The Most Devastating Tornado I Have Ever Chased - Rolling Fork, Mississippi - A Documentary [4K]

- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- In the evening hours of 3-24-23, a supercell moved across the MS River from Louisiana. This supercell quickly produced a violent tornado which directly impacted Rolling Fork and Silver City, MS. As the tornado moved into town, cars' headlights can be seen flying. Multiple fatalities and many significantly injured in Rolling Fork and Silver City. Houses were slabbed, complete neighborhoods have been demolished, and large trees debarked/completely uprooted. This documentary shows our point of view as this tornado crossed extremely close to us as it entered Rolling Fork. I have also added a voice over to discuss events which happened immediately following the impact in Rolling Fork, MS.
Throughout the days following after a tornado directly impacted Rolling Fork, MS, emergency and recovery crews worked hard to find trapped people. MS USAR was called in to systematically work through the Family Dollar damage to recover possible fatalities.

Please excuse some audio cuts in the center for the video while describing the situation. This was an oversight on my part.
This is some of the most indescribable damage that I have ever seen from a tornado. My heart goes out to the victims as well as you guys and the other mature chasers and 1st responders that did their best to help these poor people. The disrespect shown by these teenage gawkers breaks my heart. Have some damn respect for people that have just had their lives ripped apart and lost their loved ones. Chasers like you guys are an important part of the rescue operation and documentation of these terrible disasters. Thank you for all that you do.
This tornado was BAD. Nearly wiped out that town.
You did a fantastic job. I'm left speechless and devastated by these unimaginable sights. Thank you for being there offering such aid and comfort to the traumatized victims. I have no words. God give them the strength to carry on.
@@alb.dersame Amen to that!

My uncle, David Moore, died from this tornado. He was driving the red truck that is shown from 50:20-50:38.
Damn, sorry to hear that.
Our prayers and condolences to you and your family.
Thank you.
May his memory be eternal. @@beaumvb
I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.
I remember the meterologost Andy Hill breaking down in tears as he warned everyone of the impending tornado approaching Rolling Fork, and as the news came in of the terrible devastation. Thank you for producing such a respectful and sensitive video. It breaks my heart to see peoples homes torn apart when inexpensive technology already exists to produce safe tornado proof homes. I do hope all re-building will explore this vital safety feature for their future.
I never saw that, I'll have to watch his video. I was watching the Ryan Hall stream and things went from thrilling to terrifying in pretty short order.
Just now getting to the part about the disrespectful teenagers and they’re just another breed of human beings altogether. Props to you for maintaining your composure and thanks to all of you for doing everything you could to help.
As a teenager definitely can confirm
I wouldn’t say I’m the disrespectful type but I definitely know some and have seen some in school hallways
And I don’t understand why some teens or even just people have to be mean for no reason
@@asparrowscallIt's called bad upbringing!! Blame the parents!!
Think teens are bad? Had some elementary child run his mouth off to me like a trucker, and him not minding his own business and not knowing what I was doing and just blatantly calling me out for dog abuse when I'm actually training them. I hope he feels good about himself, I had to get into the oil rig tune to make the rest of the kids around him laugh at him for his patheticness. He don't know I'm almost 40, but I do know I look 16. Never judge a book by its cover 😊.
No role models no father figure no mentors
They should be deported to the middle east where their behavior is average.@@asparrowscall
Much respect for telling those teenagers to "get the f**k out of here!" Those punks had absolutely no respect and were more focused on chasing clout than trying to help the victims of this violent storm.
I agree 100%. There's a time and a place for things.. this wasn't the time. Thank you for your support :)
As I always say Tik Tok is poison to my generation.

@@TornadoWarnedI need a time stamp to when this happened.
I was down there at Rolling Fork and arrived 10 minutes after it hit. It was worse than I could have ever imagined. Unfortunately, due to how rural the area was it didnt seem like EMT showed up for about 45 minutes. However, there were a lot of chasers that were able to help and most definitely saved lives. I remember carrying countless amounts of people out on doors, I will never forget what happened that day.
Thanks for being there
The sheer devastation of this storm will forever live with me. I lived in Rolling Fork, brought all my babies home from the hospital to our home there. Now, it’s gone. The house was demolished and we moved away.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to hear this 😢
Rolling Fork was, is, and will be an awesome community!
Awe I'm so very sorry to hear this. God bless you and your family. My prayers are with you all that were impacted by this storm outbreak. I was watching several chasers and my weather man as it happened. We were all praying in the chat.
