Yeah, dude drove straight into the tornadic vortex talking like it was fine. Back tf up, guy. The tornado is often far bigger than the condensation cloud
Well, it how they make their money because they take this and send it to noha weather and noha then put it out for us so really your right close but it's there job
You obviously never been in a large tornado their car as you can tell has not fixed to withstand the tornadoes . They will turn right around on a dime. It comes right back at you. These guys are way too close and it has nothing to do with being a Karen. It's about being through these many times and seeing the massive destruction.@somnuswaltz5586
If I may interject, please remember El Reno and don’t get underneath the main circulation… 4:45 you’re clearly too close and if that base descends, you can’t outrun it.
Exactly. I really dislike when storm chasers go so close they are getting hit with debris. These guys get excellent footage but there is absolutely no need to get that close. It makes me not want to watch their otherwise excellent videos. Makes me feel sick with worry. When they were "too close" to get the whole thing in the frame, yeah, way too close. That would be a good time to back up. We have seen many tornadoes change direction suddenly, or put another funnel down right behind storm chasers. Never forget Tim Samaras. He was actually quite careful. In the end it wasnt enough. Don't get too complacent. There are telephoto lenses for a reason. Your footage is just as good when you are a safer distance away as when you get into the edges of it. Great footage, but I almost clicked off in those couple of spots you got too close. Otherwise, some incredible footage here.
Amazing footage, but I found it disheartening the way you Woo-hooed after it hit that house. Someone's home was shredded, and you let out a subdued cheer. The chasers I watched yesterday immediately went to homes to help. Not one celebrated the event, saying it was awesome. You have great footage, but the way the video was edited, it made you appear cold-hearted. I hope it was due to editing, and that wasn't your first response.
I heard it but it didnt sound like he was cheering. He said “wooo” with the same sort of panic as someone saying woah when they’re not sure if they’re going to get hit.
ATTENTION VIEWERS!!! THESE CHASERS ARE DANGEROUSLY INSANE!!! WHEN YOU CAN HEAR DEBRIS HITTING THE VEHICLE, YOU KNOW YOU'RE WAY TOO CLOSE! A TREE OR FENCE POST COULD COME FLYING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, OR A SATELLITE FUNNEL COULD DROP AND PICK YOUR CAR UP LIKE A HOT WHEELS TOY! SPEAKING AS SOMEONE WHO HAS CHASED TORNADOES MANY TIMES, DO NOT DO THIS STUPID SHIT!!
I agree. This will be one channel not to watch. Speeding up to get as close as possible, for what? Not stopping to help anyone that just got hit....just shows they are in it for the video and not any real help.
There's something wrong here - these people are commenting about houses and barns being destroyed - these are people's homes, lives and livelihoods - I don't hear empathy I only hear comments like they are playing a video game. The amount of obsequiousness in this video is cloyingly suffocating.
Houses and barns---I grew up in farm country. So I was thinking about the cats and dogs, the cattle and horses, the chickens and the pigs...being torn apart, suffocating, pieces of them landing all over the place.
Reading a bit more into something than you need to arent ya? You see something destroyed your first thought isnt “ah the poor person that owns that thing” it’s typically along the lines of “oh that poor thing got destroyed”
I guess it just shows the generation gap. I'm from the post twister early 2000s stock of storm chasers myself. The storm chasing handbook kind of set the tone for what was acceptable and what wasn't. I'm seeing tons of unacceptable chase practices in this video.

Animals getting killed really sucks too. It’s not just humans, so listening to them with all their joy was very irritating. Being in awe of natures power is one thing, not caring about its devastation to life is quite another.
@@slooob23 I didn’t “project malice” whatsoever.! I understand being excited by the power of nature but if you are going to record yourself and put it online you must remember that life is likely being destroyed. Especially with tornadoes. You sound like a modern college age person who grew up self centered with social media as your God and “woke” ideology as your scripture.
Nah these people are annoying and inconsiderate. Trying to turn a profit on mother nature's destruction. I'm sorry california doesn't have tornados go film skid row or some shit losers.
The emotional disconnect to humanity is disturbing. "Oh, poor house. Looks like a nice one." Ho hum, right? People could be getting torn apart and it's like, "Oh, awesome!" Sick.
Didn’t get that impression at all. Nothing she can do to stop it. These tornadoes happen every year in the area. Yes, very sad that people lost everything or died, but it’s the risk you take by living there.
People are supposed to be in storm shelters. Therefore "poor house" can be most appropriate. Also this is a view of an ongoing situation where your own safety is at stake. One cannot be overly empathetic over buildings you know nothing about. Your duty is to report and not have yourself killed plain and simple.
I grew up in this area of the country and moved to the mountains 25 years ago. I DO NOT miss tornado season at all. Prayer and best wishes to all who live in these areas.
"You got that right?" that was someone's FARM you just watched explode. Animals MAY have been in there... chickens ...goats.. sheep. THAT is someone's life ..someone's business.
Yeah, and regardless of him filming it, all of that horrifying shit was still going to happen anyway. Getting over-emotional over eventuality is a really fucking weird thing, man.
@@TurbotefAbout as weird as the OP's main point. It's weird to be that excited about someone's livelihood getting destroyed along with some number of innocent animals that couldn't escape.
@@araikaraik1837 When you see a train crash do you go "Wow what a spectacle!" because there's a miniscule chance everyone survived? And even then, that home was SOMEONE'S home. A home they no longer got.
You’re absolutely right-phrases like “poor house, it was a nice one” can easily overlook the reality that behind every destroyed home, there are people whose lives are deeply affected. It’s essential to be considerate and remember the human cost of such disasters. Thanks for pointing out how important it is to approach these situations with the empathy and respect they deserve.
These people don't seem to care about others nor do they seem to take this seriously. They should not be doing this if they're just going to act like this is a fun joyride. Storm chasers have a very important job and these people are not doing it, it is all about the footage for them. Its like a game.
@@cravenm.2295 dude don’t ever talk to people that way YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW OLD THEY CAN BE and they can even get uncomfortable from what your saying
Don't worry. They keep doing stuff like that and one day it won't just be insulation or that nado will take a slight right and the jokes are over. Wouldn't be the first and won't be the last. Be safe out there.
They are live commenting and observing not thinking, unedited unscripted and sound quite young. Also nervous and probably scared. Give them a break geez.
There seems to be some sort of emotional disconnect, or a lack of understanding regarding the realness of the situation and the consequences that could ensue. "Watch for a satellite - we don't want that" in a semi-silly sounding voice... Yeah, because you could DIE bruthah!
@@Skyfly71 considering they're actively trying to film a natural disaster, I doubt many would cut them any slack for "removing themselves from the personal involvement". Wonder if they use their earned funds for making the video to help any of those affected. Maybe even just emailing the local mayor, after witnessing destruction of that town/village/county
I hope this is the best footage for a long time because everyone, DONT GET THIS CLOSE EVER. DONT RISK IT!!!!!!!!!! SO many people have died that werent even this close. Storm Chasers have died further away from a tornado than that.
I hope everyone in Nebraska to iowa is okay. The tornado was behind my school at one point and it was scary. Prayers to the 3 people injured in Waverly and prayers to everyone else.
“Just took out that house, Wooo” Yeah totally. Someone’s house got torn apart. WOOO. These guys don’t seem to care that people are losing their homes and barns, potentially while still inside.
