Security footage that is high definition, not a slideshow, has audio, and doesn't get destroyed in the tornado is one of the man made wonders of the world.
My kids and I were in the joplin tornado, the sound is deafening. As it went over us, it literally sucked the air from our lungs and as you tried to take a breath, you got a mouthful of dust and debris.
Unfortunately here in Georgia, almost all of our tornadoes hit after dark, I'm in Murray county in NW Georgia and had an ef2 just miss my house on Easter night last year, we got lucky,a lot of my neighbors not so much.
i grew up in North Texas in Tornado alley and i dont know about other people that are from tornado alley but when we had tornado watches and warnings i didnt go to sleep at night until they had passed
God was like, son, "go trim the earth. It's looking overgrown." Son: "Dad, I'm in the middle of a cribbage tournament. Can I send a plague instead?" 2020: "and that's how it became a crappy year for everything. It's not my fault. Honest!"
The low roar in the 6:00+ range is definitely the tornado. This is one of the best audio recordings of the sound of a tornado that I have heard. Most are muddled by wind noise on the microphone, but this one is perfect leading up to the wind noise actually blowing in the mic.
It's hard to describe what I'm hearing it's at 6:05-6:06.. it's almost a higher pitched version of running off the road onto the shoulder type sound...lol....I can't really describe it. It's creepier than the other "roars" I've heard. A lot more menacing than just a bunch of wind noises.
I was waiting for a deer to stroll by, it looks peaceful like in the woods. I wonder what happens to the forest critters during a Tasmanian Devil rampage. 🥺
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.
You were definitely in or near the tornadic circulation , since you yourself said you were some 1200 feet away and the tornado was reported to be a mile wide at it’s peak you were either in the inflow or RFD
i did too , i saw it in alabama and since all of them were long tracked that day i saw where this one was headed , i live in the area and in just glad everyone stayed safe
tracking that day on radarscope was horrific. i remember audibly saying ‘oh my god’ when i saw the Brent EF3 radar couplet. i thought for sure people were goners but somehow there were no fatalities
My mom lives right by Newnan High School and I’m so glad her and her neighbors are all safe. It did so much damage and it’s so sad to see it all. Hoping the best for everyone
I live in Australia. We had a tornado rip through a city near where I used to live. The damage was really bad. The footage you have captured is hectic and those sirens are insane. The sounds of those would be deafening. My heart goes out to everyone who was effected by this. Who’s houses got destroyed and business. I hope and pray that there was no lives lost.
That is truly terrifying. The sirens cutting off too soon is scary too. The roar building up as it gets closer is the stuff of nightmares. Nothing is more frightening than night tornados, especially if they are confirmed, large, and violent. Video of the Greensburg EF-5 in the night, the monster twister only briefly shown by the occasional flash of lightning.... Terrible! This is on-par! This coming from a Kansan and a Skywarn spotter.
@@patriciafoster3347 Either the sirens were mistakenly or accidentally canceled or the tornado took out the power. It almost sounds like multiple sirens nearby and all of them quit at once and the the time before impact is out there. Granted don't know where everything is in relation to the tornado, its speed & direction. It could have taken the power out to the sirens. Either way, it could falsely bring people out of their shelter! Very good reason to stay in shelter and have some kind of weather radio, FM radio or other means of getting information to know when it is safe to come out.
@@mytmousemalibu That makes sense. Didn’t think of it. My exhusband lives over off Lower Fayetteville Road. He did say that everything went down and they had no idea what was going on.
During the August 2020 derecho here in Iowa, I heard the sirens wailing (unobstructed path to my home) and when they wound down I knew the power was out for the duration...TEN DAYS’ WORTH!
Usually when the sirens go off around here they stay off, never once have they come back on, so I assumed it was all good. The tornado warning had expired by then too. I was out on my balcony watching the lightning when I got the Tornado Emergency alert on my phone and the sirens didn't come back on until about a minute after that.
Precisely! We say that you should have two ways of Receiving Tornado Warnings and Neither One Of Them Should Be Tornado Sirens! 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.
@@davidcubero2137 I live about a 30 minute drive east of newnan and I woke up to the mix of Fayette County 's sirens and two cell phones screaming. I...didn't know emergency radios were a thing? Like, I always thought they were for after the storm, when you had no power and no way to know what was going on. I will look into this.
