- Massive #tornado with multiple vortices rips down windmills and damages homes in Iowa including Greenfield, Iowa. Dominator FPV drone orbited the tornado racing northeast at 55 mph. Dominator 3 could have directly intercepted this tornado. Major tornado outbreak underway
I think the vortices had vortices. That thing was nuts.
That's what I was thinking too. Like how many vortices are in this one storm??? It's gotta be a new record...
Wind Rowing!
It had Nuts?
Absolutely amazing!
A multi vortex tornado, this was the type of tornado that generated the photo "The dead man walking",If you see this it is actually a sign of extreme danger as this normally only forms in F4 or F5 tornadoes
If you've never seen a wind turbine before, they're enormous. This monster tore through them like they were trees. This is some of the best tornado footage in history. Well done.
I've seen one of those blades on the back of a semi flatbed in Eastern Washington. They are unbelievably massive.
I'm surprised that those turbines didn't move a little faster with a tornado coming at it.
I'm in western IL and there's farms everywhere throughout West-Central and Central Illinois. They store the blades and the tower sections on the grounds of an old factory that's since been leveled. The blades barely fit on flatbeds and they have to close off the when they move anything. Tower sections are also massive, as are the turbine hubs. I hope seeing the way a middle of the road tornado absolutely shredding that wind turbine blade and collapsing the structure gives people an appreciation for the awesome power of a tornado.
@@LethalSaliva they lock the blades up when winds get too high to keep them from being damaged.
@@wyrdo1501 that makes sense
Tornados could never do that to hydroelectric damns! Good job!
That has to be the most photogenic multi-vortex tornado I’ve ever seen video of! Absolutely dominating, Reed!
Whoa!!! I've never seen one like this!!!
It might be the one that hit Greenfield, IA. DOW measured windspeeds of 210 MPH and it flattened a hospital. I'd say it's not an EF 2 or 3.@HelpingBaconsYT
its the same one that hit Greenfield. Sadly the damage looks significant
Your comment is dumber. Lol.@SRockwell
@@SRockwellI think they were just curious not giving an official rating chill out
Impressive how calm, collected and soft-spoken everyone was during this encounter.
Reed's just like this all the time
@@warriyorcat that must make him the life of the party!
Yea, these people should not do this hobby.
Смешно.
Ukrainian or virtue signaler?
My husband asks... "is he yelling because he's scared? I replied "I don't know, he's always yelling". 🤣🤣
🤣😂
Probably yelling to be heard over the roar of the tornado.
Adrenaline.
That never happend.
Excitement 😂
I can say, with confidence, this footage will be looked back on forever. This is UNREAL footage. Thank you for your dedication, Reed!
It's the most incredible thing I have ever seen.
Agreed!
If he would stop screaming into the mic like at 0:59 it would be a lot better
And your excitement!
🎯 💯 🤯 🙀 👐 🌪 🌀
They're called "Whirlwinds" in the Bible.
"UNROLL THE WINDOW!" "WINDMILL DOWN!" I just picture this guy yelling, everywhere, all the time. "I'M TAKING THE ELEVATOR!" "HIT THE BUTTON!" "I'VE GOT YAHTZEE!"
Hilarious 😂

i live in Corning Iowa and was stuck on Highway 34 headed back to town from Creston when this tornado hit. We got caught right in the middle of it. Was the scariest thing ive done in my life. Thank you for being here and giving us the proper info necessary to keep safe. My wife watched your stream the entire time to ensure her and our kids were safe. I cant say enough good things about your team and the others who responded so quickly to this disaster of a storm.
Wow
U got extremely lucky man, this monster was one of the strongest on record. Glad ur okay
Saw this live….I am speechless. No Hollywood movie will ever top this, Reed. You are a legend!!!!
When was this
I was 5 miles north of greenfield
It really is a monster
@@Buurry
Wow, I was in Fairborn !!!😳
@@erikgilreath3305 that’s crazy this was so scary for me
I have to say.. I'm over 50 yrs young and have never seen a tornado with so many vortices as this one had. It's actually breathtakingly beautiful. Awesome video Reed, thank you for all you do.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX
really???????
Perfect description of this tornado.... it is indeed breathtakingly beautiful but also dangerously destructive at the same time!
Indeed. That tornado produced more spinoffs than "Law & Order" and "NCIS" combined.
Horrifyingly beautiful was my take off the video. WOW
Yes a wicked beautiful force of nature.
