Terrifying Dash Cam Tornado Footage From Lincoln, Nebraska
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 พ.ค. 2024
- This footage of the complete destruction of a building was filmed by a dash cam in an unoccupied vehicle in a parking lot during the Lincoln, Nebraska tornado on April 26, 2024. First, the trees disappear, then the building is ground up by the twister, spitting huge debris out of it, as it passes directly in front of the camera.
The real-time version is followed by a version at 1/4 speed.

A TH-cam video that wasn’t clickbait for once and lived up to its name. Scary stuff.
Brought to us by AccuWeather, who accepts video's from people who experience weather related disasters. I like it! The video speaks for itself.
I'm so sick of clickbait.Anyone who clickbaits is someone that cant be trusted in anything esle.
Wow! You can almost feel the amount of pressure being emitted by that tornado!
Check out Ryan Hall y'all, he is great! They do storm chasing I watch him with the tornado stuff very informative and entertaining
@@Tempe1962 Well said
*This is old school TH-cam style: No clickbait, no unnecessary commentary, no annoying music, just delivering the content as stated in the title.*
*I sure do miss those days!*
lol
I wish I could like this comment twice! I miss the simplicity of the “old days” before everyone became pro videographers with their cell phone cameras or GoPro 🙄
It’s like the news used to be, News and not a narrative.
"YO it's ya Boi MrTwista spinning in with another video for you guys but before we get into the video which trust me guys is absolutely INSANE stuff make sure to like the video and subscribe to the channel to get more crazy tornado vids just like this one. So without further ado guys let's get into today's sponsor..."
Same!!!
I live in Nebraska, not too far from where this happened. My family knows a couple of individuals who used to work in that building, and it’s crazy to see how popular and terrifying this video is. The night of that tornado was one of horror, and one we certainly won’t forget in a long time.
so move!
@@countermeasuresecurityengi9719 excuse me? I’m not moving away from Nebraska because of natural disasters I can’t control. There may not be too much to this state, but it’s still home to me.
Pretty crazy that you will forget something like this
@@countermeasuresecurityengi9719
This is the dumbest comment I’ve read. I’m not surprised that you don’t know this because you’re not very bright but I’ll tell you anyways…. No matter where you go there are natural disasters!
I wouldn't say it's a building. A proper building can stand up to this and maybe have some damage, but this was a paper house or whatever. It's a joke to me that the government and companies are risking people's lives because of poor construction.
Unreal how it just completely leveled that entire building in seconds! 😮
Right? What chances would people in such a building have, for surviving? Quite sobering to see this clip.
No screaming storm chaser yelling in your ear, no annoying unnecessary music. Doesn't get any better than this.
Man you seem like a real fun person to hang out with.
Amen.
@@tomdiets5079 And you must be a 3 year old
@@tomdiets5079 Looks like more people agree with his comment than yours. Some of these storm chasers can get a bit over dramatic but it helps bring in the simple viewers like yourself and donations.
Agreed, just ominous ambient sound like Clem Shultz' legendary video! He didn't even breathe harder!
The speed at which that building got deleted is something. This video is one of the best examples I've seen at how destructive and deadly a tornado can be.
Look at Joplin
Less than ten seconds
I completely agree. This should play in a small box while a tornado warning is being broadcast.... "this is what we're talking about! Seek shelter now, MEANS NOW!"
What was it made out of? Paper mache?
I like how you said “deleted.”
We just went through a tornado here a few days ago in Tx. It hit 1,000 ft from my home. I've been through 3 hurricanes and countless tropical storms - NOTHING like that. At least in combat you're somewhat detached in-the-moment and/or able to take action that may affect the outcome. The scariest moment of my or my kid's lives. My heart goes out to those affected, truly.
Seeing that huge air conditioner heat exchanger getting tossed around like a salad with 44gal drums in the mix was frightening
That single screw holding onto the license plate was the star of the show.
Crazy how tornadoes work. Some came across my neighborhood in 1988. Took down trees, sucked manhole covers out of the road in front of the house but, left my folding lawn chair sitting on my deck in the back. Crazy!
