- We filmed a strong tornado as it went into Rolling Fork, MS. Unfortunately the town was destroyed and we had to help pull people out of the rubble as emergency services were over 30 min away. My heart goes out to all those impacted by this destructive tornado.

The worst time for a tornado to form is during sleep hours. How horrifying
it hit Rolling Forks at 8pm, we was there at 8:13pm. it wasn't that late at night
That's astounding. Being British, I haven't seen many tornadoes, but I know enough to know that's gigantic. Kudos to you for helping after it passed. I can't even begin to comprehend the sense of grief and loss felt by those in Rolling Fork. RIP to those lost and best wishes to those rebuilding their lives.
The largest ever recorded was 2.6 miles wide, in El Reno, Oklahoma. That tornado was so powerful, it caused subvortices that whirled around a massive EF4 funnel that was moving at speeds so fast it caught drivers by complete surprise, these subvortices exceeded the threshold for EF5 wind speeds, or as you may know it T11, seeing as we are talking about Europe.
Wild. What a terrifying spectacle. Much respect. You wouldn't catch me anywhere near something like that, willingly at least. I love to watch chasers videos on RUclips. But in person, I'd completely lose composure at such a sight.
Only live once guy lol got enjoy it!!
@@TEXASTRUCKER87 I'll thoroughly enjoy it if I can steer clear of the death funnels. I love a good thunderstorm, but that? No thanks.
I'm with you lol. I can't handle regular storms at times because I am deathly afraid of death funnels! Here in RUclips? I can hane that just fine. Much respect to these storm chasers and I thank them for everything they do to protect us
@@TEXASTRUCKER87 You have a Death wish, be my guest lol. Perhaps you should become a storm chaser!
@@ugib8377
I too love a good thunderstorm (especially at night!)
And I would chase a tornado ... but only in daylight! And from a good safe distance.
Car in the video is actually picked up at 1:40 toward the left side of the tornado, it actually circled completely around it once before it was fully lifted into the air. If you slow the video down and use your mouse or space bar to go forward one click at a time, you can actually see the car tumbling where you can see both front and rear lights.
At around 1:50 there appears to be a vehicle with its headlights on being hurled around the tornado. That's insane.
edit: nvm that does look like a car, wow. 😨
@@isupportthecurrentthing5225 no…it’s not…it’s very clearly not
Another stream I saw they were saying it could be a drone. Hard to tell but it looked a little bigger than a drone. Maybe a UTV?
The light more or less seems to always be facing/visible to the camera, which wouldn't be the case if it were a vehicle, as you'd imagine a vehicle picked up would spin and cartwheel wildly.
@@Eva.Aurora Agree. Dont think it was a vehicle with its lights pointed directly at us for that entire duration.
It's either some light source that can be seen from multiple angles (like a lantern type of light source) or that was a reflection off the windshield.
Unbelievable footage Max. Such a horrific tornado.
What time did this EF5 strike?
@@rosewetzel8284 Touchdown was just aftter 8:00 PM CDT, I believe. At present, the official rating on this tornado is EF4.
How many fatalities did this tornado cause?
@@dallascowboysnumber1fan I think the survey listed 25 deaths, when I checked last.
@@dallascowboysnumber1fan the death count is officially 30
Watched this live on every feed possible, this is the defining footage of this tornado. Boy it feels so unbelievably strong even through video
I will tell you it WAS insane. Inflow at one time was 90mph per a dow. It was hard to stand up at times.
Oh my god, that thing is a absolute monster. Looks like Mayfield all over again. Great footage and glad you’re safe. God bless everyone who was effected by this tragedy.
What a devastating thing to see. I watched this on radar as it happened. My prayers go out to the victims.
Incredible footage that will definitely be analogged into the history books of one of the most impressive and destructive tornadoes to hit the U.S. Thank you for your awesome dedication and fearless coverage.👍🗽
Blessings! Very kind to help ! ThankYou for sharing so West coast area understands what's happening! I have a lot of family in Midwest surrounding areas! Around 30+ of my loved ones there! Take care and stay safe. Sincerely, in Washington state.