RUclips search "vortexva nebraska tornado" the video title will be "Columbus, Nebraska Tornado 6-23-1998 #2" (notice the #2 at the end of that title not #1, it has two videos of the same tornado). In that video you can hear some of the most amazing, non-over-saturated, audio of tornado roar that I've ever come across. Beside that, the video of the tornado (ignoring its sounds) is simply amazing too.
The video doesn't do it justice, I was in the outer part of the tornado and the sound of it getting louder and closer was the scariest thing I've ever heard
This is honestly one of the eeriest tornado videos I’ve watched, even though you can’t see the actual tornado. It’s the sound that does it. That is intense! I hope everyone in its path made it out safely and God bless you all!
The crazy thing is, where I live it was completely calm, even though we were under a tornado emergency. It’s crazy to think that not very far from where I live, it was this bad, while we got maybe a bit of rain and wind
This video is amazing. The eerie sounds of the Tornado siren to start. Then you hear the sound of the Tornado like a train coming closer and closer until it hits. I watched this video twice. Thank you for sharing. Simply amazing.
At 4:41 what sounds like a car going off the side of the road (those washboard looking grooves) to warn you, is the tornado making that sound or is it thunder? Hard to describe the noise I'm hearing. Creepy tornado. 🤣
I live in Oklahoma, and its the beginning of tornado season..This is excellent footage.. we are always so busy hiding from it we never get to see it. Thank you!
I didn't think Newnan was a likely target until I read a headline from The Weather Channel. I had to call my father quickly since he was in the area. He's fine now and the house took no damage thankfully
This is crazy!I can’t believe you got all of that without the camera being damaged! Wow! The sound horrifies me because I was in one as a child and had to be cut out with jaws of life. I still have extreme anxiety when I know we are under a tornado watch. Newnan is my home, born and raised. I hope you are ok and no read major damage was done to your home.
Man this tornado scared the life out of everyone in Newman, peachtree city, sharpsburg, and here in Riverdale. I’ve never seen the streets clear so quick. Heard this sucker from 20 miles away.
You live in Riverdale? I live in Jonesboro,luckily all we got was heavy breezes though it did concern me and I never take anything for granted.Glad you were ok. Clayton County doesn't see tornados and idek if we have sirens. If we do they aren't through the county.
Oh my gosh. How freaking scary! I had an EF1 pass closely over my neighborhood and I froze in bed because I had never in my life heard such heart stopping sounds. It continued on and hit the university a bit beyond my home and did some rather nasty damage. I cannot even begin to fathom the ferocity and the noise this EF4 made. Glad you were okay.
The sound of the tornado approaching was chilling. If the camera was almost 1/2 mile away from the funnel, I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to be closer to it. So glad that nobody was killed.
i forgot the channel name but there’s a video on youtube called something like “first person view of joplin tornado” and it’s a recording from someone who was in a gas station hit directly by the tornado. i was scared it was going to bust my phone’s speakers because it was so loud. i can’t imagine how loud it is to actually be there
Really? Your not scared of 20 year old Mike Tyson coked out of his head holding a white tiger on a chain while standing in his underwear? That’s terrifying. Oh and it really happened and there’s a picture of it.
Hearing that sound, like an oncoming freight train, gave me a flashback to when I was 5: it's a sound you never, ever forget. I'm glad you're okay, and thanks for sharing this footage.
We did lose power after it passes at 8:45. You can see the flood light and the street lights both go out. I'm amazed it lasted that long. The camera is on a short backup battery that runs out after about 15mins.
You can start hearing the tornado coming around 1:50. We had an EF4 last Easter and I'll never forget this sound as long as I live. So glad you are safe!
That was the most intense build up and footage I have witnessed to date and really the roar is nothing like I have ever heard before, amazing video thank you!!
One of the best footages of an approaching tornado; clear picture with great sound capture that includes pure, natural noise. This is exciting to watch.
Yeah but what kinda picture would u get from that pretty badass camera If the tornado had just dropped a fugitive Bank Robber down in your yard! Ha! Ha! Checkmate Camera! there's never been a clear picture of a bank robbery suspect in history of bank robberies to this day! lol Be Safe!
I do believe good Sir you should watermark this video and sell it to the company that makes this camera.. that aside, this video is up in my top 5 scariest videos... that roar... terrifying
Why am I so obsessed with close up tornado footage?? I’ve been searching RUclips the past week like a drug addict searching for drugs. It’s hard to stop watching them once you start.