I had an early 1970’s VW type-3 square back that had one screw holding the license plate on just like that car. I replaced the right screw three times and it would be gone in a few days. I sold the car, they sold it and I met it again about four years later when yet another bought it and was fully restoring it. It still was missing the right screw on the plate. Through the “Idiot Book” repair book that went with it and the added notes, it was determined it was my former car. We had put it together from a few cars, which explained the confusion when he started to restore it. I told him I gave up on the screw. He had tried in vain. I seen it around town for a long time after and knew it immediately by the wobbling crooked plate.
Seeing the one in this video, almost makes me wonder if that’s the great-grand-car of my old car…
I’m going to go ahead and give that rear window of the Toyota Avalon that title. Considering each and every other window in this video didn’t stand a chance 😂
My thought exactly.
Put that on mamas 😂
Took 6 months to build and only 7 seconds to get rid of.
I could not believe how fast that happened and I don't think I was breathing while watching it.
Americans can't build real houses, just cardboard.
Makes you realize we as men and women aren't so powerful. We can build and make all we want, but it is no match for the weather or God.
That building was built by three pigs, only thinking the wolf was their problem.
@@JoePCool14 "god" come on bruh
Ain't no need to pull religion into this
Those car windows broke instantly with pressure. Imagine hiding in your car and getting sucked out of your car window by the tornado.
I couldn't tell if it was the pressure or flying debris that broke the windows.
@@CharlesGervasi Yeah, it was definitely debris! Shit! Imagine getting caught outside in something like this? You'd be torn to shreds!
@@ib1ray It could be both debris and pressure. Because at 1:35 back of that truck window popped out without nothing hitting it.
@@Mike-no6ii well with the amount of debris I saw flying around it could have even been a screw traveling you know 100 maybe 200 mi an hour and I believe those windows are designed to shatter I know the windshields are but I'm not positive about the back ones but either way I certainly wouldn't want to be caught in it lol
@@ib1ray True. That would suck to be caught in it lol
One of the best videos on a tornado doing what they do, with no ignorant dubbing over by individuals' voices to put up as click bait to make a name for themselves on YT, or any social media outlet!
Seeing that massive rooftop AC unit flying through the air is insane
Yep. Looks like it was only the top shell though with the condenser fans and motors. Still most likely 500+ pounds being thrown around like nothing.
At first on the thumb nail it looked like a pill blister pack but after watching the video and pausing I realized what it was.
I thought it was a speaker pack or something
off the roof of the building , almost hit the Dakota that is most likely totaled from the other stuff that hit it
Thanks for that. I watched that part a couple of times trying to figure out what it was. It looked like it weighed nothing. It had to have weighed alot, even if it was just the top of it. Kind of like those 55 gallon drums that so easily were flying around. Scary powerful wind!
HVAC guy here. The view at 0:26 shows the giant roof mounted 6 fan condenser coil flying like a toy. I've had to relocate these on a roof and it took 6 of us to move it. That is just insane to see something of that size getting airborne like that. It's also made to have air passing through the coil under it, which makes it even more impressive to understand just how much air flow it took to move it.
I just noticed… I THINK it hit the front of the truck on the right of the screen when it lands. If so, that poor truck got a bunch of damage that we don’t see besides it’s windows being blown out from the wind alone.
I believe its safe to say it was a fan of the tornado.
Thought that was CGI, the way it just disappeared. Thank you
A coil is a component of a condensing unit. I see an entire unit flying, not just the coil.
I feel like an hvac guy should know that.
That's like me saying look at the car tire go flying, when it's the entire car...
it was removed so fast it still had refrigerant in it too.
One of the top 3 best tornado videos EVER.
What are the other 2?
Thank you for sharing this. Really amazing.
This is the Garner Industries plant. No serious injuries reported from inside, but 62 workers were laid off due to no more plant to work at (though they're reportedly being offered compensation)
For what?
@@Pobsta-de7hb What? Because their plant was destroyed and they don't have a job.
Yup… most companies have business insurance- not just for the damage to the property but also for lost business due to unavailability for a while. Glad everyone is ok
It's crazy the tornado came, took the building, and left. I'm thankful no one was seriously hurt. Still a rough road ahead.
Thanks for the update 😊
Thank you for not dubbing any insipid music over this footage.
