Most children would be scared to see such severe weather. But this little kid is a fearless natural curious child. What an amazing experience for both.
I'm going to start with, I mean zero offense to Reed Timmer, if he happens to see this. Reed is a great scientist who does great work and films astonishing video that no one else can even come close to grabbing, or so it would seem. Now, with that being said, I would take this kid's commentary on tornado videos any day of the week over Reeds excited screaming that he does. This kid showed his excitement, expressed his emotion, reminded us of safety, and what he was trying to capture when he was the one filming. He managed all that without monotonously screaming BIG TIME TORNADO! 86 times in the video. Sorry Reed if you see this, still love you and will still watch every video and livestream chase! Edit: fixed a sentence
@@Justin.Q If Reed only screamed while he was intercepting one, no one would be talking about his excessive screaming. He starts screaming if he sees one 2 miles away. 🤣🤣🤣 We all understood what Phil was saying.
I can see your son growing up loving weather systems. Pretty awesome listening to him describe what he's witnessing. When he compared the size of the hail to tennis ball size, he got me. He's smart and quick.
That kid is tuff as nails! You both seem to have a pretty good understanding of these storms and how they move and evolve. Incredible journey y’all are going on! Good luck!!!
@@ninaangelina7417 I don't think watching a storm with your son and happening to see a tornado is putting him in harm's way. They clearly have helmets for the hail and they got out of there when it started to get remotely dangerous.
@@jacobkudrowich seems like a crap shoot to me. I wouldn’t care to take a chance with my children. This is why there are sirens and warnings when there are tornados in area. People are to go to shelter, not take your kid to photograph it. This is not just a storm. It’s a tornado. You can rationalize this all you want. That tornado can cause damage to homes. Thank God no one was hurt. They may not be so lucky next time. The man and his son were just on an adventure to see the titanic a few weeks ago. I am sure the father had no idea it was going to explode! If a person wants to take a chance that’s fine. He had great footage. But, don’t take your smile child out and put in harms way. They were not out there looking at a sunset!
@@ninaangelina7417 You again. You're whining so much about this. You're way overprotective. I never got to do things with my hands because my mom is like you when it comes to this stuff. Always saying that's dangerous or you're gonna hurt yourself. Plenty of kids are brought to national parks with dangerous terrain and live in places where being outside for long enough will kill you but I don't see you whining about that. Just tornadoes. And tornadoes are one of the things you're least likely to die from. You take more of a risk stepping outside on a hot day than chasing a tornado.
One of the most entertaining tornado videos posted this season! The kid's commentary was spot on and he did far better than most adult videographers who are all over the place and not focused on the "action". It's obvious that dad has taught his son well to not freak out, but to instead have a healthy respect for the awesome display of God's power in nature. Great job!!! 👏👏👏👏
Yes, fantastic job of filming the Monster Tornado!🎉🌪 Stay safe thanks for catching this. I'm currently living in Ontario, but my Homeland is Alberta! Take care guys! 🕊❤🕯🙏🏻
I don't know what I'm enjoying more: the superb footage of a tornado, or seeing an excellent father interacting with his smart, conscientious son! Best part is when the kid composes himself in the car after the bump, and ends up saying, "I'll just be more careful..." Bless you both.
@@ninaangelina7417 You gotta start em young buddy. Don't keep em cooped up in the brainwashing prison known as school and let them take in all that good information. If you live in the us of a be sure to let your kids outside to watch the big storms this afternoon. They're gonna be super pretty.
This is a child…he has no idea when to leave. But he seemed to have more sense than his father as he asked his father if they were going to leave. Poor parenting.
@@13_cmi if this kid was in school the teachers would have had him in shelter when the sirens went off. Sorry ,this is not a way to introduce your child to a positive experience. You wouldn’t take your kid to a burning building to teach him to be a firefighter, nor in a squad car with shots being fired in order to introduce him to police work. USE GOOD JUDGEMENT! It’s not hard. If there is a chance a YOUNG child will be injured DI NOT EXPOSE HIM OR HER TO DANGER! Just because as an adult you are not scared doesn’t mean a child is not ..even if they don’t express it. This child was hit with a hail stone . He WAS NOT WEARING A HELmet at the time. Father was to busy photographing and didn’t notice. Sorry…this child has NO BUSINESS in the middle of a tornado.
