#ALwx #Tornado #LSM
If you look closely, that's a big violent tornadoe with debris falling...
Yeah, I gotta put these on mute when Captain obvious starts saying....well, the obvious.
@@Rebel9668 “large tornado, LARGE TORNADO!!!”
@@stillnotwoke it was a large tornado, and it was on the ground... I think.
Violent tornado? Are there non violent tornadoes. If so i am going to protest tornado violence.
@@KRAFTPUNK 😂🤣
I took a drink every time he said "large tornado on the ground.". I wish I wouldn't have
IKR LOL
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
@@jennifers.5274 That was spectacular...thanks for sharing
I'm reading this comment just as a "large tornado on the ground" appeared.
As you can see, hills/mountains mean nothing to a strong tornado.
This is a terrifying fact I just realized watching this video. I suspect where I live right now is going to be in for a bad season this year...
This tornado may have been a four here
I kid you not, that was a “LARGE TORNADO, LARGE TORNADO, LARGE TORNADO ON THE GROUND!!!!!!”
Say what? What was it?
"Listen to that roar." Yeah that's what we are trying to do.
This guy was so F'ckin annoying
I'm wondering if it's large and on the ground.
if a tornado of that size was headed to your neighborhood----you would be thanking him instead of bashing him!!
@@wendyrferrell1589 True. I would. But a video after the fact is only good for international purposes. If he is integral in alerting news sources then I am grateful regardless of where the danger is headed. Valid point. Thanks
The guy in the first pickup is like. Tornado? Dangit, I need to grab some milk and bread.
Yeah I think it was large.
I was kind of thinking it was small and wasn’t on the ground but I may be wrong
Ive never seen a tornado go up a hill in my life until now😂
I'm not sure what you mean by that?
And it did it no problem :/
Yeah, I noticed that too! And if you didn't know already it was a LARGE TORNADO!!!😅😅😅😅
It's a climber, it's a climber, Auntee Em, Auntee Em
@D’alexander I've notice several tornadoes in Alabama seem to develop at the base of mountains especially intense tornadoes.
Ok ok we know it's large and debris....heard you the 1st time!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's what i said!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Im not sure....but was it a LARGE tornado?
Oh, maybe, and on the ground? With debris?
Yes, very destructive.. many neighbors hit and homes destroyed.
No silly, it was a VIOLENT tornado
shut the fuck up, craig.
@@scenicdepictionsofchicagolife ROFL!!
Y'all have really been on top of this southern storm system today. Appreciate all the posts. Y'all stay safe. ✌🏼💚
You too
That shit missed me by a mile, My friends in Eagle Point weren't so lucky 😣
Im off dunavant and i was freaking out
same it hit the neighborhood next to me but not our neighborhood
Is everyone ok?
Yesterday in a different storm there were two tornados in my grandparents area in Mississippi and I was very worried
Really interesting to see the tornado go up the side of the hill
Yea i agree especially the fact that tornadoes do very poorly with any type of hill/mountain
@@patrickgarvey7472 -- That's actually an "old wives tale". Tornadoes don't ricochet off of mountains. If the clouds can pass over a mountain, so can the twister. Nothing to be embarrassed about, however...Many people believe that tornadoes cannot pass over mountains. Take care, and be well.
I was going to say thats the first tornado ive seen go up a hill like that, very interesting to see how it responded to ground level change.
@@Newton14alan I've been told tornadoes can't get into river valleys... yeah, many tonadoes throughout history have killed that lie.
They say it's the worst tornadoes when they climb a mountain. Happen in cullman al years back
I've never seen a tornado go up a hill. That was interesting and scary.
A tornado in Iowa back in 08 went over a hill and destroyed a boy Scout camp
Hills- "We will stop it here!"
Tornado- "Am I a joke to you?"
it grew bigger than the hills and ate them
It's scary that people don't even know what tornados look like in real life when it's right next to them.
It looks different when your right uder it or close ... bc the rain and hail suddenly stops bc the tornado is to strong... that mess sucks ... kind of throws your mind
I feel like I do because I had the most vivid dream once. I was driving and saw one coming ... got out of the car and into a ditch. It seemed so real I still remember it, many years later. It's not on my bucket list , that's for sure!
That's especially the case when it's rain-wrapped, hidden in fog and storm, or during the night.
That shot starting at 2:02 of the vortex going up that hill was magnificent. Great work! Potential best shot of 2021? Save that clip!
With what April is looking to bring we might get a lot of shots way crazier than this one here. But yeah, awesome footage for sure.