B-b-but hip hop!
@@maxivy 💀👌
Ditto thank you.
No music, no screaming, no broccoli-haired host explaining the clip for 10 minutes before watching it…this is what tornado videos should be.
Agreed!!
What amazes me is how quick that building was destroyed, but yet every single car is perfectly sitting there still.
You might want to look again, at the cars in the front row specifically.
Yeah, some of those cars did take damage, including that Dodge pickup, that lost its rear and front driver side window
Mass produced cheap buildings. These things collapse all the time and kill the poor amazon, fedex, ups workers working inside. And usually theyre told they cant leave because its safer inside.
The white car up front is not in the same position after the tornado.
Did you notice how the glass of the cars blew in. I presume under the pressure change.
Wow how terrifying! Praying no one hurt or killed! The building is gone. Omg..
This is bar-none, the BEST tornado videos I have ever seen. A perfect example of the awesome power of a tornado doing its thing. And no annoying music or screaming commentary. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this video is worth a gazillion words! Kudos to the car owner whose camera shot this video, and kudos to AccuWeather for making it available on TH-cam!
Almost exactly what I just said as well. This was perfect!
Check out Pecos Hank. You'll find better. This is for sure S tier though.
Were you rubbing on your nipples during this? You got way excited brother
Yes, please, everybody should put their cameras In the car and go inside so we don't have to listen to your pitiful vocabulary when making exclamations.
Guess you never suffered from them then!!!!
What gets me is the calm, blue sky and white puffy clouds that appear right behind the fury and horror of the tornado.
A lot of hook echos, where the vast majority of tornados are formed, tend to be at the trailing edge of the storm.
Same here what a force of nature
Read this as "furry"
My thoughts exactly!!! 😮
That's true. Tornadoes usually pull the cloud cover with them like a blanket. My older relatives who only had radio during storms always said they knew a tornado wouldn't be a threat when it would start raining steadily straight down like normal. A tornado is going to suck cloud cover and rain up into it so rain can't fall normally. A nearby tornado will tend to blow caught-up water _sideways_ in its wake. If it's raining straight down like normal you're usually good - it's when the rain stops suddenly and the air goes still but the clouds are moving fast...that is often a warning signal to take shelter immediately. And that's why you see the videos and tropes of midwesterners walking outside during tornado warnings to look at the sky and get the "feel" whether a tornado is headed toward them or not.
Some of the best up close tornado footage out there 👌 my prayers and thoughts to all who went through these monsters this past and the last few weeks.
This is a great video upload thank you for actually giving us a great video and you slowed it down which is phenomenal This was a wonderfully uploaded video thank you
Wow. You weren't kidding when you said the building was "ground up." Out of all tornado footage, I've never seen a building so systematically wiped out, almost like a magic trick.
There is more of the building left than this angle shows, now it's in terrible conditions but from the road the other walls are up. I was up talking to cleanup crews in our farm fields just north of this just a few hours ago.
Watched it 3 times because I couldn't believe how fast it disappeared.
Tadaaaaa😂😂
I worked with engineers who used to travel to Japan for months at a time. When we had an earthquake where I live -- while I was 50-something flights up -- they fluffed it off, saying buildings are built to sway with earthquakes. Buildings in tornado-prone areas should be built to withstand tornados. 🌪
Thanos
I'm always amazed at how selective tornados are in their destruction.
They are not sentient, it didn't select anything lol if it's in the path of the tornado, it gets destroyed.
Entropy’s finest example

@@rebeccaholloway3066
Ah entropy, one of those words where I can study the definition and still not really understand it.
It's like they almost got brains or a magnetic attraction to certain objects
OMG! Incredible! I always wondered what a tornado looked and felt like, up close and personal! Poor trees. Serious stuff!
Good gravy, this is, if not the best footage I've ever seen, it's pretty damn close. Absolutely incredible!
As so many have said, this is the best perspective of a tornado a video has ever produced.
Almost seems fake. Entire building destroyed yet all cars don't even budge?
1:33 to 1:36 slow it down to .25 speed and watch the top right above the silver pickup. That looks like a truck radiator riding the breeze. That's crazy.
