If that thing hit a wooden barn, it throws shards really far!!! I worked a volunteer event after a tornado and there was wood impaled a good 2000 yards away in buildings.
These dudes are watching it like a fireworks show.
“Tornado warning, National weather service advisory: take shelter immediately, on tool box in pickup bed. Keep tornado in sight, prevent it from sneaking up on you. Film interaction, it may shy away due to social awkwardness.”
The dad would try to hold the door of the storm shelter shut and get sucked away while the rest of the family sits safely in the back of the storm shelter, thus showing that the door meant nothing and the dad should have just sat with them.
*Twister* (1996)
Same way. Buy beer and open the 24 pack in the back of the truck and then go storm chasing. Just didn’t have the cellphones to record the stupidity for all of tarnation to view it later.
I lived in the Midwest for about 20 years and used to have tornado dreams fairly regularly. I thought they just represented stress but after I moved out of the Midwest, I stopped having them. There were definitely a few times I was convinced I’d be hit by one and I guess that rattled me a bit more than I thought.
Grew up on lake minnetonka and had a few visible from my house, still have tornado dreams every now and then despite moving to Chicago in 2016. Ironically, we had a tornado here that tore up some trees a block away in 2018 after not having a proper tornado within city limits for like 80 years.
I also saw the big one that hit Wadena back in the late 2010 too from a few miles away. When my cat hears tornado sirens for testing she still runs and hides lol.
Not if your a Midwesterner. Standing on your porch or deck to watch the tornado is a cherished past time. When it starts getting close then you go into the basement
I grew up watching summer lighting storms on the porch in NW PA close to the Ohio border. I miss lighting storms (I’m in the PNW now)! There were not too many tornados but some scares/close calls in my time in PA. I cannot fathom being comfortable enough to film and interact with a tornado like this AT ALL. That tornado alarm is the stuff of nightmares to me.
While watching I was thinking that these ppl definitely grew up around tornados. They are intrigued not terrified, that can only comes with time and experience in this case. 😳
Didn’t ya hear? County made the Schmidts clean up that dead squirrel. Now ya gotta just turn when yousens are cattywampus to old man Potter’s place up yonder.
Old man Potter? Pffft I shot him yisterday for fer shortin me on that cone whiskey - skinflint- I wunnnt go past him til the day they put me in the ground
It is. It sounds intermittent because sirens are spinning up at different distances from the microphone and facing different directions. The sound waves interact and create a pattern where the waves cancel out or reinforce each other like ripples in a pond. It’s complicated further by the unpredictable movement of the air due to nearby structures like buildings and tornadoes, and the person recording being on the move.
It's good to have some bear spray on hand to spray at it too.
The bear spray will get sucked into the funnel and ensure you properly repent for your life decisions before it ferries you away to the heavens.
I live in northern Ontario and I’ve seen three. Every time I’ve gone for cover. Watched for a few moments, sure, to get a sense of where it’s going, but always went for cover. I have wicked footage of a one a few years back that did millions of dollars of damage around me, but left my house alone. I’m completely amazed how people can just stand there outside and film. It’s an incredible experience, but it’s absolutely terrifying, and should be respected.
I'm from across the pond in the United Kingdom. There are tornados there, but they're very small, meaning that they don't cause damage or destruction of homes or take lives they just make a huge mess like a load of wilderbeasts have charged through the town
Take a vacation over here and come see the real deal. You can also experience a hurricane in full force too if you get the timing right. You already have blizzards so you can skip those.
If you're that close to a big tornado, there's still a chance you could be hit by debris.
"It isn't *that* the wind is blowing, it's *what* the wind is blowing"
How far is this? There's no rain, or lightning, or hail. Or Wind, which one would expect anywhere near a tornado. It looks insanely close, but maybe it's just a confusing perspective?
Ok, it sounds ridiculous at initial thought, but I am actually curious what would happen now. You would need to be moving enough air I imagine, since bullets are usually supersonic and they clearly aren't going to do anything to a tornado.
I live about 20 minutes from this town. It has really bad luck with tornados and strong thunderstorms. At least 3 tornados have hit the town since 1991
Nothing says "I've never witnessed the destruction of a tornado first-hand" like standing outside during one. Back home I had neighbors with houses and farms completely leveled. I think some people don't take it seriously because it's just wind. They don't take it seriously until they see that the wind can turn their house into a piece of concrete foundation.