It’s really disheartening to hear such a reaction. Celebrating the destruction of people’s homes and possibly their lives shows a disturbing lack of empathy. It’s crucial to remember that behind every destroyed building are real people facing immense hardship. Your comment perfectly highlights the need for more compassion and sensitivity in the face of such disasters.
They have good footage, but they are extremely insensitive and somewhat wrong in the head regarding their "woooha its so cooool". This kind of people end up cornered and unsheltered with a skin peeling EF5 on their way. Hope this never happens but its likely.
@Justmeandi19 Definitely some spectacular footage. Maybe when you're recording you can tone your 'glee in the moment' down a bit. If you're going to chase storms, be professional in the creation of your product. Be safe, and I hope debris doesn't smash through your windshield causing property damage or death. Think about it for a minute or two...
What about them? It's not like they can do anything. Do you want to dictate what people are to say and how they should feel or what? There is no point reading so much into that harmless statement. Don't you have better things to do than worry about something so trivial?
Agreed: extraordinary footage and effort; but tone-deaf to those of us who've lived through these and cleaned up afterwards. We're thankful for the survival of our loved ones and ourselves, and for any salvageable property, and I get that a stormchaser's job is to, y'know, chase storms; but try to remember this isn't awesome for the people losing all the things, seen and unseen, being obliterated by this force of nature.
Absolutely, the footage is remarkable, but it’s crucial to balance it with respect for the people and their property affected by these disasters. Acknowledging the human impact while appreciating the footage can create a more compassionate and respectful perspective. Thanks for highlighting the need for that balance!
i don't mean to rude but did you watch this video to see great tornadic activity? Did you see that? Yes, there comments are unsympathetic, but did you get what you came for? I can understand being in this mist of an incredible storm and seeing a house torn to shred with my first thought being "wow look at how that house got ripped up!" and then the next being "I hope those people are okay." I know that they didn't mention people and that they were just worried about getting the shot but that's because they were more concerned about getting this great video of a tornado for you and whoever else clicked on this video to see a great tornado with no initial thought of it ripping up houses leaving people homeless because that's what tornadoes do
@haydenmary4849 storm chasers do the same, but you can actually hear the concern in their voices, the nervousness, empathy. These guys seemed excited. Watch real storm chasers, they don't get excited and thrilled. They are actually concerned. Yes we want to see a massive Tornado but don't act excited watching them destroying homes that could have people inside sheltering in a bathroom, etc. Stop the car and check on people like real chasers.
He has a history of being overly reckless. He's still alive though. I feel bad for those that drive with him, probably thinking he knows what he's doing, when in actuality he's just reckless.
As a former Okie, no. Everyone who lives there knows the risks. Same with Florida and hurricanes or dumb people in Hawaii building a house on a volcano
@@chazmichaelmichaels88 my God you’re worse than my wife. Talk about inventing something out of nothing. How you got that out of what I wrote is beyond me. Let me see if I can dumb it down a little for you. Under no circumstance, do I find life-changing and life killing storms of any kind beautiful in any way shape or form. There are many other words that you can use to show respect but beautiful is not one of them. Would you call watching someone’s house burn to the ground beautiful because fire can be beautiful? Hopefully this registered for you. If not , I would personally blame the public school system.
@@chazmichaelmichaels88Who cares? Disasters can happen ANYWHERE. Have some humanity and morality. Imagine if this were YOUR house and you lost everything!
You should say poor people in that house that's going to lose everything ,maybe even their lives . Please show empathy for the people who are suffering loss and severe tragedy.
any chase stops when you see damage to a house that has just been hit by the Tornado, you go to check on any people that could have been in the house are not injured or need emergency care.
Please remember everyone reacts differently in intense situations. Personally, I would react very similarly, but I would then have nightmares and constant anxiety for the people affected afterwards. Just because they didn't show the emotions YOU think they should at that exact moment or even what they chose to show in this 6 minute video of an hour plus long journey, doesn't mean they don't care at all. This video isn't about them and how they feel, it's a video about the tornado. Some of the most calm and calculated storm chasers are also the most empathetic and helpful, they'll be the first to jump in and help. But according to y'all, that means absolutely nothing if they don't say or post the right thing in an adrenaline filled moment. It's always people who have never been through anything close that pass judgement and that's much crueler than anything I witnessed in the video.
Stop wanting to dictate how other people should think or feel. Hard to have compassion and empathy with people these days, seeing how academically illiterate and uneducated most people are. Furthermore, whether he has a sense of compassion or not is not going to change the tornado's mind. It has no bearing on reality whatsoever. Stop putting yourself on a moral high ground and instead focus on the things you can actively change. Everything else is pure stupidity.
the mesocyclone on this storm was INSANE, it almost looked like the entire wall cloud was rotating. Some of the most insane footage i've seen in a long long time. What a day guys.
And to think today's supposed to be really bad from Michigan to Texas . Local news weather girl was talking about it this morning. I hope they are wrong.
Bro, you are way too close to these tornadoes. We appreciate the footage, but back off a bit. I'm sure you know storm chasers have gotten either killed or injured getting too close.
@@Danmex16 with the right precautions. You can get a truck with bars over the windows like 1x1 fencing. And I personally would have a couple tons of metal in the back of the vehicle.
@@hancowman7622you sound rediculous. Mother Nature & what occurs naturally has nothing to do with religion but the religious sure like dragging it into their narrative as evidence. Mother Nature doesn't care about religion only sheeple people do. If God truly shielded us then kids would not be trafficked.
I feel so bad for the ppl who lost their homes. Imagine everything you own and your entire refuge and sanctuary being gone in a metter of seconds. This was some wonderful coverage but in the end all im thinking about are the ones who lost their homes and property.
They choose to live in areas that are prone to getting hit by tornados. It's no different than folks who choose to live in areas that are prone to hurricanes. I have no sympathy for any of them
@MichaelAMyers1957 well good for you. Do you live in an area where car accidents happen or lightning strikes happen or any other thing out of nowhere can happen?? Just because they knew doesn't make it their fault. Things can happen to anyone at anytime. Unless you live in a bubble then you take a risk on your life every time you get out of bed. God forbid something tragic should happen to you or your family but if it ever does ,I hope you get the same amount of sympathy you give others.
@for-real-countrygirl4192 I live in the Midwest.. only thing we don't have is ocean stuff like hurricane/typhoons/tsunamis. Also, I have never, and would never want, or ask for sympathy from others. Sympathy is like giving thoughts and prayers. It does absolutely nothing.
There are tornado chasers that are calm and film while letting the viewers enjoy the experience, and see if people need help after the tornado hits, and there are tornado chasers like those two that feel the need to comment every second to make sure the viewers don't forget about them and make viewers question their sincerity and seriousness regarding people's houses and lives
Watching live yesterday I saw chasers give up the chase, choosing to see if victims needed assistance rather than get the footage of the tornado. You lost me when you said it just took out that house and drove by in pursuit of video…😟
@@_LuxSteinThis isn't tornado alley. It's Nebraska and Iowa. What a stupid f*cking comment. I actually know people who lost their homes and were injured in this exact storm. Have some empathy.
@@_LuxSteinThis isn't tornado alley. By your logic, people shouldn't live on the west coast because of earthquakes, shouldn't live in the midwest because of tornadoes, shouldn't live on the east coast because of hurricanes, shouldn't live up north because of snowstorms, shouldn't live in the south because of, yet again, hurricanes and tornadoes. Where should we all move? 😂 Keep playing your dungeon games and stop making ignorant comments on TH-cam. You'll hopefully understand better when you're an adult.
