    I was flying across the country from Philadelphia to Phoenix on this day. We flew around this storm. Before we left Philly the polite said we might contend with storms on the rout. We went just north of this at 36,000 feet. I'd guess the cloud tops were 50,000 feet

  • @mattkowal90

    The wedge tornado that passed from SW of Dimmitt to NW of Dimmitt was on the ground for 4.5 miles, was 1.1 miles wide, and inflicted EF3 damage with winds at 140 MPH. Homes that got hit sustained EF2 damage, irrigation pivots and power poles were twisted and broken, and the EF3 damage was to a heavy metal building that was well-constructed. Most of the tornadoes in this video are pretty easy to rate since they were either open fields or snapped power lines, which is usually indicative of EF0-EF1.

I've lived here 43 years and this has never happened but I feel were gonna be like moore oklahoma now. Its found us and now won't leave us alone. I have a cellar thank God but was not in it when it hit. It hit 2 blocks down from where I live. It was night so I couldn't see it. It destroyed some businesses but the business next door to them is untouched. Tornados are so strange.

    tell you the amazing part of your video that you literally captured. At 5:02 the "green light" flashed....this ALWAYS CREATES VERY TUMULTUOUS WINDS-STORMS...then backed with a Powerful Blue Light...aka Project BlueBeam. Caught the weather machines/technology in action. I've seen this more than once & know as soon as it flashes, which I don't advise to be exposed to (standing outside)...it is painful. Suddenly whipping winds very concentrated to its own area erupt....even temperatures will suddenly dropped &/or increase dramatically. This is knowledge known for MANY Years. So whenever you see this....keep the camera rolling & watch what it creates. Nice capture...!!! thanks for sharing your video w/us

    I know the videos can be dramatic but storm chasers seem to try and get closer and closer to these things.
    With the "storm chaser convergence" in these types of events ... the casualty count can do nothing but go up unfortunately.
    I see too many examples of chances taken. The laws of averages have to catch up to chance vs. common sense eventually.
