As a child, I saw up into a funnel cloud that developing. I went inside and told my parents, they of course didn't believe me, until after the fact that it went a few miles north and destroyed some homes. That must have been 50 years ago or more... I looked it up, 4/20/1973, I guess my memory isn't that bad.
An unforgettable memory!
Same. My dad took a video but the year was 1999 so it was on VHS. In 2017 I got a USB TV-Tuner & VHS player to digitize all our old home videos but either the footage is unfortunately missing or I was away during that part so don't know in what video it may have been. There was roughly 40vhs tapes.
🥺
im pretty sure someone seeing a tornado would never forget no matter the age
Totally believe you as I have seen such a thing 2 maybe 3 times. First time as a child then the other time(s) as an adult. each time was more than just a visual experience. It was a chilling,creepy sensation esp when the sky casts that foul orangey-green color and things become very still except for thunder. It's bizarre and unforgettable.
6:16 is some of the most unique tornado footage ever filmed. That 20ish-seconds belongs on the all time top 20 minutes of tornado footage ever filmed. It might be the best video I've ever seen of being directly under a forming tornado. Congrats Freddy. This is truly historical footage.
Thank you! Glad we were there to capture it
oh man!
@@FreddyMcKinney it almost resembles a hurricane in the sky with the eye! amazing footage dude, keep up the good work!
My goodness Freddy, that view from underneath the funnel is fascinating. Great video!
No, that was Galactus in that old Fantastic 4 movie.
Fascinating indeed!
And a huge portion of luck that it didn't touch the ground again...
@@stevesherman1743 😂😂😂😂
Great footage! I've looked directly up into two tornadoes in my life: the first, I was 5, in Springfield, OH in 88 or so, and climbed out the crawlspace to find my cat and my mother. I came upon my mother in the back doorway looking straight up, and I remember the sky was an emerald green as I looked right into a rotating mouth of hell right over our house, bobbing down, then up, then down, then up, like it couldn't decide whether to eat us or not. It eventually shifted towards our backyard as the seventh siren of the night went off, and it ate our barn.
Incident two: I'd sprung my knee lifting an incredibly fat patient and was in bed to rest it. I am now living in NC, which gets tornadoes, just not the frequency I'm used to after living in IA, OH and OK. I hear my husband yell with a bit of a crack in his voice, "baby!? You really kinda wanna come lookit this shit!?"
I heard the panic in his voice and hobbled to the front door, looked where he was looking (straight up), and he asked "darlin, is that a tornado?"
"Yup." I then raised my voice towards my boys in a rebel yell. "BOYS, RUN! NOW! TO PAPA'S! DON'T GET YOUR SHOES, JUST FUCKIN *RUN* GODDAMN IT! FUCKIN *RUN!* "
My husband said, "guess that answers my question-- you need help with your knee?"
And I just replied "FUCKIN RUN! DID I STUTTER!?"
@@MegaKat Emerald green means that no matter if that funnel cloud didnt feel like being tornado it wouldve came straight down still cuz green always means tornado or hail storm
For such a minor tornado, the footage was incredible.
Yas I argree
I agree too
It's always the irrelevant ones that put on a show
Man, the driver is such a G. Good team work guys.
For real he's the best. Thank you!
Glad to tag along. Thanks!
@@FreddyMcKinney That's scary. You could get sucked up into the funnel. 😬
I saw exactly that years ago when I lived in southeast Georgia. I was outside looking up at the cool swirl in the sky like a dumb kid while everyone was inside wondering what the dumb kid was looking at. Then the tornado warning happened and we spent the next 20 minutes crowded inside a tiny bathroom while the tornado moved on and never touched ground.
That was incredible! I really love this kind of freaky weather, but I don't see myself actually chasing storms due to a multitude of reasons (main one being me living in Europe where there is not that many weather extremes going on). Due to that, I am even happier about people documenting it on UA-cam etc! I just found your channel yesterday and DAMN you do it amazingly! Reminds me of my Pecos Hank binging times HAHA
where in europe do you live?
Earl Grey Tea!
@@ultimateearrapechannel31 Germany, I know it's called the "tornado capital of Europe" but there is actually not much happening here
@@earlgrey3148 Hey, freund, just because it's a rare thing, doesn't mean it will be "never." Be alert to local weather conditions, learn to look for the correct radar echo, _stay safe,_ and maybe you'll catch one, one day.
Glad you're enjoying the channel Earl! If you ever find yourself in the USA there are plenty of storm chasing tours where you can spend a week out chasing storms on the plains.
I'll never forget. Tampa, Florida. Standing in the parking lot after work, storm going overhead, a couple of us looked up to see a "whirl pool" in the rain clouds and seeing blue sky through it. Looked down and everyone with me was in their cars peeling out lol. It never became anything, but that was the wild.