I’ve lived in Kansas for most of my life… it’s crazy that I, living in the middle of tornado alley is terrified of a tornado possibly ruining my home or worst hurting one of my loved ones.. but people chase tornados and are so fascinated by destruction that tornados cause … “ wow look at that roof “ with zero empathy over someone who could have possibly been there or their animals….
Many chasers stop and help those affected by tornados on their chase, there have been many cases of chasers saving the lives of people who live in remote places that otherwise had no way of getting to a hospital quickly. Yes, it’s a double edged sword.
If you grew up in Kansas hun you would know you’re always in a 50/50 crapshoot during tornado season of losing everything. The first thing we learn at 3 years old is tornado procedure and you always gotta be prepared to lose everything otherwise get the fuck out of Kansas you aren’t built for it. We need chasers- we need the footage so we can protect our communities better as technology and understanding increases and gives more time. Mother Nature is a beautiful god- but she’s still a god and she’ll take as she pleases. You aren’t Kansas tough- I suggest you move away.
Yet here you are watching, commenting, and supporting it, and dont dare try to say you didn't rewind to your favorite parts more than once. Relax Karen, they are big kids they don't need lectures from you 😂
@@scottyboombatii_vj I guess I missed the part in the video where they were encouraging others to chase tornadoes. Can you kindly point out the timestamp when they did so? Thanks bud
You realize that two things can be true at the same time, right? It can be terrifying and beautiful. It can be tragic and beautiful. The same thing applies in a lot of contexts, such as in my field which is crime scene investigation. A case can be absolutely tragic and heartbreaking, but at the same time be very exciting and interesting from a scientific standpoint. One doesn't exclude the other.
Absolute mega footage! clean, composed, not over-panned nor over-zoomed, multiple shots of one of the most photogenic wedge tornado that have ever touched the ground. Truly inspiring chase. I'm very glad you caught that.
I don’t think anybody knew we were getting tornadoes like THAT yesterday. Craziest thing with that last clip with that insane BEAST of a tornado, is that it’s moving like that in real-time…it’s not even sped up! Holy crap
SPC had a hatched 10% tornado risk for these areas yesterday. Today it's a hatched 15% for a lot of these same places. God be with everyone impacted, I hope today turns out to be a bust. It's looking like it'll be even worse though.
@@dinklezucc5982 Yeah, I've been looking at the newest HRRR model this morning. Not looking good right now. Dew points are high, lots of wind shear, lots of CAPE...depending on where and when supercells form, there may be a low level cap but it'll be easily overcome by these storms because of that super high dew points. Gonna be a boredom-free day for sure
@@watermenjohn4574 I'm sorry to hear that. I understand about family as mine is dwindling as well. I established new friends by volunteering in my community. It was a great way to meet people, help in my community, and have friends when I needed help. It also felt good to be able to help my friends when they needed it. If possible for you, volunteering is a great way to meet wonderful people.
I can’t imagine it either. The thought of losing everything and then having to rebuild your life from scratch is truly overwhelming. It’s a profound reminder of the resilience and strength people need to face such devastating losses. The emotional and practical challenges of starting over are immense. It’s important to support those affected in any way we can and remember the human side of these tragedies. How do you think we can better support and help people during the rebuilding process?
Yeah, Reed Trimmer does yell and stuff but he stops the chase and goes to help people that have been hit by a tornado. At least he has compassion for human lives. That fact right there is why he is one of the best chasers. Have some compassion for others!!!!
I understand it's their passion, but their is a big difference when he explains the event, not what destruction it's causing in real time, compared to oh that's was a nice house etc...
I used to dislike reed because of the yelling, but if you really listen to his words it's always informative and descriptive nowadays. The only time he gets "excited" is when he knows everyone is safe and no one is being impacted. Anytime people/property becomes involved you can tell it's mostly worry. Plus like you said, he always stops chase and helps when necessary. I have a lot of respect for him now.
Couldn't agree more. He loves beautiful and strong tornadoes, and that's ok, because he has no co trol over when they appear. But he shows compassion to those who lost everything, amd treats the situation with respect, not "aww, poor house."
Then you add their names on the top of the Mt. Everest of humans who died because of their curiosity. Why would it be better to die at the age of 90 watching TV & shitting in diapers?
4:09 i don't know how people can live a life, build a home above ground, and raise a family in these areas when a MONSTER like this could come and destroy everything in an instant. Natures true power
This is some of the most beautiful footage i've seen of tornadoes yet but it's so hard to hear juxtaposed against the blasé conversation like "aw, poor house" and "just took out that house, wooo". IDK man. Don't ever forget these are peoples' lives you're watching change.
~~~~~~ 100% mercenary, 0% compassionate ~~~~~~ There appeared to be lights on in the house that had its roof torn off, so someone was at home. I was appalled that this couple watched that WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING whether occupants of that home might need immediate help from the people who were just selfishly driving on by. "Just took out that house. Woooo." And, they seemed to be rooting for the tornado to destroy barns, so I'm guessing they have no concept of the extreme monetary and sentimental value of a barn, home, livestock, or mature trees... or what it's like to try to recover from this devastation. The flying barn roof that made him so happy may have also ruined someone's career or life.
I live in Kansas, and this breaks my heart! My sheep are in the barn, and I parked my truck in there, just in case of hail. We would lose our animals and equipment. It would devastate us.
gamethatplaysyou who the hell has money for an underground shelter for themselves as well as their fucking farm!? Unbelievable! Farmers aren't rich you know.
@@RunninUpThatHillh building the whole concrete underground shelter of 50m2 (~500ft2) would cost from 9k$, which is less then 1 avg. monthly income of US farmer in 2024. concrete is one of the cheapest materials that provides complete security from tornados, there are other cheaper ways to make a shelter as well, one of which would be using natural soil as walls, so all you'd need to do is make sure the roof is well secured. that cuts the initial estimate down to 6k+. there's a literal ton of information on all of this readily available online and you still choose to be ignorant and opt for "praying it wont hit you" rather then doing something to prevent the damage it can cause. ridiculous logic. you shouldn't keep animals if you cannot vouch for their safety, it common sense.
@@gamethatplaysyou Common sense you say, huh? Think about what @jenniferbell4571 is saying, a barn filled with livestock animals. Not people. ~500ft2 is not a lot of space, roughly about the size of a one-bedroom apartment. 2020 Kansas Report on the state's sheep and goat industry states that average flock sizes in Kansas is approximately 133-145 heads. You think you can cram about 133-145 sheep into a ~500ft2 one-bedroom apartment?
@@greatshaggy7253 by those numbers, you would need approx. 4 times 500ft2 to accommodate 133-145 heads for the duration of the tornado. stretch that over the period of couple of years, you can't convince me it's a luxurious investment if it guarantees the safety of your main income source. more likely people like to take their chances with nature and curse it when it does what statistics said it would in that area.
Why would you do that when you could make some autism-spectrum comments about the property damage and then post your lack of empathy to youtube for likes?
While I understand the awe of witnessing a tornado, coming from a weather nerd, the lack of sympathy for the people’s homes and barns getting destroyed is sickening. There could be people in there, or livestock in the barns. It’s like they’re not even sad about the fact someone could’ve possibly lost their life.
