Weather has been extremely unpredictable recently. A few days ago there were 4 tornadoes in Wisconsin and Wisconsin wasn’t even under tornado risk or severe weather risk at all
If not clickbait it's close. Anyone who has spent much time studying US tornado history knows it tends to be cyclical, and all that's happening is that we're in between the busy periods; they're never going to "go extinct". The weather which allows tornadoes to form will keep happening so the possibility will always be there. The time for prolific tornadoes and outbreaks will come again but nobody can say exactly when that will happen.
@@rexvaraug6071 It will take at least that long, and the AI technology will be ready long before there's enough compiled data to use it. Yet until it's perfected we will still have missed tornadoes and warnings given for tornadoes which never quite form, and IMHO that's the biggest problem we have now.
@@P_RO_ You're not wrong about your last statement. I'm pretty sure quite a few of the deaths attributed to tornadoes can be traced back to honest disbelief of the early And even present warning systems that proved to either be false or incorrect in some capacity.
A more likely theory is that the tornado prone areas are shifting. Or the tornado prone areas are actually increasing in size. And la nina is messing up some stuff too
@Flysoonas a midwesterner, that makes me sad. i LOVE tornadoes. And if i start storm chasing in the future i dont wanna drive all the way down to alabama.
tornados are changing!! were seeing more and more high risk events in winter months, not spring or summer like most common. it is interesting to think about what will change over the next 15-30 years. who knows maybe we will be in a complete different climate and we may no longer see any tornados or even cyclonic storms at all. but hey that's just a wild theory right
@@ryanjohnson271 Yeah, the "Tornadoes Going Extinct" things isn't true at ALL, it's more like "Tornadoes Changing Hot-spot Areas" since instead of Tornado Alley, it's Dixie Alley getting the most Tornadoes, it's like this: Dixie Alley is the Modern Day Tornado Hot-spot. Tornado Alley is the Historical but most Violent Hot-spot
Theoretically, tornados , Just like everything has a limit to how many will ever exist on what we call Earth . So its possible that today could have the last one ever, Or ITS also just as possible that we haven't even started to see what is to come and will for now on see 1000 tornados a day. ~life~~Is~~fun~~

@@highriskchris I'm pretty surprised that supercell thunderstorm with all of that crazy intense cloud to ground lightning that you chased didn't formed any tornadoes knowing that a whole lot of violent CGs like that produced by a violent supercell is usually a sign of tornadogenius or however you it's pronounced? which usually leads to large violent monster destructive tornadoes but i guess that didn't happen either bcuz the directional wind shear and speed shear was too low or the storm was elevated and not surface base?
@@highriskchris I believe the reason why that supercell didn't produce any tornadoes? either bcuz the directional shear and speed shear wasn't strong enough? or the dew point levels was too low making the storm elevated? or the storm mode was too messy meaning there was too many thunderstorms surrounding the the supercell and preventing that supercell from producing any tornadoes?
@@aprilbrooks1026 it could be any of those things, I would be lying if I told you I knew what it was, there are so many variables when it comes to the atmosphere!
Excellent video as always man. I hope this gives people some perspective on just how hard it is to see a tornado and the other wonders to see along the way. Had a blast with you this year regardless of the outcome. 2023 here we come 💪
Thanks dude. Yeah storm chasing is an absolute grind. Looking forward to chasing with you next year dude, we'll more than make up for all the busts this year.
I've been lucky to be in the right place at the right time the last two years. Close range intercepts, you name it. I hope you all kick butt next year!!!
Sometimes the SPC will issue a certain risk for forecasted severe weather. However, the atmosphere doesn’t always correlate with the forecast due to various factors. And i think that’s what happened a lot over the last couple years. It’s been active for sure given the La Niña. But forecast don’t always work out the way we expect them to. The atmosphere has a mind of its own at the end of the day.
Remember when Illinois was in the dead of winter of winter last year, then it warmed up for a few days and a bunch of Tornados spawned which trashed some warehouses before freezing over again? This crap is getting insane.
Yep. Before my town got hit by a mile wide tornado there was constant positive lightning charges. It was incredible seeing how powerful the lightning was.
