- On May 21st, 2024 I had a close encounter with a tornado that would go on to devastate the town of Greenfield Iowa. I made a miscalculation when the storm I was chasing cycled closer to me, I'm lucky to be alive.
NOT FOR BROADCAST

This video was captured just a few minutes before the tornado devastated much of Greenfield, Iowa. I was completely unaware the storm had cycled much closer to me due to some issues with my radar and my electronic maps not working/ being delayed. I only noticed it when the tornado came out of the rain and moved out of my blind spot and within sight of my rear view mirror. It was an unfortunate set of circumstances amplified by a stupid overly aggressive chase style. Definitely going to be backing off a little bit more going forward with fast moving storms such as this one. My deepest condolences go out to those that were impacted by these tornadoes.
That's why Reed said you have to give space to these fast moving setups cause you are just gonna be racing against these tornadoes. Both Carbon and Greenfield tornadoes were scary fast.
The corning one was a zippy devil.. gal got a Mike Bettis in the field roller job done , sadly losing her life in the beautiful rolling hills of Adam's County , in what was a peaceful pasture.. "will always think about you" . R.I.P.
@@douglashurd8652 What was her name? That is horrible news!
@@derekbaker3279 you'd have to Google des Moines register news 📰 , last name started with "z" , was near my grandparents farm , and as a chaser mostly winter interstate stuff , it truly hit me for sure. Don't know if we'll ever learn anything from footage but she went out with some remarkable fearless Valor as it seems . Just so crazy .
@@derekbaker3279 saw it in des Moines register news post , was close to my grandparents farm , I'm a chaser so the picture of the car was straight up demolition.. don't know if it was intentional for ultimate footage or she just got speed verses speed trapped out and rolled
Driving on the wrong side of a highway with a mega tornado chasing you. Dangerous stuff, man. I live in Iowa, and love having the chasers around, but was nearly run off the road myself by one paying more attention to radars than the road. Be safe
Hey man there’s a tornado behind you
Truly terrifying dude, I’m a little shaken up by it.
Trx your content is superior
"CAUTION: Tornadoes are much closer than they appear in this mirror". 😉😁😉
Such a good chaser he had no idea an EF4 was hot on his heals 🤦♂️. Also swerving all over the road while look at the sky, camera, phone, and computer is why I don't chase anymore. I'm surprised we don't have chasers get killed every outbreak
You are freaking me out Celton!
I'm glad you are safe,that was a close one.
I was relieved when your chaser dot kept going East! 😬
Dude. It was way too close. I looked in my rear view mirror and saw death staring back at me.
W dot! Lol
That was a nasty outbreak for adams County, 1975 we lost the historic barn cir. 1890 , on historical register, nothing is given when these conditions come together in iowa .
My condolences for peoplenlost love one Faith that 🙏 that keeps Famlies going by Grace of God ❤❤❤❤❤😢
Not seeing a rain-wrapped tornado is one thing but holy SMOKES dude, what is going on with this driving?? You were in the opposite lane more than your own. Do better my friend, there are lots of us out there on the road with you!
Part of it was intentional in an effort to avoid hydroplaning, and combat the extremely fast winds coming from the northeast that were trying to blow me off the road. I knew there were no other cars around (and was checking every few seconds), otherwise I wouldn't have been doing that/ I don't normally drive like this while chasing. I was looking in my rear view mirror and turning my head to look behind me, hence the swerving. Not really a good excuse but its what was going on. I'm currently working on a full video about this chase where a lot of what happens during this clip will make a lot more sense.
That's crazy... It's like it was trying to creep up on you...amazing video Celton... Did you not have a monitor for live viewing that rear camera? I guess the lesson is keep your head on a swivel right? Bottom line is you guys are okay and you've lived to fight another day.. well done!
No I can’t view that rear dash until I pull it up on my laptop later, the tornado was also right in my cars blind spot when it came out if the rain so I couldn’t tell what it even was until it passed in sight of my rear view mirror. Truly terrifying.
Didn’t this same tornado have winds speeds of 250 mph wind speeds recorded by the Dow
I think this was it. That's an EF-5 by my book and even the car damage IMO confirms this.
@@angrydragon4574 yeah the same tornado bent well anchored bolts and slabed houses The national weather service has done this twice in 2024. They’re probably were two tornadoes with 200 mph plus winds even with some damage indicators of EF five but yet it didn’t get rated it. That’s why I think there needs to be an upgrade to the EF scale itself
Now THAT is what being chased by a tornado looks like!
Tornadoes make for very poor "Hide-and-seek" friends.
Here at 30 views this vid gonna blow up
Wow! Omg ! I would have freaked out for sure.
1:54 - 1:59 So that wind turbine which got engulfed in survived ???
I know its not a busy road but why are you driving in both lanes?
Trying to avoid hydroplaning
Because there's a whole road there
Was wondering the same thing
Hey man, why is it so hard to stay in one lane? If you're distracted, you shouldnt be driving.
You live in video game land or what? Ever heard of or felt strong winds surrounding a tornado? Get a load of this guy. 😆
@@jonasvalero I've been around very strong winds, and at worst they nudge a tire into the other lane. Dude camped out on the wrong side of the road for multiple seconds. This wasn't wind pushing him into the opposite lane.
Jacob. You don't know that for sure. The roads were also with wet well.
And if I'm trying to get away from something like that tornado coming up on my butt I'm not going to give a damn how I drive.
I was in one about 6 years ago up in Nebraska Jacob and I was about 500 yards back of a semi when a little tornado came across the highway and took that sucker over like it was a toy.
So if you ever run into anything that's was estimated at about 200 mph Plus without throwing winds like you would not believe please let us know how well you drive..
If you survive.
@@navblue20 again, he's not hydroplaning into the other lane, he sits there for like 10 seconds for absolutely no reason.
And by the way, I literally have a video on my channel of me escaping a potentially violent tornado in Iowa, and the worst thing I do I barely get on the rumble strips of the shoulder, which I immediately correct. So there is actual evidence of me betting a better driver in these conditions than him.
Also why are people defending this behavior? Dude is driving bad and should be called out for it so he can do better next time.
@@navblue20you say all this but dude isn’t driving like he’s freaked out and just trying to escape. He’s just in one lane for like ten seconds and calmly goes back to the other. I’ve seen several other chasers who have videos of this same storm driving toward it or nearer to it who weren’t all over the road like this guy is
Who’s chasing who?!
I'm just guessing but i'm thinking the driver had both eyes on the rear view..
Was a F2