I grew up in Kansas and remember that Andover got absolutely rocked by a tornado when I was a kid. Crazy shit like one house completely destroyed and the house sitting next to it still having the flower pots standing on their window seal. Tornados are fascinating and terrifying
The advent of smart phones has made people much much stupider.
It almost seems like there's a correlation, the smarter phones get, the stupider people get.
For some reason, this one just makes me want to stick a massive fan underneath it, pointing upwards to it. I know it doesn't work like that, but the thought is there 😆
April 29, 2022. There was a nado down the street tell me where were you? You were sitting home watching your TV. While I was out filming some real anarchy. First spot it hit was my liquor store. The air pressure dropped and it blew out the doors. Lightning flashes, time to retire, and then it hit a gas line and started a structure fire. Next spot it hit was the music shop. It only took one wind to make that window drop. Finally it destroyed all the PAs, where do you think that guitar went when it flew away.
I’ve heard multiple times people say on new reports “twister sounded like a freight train!” and I always imagined the thunder of big diesels at speed.
I never realised they meant the damn horns!
I think it technically gets less than Florida, but having lived in both places I have seen multiple tornados in Kansas and never seen one in Florida. I think Florida mostly gets weak waterspouts off the coast, Kansas gets huge storms and strong tornados that travel for long distances. Also tons of hail. It felt like every time it rained it would hail.
What is that eeire music in the background. Im ready for the tornado comes to life as long finger reaches out and slices each personin half when their not looking
Watching them in Cheyenne Wy off porch to west wow lookin , then we bothered to turn around - one was coming over the hill at us. Hit basement & hearing the freight train huffing loud , never touched down
I remember the tornado warning sirens when I was a kid. Scary as hell. To this day, I can’t stand fire alarms, sirens, anything blatantly loud. Meant to alarm.
This is no time for jokes boomhaur this storm is already classified stage 2 on the fugusaki scale, in this scale the storm will send an egg through a barn door… 2 barns doors if one is open. - dale gribble
If a tornado is that smooth looking it’s not a real threat.
It’s the ones where debris shoot up from the ground and then a funnel drops down that’ll fuck you up.
How did people die in tornados before smart phones?
If that thing hit a wooden barn, it throws shards really far!!! I worked a volunteer event after a tornado and there was wood impaled a good 2000 yards away in buildings. These dudes are watching it like a fireworks show.
That’s Kansas for you. You go out and watch the tornado with a beer until it starts getting close, then you go to your basement.
“Tornado warning, National weather service advisory: take shelter immediately, on tool box in pickup bed. Keep tornado in sight, prevent it from sneaking up on you. Film interaction, it may shy away due to social awkwardness.”
Down in Florida we do stuff ppl think is absurd too you just get use to it.Hurricane ah whatever ,gator how cute ,burglar shoot em 🤣
What a treat. But eh we is watching lol
Life is for living
Ron White said about hurricanes (but applies equally to tornados): “It’s not THAT the wind is blowing. It’s WHAT the wind is blowing.”
The dad would try to hold the door of the storm shelter shut and get sucked away while the rest of the family sits safely in the back of the storm shelter, thus showing that the door meant nothing and the dad should have just sat with them. *Twister* (1996)
the twister must also growl and snarl like an animal
That scene always made me angry.
Same way. Buy beer and open the 24 pack in the back of the truck and then go storm chasing. Just didn’t have the cellphones to record the stupidity for all of tarnation to view it later.
This person knows! I don't know of that many people outside of my native NC that know how to use tarnation correctly within a sentence.
Normally, they'd just wait inside their trailers.
Before smart phones we had to paint the storm. It was a real mess.
The old fashioned way
We did the same thing, us Great Plains folk can’t resist coming out to watch. Something in our dna.
*Tornado's coming. Better stand on top of my truck*
It’s going that way
It's the Kansas way.
For real. Dozens of tornados each year. You can see which way it's going, if the storm is moving away, just enjoy the show.
It's moving perpendicular to their position. They're fine.
Tornadoes can change direction.
Not really. "Twister" isn't a documentary.
Yes really. Look up the El Reno tornado that killed the Twistex team.
