It's not a real tornado unless Reed Timmer is shrieking like a schoolgirl to call attention to himself while simultaneously violating every traffic law known to man.
I completely agree! The silent approach really lets the visuals take center stage, making the experience more immersive and powerful. It's surprising that more people haven't upvoted it yet. The quality and intensity of the footage are truly remarkable. This video deserves a lot more recognition!
I couldn't agree more! The visuals are absolutely breathtaking, and letting the imagery speak for itself makes the experience even more powerful and impactful. It really lets us appreciate the raw beauty and force of nature.
I completely agree! Lincoln did an amazing job capturing this footage. It's some of the best tornado footage I've ever seen as well. The clarity and intensity of the scenes are truly remarkable.
Multiple-vortex tornadoes are scary as heck to watch. Thanks for uploading this video, and thank you for not shouting a lot. The video speaks for itself. Stay safe out there!
Good grief, I love the fact high def cameras exist. Videos like this fall flat on their face 20 years ago, but today, it’s so spectacular to watch and listen to tornadoes in great detail. Stunning videography. 👍🏼
Fantastic!! I’m sure all the compliments have been given but I’ll pile some more on if that’s ok with you! 😊 First, the visuals are incredible. With a great zoom and some distance we got really amazing close shots and from a distance the structure shots were also incredible! Next, the audio. THANK YOU for letting us hear it!!! No yelling, no musical accompaniment - just letting us truly join you in the experience. I’m a new sub and hope to be able to ride along with you guys again sometime. Again, THANK YOU!!! 🙏
Thanks for the superb footage. You bravely drove into wind I would estimate around 90-100mph from the trees. A lifetime of hurricane encounters has given me a fairly usable estimator for steady state wind speed.
From '62 through '67 we lived just outside of Gilmore City Ia. That entire area is laid out in 1 mile square grids, every mile you passed through a crossroad. We lived exactly between 2 crossroads. Dad should maybe had his butt kicked but he had me as a 6-10 year old standing/kneeling multiple times 2 strides outside the cave storm shelter watching tornadoes pass between us and the crossroad. 1 was identical to this one. Since then I recently rode out cat 5 Michael in the eastern eyewall, nothing man-made on this earth-below a nuclear weapon-is as powerful as nature. Nothing. This was a beautifully captured event, powerfully without the added noise and senseless danger.
On this day I got split by the two tornadoes. I was in downtown Omaha when the Elkhorn tornado touched down. The Minden on I watched on local television. This was one of the worst storms I have ever experienced. It was on either side of the town I live in (Council Bluffs)
The line of cars you were following headed for the storm reminded me of cattle unloading from a trailer at a processing plant.............one after another headed for their final destiny. Also noticed how many cars went to the houses to check on people.........there's some real humanity there!!!!😵
Incredible footage! I live in the Omaha area, Lincoln, and will never forget April 26th 2024. The Lincoln/Waverly tornado touched down less than 2 miles from where I live.
Absolutely! It’s incredible how they managed to capture that moment. Tornadoes are so powerful and unpredictable; seeing one up close must have been both terrifying and fascinating. The footage really shows the raw force of nature. Did you notice how the landscape changed almost instantly? Nature's power is both awe-inspiring and humbling.
Great footage! It's just unbelievable how fast and big they get! I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa and have been through 2 tornadoes. They fascinate me but also strike terror. Stay safe out there!
Great camera skills in the moment. I've seen footage from a good number of chasers in that line, but this is hands down the best quality. Awesome work and congrats on bagging the big one!
Absolutely stunning footage brother. As other commentors have mentioned I love the lack of commentary. Just let me listen like I was in the back seat, awesome. Wanted to be sure to leave a comment for your metrics this deserves a lot more attention than it seems to be getting at the moment. Keep them coming, new sub here for sure.
amazing footage!! Really highlights something I only recently discovered, that tornadoes are not just one big spinny funnel, but can often be several in a tight rotating pattern around, or many permutations of such.
Lincoln...I hope that you were capturing this footage from a tank. I couldn't help but speculate that you appeared to be within the tornadic wind field. Great footage...best I have seen. The "ride-along" footage at 7:19 is "off the hook!!"
superbly done, in what must’ve been some tense moments for you because it could’ve dropped a new vortex right on you! all that debris flying around certainly didn’t help things! keep up the good work!
I am baffled it only got an EF3 rating, considering the evident insane speed of the rotation and the way it moved. I do know that the EF scale takes damage into account , but we can clearly see the Tornado obliterating a construction and that did not seem EF3 damage to me....
@@kishensookoo7815 Possibly, but unlike Bridgecreek/Moore and El Reno, peak speeds in Greenfield were only experienced for less than a second. They were recorded so it's a new record?
I felt so sorry for those towns in SW Iowa. One (Marinars, maybe?) got hit twice by the same storm (2nd tornado) and one got hit as badly in the outbreak 10 days later.
@@artemis8396 The strongest? What does that mean exactly? Are you talking wind speeds? Size? Not that either would be true. Or even close to being true. But before I jump on that, I just want to make sure I know what you're claiming.
Amazing footage. Around 3:20 on it was ‘dead man walking’. Nice to watch some footage and actually get to hear the sound of the storm and not some dude yelling “VIOLENT!!!” a hundred times.
Im from California and I have family in Iowa, Des Moines and Waterloo area. I never experienced weather in CA like there is in Iowa. My mom used to say tornados will not strike between the fork of two rivers.....well thats not true. Our lightening is a couple of strikes and then its over. In Iowa it goes on and on, and then being glued to the TV watching for tornado warnings and watches...your storms scare the crap out of me.
At times, it looked like the wall cloud itself tipped over onto the ground. An "isolated" wisp of RFD "scud" would blossom, in the wink of an eye, into a vortex attached to the general circulation. Some heavier bits of debris would "aggravate" the surrounding air into generating yet another vortex. Some vortices would lay down on the ground, to become long-lived horizontal vortices. This just has to be one the more mystifying beasts that you've yet chased.
Someday coming soon there is going to a massive accident... not from the tornado.. but from all the chasers and onlookers pulling over on the side of busy highways to take video's/photos, etc. Very dangerous!
Really amazing footage. I wondered if the reason you never stopped to film was because of the speed across the ground of the tornado. Was it moving so fast you couldn't stop without losing it?
What am I missing here? Why does it always appear to be cars just driving by and there is a huge Tornado in sight. Are there people that are really that oblivious?
No yelling/screaming, no unnecessary shock value. Just raw, stellar footage. Thank you for posting!
No yelling and screaming because it was all muted lol
Bang on comment right here. Lends to the ominous of it.
It's not a real tornado unless Reed Timmer is shrieking like a schoolgirl to call attention to himself while simultaneously violating every traffic law known to man.
um.. 6:01..
@@pesto12601 Really? "Lookit, OMG" is yelling screaming? LOL.
4K video really takes it to another level.
Great video. Love that you don't need to talk (shout) and just let the images speak for themselves. Amazed it doesn't have more upvotes.
Yes!! Amd the wind noise is not overbearing
Reed is gonna yell at you for this comment
I completely agree! The silent approach really lets the visuals take center stage, making the experience more immersive and powerful. It's surprising that more people haven't upvoted it yet. The quality and intensity of the footage are truly remarkable. This video deserves a lot more recognition!

