38:57 that lightning bolt proved invaluable for the analysis done recently. You guys witnessed the fastest tornado forward motion right there.
Was thinking the same. I saw Hank’s video too.
Thank you so much for this footage and for not screaming the obvious every 5 seconds.
Saying this on every video has become equally as annoying as people who scream in tornado videos
@@davidvaughn9 Might be annoying...but not as annoying unless you have a terrible case of synesthesia in which every word you read literally screams at you in your head.
At least it's not bad as "if it looks like it's not moving...it's heading towards you."
While both comments are repetitive and annoying, both serve a purpose. One is to prevent otherwise great footage from being rendered unwatchable (because even though a fair amount of people stopped, there's always that one guy who loves himself he can't NOT be the center of attention even when there's a god damn tornado) and the other is to save lives. No offense taken, I'm just that frustrated with people screaming.
Professional broadcasters working as a team reporting calmly.
You don’t like hearing “OH MY GOD, TORNADO ON THE GROUNNDDD TORNADO ON THE GROUND WE GOTTA STAY CLEAR OF THIS THING, LOOK ITS RIGHT THERE TORNADO ON THE GROUND. OHHHH MYYYYY GOOODDDDDDD” every few seconds?😂
I love those ones!
Wow! Why can't all spotters be this intelligent, calm, precise and convey great footage? Well done guys.
All people are different, that's why. This type of stress bring out interesting personality traits. Until I stood face to face with something so humongous and deadly, I would not have guessed how I'd act in that moment.
12 years
Lol...I couldn’t agree more...This guy is showing leadership via mature and educated decisions! It brings to mind a compare and contrast situation of one specific person with a post graduate degree! Unfortunately, my opinion of RT rules what I watch, but he has brought that on all by himself...and certainly has nobody else to blame for continued loss of viewers. He is run by his ego and over the years has literally become dangerous to others , as well as himself. He shows little if any ability to control his Adrenalin high for sure...and many younger chasers mistakenly believe he is the model to follow. That’s fine for following his educational path, but his inability to remain calm without his screaming, and his uncontrollable behaviors and his idiotic rants make me worry for the safety of his young followers. I refuse to watch his antics ...and literally change to another channel if he is in a video...he also steals other chasers Thunder to have all eyes on his overinflated ego! It has become based on Profiteering and selling himself for money.
@@peppergrand1072 If you mean 12 years since this happened, it was actually 9 plus years. This June 16 will mark 10 years.
Surreal, and one of the best chases I’ve seen as far as narrative, safe driving, and kid friendly. Excellent job, masterful.
Safe driving too ! Right ! They're calm, professional. Awaiting 2021 vaccinated. 🎗️🍀🙏🌪️
Why would anyone show tornado videos to their kids? They need to learn to be afraid of tornadoes, they kill.
@@janhoyle1462umm because it's scientific and educational? I loved tornado videos as a kid, they fascinated me even then
Best storm chasers I've seen! You're not cursing every other word and not trying to get in the tornado! Great work guys!
I am always proud of a storm chaser who shows humanity. Saving lives is so important and some lose sight of that along the way. Great job and keep up the good work!
Absolutely AMAZING video!!! Some of the best tornado footage I've ever watched! Great job!!
19:50 That cloud motion is insane
@David Vance That video is one of my favorites, for the reasons you already know.
@David Vance If the 98 Columbus NE tornado hadn't lost energy right when it did, there would have been no tape. Luck.
@David Vance The two orbiting Pilger EF-4s spinning over the horizon is one of the most epic tornado scenes ever recorded.
I respect him for taking it seriously and showing concern for the rural residents. Like he said, just because it’s not a city doesn’t mean they’re aren’t homes out there.
Best Tornado footage I've ever seen by far. Simply incredible!
Lots of comments about the lack of screaming and then the annoyance of the comments about the lack of screaming, etc.
Question.. Has anyone who posted these comments here been this close to a tornado? Actively chased one?