It missed my home just barely. Scariest moment of my life 😔🙏🏽
Seeing those cars extremely close to it towards the end makes me anxious
They were probably a couple of miles away but it looks closer than it is
@@carpo719 nah they were a few hundred feet if that. This hill isn’t too long going up and I saw the path where it went in person.
CRY ABOUT IT
@@nikkinicklus7587 😭😭😭🤣🤣
This video really demonstrates how little tornadoes care about hills and terrain. There are soo many people that claim their area is safe from tornadoes because they live in a valley etc. You aren't..
Well, it did break apart when it hit the hill, as they do...
@@nunya9555 did it? I don't think it lost much strength. I'm sure you still wouldn't want to be under that tornado 🌪️
@@nunya9555 most of it just went to the other side of the hill, I think.
@@nunya9555 It didn't break apart at all. It just got harder to discern because of how low to the ground the base of the storm was. Towards the end it was also obscured by wrapping rain bands.
@@nunya9555 no I think that one lasted quite a while.. didn’t it travel another 45 miles after that?
How I think I would sound filming a tornado: [silent awe]
How I would actually sound: “LARGE TORNADO! VIOLENT TORNADO! DEBRIS! DEBRIS! LARGE TORNADO ON THE GROUND! VIOLENT TORNADO! LARGE...”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
👏👏👏👏👏 👏
But was it a large tornado? And was it on the ground? It wasn’t clear from the video narration.
I'm wondering if there was any debris
@@TheRealInky cow
im wondering when chasers will stop stating the obvious in their videos.
Quote of the day "Large tornado on the ground"
Was that a large tornado? 😂
Stay safe!!!
little one
For You.
It was! It was large tornado! Large tornado! Very large tornado! On the ground... on the ground, very large tornado! Debris! Debris! Debris, Debris, Debris!!! Hahaha, lol. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 He should stick to recording and 0% commentary.
The one that passed through around the same time in Pelham and Helena and columbiana was on the ground for almost an hour and destroyed most of my in laws family homes. My mom and brother lived on the road too. That’s tornado threw massive old oak trees around like broccoli.
@@masterpheld 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
dude in the truck at the beginning really said "aight imma head out"
What size was the tornado? I don’t think he mentioned it in the vid?
@@hypnotik24 Agree. Maybe EF2
Large
Now what size was that tornado again? You were never really clear on that and left a bunch of us hanging😅😅😅😅
lmao gotta love twistourette’s syndrome. kinda condescending in a way, it’s as if these chasers think most of us non-tornado experts can’t tell there’s a large tonrado on the ground that they have to state the obvious repeatedly. ty Reed Timmer 😂
LARGE TORNADO
@@not.for_her3226 Debris debris debris!!! LARGE TORNADO Debris!
I'm sorry I'm mocking the videographer. But he can edit out everything except one "large tornado" and one "debris". Or he could mute himself, knowing of his propensity towards shouting.
Very good catch of a tornado hillclimbing. I hope it educates people.
Great footage.. but that's not a great spot to be in. You're lucky it didn't change direction. Only a few degrees and you would've been part of that violent debris
2:02 That truck was like, "Nope!"
Right after it went over the mountain by highland lakes it went right beside my house a view minutes later in Vandiver. Scariest thing I've ever witnessed! Hope everyone is safe and ok.
yeah, yeah, yeah....we get it....it's a large tornado! LMAO.
Until you are in it, it's not funny.
@@eraciii yea
May you be so lucky to be in one before your ignorant life is over!
This is one brave guy. From someone who lives in the South and have experienced the dread, fear and devastation of violent storms all my life.....hats off to you for being brave enough to chase and record.
This was less than a mile from my home.
This is Double Oak Mountain on Hwy 280 to the S.E. of Birmingham, AL.
The Tornado was a long-track Tornado that was on the ground for over 100 miles before continuing for 45+ miles AFTER this footage was recorded, (as of this comment, they're still evaluating the path, but that's the latest estimate).
The houses on top of the ridge are very large, multi-million homes. 97 houses were damaged or destroyed along that ridge and in the neighborhood behind it.
1 injury, zero deaths. (As of last released stats).
"Tornadoes don't climb mountains" is a myth. They can and do. Remember they are "dragged along" by the weather systems aloft. The terrain may slow the inflow a bit, but on large tornadoes the slowing effect is quickly overcome by the strength of the Tornado.
Glad it missed all the apartments along the side of the mountain. It managed to stay away from a lot of dense areas
Last week one landed 1 street behind me. Im in a mobile home unable to walk from a wreck Feb 2020. 🌪️ is down right scary. Praying for everyone's safety. Condolences to those who have lost someone. How tragic. Thanks for the video. Great coverage. My took me to Lake Purdy fishing when a lil girl. R.I.P Dad 10/3/19 🎣
Oh wow! That is scary!
