OFFICIAL HENRYVILLE TORNADO!! Shot by Rhett Adams

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มี.ค. 2012
- I shot this video of the EF-4 tornado that blasted through Henryville, Indiana on March 2, 2012. I shot it out the back door of my house that is approximately a quarter of a mile away from the twister itself..video clearly shows multiple vortices. Please comment and tell me what you think. AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE VIDEO. Thank you.
Thank you for this valuable video. The Henryville tornado is notable in that its multivortex nature is unusually clear. The tornado actually is several tornadoes twisting around each other. As for the tree falling down, the funnel is the visible part of a tornado, but the tornado often extends far out from the visible funnel, in a few documented cases up to a mile (!) and smaller vortexes often dance away from the funnel, which accounts for isolated damage away from the main path.
you can say what you want..but this is one of the best tornado vids ever...
Agree 100%
Agreed
Bruce Lee You should watch other videos of the same tornado. You'll learn your opinion changes quickly. It's hard for midwestern tornadoes to look like the ones you may see in Oklahoma, but this tornado has a definite shape to it and packed a mighty punch.

The above video is 21 year old and it's still one of the best amateur vids around.
that tree worked so hard to stay up that after it passed it was like "fuck I'm tired"
collapsed from exhaustion poor thing
This beasts had to be about the fastest tornado I've ever seen on video! Really scary, especially since you are so close! Glad it didn't hit your house! Fantastic video!
If people are offended by the language, they should mute the sound and be done with it. I can't imagine "proper" language coming from anyone witnessing such a terrifying sight.
+E Mack My wife and I almost got thrown from the road from one that we hadn't seen getting ready to touch down in front of us. There are no gentlemen or women when shit like this is going down.
+E Mack I live on the coast in NC where Water Spouts and hurricanes are an always thing. You don't hear us talkin like that every other word. And as far as mute the video...Well no SHIT idiot had I known he was every other breath fuckin this and that, I would of muted the video. I guess any excuse to cuss is better than anything...HA
first of all, don't compare waterspouts to supercell-spawned tornadoes. I'm not aware of any waterspouts in recent times ripping violently through a neighborhood like that. Ditto with hurricanes. You have fucking DAYS to get out of a hurricane's path or prepare accordingly, and it does not appear suddenly from the sky one day. (more or less, I know conditions can be forecast days in advance, but when you get Tornado Watches all spring like where I live you can not pack up and flee or cower in your basement/cellar all day & night.
edit: I meant ditto as in ditto don't compare hurricanes to supercellular tornadoes, not that they don't tear up human settlements
josh willis aren't you just proper? GTFO
josh willis you are an idiot!!!!!
I wouldn't doubt that this thing had faster forward motion than the supposed fastest-moving tornado ever, the Tri-state tornado. This beast was moving insanely fast, and could have very well been moving at 75+ mph at various points, even if it was only briefly.
The sheer violence and rotational speed reminds me of the 2016 EF-4 that was very well documented in Oklahoma (Wynnewoode
I believe).
From the damage I personally saw in Henryville, its a miracle that a big chunk of the population didnt die up there. The damage is massive! It is crazy to see the tornado going through there on this video.
THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE VIEWED AND APPRECIATED MY VIDEO. THIS VIDEO WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED FOR PERSONAL USE, THE CUSSING AND FOUL LANGUAGE WAS JUST A REACTION TO SEEING SOMETHING AWESOME AND INCREDIBLY POWERFUL...AS IF I NEED TO EXPLAIN MY ACTIONS TO ALL OF YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS LOUD MOUTHS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE LANGUAGE, THEN DONT WATCH IT, OR MUTE IT....YOUR CHOICE. THANKS.
Rhett Adams There are decent, empathetic, intelligent people. Those that misbehave are the immoral, narcissistic, idiots that can't figure out what's in front of their faces. Awesome footage. Sad for the tree but glad you are safe.