Awesome Footage! Video of the year! Finally A True chaser (Father & son Team) staying anchored, focused & filmed a whole Tornado without constantly moving in & out of a car & a camera facing anywhere other than on the Tornado! Bravo to you sir & your lovely son (future chaser team)! You & Your Son should have a 'Storm chaser Live stream'... 10/10. Live stream Storm chasers-'This is how you do it!
Im telling you this is going to blow up. Not only do you have a tornado on film you have an adorable future storm chaser. Even the footage is steady as well as the commentary is awesome. Good job dad.
I've seen this tornadofrom 3 different perspectives today. Thanks so much for posting the beginning! Fascinating, thanks so much! Your little boy is hilarious!
Incredible video! “Look at this BEAST!” Your son was the best commentator and you did an amazing job keeping him safe and being so genuine about hoping no one got hurt. Amazing duo!
How did he keep him safe? Did he check to see if he was wearing his seat belt? Did dad check on him when the hail stone hit his eye? He could have injured his eye or lost his sight. Jeeze. Great parenting. Did he pay any attention to him? In the beginning, dad handed him the camera to keep him quiet. Dad was more focused on filming. If he really wanted him to learn about tornadoes, he would have spent time explaining things to him as they were happening. Reed Timmer has a PhD. Many people on here, have mentioned him. Reed doesn't just randomly chase and film storms, he is using equipment to collect data for research. He also stops his chasing when a structure has been hit because he does this to save human lives as do the other professional spotters. They are in touch with the Nation Weather Service and local law, and are either trained as EMT's or Certified in First Aid and carry a kit, blankets and water. Does this guy do any of this? Is he a Certified Storm Chaser? Is he insured as a chaser? Because bringing a young child with you is a huge liability. Ask Reed just how dangerous this can be. Years ago, they were on a tornado, trying to collect information to study. The tornado turned and the lead car had no way out. Not everyone had seat belts on. The tornado picked the car up and spit it out. 3 of the guys died. The lead scientist only lived a few miles from me and it was very tragic. The American chasers that are professionals, take safety very seriously. Safety for themselves, the people in the path and the people in the aftermath. I didn't see anything professional about this. It was very dangerous, irresponsible, and borders on child endangerment.
Hey Graham, I just wanted to thank you again for coming out to help clean up in the aftermath of this tornado. We would have been lost without good folks like yourself. God bless.
Absolutely stellar view of this! Shortly after, I was in that exact area at the end of the video checking in on some friends while watching it all unfold driving from Olds. Glad you both are safe, and that kid got an experience I could have only dreamed of at that age! Take care. -Didsbury local
@@Rottimail total agree! He should have been protected! These people who are applauding this has e a screw loose. Barn cats protect their children better than this. Very poor judgement.
@@Rottimail I would let his parents decided when he's ready. He sounded confident and relaxed to me. Tornados don't avoid children just because we think a child is too young. Many children have been killed in tornados because they were too scared and panicked.
@icebiker3 Do you know how young that little boy was? Too young to decide for himself and his father didn't put his safety first. What I saw in the video is the father being totally enthralled in the tornado and not keeping his focus on his little son.
@@Rottimail totally agree. However when reviewing others posts they don’t have a clue to the danger this kid was in. So, sad only a few of us are posting how dangerous this was!
Just found your page after watching Jayjacks footage. I'm a chaser from Ottawa. Unbelievable footage. And to experience it with your son is a memory of a lifetime!
This is some incredible footage. Most tornados are over and back in to the wall cloud in just a minute or 2. I just cannot believe how that Tornado just keep gettiny stronger and bigger and continued to be on the ground for all that time.
This is by far the best footage that I’ve seen so far of this tornado. Well done! If you haven’t already been contacted by the media, send this in for sure! Only video I’ve seen that captures it from a funnel cloud and from this close!!
@@jase4270 So What? Life Lived.That Boy Has A Great Father And Shines Though His Son. Who I Thank & Job Well Done. Just Awesome. I am sure it stinged but the little tough young Man carried on. Beaming You Some Love Little Man And Your Family.
I love this kid!!! He brings excitement to the chase like reed timmer and he can take a shot from hail cry for a little and move on! Well done buddy great video
@@ninaangelina7417BS! He did not! They filmed the tornado on the highest zoom on their camera. That tornado was never even close to where they were. It was many miles away.
@@alesiap.6062 we’re you in the car? I saw a photo where child was taking videos. The child was hit in the head with hail! Child asked if they were going yet? You are seeing the world different than me. I have the instinct to protect children. My way of teaching kids is way different than yours.
