Lakeview, OH Tornado Damage 3-15-24 (4k)
This is a compilation of the documentation I did of the Lakeview, OH tornado damage. On March 14th, 2024, a deadly tornado outbreak unfolded across Indiana & Ohio resulting in multiple fatalities and more than 2 dozen injuries.
Several significant to intense tornadoes ripped through populated areas in the neighboring states causing massive destruction through the late evening and overnight hours. One dominant supercell would cross I-75 just east of Wapakoneta, OH and spawn a large & intense EF-3 tornado that tracked for 31 miles, killed 3 people and injured 27 others. The day after, I made my way down to make a large quantity of donations, and document the horrific damage in the wake of th...

On a rather frantic rush to get into position due to being late... I managed to follow this storm that recycled NEAR MY HOUSE... and produce a tornado 20 minutes away. This large photogenic tornado traveled southeast through mostly open field. Enjoy!

My first February tornado! Haven't uploaded a video in a long time due to my old computer dying on me, but I managed to get a new one, so I'm back in business! Norman and I elected to chase this tornado threat and came out with something I never thought I could say I've seen... a tornado in Gary, IN! Here's the video leading up to the tornado from dusk to nightfall!

On this rather confusing day, a high based supercell developed near Muleshoe and Sudan, TX moving very slowly dropping ping pong ball sized hail for a while. We pulled off several times to watch it and hoped better moisture would interact with the storm to greaten tornado potential, but moisture mixed out for the most part and we didn't get what we hoped for. However, the storm interacted with ...

We got some more panhandle magic here. On this day, we watched a very slow moving hail dominant supercell in the northern Texas panhandle near the town of Perryton. Had some fairly strong inflow winds streaming into and some nice structure, the slow movement made for great time lapse opportunities. Enjoy the video!

Well everyone, I officially had 3 days straight of tornadoes! On this chase, we were late and missed a couple tornadoes early in the day but we made it just in time for a cell merger to cause our storm to go big time and wrap up to produce a rain wrapped tornado near Harvey, IA! It quickly got rain wrapped and that was the last tornado this storm produced before it withered away and died. We th...

Wow guys! 4th chase on the plains chasing vacation and we scored a significantly tornadic supercell near Cole, OK which produced several tornadoes in the late evening hours! The best intercept was the 2nd tornado by Cole, OK, as it quickly tightened up and dropped down less than a half a mile away from us with an audible roar! Enjoy the video everyone!

Officially in The Great Plains now guys! This chase was centered around central Kansas after a morning squall line let out a boundary for later storm development in the afternoon. Storms took a while to get going, but when they did, they presented very large hail in the cores, very frequent lightning, intense inflow winds and amazing storm structure! I'm very happy with how my first Kansas chas...

Hey guys, James here! The first day of my plains chasing vacation was a complete success! We had a setup take place in northwest to northern Missouri due to a favorable environment setting up for supercells and tornadoes! We chased a cell from Conception Junction, MO all the way to Cairo, MO for several hours, and in between we got amazing storm structure and a large tornado just after dark!

Really had to pinch myself several times to see if I was dreaming. This incredible supercell was riding a warm from in western Illinois and took on amazing structure and produced several tornadoes along its track. This is seriously the best storm I've ever seen and probably will be for a while.

      My apologies to you. I live in Billings Montana & was in the middle of the only tornado Billings has had in 50 years. If you Google Billings Tornado, you will see the live footage of it peeling the roof off of our civic center. That particular day i was helping a friend at her moms trailer doing some landscaping & she said we should stop early because there was a severe thunderstorm watch. Her & her husband went shopping so i went out to watch the dogs. I was playing on the computer when light hail started falling. After a few minutes it stopped and all of a sudden, what sounded like shotgun blasts were golf ball sized hail. Still thought nothing about it because I've seen many in Billings. Went back to the computer and 5 seconds later, the lights went out & i heard the Tornado sirens. Instantly i told the dogs, let's go downstairs. They have a perfect spot in the downstairs by the laundry room. I never thought twice. I knew what to do. What scared me was the lightning & thunder were on top of each other. 15 minutes passed and i went outside and every house suffered severe hail damage. I hope everything turned out well for you. Again i apologize
