Amazing, scary captures dude! Well done again.
Hi 👍
Hi hank
🤟🏿
Where have you been up to in 2023.
Love watching his videos as much as I love watching yours! As Reed Timmer says "Keep Chasing!!!"
At 17:37 you get a good visual of the tornado separate from the dirt/dust. Good job sir!
Daniel. A potential thing i would like to see you do if you ever get the chance. If you have a cb. Radio, and you know a tornado is approaching an interstate, turn to channel 19 and warn us truck drivers. We try to keep up with the weather but sometimes a little extra warning would be nice, and trust me we are listening. A storm chaser did this last year and saved my life.rain wrapped tornadoes are scary. I would have driven into it.
Thank you Daniel for showing this to the People how it really was. Your focused , precice spotting and repots gave the NWS , who was watching your Stream a Bonus they rapidly, gave a warning to people , at least a few minutes more to survive this Monster. You are have been an important part getting this warning out fast.
An intressthing Chase Day that turned into a Nightmare for the poor People of Matador,TX. The Storm evolved so rapidly , the CG barage and the RFD was so massive you could see it will go Tornadic in every Moment. One of this Livestreams i likely will never forget in my Life. This helpless Feeling of watch people lose they Life ,when a Rain wrapped Monster destroys everything and than Hail trys to smash you on top of it. Followed by more Tornadic Storms that cut you off from helping people.
Thanks to alle Helpers who have been there. And thinking about all who lost loved ones.
Beautiful. Awful. I've been past Matador on travels through TX. Another day where you were the only bit of light to somebody having Officially The Worst Day of Their Life.
Hello from NM. Watch out for all the Enchantment flying around in the air if you visit. XP
God bless.stay safe.
Should've been EF-4 but ended up as an EF-3. Guess full well built brick house just doesn't warrant an EF-4 level then?
It does, but apparently the new rating requires that there is many well built structures that are destroyed and few that are not well built. This is what is wrong with the new rating system. It places too much emphasis on well built structures and put the damage indicators too high. And windspeed needs to be factored in more. It needs to be redone or the old scale reinstated with appropriate changes.
You can barely see it but it's there.
Curious, has anyone heard anything from Daniel since he returned to Australia this season? I no longer use Twitter so do not know if he’s active. I’ve followed him for years and just concerned. Hope all is well.
last time i heard from him on FB , hes is recovering from the Trip. And post on Twitter sometimes. Like few Days ago after Yuma Tornado.
@@obsidianwing Glad to hear that. I was watching one of his videos and realized I hadn’t seen anything at all since he left the car. I was concerned.
its quite normal , he wont share a lot after the USA Tour for a few Months @@angelapierred6461
Completely rain cloaked just like El Reno
WHAT DOES A TORNADO SMELL LIKE? NOTICED OVER PAST SEVERAL DAY. THEY SAY THEY SMELL TORNADO.
Like pine and earthy smell
My grandfather always said he could smell a storm coming. He took me out as a little kid and showed me, had me take big breaths to smell it and look at certain trees to see if the leaves have turned upside down. If they have, big storm approaching. I thought he was a wizard. Everything he taught me about weather holds true to this day.
I would think it would smell like ozone.
@@NYCHFAN I LIVE CHICAGO AREA. CONSTANT SMELL FROM FIRES IN CANADA.
@@tmac5566 THANKS
Very sad this tornado escalated to an F4 I hope people are underground and safe, sending prayers
4 died.
That was some childish driving. Pull out in front of a convoy then pass 3 cars on a 2-lane? You’re gonna cause accidents at the worst times
That first home you came back to was the home of some dear family friends. My parents live less than half a mile up the hill from them. They were so fortunate to make it through that storm!
Who are your parents I know everyone from Matador as I grew up in motley co and graduated from matador
@@kychristopher3424 Stan & Melisa Martin - I'm related to a lot of folks in the county. We were all born and raised there but moved away when I was in 6th grade. They moved back after they retired.
@@kychristopher3424 Which family do you belong to?