@@Daniel-ld3zi You don't know how tornadoes work do you... the cars were not in the path of the tornado while the building was.
@@Daniel-ld3zi It looks like the actual tornado went right over it. If it was 30 feet to the left or right the building would probably still be standing.
@@n3v3rforgott3n9 keyboard warrior over here
Crazy how precise they can be. Building, gone. Temp license plate, still there.
Thanks for replaying and slowing it down. I was literally second-guessing myself if there was just a building there, it went so quickly. Confirmed.
I ain't gotta watch no more tornado vids and wonder....now I've seen all I can see about a tornado 💯🤧
Bro! I was about to say the same thing about the temp plate.
@@Das1Niperthats not a temp plate, thats our ugly ass license plate in Nebraska
Wow!! That is one of the clearest videos of a close tornado that I’ve ever seen!
It's incredible to see how power mother nature actually has. That tornado just went through that building as if it was a giant cardboardbox, removing it from the landscape in mere seconds. The owner of the car must have been for not one but two surprises as he came back to the car seeing all the debris and the dashcamfootage that had been recorded.
It doesn't even look like the tornado directly hit the building either. It looks like the building was side swiped by the tornado and still got destroyed 😢😢
DAM! And a side note - A dashcam in a parked car puts the entire newz industry to shame.
I drove through a large dust devil a few months ago in Western Colorado, and i wish I would of had a dash cam to catch it on video because it was a pretty cool thing to watch, and I don't think I should if drove through it either lol
Fake news media
@@michellem7300 I've read that a few dust devils have done F-3 damage. That also means it could toss a car quite well.
All due respect, dash cam videos are great when they catch something amazing like this, but they don't get the one on one interviews with people making headlines like the news industry does. Let's not dismiss an entire industry and many people's profession just because a parked car happened to catch something fantastic.
@@franclin0 My main complaint iz the stupid big banner at the bottom. They almost alwayz cover significant detailz and action. Tornadoz especially, usually all you can see iz swirling grayness.
I have been a fan of tornado videos for a very long time, and this has to be one of the best pieces of footage I have ever seen.
I was just going to say the exact same thing. Very easy to see the rotation and the debris moving within it. Very close up. Great stuff.
As a Brit, my knowledge and etc of tornadoes is 0. This is insane !
@@Jacob-qt1nt Yes, London has had tornadoes, including the earliest reported tornado in England in 1091. The 1091 tornado may have been one of the strongest recorded in the British Isles, with modern assessments suggesting it was a T8 on the TORRO scale, which is roughly equivalent to an F4 on the Fujita scale. The last tornado which caused significant damage in London was in 1954. It injured six people and ripped off the roof of the Gunnersbury London Underground station. Rare, but you do get them.
@@bestself2438 interesting, thanks for the info 🤝
This is an advantage of cameras being everywhere now. Eventually somebody is going to have a GoPro on their head and we’re going to watch them get picked up or something.
We grew up in the Midwest now in Seattle Washington Prayers for those in the South and Midwest Hope everyone stays safe 🙏during the hurricane season. Prayers for this storm to quietly leave! 🤫😢Peace to All😮❤
I lived in Nebraska for 28 years - i commuted to Lincoln while working for nursing agencies, but i lived in Grand Island & Columbus, plenty of this in Grand Island, there were sooo many tornadoes! But this video is unbelievable!!

Amazing how the difference in 20 feet at the edge of the tornado goes from thrashed cars to perfectly fine
Not sure about perfectly fine, 😂 the two silver rides infront of the cam lost their rear windows. Still you are correct, tho its more like 60 feet. :)
...Truely amazing video! ❤
I thought the same!
The dashcam car lost its left side windows and was most likely was a write-off along with all the cars in that parking lot.
@@axiomic well said. File that insurance claim!
Acts of god are typically not covered by car insurance
Absolutely incredible footage thankfully free of any commentary. As usual in these scenarios, the events speak for themselves.
Oh my gosh. So quick. Much love to you in the Midwest.
That was an EF3 hitting a 115,000 square foot steel construction building. It, with all the equipment inside, was “completely destroyed”. Next time you hear about a place being hit by something like an EF5, remember what this looked like. Then imagine the hell of an EF5 which has 5x the average kinetic energy of an EF3 (20TJ versus 100+ -source “Kinetic Energy of Tornadoes in the United States” Tyler Fricker & James B. Elsner).