@@morganw217 I would love to experience that (the lightning and thunder) ofc not the destruction! I hope you and your love ones are coming along good and staying positive ❤️
You should've gone to the Texas panhandle in late May. There was a decent crop of tornadoes. I was headed out to Colorado down that way, on vacation, and we drove right under a supercell that spawned an EF1. Amarillo was hit by an EF3 or so by the same system if I recall correctly.
The hurricane season was decently predicted, it was said it would be slightly delayed because of a large cloud of sand from Africa blowing west causing the air to be dry. As of right now we’ve only been hit with Hurricane Ian, if it were to start sooner we’d probably be hit with more. Regardless of that the weather is always going to change as time goes on due to either natural changes or caused by man. The earth is unpredictable most times which is why we do the studies and experiments we do so we can learn to get better at forecasts and predictions of events.
There was a tornado warning on May 22, 2022, due to a derecho hitting southern Ontario which is where I am and I got stuck in a Walmart for 3 hours waiting for the storm to pass. Luckily I didn't get directly hit as the tornado was further north and the severe weather risk was only slight but there were 4 confirmed tornadoes where the largest one was an ef2.
Great video! Glad the algorithm lead me here. Here in Southern New England seeing great storms is rare and even the tiniest of thunderstorms is appreciated. I envy your opportunity to view these amazing storms!
Where does “dingus” come from? The first records of the word dingus come from the 1870s. It comes from the Dutch word dinges, from the German Ding, meaning “thing.” So a dingus is really a thingus.
I've noticed a few trends recently in storms. The first is it seems like storms go linear faster than used to. We are seeing less surface based supercells. It seems like most days where surface based supercells and tornadoes are expected the storms end up forming into a QLCS system. Another is there seem to be more nighttime tornadoes. When there are surface based supercells they seem to occur at night more often. Also I have noticed that localized tornado threats usually end up in something. The day may be meh for spotting overall but certain small localized threats end up in a tornado or two these days it seems. Morton, Texas is an example of this. Also I am seeing an uptick in tornadoes from unwarned storms. This seems to also related to localized threats, unexpected interaction of an outflow boundary with pop up storms or brief spin ups from unwarned squall lines that are quickly missed on radar. The Springdale, Arkansas EF3 tornado this year is an example of one that came from an unwarned storm initially. It's been an interesting past few years for weather, these are just observations from what i've seen. I know here in Northwest Arkansas there has been a downward trend overall in severe storms and especially tornadoes in recent years.
Interesting observations, I agree, storms seem to be going linear more than isolated, and when they are isolated they're usually elevated. Ground based isolated supercells are what produce photogenic tornadoes, maybe they're becoming less common.
It's not unusual for years to pass without an EF5 simply because they're rare to begin with. Moreso, if you study the way damage surveys have been done in the last 20 years you'll find they go to great lengths to avoid assigning that rating even up to ignoring clearly visible indicators of such strength. So it wouldn't surprise me if we never again see an EF5- but that won't stop them from happening occasionally.
I chased on 5/19, 5/29, and 5/30. Boy was I disappointed as those three days were the only days I could actually chase faraway from home (eastern MT) due to work. But holy hell was it fun though!
Weather patterns are changing here in the uk as well. We don't normally get thunderstorms in October ( ours are babies compared to yours though) and when it was record breaking temperatures we never got 1 in the whole uk
May 30th, 2022, my hometown of Hinckley, MN got hit by an EF1 tornado. It hit my job and I missed it by 30 minutes. I had just got off my shift and went home…
I think that the tornado-alley area is definitely shifting in some way. The shifting could be earlier or later tornado seasons, or a shift in location for tornado alley. If the tornado season was earlier, the peak of tornadoes would probably be Late March to Early May just like dixie alley, or if the tornado season was later, the peak of tornadoes would probably be Early June to Early August. If the location was shifted, I would say the area is moving farther east. It wouldnt be Colorado to Missouri and Norh Dakota to Oklahoma, it would probably be Kansas to Tennessee and Minnesota to Tennessee.