"poor house" , "it's only insulation" the video is spectacular but the lack of concern for those possibly affected in those two homes is strange, I only can hope you confirmed all were safe or no one was present and did not elect to include that information in your video.
Well, send a few bucks in donation to charities helping those hit. Or don't watch the videos making them more profitable. Similar argument not to film *any* disaster then of course.
Great footage but very irresponsible. “Look how close you can get to a tornado and not get hurt!” What’s the point of these videos if they don’t help anyone? 4:47
Leave it to professionals, your lack of empathy to what is actually happening to human beings, business's, and animals in the path of these violent storms is ridiculous. Hoping the storm would " hit " something, just so you can get a thrill and likes shows your lack of experience.
That’s the most insane footage I’ve seen yet. Absolutely stunning. Good job y’all. Prayers for the people of Nebraska yesterday with all the tornadoes.
You people need to Stop! Judging! And be grateful that we have storm chasers to tape a storm so close to them! There's no rule or law about how amateur a storm chaser should be! You gotta start somewhere, and I think they did a Awesome! Job!!!👍❤
At the 4:35 mark -> you folks were actually in the outer wind fields of the tornadic circulation. It was this same phenomenon that killed Tim Samaris and his team at the El Reno storm in 2013, when a satellite tornado of the muti-vortex tornado swept their car off the road. Do be careful, but at the same time, amazing shots.
holy shit, the way that subvortex at 2:48 lifted the roof off that barn so specifically... looked like the finger of a hand reaching down to grab and play with it before flicking it into the field. Also, that wide-angle shot at 5:35 just absolutely amazing; looked like the entire wall cloud was damn near on the ground
Years ago, I had a roommate who had relatives in OK. they had a used car lot. A tornado hit one day (no warnings in those days - no weather radar) and they hunkered down in the building on the lot. It passed, the building was damaged but they were all right. A lot of the cars were just gone.
I understand your concern. The footage can indeed be haunting, and reactions that seem indifferent or detached can make it even more unsettling. It’s important to approach these events with the empathy and respect they deserve. Your comment underscores the need for sensitivity and understanding when discussing or viewing such devastating events. How do you think we can encourage more compassionate reactions to these types of footage?

Thank you for being one of the ONLY people to comment this. No one seems to care that people are hurt, people's homes are DESTROYED. All because they got to witness some cool clouds on video. It's disgusting.
@@akaisha0000 I so understand what you are saying. I was a first responder for 30+ years. I won't go into what I've seen or did.

Prayers and on the ground help from others ( out of the area) are so needed> Thank you for your kind complement
Absolutely, the intensity of those storms was staggering. 🌩 A huge thank you to everyone who risked their lives to help others-your bravery and dedication are truly commendable. It’s also important to send our prayers and support to all those affected by the storms. Every bit of compassion and assistance makes a difference.

@Tight_Young_Snatch You damn sure would if you were laying under a pile of rubble with nails, glass, wood and who knows what all stuck in your body. Dale
While witnessing a tornado can be something to behold, while you're going "Oooo, wow", bear in mind that there might be a family in that house that just got hit.
I believe your videos would be better served without audio from you. Maybe a second camera outside the car to capture sound and then edit together. You seem happy when it hits a structure. Maybe call 911 to report the addresses hit so someone can make sure they are alright. Peoples lives are at stake here.
I was going to say same thing. I get that it is science and weather and caught up on the moment, but you are forgetting that people's lives are being destroyed as you get excited about science. Use music and mute your conversations from this point forward please. When I heard her nonchalantly say " oh poor house, beautiful house" it made my skin crawl and blood boil.
You are getting *WAY* too aggressively close to these tornados like holy fuck dude. I swear storm chasers are getting more insane each year, just because Reed Timmer be driving into tornadoes doesn't mean you should mimic him.
Am I the only one who wonders why many storm chasers don't stop to see if they can be of assistance when they see a house being destroyed. Maybe someone needs help. Maybe the 1st responders are right behind them and more equipment for this. I'm just wondering, not judging.
Almost all storm chasers do. These people are the exception. And still, they may have checked after the tornado had passed. With a multi vortex tornado over a mile wide like this, it's best to let the tornado distance itself or dissipate before getting out of your car so you arent hit by debris.
Why they don't stop? They are scared to deal with the aftermath... you know suffering and maybe dead people, these are the same type of people the drive by a bad accident that has happened right in front them on the highway...
Unless they're trained to handle medical situations, they have no business in attempting to do so. You have no idea what injuries the person's are dealing with. Go dig a person out who has a neck injury, you move them, now they're paralyzed. Great, you just ruined the rest of their life. Way to go. All because you want to play hero..
You all are way too serious about their comments: If these are young people,theyre simply immature. Why judge so harshly and expect more out of them than you should? Its expected behavior when your young. You just care more about the thrill than people . Can everyone truly tell en they werent sumilar when in your early 20s?? I was And now i havr so much compassion and empathy for people and animals.
I think your video content is amazing. Only one thing as a first responder. I found it slightly distasteful that you said how beautiful that tornado was. As someone who hast to come in after natural disasters they are anything but beautiful, especially when you’re pulling out victims. And I’m sure anybody who’s lost someone to a tornado didn’t find that nice at all. Might want to edit the video and take that part out.😢
This tornado actually had 225 winds even tho it was rated ef3 the ef scale is a damage scale only but the tornado had recorded wind speeds of 225 is it was basically the same thing as a ef5 just without the damage indicators for it

When someone says that they cannot get the whole tornado in the camera frame, that might be a clue that they are WAY too close!
Ya think?
Relax Karens. Those are big kids l, they don't need lectures from you 😂
Yeah, dude drove straight into the tornadic vortex talking like it was fine. Back tf up, guy. The tornado is often far bigger than the condensation cloud
Well, it how they make their money because they take this and send it to noha weather and noha then put it out for us so really your right close but it's there job
You obviously never been in a large tornado their car as you can tell has not fixed to withstand the tornadoes . They will turn right around on a dime. It comes right back at you. These guys are way too close and it has nothing to do with being a Karen. It's about being through these many times and seeing the massive destruction.@somnuswaltz5586
If I may interject, please remember El Reno and don’t get underneath the main circulation… 4:45 you’re clearly too close and if that base descends, you can’t outrun it.
Exactly. I really dislike when storm chasers go so close they are getting hit with debris.
These guys get excellent footage but there is absolutely no need to get that close. It makes me not want to watch their otherwise excellent videos. Makes me feel sick with worry.
When they were "too close" to get the whole thing in the frame, yeah, way too close. That would be a good time to back up.
We have seen many tornadoes change direction suddenly, or put another funnel down right behind storm chasers. Never forget Tim Samaras. He was actually quite careful. In the end it wasnt enough.
Don't get too complacent. There are telephoto lenses for a reason. Your footage is just as good when you are a safer distance away as when you get into the edges of it.
Great footage, but I almost clicked off in those couple of spots you got too close.
Otherwise, some incredible footage here.
Thank you. If a nail or tree or something else with weight his that window. He I doubt is in dominator 3 like reed timmer

@@atrmediaofficial That's besides the point. But thanks for your service.