I’m so thankful you and your precious family survived this horrible storm. Was watching as it happened and was praying and crying at what I knew would be there, but was hoping not. I lost my home in 2016 in a high end EF3. Not as bad as yours, but still awful to lose everything and neighbors too. God bless you and all who lived through this storm. My thoughts and prayers are still with you. The trauma lasts for a long time.
Im so sorry, the amount of devestation one tornado can cause is heartbraking.
Very well done, and thank you for paying tribute to the victims, ranging from toddler to elderly. Every life is precious. My husband was an Emergency Management Director for 20 years and dealt with tornadoes. Somewhat ironically, he passed away 6 days after this storm, on my birthday. He died very suddenly. It could have been due to Covid, as we both had it earlier in March, but that was never established. It was listed as cardiac arrest. He was literally here one minute and gone the next. The music accompanying the overhead footage was beautiful. That is the most intense lighting I've ever seen. Thank you for posting this, and God be with the people of these towns.
I'm so sorry to hear about your husband!
Thank you for your support, though!
Thank you, I appreciate that. If he were here, he would tell you about some of his chasing stories. One time while he was out spotting, a weak tornado blew his truck off the road into a shallow ditch. He was able to get out of the ditch, back on the road, and it blew him into the opposite ditch. When he was a boy his family (5 people) were traveling on I-80 in Iowa when a rain-wrapped tornado (they didn't see it) picked up their car and set it back down on the interstate facing the wrong direction.
@@TornadoWarned
Sorry to hear about your husband 😢
My Dad passed away from a heart attack, he was here in the morning and by the evening he was gone. It's devastating to lose a loved one so suddenly. He was only 50yrs old. I tell everyone to cherish your loved ones.
Thank you. My husband was standing by his chair, joking with my brother on speaker phone. It was as if he were a robot, and someone turned him off, it was that quick. I called 911, the paramedics did all they could, and then the ER, but he was gone from the minute he fell to the floor. He was 63. We had been married almost 38 years. Your dad was so very young, I am sorry. My dad was 67 when he died. You are right, we all need to cherish each other, and know where we are headed after this life.@@aprilchamberlain1677
So sorry for your loss. You are right about the lightning. I've seen some serious lightning, but this was off the charts.
Very well done guys. As a Mississippian, it's scary, heartbreaking, and just plain terrifying every time a tornado goes through, but this one was especially heartbreaking and terrifying. I'm glad the folks in Rolling Fork had y'all there to help them. It comes across clearly in this vid and in your voice that y'all really care and that's no small thing. On another note, I really really don't know how the hell you and the guys around you kept it together with those kids. I know you probably won't directly call anyone out by names, but I do hope the community knows who they are so maybe they can be taught lessons in empathy and compassion or to stay the hell away from disaster areas.
My brother and his family survived the Joplin tornado, and while he was helping pull people and bodies from buildings, his coworker was robbing the cash register at their job. People showed up within hours to loot the town.
I try to live by Mister Rogers' story about his mom telling him to "look for the helpers" when terrible things happen. I know the majority of people will help, but you were way nicer than me or my brother. If any folks like those teens had shown up, he'd've beat the hell out of them without thinking twice about it. Sometimes, it's just what people like that deserve. Thank you for being you.
Some people will only stop, not because of the ignorance they show, but someone stands up for what’s right.
You EMT’s are awesome! You didn’t even have to stop and do that! It’s people like you that makes this a better world.
My husband and I went to Rolling Forks a few days after to volunteer...from the road off of 61 it was fine, just a farm field, a water tank with the towns name on it, all looked normal...but about a half mile down we came smack dab, in your face, utter distruction until I felt all the air was sucked out of my body and I couldn't breathe, my husband stopped and we didn't have to cry, the tears just began to flow like we had no control...it took us 30-40mins to get to the volunteer area, so much debris, the smell of wet, wood, oil, dirt was overwhelming...I will never forget Rolling Forks as we plan to go back, they have become family.
I am not American, but when I see Old Glory flying in all the devistation. It tearfully tugs at the heart strings.
It’s the south. We love our country.
