS surveys the damage 💯
@@uuuultra Maybe you misunderstood his comment.
F-5? Hope everyone survived this. Horrible storm. What percentage of people have a bassement or storm shelter.
A large majority have basements or storm cellars in iowa.
@@5points7019 Hope everyone survived. My heart goes out to those involved.
Last time I seen something like this was in Moore 😢 brings back that tragic day to memory and I was just out in that area not more than two weeks ago.
Though she can be destructive Mother Nature is beautiful hopefully no lives were lost 🙏🏾
I hope everyone stays safe.
I respectfully have to say that that was the most ridiculous reporting I've ever heard
I gotta agree this dude sounds like a loony toons character
2:28 - You don’t even have to use your windshield…
As a weatherman, he would be taken off the air in OKC for being overly excited.
@@MarcusBP being taken off the air for being too excited is crazy to me
@MVP123 A weather caster should be like Gary England in a tornado or Saya Hiyama in an earthquake. Not a gawker. People's lives depend on particular information, not sensationalism
Nebraska got hit hard today…I’m in Texas and watched this sucker. It was HUGE.
That's absolutely insane!
What the hell...was this reporter born yesterday?
it's fox news bro
Ya, that thing isn't even on the ground. Didn't even snap off any trees.
@@williamgreene4834 Are you blind?
@@williamgreene4834 Yes it was Lol. It was obviously dissipating once they got right up on it.
That guy is annoying af
"It looks to hit Wakita head on..."
Hahahahaha.. I heard Meg makes good steaks.
You see those cows outside??? 😂
Right now im trying not to kill us!
“IT’S THE WONDER OF NATURE BABY!!!”
I heard that. "The Finger of God."
I watched Al this live being tracked out of Omaha.. there was several vortexes inside almost every tornado that came down yesterday… it was the craziest thing to watch..
WOAH. I've never seen a bigger tornado 🌪 hope people are safe 😯😢
That's like el Reno 2013
bro it's like El Reno and Joplin and Hurricane Katrina had a baby!!!! 😮😮😮
@@uuuultranah
Looks like an F5
It is
It is
Size is irrelevant, only damage is considered in the rating. El reno 2013 was only an ef3 due to damage, and another 2 mi wide tornado in june 2008 was only a ef2
@@packerman7410 he said f5 not ef5. The bigger usually means the stronger don't be smart
The F system is not even used anymore. The EF system is used in the United States now. They determine the EF rating by the damage seen.
Woahhhh!!! WEEEE!!! Nearly 2 miles wide compared to the El Reno tornado back in 2013 or Joplin tornado of 2011.
That's why the 2013 El Reno tornado was EF3. but then they DID use radar to directly calculate wind speeds, so nobody even had to use the scale, but they did anyway without giving a second thought about the tornadoes potential.
Between here and here is a tornado. Yeah no duh
right
wrong
left
Lifelong residents of Iowa know large tornadoes are possible. This isn't a new phenomenon.
This looks like the biggest tornado in a while and could be a f5
You’re right, but you can’t deny this one is a BIG boy
@@strawyberryfairie
No doubt. It was big.
bro imagine living your whole life in iowa 😳😳😳
Yes but the climate changers will be out in full force in a short time.
This is reminiscent of the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado that occurred on May 31, 2013. It’ll be interesting to see how this one goes down in history comparatively.
Thanks for the drawing Dan I wasn’t sure what I was looking at
Five bucks says the NWS will only rate this monster an EF-2 or 3. Meanwhile I was reading a radar windspeed of 180+mph, and the ground level wind speeds are typically 30-40mph faster than that given how far away the radar was.
They probably will rating the power of a tornado damage is a bit stupid tbh
severe weather needs to be cancelled in 2024 😤
Ehh it’s a chance of ef3 but tons of people said low end ef4 which I did see a house swept clean so I guess that’s a good sign 😅
You might find it interesting to know most large tornadoes of the past were considered to have much more violent wind speeds. Looking at the old Fujita scale, a F3 tornado had winds of 158 to 206mph. Any storm with damage caused by winds over 200mph today would get an EF5 rating.
@@jcamp788 yea I heard about that a while ago it’s crazy to think that this can show how powerful these f5’s were if their f-5 wind speed is 261 if I’m not mistaken. There could’ve been so many f5 tornadoes that could be a candidate for worlds most powerful wind speeds
Let me get this straight. You are driving towards it?
Some people have a death wish.
They’re literally storm chasers
Prayers for all people and animals in its path!!
This was a very active day across Omaha and western Iowa those tornadoes were monsters today I live in Bennington and the damage out here is heart breaking. We were watching live tv and a tornado developed and hit the airport was insane ..
I live across the river in Iowa. I was wondering how the damage was in Lincoln, Omaha, etc. We were just in Omaha yesterday.
It’s not insane.
What is the black SUV have to be the first person in front of the line?
he wasn't scared like all the "chasers" in their subaru's 😂😂😂
It made a tree lean! It's a beast!
Prayers 🙏💪💜
He acting like he has never seen a tornado before
Possibly not one that large though, that's shockingly large
help i’m in iowa
Same
If you have a basement or a shelter get in it. If not, go to the most centralized location in your house (away from windows, preferably on the bottom floor)
Ry there’s 60 tornadoes in iowa@@thekushkunt
🌽 🚜
Tornados are the most beautiful yet SCARIEST work of nature I’ve watched (not seen because never have seen one in person and I really don’t want to see one in person).
My prayers go to the the poor people of Iowa who had to experince this. Hope a lot of them got to safety.
Did you see that flying cow?!! Soon it will be ground beef. 🐄🤣😂
America...land of tornadoes.
wait til November
Mesmerizing!
This one has to be roughly the same size, if not slightly bigger than the El Reno Tornado of 2013. This one is an absolute monster.
Lord Jesus have mercy on the people please protect them with the power of God I rebuke the storm let it come down praying for all the blood of Jesus for protection say Psalm 91:9,10 Amen 🛡️🩸🙏✝️
You not rebuking no storm
Blood is for redemption so repent now you got chance
Bruh unless the lord gave you a power I dont know about you aint rebuking beans.
It's all a trumps fault!
he didn't pay the tornado enough hush money
@@uuuultra 😂😂😂😂
It was wedge after wedge after wedge today, the one by elba Nebraska was way bigger today