@@ninaangelina7417 Got hit in the head with hail and he confidently bounced back. You're an old woman so you'll never understand a young man's mind. Don't talk for other people.
Not only is your son so entertaining and great with the camera and commentary, but you can tell by his sense of calm in a dangerous situation that he must have great trust in you as a dad and that is such a sweet thing to see.
The son seemed to have sense of uncomfort for himself he goes back in the Car a few times and rolls up windows , he has healthy gut feeling. Esp. when the Hail hit him , go seek shelter in Car and calm yourself down and look if its bad. He returns with ironical , yes its a bit red but it ok. IT think ths Child has more curage than much other adult. And if youre semi good Chaser you can see Tracking of Tornados where they will move. They have been pretty far distant
Thats going to be one of my favourite tornado videos to watch as i loved the commentry from the young boy and how entertaining to listen to him and his cute as accent. I hope his eye was alright after getting hit by the hail and dad where was his reassuring hug and kisses? Gorgeous boy
What a trooper! Your little guy took a huge hail stone to his eye, cried for like 3 seconds. And kept filming. So mature for his age, Thank you for sharing. I grew up in Manitoba for 7 years in the 80s i remember getting tornado warnings and I always went outside to see if I can see any. Never did, but saw lots of lightning. Which I love! Now I'm in Vancouver and never get tornadoes lol (actually we had a water sprout in 2022)
Your son is a great camera man and the next meteorologist or storm chaser. We enjoyed listening to him explain the dangers of weather/tornadoes. while you both stayed safe and enjoyed the cool event of nature 😎
Your son is awesome Bro. His commentry is way better than most pro tornado chasers. Kid has got guts too, he is so claim. Amazing. And his camera work is really good. He will be a Badas5 when gets older i will bet.
Well I don't know what you think happens when whether disasters happen and the ppl who are victims of them have kids. Stuff happens. You can't shelter your kids away and hide every danger from them. They need to know there are dangers with weather and many other things. None of us live in a protective bubble. Life happens, and it is far better and wiser to prepare your kids for life, than it is to coddle them, and hide them away. You can't hide from Mother nature. Tornados hit all the time. And there are kids who experience them and see what they do. Those kids are far smarter and better equipped to handle things life throws at them. I mean heavens, no kids would have survived any of the wars that have happened in this world, the Great Depression, I could go on and on, according to you. Yet they did survive. And it made them stronger, smarter, and braver.
I have watched this 5-6 times, every time this little fella makes me smile and laugh! What a smart little guy he is. I adore his commentary. Future scientist ❤
@@Gerhartificationwhat is wrong with you people. So what? He is to young to make a decision and be ok about being blinded at that age OMG. So if you think that a kid going blind by hail is no big deal then the next time a parent starves their kid....so what....maybe the kid should have been smart enough to eat the cocktail roaches? Serves him right? Someone dropped you on your head as a baby.
My mom lost everything. Literally everything to this tornado. Thank God she was able to escape with her dog and one cat before it hit her, but she’s lucky to be alive. Three horses pretty severely injured…I had to put one down unfortunately. The other two should hopefully be able to recover. Two other cats probably dead.
So sorry to hear that. It's hard to loose animals and your memories. I had a similar experience a young child. I found some of my toys several miles away one day in a ditch at the grocery store when we parked. They were muddy. That's all I remember. Sending prayers from the US, I hope that your mom gets help and recovers. 😢❤❤❤
@@gsdmom1194 Thank you very much. We had over 200 people out to help us start cleaning up the debris field today. The support was almost emotionally overwhelming to see that many people out to help us. If there's a silver lining in all this, the support from the community has restored a huge amount of faith in humanity that I had lost over the last few years.
That's horrible for the cats. I heard some lady in texas lost some cats to a tornado a couple weeks back. She had one cat left. I'm a sucker for cats so it's not fun to hear that some lost their friends.
I must say your little boy is a fantastic camera man in the back of a moving vehicle, in that moment you can see something very unique, because of the way the tornado is picking up dirt you can physically see the rotation of the inflow winds wrapping around the updraft winds. My heart goes out to anyone who was effected by the events of the day and to the future storm chaser never stop chasing!