Excellent video. I very rarely watch long videos and caught myself watching the entire hour long video. Your tasteful commentary throughout and respect for the situation while also being a big source of education and scientific footage is beyond excellent as well. I'm sure no part of the process of this was easy, so I commend you heavily! You witnessing those teenagers/young adults behave the way they did, and yet calmly narrating the encounter, showed a lot of character as well. From someone near Rolling Fork, I'm sure many people around there see you as a hero with the way you responded to victims. All in all, amazing amazing video.
Thank you for your support! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment your kind review.
You said it all wonderfully. First responders have saved many lived, and God bless all the ones like these guys.
This documentary is raw and uncut. Civilians need this! They need to understand the magnitude and sheer danger of these tornadoes 😢
That storm mess us up for about a week, I have around 20 100 foot pine trees lining my driveway, the tornado snap only one of those pines off about 30 feet off the grown, throwing it into the power lines which snap another power pole off at the grown pulling my meter box and all the wiring out leaving us without power for a week, it blows many trees over and damaged many homes around me, thank God no one was killed here in the Muscle Shoals, Alabama
area.
I have to have power for my breathing treatments and oxygen machine, Huntsville Utilities was a big help here and in Mississippi, this guy rewired what was torn out of my home for free, and had the best manners of any electric company around, Sherfield electric was rude and told me that they couldn't help me that I would have to hire an electrician, once again Thank God for the workers that works for Huntsville utilities their the best. ❤
It absolutely disgusts me to my core, that there are people out there so empty inside... they literally derive a twisted sense of excitement from seeing mangled bodies and horrible carnage. But those same people as you said are the first to post these horrible photos for all their friends and family to see and get to be the center of attention for a day or two over a tragedy that didn't even affect them truly. Shame on them, and whoever raised them. Good on you for maintaining composure in a situation like that and not completely losing your sh-t on them. I would have been slapping phones outta hands..It kills me someone had to learn of their partner's death from some ignorant, dumb, teenager screaming "hey come look at this dead body!" like their dead body was an attraction at a zoo. This whole tornado was a completely different beast, and the devastation it unleashed in 1 night will be felt for decades to come.
I'm wheelchair bound and I can''t imagine how terrifying it must be to get hit by a tornado. I am lucky that they are very rare where I live. If I wasn't disabled I would volunteer to help people somehow. I love watching tornado spotters and chasers save lives and help people by warning them of tornadoes, gathering research, and then assisting in search and rescue. God bless you all
You don't have to be at ground zero to help! There are lots of ways to help victims of these tragedies, and sometimes it's as easy as talking about it. Spreading awareness, raising funds, and donating to things like the red cross is great if you're far away. If you do want to be right there in the thick of it, volunteer organizations are always looking for extra hands to do a little bit of everything. I'm in bad shape too, and might find myself in a wheelchair soon, but there's always a way to help. Many hands makes light work, and every little bit counts. :)
@@LouSlade You are right that there are still ways we can help people🫂😊
God bless and take care🙏
These lights seen spinning in the tornado are so weird and terrifying at the same time. It has to be headlights from a vehicle bc I doubt a drone would be seen from this far away.
Thank you to everyone involved in this. You are so appreciated.
I am willing to do what I can as a nurse if I ever come across destruction like this. It’s the least I can do. Tornadoes have always been a fascinating phenomenon ever since one went through Windsor locks ct where I lived as an 8 year old in 1979. I will never forget the destruction that wind could do. If I had the means, I would chase every day. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thank you for your willingness to help, we need more people like you!
Your support means a lot to me, as well!
I'm from CT as well and clearly remember going to Bradley Air Museum right after the 1979 Windsor Locks tornado. It was in shambles. I also witnessed the 1989 Litchfield tornado, which flattened the 300 year old Cathedral Pines preserve, Mohawk Mountain Ski Area, most of Bantam, CT and did EF-4 damage in Hamden, before crossing Long Island Sound and wrecking some light airplanes at an airport before moving out to sea. The sky got so dark, that it was black as night and the hail was six inches deep.
This is exactly why I have medical training. I want to go chase storms because I want to save lives.
3 years after the Easter 2020 tornado, I still catch myself breaking down and crying. These kids are stupid and have no idea what victims go through, not just after the event, but for years to come.
I'm sorry to hear that. I most certainly agree. It's a completely life changing event.
I visited some of the Easter 2020 damage paths the following week after another EF-4 near Purvis, MS. It was absolutely horrific. The Bassfield/Soso, MS tornado is on my list to make a documentary about as we were impacted by it in Heidelberg.
I certainly hope things continue to progress in a positive way, for you and your loved ones!