What an utterly terrifying and gripping storm chase this was. I applaud how you kept yourself centered and talked yourself into moving more cautiously, even though your adrenaline must have been going off the charts. I'm sure the people you helped were grateful, and this just shows how chasing is both gratifying and exciting, yet heartbreaking and saddening when you are faced with people having lost their lives or all their possessions. Great work.❤️
You passed by my aunt and uncle's house. They were in the cellar during all of this. My mama lives close by as well. So thankful they were all safe. Prayers for all effected.
Somewhat speechless. You are diligent about storm chasing, reporting, helping, directing, and checking things out for recovery. This was so difficult to watch but I watched and paid attention to what you said as well as what was happening on the roadway and wherever the camera was aimed. My heart is still racing … and broken for the people and town. I had to really think my way through this comment. No wonder I’ve heard others speak so highly of you. Thank you for all you do, for being here and doing what you do! ❤
THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND IS BACK
This storm was given a preliminary rating of EF3 by NWS Lubbock on 6/24/23. I do not know where all the comments that are saying its EF4 came from. It was never rated EF4 by an official NWS source.
Would have been so terrifying. Well spotted Daniel. It was very eerie how it appeared out of that rain wrapped mess around 16.28 into the video.
Yes! That was crazy! Right around this time, it's such a cool view with the tornado looking like a thin rope, but with a large area of circulation. My heart and prayers go out to all impacted by these storms!❤
I was headed home on Eastbound I-40 from New Mexico that day. It was rather awe inspiring seeing those systems develop as I drove eastward. I could see the overshooting tops from about 120-130 miles away plain as day.
I decided to get a hotel in Amarillo and not risk driving g through any of this. After watching the radar I could have probably made it they without get a drop of rain on me, but seeing this makes me glad I played it safe.
Great job Daniel! I appreciate the high quality of your videos. Especially enjoy the banter you have with Vince. Excellent job, and thank you for all you do to keep people safe! :)
I don't know about anyone else, but I'd love to see you put your heart rate somewhere on screen so we can see when you're excited. Love your passion for the hunt and rescue. Keep up the good work.
I live up by the Great Lakes and have seen many tornadoes and waterspouts. They are absolutely beautiful. The damage they cause is catastrophic, but they are truly a sight to see. Forecasts say we may see some again tomorrow here.
Thank you mr Daniel for everything you do to warn others for safety!! Thank u so much
I got emotional when you turned around and went back to Matador asking people if they were ok and all accounted for. Tornados are a wonder and fascinating to see. I hope I never have to experience one first hand.
I have been finding tornadoes fascinating the past few monthes. Have no idea what made me so addicted tothese videos or why other then mother nature is fascinating. Feel bad many have passed and lively hoods destroyed by these but at the same time its a wow moment aswell.
Im absolutely terrified when watching things like Final Destination which cause me to panic but somehow I find these relaxing. Might be cause I know that tornados are not dangerous were I live only get rare ones In california which are no where close to me. I have to give people credit who live in the path of these and the devastation even tragedy it could leave behind. You guys are so strong and brave.
Kudos to you for your service to the residents and public safety crews of the area. Have a safe trip back home!
I just googled this tornado... 4 people died :(
💔
Fantastic footage Daniel. It was a nasty tornado 🌪. Have a great day, and stay safe my friend ❤️🙂⚘️.
Thank you, Daniel for all you do,either chase or search& rescue. We will miss you greatly when you go back home. Safe journeys here or there.
not only are you hilarous in Hank's videos, you capture some of the most beautiful views of tornadoes perfectly. well done mate
Thanks
Watching it slowly emerge from the rain was absolutely terrifying! Amazing video!
Just discovered your channel - such a great video, and thankful for your reporting. Now a subscriber!
Mr. Shaw, I have been following you for a few months and have been very impressed with your chasing skills and how you cover all that is happening. Thanks for doing such a great job in a very fluid season.
Crazy day and so sad seeing the impact this tornado did. You are awesome for helping out the best you could. God bless.
That was a dynamic storm, I'm glad you're okay but my heart hurts for those people who lost everything!
Oh lordy. So much emotion. I was born and raised in Amarillo, the panhandle is my home. I've been gone since 90 but I still watch out for family/friends up there. Matador is such a small place, the amount of damage, just what you saw in this one, was terrifying. That car/tractor/whatever was horrible, the power of these things. Thank you for not only chasing and showing it, but for the methodical and caring you show when it passes. Weird: the one thing I kept coming back to is how green it looks up there, so much rain this year. It's usually a yellow/brown color. Funny how your brain catches things.