You always get such incredible defined images of the tornado funnel silhouette. Amazing pictures.
Incredible footage! Prayers to all those affected and to those lives lost by this monster of a tornado. Appreciate you and your footage! Much love to you from Texas. 🤙🏽💛
Tornadoes are scary enough especially massively destructive ones like this, but there is something even more terrifying about a nighttime twister that is shrouded in darkness.
Thank you for sharing this insane moment.
Amazing! Praying for the people affected by this crazy storm! 🙏
Oh wow, I couldn’t see these tornadoes in the live feeds last night. This is a monster.
They’re bad enough during the day when there’s visibility, but when you can’t see these at night is why so many people lost their lives.
God be with everyone that was hit with these storms last night.
Never saw your videos man but respect what you do!! I live in Ga.and have always loved rain and thunderstorms even nore than a sunny day.i ended up an Electrician but could of easily went some sort of weather route lol.i bet you havent slept in 24hrs and adrenaline's through the roof as your recording then hurrying up to post it for us then back at it!! STAY SAFE BROTHER,GOD BLESS
Also, the first recorded twister in USA history struck Natchez, Mississippi back on 6 May, 1840. Natchez sits in the Lower Mississippi Valley, the same region that this swarm of recent 2023 tornadoes struck and struck the same region 52 years ago in 1971. Back in those days, they were called "cyclones."
Praying for everyone who was in its path🙏🏽This is some awesome footage 😮
Wow....this is terrifying in the dark! Glad you are safe!
Absolutely insane! Great job to those who caught this and prayers to those who lost loved ones and property
Excellent footage man. Gonna be a historic tornado.
Thanks Celton, still trying to process everything.
Max once again with the best tornado video of an event. Dude, you are always omare on it with the top positions.
Whoa, that’s large! Hope everyone there will be alright.
Thanks for sharing!
Sadly, no. More than 23 deceased and counting. The town of Rolling Fork was obliterated,
@@uchual I saw that…absolutely tragic.
@@uchual i dont care what the wind speeds were, this should have been an ef5 just like mayfield
On man! That is excellent footage of that tornado! I was watching that on radar last night. Well done. That has to be at least an EF4. I saw some horizontal vortices.
Couple minutes ago it was categorized as an EF4
Prayers for those who were in the path and the aftermath.
You've got some iconic footage here max. Well done
Oh man, Looks like Mayfield all over again, Great footage Max as always. Thoughts & 🙏🙏🙏 for Mississippi
Beautiful twister, I love the twister. Hi, I am from Colombia, Bogotá 🇨🇴
Epic. Hopefully not tragic for residents in the area. Dramatic footage. Thanks for posting.
Great Footage! Violent nighttime wedges are one of the scariest things on this Earth.
great catch, this really shows the fury of this tornado
I live in Walls Ms, What I saw last night was insane! Never seen 3 lightning strikes land at once. incredibly beautiful but scary, had to take the long way home because I was sure that the lightning would hit me as well as we were almost right under the storm! I think it lost momentum before it hit where we live. Prayers to all those that were affected by the tornado last night
Thank goodness you made it home safe out of this beasts rathe.💜🐇❤️💚💛
Watched it all unfold from start to finish all the way across the state. Sending prayers 🙏🏼. Historic. Catastrophic.
I just drove through the town today. Broke my heart to see the destruction.
You really out did yourself with this footage. Nothing else like it with this storm.
Prayers for those who lost loved ones.
Intense. Thanks for sharing.
OMG. That thing is absolutely frightening. Even more sinister in the dark. You guys are brave.
That thing was a beast! Thrilling and terrifying!
