It's not a real tornado unless Reed Timmer is shrieking like a schoolgirl to call attention to himself while simultaneously violating every traffic law known to man.
I completely agree! The silent approach really lets the visuals take center stage, making the experience more immersive and powerful. It's surprising that more people haven't upvoted it yet. The quality and intensity of the footage are truly remarkable. This video deserves a lot more recognition!
I couldn't agree more! The visuals are absolutely breathtaking, and letting the imagery speak for itself makes the experience even more powerful and impactful. It really lets us appreciate the raw beauty and force of nature.
I completely agree! Lincoln did an amazing job capturing this footage. It's some of the best tornado footage I've ever seen as well. The clarity and intensity of the scenes are truly remarkable.
Multiple-vortex tornadoes are scary as heck to watch. Thanks for uploading this video, and thank you for not shouting a lot. The video speaks for itself. Stay safe out there!
Good grief, I love the fact high def cameras exist. Videos like this fall flat on their face 20 years ago, but today, it’s so spectacular to watch and listen to tornadoes in great detail. Stunning videography. 👍🏼
Fantastic!! I’m sure all the compliments have been given but I’ll pile some more on if that’s ok with you! 😊 First, the visuals are incredible. With a great zoom and some distance we got really amazing close shots and from a distance the structure shots were also incredible! Next, the audio. THANK YOU for letting us hear it!!! No yelling, no musical accompaniment - just letting us truly join you in the experience. I’m a new sub and hope to be able to ride along with you guys again sometime. Again, THANK YOU!!! 🙏
Incredible footage! I live in the Omaha area, Lincoln, and will never forget April 26th 2024. The Lincoln/Waverly tornado touched down less than 2 miles from where I live.
Great footage! It's just unbelievable how fast and big they get! I was born and raised in Eastern Iowa and have been through 2 tornadoes. They fascinate me but also strike terror. Stay safe out there!
Great camera skills in the moment. I've seen footage from a good number of chasers in that line, but this is hands down the best quality. Awesome work and congrats on bagging the big one!
On this day I got split by the two tornadoes. I was in downtown Omaha when the Elkhorn tornado touched down. The Minden on I watched on local television. This was one of the worst storms I have ever experienced. It was on either side of the town I live in (Council Bluffs)
Thanks for the superb footage. You bravely drove into wind I would estimate around 90-100mph from the trees. A lifetime of hurricane encounters has given me a fairly usable estimator for steady state wind speed.
From '62 through '67 we lived just outside of Gilmore City Ia. That entire area is laid out in 1 mile square grids, every mile you passed through a crossroad. We lived exactly between 2 crossroads. Dad should maybe had his butt kicked but he had me as a 6-10 year old standing/kneeling multiple times 2 strides outside the cave storm shelter watching tornadoes pass between us and the crossroad. 1 was identical to this one. Since then I recently rode out cat 5 Michael in the eastern eyewall, nothing man-made on this earth-below a nuclear weapon-is as powerful as nature. Nothing. This was a beautifully captured event, powerfully without the added noise and senseless danger.
Absolutely! It’s incredible how they managed to capture that moment. Tornadoes are so powerful and unpredictable; seeing one up close must have been both terrifying and fascinating. The footage really shows the raw force of nature. Did you notice how the landscape changed almost instantly? Nature's power is both awe-inspiring and humbling.
Absolutely stunning footage brother. As other commentors have mentioned I love the lack of commentary. Just let me listen like I was in the back seat, awesome. Wanted to be sure to leave a comment for your metrics this deserves a lot more attention than it seems to be getting at the moment. Keep them coming, new sub here for sure.
Great video. I am most impressed by the proper camera exposure during Tennant, IA. I was three vehicles ahead of you and half my footage is blown out lol!
Thanks! The contrast between the tornado and the sky behind it there was insane. Couldn’t believe how many phases it went through during its life cycle
We were honestly thinking the same thing. Whole afternoon felt like a blur by the time the sun went down until I was able to go back through all the footage
The line of cars you were following headed for the storm reminded me of cattle unloading from a trailer at a processing plant.............one after another headed for their final destiny. Also noticed how many cars went to the houses to check on people.........there's some real humanity there!!!!😵
amazing footage!! Really highlights something I only recently discovered, that tornadoes are not just one big spinny funnel, but can often be several in a tight rotating pattern around, or many permutations of such.
I have seen a lot of footage from this tornado and I was shocked at how many people were chasing this storm. Almost to the point of to many causing congestion of vehicles making it hard to travel along roads, putting other chases lives in danger. I'm glad to see no one was hurt.
Lincoln...I hope that you were capturing this footage from a tank. I couldn't help but speculate that you appeared to be within the tornadic wind field. Great footage...best I have seen. The "ride-along" footage at 7:19 is "off the hook!!"
superbly done, in what must’ve been some tense moments for you because it could’ve dropped a new vortex right on you! all that debris flying around certainly didn’t help things! keep up the good work!
I am baffled it only got an EF3 rating, considering the evident insane speed of the rotation and the way it moved. I do know that the EF scale takes damage into account , but we can clearly see the Tornado obliterating a construction and that did not seem EF3 damage to me....
What am I missing here? Why does it always appear to be cars just driving by and there is a huge Tornado in sight. Are there people that are really that oblivious?
Really amazing footage. I wondered if the reason you never stopped to film was because of the speed across the ground of the tornado. Was it moving so fast you couldn't stop without losing it?
Amazing footage. Around 3:20 on it was ‘dead man walking’. Nice to watch some footage and actually get to hear the sound of the storm and not some dude yelling “VIOLENT!!!” a hundred times.
@@kishensookoo7815 Possibly, but unlike Bridgecreek/Moore and El Reno, peak speeds in Greenfield were only experienced for less than a second. They were recorded so it's a new record?
I felt so sorry for those towns in SW Iowa. One (Marinars, maybe?) got hit twice by the same storm (2nd tornado) and one got hit as badly in the outbreak 10 days later.
At times, it looked like the wall cloud itself tipped over onto the ground. An "isolated" wisp of RFD "scud" would blossom, in the wink of an eye, into a vortex attached to the general circulation. Some heavier bits of debris would "aggravate" the surrounding air into generating yet another vortex. Some vortices would lay down on the ground, to become long-lived horizontal vortices. This just has to be one the more mystifying beasts that you've yet chased.
Im from California and I have family in Iowa, Des Moines and Waterloo area. I never experienced weather in CA like there is in Iowa. My mom used to say tornados will not strike between the fork of two rivers.....well thats not true. Our lightening is a couple of strikes and then its over. In Iowa it goes on and on, and then being glued to the TV watching for tornado warnings and watches...your storms scare the crap out of me.
Tornado was luckily warned well in advance of this video. We mostly only chased this over wide open country, but there was a large presence of chasers traveling down our same route making sure that everyone was accounted for.
@@KaileyB616We did not come across any residences that needed immediate attention, so we never needed to come to a stop. Unfortunately the tornado did its most significant damage in the town of Minden, which was prior to us meeting it along the interstate.
No yelling/screaming, no unnecessary shock value. Just raw, stellar footage. Thank you for posting!
No yelling and screaming because it was all muted lol
Bang on comment right here. Lends to the ominous of it.
It's not a real tornado unless Reed Timmer is shrieking like a schoolgirl to call attention to himself while simultaneously violating every traffic law known to man.
um.. 6:01..
@@pesto12601 Really? "Lookit, OMG" is yelling screaming? LOL.
I love all the comments about not shouting. I was in this tornado. It ripped the roof of of the building we were in. I was shouting.😵
Great video. Love that you don't need to talk (shout) and just let the images speak for themselves. Amazed it doesn't have more upvotes.
Yes!! Amd the wind noise is not overbearing
Reed is gonna yell at you for this comment