Amazing footage, but I found it disheartening the way you Woo-hooed after it hit that house. Someone's home was shredded, and you let out a subdued cheer. The chasers I watched yesterday immediately went to homes to help. Not one celebrated the event, saying it was awesome. You have great footage, but the way the video was edited, it made you appear cold-hearted. I hope it was due to editing, and that wasn't your first response.
I heard it but it didnt sound like he was cheering. He said “wooo” with the same sort of panic as someone saying woah when they’re not sure if they’re going to get hit.
I agree, I was disgusted by the way they talked about it hitting houses and getting excited at the tornado hitting barns.
@@happycanadian8558 it sounded more shocked than anything
They sound very young.
@mikemetzer3728 I listened to it several times and agree with the OP's use of language: " subdued cheer".
ATTENTION VIEWERS!!! THESE CHASERS ARE DANGEROUSLY INSANE!!! WHEN YOU CAN HEAR DEBRIS HITTING THE VEHICLE, YOU KNOW YOU'RE WAY TOO CLOSE! A TREE OR FENCE POST COULD COME FLYING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, OR A SATELLITE FUNNEL COULD DROP AND PICK YOUR CAR UP LIKE A HOT WHEELS TOY!
SPEAKING AS SOMEONE WHO HAS CHASED TORNADOES MANY TIMES,
DO NOT DO THIS STUPID SHIT!!
AMEN!!!
I agree. This will be one channel not to watch. Speeding up to get as close as possible, for what? Not stopping to help anyone that just got hit....just shows they are in it for the video and not any real help.
@@TG-ct2uw”It’s gonna hit that house.” ”Poor house.” That says it all. Poor house. Not poor people? Or I hope no one is in it? No, just poor house.
bruh shut up and go back to TH-cam Kids
@@BeeWhistlerIts science
There's something wrong here - these people are commenting about houses and barns being destroyed - these are people's homes, lives and livelihoods - I don't hear empathy I only hear comments like they are playing a video game. The amount of obsequiousness in this video is cloyingly suffocating.
Houses and barns---I grew up in farm country. So I was thinking about the cats and dogs, the cattle and horses, the chickens and the pigs...being torn apart, suffocating, pieces of them landing all over the place.
I will send you some tampons.......
Storm porn.
There’s always one in the comments, victim mentality
You watched it, that’s what’s wrong. How dare you be entertained by the misfortunes of these farmers. You should have looked away.
Poor house? Try poor people.

Yeah, these are peoples’ lives. Maybe show a little compassion.
Sounds like a sales pitch lol
We only care about clicks... those aren't people right honey... pretty sad
Reading a bit more into something than you need to arent ya? You see something destroyed your first thought isnt “ah the poor person that owns that thing” it’s typically along the lines of “oh that poor thing got destroyed”
Professional storm chasers don't even get that close...for a reason.
I guess it just shows the generation gap. I'm from the post twister early 2000s stock of storm chasers myself. The storm chasing handbook kind of set the tone for what was acceptable and what wasn't. I'm seeing tons of unacceptable chase practices in this video.

@@slooob23
I didn’t “project malice” whatsoever.!
I understand being excited by the power of nature but if you are going to record yourself and put it online you must remember that life is likely being destroyed. Especially with tornadoes.
You sound like a modern college age person who grew up self centered with social media as your God and “woke” ideology as your scripture.
Nah these people are annoying and inconsiderate. Trying to turn a profit on mother nature's destruction. I'm sorry california doesn't have tornados go film skid row or some shit losers.
The emotional disconnect to humanity is disturbing. "Oh, poor house. Looks like a nice one." Ho hum, right? People could be getting torn apart and it's like, "Oh, awesome!" Sick.
My thoughts exactly
Didn’t get that impression at all. Nothing she can do to stop it. These tornadoes happen every year in the area. Yes, very sad that people lost everything or died, but it’s the risk you take by living there.
Victim mentality
Yeah, why are you watching it then, hypocrite.
People are supposed to be in storm shelters. Therefore "poor house" can be most appropriate. Also this is a view of an ongoing situation where your own safety is at stake. One cannot be overly empathetic over buildings you know nothing about. Your duty is to report and not have yourself killed plain and simple.
It's not poor house, it's poor people.
this 2 are unbelievably callous
oh my goodness exactly!
Oh it looks like a nice one too. What the her??
Poor house wow.
Exactly!
I grew up in this area of the country and moved to the mountains 25 years ago. I DO NOT miss tornado season at all. Prayer and best wishes to all who live in these areas.
"You got that right?" that was someone's FARM you just watched explode. Animals MAY have been in there... chickens ...goats.. sheep. THAT is someone's life ..someone's business.
Welcome to life. What do you think journalists who cover conflicts do? How are you so naive? Are you a child?
Yeah, and regardless of him filming it, all of that horrifying shit was still going to happen anyway. Getting over-emotional over eventuality is a really fucking weird thing, man.
@@Lucky_leftie Using journalists as some sort of moral compass is something a child would do.

@@TurbotefAbout as weird as the OP's main point. It's weird to be that excited about someone's livelihood getting destroyed along with some number of innocent animals that couldn't escape.
Damn I hope the people living in those houses you were laughing about are okay
Just Mother Nature's comedy act.
Agree. I found their laughing and joking offensive.
My wife is from that region in Nebraska. She says they are not idiots, they all have cellars/basements or dedicated shelters.
I was thinking the same thing. .....not even thinking of stopping to see if help was needed

I'm so glad I muted the commentary after reading the comments. I'm so glad you are entertained and amused.
how to mute commentary? or are you just muting everything?
The comments on this video are some of the dumbest I’ve ever seen. The kind of people who should be swung on after a short conversation.
Also, "poor house, it was a nice one" could also mean dead people. Please be considerate.
Yeah I noticed that too. F*k the 'regular' poor people's homes.
They could *also* be alive. Stop assuming the worst for people *first.*
''Please be considerate'' How about pls stop being such sensitive snowflake-ish crybabies. Just don't watch the video if you're that hurt lmfao.
@@araikaraik1837 When you see a train crash do you go "Wow what a spectacle!" because there's a miniscule chance everyone survived?
And even then, that home was SOMEONE'S home. A home they no longer got.
You’re absolutely right-phrases like “poor house, it was a nice one” can easily overlook the reality that behind every destroyed home, there are people whose lives are deeply affected. It’s essential to be considerate and remember the human cost of such disasters. Thanks for pointing out how important it is to approach these situations with the empathy and respect they deserve.
These people don't seem to care about others nor do they seem to take this seriously. They should not be doing this if they're just going to act like this is a fun joyride. Storm chasers have a very important job and these people are not doing it, it is all about the footage for them. Its like a game.
Lmao settle down babe
@@cravenm.2295 dude don’t ever talk to people that way YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW OLD THEY CAN BE and they can even get uncomfortable from what your saying
Don't worry. They keep doing stuff like that and one day it won't just be insulation or that nado will take a slight right and the jokes are over. Wouldn't be the first and won't be the last. Be safe out there.
It's nerves and adrenaline. Totally normal for high risk situations. They were not even that disrespectful honestly.
People can do whatever they want.
I'm glad I'm not the only person appalled by some of the commentary and reactions of the people filming.
They are live commenting and observing not thinking, unedited unscripted and sound quite young. Also nervous and probably scared. Give them a break geez.
There seems to be some sort of emotional disconnect, or a lack of understanding regarding the realness of the situation and the consequences that could ensue. "Watch for a satellite - we don't want that" in a semi-silly sounding voice... Yeah, because you could DIE bruthah!