This was terrible (and no minor miracle that the workers inside all survived), but that a Tornado can be so much worse is terrifying.
This tornado looks like it had the strength of an EF-5 but didnt hit any significant structure. The EF-scale is not based on wind speed but on damage to structures and how well-built those structures were.
Are you sure about the steel construction? Sure there was some “steel” and aluminum used in places, but it does not appear to have been made with any significant I beam steel supports.
@@28th_St_Air I do believe you are correct and that's why this tornado wasn't rated EF-4.
God bless you and your sourcing on a TH-cam comment. You are an intellectual.
@@michaelellis5109 That’d be an EFU for “unknown”. I’ll just quote Wikipedia to save time:
“Better standardizing and elucidating what was previously subjective and ambiguous, it also adds more types of structures and vegetation, expands degrees of damage, and better accounts for variables such as differences in construction quality. An "EF-Unknown" (EFU) category was later added for tornadoes that cannot be rated due to a lack of damage evidence.”
In short, while it’s based on damage due to winds, they can rate it based on said damage to a multitude of things including foliage & vegetation (e.g. an EF5 stripping bark off tree trunks). The purpose of which is to be able to rate wind speed and relative destructive power.
This is one of the most awesome videos I have seen! Just a clear view as a tornado comes by and takes everything with it. Just a static view, natural actual sound, no announcer person saying obvious things, no constant zooming in and out camera nonsense...just...a great one! Tops!
How observant.
Agreed!
And probably just watch a bunch of people die.

Wow I would have thought that warehouse looks like the safest place to be.... it was gone in seconds
Great Job Grayson, always good to hear valid Objections.
Unstoppable. Gone in 20 seconds. All silent again. Absolute power of nature. 🤯 amazing footage.
Tornadoes are so much scarier than hurricanes. At least hurricanes give you several days of notice they’re approaching - tornadoes just appear above you and you’re gone.
You must be from Florida. Lol. I am and I said the same thing growing up
I survived a hurricane and was hit with several tornadoes at the same time, that was fun!😁
We just moved to Florida and was told the same thing by my brother who has lived here for over 20 years. He said we'll have plenty of warning to vacate the premises if we want, but it's the tornadoes that spawn from the hurricanes that catch folk by surprise.
I was dead in the middle of hurricane Andrew. the weather instrument on tamiami airport blew off at 200mph and it lasted a long long time. scariest thing I ever lived through. was like being in a tornado for 2 hours. ripped the roof off our apartment. was hiding in the closet waiting to die. they effed up big time telling us it might go to cat 3 and it turned into a cat 5. tornados popping down like a fist punching the earth.
@@pawsforeva4065 I was in a hurricane with tornados. I went into the tornado shelter and the hurricane flooded out the shelter and I died. Luckily my respawn point was up north.
Remember this when your Amazon warehouse is refusing to let you go home under tornado threat..
"Just head into the bathrooms, you'll be safe"
To be fair they kind of can't refuse anything lol. You have the right to leave any job if you really want to
@@MadDogTM Careful, your privilege is showing
You’re safer not to try to go home but to instead go to someplace in an inner area surrounded by cement walls such as a storm shelter, bathroom or basement. He’s not showing his privilege. He’s showing his intelligence. Don’t repeat trendy phrases like you’re a fool. It’s the person who got you to respond in attack like that who is actually hurting you.
An old timer once told me, “there is no safe place in these warehouses, they just want us all in the same spot so they can locate all the bodies quickly and move on, without an expensive, drawn out search and rescue with media coverage”
Stone cold truth.
Wow! Best footage I’ve ever seen. You can even see the windshields shattering and the window of the car with the dashcam breaks and leaves pieces on the dashboard.
Incredible footage. The closest you’ll get to the eye of a tornado. You know its powerful when you see an entire building decimated and an A/C unit goes flying by.
If you ever happen to be inside a building like this during a tornado - stay far away from the walls on all sides!
These types of buildings are know as tilt-up concrete structures. They are very heavy concrete walls that are held vertically upright by the roof's truss system.