Perhaps this would be the most impressive chase/documentary ive seen, from an emotional perspective, from a sense of awe, to observing humanity. The narrative of "disaffected teen" has always been there, but hasn't social media changed the way we see life. Driven by greed and social status on the internet. Just an incredible documentary. Thanks for sharing
The actions of those young ppl are disgusting and infuriating... I’ve been there chasing a guy with a camera away after a bad accident. I try to remember that was just one person, while ten other people tried to help instead.
I'm all for documenting the aftermath of disasters/emergency scenes as I do breaking news stringing as a side gig.. but time and place. Once victims are being cared for by Fire/EMS and Im no longer needed, I'll have the camera out. Any time before is morally wrong.
@@TornadoWarned you got to wait until all the potentially sensitive stuff like the victims are all the way out of the area first.
@rnbsteenstar Yes and no for the storm chasing side. I'll still film, but it's to be used video for training/instruction in the emergency services.
For media stringing, it depends on the call and if it's better to have a victim. All sensitive matters are blurred out anyway.
@@TornadoWarnedagreed. I'm a creator too, sometimes.
Back in the 1970s we carried portable radios on fishing/camping trips and left them on a quiet part of the AM band to detect lightning static of approaching thunderstorms before thunder could be heard. Even today this can be very useful.
This is smart!! Gonna write this down, and tell others! God bless🙏
I figured this out as a kid and if the sky was looking nasty in the distance I’d tune to different AM stations listening for the flutter. Unless the storm is really close to you, you can use the different stations to figure out where the storms were. Storms passing between you and the broadcast tower to your west will interfere more with the signal than tuning to the frequency of a station broadcasting from your north.
It was really helpful for figuring out if I needed to get all my stuff back inside!
@@erodi6956that is so cool Ty for this info
Hubby and I live in the north Idaho panhandle. Shortly after we moved here, I was outside of our metal pole shop, in which we lived for 7 years before our house was built, and there were some workmen doing work on our property. We looked up into the sky, and it was ugly. There were heavy dark clouds, and we could actually see some air swirling around in a circle. The workmen warned me that one of two things was about to occur. We would either have a tornado, or massive hail. They hopped in their truck and got out of there, and all I could do was go inside of the shop and hope for the best. I had lived in southern California, and aside from the occasional small dust devil, had never experienced a tornado. As it turned out, a massive hail storm pounded our metal roof, but no tornado materialized. We were very, very lucky!
Just ran across your video and just wanted to say Thank you to all of you who helped these people this night! You all have a special place in my thoughts and prayers! Again, thank all of you for helping these people and for filming this footage to make people like me to see just how blessed I am!! 😢
58:12 still shocking to see what is probably three different levels of damage (EF2-4) in such close proximity to each other. I know that's how it goes with multi-vortex tornadoes, but even so.
It's always mind-boggling to me too. In professional tornado documentaries with witness interviews, there's always someone who had their house get missed while their neighbors' houses are gone. Nature is incredible.
You men have my utmost respect. As chasers, you inform the necessary outlets so warnings can go out and most importantly, you help as 1st responders. I've seen chaser videos where that doesn't happen.
God bless you for all you do.
This is an amazing documentary. My heart breaks for everyone who had to suffer this disaster.
Thanks for your efforts in finding and aiding the victims of this violent tornado. And thanks for the documentary.
I appreciate your support!
Thank you so much for not only collecting valuable data in such a dangerous setting, but also understanding the magnitude of these events on people's lives and being a 1st responder in such a critical time of need! Respect 💖
Just wow. I’ve seen so many videos of the damage but this particular video really shows the scope of the pure devastation. It feels wrong being fascinated by what nature can do while knowing how many lives this changed and took with it.
may those who died in Rolling Fork and Silver City Rest In Peace.
Thank you for the great footage, and for stopping to help in rescue efforts. I know it made a difference to everyone you were able to help, and I'm sure the families of those you tried to help, or were there to see recovered respectfully, appreciate your efforts and consideration for their loved ones.
