    What's "incredible" is the beautiful backlighting. The tornado itself is almost sedate, meandering slowly across a field, not bothering anyone. At least in the segment shown. Maybe what's missing (thankfully) is a hysterical chaser screaming "Violent tornado! Ohmygod! I see debris! Power flash!" This one speaks for itself.

    The banter is needed so that other chasers have an idea where to go, otherwise it can be an exercise in futility. Turn you appliance off for the sound and enjoy, me I like the sound and appreciate their time and patience, different stokes for different folks. I would never be able to become a chaser as I don’t have the patience, I would be out there for 10 minutes and out of there, my husband could have been, he had the patience required.