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.
Wow! My mother & sister along with her family were just out of the path of this thing. But boy, those alarms gave everyone chills being awakened out of their sleep.
@Niccolo Guerra I know why sirens are in place. My comment was just stating the fact that more and more tornadoes are popping up more frequently in the Southeast, when I haven't seen a single rotation where I live, which used to be the heart of Tornado Alley.
We live north of Newnan, in Marietta. We had wind, a lot of rain, and a lot of lightning, and were under the tornado watch. We've been through a couple, scary as shit! EF4 - haven't seen that in any of the news reports. Thank god no one got killed. Oh, that's one good camera you've got there!
Douglasville here. I heard reports that one was in the area for us that day but I checked outside and didn't really see anything or hear anything other than rain and hail. I knew it was a bad storm passing though. We don't get many tornados in georgia. And if they do come they are usually pretty weak. This one in newnan was just built different I guess.
Anybody else love buildups to the actual tornado? You got the siren going in the background, winds starting to pick up, knowing whats bearing down on this area and hearing its rumble as it approaches. While I do not ever wish for anybody's property to be destroyed or for potential loss of life I do love these videos.
The slow buildup of this approaching tornado , plus the sirens makes it pretty intense. Great video and anticipation…from the comfort and safety of my living room.
This is scary, as much as I enjoy watching tornado videos i’m thankful we don’t get them that often in the UK. Glad you’s were all safe and sound and hope anyone who did suffer ill effects of this storm can recover quickly
I am from Idaho - no extreme weather to really speak of, other than avalanches. However, I lived in Oklahoma in 1999 when they had those horrific tornadoes. Never been so scared - and awestruck - in my life!
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.
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. Gearing up for spring storms on Wednesday. 4/5/21 @ 9:16P.
Three years ago right now. Atmosphere turned at my place just like here. Was waiting for the house to start breaking up. This is one heck of a video. Thanks for posting.
Ive been watching tornado videos for 25 years and this might be the creepiest one I've ever seen. Viewers should turn up your speakers(or use headphones) and turn off your lights and just let yourself imagine you're sitting there listening to this monster coming at you. Im so glad the uploader didnt edit it down and just show when it hit since the buildup is the best part, especially starting with the siren. I could only imagine if the center of the tornado came through here but I think if that happened the camera, and more importantly the house, would have not survived.
That was a scary night. My sister in law lives on Garden Hills and her house was destroyed. I am so thankful it wasn’t a deadly tornado. The emotions are so heavy seeing our beautiful town devastated and forever changed. But also, forever STRONG!!
it was a deadly toranado tho.. only 1 fatality but still.. its a terrifying blessing that it hit at night. i can hardly recognize downtown now, imagine if that storm had some more strength from the gulf.. downtown wouldve been alt f4'd
i’m sending you & your family well wishes. it’s horrifying because most of us georgians ever expected to need to prepare for such a destructive tornado
@@Markbabb we get a lot of tornado warnings, but not actual tornados. the national weather service estimates that we get about 60 a year with most being very small and not lasting very long. the last EF4 that we got before the newnan one was april 27 2011 + we’ve never recorded an EF5. so this tornado is quite literally one of the strongest that has ever hit georgia. doesn’t help that newnan is a pretty big city (population of 39k, peachtree city has 35k for comparison) . the EF4 from 2011 killed 7 people and injured 30 so i’m very happy that there’s been less damage this time around
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.
The amount of things that had to be right to have this entire video; sturdy camera with audio and high quality video, strong home that withstood the tornado, underground power infrastructure so the power remained on, and whatever the hell the homeowner used to secure that camera to the house. Excellent video.
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?! 😉
You can see the rain go from straight down to sideways and then the sound starts building up. This is so really great footage and to know that the tornado was 2000ft away and still produce these types of winds is nuts!
That was about as intense as it could get. The building up of the roar had me mesmerized! Great video, prayers for those who suffered loss in this storm.
That is frightening. The roar of the tornado does not sound like a freight train to me, not at all. I have lived near train tracks most of my adult life and watched many videos here. Tornadoes have their own scary sound. Glad you are safe.
About 33 years ago, a tornado swept through my neighborhood, damaging several homes, including mine (no injuries, thank God). I thought it sounded like going through a car wash, but much louder. Watching this video gave me flashbacks and white knuckles.
