Not only do I like watching the beautiful twisters that put down, but I also loved watching the rolling farmland of Indiana! I lived in Indiana for a couple of years (now in Arizona), and miss it very much. I try to get back there whenever I can.
Excellent editing. I like that you included a time stamp to the best footage but yet kept in the footage of the formation of the tornado. You even sped up the scenes that were blocked by the cornfields. Great work all the way around.
When I chased back in the 1990's until 2002, I was always blown away at the shelves, funnels, rotation, and ill-defined tornadoes people had NO clue what they were, what was going on, and how badly things could unfold for them!
I just find a rotating storm of this size soothing. It satisfies something in me that calms me down and I get sleepy. As a child all I would recognize as a tornado was the typical stovepipe looking twister to be an actual violent, scary storm. I, like some end up doing, would have totally driven into a storm that resembled this one. I wasnt familiar with terms like wedge or barrel. Just the stovepipe. If this type had been out in front of me I were wokdnt have recognized it as a tornado.
I heard some of the first warnings as I headed home from work, that day. I work in Lafayette, IN and live in Logansport (did back in 2016, too), so I had an hour to listen to this event develope.
Todd, I know I could just look at a map...but this is a Grandma scaring herself because my daughter and her family just moved to Ft Wayne. How close (or far) is this to Ft Wayne? Happily, they have a new home with a storm shelter built in the basement walls of their home.
The location of this particular tornado was about 60 miles southwest of downtown Fort Wayne. However, 9 days after this tornado, a much larger & stronger tornado struck Woodburn, IN which is just east of FTW.
I lived at park place when this happend and its quite the adrenaline rush to be in a building when a tornado hits it and not being ready. Thankfully no one died. oddly enough i helped at the shelters at the event centre in the aftermath. Its a storm thats hardly covered yet its so interesting and i actually joke (more dark humor) about the fact that had the storm hit any earlier or later there would have been deaths. (it serves as a coping mechanism for me)
Yes August tornados are not real common even in tornado alley brings back to mind august 28,1990 when Plainfield was decimated by a huge f-5 tornado it never got the recognition it deserved because it was rain wrapped most of the time but it was a killer event here in illinois
Yes, there are a ton in that area. You can see a slight power flash at 11:38. Other than that, I don't think the tornado traveled through any other condensed area of high tension lines.
I was at a house out in the country in southern Tipton County when this one went by. I never saw the funnel, but it passed about a mile in front of me, and there was just a big black vortex rotating around over the field across the road, with some sheets of rain rotating too. Being the moron I am, I just stood around on the porch with my camera waiting to see the funnel... to no avail. I got lots of pictures and footage, but all you can really see in the footage is just the torrential rain, not even the rotation up in the sky. I was half a mile from the most destructive one that tore through the middle of Kokomo the next week too. I was in shelter the whole time, so no pictures or anything of that one. I went just a block north of where I was and there were trees torn apart. Crazy couple of weeks there!
Also, the shot looking up 31 around 3:59 in the video is probably about 5 minutes before it passed by me. Apparently it had been off the ground for a short while right there, according to some sites with maps and data. It might have lifted decently off the ground before it passed by me but then dropped again later (without touching down) as it got near the Greentown area. Your video accurately captures the darkness of that storm though, it looks similar to several of the pictures I got from the porch that day. It was only a little after 7 pm, so it would've been pretty light normally, but not on that particular evening!
Sorry for the spam, but I'm commenting as I watch the video. I've driven right by where 5:07 was taken probably a few hundred times. That wasn't long after it passed by me. At 11:19 in the video was about an hour after it had passed by me and we were watching it live on the news, figuring out exactly where it was.
Looked a mite frustrating, considering that Meso's otherwise splendid appearance. Nothing definitive, unless you happened to record something else that day.
Im from Marion, Indiana (Grant County) I was watching everything unfold, watching the tracks of each cell was headed next and praying for everyone ahead of it as well as the ppl that had alread who had been hit by the storm's it was quite a scary, but yet exciting day

I've lived in Indiana my whole life, and it is a beautiful place to live.
I miss Arnis Pizza sooooo much
Fantastic video. This is what chasing should look like on RUclips.
Bryan Pippinpaddle-Oppsokopolis Agreed.
I live southeast of Kokomo in a town called New Castle. I remember this day all to well!

Thank you
I grew up in Carmel, Indiana. Thanks for sharing this!

Great sound and video. Always interested in what the temperature, humidity level feel like, and changes in both as the storm progresses
Fantastic views great job ❤️
Corn...Beans...Corn...TORNADO! Lol My Grandma was right when she said the weather was rough in Indiana. Great video, thanks.
and thus the outbreak of Freak August Indiana Tornadoes started
I heard some of the first warnings as I headed home from work, that day. I work in Lafayette, IN and live in Logansport (did back in 2016, too), so I had an hour to listen to this event develope.
Awesome video! I missed the tornadoes that day, so videos like this help me see what it was like
I remember that very well, I was working on a house near Sims and watched it go bye
I live in Kokomo! I seen the tornadoes that day!

I live in Kokomo so I went through it but on August 24th it was scary I was at school
Madi Lamp so was I and we all had to head to the bathrooms most uncomfortable 30 minutes of my life
This was a very strange storm there wasn't any lightning in it at all
Agreed
how far away are you from the tornado at 11:38?
And also great video , thank you ,
Just under a mile. About .7 to be exact
Damn corn!!! I start grinding my teeth when I get in it. Very frustrating while chasing. Good chase video!!!
Yes August tornados are not real common even in tornado alley brings back to mind august 28,1990 when Plainfield was decimated by a huge f-5 tornado it never got the recognition it deserved because it was rain wrapped most of the time but it was a killer event here in illinois
I was heading from work in Lafayette to my home in Logansport as this all began. Got home in time to hear the warning for Kokomo broadcast.
6:08 is that the tornado or the wall cloud?
Wall Cloud
The area east of Greentown is littered with high powered power lines. Wonder of any got taken down?
Yes, there are a ton in that area. You can see a slight power flash at 11:38. Other than that, I don't think the tornado traveled through any other condensed area of high tension lines.

where you was sitting in Elwood. just a few days later on the 24th i was sitting about the same spot.
I can't figure out the crossroads....but I know it was just North West of Elwood.
Dude I saw saw that on TV so you live in Indiana like me.
Ghost King I live in Fort Wayne,Indiana & I heard about this tornado warning in Kokomo on my fire pager.
awesome structure
Strong EF-0,possibly a Cat 2.
Obviously the absurdity of my comment escaped you..I said this because of all the stupid arguments in comment section about the rating.
Lucky it missed the Turbines---takes a go-zillion bucks to fix those things......
The only thing I like about summer. Rain and storms.
I was at school in the heights when one of the tornadoes hit my school
Ah yes, the low LCL grunge fest that is W Ohio and IN... great chase!
That is a big wall cloud
Kevin Burke definitely gives an appearance of a huge wedge behind that tree line
Looked a mite frustrating, considering that Meso's otherwise splendid appearance. Nothing definitive, unless you happened to record something else that day.
It was trying just never made it..Oklahoma it'd been a mile wide by now...
There's more than corn in Indiana. Well yeah, soybeans.

On my birthday