Growing in Iowa City I remember looking straight up and seeing something very much like that. Just a spinning vortex. At the time I didn’t realize it could become a tornado.
I like that both of you remained calm and focused. No screaming, panicking, or hyper-excitement. That’s so annoying in some of the other storm chasers.
The big names gotta ham it up for the cameras unfortunately.
Imagine calling someone’s excitement for loving what they do “annoying”
@@badumtiss5288
Imagine being naive enough to think that someone else's subjective opinion is wrong.
@Ba dum Tiss It's quite possible to find a person's reactions annoying. In fact, I think your comment was annoying.
@@mephInc When did I say it was wrong? Opinions aren’t facts, therefore they can be neither right nor wrong. HOWEVER, they can be stupid. And it’s my opinion that it’s stupid to criticise someone for what they love.
Incredible footage. I’ve never seen a nado from the bottom. Pretty wild to think that if you strip away the condistation and debris that surrounds a tornado, its just an invisible vortex
A whirlpool in the sky, if you will.
@@jeffreyjeziorski1480 Sky noodles of destruction
What is condistation???
@@finwasfound con-di-sa-tion......accumulation of water droplets.
@@jeffreyjeziorski1480 condensation or condistation
"here we go bud!"
Nothing less than amazing Freddy and John, an amazing team! thanks for putting in the effort here, masterfully done!!
I found your account 1 hour ago and I've been binge watching your videos. Subscribed about 20 mins ago and already a new video has been posted 😂. Great work man. I love these videos❤
That's pretty good timing haha welcome to the channel!
@@FreddyMcKinneyfound your channel yesterday. Watched you ever since
I love the camaraderie you have with everyone you run into. Very wholesome. Keep up the good work brothers!
Will do thank you!
“At last the great shaggy end of the funnel hung directly overhead. Everything was as still as death.” -Will Keller
man, what a remarkable upskirt
What an amazing shot, something that chasers have been trying to get for decades and this guy captures it in the corner of his screen while focusing on debris!
From one fellow Nebraskan to another, great video. I’ve never seen that before and I watch a lot of tornado videos.
Iowa has really produced this year.
@@johnmckinney4128 It sure has, especially SE Iowa.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite storm chasing channels on UA-cam. Stay safe out there and keep up the good work!
Will do thank you!
Thanks! Great shot, Freddy .
Thank you so much! Are you the Jasper from the TVN days?
@@FreddyMcKinney . Same One Freddy. The good ol days. Take care. Will be watching you chase.
I have actually looked up inside a weak tornado before, it gets your attention to say the least!
Great video! Always wanted to know how it would look to see a tornado very close in its first stage.
Thank you for taking us along Freddy. This is fascinating & mesmerizing. It would be an excellent video for a class to dissect for meteorology. Your narration skills are eloquent. Your driver and you were so in sync with each other as well. Very professional video. Stay safe…
Thanks for the kind words Jennifer! Will do
That was some really awesome cloud and rotation footage. Storms are so amazing.
I’ve seen straight up into a funnel and was amazing, I cannot even describe it. It was deep, we could see up pretty high in to it.
Did it look like this video?
@@garrettgarcia2592 pretty much yes, but the sky was clearer that day and it seemed a bit bigger. Of course it was in person and right over head so hard to compare, but it was like looking up into a swirling column of clouds. It was like a religious experience! I was at the mall in Dallas and the radio said the police were following a funnel cloud down NW hwy from University Park towards NorthPark mall, so I parked my car in the parking garage and ran out to watch. I joined half a dozen people all looking up and it passed right over head. It was no longer a funnel at that time. I’ve never seen a tornado but years later we had one that followed a similar path, weather comes from the West here in Dallas. I did get to see a funnel in Galveston one time. I’m not a storm chaser.
Damn, that was amazing. It was like the tornado was looking right back at you.
Since the father is pretty quiet all the time I guess this is a father supporting a awesome hobby of his son.
I love it. Great video by the way.
I try to support but sometimes get in the way. Thanks!!
@@johnmckinney4128 I thank you for your very much for the quick answer.
But just to let you know...
I have never got an answer about a comment I made this quickly overseas.
Great stuff and very well-equipped camera footage that I saw.
( Your son has a very cool hobby )
Rest and I shall see you soon. :)
That's amazing.
I'm obsessed with weather, specifically tornados and tsunamis.
Living in South Africa, I've never seen a tornado as they are very rare here. We had one in 2016, was very freaky weather that day, I never saw it, but I most definitely heard it, I thought it was a really bad hail storm heading our way, but it veered off to the north east thankfully. Was only about an EF 1 or maybe 2, did some damage but thankfully no one died.
Great footage guys.