I have. When one is that close to something so incredibly ethereal and deadly the amount of adrenaline flowing through ones body, combined with having to be experts at driving, avoiding other drivers, tornado size and path calculations, notifications and ensuring every camera is actually doing its job, results in people acting out of character and doing whatever it takes to keep all that emotion under control. Doing all these things accurately, and calmly, is almost superhuman. That's my opinion after being in a scenario somewhat similar.
It’s not the point. Point is that it downright annoying. You wanna watch a tornado cuz theyre cool but the screaming distracts from watching. I know if I was there I’d scream like lil beach myself but if I recorded it and uploaded it the sound would be edited
Very professional storm chaser. No "On da ground! On da ground! Tornado! Tornado! Time: (such & such!). Sounded like a great supervisor. Very respectful to his Camara man & others around him. Once or twice sounded a little hyped but gave instructions very respectfully and did not belittle the video photographer by getting nasty or "shushing" him like I heard on other videos. He was very informative, thoughtful, and kept a good head on his shoulders. He made sure he was giving accurate information to the media and was able to place himself & his associates in a safe position relative to the twisters, which is not always easy to do. I would love to be his camera man anytime & would love to go chasing with this guy. Great video. Great work.
it feels like a scene from the movie Twister but it's not. That's my home.
Yes, and you have my deepest sympathies. Whether or not you were in the town when it was hit, this must have been a traumatic event for you. I hope your heart & mind are continuing to heal after going through such a terrible day.
Loved that movie. Helen Hunt ! 🌪️
22:00 is a great shot while they're over the open field. Counting the days until the start of next season.
You guy's did awesome, great footage!! If there is more then 1 tornado it's the most dangerous storms. I hope everyone was safe and not injured or killed. Keep up the great work!!
stunning footage and something we all forget to say...thank-you.
I followed your live stream the day of these monsters. Horrific day for those in the path. Your footage is amazing. I hope your work will help save lives in the future. Thank you.
The images of two huge tornados side by side is incredible
@ 3:20 + amazing how fast those clouds and mesocyclone were rotating. It's so large that you would think it couldn't move that fast, but it really does move like that. That tornado was so damn scary looking
Yeah, no doubt. Gives you an idea of how fast the air near the ground where it's hottest, is moving. Just an incredible and ungodly amount of force!
this is one of the best tornado videos I've seen. nice work!
When he said the tornado was passing through Winser it was actually Pilger NE.
Two massive tornadoes, side by side. You'll never see that again, brother.
Wow, a tornado video you can watch with the sound on. Amazing.
at 20:14 the dude in the blue shirt almost got sliced by a sign
Holy crap, no kidding! That would've def left a mark! At first I thought it was a tumbleweed. But you can hear it hit the road, and that's not any kind of sound a tumbleweed would make against asphalt. It was moving pretty damn fast too, and was also a pretty decent size. I would have no problem believing that it would've easily cut that dude in half. I wonder if he/she knew how close they came?
Update:. Oh, duh... After further analysis, I've realized that the sound is in fact coincidental and that it's probably a tumbleweed, ha ha. Funny to imagine if it was a big steel sign slicing through the air, about to cut a full grown person in two. For some reason it's always funny when someone escapes a brutal, gruesome death by mere inches and never is the wiser. Don't know why that's so funny, but it is.
@@jonathanbecker8935 pretty sure that sound was coincidental, I can literally see through the tumbleweed in spots
It looks a flat solid square object when it hits the road. Tumbleweed would not have gravity pull it down that hard when it comes off of the incline to the right. The sound is coincidental though, something in the car we are travelling in.
@@P1nkR Definitely something very light, maybe a box
Watching 5 years later than you. Chicago.
Informed people, professional presentation, professional. Thank you.
Incredible video footage. Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
From 5 minutes in the storm is just georgous looking, love the footage you guys put it, keep up the good work, stay safe xxx
You stay safe from the virus 🦠 ok 👌
🌪️🎗️🍀
OMGosh, at 3:19 it looks like an ash cloud blasting out of a volcano.