I’m kind of scared of 2023. I live in Poland, and I noticed a pattern in recent years - odd numbered years started to bring more tornadoes than even numbered ones.

Hey, just so you know; the chances of seeing a tornado on any given chase is mostly 1 in 10 chance in the BEST conditions. You saw a tornado on the 12th chase which pretty much lines up with the average. Great videos and shots! You got to be in the chase for more then the tornadoes mate.
I witnessed the April 29th tornado in Andale Kansas. A spectacularly violent twister, was amazing in person. Such a powerful little nado that didn't hurt a single person despite destroying a couple well built new neighborhoods and a ymca
I don’t know if they are really going extinct I think they are just happening in different areas more like it seems the southeast is getting a lot more tornados lately then the typical tornado alley.
Its June of 2023 and here in Alabama, we just had a tornado hit last week. I cannot remember the last time that happened. Tornadoes are definitely not going extinct. This year has been really active
Not to mention that this is the second outbreak to happen in Texas in two months. This year has just proven to have been slow where the big stuff's expected and very active when nothing's usually expected.
It's also funny to see this video pop up and, at the same time, see at least 3 or so different livestreams in my recommended for the Mississippi Moderate risk outbreak currently ongoing at the time of this posting.
There is some research that shows after these huge super outbreaks of tornadoes and huge tornado seasons there seems to be a 10 to 15 year decline in tornadoes after those huge seasons.
Tornadoes being rated EF4 or EF5 tend to be going extinct because of stringent and incompetent damage surveyors. They use every excuse possible to avoid giving a higher rating because of stupid contextual damage etc.
It doesn’t matter how much we know about forecasting or how advanced technology and our ability to forecast severe weather outlooks with models Mother Nature is going to do what she wants to do and doesn’t need our approval and doesn’t need to give us the reason why.
Around the time this video came out I was eating in the school cafeteria then all the sudden “SEVERE WEATHER IS HEADING DIRECTLY YOUR WAY SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL” replaying for like 20 minutes
I have only seen tornado this year, back in March near the community of Sawyerville AL, where it tossed trailer homes like toys before causing a fatality and multiple injuries, it was only rated as a ef2 though
Seems like midwest got all severe weather this yr. I love how when something happens ppl cry global warming climate change but don't realize tornados have been on downfall I mean haven't had f5 in 10 yrs
Whenever there's any kind of major weather event people cry global warming, hell people are saying the hurricane I've just been through could've been "prevented" what a joke.

@@DanteTimberwolf I'd say there's multiple states tornado states suggesting not just since the change to EF-scale but even decades prior to La Plata have weakened drastically. Most particularly, the states of Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin have seen drastic tornado intensity reductions even though tornado totals are actually increasing.
the Answer is "NO" buddy. (coming from April, 2023) My state has been targeted this month (Illinois). I Believe weather systems come and go in Cycles. meaning a tornado outbreak of Huge Proportions happens in 1984, in a specific state/place, then in 2020-2023 happens again in said same state etc. etc.
may 20th my home of Gaylord Michigan was hit with an EF3 and we are still rebuilding its mostly done but there is still home houses that are completely destroyed but main area where most of the damage is cleaned up
Are there any tornado events that had a clear blue sky sun shining, no warning. Our ears didn't pop, the sky never got green, and when my son, and I crested a small hill on Father's Day, in front of us were 3 small tornadoes.The weather never told us a chance of tornadoes, so I was amazed at seeing 3 right in front of us!
Where was this? Seeing 3 tornadoes at the same time is not common. Also, for your first question, no tornadoes don't happen on blue sky days however sometimes they happen on smaller storms and can have nice weather right next to them, look up the Ashby tornado from 2020, that storm had nice weather nearby.
As someone who lives in tornado ally and had half my town wiped by one i would be happy if tornados went extinct, but i know its just the current weather cycle sadly
Tornadoes def are not going extinct. What we are seeing is just unfavorable climate variations with NAO, PNA, AO, and especially ENSO. They have been highly favor western and central death ridges during peak season and drought conditions/drought have been increasing dry air aloft for every event that we do have. Dry air aloft is almost always the bust mode when it comes to our severe events in the plains. We will keep seeing our tornado numbers randomly going up and down but tornado alley will not be an avid producer of tornadoes until you can clear western drought or get an event with an unusually high abundance of moisture.