Reed yelling to stay in the car while driving 100mph 😅😂
It's science homies.
He's not cussing though. I could listen to Reed scream all day. It's the potty mouth no one wants to hear
The steve earwin of meteorology. loud and obnoxious
'Over the top' is def. his approach
the audio wasn't properly overlaid
Came across this randomly & I'm no expert on tornado footage but this is the most powerful capture of the energy in tornados . . . that I have ever seen. Get rid of all the radio yakking and just capture wind noises. Tornado noises. Really nice.
This is the craziest multi-vortex tornado I have ever seen, there were at least a dozen subvortices rotating around the main circulation. And the wind turbine destruction, what an incredible video! You were in the right place at the right time to capture that, GOAT!
Damn right! This was the best chase footage I've ever seen. Clean, crisp, ANGRY.
In-sane! ❤
And those turbines aren't light they're thick steel and the twister bent it up like a toothpick
Totally looked like paper staws being blown over!
incredible never seen anything like it before!
This may genuinely be some of the most clear and terrifying video of a large multi vortex tornado I’ve ever seen. Definitely top 3
I was just thinking the same thing.
It was incredible, but I'm sure glad to be thousands of miles away from it! On a different note, I wish Reed had been in Dominator 3 so they may have tried an intercept.
I've seen probably all the multi vortex videos and nothing compares to this. This is out of this world. Might be a first how many spawned in that.
@visiontv68 from my very limited knowledge the construction is already relatively strict. My question is how could you get something that tall (with not that much area and only one point of contact) to withstand such an event.
@visiontv68 No. If they make it more expensive to build then it wouldn't out weigh the benefit it provides. There all insured and it will get rebuilt.
Keep the citizens of Greenfield Iowa in your prayers. The town took a direct hit
😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏
The Y'allSquad will be in town to offer assistance
People get so caught up in the chase or the videos they forget that people are in danger, lost homes or hurt. prayers
@@cmarie5355 Help is on the way
@@cmarie5355 if they didn't chase there'd be no documentation of the storm....
ive never seen such better high quality live footage of a tornado!
I don't recall any tornadic videos of this many vortices circling around and inside one large tornado. WoW!!! Incredible video!!
I'm guessing polarized filter on camera.
Was great until the one guy started screaming like a little girl. Everyone else was relatively calm.
and think how GREAT this video could have been without then yelling and screaming. Just a video with the sounds of nature.
solar max this yr plus man be VLF accelerating and precipitaing electrons in from outside the magnetosphere so everythings getting charged up. Stay vigilent.
@@davidtiessen7713 Gee, how does that cause tornadoes?
Mr. Fujita would revel to see what he assured and doubters denied. A core storm with multiple mini vortex spiraling around perimeter. Great video.
He was ahead of his time.
Holy cow. Congratulations on that absolutely incredible footage. The gigantic cylinder covered in individual, clearly defined and visible vortices swirling around it - what an unbelievable sight. That had to be completely mind-boggling.
(Epoch) (Epic )footage!
and that is just what you can see from the outside the sub Vs were all through it.
Those vortices were nuts. Looked like the tornado was striped there was so many around it
Yeah, when I saw it hit those windmills I was like
OMG! I hope the tornado is ok!
Congratulations on the best tornado footage ever recorded.
I’m picturing this guy yelling in normal every day scenarios.
“HONEY WHATS FOR BREAKFAST!!!”
“PANCAKES!?!? WE GOT PANCAKES KIDS GET DOWN HERE!!!!”
🤣🤣🤣👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol..😂😂😂😂
Oh man, you win the internet for the day with that one...
I can hear that in my brain...
Hilarious!! 🤣
Probably the most insane tornado footage I've ever seen. A tornado of tornados and the bonus of watching the windmill explode from the forces. Utterly insane footage.
Windmill?
A clusterfu¢)< of tornadoes
@@I_Am_Your_Problem Turbine?
The footage is not insane.
@visiontv68 have a word with yourself 🤡
I've been fascinated by tornadoes and saw SO many videos of them over 40 years.. This is sincerely the most incredible one. The multiple vortices, the wind turbines crushed like toothpicks.. It baffles and humbles the mind. You saw a god marching.
Well put
This is up there for sure. One that always terrified me was the first person view of the tornado taking out a house and the noise.😊😊
I've never seen anything like this either. Amazing!
Those blades are pretty durable too. They're disposed of whole because of it. Rows of them get buried under dirt and they're considered not biodegradable.