Awesome job guys!
Thank you so much for not having any expletives in here!!
Incrível !!!
Thankyou for sharing. Awesome video. Thankyou for being so chill. No screaming😀
Amazing capture ~ Thanks 👍
Thank you for this video
13:51 Fantastic shot of the twins.
Next time maybe remove the lettering from the screen so I can see clearly.
I didn't even notice it so I cant tell what the problem is.
Andrew Grey Maybe it’s just you because I can see the video just fine.
Or maybe next time you could go in person and see it for yourself.
People steal content and he does not want his content stoled, hard work all down the drain for people to post it.
@@halxrd532 it's the ones who steal the footage who complain about the info on the screen, but act like regular watchers, think about it. Who else, like what regular watcher, would complain about it, unless it was actually in the way? Lol this guy doesn't fool me. Lmao
its beautiful, addicting and scary at the same time. Mother nature is amazing. I wish i could witness this really.
🌪️🍀🎗️🙏
Great description ! 🎗️🍀🌪️
These vids are incredible and so addictive. The darkened skies and tornado sirens are Soo creepy. Just the kind of creepiness that puts a pit in your gut. Can't imagine what it's like hearing the actual roar of these things up close and personal when driving around in that thick, humid air! The idea of a tornado occurring or continuing at night, after dark, is terrifying.
Now, whenever I see that darkening of the sky during really warm & humid weather, I look at the forecast and the local Doppler feed. So I guess I'm a much better informed consumer of tornados now, thanks to these fearless storm chasers/scientists. Thanks storm chasers!
Do your moms know that you do this?
Hopefully, guys like you will out around the country for 2021's Storm Season. Must've been new things learned. Chicago has vehicles that travel with live feeds to Chicagowans via broadcast and streaming services. Show the metro weather during storms. Thanks ahead of time, for 2021 ! Happy St. Pat's Day. 🍀
15:12 those twins are very impressives ! Great video...
Incredible motion in these clouds! I had to check if I had the video on x2 speed
This is an Absolute fantastic video!! Great job!!
Love the video, it's incredible footage. What I don't love is how full of himself Ben is. He has a team that he brought on to help him, literally so they can point out that of which he can't see since he's driving and constantly reporting updates. He tells them to watch for satellites, and when they tell you (for example) that there may be new rotation over you, you scoff at them and bark, "I know I'm watching." These guys have way more patience and self control than I do.
🎻🎻🎻
"Ben" is a bit of a control freak and certainly loves the sound of his own voice....
He is attempting to glorify himself really hard for the actual situation.. marketing I guess lol
I pray for the safety of guys like you. You’re out there trying to help save lives. Not like idiots trying to be big men just for thrills! Such as okstormchaser My hats off to you!!! Keep up the good work. Thank you for all you’re doing.
Thank God 🙏 for spotters ! 🎗️🍀🌪️
THIS IS PILGER, NEBRASKA, not Wisner. My childhood hometown.
Great!!! Incredible footage!
this guy needs to let the tornado be the star
agreed
They have to save lives that's the point of this
Rex Truegood Yes. Ben is annoying. Not sure I wouldn’t reach over the console with an elbow now and then to shut him up
Life saving work right here, bravo!!!
All at once, I'm crying over y'all's safety, and I'm excited over what y'all are witnessing!!!! I really do wish that I'd have been there with y'all whiile you were filming this. It says this was posted in 2014 of December. I hope there was no lose of life. And I hope that y'all are fine and were able to get back with your own families.
Love it!!!
Great narrative !!!
Whole mesocyclone looks to be on the ground! Nice reporting, driving & navigating. Beast of a tube!
You boy's. You did a good job documenting this storm in my backyard. If I was home at this time. I would of been right there with ya. I have 24 under me my belt and only one where we had to go under ground.