You guys picked up that turtle the *exact* right way…it always makes me cringe when someone picks them up by the tail. That can easily cause a pretty debilitating injury and all your good will accidentally goes to waste. Back of the shell, people…they can’t bite you (at least not easily) and you won’t throw their little backs out by lifting their body weight via the tail.
The usual tornado prone areas are shifting. "Tornado alley" has shifted East. But a few years ago these climate fear mongers said that tornadoes are going to get bigger and stronger and last 5 times longer. Since then, there has been a record drop in tornado numbers and overall they have been less powerful.
I chased two tornadoes in south Alabama in early January but it’s been quiet even in Dixie Alley this year. I have experienced some of the most energetic storms that I can remember this year. There have been durations of 4 or 5 hours this year where I could hear relatively frequent thunder the entire time.

Ten rok prócz zimy to w ogóle cieńki jakiś jest, 2021 pokazał pazur w Czechach szczególnie
@@Mejmet Jak najbardziej, jakiekolwiek polskie nagrania trąb powietrznych sprzed 2007 praktycznie nie istnieją. Lecz mój komentarz odnosił się do tego, że w ostatnim czasie lata nieparzyste przynoszą więcej tornad niż parzyste.
2016 - 11 tornad
2017 - 20 tornad
2018 - 12 tornad
2019 - 22 tornada
2020 - 15 tornad
2021 - 33 tornada
2022 - 30* ** tornad

* Orkan Ylenia wygenerował 21 z tych trąb, reszta roku miała zaledwie 9**.
** Rok nie jest zakończony, zawsze może jeszcze być jakaś niespodzianka, choć jest to już mało prawdopodobne.
@@Micfri300 it seems like it. last year an IF4 tore apart moravia i went my whole life thinking czechia doesnt get strong tornadoes and suddenly we have the dedliest one in europe since 2001
@@Schody_lol ej no ale w tą zime bylo chb 9 tornad w *jeden* dzien i jak na polske to mega rzadkie
Loved those shots at night on May 29 with stars above the thunderstorms like that.
May 29? That’s my birthday lol
I haven't seen any tornados ever. But I have seen 15 Waterspouts/Waterspout Funnel clouds on Lake Erie this year alone
Writing this as of the 12th of April, this video captures the storm before the storm.
Hey, just so you know; the chances of seeing a tornado on any given chase is mostly 1 in 10 chance in the BEST conditions. You saw a tornado on the 12th chase which pretty much lines up with the average. Great videos and shots! You got to be in the chase for more then the tornadoes mate.
Or maybe tornadoes are actually happening frequently but aren't recognized that well because of the EF scale being outdated
Try going to Dixie Alley. We get more tornadoes than the traditional tornado alley.
Watching this video after the first week of April already tells me this dude probably should stop using click bait titles.
I ain't trying to see a tornado ever. Ima cower in a basement the minute the siren goes off. Might even just because the sky looks funny.
I witnessed the April 29th tornado in Andale Kansas. A spectacularly violent twister, was amazing in person. Such a powerful little nado that didn't hurt a single person despite destroying a couple well built new neighborhoods and a ymca
You had an awesome season with what you were given. Great job!
Thanks! Yeah I agree. really looking forward to a year with above average tornado activity, the last few years have been tough
@@highriskchris man I really hope so!
@@highriskchris
I blame the La Nina pattern we've been stuck in for the last few years.
How in the hell can a tornado go extinct you wait until next year you're get what you ask for
“The start of the year has been fantastic”
*Especially the damage it done to people!*
Look at the greenish hues in the sky! I am very surprised there was not any tornados in those atmospheres , looked very promising
I don’t know if they are really going extinct I think they are just happening in different areas more like it seems the southeast is getting a lot more tornados lately then the typical tornado alley.
