    This chase video documents our viewpoint arriving on the Pilger, Nebraska EF4 twin tornadoes that occurred on June 16, 2014. We witnessed the life cycle of the twin EF-4's and then the complete life cycle of a rope tornado and a wedge tornado that would become the Wakefield, NE EF-4.

    it's cool how the sequence at 24:30 was worked on by multiple spotters to determine an estimated speed of the tornado. The small one was flung around the larger one at roughly 90mph

    What's crazy is that satellite tornado at 24:20 ended up being estimated that it was moving around that other tornado around 90 mph. That's an incredible speed for a tornado.

      Yeah, that's what I'm learning. The speed, they can move with. Makes spotters, life savers ! We need y'all for the fast movers, for at least a 10 minute, advance warning, and to get out to weather radio everywhere ! 10 mins to grab ur fam, pet, and seek shelter. Infrastructure, in the US of A, should include, underground storm shelters, for the outbreaks. Money from FEMA ! Regulated. We should be able to do this. Everlasting love and thanks, to "spotters" !

      @@justaguy3392 +Just a Guy: Brother, my chase partner and I were on every one of these tornadoes since even prior to their inception....when we filmed the incredible rotation as we sat off Hwy 81 just north of Madison, Neb. I have footage of us driving up a hill into Stanton from the south, and me pointing out the "rope" tornado that was just north of Stanton....and we watched the formations of BOTH tornadoes #1 and #2 go on to decimate Pilger from that hilltop in Stanton. I firmly believe that the "90 mph" rope was it's OWN ENTITY....and was likely birthed in the very black darkness of all the rotation that was north and quite west of Stanton prior to the big tornadoes. I have that on vid as well. Like I say...I've got that rope on vid....I think it's on RUclips as we speak. My cousin puts our footages up in here...I don't. I also firmly believe there were MANY MORE TORNADOES than the ridiculous (4) that the NWS Omaha assigned to the event.

    So... why in hell would you drive INTO a rain-wrapped wedge formation with high probability for satellite tornadoes (considering by this timeline in this particular storm, it had already had multiple satellite tornadoes)? You could have been seriously injured being in the Rear-Flanking Downdraft and ultimately ended up in the Rear-Inflow Jet of that EF-4. I'm glad you weren't hurt.
    I'd go to Skip Talbot's channel and learn a few things about safety regarding storm chasing and tornado spotting:
    ruclips.net/user/SkipTalbotvideos
    The footage you got was pretty good, but I'm not sure its worth the risk of personal injury and/or fatalities to get footage of any tornado.