That was the one that hit Greensboro Ks. What a ride they/we went through.
Luckly my truck (as in Peterbuilt) were North enough to just miss it. Took some minor damage.
If only we had the technology to capture this on film.
Heed these warnings folk's. The amout of warning time and these courageous spotter's. We all can live through these...
Thank you
SLIMWANTEDMAN
This whole thing was like a Hollywood movie. Just insane having 2 wedge tornadoes side-by-side like that!!!
Well, Mr. Storm chaser, The grain silos are still round, it's just that the top part of each silo was ripped off. But they're still round.👍 The people can protect their lives but they can't protect they're properties if they're properties have been demolished by the two tornados.
Love your vids. Recommend putting website at the top so we can see bottom of the storm
20:30 the speed in which the new tornadoes are rotating and trying to become a full fledged tornado is massive. If the clouds are moving visually in rotation then the bottom of the cone is moving considerably much faster. The technology that is developed to actually record the speed of clouds or tornadic circulation from the ground will be a game changer and useful for individuals who chase or own property that witness approaching storms/tornadoes.
All about Ben. Benado on the gound.
Great video! So scary …. Hello from Minnesota ❤️
I agree you guys hot some fantastic video!!! You are brave, I grew up with them! Ain't no joke! Again nice video!
Incredible footage. Many tornadoes from one cell.. huge monster wedge. Wow. Hopes noone got seriously hurt.. god bless
Wow 😳 ! Huge violent tornadic outbreak. The complex is so violent, putting down multiple vortices along with vertical vortices.
Thanks for not cussing and yelling
Incredible footage.
Beautiful capture 😍
Great.....and to think I'm moving to O'Neil NE next month.....
There's only one thing wrong with this video,and it's the younger guy, he doesnt give the older man any chance to say anything, and sometimes he is very hateful to the older gentleman, he also was the one in another video saying go forward, stop,continue, through out the whole video, he got me so aggravated i had to turn the volume down. I'm sure the driver knew when to go forward,stop, continue ect.
I would agree but there's only one thing wrong that makes this video fake and thats the absence of debris and downed power lines
That was a hilarious dialogue though. When I first watched it I had no idea that the guy yelling was hanging out the back window. I thought he was just sitting in the backseat with Tornado Tourette’s 😂
Nathan Larue did you watch the whole video? :/ ...there are houses literally being chunked through the air how did you not see any debris lol
@@nathanlarue8546 fake? Are you some kind of imbecile?
@@nathanlarue8546 whatever you mule milkn chuckle nut.
why would anyone dislike this? this was amazing film of mother nature's worst weapon other than a pure hurriicane. This was awesome to see, I just am sorry for those who lost their lives and property. Great job for those filming this. I wonder if they are still doing it ?
Awesome job guys
Im from southdakota my gawd the craziest thing i ever saw this footage is incredible
I love how meteorologists say "violent tornado." ..as though it is not obvious. My question is... Have you ever categorized a tornado as "docile" ???
EF-0.00028 landspout with 60 mph winds.
@@josephastier7421 it can still throw an umbrella at the beach and kill somebody
Legend has it he's still very concerned and extremely worried to this day. This would be great chaser footage if that dude would just quit talking.
Fantastic work,. Amazing footage, that woman must be crazy walking her dog when there are torandos going pass. I hope everyone was okay.
I'm assuming she is used to seeing them
In my opinion, this is one of, if not the most amazing supercell in modern history. Absolutely phenomenal event. Cannot possibly imagine if this had happened instead over the densely populated southern suburbs of OKC.
would like to see a special storm chaser / first responder tool made: .... a lazer sighter that could reference your location to target debre/structure and use GPS to report the sight of potential injury to authorities.... is no reason something like that cannot be made affordable... or even installed in future cell phones along with the camera for that matter... but.... if you could sight a destroyed structure, click a button ... on the move and be sure at minimum it had been reported... would be a nice thing. ...if you could simultaneously deliver that information to your news station...or weather service... sure wouldn't hurt.
seems to me... and considering the number of people who love storm spotting/chasing.. seems like a number of opportunities there for some industry...
would require you to market it well... and these videos would probably be one of many great opportunities for that.
technology is evolving so fast. I am sure this will a normal thing soon using the GPS. It can be so helpful.