@@readtherealanthonyfaucibyr6444 so much for being good for the environment.
Translation: 🙂
Unroll it = roll window down
Windmill = Wind turbine
(And windfarm)
Translate roll down window to modern language= press the button in downward motion in the bottom lower position, to lower window to the OPEN mode. Rolling window winder arm is no longer a thing, but played an important role in historical American societies attempts to either catch a breeze, or to better view and hear a tornado, but it's more obsolete with the modern invention of "the toggle switch, aka "the button." I hope this helps. 😉
@@time2see192are you real?
That tornado destroyed my town… it somehow missed my house but that is such a devastating tornado. I’m just so glad our community got together to clean up the aftermath. Many lives were lost 💔

I am so sorry for you and your community.
The swirling cyclones at 1:08 is incredible footage. And the force of those winds twisted the steel of that windmill like paper
They’re mostly composite. Not steel
The blades are basically fiberglass.
5:19 rool the window down!
Yep, I noticed the blades just shredded into what looked like strands of damp toilet paper blowing in the wind. 4:45
Pretty sure those are subvortices with subvortices.
Starting at 1:10 with the multiple vortices, it’s like you can imagine this being 10 separate tornados just packed closely together and dancing around one another. Absolutely insane footage.
They've been working on it for a long time.
YES!! It was like if a dozen tornados spun around to make one giant tornado monster!
It's not a mutli-vortex tornado. The parent vortex' wind pattern meets slower, more humid air on the exterior. His camera angle is aided by approaching from NNE (sunlight side)
Why scream like a little 12yo girl though?
This "footage" MIRRORS the trailer for the new Twister movie, that was released 13 days before he shot this, ...PERFECTLY! Including the silos, windmills AND multiple vortices!Probably just a coincidence though, right? Go back to sleep America.
Why does Reed Timmer always sound like this is the first time he's seen a tornado? He really needs to switch to a decaffeinated version of whatever it is he drinks before he goes out chasing.
He's his own hype man. It sells, so he does it.
@@danieparriott265 I don't think he's even trying to sell anything by yelling, dude is just so genuinely hype about weather that he can't contain it lol he really is just as excited every time
Да, он каждый раз видит это впервые. Потому что каждое природное явление не бывает одинаковым. Даже падающий лист кружит по своей траектории, что уж говорить о таких явлениях, как Торнадо! Я его понимаю - это всегда волнительно.
He always acts brand new
That was a tornado inside of tornados..I'm speechless. The rage of that monster. It obliterated those windmills insane.
Windmills…the new trailer parks to tornadoes 🌪️.
Haha Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder - It was a tornado playing a tornado disguised as a tornado😅😂🤦😅
It is not insane.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned how those windmills are useless for "sustainable" energy. This video is living proof of how weakly designed they are. Thing is literally aluminum which might as well be metallic paper.
@@johndoe-sx5pv The ones that I have been at are a fiberglass resin composite. Just think, the amount of energy to build the original and new one will pollute more than those could possibly save from polluting.
The vortices look like people walking in circles around the outer edge. Dead Men Walking. Absolutely incredible video!
Great analogy for tornadoes!
Reminded me of a giant Dyson vacuum cleaner.
The "Dead man walking"......
... storm angels
The dead men walking deal is scary, it looked insanely powerful just like the wedge that formed that hit Iowa a few weeks ago too
It was so uniquely bizarre that it looked like something you'd only see in a movie. This is incredible footage.
Yeah it's CGI that's why......
Just joking 🤣🤣🤣🤣Reed does an incredible job tracking filming and getting data from tornados
Hi, Oh ho - there's much more to come yet that is - way beyond bizarre - and surpasses even the Most imaginative Sci - Fi Movie Genre. 🙃
@@norfolkngood8960 Are they collecting data for science purposes? It would be nice, if they did and not just wanted to film those bizzare tornados for our curiosity.
@@elale8016 Do you even know Reed is? He literally dedicated his life on researching tornadoes and he has PhD in the field. Also this video is basically important as you can see subvortices on the tornado which is not common at all, which it helps to understand tornadoes more.
@@MonLyica No, I didn't know, thank you!!! It appeared to me, as if they were somewhat professionally hunting a tornado out of obsession, adrenaline rush and media footage to sell, but now I understand, why they were taking risks.