@@Skyfly71 considering they're actively trying to film a natural disaster, I doubt many would cut them any slack for "removing themselves from the personal involvement". Wonder if they use their earned funds for making the video to help any of those affected. Maybe even just emailing the local mayor, after witnessing destruction of that town/village/county
It's almost like humans cope in different ways.
They should be able to understand that people in those houses might be dying right in front of their camera.
I hope this is the best footage for a long time because everyone, DONT GET THIS CLOSE EVER. DONT RISK IT!!!!!!!!!! SO many people have died that werent even this close. Storm Chasers have died further away from a tornado than that.
These morons are booking tours.
I hope everyone in Nebraska to iowa is okay. The tornado was behind my school at one point and it was scary. Prayers to the 3 people injured in Waverly and prayers to everyone else.
The fact that it's NOT sped up at 2:00 --> is blowing my mind
Those bands on the outside perimeter have to be moving a couple hundred mph.
For sure. If they hadn't been talking one would have thought it was.
Incredible
It's slow
@@LazarOrthodox04 the rotation of it is NOT slow what so ever
If you are close enough that your vehicle is getting hit by debris, then you are entirely too close. You're teaching bad habits.
I agree with that.
Fr a car or large object could've easily got thrown at them
bwoomp
I agree with that
They put themselves at risk due to the competition among storm chasers. That means they are putting themselves on the line for $. A little too greedy!
"Look, it took out that house" Keeps driving.
"Look how violent that is!"
*Drives right into it*
Lmao
Yes LORD, I've never understood chasers. They have balls of steel.
It's absolutely kuuuge!
“Just took out that house, Wooo”
Yeah totally. Someone’s house got torn apart. WOOO.
These guys don’t seem to care that people are losing their homes and barns, potentially while still inside.
If they cared, would it stop the wind?
@@scillyautomaticHuh? So no one should care about other human beings if it ultimately cannot change an outcome?
It’s really disheartening to hear such a reaction. Celebrating the destruction of people’s homes and possibly their lives shows a disturbing lack of empathy. It’s crucial to remember that behind every destroyed building are real people facing immense hardship. Your comment perfectly highlights the need for more compassion and sensitivity in the face of such disasters.
You are using too much energy and causing green house gases, turn off your computer and donate all your money to affected people.
"It's just insulation" may be the most ridiculous thing I've heard.
Yeah, mixed with a few cinder blocks and light poles.
Pretty much everything about this video is ridiculous. They have issues
It's a home not just a house. Peoples lives. I know I speak for myself my home took a lifetime
They have good footage, but they are extremely insensitive and somewhat wrong in the head regarding their "woooha its so cooool". This kind of people end up cornered and unsheltered with a skin peeling EF5 on their way. Hope this never happens but its likely.
I agree, that insulation was part of someone's beloved home.
When the girl said “oh poor house… gosh that house was so nice.” No poor people that are in that house.
You guys sounds way too happy about this. People's lives are being devastated.
They know that trust me
@Justmeandi19
Definitely some spectacular footage. Maybe when you're recording you can tone your 'glee in the moment' down a bit. If you're going to chase storms, be professional in the creation of your product. Be safe, and I hope debris doesn't smash through your windshield causing property damage or death. Think about it for a minute or two...

Some of the greatest footage I've ever seen, but maybe a little more respect for people and their property...
Amen 🙏 Perfect comment ❤️ After all, the people in that house could have lost their lives and they commented "Poor house"
Agreed: extraordinary footage and effort; but tone-deaf to those of us who've lived through these and cleaned up afterwards. We're thankful for the survival of our loved ones and ourselves, and for any salvageable property, and I get that a stormchaser's job is to, y'know, chase storms; but try to remember this isn't awesome for the people losing all the things, seen and unseen, being obliterated by this force of nature.
Well said. I feel sorry for those who lose their lives, livelihoods, animals and property.

Welcome to our current new crop of youth. Pretty sickening, isn’t it? Everything is a new TikTok video to them.
i don't mean to rude but did you watch this video to see great tornadic activity? Did you see that? Yes, there comments are unsympathetic, but did you get what you came for? I can understand being in this mist of an incredible storm and seeing a house torn to shred with my first thought being "wow look at how that house got ripped up!" and then the next being "I hope those people are okay." I know that they didn't mention people and that they were just worried about getting the shot but that's because they were more concerned about getting this great video of a tornado for you and whoever else clicked on this video to see a great tornado with no initial thought of it ripping up houses leaving people homeless because that's what tornadoes do
@haydenmary4849 storm chasers do the same, but you can actually hear the concern in their voices, the nervousness, empathy. These guys seemed excited. Watch real storm chasers, they don't get excited and thrilled. They are actually concerned. Yes we want to see a massive Tornado but don't act excited watching them destroying homes that could have people inside sheltering in a bathroom, etc. Stop the car and check on people like real chasers.
These guys are awful and should never chase again. They give chasers a bad name and have no shame.

@@BabyBugBug shut up.
You should say poor people in that house that's going to lose everything ,maybe even their lives . Please show empathy for the people who are suffering loss and severe tragedy.
any chase stops when you see damage to a house that has just been hit by the Tornado, you go to check on any people that could have been in the house are not injured or need emergency care.
Please remember everyone reacts differently in intense situations. Personally, I would react very similarly, but I would then have nightmares and constant anxiety for the people affected afterwards. Just because they didn't show the emotions YOU think they should at that exact moment or even what they chose to show in this 6 minute video of an hour plus long journey, doesn't mean they don't care at all. This video isn't about them and how they feel, it's a video about the tornado. Some of the most calm and calculated storm chasers are also the most empathetic and helpful, they'll be the first to jump in and help. But according to y'all, that means absolutely nothing if they don't say or post the right thing in an adrenaline filled moment. It's always people who have never been through anything close that pass judgement and that's much crueler than anything I witnessed in the video.
Stop wanting to dictate how other people should think or feel. Hard to have compassion and empathy with people these days, seeing how academically illiterate and uneducated most people are. Furthermore, whether he has a sense of compassion or not is not going to change the tornado's mind. It has no bearing on reality whatsoever. Stop putting yourself on a moral high ground and instead focus on the things you can actively change. Everything else is pure stupidity.

who are you to judge someone's empathy?
Many chasers stop and help those affected by tornados on their chase, there have been many cases of chasers saving the lives of people who live in remote places that otherwise had no way of getting to a hospital quickly. Yes, it’s a double edged sword.

It was a great way to meet people, help in my community, and have friends when I needed help. It also felt good to be able to help my friends when they needed it. If possible for you, volunteering is a great way to meet wonderful people.
You never do. It changes your life forever.
I can’t imagine it either. The thought of losing everything and then having to rebuild your life from scratch is truly overwhelming. It’s a profound reminder of the resilience and strength people need to face such devastating losses. The emotional and practical challenges of starting over are immense. It’s important to support those affected in any way we can and remember the human side of these tragedies. How do you think we can better support and help people during the rebuilding process?
Yeah, Reed Trimmer does yell and stuff but he stops the chase and goes to help people that have been hit by a tornado. At least he has compassion for human lives. That fact right there is why he is one of the best chasers.
Have some compassion for others!!!!
I understand it's their passion, but their is a big difference when he explains the event, not what destruction it's causing in real time, compared to oh that's was a nice house etc...
