- On August, 8th, 2023, I chased an incredible tornado near Yuma, Colorado. On the ground for nearly 30 minutes, this erratic tornado takes me on a wild adventure, as this crazy twister takes on one of the most bizarre tornado tracks ever documented.

I love how you included Ryan, Connor, Alex, and Mike. Hands down the best chase of the season, and truly the most spectacular views of this tornado. Great work, Freddy!
Love the shared victory ❤
❤️
Love how you put this together with everyone. Well done!
Thank you! They were a big part of the story that day so I had to include them somehow!
I hate myself.
1:23 I love how whoever was driving that car ahead of you had the BALLS to just pull up right next to a developing tornado and stop like the thing might not fully form in a heartbeat at any moment. Clearly, fear is a foreign concept to them.
I wouldn't be afraid of something like that.
@@colbylawson5331 Damn you're so tough and strong
Colby got owned 😭
I have one word about all of that:
What.
I would try to see if I could fly in it lol
This is hands down the best editing I've seen Freddy. Perfectly captures the abrupt transition from meteorological analysis to "HOLY CRAP TORNADO". You've outdone yourself.
was watching you live from start to finish for this chase… heart-stopping beauty and terror. extremely well captured!
Glad you were there with me! That was a wild chase
Truly!!! 😱
I love all the different video perspectives included (including mine)😆. Glad I was able to enjoy that day with you, Connor, Alex, and Mike. #Yuma2023
You guys did such an incredible job that day. Almost gave me a heart attack several times, but it was my favorite chase I've ever watched. Freddy put together a great video. I love all of you guys🙂🙃🙂🙃🫠
Thats a goldenado on yer name!
Thats a goldenado on yer name!
This was an awesome chase, definitely super scary too!
You guys need to invest in a Tesla Cyber Truck. Or at least shatter proof windows. Your life is on the line driving down the road with baseball sized hail and flying debris.
I remember this day, that was a crazy supercell for sure. Y'all did an incredible job chasing and filming the insanity of this tornado as it happened. Incredible video guys, thank y'all for what you do!
It was absolutely wild!!
Thanks for an awesome video! Glad you got out safely! Rock on!
Thank you so much Proxima! That was an awesome chase! Wishing you a very happy holiday season!
Thank you Proxima888!!

Tornado literally said "sike" to an entire town
WHY IS IT SO BIG
It's true but it's crazy that he looks at allot of tornadoes
We don't know why
Hehehe…..
That’s what she said
Oh it’s beacuse it’s a big cloud that is forming in to a tornado
Those shots around 3:00 are just scary to look at - there's something apocalyptic about a tornado that lifts dust like that.
Looks like something straight out of Fury Road
This is the first footage of a tornado this year that gave me chills. Just the detail and the close-up view of a once-in-a-lifetime tornado is crazy. The timelapse at 6:45 is just crazy as you can see how the tornado forms and starts to strengthen! Great video!
8:03 8:04
This was my favorite chase of the 2023 season. It scared me half to death and gave me a total adrenaline rush at the same time, yet I was streaming. The reason it is my favorite was because of the excitement you, Ryan, Alex, Mike, and Connor expressed. It was AMAZING. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. AWESOME remix Freddy! Heartstopping! You are legendary already! 🥰
Mine too! Thanks for the awesome comment Lisa!
Boy did that bring back emotions from your live stream that evening. 😮
Thank you Freddy for making it possible for all of us to see what you are seeing. INCREDIBLE ‼️
Now to watch it like 7 more times 😊
Ya, this one is 100% a multiple replay scenario! Watching it live was INSANE
@@paigemaddi it was definitely insane! ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!! 😂
Watched it live! It was insane.. great work Freddy!❤️
Thanks Mads!!
It was crazy catching this one live. If some of you guys haven't seen the streams, they are insane. 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks for sharing all these otherworldly experiences with us!
You've captured absolutely fantastic tornado footage!! The best I've seen this year.
Same! Definitely the best 😮🤯
Thank you so much! I’ve been very fortunate this year!