Its June of 2023 and here in Alabama, we just had a tornado hit last week. I cannot remember the last time that happened. Tornadoes are definitely not going extinct. This year has been really active
The last tornado in bama I remember was in Foltondale, Jefferson county. Before 2023
right after this video there was an outbreak across easter texas into alabama lol
Not to mention that this is the second outbreak to happen in Texas in two months.
This year has just proven to have been slow where the big stuff's expected and very active when nothing's usually expected.
It's also funny to see this video pop up and, at the same time, see at least 3 or so different livestreams in my recommended for the Mississippi Moderate risk outbreak currently ongoing at the time of this posting.
2:43 was a freaking light show (this is why I love lighting)
There is some research that shows after these huge super outbreaks of tornadoes and huge tornado seasons there seems to be a 10 to 15 year decline in tornadoes after those huge seasons.
Tornadoes being rated EF4 or EF5 tend to be going extinct because of stringent and incompetent damage surveyors. They use every excuse possible to avoid giving a higher rating because of stupid contextual damage etc.
The money is destroying tornadoes.....
It doesn’t matter how much we know about forecasting or how advanced technology and our ability to forecast severe weather outlooks with models Mother Nature is going to do what she wants to do and doesn’t need our approval and doesn’t need to give us the reason why.
the way he closed window after lightning hit was hilarious
This didn’t age well.
What camera did you use to film this?
Around the time this video came out I was eating in the school cafeteria then all the sudden “SEVERE WEATHER IS HEADING DIRECTLY YOUR WAY SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL” replaying for like 20 minutes
I'm sure the people of Western Kentucky are hoping so.
As somebody who lives near places that got hit on 4/26/24, I can confirm they are alive and well!
I have only seen tornado this year, back in March near the community of Sawyerville AL, where it tossed trailer homes like toys before causing a fatality and multiple injuries, it was only rated as a ef2 though
Seems like midwest got all severe weather this yr. I love how when something happens ppl cry global warming climate change but don't realize tornados have been on downfall I mean haven't had f5 in 10 yrs
Whenever there's any kind of major weather event people cry global warming, hell people are saying the hurricane I've just been through could've been "prevented" what a joke.
@@DanteTimberwolf it's ridiculous yea it could been prevented I even heard it's being made purposely lmao. These fucking liberals far left radical democrats put all this shit in ppls heads to get them vote for them so they can print shit ton of money that goes towards climate shit and they pocket it. Trump pulled us out climate bill shit and now ppp are blaming him yea I'm sure because we didn't cut a check to mother nature she's unleashing disasters on us lol. Always same shit if it's hot summer they cry globalq warming if it's cold winter they cry some ice age shit coming it Always has be extreme
@@DanteTimberwolf I'd say there's multiple states tornado states suggesting not just since the change to EF-scale but even decades prior to La Plata have weakened drastically. Most particularly, the states of Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin have seen drastic tornado intensity reductions even though tornado totals are actually increasing.
1:30
"All we saw were a few bolts of lightning"
What do you mean "a few"?! It's more than I see throughout the whole year.
Never thought I’d see a day where I’m sad that something deadly is leaving earth.
Hello gamer boyo!
Perdy lightning! 2:43
Thanks dude, the 4k120 on the Sony A7siii looks soo good.
I have a suspicion another "Big One" is coming. Not record breaking but devastating and a monster.
@IRONPATRIOT1776 he didn’t say “I don’t think another big one is coming” so it ain’t jinxing
(Reads title) I hope so!
i love the Pecos Hank sighting
the Answer is "NO" buddy. (coming from April, 2023) My state has been targeted this month (Illinois). I Believe weather systems come and go in Cycles. meaning a tornado outbreak of Huge Proportions happens in 1984, in a specific state/place, then in 2020-2023 happens again in said same state etc. etc.
may 20th my home of Gaylord Michigan was hit with an EF3 and we are still rebuilding its mostly done but there is still home houses that are completely destroyed but main area where most of the damage is cleaned up
I live in Wisconsin on Wednesday we had to go in my schools basement during tornado warning ⚠️
And the tornado hit my school in greendale
So yea
Dude you gotta have the windows up when they're hitting that close [I see you put em up eventually] and those windmills are lightning magnets too..