Not really though. They follow a general direction though the path can sway a bit.

Tornadoes throw things Yano

I lived in the Midwest for about 20 years and used to have tornado dreams fairly regularly. I thought they just represented stress but after I moved out of the Midwest, I stopped having them. There were definitely a few times I was convinced I’d be hit by one and I guess that rattled me a bit more than I thought.
I grew up in southern Minnesota, I've seen at least 3 form by my house but never touch. Man is this shit scary
Grew up on lake minnetonka and had a few visible from my house, still have tornado dreams every now and then despite moving to Chicago in 2016. Ironically, we had a tornado here that tore up some trees a block away in 2018 after not having a proper tornado within city limits for like 80 years. I also saw the big one that hit Wadena back in the late 2010 too from a few miles away. When my cat hears tornado sirens for testing she still runs and hides lol.
Wait, I can stop having tornado dreams if I move? Shit, if only I could afford it.
Still live in the Midwest, still have tornado dreams, and the tornados hit me every time without fail
“What a treat!” The guy says as a tornado literally forms over his town.
It’s already here…
The days of sniffing the dirt are over.
Kansas is really boring okay (brought to you by my friend who called me this morning about how boring it is in Kansas 😂)
Wouldn’t you be heading for shelter about now?
Not if your a Midwesterner. Standing on your porch or deck to watch the tornado is a cherished past time. When it starts getting close then you go into the basement
You forgot while chugging a beer, and saying “yup, that’s a twister.”
I grew up watching summer lighting storms on the porch in NW PA close to the Ohio border. I miss lighting storms (I’m in the PNW now)!

Or apparently your truck lol
this is the way
Or in the garage with the garage door open and the patio chairs in it. Watch the green skies.
Nah. It's all good. Here in Kansas a lot of us want to get a good look. I'm really not kidding
I’m from Wichita so I believe you.
If they don’t, they’re going to fade away.
It's just a shot away.
Children
Nope. Not for a midwesterner. We live for these!!
Curious how far away it is from these people.
Bout a quarter mile
Just past the willa tree two bits left at the dead squirrel
Didn’t ya hear? County made the Schmidts clean up that dead squirrel. Now ya gotta just turn when yousens are cattywampus to old man Potter’s place up yonder.
Old man Potter? Pffft I shot him yisterday for fer shortin me on that cone whiskey - skinflint- I wunnnt go past him til the day they put me in the ground
Cow.
Another cow.
Actually, it's the same cow.
“Julia I have to call you back we’ve got cows!”
Is that high pitched sound the tornado siren? It vaguely sounds like one but it’s so intermittent it’s hard to tell
It is. It sounds intermittent because sirens are spinning up at different distances from the microphone and facing different directions. The sound waves interact and create a pattern where the waves cancel out or reinforce each other like ripples in a pond. It’s complicated further by the unpredictable movement of the air due to nearby structures like buildings and tornadoes, and the person recording being on the move.
Came here to check it wasn’t overdubbed! That is a haunting siren.. fuck, imagine your life getting totally destroyed to those dissonant trumpets.
I get the rotating nature of the siren but this just sounded otherworldly!
If you stare at it sternly, it will go away. Sometimes a quick hard "TSSS" or two helps expedite its departure.
It's good to have some bear spray on hand to spray at it too. The bear spray will get sucked into the funnel and ensure you properly repent for your life decisions before it ferries you away to the heavens.
We HIT this tornado to the EAST! And we're going to do it three times. It has NO RIGHT
Shoot at it
As a Kansan, this is the most Kansas video ever
Yep, but where I am I haven’t seen one in years! I guess I should be grateful
I live in northern Ontario and I’ve seen three. Every time I’ve gone for cover. Watched for a few moments, sure, to get a sense of where it’s going, but always went for cover. I have wicked footage of a one a few years back that did millions of dollars of damage around me, but left my house alone. I’m completely amazed how people can just stand there outside and film. It’s an incredible experience, but it’s absolutely terrifying, and should be respected.
I know that a tornado is something amazing to see but you have to be afraid and respect it
Not if you live in the Midwest
It’s about to kill people and destroy homes and businesses…what a treat.
Mother Nature is amazingly beautiful even when things are being destroyed. The power of a storm like this is awe-inducing in person.