My prayers gos out to the people in rolling fork Mississippi
Prayers for my home State Mississippi 🙏💔😢🌪️
Absolute monster tornado! Atmosphere was so volatile
It sure was
I have no clue how this thing isn't rated EF-5 yet. This devastated an entire town. It reminds me of the Mayfield KY tornado.
Nice footage this storm was insane and very dangerous.
This is the stuff of my night terrors. I'm not kidding. I don't ever want to experience something like this. My prayers are with rolling fork and anyone affected 😢❤
1:50 I can’t imagine how scary it would have been being in that car hundreds of feet in the sky.
Was watching the tornado plow through the city half a mile north of it and when I saw those lights go up all I could think was how horrifying it must've been for anyone in those cars.
@@gtaylor_wx hey did you get any footage?.
@@MJIZZEL no dick
@@gtaylor_wx yikes, we here half a mile south caught in RFD but a few people in our convoys says one of them was a sheriff who was hit. I dont think he was in the flying cars in this video because he lived.
@@MJIZZEL I did, still have yet to check all my footage, but took a quick look and I also got the faintest view of the lights in the tornado (not nearly as visible as this footage). I'll have a video up as soon as I can.
Dude. Max is the man. (Edward from
Punta Gorda, FL.)
Unreal! 🌪️🌪️
Ninety-eight years and six days earlier, the notorious "Tristate Tornado" plowed through Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana, tracking NE for over 130 miles and claiming 720 lives. The footage here looks very similar to the Mayfield Kentucky tornado a year ago.
Huge and terrifying,menacing looking wow !
Wow! that thing was MASSIVE!
Unreal footage! Is it a vehicle that gets picked up at 01:40 and gives one and a half turn in the tornado? Wow!! Sad for all the destruction... and hoping that there aren't any casualties....
1:35 Fantastic footage jeez
Hands down probably the scariest thing I have ever seen. Unbelievable what Mother Nature can do
Thoughts and prayers for the victims of this horrific weather event.
Having watched this video several times in slow motion, its quite clear that there are two vehicles in the air. From 1:47-1:52 you can see the lights on each side of the funnel. The one on the left is at a lower height.
Something tells me you may not have a very good grasp on physics.
@@prndownload Here is a pro tip for you. Study the damage path of the Smithville 2011 EF5, The Phil Cambell 2011 EF5 and El Reno 2011 EF5 (no, not the infamous 2013 one).
One of these moved an entire oil rig of its foundation.
One lifted a safe from its house and ripped its door open.
One flew two cars through the air, one being a pick up truck that was airlifted for 90 seconds and flew 1.7 miles.
You might learn something..
@@MrGyngve Haha pro tip. You're just wasting my time and embarrassing yourself. If you can't understand why cars don't orbit tornadoes then nothing I can tell you will change your mind.
Me and my family drove through the storm, and rolling fork about 30 minutes before it hit. Insane.
Glad you guys were able to drive through before it hit.
Thank God you made it through! ❤️🌷🌼
Reminds me so much of Mayfield
Good God! This thing is massive.
First.
And I'm glad that didn't happen in my county 😨
What a monster!
OMG those poor people, terrifying thoughts and prayers to them all. ontario
I'm amazed at the strength it had. A monster
Tornados were you can only see them with lighting is top 5 most terrifying things on earth.
WOW
OMG, how terrifying to glimpse this and hear that sound,
That is absolutely terrifying.
So so scary watching this live the other night
I very well believe we will see ef4 or higher, towns are gone off the map, which means the tornado had a sand blasting effect where it ripped and sucked up so much dirt because it was so powerful, you only see that with mostly ef5s. Sometimes ef4 but after what I’ve seen tonight, I’m convinced there was a 5 and I will be in utter shock if it’s not.
Preliminary rating of high-end ef4 and that was with barely any surveying done with a crap-ton more to go. Very high chance this might get an EF5 rating. An instant high-end ef4 rating with a quick glance is a sign of a VERY severe twister.