4:16 🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪 years ago today i was
One of the best chasing videos this year. Keep up the insane work Freddy!!
You're another great channel @tornadotrx!!!
Your in a ef 4 or 5
Slowly shifting into a tornado nut myself, and what a feast this was! Absolutely fantastic editing and fitting music choices, and the fact you did it with friends adds a nice charm to it. I didn’t know tornadoes could loop :]!
That was the most insane chase I have witnessed. Especially, the 3 different types of tornado that made itself known from one storm. That was intense!!!! Felt like I was reliving that live stream again!!!! Awesome to see you, Ryan, Alex, Mike, and Connor were all there to capture that incredible footage!!!!
Thanks D Man!!
Great job with this. I remember watching the thing unfold on your and other streams. This video really helps us understand the lifecycle of this unique tornado.
Wow, it's pretty rare to see up-close a tornado just starting. It's so undeveloped at that point it's no more than a dust devil.
Absolutely love what you do! Keep being you and keep chasing 🩷🩷
At around 5m20s it shows a satellite tornado, and then later the tornado becomes a wedge. I am wondering whether this type satellite tornado might be the same type as the "dead man walking" type (like the one in Jarrell TX 1997) which became an F5 tornado, or if the dynamics are different between this one and the one in Jarrell TX.
This footage is awesome!
Easily the best chase I've seen this season. Thank you for sharing this awesome footage with us!
You have a winning combination of amazing imagery, audio and visual explanations (I need them), and passion. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Hey, what are you take my money I’m gonna put you on the computer
2:41 BRO THAT WAS GIANT
Absolutely incredible footage. And great work on editing all this together into a video that's a blast to watch from beginning to end!
Incredible day. Such an insane chase with you guys! Keep on crushing it man! 💪 #Yuma2023
I was so happy you were safe! #Gianthail/tornados
your video actually answered something I was wondering a while back- what do the beginnings of a tornado look like up close. you've got some awesome footage of it. :)
I'm currently working towards my degree to ultimately secure my future as not only a storm chaser, but as a meteorologist. I like how you are a veteran storm chaser & know the limits of what social media seems to do now. Yuma tornado was a beautiful & stunning tornado. Highly unusual in its path & yet still powerful. An EF3.
Nice work Freddy. Hoping I can get out a lot this next year. Been way to busy with work the last few years.
Wow I'm criminally early for this video. Another amazing one Freddy! You've quickly become one of my go to chasers to watch. Your videography, editing, and story telling so amazing. Keep up the great work and live your dream brother!
Can you see the dead man walking at 9:59 ? There is a Vortex appearing to the right of the main Tornado and it looks like a giant taking a step forward
The legend Itself!
Same
where, I cant see it
This is crazy, I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more people talking about it. Keep it up!
dude you’ve become a legendary tornado chaser! great catch man also what gear do you use to mount your camera near your shifter/dashboard area @0:49
Thanks man! It's a Manfrotto fluid head that's attached to a metal pole that comes up from the floorboard. Had to do some welding, but it was definitely worth it for what I do.
Freddy... 😳 my heart was beating so fast watching this! First of all 2:40 and 3:00 are INSANE footage clips. Secondly, EXTREMELY well done video! I am thoroughly impressed! 🎉 you are awesome 😊❤
He did amazing for sure!! Miss you girl ❤️🥰
@@MadiYT. miss you too!! 💙
Sorry for raising your heart rate so much. I’ll try to be more careful next time 😂
@@FreddyMcKinney 😆
You really get into the intense areas of these storms and I love it! I love watching you taste these things because I’ve never seen anybody get as consistent as you have at the most intense storms I’ve ever seen. Very nice job keep it up.
brother, you made the best production ive ever seen. this is cinematic!
Good Work!
this is one of the best tornado videos I have ever watched. thanks for uploading!
6:26 -6:28 "look at the rope man look at the rope ..it's roping out it's roping out "🤣🤣🤣🤣
stormchasers and repeatedly shouting extremely obvious things, name a more iconic duo
Tornados are truly amazing and how big and small all the types of tornados are very amazing how much work and risk you guys take to share these tornados with us all we care about is how much effort risk and work for these videos thank you.