When the roof system fails due to the large pressure difference caused by the extreme winds at 1:14, the walls all fall like dominos.
Common examples of these buildings are most warehouses or large retail places like Walmart, Costco, etc.
wow, good to know, thanks!
Where should one go? If the walls aren’t safe to then the middle but that will be swirling debris and collapsed roof that didn’t blow completely away. If I’m one of these box stores what’s the safest bet to run to?
And thanks for the info btw. I had no idea that’s why they so often are flattened.
@@mmcnatt these buildings have a section that is reinforced. In your employment orientation it probably was mentioned if you work at a Walmart or something. Easy to miss. Ask your supervisor where you should go in case of a tornado warning. Either way find out. Could save your life from building collapse.
I was in a Target once during storm when the sirens went off. They made everyone go to a certain spot in the middle of the store, which I thought was odd at the time because it didn't feel protected. But I guess if the walls can collapse like that it makes sense. I remember they locked all of the doors so no one could leave while it was happening.
This is probably one of the most important tornado footage ever recorded.
That and the footage that was never found from Tim Samaras, his son, and Carl Young
Amazing video. Thanks.
No words! 😮 I hope no one was hurt!
This is hands down the best video of a closeup direct hit No question. I’ve been wanting to see a close up of a tornado eating trees like this for many years.
It's a oddball too. Can't say I've seen one that strong and that small, at least from what we could see. 20 feet made the difference from it destroying everything, to where it looks like you could have stood right next to the filming car
Go Fins!

@@itzderrio
Will check that out
Yeah, the way that tree immediately snapped at its trunk was something to behold. As a tree person, I can say that thing is so strong. 😮
Finally, a video that is actually "terrifying", Great post. Thankyou
Just with how fast that building got deleted.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE footage!
This is by far the most impressive view on and of a Tornado I ever saw! Wow!! What a power and how freaking fast this thing came!
This is a great example of the danger of a tornado..... The flying debris. Thanks for sharing.
That stuff will get ya every time. Ron White said it best when describing the dangers of a tornado... "...it's not THAT the wind is blowin' !!!! It's WHAT the wind is blowing ! ! "
I work with steel. Everytime we have a tornado drill, I feel it's pointless, because the cinderblocks of our shelter aren't gonna do much against the 10,000 to 20,000 lb coils of steel if a tornado did go through.
I'm getting my flying car, at last!
That Toyota suv license plate is hanging on for dear life. Also amazing to show how the most violent place of a tornado, is itself. As all those cars still sit there by the end, the building completely gone, and all those cars will be a able to drive off as if nothing happened, besides some having some dents or broken windows. Absolutely wild
There’s a white car in a forward most row just to the left of the main car in our view, but ends up being nearly flipped and rotated about 90°. That one may not be driving condition. Hard to say.
Except for the massive AC condenser that flew off the roof and landed on someone's hood. That one may not be driving condition. Hard to say.
@@gordoeinstein Nah it's probably fine
It seems like it was still safer to be in the cars than the building
@@DugrozReports lot of the cars have a bunch of broken windows. that glass is gonna make an uncomfortable car ride.
Leveled that building in seconds! Crazy!
OMG.........the way it just ripped that building to shreds like it was nothing...is crazy. Uprooted the trees and whole. Many people dont understand how fast those things move
It’s amazing the relative calmness after the tornado has passed through. Just an eerie and unsettling silence.
🤔💭😱
Best video of the destructive power of a tornado I have ever seen. Short, no yelling or talking in a two minute video. Perfect 👍
You mean the annoying as fck Dominator 3 team, who yell like bitches the whole time.
That's insane!! 🤯 that twister was massive.
😲😲😟😟 Wow, that was fast, and devastating. I can't believe just how quickly it all gets flattened. No warning no time to run or hide. It's fascinating to watch if you're NOT involved...hope everyone came out alive.
Am I the only one who thought the tornado was in the background behind the building coming at it? Did not expect the tornado coming from the left side of the screen.
I thought that too
Me too. It almost looked like it swooped around at the last minute and then reversed.
Same here
It’s because all the air was being sucked into it so just before the tornado arrives all the heavy wind is going towards the tornado.