@@dannyllerenatv8635 that is absolutely insane, thank you for all you do, a lot of people truly don’t understand how important having storm chasers really are if we didn’t have men like you , death tolls would climb immensely and no one would ever know where they are.
@@dannyllerenatv8635 Unfortunately it got an EF-4 rating. Apparently with the new scale, a town destroyed means nothing unless it is virtually cleared of all debris. That is so wrong.
@@TheRivrPrncess You never know, it might stand that way, but a lot of twisters that got preliminary ratings of EF4 got bumped up to EF5. Mayfield was initially EF3, as was Phil-Campbell Hackleburg.
Definitely an EF4, possibly even an EF5. Just a nightmare
You are way too good at catching nighttime wedges
There's something about a GIANT tornado barreling down a city in the darkness only to be lit by lightning that is one of the most terrifying things on earth imo.
Edit: According to reports, over 26 people were killed in this tornado. Dang.
I know of three times that's happened: Greensburg, Kansas, 2007.
Mayfield, Kentucky, 2021.
Rolling Fork, Mississippi, 2023.
Potentially the first tornado and UFO video in existence.
Max, what type of vehicle do you travel in during these storms?
I counted 3 lights in the funnel at one time, are these cars being lifted and thrown? I wouldn’t think headlights would be strong enough to see with so much debris and condensation in the funnel. With that said, what else would it be? Crazy.
That is literally terrifying
Prayers.. lots of damage w this tornado..
If there are Bradley APCs for sale from military surplus, those would make AWESOME heavy duty chasing vehicles. Replace the 25mm cannon with a bank of the most highest resolution cameras and instruments inside that rotating and armored turret, you can punch the cores of large tornadoes with it and take footage from the inside or around the base. The APC can even be modified to be remotely driven, for additional safety.
Omg that's terrifying 😱
We were there on Hwy61 watching her grow & hit RF. Went straight there to start SAR. Complete devastation.
Wow ! 😮
if you pay close attention to the right side of the tornado, you can see a rolling vortex at 1:10
that vertical motion is beyond reality
Canadian tx 2019 and Tuscaloosa 2011 are the big ones that come to mind when I see that billowing vortex. I don’t know about them much but you only ever see them on the strongest tornadoes.
El Reno 2011 had a good one
Storm chasers are some of the most brave people on the planet. It’s scary watching this on RUclips, let alone up close. 😢
I think those lights might originate from a power relay station. One area stays illuminated in a fixed location on the ground to the right of the antenna tower. Could be burning debris or backup power lights? Thoughts to all those affected by this storm and thank you to all the storm chasers who aided in rescues, video and early warning confirmation. Great video Max!
In another chaser's video its clearly moving in an arc motion from lower left near the ground, rising up as it spins around to the right, around the tornado.
Damn. I saw the radar signature and it looked nasty
Oh boy 😰
That first shot of that tornado caused me to think you shortly were going to be Max Olson the Chased.
I will pray for those affected by the Missippi.tornado .
Oh man. That was a horrific tornado
Scary
My prayers are with the people that were in that car 😞
Whew! That was....
0:03 you can see it be a stove pipe then expand rapidly to a wedge within seconds
Was that a car being hurled around the Tornado towards the end?
Those are car headlights. At any given moment during a mile-wide F-4 and above tornado like this, there will be multiple vehicles caught in it and flung airborne. The chasers who documented the Moore twister captured entire fully loaded tractor trailers airborne. There were 26 fatalities from this latest one. Some would have been the unfortunate occupants of these cars. Heart goes out to all affected.
Guys I am in Arkansas it hit us first then it crossed yall it maybe was our 2nd EF4
Wow
Oh my god 1:40 is so eerie, you can tell it's a car because if you zoom in, you can see individual headlights and as it's vaulting around the air the red rear lights are somewhat visible. The driver likely had his brights on which is why it's so clear and the rear lights tend to not be as bright. how horrifying...no one deserves to go out like this.