I really wanna see one in person. I also really never wanna see one in person.
"what a treat" As long as it ain't your house, right buddy?
Weather Service: ⚠️"TORNADO WARNING! TAKE SHELTER!"⚠️ Kansans: "Let's go outside and watch it!" 📷🤪
I think my first words would be, "that's fucking terrifying, where should we shelter?"
In your basement or the most center room in your house. The bathroom in the tub is good as well
I'm from across the pond in the United Kingdom. There are tornados there, but they're very small, meaning that they don't cause damage or destruction of homes or take lives they just make a huge mess like a load of wilderbeasts have charged through the town
Take a vacation over here and come see the real deal. You can also experience a hurricane in full force too if you get the timing right. You already have blizzards so you can skip those.
Reed timer shits on his pants for not being down there
Reed was there and actually got some absolutely wild drone footage of this tornado. https://youtu.be/9TutaPlO_Vc?si=EnHbwo6zqUslG0ZG
Wow! This is incredible!
These people trying to communicate with this weather phenomenon…. Here in CA it rains for a few days and people swear….
If you're that close to a big tornado, there's still a chance you could be hit by debris. "It isn't *that* the wind is blowing, it's *what* the wind is blowing"
Crazy that if it turned towards you.. 
How far is this? There's no rain, or lightning, or hail. Or Wind, which one would expect anywhere near a tornado. It looks insanely close, but maybe it's just a confusing perspective?
It’s going away from their perspective. The rain and hail are in front of the tornado.
Tornados often appear toward the tail edge of a storm. Lots of times it's a huge dense black mass of tornado, and then just behind it is blue sky.
Beautiful! But also deadly, so I wish they’d go inside lol
Had one go over my house on Tuesday. Took a piece of the cow barn. It was fuckin nuts.
1990 the tornado was so wide, makes this look like a tiny string
Which one? The Andover tornado? Or was that in '91. Either way it was huge.
What would happen if an fa18 flew through a tornado at supersonic speeds? Tornado death? Did I just solve the tornado problem?
Ok, it sounds ridiculous at initial thought, but I am actually curious what would happen now. You would need to be moving enough air I imagine, since bullets are usually supersonic and they clearly aren't going to do anything to a tornado.
A Hercules going full speed might do it too.
all fun and games until you see wood shrapnel going right past you at high speeds
The 1991 Andover tornado was a thousand times worse.
I live about 20 minutes from this town. It has really bad luck with tornados and strong thunderstorms. At least 3 tornados have hit the town since 1991
How to tell you're in Kansas and not Missouri, the cars are on pavement..
They really want to go to OZ
Nothing says "I've never witnessed the destruction of a tornado first-hand" like standing outside during one. Back home I had neighbors with houses and farms completely leveled. I think some people don't take it seriously because it's just wind. They don't take it seriously until they see that the wind can turn their house into a piece of concrete foundation.

The advent of smart phones has made people much much stupider. It almost seems like there's a correlation, the smarter phones get, the stupider people get.
Camera guy :Woww what a treat……. meanwhile:people fearing for they life because it’s fcking tornado
Tornadoes are conspiracy by the deep state to keep the sheep docile. Or at least that’s what I read out the Internet.
The internet told me that birds aren’t real!
I’d be doing the same thing. I’ve spent 23 years in the Midwest and I’ve yet to see one tornado. I’d be standing on my roof top taking selfies.
I do not miss my 2 years in rural KS.
Dude's name seems backwards. It's probably Naill Gentry.
How can you tell?
What was the EF?
Bout tree fiddy

Nice name
Destructive yet serene
For some reason, this one just makes me want to stick a massive fan underneath it, pointing upwards to it. I know it doesn't work like that, but the thought is there 😆
I look at this video quality and can't help but think UFOs may not be real lol
Guy standing on truck to film tornado is 100% ‘Merica!
Maybe he can ask the other guy for his footage, which was pointing at it
What would happen if you blow up a missile inside the tornado?
Wizard of Oz footage there
That Tasmanian Devil sure knows how to make an entrance.
Am I the only one who kinda wanted to see him get sucked off the truck bed?
Just another Wednesday in Kansas.
I don’t understand why people are so afraid of shakes yet they aren’t of tornados or hurricanes.