That's some incredbile footage!!! Great job and please stay safe ♥These things are no joke.
I have studied tornado genesis for decades. Without going in to details, a current hypothesis of mine is that many tornados are are actually two are more stacked and embedded within each other. Not satellite tornadoes, but one or more emanating from different heights within the same parent updraft.
That’s what you captured at 09:56. That’s a high altitude deposition*/sublimation “engine” driven tube tornado descending down within a low altitude condensation “engine” driven wedge tornado.
Awesome and important that there.
*Gas straight to solid. Water vapor straight to ice.
Ive only been watching your account for 2 days now but i am so happy i found it,cause honestly i am obsessed with nature, and would want to learn everything about it, and your videos are so perfect. Perfect videography, explanations are just flawless! I love everything about your channel.
You gained urself a subscriber 💗
First video i saw of you guys (recently got quite interested in tornado channels). This is well captured but one thing I really like is the map information, helps put things in perspective. Subbed.
I've now seen both you and Reed cover this tornado in great detail and it's such an incredible sight. I don't chase but I would have loved to see this in person..
I live in Colorado and in the area that I live in there are not tornado sirens. They tell us that we do not need them because tornadoes do not hit west of I-25. Yet we had one that did exactly that earlier in the year.
The yell at 3:54 had me laughing so hard. 😆😂🤣
You guys have really valuable information on the tornado as it forms even that dust can help scientists understand how tornadoes form and why.
Dont let it go to waist and amazing video :)
Amazing video thank you so much for sharing it I live in Colorado about 60 miles from Yuma so it was scary my Aunt lives there amazing video of the tornado
Interwiewer: What do you enjoy doing?
Freddy McKinney:
Sweet video maybe one day I'll get to chase or see a Land Tornado (I have seen a waterspout come ashore and become a brief Tornado/Landspout) I live right by Lake Erie so I do get to see Waterspouts on Lake Erie Alot October 7th 2023 I caught a huge outbreak in Fairport Harbor Ohio I observed 55 Waterspout Funnel Clouds and 7 Mature Waterspouts that day
9:06 gave me goosebumps, your staring at death itself.
Most tornadoes last up to about 20 minutes, but to see this thing go through this many cycles and last this long is CRAZY. Good luck out there and I'm glad you're safe. 😄
I hope they understand how terribly things could go in a lick. Stay safe out there, love what you're doing though.
tornadoes are one of the many things that amaze me more the more i learn about them
also DAYUM what was that intro music
"look at the rope out ..wowza "😂😂
Good chasing guys! Fantastic footage, bet the livestream was crazy to be watching at the time.
Yoo that frist tornado looked insane!!!! And it looked so cool! Btw this video is awesome!
58.9k subs and producing content like this? You earned a new sub!
This was awesome footage and I was worried you’d get hit for a second towards the end!
Im so glad ur okay!!
Im pretty sure it became a multi vortex at its wedge form- but i might be wrong.
Wow….what an awesome chase! Love how you all work together on this one. You are one very talented dude. Not only the chase, but the editing on the video is also great work!
What happens if I just… stop the tornado while it’s forming?
WYDM that’s literally impossible😂
@@Titan_TV_man666- ik but like… whose stopping me? Physics?
@@ihatepen real bro 🤣
Staring down a tornado coming right at you is insane, amazing and informative video!
Great footage and editing. I also appreciate the respectful dialogue and the lack of profanity, even when emotions are high; thank you for that. BTW, “vortex” is the singular, “vortices” is the plural, and “vorticie” is not a word.
That is so ominous but absolutely beautiful all at the same time!! Phenomenal job guys!!!
Multi-Vortex tornado, Dust Devil, Dead Man Walking, Satellite tornado, Bowl tornado, Nocturnal tornado, Wedge tornado, ( Mother of All Tornados ) : Supercell
F4: Destructor of Houses, Towns or Villages. Can destroy over 30-100 houses. This level is on the god level of tornados.
F3: Almost strong, can destroy a village. I'd say a strong level.
