  • Drone flight shows the entire 165 mile path of the December 2021 tornado from start to finish completed over 3 days from more than 90 drone flights. Thanks to @BrianEmfingerWx for the outstanding help. Please give him a subscribe for more amazing weather content.
    We included radar loop for as long as we could but the data seems to be missing from public domain. Thanks for @radarscope for allowing us to use the radar images.
    We included cards at #Cayce #Mayfield #DawsonSprings #Princeton #CambridgeShore #Bremen and others to see more detailed and slower video of the #tornado path.
    If you haven't already done so, please check out the documentary also available on this channel. 165 Miles.
    Thank you all for watching and subscribing.

    Incredible Work, I can't even imagine the effort that went in to getting all the footage for this. The damage was just incredible everywhere it went.

    I chased storms for 20 years and one thing that you can definitely see in the destruction path of the tornado is that it was multiple vortex. You can see the smaller vortices circling the main rotation.

      Very evident in the ground scouring.. all tornados are made up of smaller vortices

    The main thing with this Tornado is the Cycloidal marks on the ground. Seen in the historic Tornadoes such as the Rochelle Fairdale Tornado, Washington Illinois Tornado and many others. Fact is that Ted Fujita observed the Cycloidal markings in the 1965 palm Sunday Outbreak. He had the theory of Tornadoes containing sub vortices like horses in a carosel and was proven in the 1974 super Outbreak. Cycloidal marks are sub vortices that are extremely intense probably 200mph to 400mph. Also the path isn't straightforward. The sub vortices can pull the center of the Tornado off, deviating the Tornado a little to the north and a little the east. This Tornado also trench the ground up to 18 inches deep. The Philadelphia EF5 in 2011 is the only other Tornado to trench the ground. However the Cycloidal marks and the trenching was never rated by surveyors.

      The ground scouring is incredible. This tornado reportedly lifted a 4 inch concrete slab and threw it half a mile. Pretty insane. Don't forget the ground scouring at Jarrell though. That EF5 basically sat on top of a tiny town and ground everything above ground to dust.

    1:04 you can literally see the track very clearly way off in the distance at multiple times throughout the video. This drone flew very close to my house at one point in this video. Luckily it missed me

    Highest rated wind speeds based on damage for entire track was at 13:12 just right of the pond. Slabbed house rated at 190 mph at end of Strader Ln in Bremen

    Very nice video and work. However, can you indicate in the title or description when this tornado happened? I am not in the US and so am not aware of all the tornadoes. This video was posted Dec 2022 and doesn't indicate when this tornado happened. When I google, I get lots of info about a Dec 2021 tornado but nothing significant in 2022 so this is very confusing. It seems this video documents a 2021 tornado, is that correct? If so can you please put the data in the title. Thanks very much for the hard work on this and your other videos!

      It is the December 2021 tornado. We also have a documentary on the tornado named 165 miles posted to the channel. Added the date to the description.

    How do you get the drone back when it is 165 miles away? It can got 300 + miles on a charge? And how do you control it that far away?

    What an amazing view of such destruction. I was hoping there would be time stamps as to which town and communities you were flying through. I live in Uxbridge, Canada and don't know the layout of the lands or counties in Kentucky. My town was hit by an EF-2 Tornado this past May.21st 2022 and is still ongoing with the rebuild. Thanks for the video.

    • @WxChasing
      @WxChasing  Год назад +1

      There will be shortly. We are adding in cards from each town with more video from that town/city.

      More than 90 separate flights over a 3 day period.