Great work, Lincoln. Some of the best footage of a tornado I've ever seen.
Thank you!
I agree with you. The speed of the clouds, the inflow/outflow jets, and the multiple vortices are the most detailed that I have seen I have seen.
It’s a multi vortex tornado wow 🙀 ❤
The tornado is so scary, nothing can stop it
I completely agree! Lincoln did an amazing job capturing this footage. It's some of the best tornado footage I've ever seen as well. The clarity and intensity of the scenes are truly remarkable.
Incredible job capturing such a monster of a storm!
Great footage without all the screaming and cussing. Thank you!
Why do I feel that all the „screaming“ comments are a less than subtle jab towards Reed Timmer?
4K video really takes it to another level.
20+ years of watching storm chase vids and this one still left me in complete awe 💯
Multiple-vortex tornadoes are scary as heck to watch. Thanks for uploading this video, and thank you for not shouting a lot. The video speaks for itself.
Stay safe out there!
But this one wouldn't kill a human. It's weak
@@kpruitt222 literally sees shit flying all over the place but wouldn't kill a human... ok
This was actually a rather strong tornado, rated EF-3 with DOW recorded wind speeds in excess of 200mph above the surface.
You can see the moment it gathered speed, when the two vortices became visible. Such a beautiful, terrible beast.@lincolnhauser
@@kpruitt222 What a weak ass comment
Incredible footage. That circulation at the end of this video was so rapid it was hard to believe that it wasn’t ‘sped up’. Good stuff!
that was insanely fast rotation. also the clouds surrounding it were unusually low to the ground... very impressive
This needs so many more views. The complexity of the ground circulation forming from 5.00 mark is stunning.
Good grief, I love the fact high def cameras exist. Videos like this fall flat on their face 20 years ago, but today, it’s so spectacular to watch and listen to tornadoes in great detail. Stunning videography. 👍🏼