Awesome video! 😎
What great work ! 🌪️
amazing!
Very awesome footage
Supposedly the roping out of the thinner tornado moving around the bigger one,was recorded as the fastest moving tornado over ground witnessed, which is estimated at top speed moving 95mph as it moves left to right in video, moving in front of the larger tornado.
Which I saw on Pacos Hanks documentary on a specific subject and gave credit to Ben and his channel and co-chasers in the car/truck pursuing the multi visible tornadoes.
Everything I've typed is possibly incorrect on the names responsible for recording the fastest moving tornado over ground but the actual fact is correct, 95mph ,pretty quick moving cyclone of airflow.
Being this madness happens every year,..how can ANY town in Tornado alley have ANY Historical Buildings left?
Pure unadulterated luck
You have a very cool storm chasing mannerism, which makes it much easier for us to appreciate these storms with you. Can’t stand the screaming and yelling that some of the other chasers do in their vehicles. Really ruins the experience.
What madness. How do you chase two EF4 tornadoes? Pick one, i guess
My Sister was in Moore and was one of the people who was caught in a traffic jam of adrenaline junkies posing as certified storm chasers. There are WAY too many out there and now it's a family vacation to go following storm chasers making it even worse. There should be a rigorous educational course to complete before you start considering yourself professional, otherwise there shouldnt be adrenaline junkies impeding the ability of the local residents evacuating to save their and their family's lives.
Absolutely beautiful video OMG 😲 scary but beautiful
20:23 "just trying to get this information out to you so folks can protect their lives and property". How are they going to protect their PROPERTY from a TORNADO?????
This should go without saying but you yelled so i have to. A home can be rebuilt but great great grandma's pearl necklace can't.
Family heirlooms, pets, pictures can all go in storm cellars with you. Hence, Lives & Property protected.
Guns duh
Anything that can be moved duh lol
When the mesocyclone itself becomes a multiple vortex tornado.
1/4 to 1/3 mile-wide multivortex tornadoes capable of EF5 damage. They are absolute monsters.
@@cubby091398 You could tell when the first wall cloud reproduced and came back down after the second one had already turned into a wedge; that it came back down as a potential EF5. When you see tornadoes pull down their own wall clouds accompanied by very strong RFD winds, you know it's definitely at EF5 strength.
@@Benjaminberino This tornado reminds of me the Andover, KS F5 tornado on April 26, 1991. The video of the Andover tornado is mindblowing.
Great tornado footage. However, the location and size of the website and counter undermine the experience. Consider a smaller font and take it down once in a while. great footage.
I want to know when they realised that was Pilger getting torn apart, instead of Wisner?
You had the chance to help those people at 43:49, but you passed right by them. Then you have the audacity to say you there to help? That's just sad.😪
This is so crazy but very cool to watch
Two full powered tornadoes at once like this is the stuff of nightmares.
I have a recurring dream of hundreds of tornadoes on the ground around me.
The twin shot, 14:00..
Wow!
Most insane footage ever!!
Well I hate to say this but a lot of people may not have an underground shelter or a basement so by u saying that those people that didnt have underground protection were probably freaking out... just sayin!!
15:35 Dude, you’re in Nebraska. Everyone is aware of tornadoes here. Lol. Great footage, though, and it’s nice to see you guys care about those affected by these storms.
@StormChasingVideo Who are the people that you randomly call while your chasing? Is it meteorologists, news agencies or some type of government officials?
Nevermind, I listened for 5 more minutes and found out myself. This time it was CNN and Wether Channel. Mad respect for doing what you do to try to save lives!
Excellent.🤔. video well done
great day to walk the dog