I hope their car is very sturdy and can withstand debris hitting it, since it looked dangerously close and it occurs, that researchers don't get as good equipment as they would require.
As I think about it, I realize, if he has a PhD, he must be having the best, refreshed forecast data that there is and that's hopefully reachable in those moments, can analyze their collected data with his experienced knowledge on the go, hopefully allowing them to make better predictions were it could be safe for them on the road and where and when they could stop to collect more data.
But I was wondering, why they had no better camera then to catch the footage, as it would be important, I guess. I hoped, the better cameras would be mounted on top of the vehicle, but the rain might be a problem there.
But why were they so often yelling to close the window? Because of the danger of debris? Because of the rain? And why had they no headsets (maybe integrated in helmets, so the microphones could do better jobs at filtering the wind sounds), in order to not needing to constantly yell at each other. They must have sore voices, when they get home.
I'm glad, that they're doing such an important job.
I do not know what made my stomach ache more , the raw tornado footage or your spasmodic reaction while filming natures fury.
It helps to use the mute button when watching storm chaser videos. Otherwise it sounds like a bunch of high schoolers drinking beer for the first time.

@jeffreyg607, also from central Illinois. Saw a lot of tornado damage. Now outside Denver, I don't miss this kind of weather
I've seen a lot of intense and violent tornado footage, but I don't think I've EVER seen a multivortex tornado with multivortex suction vortexes. Amazing footage!
Wow! That is a SERIOUS multivortex monster!! Terrifying, but also extraordinarily beautiful footage of a large tornado. Because of the lighting, video quality, perspective, and time of day, we can really see the structure of tornado, and how its internal movement works. Really impressive stuff.
Absolutely agree👍🏼
It takes a special kind of crazy to film these videos and chase these storms. I’m the one in the basement, with my prayers lifting up those in the path of these monsters. Thank you for all you do because this would terrify the crap out of me.
Same here
Same. They did sound crazy.

should there be a law that when AI chatbots post comments pretending to be humans, that their parent company has to pay a million dollar fine per comment? yes, i think so too.
That was totally insane. All those vortices around the main circulation blew my mind. Awesome intercept!!
It is not insane.
@@bobbrenna9507 insane in a cool way

This thing had like 8 plus sub vortices 300 plus mph yet its rated a ef4
Never seen multi vortex footage of this quality and caliber before. AMAZING capture.
I've never experienced a tornado before, but man, watching this is equal parts horrifying and awe. It's literally a monster of your nightmares. I have big respect for those of you who live in these tornado prone areas. It's like playing tag with God's pinky toe.
Yall be safe out there! ❤
Thank you for documenting this amazing footage.
The size of a tornado is unimaginable until you’ve seen it in person.
Those multiple vortices are insane but somewhat beautiful
absolutely beautiful, but sooo destructive
Never seen so many visible sub vortices in my life
Are those the ridge looking things within the outer tornado?
Looked like a Wolverine digging 🤯
Somewhat?
Without doubt the best video I’ve ever seen of a tornado. Insane.

Yeah, but Reed got his footage so it's all good.
I hope they have alternate means of powering their electric grid...🤔
That's what annoys me about storm chasers. I live in Kansas and sometimes its like they are ecstatic when one touches down and its like bro people's live are in the balance
Simply terrifyingly incredible, a monster tornado with insane vortices. Incredible video, you managed to capture incredible images. Congratulations straight from 🇧🇷
Oh my gosh the multiple vortices! I've never seen them so clearly defined
Or vortices.
This is going to be absolutely phenomenal footage for tornado researchers/modelers to test against their models for large, violent, long track tornados. They've been modeling the el reno tornado for over a decade and those modern models all have sub vortices that looks VERY similar to what this demonstrated in real life, but could not really be seen in detail in the el reno (or practically all tornados).
Sunlit Multivortext Tornado...Definitely one of the most hauntingly beautiful forces of nature ever to be witnessed.
Incredible footage! 🌪
Nature was like ,"Gimme my wind power back!"
Nature was made by god
@@ShawnBowyer-nz4vj You funny.... lol
i've never seen footage of that many seperate vorticies spinning around the core.thats CERTAIN destruction.
Check out Mike Bettes El Reno footage, where the Weather Channel team got hit.
I've never seen vorticies dancing around a tornado like that before either. Truly spectacular footage!!!
Guys, you’re hypering each other into a frenzy. Stay calm, stay safe, and keep filming. Good luck.
Yep, unprofessional.