I have a friend from Newnan who's got family up there, and apparently, she has an aunt that actually lives on one of the streets this thing rolled over. But thankfully, her aunt's house was spared.
I got fear chills watching this. 🙏My sister & her family lives in Newnan and by God's grace her house was on the other side of this subdivision that got totaled. Praying for everyone living there
like a thousand waterfalls or a thousand jets taking off at once. sound and percussion goes through your entire body and skull. This is very well captured. I hope the GA NWS gets a copy of it for educational and archive purposes.
During Hurricane Ivan, at 2 am a tornado went through a line of pine trees about 50 feet behind our house. Ivan was already blowing so hard that you couldn't hear the extra wind, but the pines sounded like cannon fire when they snapped. I was more worried about the roof coming off, the way it was creaking.
Great description. I was watching and thinking..this is not EF4 damage but your explanation makes perfect sense. Prayers for your community. We were hit by an EF4 in '94 and it definitely gave me a better respect for these beasts.
This is about the most intense video I have seen to date. A friend & her mother lived on Boone Dr & the only place they had to go was their car. They were not injured, but I can only imagine the terror they went thru. The house was destroyed & both cars. It was only thru the grace & mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who saved them.
For the benefit of anyone reading this: Unless Dan's mother & friend lived in a trailer park, a mobile home, or a 'manufactured home', they were worse off by taking cover in a car. The windows, and the sheet metal/plastic body of a vehicle offers virtually no protection from flying debris. Even stones & small pieces of wood thrown by strong winds can penetrate the windows & body of a vehicle. If they lived in a wood-frame house, then an interior room on the lowest floor that has no windows would have been their best bet. Also, since the majority of serious injuries & fatalities in a severe wind/tornado/hurricane are head injuries, it is prudent to have some sort of protective helmet to put on when taking cover during severe weather (a hardshell helmet for baseball batters, football, hockey, bicycling, motorcycling, etc.)
Also put on shoes when you take shelter. A helmet is preferred, but if you don’t have one pillows, a mattress, something to provide a barrier between you and any debris. I lived in Newnan for several years growing up. My best friend lives a block from Newnan HS. They were spared with minor damage. I currently live in Alabama and watched this storm from the beginning. I knew it was going to be bad. Prayers to all.
Security footage that is high definition, not a slideshow, has audio, and doesn't get destroyed in the tornado is one of the man made wonders of the world.

I...didn't know emergency radios were a thing? Like, I always thought they were for after the storm, when you had no power and no way to know what was going on. I will look into this.
I had on a set of good headphones while listening, good grief, didn't expect for it to actually sound like a train. Glad you are ok!
That was exactly my thought! "Wow it really does sound like a train".
RUclips search "vortexva nebraska tornado" the video title will be "Columbus, Nebraska Tornado 6-23-1998 #2" (notice the #2 at the end of that title not #1, it has two videos of the same tornado). In that video you can hear some of the most amazing, non-over-saturated, audio of tornado roar that I've ever come across. Beside that, the video of the tornado (ignoring its sounds) is simply amazing too.
@@Those2menoverthere That really was amazing footage, thank you!
The video doesn't do it justice, I was in the outer part of the tornado and the sound of it getting louder and closer was the scariest thing I've ever heard
@@marke2571 Yep no problem, ain't sayin' it's the best one ever, but I sure as heck haven't heard a video yet that quite competes with it.
This is honestly one of the eeriest tornado videos I’ve watched, even though you can’t see the actual tornado. It’s the sound that does it. That is intense! I hope everyone in its path made it out safely and God bless you all!
5:30 It is noticeable, 6:30 it ramps up and 7:30 is full fledge!!
It was noticeable ass soon as the video started you could hear it
The crazy thing is, where I live it was completely calm, even though we were under a tornado emergency. It’s crazy to think that not very far from where I live, it was this bad, while we got maybe a bit of rain and wind
actually about on the 3 minute mark
Thank you lol
9:00
Calm
It’s so scary hearing the train like noise getting closer and closer
I’ve always wondered what a tornado sound like in person.
That was a Tornado Siren
@@mariauzcategui5347 huh?
@@mariauzcategui5347 you can't be that dumb!
@@mariauzcategui5347 😳🙄
This video is amazing. The eerie sounds of the Tornado siren to start. Then you hear the sound of the Tornado like a train coming closer and closer until it hits. I watched this video twice. Thank you for sharing. Simply amazing.