F2: Probably a strong tornado cause, it'll probably destroy over 20-30 houses, so medium tornado level.
F1: Probably weak tornado or cause a bit of a damage so deadly weak tornado level
F0 : meh its a weak deadly tornado level
You forgot F5
Havnt seen you guys chase yet, but I’m on you guys now ❤️ first ten minutes of this video I realised that Connor just drives into a tornado every chance he gets lol
Man, this is crazy! Especially the intro!
That tornado was amazing thank you for showing us!
Incredible! Got yourself a new subscriber before five minutes in. At 2:39, how big was the hail that got your windshield? And what was its EF rating at each stage (if known)?
great stuff man im from cali and appreciate all chasers showing us the dangers and beauty of these things
As a person who has never seen a tornado in my entire life I am very thankful that in Bulgaria there are no tornadoes bc this is HUGE.
Cool video! This tornado might be one of the most well documented tornadoes ever.
WOAH YOU GIYS WE HAVE TO GET HIM TO 10 MILLION HES LITERALLY RISKING HIS LIFE FOR VIEWS PLEASE GET HIM TO TEN MILL I APPRECIATE ALL THE VIDS HE COULD’VE NOT MAKED IT THAT IS INSANE HE RISKED SO MUCH. 😮❤😊
I can not believe that storms are so strong like be safe out there storm chasers❤
it almost looks like that thing was orbitating around something else. CRAZY!!
The cloud at 2:55 is terrifying
I remember tracking this and watching your live, had to be one of the craziest lives i have ever seen!
You just helped me overcome my fear of tornadoes❤❤👏👏
Easily one of the best tornado videos I’ve ever watched!
Filming the feeding habits of these Massive Beings will lead to saving lives!!! Keep up the great work 👍
The thumbnail of this video is way more scary than you think. Look, if you see a tornado forming tentacles or a double tornado, that means the tornado is so hungry, that it is forming tentacles. And for most people who have seen that, it was the last thing they ever saw too. I hope you understood. Have a good day😊✨
If tentacles are forming off a tornado then it’s a multi vortex tornado. That is either a very strong EF4 or EF5
I'm going to be dead dead if I stayed there
Scene right out of Mad Max Fury Road, but for Reals!! Great video guys!!!
I know these things are monsters and devastate so many lives but in that footage, at or around 5:20, the tornado almost looks like a graceful ballet dancer en pointe, pirouetting on a single leg, with its second one occasionally coming into view as it spins. The surrounding cloud system looks like layers of a dancer's floaty underskirt.
(So dark and dangerous yet strikingly beautiful in that moment.)
Awesome stuff Freddy! You boys know how to get business done!
I am so happy that one of the year's most incredible tornado happened in my home state of Colorado
YURRR this is gonnna be great
Darn your a great storm chaser! One day, you and reed should collaborate! Keep chasing!
This channel is awesome! Like Channel Discovery level production and vibes that are really exciting!
The plains tornadoes are so beautiful. Western Kansas and eastern Colorado with all the flat land makes for some super photogenic tornadoes
I never thought a storm could produce more than one tornado. I think on of them was an F5. Keep up The Amazing Videos.
I live near Yuma Colorado and I tracked this storm and tornado all the time that I could, I was in school though. I live near Denver btw.
At the end it is also multi vortex
Great work on this video! It’s entertaining and get straight to the point. 👏👏😁
Was very confused why I was recommended your channel by TH-cam. An hour of A tier content later I understand. Great stuff, well shot and super interesting.
no joke! You guys have gotten some premium footage! Seriously congrats! It’s hard to catch!
I wonder the loops could've been due to those satellites spawning. The one you captured at 5:07 is crazy, not only due to its size, but also how high in the air it was.
If the satellite was trying to force a handoff, then it might've repositioned the inflow to where the main circulation got pushed around a bit before reorganizing back to stability. The fact that it eventually turned into a multivortex wedge suggests maybe it had a few opportunities to handoff, explaining why it performed multiple loops.
I'm not a meteorologist, so I wouldn't know the answer,s here at all, this is purely me being curious because this phenomenon is fascinating.