I don't understand how anyone could show up in a situation like that and feel absolutely nothing for the victims like those sick teenagers. It's like they see themselves as the main character in their own movie, and I guess everyone else just exists in the world as props, not real people. Hopefully, their community is aware of their identities and keeping an eye on them; that kind of excitement around other human beings who have just died or are horrifically injured, is absolutely not a sign of a healthy, normal person, and tends to lend itself to being willing and able to actively pursue violence towards others to get their rush if they can't follow after another source like a tornado to provide it for them. In other words, they sound like textbook sociopaths and I hope somebody is watching them.
those still shots of the tornado in the dark filled me with adrenaline, i can’t even imagine what the people of that town felt like. and then everything is gone. 💔
You are correct about the terrain being treacherous. I'm originally from Jonesboro/Hardy Arkansas. Never worried about tornadoes in Hardy...it was in the Ozark foothills. But since they have developed so much of it, they now get more and more tornadoes in that area. Jonesboro was a scary place to grow up! I was born in the 1960's, so I have a bit of experience...
New sub from a fellow vaper! lol
I have to admire how many people came running to help, and how quickly. The storm was still going nearby.
I live in Silver City Mississippi, well what's left of it..everyday is hard I lost a cousin and two other people in my community but we are rebuilding but it will never be the same I miss him so much 😢😢😔..#PRAYINGFORUS#SILVERCITY#ROLLINGFORK#AMORY
That lightning after minute 14:00 is a very familiar and terrifying sight here in central Louisiana when we`re expecting tornadoes.
Just found your video and I'm disgusted by the actions of young people today. No compassion, all about themselves and attention on social media... Thank you for doing the right thing! 👍👌
Thank you for this vid. It was beautiful, not visually, but editorially. I know how upsetting it was for you to deal with those who were soooooooo disgusting in their behavior; I pray someone knew them and let them know the gravity of what happened, and how it could've easily impacted others they knew, and I pray they did not have to bear that pain.
This world is lacking in the compassion it used to have, and it will only continue to get worse. I commend you all for your actions during this terrifying event. As a storm spotter, it is not as easy for me to see the devastation firsthand ( I am unable to chase, but I report as much as I can), but I have had close calls and understand the fear and near dread of being so close or impacted by these beautiful, yet horrific storms. Storm chasers (some, not all) are the golden ticket for the weather community, and I am so grateful to be able to my part, but I am even more grateful and respectful for those who can do sooo much more, like in this instance. GOD bless all families, and GOD help those who lacked to understand the need for respect and sympathy at a time when all emotions are nearly void.
I just got into watching storm chasers this year, and Rolling Fork is etched permanently into my memory now.
Watching the storms kind of wind down, everyone starting to relax, and then this monster appeared and nobody had enough time to get ready for it was terrifying and saddening.
I was just on google street view for Rolling Fork, and noticed that a lot of the street view footage was from March of 2023. If this tornado hit the 24th of March, then it means that most of the buildings on the street view had less than a month left. Super eerie to see what became of the town such a short amount of time later.
Very respectful and responsible the three of yous…. I’m from Elliot Lake, Ontario and we are lucky to have a few far between storms here in North Eastern Ontario…I’ve never seen lightning like that in my entire forty-some years. Prayers and condolences to all victims who lost their homes lives and their entire world in a devastating way…. I am so grateful for all that you and your friends are doing amen 😢🙏🫣🥺😔😖🫣
What a tragedy. Thats for documentating it with respect and humility. Stay safe
God bless all those effected by this storm and god bless you guys for doing search and rescue even when u didnt have to. You guys are true heros in my eyes ❤
Bless you for your recovery efforts and dignity through it all.
Would have definitely rated this an EF5 . Despite not having one in over 10 years , the amount of damage , the lack of most structures standing reminds me of those EF5 tornados we have had in past memories. 😭😞
Tornadoes terrify me. They are so concentrated. I am in the Bahamas on Grand Bahama island. I went through Dorian. I saw death and destruction but tornadoes are even more terrifying. You never know if you're going to be hit or left unscathed.
What an incredible video. I’m an RN wanting to storm chase so I could help out with search and rescue as well. You all are an inspiration. Thank yall for your service ❤
Never, EVER, chase a "ghost tornado" (or one in the dark), this is extremely dangerous for even the most seasoned of storm chasers! Stay safe everyone! ❤
Albeit more dangerous at night, I will continue to chase! Thanks for your support and I sure appreciate the support!
Absolutely awesome messages and coverage. As you said, if you chase, be prepared to assist.