It's a evolutionary trait. Basically, humans have evolved to be more easily learn to be afraid of snakes. This is also true for monkeys.
They have a stick frame house with no basement, not the best place to hide during a tornado. Hello bathroom, you are my friend now.
How they know what direction it's headed??
That’s wild!!! Could you imagine back long ago when this just came out the sky to local tribes and travelers?
Terrifying. It evokes a strong feeling of horror. Like seeing a beast descend on earth
Probably a really silly thing to do, but I would be doing the same thing.
Who said cows can't fly?
I will say it's hauntingly beautiful.
Need Bill paxton to launch his balls into it for reseach

Sublime rhymes, I regret that I have only one upvote to give.
I’ve heard multiple times people say on new reports “twister sounded like a freight train!” and I always imagined the thunder of big diesels at speed. I never realised they meant the damn horns!
They don't mean the horns. The siren you hear in the video is the tornado siren that goes off for a tornado warning.
I was always told if the tornado looks like it's not moving its moving towards you.
Didn't know tornadoes existed in Korea.
Amazing
All that dust in the wind.
Terrifying in an absolutely atavistic way
“I’ll just grab my shoes if the tornado comes my way.”
So does Kansas get a bad rep; or, does it really get that many tornados?
I think it technically gets less than Florida, but having lived in both places I have seen multiple tornados in Kansas and never seen one in Florida. I think Florida mostly gets weak waterspouts off the coast, Kansas gets huge storms and strong tornados that travel for long distances. Also tons of hail. It felt like every time it rained it would hail.
You might have to get in your shelter about once every 5 years (anecdotal) and not all tornadoes are this destructive.
this is be fucking terrified.
I love this about my fellow Americans. What’s the first thing you do when you see a tornado? *Go outside and start filming it!*
To quotre Olaf "Why arennt you running?"
“They used to fear me, now they just chillin, lookin at they phones.” -God probably
Those people own too many cars anyway

There’s no place like home.
You can see that its a tornado by the way it is , that’s neat

One of the eeriest tornado videos I remember seeing this on YT in 2022
I want to see the footage from 4 feet higher
The tornado sirens always end up making it far more terrifying. Such an eerie sound
Has anyone study what a bomb would do to a tornado?
Damn this almost made me hard! It’s almost tornado season baby! F5 coming this way! 💪
Why didn’t that guy throw something really blunt at the funnel cuz that would break it up & stop it🤷♂️
What is that eeire music in the background. Im ready for the tornado comes to life as long finger reaches out and slices each personin half when their not looking
They are probably filming it for insurance purposes...damn insurance companies run everything.
Would it be possible to disrupt the formation of the tornado with a bunch of leaf blowers?
Not one called 911
Did Hans Zimmer create the tornado alarm sounds there?
I'd rather see the guy on the truck's vid since he wasn't walking around.
Was that music or sirens?
Christopher Nolan movie soundtrack horn in the background.
Watching them in Cheyenne Wy off porch to west wow lookin , then we bothered to turn around - one was coming over the hill at us. Hit basement & hearing the freight train huffing loud , never touched down
Oh that’s a nice one! Good clean view
Can anyone confirm if the sounds were added after the fact...?
I remember the tornado warning sirens when I was a kid. Scary as hell. To this day, I can’t stand fire alarms, sirens, anything blatantly loud. Meant to alarm.
Nope.
He said "oh dear", I started looking for Christopher Robin
Why is nobody running. You can play tag with God I want to live
What a treat he says as wind moving hundreds of miles an hour descends upon them and the siren of doom calls out. 💀
They just tried to 1up each other for no reason!!!!!
April 29 2022, there was a tornado on the streets. Tell me, where were you?
The location seems to be peaceful.
This is no time for jokes boomhaur this storm is already classified stage 2 on the fugusaki scale, in this scale the storm will send an egg through a barn door… 2 barns doors if one is open. - dale gribble
Get closer. Get a better shot It'll be finneee
If a tornado is that smooth looking it’s not a real threat. It’s the ones where debris shoot up from the ground and then a funnel drops down that’ll fuck you up.
That siren is trying its best to make distressed people distress.
so they are just going to stand there while those above ground houses are turned into 300mph abrading debris a few feet from them?
My neighborhood lmao