I agree. This video really scares me every time. It gets sooo quiet then BOOM.
At 4:41 what sounds like a car going off the side of the road (those washboard looking grooves) to warn you, is the tornado making that sound or is it thunder? Hard to describe the noise I'm hearing. Creepy tornado. 🤣
I live in Oklahoma, and its the beginning of tornado season..This is excellent footage.. we are always so busy hiding from it we never get to see it. Thank you!
Oh, bless you and keep you all safe!!😊
Idiot
So I'm watching and thinking, "wow those pines are some sturdy trees" and then all hell broke loose.
What's interesting is that the trunk of a pine tree will snap before it's ever uprooted. Pines have a massive tap root, where oaks don't.
@@danieldoesdumbstuff that’s not really true but alright
@@JayYT_04 I've never seen an uprooted pine tree
@@danieldoesdumbstuff There are images and a lot of videos online. I have even seen a pine tree uprooted myself.
@@JayYT_04 maybe I'm wrong then
I didn't think Newnan was a likely target until I read a headline from The Weather Channel. I had to call my father quickly since he was in the area. He's fine now and the house took no damage thankfully
This is crazy!I can’t believe you got all of that without the camera being damaged! Wow! The sound horrifies me because I was in one as a child and had to be cut out with jaws of life. I still have extreme anxiety when I know we are under a tornado watch. Newnan is my home, born and raised. I hope you are ok and no read major damage was done to your home.
Pines are weak! Most hardwood trees are strong but no match for a tornado.
Man this tornado scared the life out of everyone in Newman, peachtree city, sharpsburg, and here in Riverdale. I’ve never seen the streets clear so quick. Heard this sucker from 20 miles away.
You live in Riverdale? I live in Jonesboro,luckily all we got was heavy breezes though it did concern me and I never take anything for granted.Glad you were ok. Clayton County doesn't see tornados and idek if we have sirens. If we do they aren't through the county.
Whoa, that build up to the arrival was intense, seemed like you could hear it coming forever. Wow.
My heart was racing a bit there.
The calm before the storm! Wow!
You can hear the tornado the whole time. It just gets louder. You can kind of hear stuff being hit in the distance.
Oh my gosh. How freaking scary! I had an EF1 pass closely over my neighborhood and I froze in bed because I had never in my life heard such heart stopping sounds. It continued on and hit the university a bit beyond my home and did some rather nasty damage. I cannot even begin to fathom the ferocity and the noise this EF4 made. Glad you were okay.
The sound of the tornado approaching was chilling. If the camera was almost 1/2 mile away from the funnel, I can't imagine how terrifying it would be to be closer to it. So glad that nobody was killed.
i forgot the channel name but there’s a video on youtube called something like “first person view of joplin tornado” and it’s a recording from someone who was in a gas station hit directly by the tornado. i was scared it was going to bust my phone’s speakers because it was so loud. i can’t imagine how loud it is to actually be there
One person die I believe.
@@misseselise3864 Yes, that Joplin video is scary as hell, even though it's pretty much all audio.
One person died from a heart attack during the tornado.
@@mpk6664 it was after when he went to go check on his daughter. Fact check before you type
A tornado is really the only thing that I am actually scared of.
I've experienced quite a few, not afraid, but safety after a warning is a must. In my case , it wasn't my time(s)
FAX NO PRINTER
Really? A Hurricane is much worse, there’s no storm shelter for a hurricane🤷🏻♂️
Really? Your not scared of 20 year old Mike Tyson coked out of his head holding a white tiger on a chain while standing in his underwear? That’s terrifying. Oh and it really happened and there’s a picture of it.
YOU SHOULD BE SCARED OF GOD ALSO
Hearing that sound, like an oncoming freight train, gave me a flashback to when I was 5: it's a sound you never, ever forget. I'm glad you're okay, and thanks for sharing this footage.
Yep! IL here. Years ago, I heard the rumble, then saw sideways rain. Immediately screamed to take shelter. You don't forget it.
Bro i live in enwnan this storm was so horrible it hit my house im glad we had a basement i thank god for keeping my family safe crazy
Amen
so glad your safe! scary stuff!!!!
I’m from Riverdale and I could hear it all the way over here bro
I am glad you are still with us.