Great work, Lincoln. Some of the best footage of a tornado I've ever seen.
Thank you!
I agree with you. The speed of the clouds, the inflow/outflow jets, and the multiple vortices are the most detailed that I have seen I have seen.
It’s a multi vortex tornado wow 🙀 ❤
The tornado is so scary, nothing can stop it
I completely agree! Lincoln did an amazing job capturing this footage. It's some of the best tornado footage I've ever seen as well. The clarity and intensity of the scenes are truly remarkable.
Great footage without all the screaming and cussing. Thank you!
Why do I feel that all the „screaming“ comments are a less than subtle jab towards Reed Timmer?
The howling of the wind at & 7:40 is epic!
It was really creepy, but fixating.
Multiple-vortex tornadoes are scary as heck to watch. Thanks for uploading this video, and thank you for not shouting a lot. The video speaks for itself.
Stay safe out there!
But this one wouldn't kill a human. It's weak
@@kpruitt222 literally sees shit flying all over the place but wouldn't kill a human... ok
This was actually a rather strong tornado, rated EF-3 with DOW recorded wind speeds in excess of 200mph above the surface.
You can see the moment it gathered speed, when the two vortices became visible. Such a beautiful, terrible beast.@lincolnhauser
@@kpruitt222 What a weak ass comment
that was insanely fast rotation. also the clouds surrounding it were unusually low to the ground... very impressive
This needs so many more views. The complexity of the ground circulation forming from 5.00 mark is stunning.
Good grief, I love the fact high def cameras exist. Videos like this fall flat on their face 20 years ago, but today, it’s so spectacular to watch and listen to tornadoes in great detail. Stunning videography. 👍🏼
Truly overwhelming footage. I designed some of the tornado models in the film Twister.
Thank you! That’s awesome!
You figured out you don't get "twins" from a larger tornado splitting apart, right?
@@minissa2009😆
Did you really?? I read Storm Chaser when i was 10, then Twister came out so i wrote Warren Faidley 😊 he was so kind and responded with a postcard ☺️
Geeze at 3:30 it looks monstrously scary.
Fantastic!! I’m sure all the compliments have been given but I’ll pile some more on if that’s ok with you! 😊

This is by far the best footage I've seem with this tornado. Well done!
Incredible footage. That circulation at the end of this video was so rapid it was hard to believe that it wasn’t ‘sped up’. Good stuff!
4:50 - 5:40 That was some really beautiful footage there, the sky, the farm in the background getting hit, the trees, awesome.

