Wow. The tornado forming at 6:00 was pretty eye opening to me. It went from "seriously look out for a tornado" with no funnel cloud or anything to full blown "tornado" in about 15 seconds.

I’m not a spotter but I feel better knowing what I’m looking at. Thanks for posting this up for us all.

The bear's cage seems like a perfect place for kkkops 😊

I'm not from this area but this definitely clarified some things for me. Thank you!

+1 for the Judas Priest reference. "If you did you'd find yourself, doing the same thing too"

[@viibesmanga3503]

Thanks for this

I watched an F 0 go up and down 3 times in the Ca Mohave desert in 2012. It all happened really fast. I caught it all on film. I'm sure now we get these in the desert more than we know.

Very informative pair of videos. Thank you for that. Please though, for future videos, turn down the volume of the videos you are talking over. Half the time their audio is slightly louder than your mic and it's really hard to hear what you're saying in those instances

[@jasonhudsonphotography4772]

Excellent couple of videos and really helpful. We'll be registering as spotters

5:07 Did someone lose their best friend? LOL. The "noooo" caught me off guard.

[@ForensicPI]

[@underthetornado]

Can;t find the website to print the certificate

[@Nurichiri]

Even though I'm out of state I was able to get my certificate. How do I get my spotter ID number?

[@mobilecodplayer9505]

How do I get certified

[@Nurichiri]

@@mobilecodplayer9505 There is a test you have to take. NWS has classes in late winter to early spring before the weather gets spicy. Check your local NWS location or there are also classes online, which is how I got my certification.

Got too close! Not Got to close!

[@mikethompson148]

This video is 3 years old and still relevant and informative, but this typo made me forget everything I learned. I’m definitely reporting all hail as “marble-sized” for the rest of my life.

Your microphone is bad.