The kid asked his dad are you happy? How many kids at that moment in time would be thinking about their dad's happiness. You've done a hell of a job with that boy.❤
This is because the kid was scared and was trying to please his father. Yes’m he didn’t cry as he knew this is not the way to get this sort of fathers attention. Did you hear the kid say they were too close? Did you see the kid injured? He was whistling in the dark. So sad he has to be subjected to this to get fathers attention. Quality time watching videos and or taking videos at family events could teach this child without putting him in danger. You folks are way off applauding this situation. So, sad.
I am so interested in seeing the ground scouring from this beast.. My heart is with Didsbury and its community... I couldnt even fathom the intense fear of seeing this monstrosity for those in the way of this, and my heart to the farms directly impacted by this.. Thank-you to you and your brave son for capturing this
It definitely was a shredder. Only a handful of tornadoes this year actually shredded up stuff like this thing did. Nobody was hurt but I'm sure their wallets are gonna be screaming because all their damaged farming equipment is horribly expensive.
best kid's reaction ever! Brave, excited, resilient (poked in the eye with hail), he holds on to that camera in the wind and rain and moving car. Seriously, he needs on the news with his amazing reactions.
"Absolute beeeee-ast, it's huge!" "It's cra-a-a-zee big! HUGE!" "The hail's been going on for a solid 5 or 10 min. At least 5 min" "This is insane! This is why you WANT to stay far from tornados. They can be cool but they can also be deadly." Very well said little guy! I totally enjoyed the little guy's play by play report. "Hollee smoke. This is insane." "There's clear blue skies right next to the beeee-ast." Great recording too! But, seriously, I'm so sorry you got hurt, little guy. I hope that no-one got seriously hurt. This is happening in Didsbury.???? What the.... ???????? I'll agree with the little guy: This is insane. -Angele
I’m 45 and from the Scottish highlands. My kids are 24, 20 and 19 and I miss sharing stuff with them that gets them excited like your wee fella! Hearing his happy wee comments made me giggle and I just wish we had tornados and extreme thunderstorms where I live as I’ve never experienced either. My husband thinks I’m nuts, but if ever win the lottery I’m so heading across the Atlantic during tornado season. In the meantime, thank you for sharing this awesome footage 👍🏻
What a cool core memory to share with your son!! Such an amazing experience that he will definitely remember for the rest of his life! Happy Canada day 🇨🇦🥳
It can, but it was too many miles from where they were to be any danger to them even if it did. Their Camera was zoomed in to the highest level making the tornado appear to be much closer to them than it actually was. Every time that tornado got with 5 miles they got in the car and left. They were never in danger..
What really bothered me was that dad didn't pay very much attention to his child and was more concerned with the footage. Hard hat and bike helmet....yay. Did he ever check to see if he was buckled? Everyone talks about the young boy being the next Reed. When Reed has people riding in the backseat, and they are close to a tornado, he asks if they are buckled because he knows what it's like to loose friends when a car it tossed by a tornado. The professional chasers in America, like Reed, never take footage over safety. If they are chasing and there is a home that is hit, they stop chasing and check the home for people who need help. They never chase blind without radar. I think if you asked them to give an opinion, they would think it was great that the child was interested but not so great that dad could have put him in danger and instead of "teaching" him....and Boy, that was a Teachable moment in terms of meteorology, he ignored him and filmed 90% of the time. Shame on you, dad!!!! Step back and ask yourself, Do you do this all the time? Is he interested because he wants you to pay attention to him?

@@Rottimail totally agree. However when reviewing others posts they don’t have a clue to the danger this kid was in. So, sad only a few of us are posting how dangerous this was!
Holy smoke! Your little boy is a natural.
Great footage from both of you!
Just found your page after watching Jayjacks footage. I'm a chaser from Ottawa. Unbelievable footage. And to experience it with your son is a memory of a lifetime!
That's one lucky kid, getting to see that storm.
This is some incredible footage. Most tornados are over and back in to the wall cloud in just a minute or 2. I just cannot believe how that Tornado just keep gettiny stronger and bigger and continued to be on the ground for all that time.
That was amazing footage! Your young son did a really good job capturing it after you passed the phone to him.
The kid should become a cameraman when he’s older lol
It took me a minute to realize the son was filming. He done amazing.
@@foundationuser5043He already is !❤
Kids are growing up with phones now and are used to them at a young age. I'm not surprised that kids are learning these skills young
I was watching this from a baseball game in Olds. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Wow !! This is excellent footage. Thanks for sharing!
