  • Footage shot May 25, 2016 at 10 miles near Abilene, KS and crossing interstate 70. StormChasingVideo.com along with JWSevereWeather.com crews placed a 360 camera in the path of the tornado near Abilene, Kansas. The Tornado struck the camera and it recorded the tornado passing over head and all around the camera until it was ripped off its base and thrown as debris.
    Crews were able to recover the camera in a field near where it was placed.

    Christ.. I saw how intense and dangerous that tornado was.. Moral here? To those I saw under the bridges.. This would of killed you.. And this is a great example.. Wasn't expecting it to flip over at the end.. THAT was the scary part.

      @Ryan O'Toole I don't think anyone knows how powerful tornado winds truly are because nobody would be able to survive it. I just know when I see limbs bigger then me on the ground that take all my strength to drag off my driveway.. That's enough for me to respect it.

      Very likely a pice of debris hit it. That's what you call extreme wind speeds. The satellite vortices close in were barely discernable, but stunning.

Not untill you have someone standing next to you spritzing you with a water bottle with the occasional spit ball shot at your face to mimic the bigger drops of water or hail. Following it up with spinning you around in an office chair dubbing as the rotation within the tornado!