Rhett Adams. Great video. I was working north of Derby, IN just off highway 37 that day. I remember all the warnings coming over the radio and how ominous the clouds looked. I quit drywalling for an hour or so and went outside to watch the sky. Thought we were gonna get one the way it looked.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and comments!! This is the official video, people have some how ripped off my video and posted it as their own. I flag all I can but its an ongoing battle. I thought it was a pretty epic video if I don't say so myself lol..however no one wants to pay to air it. They just do it without permission.
That tornado was BOOKIN' IT!!
Ikr?! Like damn that tornado had somewhere to be!
Hehe!
If you thought that guy was using foul language you should have heard what that squirrel in the tree said, " Motherfuck "
Oh my God Frank, your comment made me laugh soooo hard!!😜
Too funny 😂😂😂
that's not just ONE tornado...that's TWO vorteses dancing around each other.
really incredible footage.
Wow, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Terrifying, too. I'm a chaser and I can definitely say I've never gotten a video quite like that, haha. The structure is just incredible, the inflow, the insanely violent motion.. damn.
such an incredible video! definitely one of the best I've ever seen! The forward speed on that tornado was amazing. I think it was moving over 70mph at certain times.
"INCREDIBLE VIDEO FOOTAGE!"
I CAN "NOT IMAGINE" the "Damage, Death & Destruction," from this "EF 4 Tornado!
Love from Minnesota. ❤
12 years ago, yikes. I just came across this after watching some tornado footage videos and this honestly makes you realize how fast tornados can be and is quite alarming. I'd hate to go through a tornado, but that's somewhat unlikely depicting where I am. Great video, though! 👍
Awesome! I understand your use of foul language, probably because you're right next to a tornado with 160-200 mile per hour winds.
They were over 200 mph especially in the subs 250 mph or more!
the inflow from them storms is amazing as you see that large tree go down after passing by
this is the best home-made shot of this tornado by far that i have seen yet. thanks for posting it and i hope everyone is doing good down there! The coolest part was when that huge oak blew down from the rfd (rear flank downdraft) winds- it looked far away from the tornado's center but the strength of it was no match indeed! best wishes from southern wisconsin

I thought that too!! But I’m from the UK (we never have large tornadoes, not currently anyway!) and I personally didn’t realise that the space left by the tornado would have such suction behind it to cause a massive tree to fall down after the tornado has passed.
Might sound stupid, be kind lol. But are the rear flank drafts ever strong enough to pull structures and debris etc from the back of the tornado, into the funnel again to be spat out again? Just wondered as the tree fell in the direction of the back of the funnel and not to the side.
The Moore Oklahoma has the only better one….
That is some excellent footage. That tornado is a monster multi-vortex...the most intense and destructive kind no doubt. Nice job...and I would've been cussing my arse off, too.

Absolutely right.. this is a very small town with one fire station, and the fire station is where the ONLY siren is coming from. The residents living in "town" can hear them fine..but once you get out in the more rural area, of the neighboring towns it hit, you cannot hear the warning sirens. But we all knew that severe weather was to be expected that day, just didnt know HOW severe.
My sister and I laugh soooooo hard every time we watch this at the part where the tree comes down and just the way he says,"holy shit" makes us laugh so hard! Even when it is a sad and scary situation it can also bring laughter!
Great video. I was thinking those same words at the exact time that you said them. Anyone who stood where you stood and saw what you saw would say the exact same. This beats the professional chaser's videos.
Thank you for sharing something that took a considerable amont of courage to capture on this video. Great job "under fire" --- and I can't even get a steady video of the kids in the backyard !!
That tornado was extremely violent! I’ve seen enough tornado videos to know that when a tornado has strong upward motion like that it means that it’s very dangerous and violent.
Bet everyone had to change their underwear after that....
yip Cause I was in it. Actually had to change 2 pairs 1 for the tornado and 1 for all the news reporters!
You got some awsome footage. Great job filming it. That must have been crazy to walk outside and see that. Best of luck to all on rebuilding.
Your opening comment made me laugh because I, too, was watching "the most insane thing I've ever seen in my 'effin' life" too. And I watch lot's of tornado videos!