This is by far the best footage that I’ve seen so far of this tornado. Well done! If you haven’t already been contacted by the media, send this in for sure! Only video I’ve seen that captures it from a funnel cloud and from this close!!
Aaron jayjack's is better
This ain't the best footage and is that guy storm chasing with his kid?
@@Canuckgirl152yep and Jayjack is licensed storm Chaster. This guy puts his child in danger. These tornadoes can suck you up
@@jase4270I totally agree.
@@jase4270 So What? Life Lived.That Boy Has A Great Father And Shines Though His Son. Who I Thank & Job Well Done. Just Awesome. I am sure it stinged but the little tough young Man carried on. Beaming You Some Love Little Man And Your Family.
This is awesome, guys. What father/Son memories are being made here.
I love this kid!!! He brings excitement to the chase like reed timmer and he can take a shot from hail cry for a little and move on! Well done buddy great video
Kid doesn’t belong in a car in harms way!
Excellent footage. I watch a lot of this and this is among the best I've seen. Thanks for sharing!
The little guy got injured but toughed it out to finish the job superbly.
Sh*t happens when you're making documentaries!
He handled it like a Trooper!
🕊❤🌪🕯🙏🏻
Father put his son in harms way.
@@ninaangelina7417BS! He did not! They filmed the tornado on the highest zoom on their camera. That tornado was never even close to where they were. It was many miles away.
@@alesiap.6062 we’re you in the car? I saw a photo where child was taking videos. The child was hit in the head with hail! Child asked if they were going yet? You are seeing the world different than me. I have the instinct to protect children. My way of teaching kids is way different than yours.
@@ninaangelina7417 Got hit in the head with hail and he confidently bounced back. You're an old woman so you'll never understand a young man's mind. Don't talk for other people.
The kid filming is a better cameraman than at least 75% of storm chasers.
Should not even been in the car!
Your son is awesome and fearless! I love his commentary!
A future TH-camr in the making, pretty smart kid. Very observant
Not only is your son so entertaining and great with the camera and commentary, but you can tell by his sense of calm in a dangerous situation that he must have great trust in you as a dad and that is such a sweet thing to see.
So how would you feel if the tornado picked up the car and both were killed? The son has no business in the car unless he is of age.
The son seemed to have sense of uncomfort for himself he goes back in the Car a few times and rolls up windows , he has healthy gut feeling. Esp. when the Hail hit him , go seek shelter in Car and calm yourself down and look if its bad. He returns with ironical , yes its a bit red but it ok. IT think ths Child has more curage than much other adult. And if youre semi good Chaser you can see Tracking of Tornados where they will move. They have been pretty far distant
@@ninaangelina7417 Read the comment below. The kid knows what's good and what's bad. Probably better than me and you both.
I'm living the father son interaction here. I think you might have a new storm chaser on your hands
Thats going to be one of my favourite tornado videos to watch as i loved the commentry from the young boy and how entertaining to listen to him and his cute as accent.
I hope his eye was alright after getting hit by the hail and dad where was his reassuring hug and kisses?
Gorgeous boy
It was his upper arm that got hit on the fleshy bit but it still hurts! I got hit in the thumb with one later on.
Please let your son know he is a very brave young lad!! Great job to the both of you and thank you for risking your car for this footage.
This child has NO BUSINESS in the car. He is being put into harms way!
Whisking the car… is that what you are concerned with?.??? What about risking a underage child’s life????
Risking
Subscribed! Just to hear the way your son is reporting the "huuuuge tornado", massive....
What a partner he is ❤️
What a trooper! Your little guy took a huge hail stone to his eye, cried for like 3 seconds. And kept filming. So mature for his age, Thank you for sharing. I grew up in Manitoba for 7 years in the 80s i remember getting tornado warnings and I always went outside to see if I can see any. Never did, but saw lots of lightning. Which I love! Now I'm in Vancouver and never get tornadoes lol (actually we had a water sprout in 2022)
Common sense would be to get his child to shelter!!!!
He's pretty tough for sure. I have a younger brother and he'd be crying for days.
Great job guys!! What a long duration tornado. I hope everyone is safe. 🙌👏
I think your son is the next Reed Timmer!! Loved his commentary. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I second this comment. Such a smart little guy! Even when he got hurt “I’ll be more careful “ most anyone would just be done by then.
Yeah, he is much calmer than Reed😁
You stayed there a lot longer than I would have ! Brave soul!
