A big wedge tornado moved through the Harlan, Iowa area this afternoon. The tornado can be seen moving over farmland and homes, and right in front of the camera by feet.

Once you see videos of El Reno and Jarrell tornadoes with multiple vortices … when you see it again, it’s chilling. This thing peaked as a massive tornado, wonder what the recorded wind speeds were.

[@michaelespeland]

Preliminary reports say 224 mph, but it's not official yet, so take it with a grain of salt

[@ace1durago04]

Definitely over 200 mph but it won't be rated ef4 because idk

[@michaelespeland]

@@ace1durago04 It did some pretty significant damage on some structures, so I would not be surprised if it got an EF-4 rating.

[@user-nn7ss7gx6d]

@@michaelespeland it ended up getting classified as an ef-2

[@michaelespeland]

@@user-nn7ss7gx6d That's very surprising

This footage reminds me of El Reno

[@susanlanglo-killian7096]

I thought exactly the same thing.

[@fearme7184]

That’s exactly what I said

[@busterkeaton1041]

Definitely, I was watching some streaming as it happened and that was pretty crazy when it hit me how much it looked like the El Reno tornado. If it truly holds up that there were no fatalities today then that would be miraculous, honestly it wiil be miraculous if dozens didn't die.

[@ace1durago04]

It's el reno lite

[@HyBr1dRaNg3r]

Like an “evil” El Reno…The multiple vortices of that one were pretty beautiful imo…This one looks nasty from the start

[@paradoxicalpoet1525]

I actually had to make sure I didn't have the video on fast forward because the tornado was rotating so fast. Unbelievable tornado footage, great work!

[@teenageapocalypseusa5368]

The opening few seconds was arguably the most impressive tornado footage I’ve ever seen

[@teenageapocalypseusa5368]

This is the only one of the day that looked like F5 to me. Everything else looked F4 and F3. I guess it will all come down to what structures it hit.

[@ravensrevenge7245]

We got a Deadman Walking.

[@poetcomic1]

At 1:45.... this will be CLASSIC multiple vortex tornado footage.

[@destiny9705]

Great footage as always guys

[@valerier4308]

😮😢🙏

[@sexytexanbabe4105]

I’ve seen Dead Men Walking. The Jarrell tornado hit my recommends last night. Interesting. Very sad.