@@rusher1977 no doubt. I was freaked out. Im in Tuscaloosa County which earned its nickname Tornado Valley. When the drill sounded it was already on the ground. I knew when it got very quiet & then came the sound along with branches breaking, whew! I cranked up my music to try & not freak out too bad for the power to cut off 🤦🏻♀️ Today I hear there was fatalities, just heart breaking. Do you live near Alabama? You be safe.
@@susansimpson72 Glad you're safe. It seems that weather in the southeast has become even more favorable for tornado outbreaks especially in Alabama over the last several years. I live in Missouri.
@@rusher1977 thank you & Alabama has always had tornadoes but my ex husband and I noticed some years ago something different. We both felt growing up "years ago" lol Tornadoes were almost unheard of at night but that began to change and it's scary because you can't see them like day time. Weather has just gotten so extreme. Look at the Hurricanes like Hurricane Michael. If you didn't watch footage, you should. I was shocked to see this morning footage of Newnan GA and know people there but cant reach them. It got hit bad and they don't get hit like Alabama does. Maybe on occasion. How do you like Missouri?
Glad you’re okay!
Didn't look THAT large. But then I survived the Joplin tornado.
Touche! I live about 20 miles north of Joplin. Now THAT was a "LARGE TORNADO" with a lot of "DEBRIS, DEBRIS DEBRIS!"
@@rogersanderscustoms8121
And it was on the ground, on the ground, on the ground for 10 miles.
I live and work within a half mile of there it was crazy 😳 thank you for this.
Best intercept of the day so far! 👍🏻
Looks like a big one! That sound is eerie!!! I hope everyone in the area has made it to safety😭
Small
EF3 confirmed
I didn’t actually think tornadoes were capable of going up ridges and mountains but that is very mesmerizing
I lived there near Lee Branch for 4 years, never had a tornado near me. Been following the weather that way ever since I left and this is the first time I can think of in well over 15 years I’ve seen a tornado take that path...unreal...
Ik bro, I'm glad it wasn't the size of the one that hit tuscaloosa. Would've been a lot worse.
Yes I live on 280 and that path is very unusual.
This person was extremely lucky to find a spot where they could spot the tornado in the southeast because the terrain is heavily wooded. Plus, they're almost always rain wrapped.
To end this long, for nothing comment... I wanna say that I work on Opelika, Alabama and the night before all this hit the Birmingham area, I thought one was gonna hit the Auburn era. It was really rough.
Wow, the south gets big tornadoes
How come you couldn't hear the sirens right away?? (or am I deaf? lol)
Correct me if I'm wrong but is that an f3 wedge tornado heading in your general direction?
Had to make sure I didn’t have descriptive narration on... yes, I can see exactly what you’re describing. Got any insightful analysis or just the obvious?
Please say it one more time i think I missed it. Was it a medium tornado or a large?
How big was it again??
Did you say it was a Hurricane or Derecho?
And where is it located¿¿?
I didn't hear you the FIRST 20 TIMES!!🙄
How close are you guys to this tornado?
They were about a quarter of a mile most of the time.
I’m a truck driver and just came right where it passed over 280. I noticed the downed trees and blue tarps on the houses in the valley. I didn’t even know a tornado came through there but I could tell my the damage. What amazes me is that it went up a STEEP incline. From the the damage I assumed it came down the mountain.
@1:18 in the center of the screen... WHAT IS THAT THING that floats, flies or flings across??
About what size would you say the tornado was?
I'm not sure. Was that a large tornado?
hmmm....
id say yes. goofball said it about 50 times, but i personally need him to say it about 500 more times before i can say for sure it is indeed a large tornado😂
My first time seeing a tornado climb a mountain.
Sorry, I didn't catch you the first time. Did you say there was a large tornado on the ground?
What size of tornado was that again?
We’re not really sure could you tell us again what kinda tornado this is???? perhaps it’s a large tornado and did you say it’s where???? Perhaps it’s on the ground
I didn’t hear any tornado sirens. Did they go off?
i have just one question. Was that a large tornado?
Was the Tornado large? Was it a large Tornado? I think it was large....
Can you please verify the size of the tornado again, I'm a little confused about the size!!