Your son is a great camera man and the next meteorologist or storm chaser. We enjoyed listening to him explain the dangers of weather/tornadoes. while you both stayed safe and enjoyed the cool event of nature 😎
Your son is awesome Bro. His commentry is way better than most pro tornado chasers. Kid has got guts too, he is so claim. Amazing. And his camera work is really good. He will be a Badas5 when gets older i will bet.
I don’t know anything about storm chasing, but really uncomfortable with a child present on the scene…
Agree.
Well I don't know what you think happens when whether disasters happen and the ppl who are victims of them have kids. Stuff happens. You can't shelter your kids away and hide every danger from them. They need to know there are dangers with weather and many other things. None of us live in a protective bubble. Life happens, and it is far better and wiser to prepare your kids for life, than it is to coddle them, and hide them away. You can't hide from Mother nature. Tornados hit all the time. And there are kids who experience them and see what they do. Those kids are far smarter and better equipped to handle things life throws at them. I mean heavens, no kids would have survived any of the wars that have happened in this world, the Great Depression, I could go on and on, according to you. Yet they did survive. And it made them stronger, smarter, and braver.
This father son experience is perfect! That’s one brave young man! And Dad, you’re giving him an experience that he will NEVER forget!
great filming team.
I have to say, your child did a fantastic job on your video👏🏻 Really cool looking tornado🌪 Y'all stay safe🧿
I have watched this 5-6 times, every time this little fella makes me smile and laugh! What a smart little guy he is. I adore his commentary. Future scientist ❤
The hail that hit your child's eye at 21 minutes could have blinded him.
So What? Life Lived.That Boy Has A Great Father And Shines Though His Son, Who I Thank & Job Well Done. Just Awesome.
@@GerhartificationExactly!❤
@@Gerhartificationwhat is wrong with you people. So what? He is to young to make a decision and be ok about being blinded at that age OMG. So if you think that a kid going blind by hail is no big deal then the next time a parent starves their kid....so what....maybe the kid should have been smart enough to eat the cocktail roaches? Serves him right? Someone dropped you on your head as a baby.
@@Gerhartification The hail later DOES hit the boy in the eye. You're off.
Yes, great coverage. Your son’s a gem!
Awesome video, thank you!
Hah your son will be the next Reed Timmer storm chaser. What a great co-pilot and recorder! Praying for everyones safety 🙏
My mom lost everything. Literally everything to this tornado. Thank God she was able to escape with her dog and one cat before it hit her, but she’s lucky to be alive. Three horses pretty severely injured…I had to put one down unfortunately. The other two should hopefully be able to recover. Two other cats probably dead.
So sorry to hear that. It's hard to loose animals and your memories. I had a similar experience a young child. I found some of my toys several miles away one day in a ditch at the grocery store when we parked. They were muddy. That's all I remember.
Sending prayers from the US, I hope that your mom gets help and recovers. 😢❤❤❤
@@gsdmom1194 Thank you very much. We had over 200 people out to help us start cleaning up the debris field today. The support was almost emotionally overwhelming to see that many people out to help us. If there's a silver lining in all this, the support from the community has restored a huge amount of faith in humanity that I had lost over the last few years.
That's horrible for the cats. I heard some lady in texas lost some cats to a tornado a couple weeks back. She had one cat left. I'm a sucker for cats so it's not fun to hear that some lost their friends.
the tornado looks enormous. wow
I must say your little boy is a fantastic camera man in the back of a moving vehicle, in that moment you can see something very unique, because of the way the tornado is picking up dirt you can physically see the rotation of the inflow winds wrapping around the updraft winds. My heart goes out to anyone who was effected by the events of the day and to the future storm chaser never stop chasing!
The kid gets better shots than most adults 😂 🤟😎📸
Your child did a great job on filming !
Great footage, and storm chaser in training did an excellent job!
Child way too young. He was put in danger.
Best storm chasers out there. No cursing God's name in the process
Thoughts and prayers for everyone stay safe
Incredible video, felt like I was there!
I'm very thankful this tornado didn't hit Edmonton, AB.
The kid asked his dad are you happy? How many kids at that moment in time would be thinking about their dad's happiness. You've done a hell of a job with that boy.❤
This is because the kid was scared and was trying to please his father. Yes’m he didn’t cry as he knew this is not the way to get this sort of fathers attention. Did you hear the kid say they were too close? Did you see the kid injured? He was whistling in the dark. So sad he has to be subjected to this to get fathers attention. Quality time watching videos and or taking videos at family events could teach this child without putting him in danger. You folks are way off applauding this situation. So, sad.
