At last check, ten people were killed in this storm. The Twistex Team, Tim Samaras, Carl Young, and Tim's son, a woman and her infant child, also in a vehicle, and another less known storm chaser, that was also caught in a vehicle. Not sure, who the others were, but Skip Talbot, has an awesome breakdown of where everyone was, during this tornado, along with what happened. Enjoyed this video. It's a nail bitter! Glad you made it through!
Jesus .... the bright blue-green hue of the sky in the center of that tornado is simultaneously the most beautifully haunting yet terrifying thing I've seen!!
This is one of my most favorite video from El Reno...the position of the camera, the route that you take, the magnificent bluish-green monster, the no-screamers/curser/whiners condition, the real sounds of the wind and the car engine, etc. I love everything about it!!!
This is the best video I've seen of the sudden expansion of this tornado (as soon as you turned south on 81) - the two-story house you passed next to the large blue barrel water tower was hit and damaged severely. Easy to see how chasers were fooled into thinking the vortices were actually the extent of the tornado, and the outer edges were just rain wrapping. You were lucky just getting out of it's way.
It felt like you were driving 100mph forever and the wall/tornado was never ending. That must’ve been so terrifying. Great driving under such scary circumstances. I thought about those cars lined up on the side roads right under the storm and wondered if they made it out OK. I don’t know how they could have.
There's a point in every El Reno video where the driver realizes how big, how fast, and how CLOSE that cloud wall is, and this one is no exception.
Finally, someone who knows that's not a time to care about speed limits. That cop was really fleeing for his life coming out of the distance.
The best thing about this Tornado Video? No screaming and/or talking over the awesomeness of Mother Nature! Thank You!
I can't stop watching these tornado videos! I'm addicted lol

What's with that blue-green light in the clouds
This is the first and only tornado I’ve ever seen where the cell and the cyclone are indistinguishable from one another.

When the sky drops down and turns green it's time to gtfo
That glowing blue inside the supercell is amazing, I’ve never seen a tornado video catch anything like that, in awe over the high definition.
I was just sitting there thinking: wheres the tornado?.....oh shit that entire thing is the tornado ._.
the difference in how far it looked to how close it actually was between
The rules of the road don't matter when you are being chased down by a fucking tornado

The amount of power this storm had was absolutely insane, spawning sub vortices with 200+ MPH winds.
Pause at
The frightening thing is that the funnel cloud being focused on in this video WASN'T the tornado. It was forming in the rain shelf.