WOW!!! The best video I've ever seen on a tornado!
Great video, sir. Thank you for not screaming all the way through it. Glad you stayed safe. Really impressive multi vortex.
You know you're too close when the circulation is right over you lol. Great footage.
Great footage! It's just unbelievable how fast and big they get! I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa and have been through 2 tornadoes. They fascinate me but also strike terror. Stay safe out there!
Beautiful piece of work! One of the very best footage here on TH-cam.
This whole video is surreal man. Great footage, it's sad that it hit populated areas. What a monster.
Absolutely gorgeous. Great job capturing that.
Starting around the 5:00 mark……Is the video sped up? I’ve never seen an entire meso rotating that fast. Ever!!
Absolutely incredible video my friend.
Nope! All in real time. The motion really was incredible. Some very high wind speeds were recorded.
@@lincolnhauser absolutely incredible. Great capture
Great camera skills in the moment. I've seen footage from a good number of chasers in that line, but this is hands down the best quality. Awesome work and congrats on bagging the big one!
Incredible footage. Tornadoes are so fascinating.
20+ years of watching storm chase vids and this one still left me in complete awe 💯
Thx for not screaming like others
The cloud movement looked like it was sped up. Incredible.
right!?? it was insanely fast!
Great coverage, and no screaming or hooping & hollering. Thank you for sharing 🌪️⚡🌪️⚡🌪️⚡

This is amazing footage. Amazing views of the size of this tornado. Unreal
Your footage is astounding, if not epic!!! Thanks for allowing us to hear it!
Sounds like a mic was set up outside the car..... One of the best Sir, thank you!!!
What a Beast!!!
This is beautiful. Very artistically filmed. To witness such majesty!
amazing footage!!
Really highlights something I only recently discovered, that tornadoes are not just one big spinny funnel, but can often be several in a tight rotating pattern around, or many permutations of such.
Omgsh this footage was unbelievable !!! Scary, thank you!!!!
That was really some spectacular footage. Wow.
Wow, definitely some of the best tornado footage I’ve seen!
Excellent footage
"we gotta go we gotta go" - wiser words were never spoken
No hysterical screaming. Great job.
Looking at this scene, I remembered that last year my family also experienced a catastrophic tornado and my house was completely destroyed.😔😔
THAT TORNAD IS SPINNING SO FAST UNBEALIVABLE FOOTAGE OF THIS WEDGE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
That tornado is spinning so slow. It's an EF 0
your creativity blows me away!
Hypnotic, fascinating and genuinely awsome footage.
Lincoln, at about 07:50, did you hear the RFD screaming through those powerlines that day? It must have been pretty loud, like a theremin on steroids!
... and the lack of screaming and Drama is refreshing, as many others pointed out
Just watching the entire sky rotating before it took shape was just bone chilling. That alone is terrifying
Lincoln...I hope that you were capturing this footage from a tank. I couldn't help but speculate that you appeared to be within the tornadic wind field. Great footage...best I have seen. The "ride-along" footage at 7:19 is "off the hook!!"
superbly done, in what must’ve been some tense moments for you because it could’ve dropped a new vortex right on you!

Stunning footage
INCREDIBLE footage 🌪
one hell of a nader
Wow! Camera technology has sure come a long way over the past 20 years….incredible!
Oh wow sure got dark. That's crazy
Beautiful footage. That would be so mesmerizing!
OUTSTANDING!😊
Was that the Greenfield tornado that was said to be the most powerful ever recorded??
This was actually about a month before the Greenfield tornado, that one was on May 21st. This was in the same general region of Iowa though.
@@lincolnhauser ohhh thanks for the clarity bro but do you believe the Greenfield one surpassed Bridgecreek and El Reno?
@@kishensookoo7815 Possibly, but unlike Bridgecreek/Moore and El Reno, peak speeds in Greenfield were only experienced for less than a second. They were recorded so it's a new record?
@garymackey850 ohhh kk but still 300 MPH is a freak of nature, that's like totally awesome

This is a chasers wet dream here. Large tornado, but not too large. In a rural area. And photogenic as all heck.
Also the strongest one recorded in history ❤

Multiple vortices too! People aren't kidding when they say it sounds like a freight train/jet plane roaring.
At 1:20 it looks like 5 tornados making a big tornado 🌪 ❤
Wow! Being an Iowan myself I can’t imagine seeing this coming towards me!
Really amazing footage. I wondered if the reason you never stopped to film was because of the speed across the ground of the tornado. Was it moving so fast you couldn't stop without losing it?
Monster! Great video quality and no unnecessary talking or yelling to ruin the experience. Excellent job!
Wow that’s a beautiful tornado I would love to be a storm chaser someday that be awesome thing for me to experience
Thanks for that nice footage. Earth is a good planet to live on. The only planet in the solarsystem with that kind of tornados.
Mesmerizing footage…the multiple vortices are deadly then it wedges out? Hope no one was killed.GREAT job
Incredible tornado and video!
Love the part where u drove directly underneath a spawning tornado and didnt react until it dropped 100 yards in front of the car
Now that was some amazing footage! Wow!
Excellent footage!
What am I missing here? Why does it always appear to be cars just driving by and there is a huge Tornado in sight. Are there people that are really that oblivious?
I swear Americans are just suicidal/oblivious to collosal tornadoes right in front of them!🤔
Wow. Incredible.
holy crap, that is a massive monster
Stunning
It looked like it was fast forwarded, if it wasnt, these tornadoes r evolving, that was seriously fast rotation