I really wonder if his car has ever been hit by lightning, or how close he's come to being hit.
Rain wrapped tornadoes are the most dangerous ones
Its easy to say more like Storm Chased than Chaser, however, without the options of decent roads, going forward is the only bet. Its not the first vid like this either, and, for it, I think your vids, "weather" intended or not, lends a view of the terror of those caught in the path, rather than the safer bet of hanging behind the rfd and driving to keep up at a safe distance.
I think the Matador TX tornado was a ef4 tornado and the tornado was 10 minutes from my ranch
10min!! That's close.
& yes this was an EF4 that was nominated as "The worst tornado to strike Texas since 2015."
@@StormChaserMaci. yea I drove and saw it and then drove back home
@@Crowell_edits Lucky to see it before it was hidden in that rain!
@@StormChaserMaci. fr it was crazy
All the sources I can find say it was an ef3. Where do you see ef4?
I understand what a HUGE hassle it is and extremely complicated, but dude a livestream from you would be insane. I understand your not interested in the "views" or "clicks" because your not that kind of person, but for an armchair weather geek who loves to learn about weather it would be so cool to learn more from you and your conservative, no nonsense approach to hazardous weather.👍
Check out his website - he streams there. Yes, it's a subscription service, but it sounds exactly what you're looking for.
Incredible footage! Job well done on the chase. Love the rear camera in car. Very informative descriptions on all aspects of the Storms & Tornado's. Excellent on warning others & the people you help. Thank you.
I appreciate all you do Daniel stay safe!
Top notch Daniel. Cheers from Brisbane
Glad you are ok. Looks like lots of damage in a rural area
Iam in western oklahoma and I watched that storm your an awesome storm chaser and guy keep up the great work and prayers for metador Texas tornado victims
I live in Cache Oklahoma now but was raised in Motley co and graduated from matador in 2011. I watched it live on my phone
Had 2 tornadoes myself never saw them since they were wrapped around in rain! No warning on the first one! Back in the 60's! Wiped out one of our cars and one injury from glass. Second one walking to work quick build up then the sirens went off got dark! Jack knifed a semi and took out power poles had to step around those got soaked to having to run to nearby storage warehouse first!
Invisible tornadoes are scary 😨 😳
Hi Daniel nice footage. Hey could I ask you a question about Hank? Is he done storm chasing for good now or is he just taking a year off or a break or something?
Hmmm I have seen Hank make more than a few appearances in Daniel's live streams this season. Literally in front of the camera, but also by radio communication or just Daniel telling us "Hank is on that cell right now", etc. So he definitely seems to still be chasing.
Hank was around a lot in Daniels Livestreams, chasing together but also splitting up while Chase Days. Had a great Last Chase together around 24th June. But i guess Hank will chase sometimes, so he has not stopped, while Daniel is back home again now.
Man, that bolt at 1:11 was a good one
This tornado was rated at EF3 not EF4.
always nice to miss a good chase then get caught up later should put a join button on your tube channel so we all get to watch
I have learned so much watching your videos. You are a special man for risking your life to inform and help others. Just a suggestion, have you thought about getting a loud speaker to help you when you are calling out if anyone needs help.
I'm not sure that would be helpful. Usually people only have their own voice (and not a loud speaker of their own) to respond with. So you should be somewhat in shouting distance anyway.
The motorcycle tho!? I swear if you zoom In you see hi, turn around but just keeps getting overtaken with rainy wind :-/
Rain wrapped tornadoes are the most dangerous for locals & towns. Very scary situations, esp when visibility is so low.
Very sad to hear that ppl lost their life😢
Great spotting, Dan. You did everything you possibly could given the circumstances.
Yeah when I spotted this on the radar, I knew this tornado was gonna be a violent one.
You and Pecos Hank…..superstars
And best Friends
Aussie spirit on show!
oi oi oi
Reminds me of the 2013 El Reno tornado. Deadly when you can’t make out the structure of the thing.