It's just the way he is. Watch some of his other chase videos. I guess that's how he deals with the stress and adrenaline dump.
He should take some Xanax
You must be new here lol
Wouldn’t you be scared if you were in front of a huge quarter mile wide 300 mph winds tornado?
Impressive catch, I'm from Oklahoma and can say this is some of the clearest footage I've ever seen
This Oklahoman agrees.
Those windmills are huge
Just one of the blades is much longer than a semi truck!
That is not just the dead man walking there are several dancing
Incredible
I knew someone who eneineers those and the main pylon is designed to take 450MPH and the blades are designed to shear at 220MPH. The forces from that were absolutely insane.😮
Each blade is 64 meters long. I believe SGRE 129s just by looking at it with the cooler on top near the back half. Could be wrong but they are big blades.
The blades are polymers and dumped into their own graveyards. You'd think they'd be recyclable but they are not.
Reminds me of the hail storms taking out thousands of uninsured home panels on roofs.
@@billyroye3987 times have changed on recycling and how they’re built. Very interesting reading if you’re even interested.
@ThatGirl-ku5dq I drive through west Texas and see thousands of blades just cut up and exposed to the environment. It turns out the blades nor any other part last that long on these things polluting the sky.
They are like car batteries on EVs. It is proven the carbon footprint for EV batteries is so large it can never be overcome no matter how long one drives an EV. And then those $40,000 EV batteries have to be replaced after just a few years.
I have to say that this is going to go down as one of the most incredible tornado videos ever recorded and the most photogenic multi Vortex tornado ever seen
except for all the yelling
*Windmill:* "All right! Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! Wait... too much! Too much!!!"
Reed, I can only imagine what younger Reed would think if he knew he'd be doing this today. I remember so many years ago you doing research to try to figure out what and why tornados even were. You are the GOAT and I salute you good sir.
They're called "Whirlwinds" in the Bible.
So? What does the term used by scientifically unaware Israelites have to do with this? Tornadoes are not whirlwinds, and your comment has nothing to do with anything. Lots of people don't believe in the Bible either, so I'm confused as to why you assume everyone would know the contents of the Bible.
This is crazy good footage. Seeing the multiple vortices inside of it is just stunning. Thats crazy how it just bent those wind turbines.
Those things are huge too if you never been up close to one they can range anywhere from 100 to 300 feet tall and can handle well over 100mph winds. To fall like they did shows how big and strong this tornado was very cool to see on video.
@@midwestmike613 Turbines that surround me in SW MO are 605 ft and the ones planned just a few miles further are 768. Straight wind is different from a tornado though, remember that. Ours have taken 100 mph straight wind but several months ago one collapsed all on it's own, long before we had any storms. They have some seriously bad engineering among other things.
Yea but who could tolerate that guy continually screaming like a girl? JFC grow a pair.
If you think this is good then you need to see the drone footage he did of it.
Watched the chase live, certainly didn't expect to see this.
Jawdropping video of a VERY multi-vortex tornado - can't say how many vortices were there - analysis may show, what, nearly a dozen as it is easy to spot 7.
This footage goes far beyond "wow, tornado" - there is significant science in this footage, and I'm certain Reed is stoked. Congratulations to the team for this likely unprecedented footage.
this has more vorticies (that i know of) of the el reno of 2013, ofc vorticies do not equal strength but it definitely shows that this is possibly one of the most important tornadoes in history due to this footage alone- the fact it was semi-photogenic and had several vorticies means meteorologists could use this footage to learn more about how multi vortex tornadoes work.
@@The_Joshuan_Empire I speculate that most tornadoes are actually composed of smaller vortices internal to the outer condensation & debris cloud of the main rotating funnel. Sometimes this is seen in tornadoes where the large external condensation/debris cloud thins out enough to see into and partially through the tornado.
This tornado also seemed to have vortices on the outside of the main large & opaque rotating funnel. This does make some sense as the air next to the main funnel rotates in an opposite direction like a high pressure next to a low pressure, except this is on a much smaller scale, and because the rotation is so compact & wind is so fast, it gets broken into many adjacent regions of smaller vortices to compensate for the rotation of the main funnel vortice.
Unbelievable footage of a Tornado just amazing to see all the Raw Power of mother nature.
Bless all the people being victims of these extreme weather conditions. 🙏
Can't even imagine.
@@DaveS71 This tornado was moving at 70-80 mph, which is the even more insane part. It arrived and left the town of Greenfield in ruins in under 3 seconds.