I can't even imagine the rush you felt, standing there, with every nerve aware, trying to compute the new reality unfolding, so to speak, before your very eyes!! WOW!!!
Most excellent footage!
Cheers!
tornados to this day are still very mysterious, notice how a tree is not directly in the path of the funnel yet it still gets knocked down even after the tornado has passed, remarkable
If you got sucked that hard at 85 years old, you’d fall down too brother
Thank you for all the comments!! Its been a rough week.. Thanks be to all those who have helped in any way to all people and towns affected.
9 years later...Who has these balls!?!? My ass woulda been in the basement or ditch or wherever tf I could go! Gorgeous video though. Kudos 👊🔥🐝
I agree.. Who gives a FUCK about bad language right now.
That last "holy shit" killed me 😂😂😂
I've watched this video numerous times. Enjoy it each time. You kept your cool and held the camera as steady as may be expected. You did very well. You are definitely born-again non-noob camera experienced. Others should watch this to see how recording a tornado should be done.
WOW!!!! So much power, it's crazy . Very fast moving. Great video. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hope everyone is ok.
You can actually see inside the tornado. Amazing
This is probably one of the scariest tornado videos ever! Incredible video!
Scariest hands down is Clem shultz in the Rochelle-fairdale Illinois monster 1/2 mi wide super wedge rated f-4. I call it a f-5 at times watch it it sounds evil out of this world terrifying! See if you agree best video on the internet and ps that was April 9,2015 there is still scars and damage there 6 years later
There are sirens seconds before the tornado hit, I am not sure if they are going off during.. possibly just cant hear them over the wind. The fire station is directly behind the camera about 3/8 mile.. but after it goes past, there wasnt any I know as you can tell in the video.
Man, that thing was violent! That's twisters for ya, though...
It's been over a year and I am still awestruck by the image of that tornado tearing through your neighborhood. I do not normally use the "f" word and don't particularly like to hear it but under those circumstances I'm not sure what might come out of my mouth! Thank you for sharing this moment with us.
STUNNING you got the most phenomenal shot of muliple vortexes I've ever seen-WOW!!! Reed Timmer really needs to see this-fantastic job! Thank you!!!
Check out Clem Shultz in Rochelle-fairdale super tornado of 2015 by far the scariest video of a tornado ever filmed period it was just as strong as this one much bigger and slower moving wiped out 1/3 of fairdale nothing left but concrete foundations and some of them were cracked and dislodged!
How do I know this? I live only a few miles away from that event and saw it happen something you never forget!
After watching this several times I’m convinced in this video that this is a f-5 tornado no doubt the motion is insane the roar is unreal and the speed it’s moving and all those subs ripping everywhere I’ve seen other videos of this event but none like this video great work!
This ranks up there with the very best tornado videos!
Hun, I live in Kansas. Anyone who doesn't completely understand your state of mind and language under those circumstances doesn't live in Tornado Alley. I'd just say you showed a complete grasp of the situation. Good video and the audio sounds appropriate to me.
It disturbs me what the TH-cam-viewer community has come to. Really awesome video here, but literally nobody knows how to behave while commenting on it. Let's all just watch the video and try not to start wars with each other, thank you.
That's the most SENSIBLE thing I've heard said in a comment section, I agree with you Ethan B.
There is literally no one starting wars with each other...
Dang Rhett, it's been a year today. What a crazy day that was. Even from a few miles away I knew that sucker was a killer. Saw your video right after you posted it last year, had to come back and watch it again today. Still one of the best from that terrible day, best is a weird word to use for something that killed people but you got the multiple vortices so yeah My heart and prayers are with those who lost loved ones, and those who are still recovering. Ya'll take care today.
Easily one of the most incredible tornado videos of all time. A little shaky, but I'd be shaking & swearing too if that beast was shredding stuff that close to me! The vortex action is incredible and so is the wind gradient; I bet you would've been blown away recording this if you had been across the street. This video is so impressive that it has spawned its own discussion thread on a weather board I frequent. Kudos for the fucking amazing shot, and best wishes for Henryville and its citizens.