Wow! 😳 Honestly very scary! Sincere condolences to the families that lost loved ones. 🙏🕊️❤️
You were wise to leave that intersection when you did
THANK YOU Daniel for all you do to keep the public warned and safe and your efforts to help and save lives in general. Blessings to you on your journey bk home,,,,, 🙏❤🩹🙏
God Bless ya and the work you do
Some kind of light in the air, similar to the Rolling Fork car starting roughly at 18:17
Only 1 light, rolling fork both headlights could be made out. Fortunately probably a vattery powered light lofted and no lofted humans there
THE ALIENS
does your roof rack help with hail hitting your windshield? I've noticed most of your videos don't have broken windshields.
That last car wreck was seriously horrendous. I can’t imagine what G forces could cause such a “major sausage” as we Aussies would say.
My heart goes out to any community that goes through natural disasters like these
Wow. Tornados always look so surreal to me.
It’s crazy to think that this is one of the strongest tornadoes in Texas history and that says a lot they have had some doozies going way back
To Sherman Texas in the lates 1800s
Great coverage of this dramatic, but sad, Tornado !
That power. Got hit by rfd about two miles away. Driving away and still in it
At first I was surprised that I was hearing Australian voices, then I realized that its totally in-character for Australians to move to the US for the sole purpose of storm chasing
Thank you so much for what you do!!!
All i can say is BALLS! Cant wait for 2024...
From, Amarillo
Do anybody knows what happen the 2 ppls were in the RV?
Someone needs tu modify a troop transport vehicle for tornado chasing.
I have a qeastion, do you work with the NOAA as a storm spotter?
It never ceases to amaze me that people live in these places.
People have to lice somewhere we all can't be huddled in one place or places it would only make the weather pattern different. Where one place who doesn't get them likely would.
Stay safe and be prepared mother nature is mad 😡 now
At 17:00 that thing decided to start chasing you back. 😂
18:17 you see a little round light in the tornado on the right hand side. It shows up again a few seconds later further to the right, still inside the tornado....it looks like a single headlight? And I can't help but think about that motorcycle Daniel passed by right before going through Matador. :(
DID YOU SEE HOW IT JUST EMERGED OUT THE RAIN
This tornado killed 4 people.
You have amazing videos
And how convenient, they know what time it ends
I seen drone footage of where he was stopped at the crossroads and gas station. It was destroyed. It's best to go if you can't see these things. You can't run at the last minute when you aren't able to see it until the last 15-20 seconds. If it pops out of the rain running 40-60 miles an hour 1/4 mile away, that gives you 15-25 seconds.
LOST HER IN THE RAIN 😢
I was trying to count the center shortline marks as you drove..... couldn't count that fast!!! at about 7:40 Had to start counting by 2's :)
Good job and good rescue
At 11:17 you are sitting at an intersection with a gas station and an Alsups. Is that in Matador before the tornado hit? I recognize similar pictures of the aftemath and wondered if they were the same.
yes its in matador , looking back into the heart of the Monster
@@obsidianwing yep....he was out in front of it. He made a decision to head south, and that was a very critical moment because it kept him out of that tornado. It went right thru there. We drove thru that town two days after the storm. Both the convenience stores were still standing, but they both had damage. And right next to them, there were structures torn completely off the foundations.
Needed some chimmies to power up for the S&R.
Is this Tornado an EF5? It sure looks and acts like one.
ef3
Holy crap, I'm only a few minutes in, and it's crazy to be able to hear the low rumble of the tornado before we can even see it! I have my TV cranked up and I can almost feel it! Can't imagine how exciting and scary it must be to chase these monsters! If I lived in tornado alley, I would totally do one of those storm chase tours!
Oh my gosh. I'm so scared as they drive to the storm. Not too bright are you.
omg that car 29:06
Thumbs up
👍👍👍
Did the people you rescued make it okay? That was chilling to watch, and I'm not sure I could have kept that kind of calm through the entire thing like you did. There definitely would have been some tears coming from me.😅 I love the footage you got, though. Amazing job!
The people he rescued were my in-laws. We were the first house it hit & they were the last house that got hit. We are all good & starting to rebuild!! We are amazed at how God hand His hands over our small town & kept so many safe!!!
@@janamarshall7780 that's amazing to hear!! I'm so happy they are okay!!!!
People need to stop under rating this particular tornado. It was easily the strongest tornado the plains have seen in a very long time.