The video is amazing. The audio, hearing the storm continue to approach and grow louder until the inevitable, was absolutely horrifying!
Checks bottom of camera:
“Made in Wakanda”
You win the internet!
✊🏾lol I love it
😂😂😂
😭😂🤣😦😱
You win!
Great video clarity & audio. You could really hear coming in for a while, and never lost power!
We did lose power after it passes at 8:45. You can see the flood light and the street lights both go out. I'm amazed it lasted that long. The camera is on a short backup battery that runs out after about 15mins.
You can start hearing the tornado coming around 1:50. We had an EF4 last Easter and I'll never forget this sound as long as I live. So glad you are safe!
That was terrifying. The rumble of the monster heading straight for you...
That was the most intense build up and footage I have witnessed to date and really the roar is nothing like I have ever heard before, amazing video thank you!!
I lived though this! It demolished my neighborhood in the Shenandoah section of Newnan. It was terrifying!
Same! I live on Millard farmer and that day I was with my friend on shenandoah, all of the neighborhood was damaged.
Sorry you had to go through it!!!
Glad you're okay!
"TORNADO WARNING"
Everyone: *run to the shelter!*
The outside camera: "Oh no! Anyway!"
Boy you know shits getting real when you hear that emergency horn and see hail
hail
@@brucezar9517
Want a cookie ???
Here in Georgia well near Atlanta it’s rare to hear that siren
@@juancarlosnambo202 here in Alabama it’s common
No, you know it gets real when the emergency horn suddenly stops with a growing sustained wind in the distance
One of the best footages of an approaching tornado; clear picture with great sound capture that includes pure, natural noise. This is exciting to watch.
Wow ... thats an experience I can say I'd rather miss. It's a blessing you guys were safe. Thanks for the video
This camera that’s in a tornado has better filming quality than school fights
Yeah but what kinda picture would u get from that pretty badass camera If the tornado had just dropped a fugitive Bank Robber down in your yard! Ha! Ha!
Checkmate Camera! there's never been a clear picture of a bank robbery suspect in history of bank robberies to this day!
lol
Be Safe!
@Francisco Nieves confused
This is by far the best footage I’ve seen of the one that hit Newnan , and holy cow that is so terrifying
I do believe good Sir you should watermark this video and sell it to the company that makes this camera.. that aside, this video is up in my top 5 scariest videos... that roar... terrifying
lose the flag
@@havanaice1004 don't tell people what to do.
This flag is what is terrifying... You should absolutely lose it with fire.
@@ravyn7846 what flag?
@@michaelws6247 need a boot?
Amazing capture of an EF-4 'rumble'. Thankfully you were on the far outer edge of the core!
Why am I so obsessed with close up tornado footage?? I’ve been searching RUclips the past week like a drug addict searching for drugs. It’s hard to stop watching them once you start.
Me too. Have been a junkie for years. Tornados are the real monsters!
I could hear it approaching as early as just before 4:00 in. Amazing catch and great mounting work on that camera!!
Kudos to whoever installed this camera. It did not shake the first time! Amazing the damage tornadoes cause in such a short period of time.
Jumped right over our house then hit the ones on the other side. I was so damn worried. Thank God it missed us.
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.
Tornado sirens give me chest pain, that's how much they scare me.
Me too!!!!! 😢😬
@Well Hungarian I think someone said in another comment that the tornado did damage the siren.
SAME! I’ve lived in Alabama my entire life, and I don’t think I’ll ever not feel immediate panic when I hear one.
I’m surprised this camera has audio! I’m used to seeing silent security footage of tornadoes. 😱
Wow! My mother & sister along with her family were just out of the path of this thing. But boy, those alarms gave everyone chills being awakened out of their sleep.
.....in Georgia. I'm in Kansas and I haven't seen a single tornado go through Topeka since I moved here. almost 7 years ago.
@Niccolo Guerra I know why sirens are in place. My comment was just stating the fact that more and more tornadoes are popping up more frequently in the Southeast, when I haven't seen a single rotation where I live, which used to be the heart of Tornado Alley.
@@jordanashford7521 that's shocking. And Newnan had one just last year (EF-2) right from about this time.
Please don't rely on sirens to wake you up.
That roar getting closer and louder. Chilling.
We live north of Newnan, in Marietta. We had wind, a lot of rain, and a lot of lightning, and were under the tornado watch. We've been through a couple, scary as shit! EF4 - haven't seen that in any of the news reports. Thank god no one got killed. Oh, that's one good camera you've got there!