Amazing tornado footage
Look at the rotation.
Wow! That beast was moving insanely fast! No way anyone could outrun that. Great video! It took some guts to stand out there and film it. I feel sad for those families who lost loved ones and their homes. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
They say it followed the river. I lived in Leavenworth at the time and had been working in downtown Louisville.
A very good, and very dangerous close shot. There is definitely no denying that footage is pretty awesome, catchign such a violent and dangerous tornado from a fairly close position. Dangerous for two reasons: With the wind/inflow surrounding it being near power lines and being in the open in the debris path was not a smart play. I am glad that you were not injured and were able to capture such wonderful footage.
amazing video 10 years later
As someone who’s school went on lockdown due to the tornado, I can tell you, it was a true life or death experience. While we didn’t get hit or anything, we still managed to get out of the school before it went on full lockdown..
Misses his house by hundreds of yards and he's still 10X calmer than most of the "chasers" out there.
Thank you for videoing this. So glad it wasn't closer to your home!
awesome footage, dude!
This is one of the best tornado videos I have ever seen.
dude i live in Muncie and have always wanted to see a tornado up close.... now i dont lol..thanks for the video! awesome job
Wow, comment much appreciated. Thank you.
dont know what to say to that. mixed feelings about this. had familys house in ur pic. cant help to have a tear in the eye on that one . great job for film puts alotttttttttt of pic together . ur all in my prayers tonite and see ur all tomorrow on the clean up
I can't believe I saw this tornado with my own eyes. Only tornado I've ever seen and probably will ever see.
I live in Sellersburg, and while I was fortunate that it missed us, my niece and her family lost their pet grooming business and vehicle, as well as significant damage to their home...even 10 miles away, I was looking out my door saying some of the same words! It's easy for someone who has never been in that situation to say they wouldn't cuss or freak out..but truth is when mother nature is coming for your ass you just don't know how you will act! Thanks for the video, and glad you are safe!
luvbunnykk i
I chuckled very loudly. You deserve a cookie.
Rhett Adams is a self proclaimed genius with Baws of Steel...
awesome, it is incredable how strong a tornado gets and how they build up and everything.. just speechless......
Terrible, such a huge tornado passing so close to one's home. Hope no one was seriously injured in this powerful storm.
Sirens are great when they're a part of an integrated warning system, which includes NOAA weather radios, the EAS, etc, along with sirens. Having a weather radio is like having a smoke detector, everyone should have one.
It's hard to get footage like this. Everything was just right. The tornado was not wrapped in rain. It did not come directly at the person with the camera. The debris wasn't so thick that you couldn't see what was going on inside of the funnel cloud. The tornado hit closely enough that you could see inside without being so close he had to run for cover. The land was flat enough that there weren't big hills in the way or enormous trees in the way. And since it was early March, the leaves had not come out on the trees yet.
What an incredibly recording, Rhett. You should be proud, even if it's of something so heartbreaking.
Awesome vid. I would have been cussing up a storm myself. Really a good job.
Awesome video!!!!!! I am Meteorology student and I study lots of tornado films. Let tell you that this tornado might be small but wow, the speed of tornado is "Amazing"!!! Would of love to seen this live!!!
Amazing footage. Balls of steel, man!!!
it is best video of that tornado. I can see vortices and stuff. you did great work with recording of that tornado.
WELL DONE! This Footage Is Increadable I Love How The Trees Are Not In Leaf It Adds A Sort Of Erieness To This Vid! AMAZING :o
I don't know what the big deal is. It's just air, moving around in a circle... that can uproot trees, level houses, and toss heavy vehicles like they're toys. Yeah, never mind. I think I see what the big deal is, now. Crazy video, Rhett.
Didn't realize that was a multi-vortex tornado, either. Insane.
Gee willikers, that's thing's a fucking juggernaut!
I live in Louisville, so it's creepy to think that this monster was wreaking death and destruction just a few minutes north. It barely even rained in our neighborhood, though.