OMG! I have seen a lot of your chases, and a lot of the tornados that you have filmed over the years, but that, by far, is one of the most insane tornados that I have ever seen. It took those windmills down like they were toys. Who needs the movie "Twister"!!??? This is the real thing! Peace to all those effected by this horrible storm.
The tornado is not insane.
@@bobbrenna9507 Seems everyone but you thinks it is.
Prayers to Greenfield!!! Thank you for documenting this!
That is some of the best tornado footage I've ever seen. Well done!
because windmills are designed to survive max speed of 150mph, means that this torando was easiely a EF4 or higher. The fotages are crazy to watch good job Reed much respect for you and your team keep it up !!
They said it was over 200 mph
This would be first EF5 since almost a decate no ?
They will rate it an EF-4, but that's on the EF-5 range of the chart. I saw it had possible between 250 mph and 290 mph winds at 144 ft up, according to a Doppler that was nearby and tracking it.
I’ve read some can survive 89 to 134 to 160 and even up to 180. Depends on the mills that we’re hit and I don’t know how much they can handle. So tough to say.
Most turbines have a rated survival limit of 35-45 m/s (~75-100mph).
That tornado looked like something from a sci-fi channel but better, praying for no fatalities. Thank you Reed for going the distance! ❤
Multiple fatalities 💔
I believe as of today, the death toll is up to 9 across Iowa...
I wonder what kinda death those are. They got sucked into the tornado?
@@kamtarbol I don't know details for this specific case, but usually, tornado deaths are from debris and homes/buildings falling in.

@@kidwave1 You are kidding me.
I just checked the trailer out and you are 100% CORRECT !
Growing up in the Midwest I’ve never seen a tornado like that! Remarkable!!! Thanks for being out there!
as somebody from kansas. In my 30's. Its weird to me that midwesterners try to pass this off like some sort of weird badge. The VAAAAAAST majority of us have never laid physical eyes on a tornado. Not in real life. And definetly not to the point where we can talk like weve seen it with enough frequency to tell people whats unique or rare. Even if youre the extremely rare person whos seen a few tornados in their life. You dont know jack about what youve seen and not seen. Lets get real.
Yikes! Little ASSumption-making jordie's having another bad day.
I do not believe anyone has ever seen anything quite like this tornado. I have watched thousands of hours of videos on the most violent tornados in history, and no tornado has ever presented itself quite like this.
It's called a "dead man walking" due to the vortices. The native Americans say if you see this people will die and they did, in Greenfield Ia.
@@terrybritton1258 I’m aware of the dead man walking. This doesn’t really take the form in my opinion - at least not nearly as well as the Jarrell, Texas tornado in 1997.
This is definitely without a doubt one of the coolest tornado videos I’ve seen in years, this was amazing!!!
That's some badass footage.
That’s the greatest multi vortex video I’ve ever seen. The vortexes have vortexes!
THAT has got to be the most incredible video! When they were so close and you could see the multiple vortices going around the central vortex. The shredding the windmills was awesome, and terrifying at the same time. But the multiple vortices was the highlight for me.
Those are not windmills. Those are wind turbines. Windmills were used for milling grain or milling up water.
Whatever, everyone calls them windmills. Now they are landfill... not very renewable energy.
I do not call them windmills nor does the other guy, that makes 2 of us.
I think windmills in Holland were often used to pump water out from land that was behind dikes.
Legend has it, when he drops his kids off at school, they don't make it into school, he keeps yelling, GET IN THE CAR!
Wow amazing. I am sitting in my chair thousands of miles away shaking at the intensity. This footage is incredible. I pray no lives lost.
ISP has confirmed fatalities
Multiple fatalities
Congratulations, Reed and crew on getting some of the best videos of that amazing tornado. You're hard work and talent has paid off again.
This is the best tornado video I've ever seen! I literally felt like I was there looking at that monster tornado. It's just scary how powerful the winds are to rip a wind turbine like it was only a toothpick.
Great video footage guys! 👍🏼😀
thi sis probably the craziest tornado I've seen . amazing footage . totally unreal
So many sub vortices, this is a history making tornado. What a catch Reed!
Why are the sun vortices important?
@@evanhughes1510 sun vortices 👍👍
@@evanhughes1510 Perhaps one with so many sub vortices has never been recorded. First time I have seen such a thing.