Truly overwhelming footage. I designed some of the tornado models in the film Twister.
Thank you! That’s awesome!
You figured out you don't get "twins" from a larger tornado splitting apart, right?
@@minissa2009😆
Did you really?? I read Storm Chaser when i was 10, then Twister came out so i wrote Warren Faidley 😊 he was so kind and responded with a postcard ☺️
Geeze at 3:30 it looks monstrously scary.
This is by far the best footage I've seem with this tornado. Well done!
Incredible footage! I live in the Omaha area, Lincoln, and will never forget April 26th 2024. The Lincoln/Waverly tornado touched down less than 2 miles from where I live.
Great video, sir. Thank you for not screaming all the way through it. Glad you stayed safe. Really impressive multi vortex.

WOW!!! The best video I've ever seen on a tornado!
4:50 - 5:40 That was some really beautiful footage there, the sky, the farm in the background getting hit, the trees, awesome.
Hearing the sounds of the storm 7:35 brings it right in the room. Awesome video.
Great coverage, and no screaming or hooping & hollering. Thank you for sharing 🌪️⚡🌪️⚡🌪️⚡
Absolutely gorgeous. Great job capturing that.
Beautiful piece of work! One of the very best footage here on UA-cam.
So awesome! Was able to just enjoy the video without all of the yelling and screaming and dramatics. This was great man! Spectacular job!!!!
The howling of the wind at & 7:40 is epic!
It was really creepy, but fixating.

You know you're too close when the circulation is right over you lol. Great footage.
Excellent footage, Lincoln ! Multiple twisters doing a ghostly dance around the central core is quite the sight.
Thanks & be safe
This whole video is surreal man. Great footage, it's sad that it hit populated areas. What a monster.
Sounds like a mic was set up outside the car..... One of the best Sir, thank you!!!
Incredible footage. Tornadoes are so fascinating.
Amazing footage! They caught a tornado going wedge right in front of them.

@ Me neither, I’m not 100% convinced it was all the same tornado given how fast everything was cycling that day. Legendary stuff.

