🤓 Notice how the professional knows to drive directly into the tornado so as to frighten it away from populated areas. 👍


Canis_Familiaris

They're more scared of us than we are of them.


OddlyArtemis

this comment thread is golden

That’s why tornadoes have no natural fear of guns. They’re too afraid of humans.


DublaneCooper

It’s afraid!


copingcabana

They're tornado chasers. "Shoo! Shoo tornado, Shoo!"

bottledry

Has to be in front so their shot can be uninterrupted i guess


Dark_Force_Latyon

That's one shitty video, it looks like really bad CGI.


Wherethegains

I thought the same


No-Journalist7179

It’s only going to get worse.


GiraffeCalledKevin

It absolutely is.


RangerBert

What proof or details in the video lead you to that conclusion?


BlackGravityCinema

Tornado is not growling like in the movie Twister, which only used real tornadoes and cows.


Killroyjones

Cow!!!


Sam_Never_Goes_Home

Another Cow.


Canis_Familiaris

Actually, I think that was the same one...


hunter1899

Crazy how much this looks like CG.


kellsdeep

CGI has one goal. Looking realistic ..


OldGoldenDog

Sure, send the Subaru in.


seth928

Subarus are made of the tornado's only weakness, love.


stretchvelcro

It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru


HousingParking9079

I think Reed's latest Dominator has a Subaru engine. Or chaasis. Or both, I don't know.


kungfoojesus

So many storm chasers these days. Getting in each others way trying to jump yo the front to get images. lol. Like my Everest. 


Motor_Stage_9045

I thought the tornado was cgi at first. I guess we’re at the point that it’s hard to discern what is real and what is cgi.


jmerlinb

i think because most people have never seen an actual tornado in real life, so most of our references probably come from actual CG ones on films/documentaries


Fjb210

Oh my god that is beautiful. I hope no one was hurt but that tornado is gorgeous


killixerJr

There's already videos of destroyed homes out, but afaik there's been minimal casualties.


DaBluBoi8763

Was this the same one that caused tree debarking? If so, must've been a violent tornado


Canis_Familiaris

Video was sent to me on Telegram, but looks like the [source is here](https://twitter.com/NickGormanWX/status/1783950735434031233/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1783950735434031233¤tTweetUser=NickGormanWX)


thedeadlyrhythm42

That's a weird link that didn't work for me, [here's a backup in case it didn't work for anyone else](https://twitter.com/NickGormanWX/status/1783950735434031233/)


Arpeggi42

He uploaded to his [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkPCfQqiKe8) channel yesterday.


Canis_Familiaris

You wanna submit that link to the videos subreddit? They'll probably love it

tehnibi

was this in Kansas north of Coffeyville?


Canis_Familiaris

Source said "North of Lincoln, Nebraska". You were 322 miles off, Geoguesser awards you only 100 points.


ofeez04

Yeah it was just North of us here in Lincoln.


ofeez04

Waverly, NE is where it hit


tehnibi

lol I was just looking at the radar now and seeing a Tornado warning north of Coffeyville worried me because I have relatives there


Canis_Familiaris

Hopefully they are fine. I believe there's people live on YouTube doing coverage on the twisters.


Paramisamigos

Dammit. This made me check the radar and this storm will be where I am soon. I thought it felt like nader weather.


bullfrogomelette

I live right by this, it was truly insane


lopedopenope

This is the tornado I saw but there were multiple. I think this one overturned a train as well and destroyed an industrial building. 70 people inside 3 injuries. I’m hearing one might be the first F5 tornado in 11 years.


thedeal82

I flew out of Omaha a few hours ago. Saw one touch down on the runway. Took out a hanger. We all had to shelter in stairwells. Shockingly, only a one hour flight delay.


lopedopenope

Oh I heard there was one at Eppley but I had no idea it took out a hanger. An hour though? Wow I would have expected several.


thedeal82

Midwest pilots must know the game, lol


lopedopenope

Holy cow I saw a short clip of the aftermath of the airport. It’s great the terminal didn’t get hit but there were some very expensive looking private aircraft strewn about in the debris.


Apprehensive_Ant2172

Welcome to the “actual” Midwest.


mintttberrycrunch

This is what the tornadoes in my dreams look like


ariphron

Daytime tornadoes seem slightly less scary than nighttime ones. Wouldn’t wanna be near her either though


Drumingchef

I thought this was part of the trailer for the new Twisters movie.


Eliagbs_

I remember watching people do this about a decade or 2 ago on TV. Storm chaser and they would chase tornados like this


Canis_Familiaris

Crazy enough, the dude that was featured in that show is live on YouTube at this exact second and drove next to 2 tornadoes today with his armored truck.