I am an iowan. I hypothesize tornado alley has turned into average areas
As someone who lives in Alabama, they are becoming the opposite of extinct lol
yup Dixie alley has been getting far more active recently
Man I love seeing the May 17th footage. The lightning was epic. Pretty sure I honked at you while driving past on K18 lol. Great videos dude!
No way! I don't know what you drive so I probably thought you were a local haha, but thanks Dorian I appreciate it.
Are there any tornado events that had a clear blue sky sun shining, no warning. Our ears didn't pop, the sky never got green, and when my son, and I crested a small hill on Father's Day, in front of us were 3 small tornadoes.The weather never told us a chance of tornadoes, so I was amazed at seeing 3 right in front of us!
Where was this? Seeing 3 tornadoes at the same time is not common. Also, for your first question, no tornadoes don't happen on blue sky days however sometimes they happen on smaller storms and can have nice weather right next to them, look up the Ashby tornado from 2020, that storm had nice weather nearby.
my first claimed tornado sighting was back in may 21st ( monster jam world finals XXI )
The closed captioning is... odd.
Storm: [Foreign]
Audience: [Applause]
As someone who lives in tornado ally and had half my town wiped by one i would be happy if tornados went extinct, but i know its just the current weather cycle sadly
If tornadoes are going extinct then that's a good thing.
“yo why ain’t the tornado movin?”
-last words of a guy
Tornadoes def are not going extinct. What we are seeing is just unfavorable climate variations with NAO, PNA, AO, and especially ENSO. They have been highly favor western and central death ridges during peak season and drought conditions/drought have been increasing dry air aloft for every event that we do have. Dry air aloft is almost always the bust mode when it comes to our severe events in the plains. We will keep seeing our tornado numbers randomly going up and down but tornado alley will not be an avid producer of tornadoes until you can clear western drought or get an event with an unusually high abundance of moisture.
the turtle reminded me of pecos hank’s videos, then he popped up in your video. 😂
I'm giving y'all a like just for saving the turtle! Okay...you would have gotten a like anyhow, but thanks for saving the little dude..
You guys picked up that turtle the *exact* right way…it always makes me cringe when someone picks them up by the tail. That can easily cause a pretty debilitating injury and all your good will accidentally goes to waste. Back of the shell, people…they can’t bite you (at least not easily) and you won’t throw their little backs out by lifting their body weight via the tail.
The usual tornado prone areas are shifting. "Tornado alley" has shifted East. But a few years ago these climate fear mongers said that tornadoes are going to get bigger and stronger and last 5 times longer. Since then, there has been a record drop in tornado numbers and overall they have been less powerful.
this video didn't age well this past month has been ripping its ridiculous.
There are plenty of tornadoes to go around….twice.
I chased two tornadoes in south Alabama in early January but it’s been quiet even in Dixie Alley this year. I have experienced some of the most energetic storms that I can remember this year. There have been durations of 4 or 5 hours this year where I could hear relatively frequent thunder the entire time.
I haven't seen any new tornado lately it usually pops up on UA-cam and shows me a video of new tornadoes
Those thunder sound like the Roblox natural disaster 😂
This question didnt age well
Tornadoes going extinct is about the dumbest thing I’ve herd about wether on a chaser channel lol
My expectations for Colorado are low in terms of tornados but high for landspouts
I live in Colorado. This year was slower than usual for Colorado, but yeah Colorado gets more Landspouts than Supercellular Tornadoes.
@@highriskchris I mean the landspouts in Colorado are pretty stunning most of the time so I bet you will have some good shots in the future since your essentially living in the capital of landspouts, Colorado
Tornado ally is just shifting towards the east side of the Mississippi River
They do smell terrible. And he just picked up a snapper. I used to trap them and Celton had his hands in a danger zone. Glad that your pal didn't end up with a puncture wound, contusion, or infection. Even picking up those turtles by the tail they can leave claw marks in the sensitive part of the lower arm.
First, dinosaurs.
And now, LITERAL TORNADOES.