Douglasville here. I heard reports that one was in the area for us that day but I checked outside and didn't really see anything or hear anything other than rain and hail. I knew it was a bad storm passing though. We don't get many tornados in georgia. And if they do come they are usually pretty weak. This one in newnan was just built different I guess.
@@12runes Never trust vision or hearing alway's rely on mobile alert's.
Anybody else love buildups to the actual tornado? You got the siren going in the background, winds starting to pick up, knowing whats bearing down on this area and hearing its rumble as it approaches. While I do not ever wish for anybody's property to be destroyed or for potential loss of life I do love these videos.
Awesome video! Now I can see why they say calm before the storm, and that was plain chilling!!!
The slow buildup of this approaching tornado , plus the sirens makes it pretty intense. Great video and anticipation…from the comfort and safety of my living room.
Omg, the noise is about as creepy as it gets! 😱😱😱
This is scary, as much as I enjoy watching tornado videos i’m thankful we don’t get them that often in the UK. Glad you’s were all safe and sound and hope anyone who did suffer ill effects of this storm can recover quickly
That dull roar you hear in the distance and it just gradually gets louder and louder.
For sure
No dramatic background music needed...the tornado created its own.
Took longer to get there than I thought as well. I thought it was over and then that's when all hell broke loose
This video does not represent the sound a tornado makes. All you really heard here was really strong wind. Imagine a freight train out of hell.
Yes, I too watch the video!
I am from Idaho - no extreme weather to really speak of, other than avalanches. However, I lived in Oklahoma in 1999 when they had those horrific tornadoes. Never been so scared - and awestruck - in my life!
Oklahoma's horrific! Just joking! 🤣
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.
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. Gearing up for spring storms on Wednesday. 4/5/21 @ 9:16P.
Was that in and around Dayton Ohio?
@@SilentWeaponsQuietWars im goging
Three years ago right now. Atmosphere turned at my place just like here. Was waiting for the house to start breaking up. This is one heck of a video. Thanks for posting.
this tornado was the nearest to me. thank god it didn't hit us! prayers for those in Newnan.
same here dissapted in Fayette County, they were telling us to seek shelter because it was a tornado emergency, with winds up to 170 mph!
Ive been watching tornado videos for 25 years and this might be the creepiest one I've ever seen. Viewers should turn up your speakers(or use headphones) and turn off your lights and just let yourself imagine you're sitting there listening to this monster coming at you. Im so glad the uploader didnt edit it down and just show when it hit since the buildup is the best part, especially starting with the siren. I could only imagine if the center of the tornado came through here but I think if that happened the camera, and more importantly the house, would have not survived.
That was a scary night. My sister in law lives on Garden Hills and her house was destroyed. I am so thankful it wasn’t a deadly tornado. The emotions are so heavy seeing our beautiful town devastated and forever changed. But also, forever STRONG!!
it was a deadly toranado tho.. only 1 fatality but still.. its a terrifying blessing that it hit at night. i can hardly recognize downtown now, imagine if that storm had some more strength from the gulf.. downtown wouldve been alt f4'd
Do you guys usually get tornadoes in Georgia
@@Markbabb not strong ones like that. Last time GA got hit by an ef 4 was about a decade ago. That was a rain wrapped, night time tornado as well
i’m sending you & your family well wishes. it’s horrifying because most of us georgians ever expected to need to prepare for such a destructive tornado
@@Markbabb we get a lot of tornado warnings, but not actual tornados. the national weather service estimates that we get about 60 a year with most being very small and not lasting very long. the last EF4 that we got before the newnan one was april 27 2011 + we’ve never recorded an EF5. so this tornado is quite literally one of the strongest that has ever hit georgia. doesn’t help that newnan is a pretty big city (population of 39k, peachtree city has 35k for comparison) . the EF4 from 2011 killed 7 people and injured 30 so i’m very happy that there’s been less damage this time around
The sound!!!! Thanks for the upload. Hope you and your neighbors recover well.
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.
The amount of things that had to be right to have this entire video; sturdy camera with audio and high quality video, strong home that withstood the tornado, underground power infrastructure so the power remained on, and whatever the hell the homeowner used to secure that camera to the house. Excellent video.