It was an EF-3. Lots of damage within 400 yards of the center
Cool video. My son was in the path of this on hwy 119 it came through Chelsea , Pelham and as it crossed hwy 31 - I can't scream loud enough to express how thankful I am that it lifted off of the ground and sort of hopped over (for lack of a better term at the moment) hwy 31 and interstate 65 by oak mtn. Before touching back down again and crossing hwy 280. My son was at a dentist office on 119 just where it had lifted back up in between the times it was on the ground he said he looked up and it was just passing over him he said the entire sky above was rotating he said seemingly in slow motion at the time.. I'm thankful he lives to tell about it. But my huge problem is WHY WERE NO SIRENS GOING OFF??!!! ZERO ARE HEARD BECAUSE NONE WERE GOING OFF TO EVER BE HEARD TO WARN PEOPLE OF THIS MASSIVE IMMINENT DANGER !! Tax dollars hard at work. There should be working sirens in place within earshot of every road especially a busy and densely populated area such as this! The money and funding has been given to place sirens where they need to be but ??? I couldn't hear any. Could you? Smh
I don’t remember any sirens I live a few miles down the road
So how big was the tornado?
But, is it large? Is it on the ground?
I had to turn the volume down because that guy was so annoying.
Did you know that it was a large tornado? Lol.
why is he so annoying when he is trying to save the lives of people like you!!
Is there a large tornado on the ground? I can't hear cause the narrator is saying something
Where was this tornado?
Is that a large tornado? Just wondering as i wasn’t sure
Are you commentating the event to yourself?
I may be wrong but did he say there was a tornado in this video?
How many times is he saying "large" tornado?????????
what do you want him to say? omg wise up!!
How big was it ?
I guess there is a large tornado on the ground.
Is there a large tornado on the ground??
I could be wrong, but was this a large tornado?
Just wondering was there a large tornado on the ground
Did they not have tornado sirens?
Hi! I'm from Poland. How did he know there would be a tornado there? And why does he keep repeating the words?
He’s probably a storm chaser! And I’m not sure why he keeps repeating. Probably just very anxious
Yeah whassup Polish brother it's actually nice to have someone from my homeland stornchase out there if youre into them but anyway thanks for being interested in us weather
He repeats because he is on an adrenaline high from the excitement. This could eventually get him killed if he gets addicted to being close to tornadoes. It happens.
He's on a mic to his other chasers to let them know as well...so they all convene.
Uh, because we're used to em here and the adrenaline just kcks in. Yea, like the comment above. lol
Let me get this straight was this a large tornado ?
I’m sorry...did you say “large tornado”?
is it a large tornado?
Was it large ?
Man that’s some great footage good job I love these videos so much
Was it a large Tornado ?
Is it a large tornadoes?
We can see what’s right there on the screen, no need to be so dramatic and keep
Shouting Debris Debris Debris,
How big was this
Great capture with sound. I've lived in flat land & hilly land. Am I correct to say that more & more tornados are hitting the highlands where they rarely if ever do? Could someone please verify? These early Spring tornados have mostly been ridge runners. Been thinking we're going to have a very active Spring.
Great stream today Brandon!! Love to see this live and thank you:)
So. Just to be sure. Was this a large tornado?
Why didn't you record it longer
What I really wanna know was is there a tornado on the ground and debris falling?
Is that hwy 31?
I love weather videos thank you for the upload
That would be terrifying. People living in parts of states that don’t often seen them are going to be stunned when they hit. Climate change has thrown the air streams out of whack to a major degree. It’s going to be a rough spring.
Do you think we will even have a spring, or summer, or any discernable climate at all, with all your "climate change"? Oh no, the sky is falling chicken little! Or could it merely be, that tornadoes happen in the spring and fall? Lol
The Indians drew pictures of tornadoes over 8000 years ago in that area....I don't think that chief blowing wind blamed it on climate change. For him, the climate changed right there real quick, and then it changed back.
Climate has been changing for thousands of years.
It's going to get more and more severe. We've been having polar vortexes every winter since 2017, and now that its gotten far south enough to cripple one of our largest states, we're really gonna need to act sooner rather than later. Our tornado season is already starting quite earlier than usually expected, at least for this magnitude. And yet lemmings will still try and deny it, if not because acknowledging consequences for our actions means... theirs would too.
Lmao the climate change deniers. Alabama is going to be one of the hardest hit places in the US soon enough. This hurricane season may break new death records.
I can't believe how people are driving around like nothing is going on
Laura Gadille - Because if you're driving through areas with a lot of trees and hills you can't always see them and don't know they're there unless you're listening to the news.
Can anyone let me know if this tornado is considered large?
I couldn't tell - is this a large tornado?
wheres the large tornado and debris at i couldnt see it
Was that a large tornado with debris I didn't quite catch it
Were there any sirens?😓
Why were the sirens not going off
