- On the 4th of June 2015, Colorado put on a spectacular severe weather show with a slow moving tornado forming around one and a half miles north of Simla.
Storm spotter & chaser, Daniel Shaw supported by other storm spotters relayed reports via amateur radio to the National Weather Service.
This video shows the evolution of one of the more spectacular tornadoes of the 2015 tornado season.
Shout out to young me chasing behind Daniel and having to back up repeatedly haha. I love coming back to this video Daniel! Amazing work documenting this storm!
Oh wow! Great sharing your part!
Thanks for another perspective :) be safe chasing!
Hopefully, you've upgraded to something a little heavier if you are chasing still lol
@@kirkgoingham6095 nope haha! Still drive a compact car that has been in 3 tornadoes. I still have learned nothing since that day haha
@@StrmchsrHunterF Hahaha good stuff! If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Good luck this season!
6:45 to 7:55 THE MOST AMAZING FOOTAGE IVE SEEN!
.
ya see the storm kinda cycle..... then take in a BIG breath (wind noise ramps up)
then BOOM! tornado
.
just love it!!!
again....amazing "real time time lapse"
I love watching tornadoes form
I have to say, Daniel, that I am really enjoying the content that you're putting out. I am honestly surprised at the lack of hits on your videos! I hope that continues to increase, because people should really see these! Great work!
These are re-uploads to this new channel, so most have seen them already. New ones will likely get more views.
@@dogtrainerjen what’s the original page?

As pretty as this footage was and as much as we all appreciate you for doing what you do, please stay safe out there! That was wayyyy too close for comfort.
The time lapses were incredible, real-time footage was incredible - everything about this video was incredible. Much respect to you for what you do. My wish is to see something like this in real life someday.
It's very beautiful. That time lapse as the wall cloud forms is gorgeous - like an animated impressionistic study in greys by Turner.
When the radio guy said he'd only ever seen one other core like that - what did he mean? Was he referring to the ghostly translucent tight skinny funnel extending out from the larger denser funnel? I'm sure I've seen that a few times - though maybe not quite so long and skinny
Something about the stillness of the moment, the sharp darkness of the storm, the pure tone of the siren, and the bird chirping at 13:34 really struck me.
10:57 I can imagine if Daniel had WIndows XP back in the day that this would be his background, instead of the normal one lol
I subscribed to your channel. I like the way you conduct yourself and that you put public safety ahead of anything else. I have blasted many a chasers because they lack the ethics and know how of being a chaser, instead choose to do it for the thrill of the moment and not into saving and protecting lives. Keep doing what your doing because you are a rarity. National weather services need more individuals like you out on the road and in the field. I grew up in Kansas and Texas so I know all to well the dangers of severe weather. Thank you for what you do..
Him and Pecos Hank are always looking out for safety! If they see a car/truck on its side or know that a town has been hit, they stop the chase to do search and rescue and check on everyone. I am devoted to these channels because of that!
@@katherineduke3232 Agreed. Pecos is another one of my chaser hero’s who out life over everything else. I get so frustrated looking at chasers who laugh and carry on as if loss of life and property are funny. So I give serious kudos to those individuals who are really out there with a purpose of research, alerting the public and search and rescue.
i know these are kind of old comments, but i wanted to add: really, it just comes down to a lack of respect. people who just do this to chase an adrenaline rush don't have respect for how horrifically powerful nature can truly be. it's people who are knowledgeable, researched, devoted, and experienced who understand fully well what kind of destruction and life-changing havoc can occur during these storms. respect vs. naiveté.
Amazing reporting, footage and beautiful storm.
I’m not sure how far out you were from the nearest town, but the fact you could still hear the sirens is impressive and a good thing!
I heard at one point he was 1 ½ miles outside of Simba(?). Wind was loud right then so couldn't quite tell.
Are you or were you a weather forecaster? Love your attitude. It'll sit for hours & I'll wait. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all
Just love when you do 15x timelaps. You really get to see the flow like water.
An tornadoes produce in the same type spots when water makes whirlpools.
It is very cool to see. Thank you for that.
Because I'll keep my happy butt in south west Florida.
I can deal with a hurricane, tornadoes not so much. Lol
Don't think you're safe from tornados lol we get tornados too Florida brother
@@lucid523
Oh, I know this.
But southwest Florida is not getting a ef-4 or 5. No fingers of God.
But I was recently in a tornado or strong wind gust.
I was at my storage yard. An watching the storm roll in about a week ago. Rain came and u jump in my truck. Winds picked up pretty good. So I have a lifted truck and where I sit at the yard its protection from the way the winds were coming. So I just waited.
Even thought yo myself its tornado.
A few days later. My employee says to me "there was a tornado reported at the local news paper.
I looked at him and said I was at the yard when it came through.
He didn't know I was there and didn't realize the newspaper is right next door.
I said I verify there was a possibility of a tornado to him.
