I like how people just keep driving by like they don't even care ๐
-
Me: โWhat are you doing driving toward a tornado, are you crazy?!?โ Also me: โYes, get closer please. I wanna see.โ
-
One of the best tornado videos I've ever seen. Clear, no moving camera, no hysterical screaming. Thanks
-
I love how many of these super photogenic tornadoes have such a relatively small radius of impact. The fact that you can park just outside this little cell and experience such peace and quiet while simultaneously looking at complete chaos at the foot of that tornado as it moves. Incredible feat of nature.

aw that's nice of him, he even stopped to let the tornado pass by. what a nice guy
-
And he didnโt feel the need to yell and talk through the entire thing, well done, thank you, stunning.
-
It's crazy how something so violent can appear to be so peaceful from just a bit of a distance
-
That 1st shot of the meso-cloud is simply awe-inspiring..., most videos just show the tornado, but you captured the whole scenario; impressive! I'm from Ol' New England so we rarely get such storms..., except the 2011 Springfield, Ma EF-3..., some incredible videos of that one on-line.
-
Damn that is literally some of the absolute best footage of a tornado I have ever seen.
-
A clear windshield? No screaming? HD footage? No rain? Talk about a jackpot tornado video
-
As someone from the UK who has never seen any sort of substantial tornado ever, this just looks uncanny
-
No screaming or yelling in the background. Wonderful view
-
That's the most peaceful tornado I've ever seen. Wow.
-
I have never seen anything so spectacular in my life. Thank you thank you thank you
-
I like how at the end you calmly turned around and drove away as if you hadnโt just see this giant freak of nature. ๐ All in a days work.
-
I love how everyone was driving by as if itโs normal
-
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen
-
This has to be the most self-aware tornado. I always imagined they were wild and out of control.
-
holy crap, dude -- if I didn't know you were filming a live event ... the colors, movement ... it looks like one stunning piece of CGI work, like, award winning!
-
This is the most outstanding footage of a tornado I have ever seen.