Perusing the comments, I was searching for one who saw the destruction and are wondering how the roads are clear of debris but nothing found on that topic. It is because brave young men, like my son, Charles, a local farmer, and his friends, many local farmers too, brought their own equipment in the dead of night to clear debris for emergency vehicles, police, etc., and families to get to their loved ones. They didn’t concern themselves with the dangerous or difficult job this clean up was. They knew it was their community who needed help so they all just did it. I haven’t heard enough about how these young men came to the community’s aid that night and the following weeks or months but they are to be given heartfelt thanks and highly regarded commendations for all they did.
Truly Unfortunate for Rolling Fork because they are not the most wealthy city in the world, and so most houses that were hit were not built well enough to withstand such a storm.
I have saved this video to provide it's link to those who spout nonsense like "tornado chasers are just out looking for a thrill, a good video, and a shocking story, they provide little in the way of any benefit." This is the most in-depth and thorough coverage I've seen of what most chasers do immediately after any population is hit. Thank you all _so much!_
It's incredibly heartbreaking to watch the devastation & chaos after impact.
I'm so thankful you called those disrespectful teenagers out in your video. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Good on you for telling them to f##k off. Ppl like that deserve to be charged imo.
My love, thoughts & prayers go out to all the victims & you guys. I can't even begin to imagine the scars it leaves behind😢
Im so sorry you had to deal with such uncompassonate, untrained people. I feel like you did the right thing. People just need to stay away from devastated areas unless they can handle it.
That continuous lightning was like what I saw here in Ocean Isle Beach, NC when we had an unexpected high-end EF-3 in 2021 that killed 3 people. One huge house was lifted up and slammed down on a neighbor’s house.
That damage was awful! I remember when that happened. Every so often, we get EF2s and EF3s in NC, and they are pretty bad and terrifying. Lived through one a few years ago at my grandparent's house in Greensboro. Also, hello person from a county over lol
@@bread9173 hey
I've gone to RollingFork once a year for the last 15yrs and seeing this breaks my heart. I'll be there this week. I don't know what to expect, but it won't (ever) be the same.
And I would like to add that people who move here from the midwest's tornado alley aren't listened to when they try to warn us that a twister is pending, simply because we don't get a lot of them up here.
There was this waitress who had moved here from the midwest, and she was looking out the windows of the restaurant. The weather was being peculiar, but she knew the signs. She warned everyone that a tornado was on its way, and they all laughed at her. Sure enough, an EF1 or EF2 tore through the valley and ripped the roofs off of a couple of houses. It wasn't a large one, but it did materialize.
Pays to listen to us gals once in awhile!
Man i have seen so much Horror thru peoples lives what they had been and lived thru it amazes me how strong and commited to stay and put there own lives back together as they come to help while they have no home either. Thank you so very much who you are what you did saving lifes.:I love this video Ben.
Humans are resilient and strong creatures when push comes to shove, I, both, love and hate to see it.
Thank you for watching :)
It really sickens me. Nature you cannot help, but to be helping victims like you were, and to have to endure a complete display of a lack of compassion for fellow humans. It’s just too much to think about. I don’t know how you dealt with it. you gentlemen have my respect.
Just kind of cuts my soul to sink that poor gentleman in their last moments while you were trying to comfort them Had to have some random teenager. Yell out I found a body. It’s tough to even repeat. What the hell do I know pain and trauma.
It's one thing to document stuff if you're a creator, but the least you can do is offer help instead of chasing clout.
I remember those kids instantly jumping on social media to talk about how traumatized they were. This stuff is no joke.
Great video. I was in the city 7 minutes after it passed. Was just south chasing , I’ll
Never forget how bad the RFD winds were. That night searching haunts me. But the storm chasers saved lives that night
I remember watching this live on Ryan Hall's channel when this happened
God bless you boys for doing what you could, and not driving away.
I'll pray for your peace, and for those affected by this horrendous tragedy.
It is amazing how the storm chasers could get so close but remain safe vehicle all.
I live in Scotland and i watched it live on Storm chasers and it must of been about 2am my local time and i was tired but it kept me glued to my phone i couldn't believe what i was witnessing ef4 wasn't it) what made it more scary to me was the darkness but as he drove towards the ef4 the lighting was absolutely amazing tbh then in distance you can see it( only with lighting flashes obviously). the width 😮
So sorry to ppl in rolling fork 😮😢
I am so proud of your team!