Amazing vid, among the best tornado vids ever. Good thing it isn't THE best tornado vid ever, because the best tornado vid ever was probably recorded on a camera that got smashed, along with the cameraman, against an spinning airborne mobile home.
To the comments of (fool hardy), it what probably is. To the other comments of amazment at mother nature, it realing is amazing, the sites of nature behaving like this is extremly hard for those who find it amazing to hold themselves back. Its not something they can just hide from. There is a sense of wanting to "learn" from it somehow, if only through the experiense of seeing it. Good footage brother, was glad to see it didn't cost you any injury. The tone in your voice said it all.
That's a sight you don't see everyday.
Im down here in georgia and i had to call up my friends in clarksville and otisco to check on them. But yea dude your video kicks ass! It's a trip how that big oak tree just falls from out of nowhere!
Much agreed!! Are there actually people who say it didn't happen?? How is this possible..
You were watching an upper-end EF4 tornado moving past you at close range -- I think most people would probably have said the same things you did under the same circumstances.
If it's any consolation: during the Texas wildfires in 2011, a wildfire came within six blocks of our house. When we saw the wall of flame heading towards our neighborhood, my Mormon neighbor and I (Lutheran) both dropped the f-bomb.
Extraordinary circumstances warrant more than, "Gosh!" "Dog bite it!" "Mercy me!"
Man that was a great shot. You got balls standing out there like that. lol. I'd be too scared it would turn on me.
By far, the BEST tornado fottage this year!
Damn!! And i was scared when the storm Dagmar was in action. I guess our swedish weather is..calm. :-) nice video!
Dude. F-ing awesome shot. That thing was mashin' it.
I'm trying to pin point what street this was filmed from on Google Earth but can't seem to figure it out.
The multiple vortices are amazingly apparent and the tornado looks terrifying. I've never in my life seen a video of a tornado moving that fast. NWS says it was moving at 70 mph, and possibly even faster.
I live in Kentucky and I remember this outbreak was predicted for a couple of days, but we did NOT know how severe like you say. It seemed like every storm had a tornado in it. Of course the one you filmed is one of the main ones, along with the W. Liberty Kentucky tornado. Very bad day indeed. Glad you are safe and shared this video with us. Ignore the morons talking about how you are cussing. Last time I checked seeing a tornado is rare and terrifying. Some people are self righteous assholes.
Reminds me of the Andover tornado right after it hit the air force base and began transitioning into its wedge-esque configuration.
Would love to see somebody clean this video up. Stabilize it, fill in the spots where the video briefly chokes, that sort of thing.
Listen to that sucker roar! Reminds me of the Katie-wynwood Oklahoma tornado which had the most intense rotation I’ve seen in recent history plus both were high end f-4 killers
Crazy awesome footage!! It is a huge adrenaline rush, I myself have ridden out 2 tornadoes! The power of nature.
Wow, this is insane footage. Can’t believe I’d never seen it before
I love the narrative! I would have been saying exactly the same things.
It was a low end EF4, with winds from 170 to 175 MPH.
Probably, still the most dynamic tornado vid I've seen. I was a bit concerned about the power cables above you.
Wow-- awesome catch, dude!
He makes me laugh every time I hear him lol. He was probably just hangin' with the hommies and all of a sudden this thing came through lol. OMG that's funny. One of my favorite tornado videos ever, by far.
I have yet to see a tornado in person and would like to do that some day. I, too, would probably have the same reaction as you seeing something that awesome so close. Great video!
I hope to never see a tornado no matter what the circumstance. Yes they may be spectacular and powerful, but causes too much damage and can take away your life if not careful.
Looks like the fire station narrowly escaped too. Glad you're ok, and that your house didn't get hit.
awesome video my man. its a one in a million chance to get to capture something like this on video( mathematical equation not based on any actual government studies by a panel of top scientists) to share with everyone..
I remember watching it from my house, I feel so bad for everyone over in Henryville. I live in New Washington Indiana
Can claim the lawn chair blowing over on his homeowners insurance 🤣