Glad you stayed safe. Nature is very fascinating indeed. Thank you for watching
Belíssimo Compartilhamento São Imagens Impressionantes Que Maravilha é a Natureza
Whenever I watch these type of videos that always inspires me even more because when I’m an adult, I want to be a storm chaser just like you guys I think it’s fun. I also love storms. I always go out and come in soaked.
Yeah is Fun!
Bro you deserve the success. I love the editing on your videos and how its more than just raw footage. I also love how the editing does not take away from the footage. Keep it up!
Thanks man will do! The grind don't stop
June of 1983, I was out bike riding one afternoon. The sky was very dark with storm clouds. I looked up and froze. There was a funnel cloud with an open bottom like an upturned cup and i could see partway inside it. It was so well formed it looked solid. I realized what it was, got kind of scared and went home and called my mom at work. She freaked out and said hide in the tub. Then a big hail storm started. An hour later, the funnel dropped into empty field east of us.
Oh my god I never thought I’d see my parents house in one of these videos haha. That first gravel road and first home to the right. Insane!
That was the vortex of the tornado, very impressive, but the storm cell itself was equally impressive IMO.
Well done. Being from New Zealand where tornadoes are comparatively rare things to see, never mind chase it was quite cool to see the birth of one from right underneath it.
That was so much fun. I love weather. Thank you for the video.
Wow. I've seen a few shots looking right up but this by far is the best. The time lapse shot is just haunting.
That was just so cool and I'm glad you were there and shared it. Thank you.
Anyone notice that Freddy kinda looks like the Sherminator from that movie American Pie?😂
I was thinking the same thing! Haha
amazing footage, hope your channel grows!
Thank you!
I saw this in Wichita KS on the campus of Wichita State many years ago. There was a tornado warning with the sirens blaring, and everybody was being hustled into the basement of the student union building. I went down, but curiosity got the best of me, and I slipped back outside. I looked up and saw a funnel from beneath very much like this. It started dipping down but fortunately dissipated before it came down and ruined my day. I hustled back to the basement. I've told people since it was like being an ant on the bottom of the bathtub watching the swirl of water starting to form up above.
6:19 Incredible footage. Up close and personal!!!
What a beauty! Not too often you get to see clouds doing that above head
You're the man, Freddy! Pops passes the vibe check as well; handsome gentleman. Keep up the great work & stay safe out there.
Thank you so much!
You guys nailed it! Amazing work. Be safe!! 👍
Wow, this is nuts!! Excellent footage guys.
That is amazing. Had a gustnado form just feet from me and hit, hunkered down and held my nose to keep my breath… dust devil about six feet wide hit my car back half at 90 degrees and lifted the rear off the road. That tops those-looking straight up the swirly straw. Oak leaf cluster moment. Awesome and thank you for sharing
That’s the best kind of tornado, photogenic and not damaging.
Amazing! I feel like a fool because on Saturday, April 22, 2023, In Mooresville, NC I watched a confirmed F-0 go over my house. I could see the rotation very similar to this where there was no condensation funnel. Then the lower part to the ground rolled past the house. My first tornado EVER, with my phone sitting 3 ft away with me gawking out the patio door. Go fig.
Seeing such fast rotation is allways mesmerizing. One of the biggest dangers in watching such storms. Even if it doesn't look like it, it can already be on the ground and throwing debris at you or wreck your car. It's always already on the ground before the funnel is really fully visible. In this case though, it seems they were safe as the tornado was already dissipating. Fascinating stuff, thanks for the great footage.
1:28 -- That rolling streamwise vorticity current in that shot is one of my favorite parts of this. Looks like it lost its steam right as the rotation was starting to ramp up and it all just sort of fell apart there.
That's when I thought it was going to drop a more substantial tornado but like you said it fell apart
I've heard stories of people who looked up inside a tornados vortex to see and continuous web of lightning, rotating around a single point of ball lightning. Tornadoes are amazing and terrifying at the same time.😲😱
it looks like Galactus! I was once stuck in traffic during a bad thunderstorm and I saw the clouds swirling above me in almost that manner, and I was really hoping no tornado was going to form over me while I was a sitting duck in my car.
This. This is the kind of chase we all want. Amazing capture, guys. Job well done.
It's so nice to not have 3 guys all yelling "Oh my gosh" for an hour straight.
THAT... was freaking awesome! Thanks, guys!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent footage! Great work!
Epic whirlpool! Good job you looked up.
Looks like a micro hurricane from below.
You’ve answered the question we’ve all had since kids.
“What’s it like in the funnel?” 6:30
What a great video - glad I found your channel!
Wow, this is incredible! First time I've ever seen footage like this. Must've been terrifying to get so close to a tornado like that. 😮
Good captures you got.
I used to follow them occasionally, and some times had to speed up to like 90 just to keep up with em.
