- SKYDRAMA.NET | On June 29th, 2024 a unique setup drew me out the door along the Illinois/Indiana border where I thought a pretty summertime thunderstorm might do something a little weird. Still, I never expected what happened that evening as multiple funnel clouds descended from the sky around me near Hoopeston, with a long-lived landspout tornado touching down and traveling slowly across the open farmland into Indiana for about 15 minutes allowing several close-range passes. What a year!

Like your attitude,observations, and passion for weather and adventure,cool channel and stay safe out there.
Appreciate ya!
That was a God moment, just you and something very special because you were probably the only one searching that day. Amazing!
Sure felt like it!
@@AndrewPritchard I had an experience like this a couple of years ago. I was coming home from work and about a mile before I got to my turn the landscape really opens up to where you can see good distance and there was this wide lowering that looked really suspicious. I took my camera out and as soon as I took my first pic lightning shot out the side of the lowering which looked to be all the way down on the ground so I knew this could get serious. When I was a kid a weather enthusiast told me if you ever see an elephant's head with his trunk curled up on radar you have a tornado coming. Sure enough I opened up the weather channels radar and there was that elephants head. I took a screen shot and sent it to a friend of mine who I grew up with that works for Channel Two News in Nashville and the crazy thing was he and his daughter were chasing the storm. That was a God moment for me. Be careful out there brother.
"Really cool" indeed!! Very photogenic chase. Thanks for not staying home to listen to the Cub's game 😄!! Win/win. 😊
A little Cubs game on the radio summer drive never hurt - and if it ends in a storm, great! Otherwise, I know where to get some great ice cream!
I have some pretty incredible photos of this storm as it passed thru central/eastern indiana! It was so incredibly hot & humid that day & we were driving back from Richmond, IN when it came thru! Great chasing & I love your enthusiasm. Subbed!
Very good video, Andrew! Some funnel clouds -interesting sights and you get that landspout tornado 🌪️-all in an area where there weren’t u supposed to be any twisters 🌪️! 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you!!
Great video, beautiful footage. I love the surreptitious use of time-lapse. It must be quite meditative going on a chase like that because when you stopped it was so peaceful and it was just you, the landscape, some birds and that huge sky. Thanks for taking us along for the ride 👍.
It was! It was almost certainly the most relaxing evening that involved a tornado that I've ever experienced. No thunder, no rain, no roaring wind... it was so incredibly quiet and still. Many storm chases are draining, this one was very rejuvenating. Thanks for coming along!
Nice catch!
Thanks, Chris!!
Good call on chasing that day! I see some of the coolest storms when nothing is usually predicted for those days. Everything from storm convergence producing funnel clouds to barely visible tornadoes in a QLCS to water spouts up on Lake Michigan.
They're sneaky good days to get out if you can. It's not an exact science, but it does feel like on some of those sneaky, quiet days without big severe weather parameters you're able to gently get some very cool storm scenes. It's hard to want to follow the hunch and get into the car sometimes when no one else is talking about chasing or severe weather, but it's worth the shot!
Oh wow! This is footage is just amazing!!!!
Thanks for watching!!
I was on that same storm as it was approaching Indiana. It. Was still producing small funnels in my area. We picked up a larger storm coming down from the north with more spin until sunset.
Really pretty storms that evening.
Curious. There is a type of Landspout that forms almost perfectly vertical under a high cloud base and then there are these land spouts which come out from the edge of a cloud and then bend (curve) to become vertical when hitting the ground. The "two guns Arizona" landspout is another good example of a curved landspout. Has anyone tried to explain this distinction? Is the distinction worthwhile?
this was me as I watched a storm form an extremely photogenic tornado in S WI last July
awesome!
Chat he is unstoppable

I was born in Lafayette Indiana. But basically grew here in Alabama ❤
Lafayette is a great city! I have actually still never been to Alabama! Been to all the southern states except that one for some reason.
A few years ago I started noticing "watches" on my weather app from NWS about "conditions favorable to produce funnel clouds, but no threat to turn into tornadoes". In my over decade of having a weather app, I had never seen those before. Is that a new type of watch? Was this day one of those days with that watch?
You're probably referencing 'Special Weather Statements' that come out sometimes before cold air funnels or events similar to this - you're right, the NWS is trying to alert to these in a gentle way a bit more in recent years. They're relatively common events in the spring and summer in the Midwest and can strike anxiety in some, but they're often harmless (cold air funnel clouds).
@@AndrewPritchard ahh yes, special weather statements. Did that day have one of these special weather statements?
Is this type of tornado even going to be on radar?
Good question - usually, no. And in this case, no. I went back and looked and other than faintly seeing the boundary that the storm/funnels were forming on there was no evidence of a tornado just looking at radar.
@@sunsetdev Yes! Colorado is king for this type of thing. Photos of a beautiful tornado hit social media and then you look at radar and it's like... HUH? You don't always need a big powerful thunderstorm to stretch some vorticity!