This is amazing footage. Amazing views of the size of this tornado. Unreal
This is beautiful. Very artistically filmed. To witness such majesty!
Starting around the 5:00 mark……Is the video sped up? I’ve never seen an entire meso rotating that fast. Ever!!
Absolutely incredible video my friend.
Nope! All in real time. The motion really was incredible. Some very high wind speeds were recorded.
@@lincolnhauser absolutely incredible. Great capture
Beats anything Reed does. No screaming. Thank you!!
your creativity blows me away!
Omgsh this footage was unbelievable !!! Scary, thank you!!!!
That was really some spectacular footage. Wow.
Wow, definitely some of the best tornado footage I’ve seen!
Thx for not screaming like others
The cloud movement looked like it was sped up. Incredible.
right!?? it was insanely fast!
amazing footage!!
Really highlights something I only recently discovered, that tornadoes are not just one big spinny funnel, but can often be several in a tight rotating pattern around, or many permutations of such.
No hysterical screaming. Great job.
"we gotta go we gotta go" - wiser words were never spoken
This is amazing footage. Like Pacos Hank type footage. Yall did great!
I have seen a lot of footage from this tornado and I was shocked at how many people were chasing this storm. Almost to the point of to many causing congestion of vehicles making it hard to travel along roads, putting other chases lives in danger. I'm glad to see no one was hurt.
No unnecessary talking is perfect
What a Beast!!!
Tornadoes absolutely terrify me.
Looking at this scene, I remembered that last year my family also experienced a catastrophic tornado and my house was completely destroyed.😔😔
Hypnotic, fascinating and genuinely awsome footage.
That’s beautiful footage!
Excellent footage

... and the lack of screaming and Drama is refreshing, as many others pointed out
That is some wild footage!
Amazing footage! And the rotation is unlike any I have ever seen.
Monster! Great video quality and no unnecessary talking or yelling to ruin the experience. Excellent job!
Ty for your service
Amazing! Best tornado video I’ve ever seen! Thanks for sharing
Lincoln, at about 07:50, did you hear the RFD screaming through those powerlines that day? It must have been pretty loud, like a theremin on steroids!
This is beyond stunning! Great work!
superbly done, in what must’ve been some tense moments for you because it could’ve dropped a new vortex right on you!
all that debris flying around certainly didn’t help things!
keep up the good work!
Love the video... no screaming.... perfect
At about 4:17, is that a second tornado, a cone. or just a really big internal vortex?
Looks like a multi vortex. I thought I saw up to 4 but definitely 3 but it cut too quick to be positive😊
I am baffled it only got an EF3 rating, considering the evident insane speed of the rotation and the way it moved. I do know that the EF scale takes damage into account , but we can clearly see the Tornado obliterating a construction and that did not seem EF3 damage to me....
How the heck was the condensation from the RFD THAT low? It looked like it was less than 100ft. I've never seen anything like that......
I think it's a Multi-vortex wedge tornado bc there's suction vortices circling and it's wide.
INCREDIBLE footage 🌪
What am I missing here? Why does it always appear to be cars just driving by and there is a huge Tornado in sight. Are there people that are really that oblivious?
I swear Americans are just suicidal/oblivious to collosal tornadoes right in front of them!🤔
Just watching the entire sky rotating before it took shape was just bone chilling. That alone is terrifying
This is amazing and terrifying footage some of the best ive seen great job
THAT TORNAD IS SPINNING SO FAST UNBEALIVABLE FOOTAGE OF THIS WEDGE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
That tornado is spinning so slow. It's an EF 0
Beautiful footage. That would be so mesmerizing!
Wow! Camera technology has sure come a long way over the past 20 years….incredible!
Really amazing footage. I wondered if the reason you never stopped to film was because of the speed across the ground of the tornado. Was it moving so fast you couldn't stop without losing it?

Was that the Greenfield tornado that was said to be the most powerful ever recorded??
This was actually about a month before the Greenfield tornado, that one was on May 21st. This was in the same general region of Iowa though.
@@lincolnhauser ohhh thanks for the clarity bro but do you believe the Greenfield one surpassed Bridgecreek and El Reno?
@@kishensookoo7815 Possibly, but unlike Bridgecreek/Moore and El Reno, peak speeds in Greenfield were only experienced for less than a second. They were recorded so it's a new record?
@garymackey850 ohhh kk but still 300 MPH is a freak of nature, that's like totally awesome
I felt so sorry for those towns in SW Iowa. One (Marinars, maybe?) got hit twice by the same storm (2nd tornado) and one got hit as badly in the outbreak 10 days later.

How fast are you going?
Was this the one that ended up hitting Greenfield? Appears to have been a long track tornado. How long was it on the ground?