I used to dislike reed because of the yelling, but if you really listen to his words it's always informative and descriptive nowadays. The only time he gets "excited" is when he knows everyone is safe and no one is being impacted. Anytime people/property becomes involved you can tell it's mostly worry. Plus like you said, he always stops chase and helps when necessary. I have a lot of respect for him now.
You can't judge them for filming and also watch the video. Judge yourself then
Same with Pecos Hank
Couldn't agree more. He loves beautiful and strong tornadoes, and that's ok, because he has no co trol over when they appear. But he shows compassion to those who lost everything, amd treats the situation with respect, not "aww, poor house."
It's crazy how beautiful and terrifying these are at the same time.
You guys got entirely too up close and personal!
Terrifying and amazing

@@loraselby8254 I've thankfully never been close to a tornado.
This is the type that ends up on the news... dead.
Then you add their names on the top of the Mt. Everest of humans who died because of their curiosity.
Why would it be better to die at the age of 90 watching TV & shitting in diapers?
4:09 i don't know how people can live a life, build a home above ground, and raise a family in these areas when a MONSTER like this could come and destroy everything in an instant.
Natures true power
This is some of the most beautiful footage i've seen of tornadoes yet but it's so hard to hear juxtaposed against the blasé conversation like "aw, poor house" and "just took out that house, wooo". IDK man. Don't ever forget these are peoples' lives you're watching change.
~~~~~~ 100% mercenary, 0% compassionate ~~~~~~
There appeared to be lights on in the house that had its roof torn off, so someone was at home. I was appalled that this couple watched that WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING whether occupants of that home might need immediate help from the people who were just selfishly driving on by. "Just took out that house. Woooo."
And, they seemed to be rooting for the tornado to destroy barns, so I'm guessing they have no concept of the extreme monetary and sentimental value of a barn, home, livestock, or mature trees... or what it's like to try to recover from this devastation. The flying barn roof that made him so happy may have also ruined someone's career or life.
Well said 👏
You and Pecos Hank have some of the best tornado videos on TH-cam!
I swear this felt like a 30 minute video! Exceptional and unique footage!

@@atrmediaofficial amen
Yea but Hank knows what he's doing.
@@underthetornado That's what I was thinking. Can you imagine signing up for a "tornado tour" with this dude?
Those kind of careless intercepts WILL get you killed.
One reason why they shouldn't be offering tours.
Actually, really informative about just what a tornado can do. Thank you!
She says "poor house", what about the people inside lady? It's great footage but they seem to want it to do as much damage as possible.
I live in Kansas, and this breaks my heart! My sheep are in the barn, and I parked my truck in there, just in case of hail. We would lose our animals and equipment. It would devastate us.
maybe build an underground shelter for your animals as well if you're living in the area where tornados are likely to occur? crazy thought, right?
gamethatplaysyou who the hell has money for an underground shelter for themselves as well as their fucking farm!? Unbelievable! Farmers aren't rich you know.
@@RunninUpThatHillh building the whole concrete underground shelter of 50m2 (~500ft2) would cost from 9k$, which is less then 1 avg. monthly income of US farmer in 2024. concrete is one of the cheapest materials that provides complete security from tornados, there are other cheaper ways to make a shelter as well, one of which would be using natural soil as walls, so all you'd need to do is make sure the roof is well secured. that cuts the initial estimate down to 6k+. there's a literal ton of information on all of this readily available online and you still choose to be ignorant and opt for "praying it wont hit you" rather then doing something to prevent the damage it can cause. ridiculous logic. you shouldn't keep animals if you cannot vouch for their safety, it common sense.
@@gamethatplaysyou Common sense you say, huh? Think about what @jenniferbell4571 is saying, a barn filled with livestock animals. Not people. ~500ft2 is not a lot of space, roughly about the size of a one-bedroom apartment. 2020 Kansas Report on the state's sheep and goat industry states that average flock sizes in Kansas is approximately 133-145 heads. You think you can cram about 133-145 sheep into a ~500ft2 one-bedroom apartment?
@@greatshaggy7253 by those numbers, you would need approx. 4 times 500ft2 to accommodate 133-145 heads for the duration of the tornado. stretch that over the period of couple of years, you can't convince me it's a luxurious investment if it guarantees the safety of your main income source. more likely people like to take their chances with nature and curse it when it does what statistics said it would in that area.
I guess if I watched a tornado go through a yard and destroy the home I'd pull in to see if anyone was hurt and needed help.
Lol yeah ok sure 😂
Why would you do that when you could make some autism-spectrum comments about the property damage and then post your lack of empathy to youtube for likes?
@@somnuswaltz5586Funny how you’re under every comment moderating lol log out for a bit and let your blood pressure calm down
That's why you wouldn't last as a storm chaser. Too soft.
@@MichaelAMyers1957What a stupid comment.
While I understand the awe of witnessing a tornado, coming from a weather nerd, the lack of sympathy for the people’s homes and barns getting destroyed is sickening. There could be people in there, or livestock in the barns. It’s like they’re not even sad about the fact someone could’ve possibly lost their life.
Really???? Poor house? There's people in those houses 😢
Lmfao
If those people in the home give their thoughts and prayers to the magic sky king, they will come out fine.
Insane the level of some people.
they arent in the house,, they are in the cellar
@@jettsteari3062 that's not the point. It was just insensitive for the lady to just say poor house instead of saying I hope everyone is safe.
"poor house" , "it's only insulation" the video is spectacular but the lack of concern for those possibly affected in those two homes is strange, I only can hope you confirmed all were safe or no one was present and did not elect to include that information in your video.
They don’t care, they just keep driving around like idiots, thinking they’re going to be famous.
Well, send a few bucks in donation to charities helping those hit. Or don't watch the videos making them more profitable.
Similar argument not to film *any* disaster then of course.
You must be fun at parties
Great footage but very irresponsible. “Look how close you can get to a tornado and not get hurt!” What’s the point of these videos if they don’t help anyone? 4:47
I feel like that roof flyin through the air is gonna be these kids in their car while they yell WOOOOO in the near future.
I dont understand ? You see houses getting hit , and you don't check up on the occupancies ? Whats with That ?
Leave it to professionals, your lack of empathy to what is actually happening to human beings, business's, and animals in the path of these violent storms is ridiculous. Hoping the storm would " hit " something, just so you can get a thrill and likes shows your lack of experience.
Not like he can do anything to stop it. "leave it to professionals" what are you on about?😂
Why are you glorifying something that ruins many peoples lives???
Close up footage is anxiety inducing and all
But something about 2:00 just made me go "NO, NO, NO, GOD NO"
Prayers for everyone affected by the tornadoes.
Affected, not effected.
@@TheReasonableSkeptic-ii4te I stand corrected.
I’m so so sorry for the people who were affected by this storm.

That’s the most insane footage I’ve seen yet. Absolutely stunning. Good job y’all. Prayers for the people of Nebraska yesterday with all the tornadoes.
You people need to Stop! Judging! And be grateful that we have storm chasers to tape a storm so close to them! There's no rule or law about how amateur a storm chaser should be! You gotta start somewhere, and I think they did a Awesome! Job!!!👍❤
At the 4:35 mark -> you folks were actually in the outer wind fields of the tornadic circulation. It was this same phenomenon that killed Tim Samaris and his team at the El Reno storm in 2013, when a satellite tornado of the muti-vortex tornado swept their car off the road. Do be careful, but at the same time, amazing shots.