Usually a tornado comes off as a hook to that supercell y are looking at in front of us. That storm you see spawned it but there’s a special section out front of it that forms a hook with the Rostropovich in the curved part.
That was surreal. I have seen countless remarkable videos of tornadoes, but none with a perspective quite like this. And the way the car shook like there was an earthquake only emphasized the power of tornado even more.
they were shaking from getting hit by stuff the dash cam car lost a window ( or more) on the drivers side
I played it 5 times, I'm not entirely convinced this is real and not AI /CGI . I know the tornado happened I just don't know if this is a real video of it, most videos have so much small debris and dirt and the clarity of this is what's doubting me, of course I could be wrong
Wow.
I drove through 1 in '09 or '10 here in San Antonio. A wall of water stopped my car from 20 mph to 0 in a heartbeat. Lost no glass but God was it hard to breathe for a moment. 😵💫

It is so difficult to wrap the mind around how wind can be capable of lifting things that cranes struggle with, and applying more force to the side of a building that a wrecking ball. All in an instant.

This clip is good! It will go well with the other close calls and direct hits/imtercepts.
Let me tell you...there are videos where the storm hits the house of the filmer and some of those direct hots blow this out of the water.
TLDR: tornado snobs lol.
Typos...you know i hate em.
Superb video. Not covered up with banners .or words..the sound isn't completely obliterated..it's all there. Even a slow motion replay thats not destroyed . I feel like I sat in the car and watched it myself. I watched it over and over. Like button too.
Oh my goodness! Amazing footage! The incredible power of those tornadoes is something everyone should fear and pay more attention to weather reports.
Omg. I was not expecting that. Listening with headphones on made it more intense.
Yet another reason I tell people why having a dashcam is a must for me! That was amazing footage to randomly capture.
I’m wondering why it was on? Was someone in the car???
@@marianjohnson9057I have one that runs 24/7 but it's motion activated
@@marianjohnson9057 The camera activates when the car moves.
@@marianjohnson9057 you can hook up the dash cam to the car's battery and it will record when it senses movement 24/7.
Dashcams are only for those who still belive in time.
This was one of the best footage of a tornado up close
The future is so bright you gotta where shades?
The large debris swirling around the funnel looked like something out of a movie.
This is one of the best tornado videos I have seen.
This tornado immediately shared this video with all his tornado friends and said, "That's how it's done boys!"
🤣🤣🤣
Lmao
"Hold my Beer "
The speed and completeness of the destruction is mind blowing. One minute there’s a building, and within seconds no building. Nature demands respect.
You'd think being in tornado country, they'd build things to a bit better standards. That building looks like it wouldn't survive a strong windy day, never mind a tornado.
nature demands nothing. It just is.
@gorak9000 Buildings are constructed here to be easy to clean up and rebuild after a tornado because there isn't any practical way to build something that can withstand one directly.
Unless something is constructed like a bomb shelter it's going to get destroyed.
Even very well built brick or block buildings get wiped out within seconds.
@@gorak9000 The odds of a building getting hit are far less than once every 100 years. To make it 'tornado' proof is next to impossible and would have an enormous cost to even attempt it.
@@bigdog8008 The old Atlas and Nike sites are tornado proof.
Wow! Though we couldn't see it actually breaking, but we saw the bits of glass go across the dash as the car window broke. Wow! Powerful stuff.
My prayers for all those affected by these terrible storms there.
How only one person died in this outbreak is a testament to the SPC, NWS, the media and public awareness. Incredible video and the AC unit sailing by tells you the strength of this tornado.
This was insane to watch in slow motion
i was convinced by the thumbnail that this was a blister-pack of pills inside the car
Aren't those AC units about 5000 lbs? Insane.
@@WeeWeeJumbo That's what it looked like to me too! Glad someone explained what it actually was.
Testament to God was protecting them…
And this is why I won't live anywhere without a basement. 😢
And then the basement floods.😅
I wouldn't live in Tornado alley. Even if you have basement, your whole house is destroyed.
This is why I'm glad I live in Australia, where we don't have these monsters ripping everything to shreds.