I thought the lightning at 19:37 was sped up motion until I realized the foreground wasn't moving
I was there almost right after the Joplin tornado. so you where spot on with everything
Not a lot of things really get me triggered, but what you said about the teenage kids coming up and what they were saying…. I’m trying not to get banned from your comment section by expressing how I feel about that…. What a bunch of assholes, I think, loosely using that term is BEYOND an understatement…. Walking human garbage man, wth…
There's a time and a place, but the timing on their part was extremely poor.

Really well done guys.. I was watching this one Live w/ multiple chasers.. So many emotions... Won't forget the radar signature for a long time I bet. Thx for putting together one of the best vids on Rolling Fork!
Thanks so much!
Some people are angels, some people are shitheads. Thank you for being an Angel.
@43:07 this almost happened to me while traveling from N. Ga to Florida. I ran into torrential rains with leaves and branches blowing across the highway. No cars on the road. My wipers could not keep up with how fast the rain was coming down. My Toyota 4runner at times was moving back and forth. I had my 3 chihuahua's loaded in the car for the trip. This was in Punta Gorda Florida in I think 2017. I didn't have a smart phone. Only my emergency burner flip phone which I had turned off because it was 3:00am. When daylight came...I drove through the night, I turned on my phone and saw SEVERAL EXTREME warnings that there was a tornado in my direct vicinity. When I hear the rain hitting your car and your wipers going as fast as they could, it reminded me of what I drove through. I could have easily been the couple in the car who were flipped over. I definitely had guardian angels on that early morning. I will never forget it.
me and many others were freaking out over this nighttime monster in a meteorology discord server safe at home... i really hope rolling fork and all cities affected recover.
F4's are inherently dangerous monsters, but the ones that strike in the dead of night are true terrors, and the stuff of nightmares. Great footage, and God bless those that were impacted by this, and peace be to those that lost their lives in this....may they rest in peace. Nothing about the aftermath of these monstrosities are easy to recover from.
Good job, it would be nice to have more chasers that have the training you have becuase literally thats who arrives first,this was professionally done.❤❤❤
You and your friends are amazing souls. To not lose your cool at those teenagers is unbelievable. ❤ I used to think that all teenagers that age were despicable but I work with a wonderful group at a large grocery chain. What would have happened to those kids if some of the dead were there mom and dads. Grandparents, siblings. Hopefully someone will educate them . God bless all of the "great" chasers that help and learn more how and why these monsters happen. I live in the Pacific Northwest and I can't imagine how brave you have to be to live in tornado alley. ❤❤❤❤❤
Well done! The coverage and documentary of the storm and devastation was done with respect. Some of the in car was dull, but overall great video. I have witnessed the aftermath of smaller storms 3 times in Indiana, but nothing like this. I hope I never have too, but hope I can do it in the same fashion as you did with compassion for the living, and dignity for those who are not.
My heart felt prayers 🙏🙏🙏 go out to all the people of rollingfork may god watch over each and every one
Gut wrenching documentary-thank you for sharing. Not a lot of empathy left in this world.
Would some sort of night vision be a helpful tool in circumstances such as these...I'm asking cause I'm clueless...thank u for all u do... sympathies to those affected by these awful disasters.
Night vision might be good, but I'm a blind one with glasses.. so maybe not for me..
But a thermal imaging drone? That, I have used with emergency services and it works phenomenally.
@@TornadoWarned I see...Im actually curious if night vision or something would b beneficial in tracking the twister itself..and then perhaps to better warn people in the path..but anyway 👍👍
Quite expensive for effective night vision. Also as warned mentioned, thermal imaging drone could be better
@@OayxYT 10 4... thank you for the reply.... take care 👊
Not in the southeast.These storms move from 50-70 mph and I have seen the nws on some storms say 90 to 100.Many are rain wrapped because of the gulf moisture.Too many hills and trees down here
watching all that destruction, so many lives gone, houses where people grew, shared moments etc. i cant help but cry.. life is so fragile, and lives can change in a second
I drove by this town a day or two after it hit, I’ve never seen more destruction by a tornado in my life. An impoverished community with few basements… rip to all lives that were lost
I will never forget that night. We also live in the Delta and it was a bad storm system impacting a lot of us….just not as badly as Rolling Fork and Silver city. God bless yall.
Just yesterday I was curious about footage of this storm. Today this video popped up.
Thank God and whoever else for human beings like you.