The sheer size they pose, is staggering to behold.
Always think twice before deciding to make a move, can save you from harm!
Good hunting!
A rare, one of a kind video you have there! Thank you
I live in west-central Missouri, an hour north of Springfield and in 2019 I witnessed my first actual "tornado" forming. Right over my house. My weeping willow tree still has twist damage done to it from the winds as the rotation intensified. I saw exactly what you showed in this video. The tornado eventually formed, touched down and did minor damage along a highway north of town. Was rated as EF1. Unfortunately this same storm cell eventually moved south to Springfield and was part of the reason for the Duck Boat disaster on Table Rock Lake.
I was in Springfield that day and watched the storm passing overhead. I was convinced it had tornadic potential--didn't know it'd already dropped one. Probably one of my favorite storm-watching experiences, up until I found out about the duck boat...
Never seen footage like this!
Thumbnails don't get much better than that. I like how you whisper or speak with hushed tones, as if hunting quarry.
Amazing footage.
Dude that is amazing! Thanks for sharing
Looks like the best father-son chasing team ever. Great footage.
Wow what a view of that tornado Freddy, Great video!
I love the whispering like the tornado can hear you
*whispers: go go go*
Fantastic edit and chase Freddy
Thanks Reed. It wasn’t quite your Cole, OK chase but still a fun chase
“Wanna get closer?”😂 I would have been like, NOPE!
You guys are brave!
Fascinating work. Good job
Great video! What a shot you guys got there! All I thought of is, it looks like a big bung hole in the sky.
OK, the editing is perfection. Subtle background music.. Perfection.. And it's NOT CLICKBAIT. It's looking into the center of a tornado!!
Thank you!
Wow!
That was incredible!
Eye to eye with the funnel cloud...👌👍
Wow. Every year, I see more and more tornado footage that I thought I'd never see in my lifetime.
Really makes me think of tornados like eddy's in a river when you see it from this perspective.
Interesting perspective!
Clarity like that would seem to only be possible if the funnel is not making contact with the ground. All the dust, dirt and debris would obscure the interior of the rotation. Fascinating and a one in a million shot!
Rare footage. Skill in chasing and camerawork evident here. I've been told that occasionally you can see blue sky out the top of the vortex if it's a big and powerful enough tornado and you're in the perfect position below. Have you ever seen this?
DANG! You guys are GOOD! Ive had several very close calls just like the one youre looking straight up into!!
I saw something just like that in Tulsa OK in 2004 and I couldn’t be happier to be leaving at the time because that storm was scary.
Nice story to tell I don’t really want to do the math to see how old you are but I’m happy that you still have your memory. I’m still a kid so of course I have my memory but anyways.
When I was a kid (southern AZ) I used to spend a lot of time in the spring chasing dust devils around the neighborhood on my bike. I had my goggles and I'd put myself right in the middle of the vortex. Some of those could get pretty strong. I never lost the fascination with them. Chasing big ones like always held some appeal but now I'm content to just watch the footage online.
Once in a lifetime sight. Amazing you got it on tape
Amazing video! Keep this good work up! But stay safe!
Toilets are white poop is brown I liked my own comment cuz nobody else wanted to!
I don't know whether to be fascinated or terrified
Had similar thing happen in my own home town out in the country had a tornado literally beeline it towards the town and the moment it reached the old fair grounds it vaporized, did a super Russia doped Olympic jumped over the entire town was epic watching it swirl as it went over head went really slow too as though it was puttin on a show. When it made it all the way across to the other side of town it touched down again and went on it's merry way. Couple months prior to that had one racing towards town then out of nowhere it pulled almost two 30 degree turns and went right down the highway in front of our town, after it got in front of town it started to book it too probably was going 30-40 /km/h was like it deliberately was pushed away from the town and did not want to be here.
Dude I have to admit that your cameras and equipment are awesome! Idk what kind of lenses you're using but it looks like I'm there watching with the naked eye.
Thank you! I filmed most of this video with a Sony A7 IV
Clouds look like the four horsemen of the apocalypse
A kid in charge of others lives while chasing in the passenger seat. Truely incredible.
I once looked straight up into a funnel cloud in the 90s. It was something few people get to see.
I seen that so many times living in Alabama. Tornado comes over the house just like that and you see the rotation of it, just for the sucker to drop on the other side of the road and yeah, it scares the living heck out of you, but what are you going to do? There are no basements in Alabama, and when you are in a trailer, well, that even worse.
Wicked vid. Incredible POV!
6:17 Wow thats crazy, it looks like a black hole complete with event horizon :)
Just be careful out there. Thank you for the awesome video.
Thank you will try!
real life twister, this sounded crazy
My home state, always hurts to see it so destoryed.
But amazing to see a EF4 again