@@Mugicha808 ok but what’s the big deal about them?
@@evanhughes1510most tornadoes don’t usually produce what’s called sub vortices. Basically, they are smaller, more powerful rotations that orbit the main vortex, and when the impact structures they can cause very extreme damage. Most tornado footage that has been recorded in the past 20 years has probably never been this clear, and also simultaneously showed that many sub vortices on a tornado such as this one,
Reed, I understand the excitement. What I don't understand is why you and your team are the only chasers I've ever watched that scream and holler like y'all do. People can hate me for my comment but it's nerve wracking.
no hate, he needs to shut up.
I just mute it. It's really annoying.
exactly. it's like dude, do you even tornado? (I'd love to hear that sucker growl, but, thank goodness for mute buttons)
They watched too many ghost hunter shows....
He's ALWAYS been like this 😂😂 don't watch if your this bothered by it
It almost seems as if the vortices are being braided together.. it’s so terrifying, yet fascinating.
I sincerely hope those affected by these storms were able to get to safety. 🙏🏻❤️
This the best tornado video I’ve seen
Reed is The Goat when it comes to outrageous tornado footage!
Long may it continue!
Chasing nadoes and burritos...dude slays.
@@SRockwell taco taco!
he needs to STFU and just film. he can't even keep the cameras on the important stuff.
That is the most horrifically beautiful tornado i have ever seen. Great footage, guys, that was gorgeous!
The grayscale delineation highlighting the compact, swirling, multiple vortices will go down in legendary catch history. Stellar job!
*_TRUST !!_*
god yes i was thinking a similar thing- it feels somewhat macabre to say it's so beautiful when white/lighter-coloured debris is flying through the air in or around the tornado. the visual impact is stunning.
Wow! Thanks for capturing and posting these videos! Just awesome!
Prayers for Iowa and everyone affected by all the weather today. 💜🙏
What does that do exactly? I mean you god did this...
@@I_Am_Your_Problem Give it a rest.
That footage was absolutely insane. Glad you guys made it through unharmed.
I’m not. As they were laughing I was thinking how they would feel if that was their home town.
@@niki9638 I think your underestimating the amount of adrenaline these guys had pumping through their veins. I'm sure they would be the first to stop and help someone if they witnessed a home get hit. I've seen them call off a chase before to help people. It's a chase until its a S&R.
@@mtcoiner7994 and I think you’re giving them too much credit. LAUGHING WITH JOY watching a tornado destroy. I watched yes, and I cried, and I was in awe. But I was not pleased.
@@niki9638 This is America, your free to feel how you like, at least for now. I think you are probably one of those people who finds a reason to hate everything. What a miserable existence. That's my opinion and I'm allowed to have it.
@@mtcoiner7994 well, don’t give up your day job if this is your assessment.
This has to be some of the most insane tornado footage every recorded. Those vortex dancing around the outside are just jaw dropping beautiful and absolutely terrifying at the same time. Words just can't describe it!
The footage is not insane.
There was vortices inside of vortices on that bad boy. What a sight.
I watched this and was screaming 1-minute into it. These guys are fearless. Incredible video!
Having survived a multiple vortex tornado which killed dozens, I don’t recall being giddy. The video here was incredible. I just recall the people I knew who were never the same, the scars left behind and my brothers telling damage tourists to leave what was left of the neighborhood.
“Damage Tourists.” Otherwise known as ghouls.
Congrats Reed! You won the internet today! 🏆🙌
This has to be absolutely some the best and CRAZIEST footage I’ve ever seen….. those vortices…. IN-SANE!!
The power of the vortex
0:59 reed is the king of screaming when there’s absolutely no reason
You don't know how noisy it is out there. He's wanting to be heard by the people in his car with him. He needs to make sure they're hearing him ... And yet this would be beautiful but to music.
@@TakeTheRide he needs to make sure they're hearing him scream WOW! completely necessary.
No reason huh. Maybe no reason sitting on your couch watching this. This dudes within a mile or so
from one of the most violent things on earth. I'd be going off too
@@rdy434 I’ve been watching reed timmers content since like 2010 bro… he’ll scream at the cast and crew with the windows up or down out of nowhere. But I love him
Be safe all fellow Americans. ❤
I’m terrified of tornadoes yet fascinated by the sheer power of them. This was a spectacular video of this huge rotating tornado. Those windmills bowed to the tornado winds.
Awesome work, Reed. He's the best there is. Thank you.