@@ninaangelina7417 I'm gonna reply to all of these. Old lady you need to stop acting like you know how young men think.
Love the commentary from the young gentleman! Too cute and incredibly wise for his young age.
I am so interested in seeing the ground scouring from this beast.. My heart is with Didsbury and its community... I couldnt even fathom the intense fear of seeing this monstrosity for those in the way of this, and my heart to the farms directly impacted by this..
Thank-you to you and your brave son for capturing this
Also, this is a great video that shows RFD and how wide the danger zone is of an active tornado.
It definitely was a shredder. Only a handful of tornadoes this year actually shredded up stuff like this thing did. Nobody was hurt but I'm sure their wallets are gonna be screaming because all their damaged farming equipment is horribly expensive.
Amazing commentary without any cursing or over the top screaming.
best kid's reaction ever! Brave, excited, resilient (poked in the eye with hail), he holds on to that camera in the wind and rain and moving car. Seriously, he needs on the news with his amazing reactions.
"Absolute beeeee-ast, it's huge!" "It's cra-a-a-zee big! HUGE!" "The hail's been going on for a solid 5 or 10 min. At least 5 min" "This is insane! This is why you WANT to stay far from tornados. They can be cool but they can also be deadly." Very well said little guy! I totally enjoyed the little guy's play by play report. "Hollee smoke. This is insane." "There's clear blue skies right next to the beeee-ast." Great recording too! But, seriously, I'm so sorry you got hurt, little guy. I hope that no-one got seriously hurt. This is happening in Didsbury.???? What the.... ???????? I'll agree with the little guy: This is insane. -Angele
I love this kid's commentary! He knows what's up and he holds the camera steady for most of it.
I was born in Kansas and raised in southwest Iowa and now in Texas. This is beautiful and yet, so deadly!!
I’m 45 and from the Scottish highlands. My kids are 24, 20 and 19 and I miss sharing stuff with them that gets them excited like your wee fella! Hearing his happy wee comments made me giggle and I just wish we had tornados and extreme thunderstorms where I live as I’ve never experienced either. My husband thinks I’m nuts, but if ever win the lottery I’m so heading across the Atlantic during tornado season. In the meantime, thank you for sharing this awesome footage 👍🏻
What a cool core memory to share with your son!! Such an amazing experience that he will definitely remember for the rest of his life! Happy Canada day 🇨🇦🥳
Amen to that!
🕊❤🇨🇦🌪🕯🙏🏻
Remember, in the movie Twister. A tornado can shift direction. Be careful
Who Watches Movies/Fiction?
It can, but it was too many miles from where they were to be any danger to them even if it did. Their Camera was zoomed in to the highest level making the tornado appear to be much closer to them than it actually was. Every time that tornado got with 5 miles they got in the car and left. They were never in danger..
Stay safe you two❤
Wow! You two are a team! The tornado was pretty good too.
This kid is amazing!
Amazing ain't it? The power of a tornado and how it forms. Think it was an EF 3 or higher. It wipped out a few houses and stuff.
I'm zooming in on the debris!!! Omg!! How cute is your little man!!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
You never know how fast it will move never take your children to a disaster.
AGREE!
Reed Timmer would be screaming "Drop it Down, Drop it Down!!!" Meanwhile the kid stayed calm and gave good commentary.
Wow! Impressive. Great video 😎👍
Reckless insanity being that close with your child.
What really bothered me was that dad didn't pay very much attention to his child and was more concerned with the footage. Hard hat and bike helmet....yay. Did he ever check to see if he was buckled? Everyone talks about the young boy being the next Reed. When Reed has people riding in the backseat, and they are close to a tornado, he asks if they are buckled because he knows what it's like to loose friends when a car it tossed by a tornado.
The professional chasers in America, like Reed, never take footage over safety. If they are chasing and there is a home that is hit, they stop chasing and check the home for people who need help. They never chase blind without radar. I think if you asked them to give an opinion, they would think it was great that the child was interested but not so great that dad could have put him in danger and instead of "teaching" him....and Boy, that was a Teachable moment in terms of meteorology, he ignored him and filmed 90% of the time. Shame on you, dad!!!! Step back and ask yourself, Do you do this all the time? Is he interested because he wants you to pay attention to him?