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). 😬
You can see the rain go from straight down to sideways and then the sound starts building up. This is so really great footage and to know that the tornado was 2000ft away and still produce these types of winds is nuts!
I live at West Gate and this was the scariest thing I experienced so far in my life
One of the best I have ever seen! You can hear the roar about 5.5 min in . No screaming or yelling, cussing ect...
GREAT JOB! Hope everyone is ok!? 🙏🙏
Finally. Good, steady, clear, camera footage.
No screaming the obvious or F💣 🤣
That was about as intense as it could get. The building up of the roar had me mesmerized! Great video, prayers for those who suffered loss in this storm.
I did a drive around tour of the town like a few weeks before the tornado 😣
That is frightening. The roar of the tornado does not sound like a freight train to me, not at all. I have lived near train tracks most of my adult life and watched many videos here. Tornadoes have their own scary sound. Glad you are safe.
About 33 years ago, a tornado swept through my neighborhood, damaging several homes, including mine (no injuries, thank God). I thought it sounded like going through a car wash, but much louder. Watching this video gave me flashbacks and white knuckles.
I have a friend from Newnan who's got family up there, and apparently, she has an aunt that actually lives on one of the streets this thing rolled over. But thankfully, her aunt's house was spared.
It's amazing how the build up takes so long but then it so quickly comes and destroys everything and quickly leaves. Fascinating stuff
I got fear chills watching this. 🙏My sister & her family lives in Newnan and by God's grace her house was on the other side of this subdivision that got totaled. Praying for everyone living there
I need to get me a camera like that. BTW, I'm glad you all came out fine and was able to share this with us.
like a thousand waterfalls or a thousand jets taking off at once. sound and percussion goes through your entire body and skull.
This is very well captured. I hope the GA NWS gets a copy of it for educational and archive purposes.
During Hurricane Ivan, at 2 am a tornado went through a line of pine trees about 50 feet behind our house. Ivan was already blowing so hard that you couldn't hear the extra wind, but the pines sounded like cannon fire when they snapped. I was more worried about the roof coming off, the way it was creaking.
Or a train coming, and the tracks are in your living room.
That is the best sound from a tornado I've heard. The big ones all sound just like that. Like your standing by the tracks as a train comes by.
Not just any train, though. A heavily loaded FREIGHT train going 100 mph through your livingroom!
I live in Newnan. Schools closed for two weeks. Friend of mine’s house completely in ruins.
I’m so sorry. So many are praying and coming with aid.
This camera deserves special recognition. Amazing video, indeed some of the best tornado audio I’ve ever heard.
Those air raid sirens are giving me flashbacks to living in TX
Dekalb, Tx. Here
Yep. Native North Texan, & they go off at least once pretty much every season, plus at noon on the first Wed of every month.
Texas is awesome
Great description. I was watching and thinking..this is not EF4 damage but your explanation makes perfect sense. Prayers for your community. We were hit by an EF4 in '94 and it definitely gave me a better respect for these beasts.
This is about the most intense video I have seen to date. A friend & her mother lived on Boone Dr & the only place they had to go was their car. They were not injured, but I can only imagine the terror they went thru. The house was destroyed & both cars. It was only thru the grace & mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ who saved them.
For the benefit of anyone reading this: Unless Dan's mother & friend lived in a trailer park, a mobile home, or a 'manufactured home', they were worse off by taking cover in a car. The windows, and the sheet metal/plastic body of a vehicle offers virtually no protection from flying debris. Even stones & small pieces of wood thrown by strong winds can penetrate the windows & body of a vehicle. If they lived in a wood-frame house, then an interior room on the lowest floor that has no windows would have been their best bet. Also, since the majority of serious injuries & fatalities in a severe wind/tornado/hurricane are head injuries, it is prudent to have some sort of protective helmet to put on when taking cover during severe weather (a hardshell helmet for baseball batters, football, hockey, bicycling, motorcycling, etc.)
Amen, Amen Want He Do It 😊
Amen, Amen
Also put on shoes when you take shelter. A helmet is preferred, but if you don’t have one pillows, a mattress, something to provide a barrier between you and any debris. I lived in Newnan for several years growing up. My best friend lives a block from Newnan HS. They were spared with minor damage.
I currently live in Alabama and watched this storm from the beginning. I knew it was going to be bad. Prayers to all.
On/Go that builds up with the roar was incredible. That’s the best sound I’ve heard of a tornado coming
