EF4 Tornado Newnan GA 03-26-21 Actual Footage

  • View is in the southerly direction on the south side of the tornado path and I believe it captures the inflow into the tornado. The center of the tornado path is about 2000ft to the right of the camera.
    Tornado Approaches around 5:30 Timepoint.
    There is a steadily increasing low frequency roar as the tornado approaches that might be the sound of the tornado.
    Update:
    I found some preliminary data from the NOAA on the tornado track and specific intensities. I've updated my initial estimates based on this. The location of the EF4 damaged areas of Newnan are about 4000ft away and the EF3 damage on Newnan HS is about 3500ft away just to give you a relative perspective. I think the intensity you're seeing in the video is probably in the EF0/EF1 range based on our location in the path. The experience must have been much worse closer in. I would love to hear some expert observations on what we're seeing (and hearing) here. I can probably get time stamps for the video.
    There's a lot of interest in the camera. It's a Unifi G3 Bullet. It's mounted up under the edge of the roof. I'm assuming the roof edge is what shielded it. It did get a little dirty but wasn't hit with anything - just barely.

    Since it was dark and the tornado was likely shrouded in a fog of rain and debris it might be difficult to capture the tornado wedge. This view is actually facing away from the tornado and captures the inflow mostly. Center of the path was probably about 2000ft away.

NOAA Weather Radios Are The Very Best And Should Be Your Primary Alert & Your Computer, Cellphone, Television Or Radio Should Be Your Secondary Way Of Receiving Warnings! Don't Rely On Tornado Sirens To Warn You Of An Approaching Tornado! They were a good idea in an era before NOAA Weather Radio Broadcasts didn't cover many areas of the country. But now, that has been rectified! NOAA has built many more Broadcast Stations & Transmitters That Will Cover Almost All Populated Areas Of The Country And They Are The Best Way Of Receiving Urgent Weather Warnings.

    That sound is VERY familiar! I went through this in May 2019, on a Saturday night. The lightning was spectacularly SCARY & then stillness. The only way to see the tornado was when lightning lit up the sky - you could see the rotation & funnel coming down. We went into the storm shelter & waited. The forecaster & storm chasers were forcefully telling everyone to “take cover now! & the sirens were blaring. You think it’s right above you, but it was 1 mile from the house. That roar was scary AF as you hoped the storm shelter would hold up. It changed direction at the last minute so all we had were downed limbs, roofing shingles & trash cans strewn about in the neighborhood. 1 mile away was a different story; no deaths, but a LOT of damage.

    Hands down one of the best nature made videos. The build up roar was about all I could handle. Its like an action movie. Love love love. Sharing this everywhere.

    Details: Tornado started in Heard County at 11:37PM and tracked along 39 miles to Fayette County where it ended at 12:30AM on 3/26/21. It was a confirmed EF4 that was 1.05 miles wide (1850 yards) clocking in at 170MPH+ wind speeds. There was one fatality and multiple injuries from this particular storm. Folks got lucky in Newman (population 50,000); given the time of the event, the EF4 rating, and the overall storm size, this could have been much much worse... thank God it wasn’t. Scary stuff right there... that is pretty much a worst case scenario.

    I like how the camera was blinded by rain but when it stopped it was hit by a tree and made it through
    That thing's a tank 👀

    Man that's as close as I would want to get to one of those. I was 10 miles from a 7.1 earthquake in a mobile home, and it was nothing like that. Glad you are safe!

      How does an earthquake get IN a mobile home?! Just being smart mouth!
      We live in a mobile home, and there's no shelter in the park!
      That's scary, but being in a mobile home through an earthquake would be TERRIFYING!!!
      Glad you're OK! Have you been on Xanax ever since?! 😉

      Our friends lived in Sylmar when the 1971 quake hit @ 6.6 mag. Scared them so bad, they immediately moved to Illinois (tornado alley). 😬

    Not only is this security camera sturdy, but it also has a battery backup for when the tornado takes out the power lines.
    That's really impressive.
    The roar from that tornado was incredible to hear and must've been terrifying to experience in person.
    Not often do you hear the siren and get hit directly in the next few minutes.
    The lights stayed on for a pretty long time.

    The fact that they included 7 min of build up beginning with the sound of sirens, rumbles of distant thunder then the dull roar of the tornado as it approaches is sheer terror. Hollywood couldn't have done it better!

    Oh WOW!! I cannot begin to imagine how scary that had to have been. I live about 30 minutes or so up the road but watched the weather forecasters. I’ve always heard that it sounds like a train though...I didn’t hear any train sounds.
    I’m so sorry for what you’re all dealing with,....praying for all of you!!

      They seem to vary with sound. I've heard they sound like trains, massive waterfalls, jet engines, and rocket launches.

    Jeeeeez, when you first hear that sound. Think I usually close my eyes to block out everything except listening. First to decide if it's a constant sound. Then, if it is, listen to see if it's getting louder or softer.
    Glad you guys are okay.