I just gave him that are you kidding me right look. When that whole conversation started. He had no clue of the information that I had. He wasn't persuaded by me and it was a random conversation with us. Lol
It's all fluid dynamics
This is a good example of how easily even a cautious chaser can be caught on their back foot. No tornado is truly predictable.
My goodness Daniel, what was that, like 100 yards? 50? That RIJ seems to have ramped up quickly after the tornado crossed.
I felt so bad for those horses, it seems like they were running straigth into the tornado... I'm pretty sure Horses are very smart animals, and ran the other way quickly. They were obviously spooked by the hail.
Iconic tornado? I liked your comment that it was so weak you could go play in it. I think that would be great fun so long as I was in one of those huge inflated balls :) Amazing chase. Many thanks for sharing.
Is there some "rules for radio operators" that says that you must put the transmitter inside your mouth, rendering your speech illegible? These people need to back off a few inches so that they can be legible over the radio.
Is that hailing coming from the rfd? I thought it was only in the ffd core
Yeah it's common for hail to wrap around the rfd. It really muddies up things on radar and is a general pain.
You are approaching a twisting storm. Please exercise caution.
Loving the new channel! Keep the vids coming!
If you're going through a hard time right now, it's okay to remind yourself that this is temporary, and there are many good and relaxing days to come. You are an amazing person and the world is lucky to have someone like you in it. I hope only good things, love and strength will come your way.
You made a positive impact on a life today, continue to spread your positivity.
If you see a vehicle littered with storm chaser gear and a middle aged man zoom past as fast as possible, best bet you better be doing the same.
what the heck! it looked like a jellyfish!
😉
Spectacular storm footage! Fascinating to see/hear what goes on
during your storm chase! Makes me appreciate all the support people,
coordinating communications.Especially enjoyed your time lapse footage
(just a little car sick on that last highway run). Glad there were no serious injuries,
but those poor horses & cattle that were getting pummeled by that big hail!
When you want to turn around aim your wheels towards the ditch to your left stop turn the tires hard left put the vehicle in reverse in one move you’ll be facing the other direction. Really fast turn same with the other direction.
The poor horses hopefully none of them got hurt looked like they didn't run very far away from the tornado.
Enjoyed this one. Amazing eye and excellent watch
Some of the best tornadogensis footage anywhere
i have a fear of tornados but tbh i feel like going east to actually face my fear
Man: "Wow, look at that funnel!"
The camera:
The tornado siren ran out of batteries
in the middle of a big storm system at the moment (SE Qld)
amazing work. amazing stuff.
Man, those cows and horses getting pelted with random sky-ice are PISSED.
"Twisting storm" sounds even more ominous than a tornado
20:00 windshield schmuck had me fooled thought it was a tornada, top right
I did the same thing. XD
You can definitely hear Hanks voice, Daniel!
The difference between light and storm is absolutely stunning. Love hearing the crickets and the birds around the 12 min mark. Just gives a surreal feeling. That silence as the tornado comes down wow. Kinda peaceful. Thanks for the vid sir.
You're like my Aussie dude Pestily from Tarkov, except your testicular fortitude for chasing these storms is absolutely in the American spirit. Thank you for being you! RESPECT! and best wishes, in 2022. Amen brother and stay alive.
That's because a tornado is actually a rotating column of air, which is the actual tornado itself. The dust and clouds that it picks up allows you to see the column of air, the dust and clouds doesn't make it the actual tornado, it just allows you to see it.
Exactly.... kinda like "how do you know the wind blows if you can't see it? You see the leaves rustling"
@@katherineduke3232 These are excellent videos by the way, did you see the brief time lapse part of this storm chase? Pretty neat!
When the first tornado was like a EF0 i 100% would have tried to get super close to it... probably wouldn't last long as a storm chaser lol.
31:07 when you're a chaser following a chaser, and they speed off super fast, i recommend following them. XD they aren't doing that for no reason. Lol
Front row seat. Up close and personal.
Who programmed that software? "You are approaching a rotating storm."
Well it's not wrong, is it?
@@DerekHartley Yes, it is wrong. Do car wheels twist? Do planets twist? Do you rotate a wet sponge to release its water--or do you twist it? The dumbing-down of language does not free up thought by lumping words together. Twist and rotate have different meanings.
i heard tornados from the 1970s when you watch them , they actually do disco. lol
And tornados in the 1920s do the Swing
@@lucid523 good one sorry i know my joke was a bad joke but just thought i would through it out there lol.
16:32 i wish i didnt have to buy a ~160 dollar program just to view 3D radar (volumetric radar)
weather underground used to have free 3d radar..... but i cant find it anymore
.
im not a live streaming chaser or news outlet!!!
im a mechanic in NE montana who just loves weather!
definitely subscribed to your new channel
This was an awesome chase to watch you go for!
AMAZING! Daniel AMAZING!
Whats with the morse code? Is that from the NWS or another spoter? Why would they still use it? Just curious.
Are you using CB ot Ham radio to communivate?
my name is daniel
31:19 there are two giant donuts in the sky