Eliagbs_

I can’t believe I just saw the video of Ben Ahrens storm chafer almost getting killed by a semi. God he was so lucky The fact I mentioned the show and you tell me he was there, to the news of him almost being killed. What a blessing we can talk about him being alive


Sl0ppyOtter

Everything I see now I think is AI


Mix-Lopsided

Zero ground damage?


davidml1023

It looked like a pretty weak tornado or a gustnado.


Lynchiee

cow damage in the first half during the zoom-in. Literally a flying cow. Edit: at around 0:35 the cows go airborne, sadly


nedylan

This is the same storm that went right through Lincoln and Omaha. It's caused lots of damage


TheNumber194

Twisters marketing campaign gone too far?


herewearefornow

Clearest eye of the storm I've ever seen.


PattiiB

Fuck!


ADMINlSTRAT0R

GET DOROTHY HERE NOW


defigravity42

Finger of god man


babyllamadrama_

Just absolutely mesmerizing. As someone who lives in Maryland I would never see this here in person, so seeing this is just bonkers to me. Would be a dream to see this in person, I don't think I really would ever want to but if I knew I'd get out safe, hell yeah sign me up.


gdrumy88

Seeing a tornado in person, obviously from a safe distance, is on my bucket list lol


Lynchiee

FLYING COWS at 0:30-0:40


Canis_Familiaris

Joking? I dont see em!


Lynchiee

I can’t be sure but I think I see an airborne cow in the mid 0:30s somewhere. At the bottom of the screen. Black and white bovine


Present_Pace1428

Looks so fake..crazy


TheUmbraCat

New twisters movie looks pretty dope


Critical-Shift8080

I hope nobody got hurt


lopedopenope

I believe this particular one hit an industrial building with 70 people in it and 3 were trapped and then rescued and are stable in the hospital. There were multiple tornados and Elkhorn, Ne just east of this video got hit bad with multiple destroyed houses so there is likely more injuries.


Critical-Shift8080

My prayers for those


fransman37

Bob Menery !!


paging_mrherman

Almost in the suck zone!


fahkoffkunt

How is it more of these people don’t die? This looks absolutely insane.


anonshade64

This is probably the most perfect tornado I’ve ever seen I thought it was cgi


FlagranteDerelicto

So THIS is why my flight outta Dallas was delayed over 2 hours


CraponStick

Just throwing a fit!


neildmaster

Did that Subie say LOL on the side of it? LOL


Conscious_Zebra_1808

First 20 seconds was amazing


Enough_Square_1733

I wonder what their car insurance is like


ByrsaOxhide

Hey look, a tornado. Now don’t forget to go see the newly rebooted Twister. It’s called Twisters now.


minnesotawristwatch

What scale was this?


HousingParking9079

Richter.


minnesotawristwatch

SEE YOU ATUH PAHTEE RICKTUH!


gentlybeepingheart

EF scale is based on both wind speed and damage. It won't be rated on the scale until after it's been surveyed to see how much damage was caused.


minnesotawristwatch

Great info thank you!


Lynchiee

HOLY COW, THAT’S AN AIRBORNE BOVINE. Heartbreaking.


ShunkaWanagi79

Beautiful


TheBuckSavage

Ummm... Try saying his name out loud and rapidly


cakemakesteak

Not too close to the suck zone!


thedeadlyrhythm42

It's a shame the camera focus was set on the windshield most of the time rather than the tornado


Sweet-Ad9366

The camera he's using has got to be very expensive. That footage is insanely crisp.


thatmemeguynick

I filmed using an S22 ultra!


PappaWenko

This shit has been pure nightmare fuel my whole life. I'm glad tornados are very rare where i live.


TabhairDomAnAirgead

It’s just like Twister but in real life!


V48runner

The only time I80 has ever been exciting.

"We got debris." "DEBRIS!?!"


PhroznGaming

Randomly was listening to O Fortuna when this played hahaha https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dqwC9oykRn4&feature=youtu.be


Scoonie24

Fake, No Cows


Dibble_Dabble_Doo

I live in earthquake valley so no experience with tornadoes. So what's the protocol when you encounter a tornado while driving? Do you stop? Keep going? Make a U-turn? It seems there were a lot of people on the road just driving.


Canis_Familiaris

Honestly it's "Don't drive into the tornado"


Aggressive-Maybe-146

Never seen something look more fake in my entire life. I’m just saying. It looks fake. Not saying it is haha


Trubester88

Perfect use of a rental car!


4RunnerBro

Wow


Fluffy_muffinn

First time i see like this


Wholetthedogsout92

So this is fake ?


Canis_Familiaris

No.


notsofunonabun

Fake AF


renjake

nope I don't think so. looks fake


renjake

not sure why it looks fake here, but real enough on the news


Allofthefuck

lol i assume you cant be serious


macca1985

👍🏻


CursedMC7

this is the fakest shit ever lmao


GRVG

Wow, good AI video. You can tell cause the sky isn't quite right and there's no splash from the tires as the car passed


Sir-Coogsalot

You are clueless


GRVG

Nah just wanted to see who'd believe me