@@m6666 however you have lethal spiders, snakes :)
i live in the alley and what we will do if a serious tornado gets close we are gonna book it and leave. You just gotta have plans for every possibility
I have no words!!!! Just wow!!!!
My son and I survived a 1/2 mile wide EF4 in 2011 in a heavily treed older suburban neighborhood. I remember walking out of the basement and not seeing one house or tree left standing. I heard screams coming from everywhere and feeling the sick drop in my stomach when I realized they were coming from the rubble of all my neighbors former homes. My 7 year old was never the clingy type but after the tornado it took an entire week before I could get him to sleep alone again and 2 years before he stopped sobbing every time a tornado siren went off.
That license plate hung on for dear life, and survived to tell the tale.
For anyone interested, that large object with the 6 fans mounted that comes into view at 0:26 sec is a cooling bank for the HVAC system of the building in the background. You can see it get ripped from the roof and sent in a counter clockwise direction just before coming back into view and rocking the silver pickup as it hits. It weighs about 800 to 1000 lbs btw.
we know from the guy that said it earlier. He's the same reason you know too. Bots like you make zero sense
@@T1cksandLeeches - no clue what or who you're talking about there, sport.
I know because I watched the damn video.
And so what? What if I was simply parroting what someone else already stated. Why would that trigger you to be compelled to tell me as much? What could possibly make you feel the need to do that?
What, are you the YT comments plagiarism prevention police? Patrolling the night shift to insure everyones comments are safe from being copied?
Lol. Such a pathetic little man.....
Run to your safe space, tiger. The adults are talking.
@@T1cksandLeeches - btw I found the comment you think I copied.
Just wanted to remind you what a priq yew arr.
@@T1cksandLeeches youre a bot
better view at 1:41
Incredible footage!
I pray everyone made it out safely
0:26 That looks like one of those large rooftop HVAC units. Those things are usually lifted onto the roof with a crane because they are so large and heavy. The tornado just tosses it like it weighs nothing. Really crazy to think about.
Slow mo @1:41
Pindos😂😂😂
It’s just the lid.
At least the license plate on the silver SUV managed to hang in there.
But it was flapping like a piece of paper.
The trucks back window shatters from the wind. Nothing hit it the window it just broke.
@@ryans413 from the pressure
@@ryans413 Could've been a small piece of debris that we can't see with the camera because of the low framerate.
Holy cow! Seems like an intense tornado season!
I have lived most of my life in the midst of Tornado Alley, but this was pretty impressive.
I don't think I've seen a large building just erased from existence... wow
Umm 9/11
Maui
9.11 twin towers.
in 2 seconds, mind boggling
@@MichaelChiklisCares that's not a natural phenomenon.
I've seen a lot of tornado videos but always from a distance or relatively poor video quality, This is the best up close real time AND slow motion video I've ever seen. We always see the aftermath of what they've done but rarely or never see anything like this. Someone posted there were no fatalities which is great news.
Pecos Hank has really close up and good quality tornado videos on his channel.
it boggles the mind why these people dont build using cinder block and concrete.
@@user-du4ky2fy7q The building was concrete and had a steel structure.
It's like a wet dream for Reed Timmer.
This really shows how quick a landscape can change with a tornado. A matter of seconds. No other weather phenomenon can do that. In the deep south I lived through several huge tornadoes and when they come through and you take a drive, you hardly recognize places
No other weather phenomenon?
Tsunami
Earthquake
Volcanic eruption...these are jokes to you? Lol😅
I was actually planning on going up to Lincoln and spending the night the day this happened. Decided against it after looking at the weather. Glad I did.
One of the TOP ALL TIME tornado vids! Amazing!
There was another amazing video of this same tornado later on. There was almost no debris in the tornado after it had come across a grass field. And you could see at least five or six vortices rotating around each other. That was really spooky.
Watch the video from the train conductor. It shows it hitting Garner Ind, then it hits their train...!
@@carolbarnes3212 Oh thanks! I'm gonna look for that one! Lucky train engine cars or super heavy and strong!
Camera car never dies! Great footage.
it’s likely totaled , it was hit by something big and lost windows
Well, remember, the cameraman , in this case, camera car, never dies.
Bahaha 😂