The little town in MS I grew up in was lucky in that during the time I lived there several tornados came close but never struck the town directly. Prior to moving in 1991, I was a volunteer firefighter / paramedic in Byram. Hinds County had a very good system of storm spotters from the rural VFDs. We couldn't do anything to alter the course of the storms but could have resources on scene within minutes if needed. I worked in EMS for over 35 years and have seen my share of gawkers. It seems that the grisly events bring out the ghouls. It's a sad commentary on society when people take pleasure in other's misfortune.
I live in South Texas. We do not see a lot of tornadoes around San Antonio. I know North Texas. I would never want to live in tornado alley. I've seen devastation pictures on the news. And I don't know how anybody could stay there, it's so scary. But I know people love their cities and they love their neighbors. And they love their family. This one was was total devastation. I feel so sorry for all the people that were killed in this tornado. May they rest in peace.. You are awesome for what you do. And for helping anybody that you could. And as far as those teenagers, somebody needs to put a swift kick in their pants and teach them a little empathy. The kids nowadays are not brought up. Like we were brought up, we care about families. We care about communities and wanting to help others. I admire you for putting yourself out there in danger with you and your crew. To help us understand that these tornadoes are monsters. They're not anything to just take lightly when you get tornado warnings.. God bless you and please stay safe when you're out on the roads chasing these tornadoes.
Unreal damage! Thank you for helping!
I remember watching this situation unfold on radar. I was speechless and tearful. Just wow.
Very good documentary. Great chasing. And awesome and mind eye opening search and rescue tips. Well put to be prepared... to see utter destruction and traumatic injuries and unfortunately death when a high end tornado hits a populated area. Just devastating damage footage and drone aerials... very well put together. And I can't believe that group of young knuckle heads recording you all trying to save lives that is very uncalled for no respect... don't come there unless you are ready to help. This definitely makes me want/ need to broaden my medical equipment i keep on board when I chase. Also have tools to be able to do what you all did with the house door and 2 by 4s to make a make shift stretcher... that was a good idea. I hope I never have to come across a scene like this... but if I do I feel like this video got the message across at what could be/ would be seen. Very great job Mr Mchone. Glad you were there and others that performed on site S&R and life saving procedures... I remember that night watching radar ... I live on the Delmarva peninsula we rarely have tornado greater then EF2 strength... although a lot more populated here... so this video was very helpful as a direct hit of a EF2 or EF3 could be devastating as well. As we have a lot of trailer parks around the ways... this is why I urge warnings up here as being in a mobile home is a terrible place to be in any kind of tornado no matter what strength doesn't take much ... also a lot of people here on the peninsula don't take tornado warnings seriously... and I know one day we will see a devastating one that's why I set out on a journey to document tornados / severe storms to be a spotter. I called in the EF3 Bridgeville/Ellendale, Delaware Tornado back in April this past year. Had my live stream up on Facebook with tons of people watching as I gave updates on the progress of the tornado thankfully it missed the main town of Bridgeville but unfortunately we lost one life as a house was leveled. By time I got over to the damage area roads were shut down by police and fire as I continued to follow the tornado and I knew I wouldn't be able to get around the many downed trees on the back roads in time to make a difference as I watched from about 4 miles away from some of the heavy impacted areas I paralleled the tornado following it after it hit Bridgeville just a 3/4th of a mile to my north and followed it east ensuring it wouldn't recycle and hit even more populated areas before exiting over the Delaware Bay. Thank you for making this documentary 🙏 grateful for your time and work for putting this all together.
Thank you for the freeze frames! 😅
Incredible video and recap! Thank you.
I know the cost would be astronomical, but if there were some way to make shelters or safe rooms more available in these tornado-prone areas that do not have basements... A basement alone is not adequate in a tornado of this intensity, but it is an advantage people in the upper Midwest have that people in the South do not!
After watching hundreds of tornado videos throughout the years some of the absolute worst ever this is first I’ve seen where a water tower went down…actually I was shocked and amazed seeing them still standing after a direct hit from an EF4 or EF5 over the years and this has got to make one wonder how the heck to some of these get that powerful? To see stripped bark clean off trees pavement pulled up and gone or a huge trench from some of these..just a huge wow!
Oh my goodness, that was a bad Strom. To the families of the loss, love ones. May they soul rest in peace for your work down here on earth is done. Fly high now in the sky and continue to watch over er us until we meet on that beautiful shore. In the sweet by and by. I'm also praying for those who were hurt.🙏😔🕊🙌💪😍
Really good video of really horrible situation.
Thanks, Jari! Looking forward to seeing you out in the plains again!