The satellites looked like a carousel at that point. That + its speed + the abrupt turn north + Tim's underpowered rental car killed them.
Don't chase for views. Chase to inform people of the coming danger.
These folks on here look like their chasing for views, likes and shares.
like reed who has compassion to save lives who actually does search and rescue
holy shit, the way that subvortex at 2:48 lifted the roof off that barn so specifically... looked like the finger of a hand reaching down to grab and play with it before flicking it into the field. Also, that wide-angle shot at 5:35 just absolutely amazing; looked like the entire wall cloud was damn near on the ground
Years ago, I had a roommate who had relatives in OK. they had a used car lot. A tornado hit one day (no warnings in those days - no weather radar) and they hunkered down in the building on the lot. It passed, the building was damaged but they were all right. A lot of the cars were just gone.
@@mlbrooks4066 God's hedge of protection
5:35 is an amazing still shot of this monster literally spinning on the road.
This footage is haunting, as is your reaction to it.
cry harder
@@LifesizemortalzGen harder
I understand your concern. The footage can indeed be haunting, and reactions that seem indifferent or detached can make it even more unsettling. It’s important to approach these events with the empathy and respect they deserve. Your comment underscores the need for sensitivity and understanding when discussing or viewing such devastating events. How do you think we can encourage more compassionate reactions to these types of footage?
@@SUPREME-EARTH-MOMENTSget naked and thrust your winkus into the general direction of the Nader and laugh and say WOOOOHOOOOO AHYUK HYUK HYUK GORSHHH when it slabs someone’s farm
Watched on Ryan Hall yesterday. Very intense storms. Thank you to all who risked their lives in order to save others. Many thanks to all involved in this and Prayers to all affected.
Thank you for being one of the ONLY people to comment this. No one seems to care that people are hurt, people's homes are DESTROYED. All because they got to witness some cool clouds on video. It's disgusting.
@@akaisha0000 I so understand what you are saying. I was a first responder for 30+ years. I won't go into what I've seen or did. The people and others that have to go through this awful time need to be remembered and helped. Yes ,the clouds are awesome to watch but the devistation they leave behind is overwhelming. Prayers and on the ground help from others ( out of the area) are so needed> Thank you for your kind complement
Absolutely, the intensity of those storms was staggering. 🌩 A huge thank you to everyone who risked their lives to help others-your bravery and dedication are truly commendable. It’s also important to send our prayers and support to all those affected by the storms. Every bit of compassion and assistance makes a difference. Your appreciation and acknowledgment of these efforts are much needed and appreciated.
Just randomly a collection of some Top5 all-time tornado footage. All in one.
Incredible. Ridiculous. Amazing.
Magnificent! Never seen such footage of a Tornado such as this one! Award Winning.
Interesting footage but do you stop to check on people for injuries? Much more important than a few minutes of footage. Dale
to be fair thought they where rude not stopping and checking as they could of been hurt more worried about the right video then someone's life
@Tight_Young_Snatch You damn sure would if you were laying under a pile of rubble with nails, glass, wood and who knows what all stuck in your body. Dale
Did anyone else see the intense multi-vortex inside the main circulation at 5:17?
Yes, eerily familiar.
@@CMasta121 I'm guessing El Reno. Just not quite as massive.
Crazy shit
WOW!!! Some unbelievable footage!!! That roof flying through the air was insane!
Just wondering...do you stop to see if people in damaged homes need help??
The roof was not insane.
That roof was totally loco
While witnessing a tornado can be something to behold, while you're going "Oooo, wow", bear in mind that there might be a family in that house that just got hit.
I heard it & they did not make that comment in the manner that you assume.
What can they do?
I believe your videos would be better served without audio from you. Maybe a second camera outside the car to capture sound and then edit together. You seem happy when it hits a structure. Maybe call 911 to report the addresses hit so someone can make sure they are alright. Peoples lives are at stake here.
100% agree. “Isnt that beautiful!?” “Looks like its going to hit that house, bye house! Nice one too, you got that, right?!” made me sick.
He meant “beautiful” from a physics stand point. Stop it and grow up.
I was going to say same thing. I get that it is science and weather and caught up on the moment, but you are forgetting that people's lives are being destroyed as you get excited about science. Use music and mute your conversations from this point forward please. When I heard her nonchalantly say " oh poor house, beautiful house" it made my skin crawl and blood boil.
@@jacquelinenicole4740people making stupid comments like this, make my blood boil. GROW UP, life is not full of rainbows.
@@Machria23 seriously, I need to grow up while you name call? My comment was stupid nor am I a child. I would appreciate you not addressing me again.
You are getting *WAY* too aggressively close to these tornados like holy fuck dude. I swear storm chasers are getting more insane each year, just because Reed Timmer be driving into tornadoes doesn't mean you should mimic him.
Am I the only one who wonders why many storm chasers don't stop to see if they can be of assistance when they see a house being destroyed. Maybe someone needs help. Maybe the 1st responders are right behind them and more equipment for this. I'm just wondering, not judging.
These people don't seem like the type to help
Almost all storm chasers do. These people are the exception. And still, they may have checked after the tornado had passed. With a multi vortex tornado over a mile wide like this, it's best to let the tornado distance itself or dissipate before getting out of your car so you arent hit by debris.
Why they don't stop? They are scared to deal with the aftermath... you know suffering and maybe dead people, these are the same type of people the drive by a bad accident that has happened right in front them on the highway...
Unless they're trained to handle medical situations, they have no business in attempting to do so. You have no idea what injuries the person's are dealing with. Go dig a person out who has a neck injury, you move them, now they're paralyzed. Great, you just ruined the rest of their life. Way to go. All because you want to play hero..
You all are way too serious about their comments: If these are young people,theyre simply immature. Why judge so harshly and expect more out of them than you should?
Its expected behavior when your young. You just care more about the thrill than people . Can everyone truly tell en they werent sumilar when in your early 20s?? I was
And now i havr so much compassion and empathy for people and animals.
I agree that your glee ("Its gunna hit that barn!") Is SICK
storm chasers are getting way too close these days. Only a matter of time before something tragic happens. Please be safe.
Doesnt matter if the houses are nice or not! What about the people. Losing barns is terrible especially old ones.
I am also anxious to chase tornado like you and see in person but thank you for your clip.
I think your video content is amazing. Only one thing as a first responder. I found it slightly distasteful that you said how beautiful that tornado was. As someone who hast to come in after natural disasters they are anything but beautiful, especially when you’re pulling out victims. And I’m sure anybody who’s lost someone to a tornado didn’t find that nice at all. Might want to edit the video and take that part out.😢
All the stormchasers say these things! Dont watch the videos and then cry they get excited about capturing tornadoes!
People who have never seen a tornado don't realize how crazy of a weather event they actually are. They are terrifying and beautiful all at once.
I truly believe the lack of concern or empathy is disturbing!!
This tornado actually had 225 winds even tho it was rated ef3 the ef scale is a damage scale only but the tornado had recorded wind speeds of 225 is it was basically the same thing as a ef5 just without the damage indicators for it
Hands down the best video of these massive tornados ive seen yet 👏 stay safe today and get some more awsome video
You both did an Amazing job capturing the tornado! Please be extra careful dont get too close.
