“It’s gonna hit my house”
“no it’s gonna hit Nietzke’s” as an old man drives a lawnmower down the road.
😂😂😂😂😂
100% the most normal conversation in the south. Seriously though that tornado wasn't going to hit anything. They don't go from 0 to sucking the land flat that fast. It takes a significant amount of time to gather the wind up in cohesive updraft. Every single thing on the ground that blocks the wind can dissolve the updraft and cause it to jump around and lose its footing. If you ever see a "trashnado" in the corner of a building you can play around with this theory by taking some large flat object and slicing it through one side of the cone and it will cause the trashnado to collapse.
Lmao that guy wasn’t worried about anything 😂😂😂
The guy on the mower probably never noticed it!🤣
And yet people wonder why we still have so many tornado injuries and fatalities... If someone ignores a watch or warning and they get caught up in something, that's 100% on them. Warnings don't do any good when people ignore them.
Lawn mower guy was like, "Bahhh! I've seen worse."
Nothing stops Groundskeeper Willie !!!
2:00. That guy is gonna cut his grass, or die trying.
Lol
now *that's* dedication.
Well, needs cutting before the rain hits ya'll.
🤣
must be part of a Hispanic yard service. they cut the grass in pouring rain.. i've seen it before!
At some point you just reach a time in your life where nothing scares you, and you ride lawnmowers around in tornadoes.
Pops straight disrespecting the tornado riding his lawnmower 😅
Bwahahahahahahaha I bet that's why the tornado didn't hit him he earned the respect of that darn tornado for sure probably thought he has big Cojones lol
I _pray_ in my old age, I'll have half the gigantic brass orbs that old man has.
He drove in back and forth to confuse it
The lawnmower is the perfect storm chasing vehicle🤣
Mowing in a tornado with “Country Boy Can Survive” blasting in the air pods
You got it!
😂
Thanks for reminding me of that great song, dad used to play it all the time
Legend has it the guy on the mower is still mowing the sidewalk
I laughed so hard when I read this comment! 😂Because you’re right, he wasn’t even riding in the grass. Lol
Not everyone is a legend kid grow up u 13 year old
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Footballfan424someone’s mad over a joke
@@SCRIPTURlENT nah it’s just un funny and childish like u for example
Love that statement "We gotta go help". Glad it missed you guys...
I heard that too. Reminds me of my people
That ol guy was headed straight for it on his John Deere zero turn! A tornado can’t even stop him from getting his yards mowed!
Get in the house, but I’m gonna stay here and film this
Everybody knows the cameraman never dies! LOL!
The lawn mower guy is an absolute legend for mowing Casually moving the road with a tornado is behind him LOL
Old guy on lawnmower, “yep good day to mow my lawn during lightning, hail, and tornadoes all over the place.” 🌪️
😂😂😂
The guy on the lawn mower about took me out 😂
Props to lawnmower man. Probably making a beer-run on a suspended license.
LMAO
😆
Impressive video. My Aunt and Uncle live down there in Knoxville. They just told me about the tornado in Sunbright. Thank God that nobody got hurt. Buildings and possessions can be replaced. People are irreplaceable.
Lawn mower guy is truly irreplaceable
What's up with that guy on the mower!? Lol no f***s given
Making a bee line to his trailer house grab some fresh underwear🤣
lol when a tornado rolls through or your typical thunderstorm the weather temp drops and makes it perfect temp to mow. Rather than in the spring or summer sun
Southern man sees tornadoes forming, decides it's a good time to go 4-wheeling
Do you know you filmed a walking tornado? looks like legs walking so cool! only for a short time but was cool about 1:55 look close
I saw it now that you pointed it out. Pretty interesting!
The guy on the mower probably still hasn't heard the end of it from his wife, seeing him being dumb in broad daylight. Risking your life and risking leaving your family behind to continue riding on a mower with a twister on the ground, is madness.
Imagine it coming towards you, so glad yall were safe!!
Beautiful peaceful little neighborhood there... glad it missed you guys.
Nice catch! You did a good job taking video of it.
Great job on recording nothing but a funnel cloud 😂
@@williamknapp6521 Its on the ground doing damage so its not a funnel cloud. Not all tornadoes are clearly defined like what you see in the movies.
Sunbright a "sneeze" on hwy 27 NW of Knoxville TN for those wanna know
A sneeze or a breeze? 😂
I would much rather live in Sunbright than Knoxville!
dude on the mower is making me nervous.
That lawnmower guy😂😂
DWI Dave thought twice about that mower run to the liquor store 😂
Love that ending, we got to go help❤
I know I heard that❤ too, good neighbors.
I love ol dad at the end. It's too late now!!!!!! while the whole world hears him on video lolol
Who's the guy on the lawnmower.....the resident storm spotter? Probably could use one considering how close this tornado formed from your place. If not, I guess the guy on the lawnmower probably did not even realize a tornado was forming nearby. Pretty good video!
Maybe he was putting out the warning call, Paul Revere style.
I didn't hear storm warning sirens in the video soundtrack, so it's possible Lawn Mower Guy did not know what was going on up in the sky yonder behind the trees. But he did turn around and head back, so maybe he noticed something (other than that he was getting rained on). The closest tornado to where I live happened before we had warning sirens, and all I noticed (while I was out playing in the back yard after dinner) were some really strange clouds racing over my neighborhood. Meanwhile, five miles away cars were getting flipped and another neighborhood was being torn apart by an F4. One of the un-seriously injured victims recounted that she had just walked into her kitchen and looked out the window when that window exploded in all over her. Neither she nor her husband had any idea AT ALL that there was a tornado right there.
"Too late for that now!" lol
That could be my hubby on the mower. A tornado is coming and he keeps mowing.
Wow, actually an incredible video
God bless you brother. Hope you found everyone safe!
I had a hard time deciding what to look at, the tornado or the lawn mower man. Either way, thanks for posting the great footage!
We are so glad that everyone made it through all if this. We where lucky only power out till a little after 3am. Thanks for posting.
Im in Lincoln county TN and we had rotation here a couple hours ago..A question.....is anyone having tornadoes in your area but not hearing the sirens? We have a siren a street over from us that is tested every week but never sounds when theres a tornado in the county.
I'd try & contact EMA think it's state or some county officials to let them know.
@@suemccann2010 Thanks 👍
Great footage. Now i know more about it. The news would never be this detailed
I was porch spotting too today and saw some crazy looking clouds in southern Indiana. cool video👍
Good job only footage captured of this one I’ve seen thus far.. I’m glad it didn’t hit youns.
Please pray for them 50 people lost there homes
Nothing runs like a Deere! Glad everyone is safe. Lawnmower man is my hero, my dad would mow in any weather too
The guy mowing his lawn is definitely from oklahome
That lawnmower 😂😂😂
Riding lawn mower guy = LEGEND!!
I grew up in tornado country. Most people think a twister happens when it storms but, they usually form from very hot humid weather when a cool front hits, next thing you know you have a funnel, followed by a storm.
Great capture 👏 Glad your home was safe. I was happy to see it move across your northwest sky. Multiple vortexes
Sweet good footage! But what’s the mower man up to 🤔
That updraft went right into the Rotation
Meanwhile... During the tornado, Grandpappy decided that he should get the ole lawn mower out and take him a little scenic drive ... 😮😮😮
I love how Hank Hill on the mower just drives by likes it's a sunny summer day. lol
Did anyone warn lawnmower man?
No. He still mowing
He said "hello" to the tornado.
Nah he from Oklahoma he fine
When the lawnmower man looked over at the guy filming like “Want me to mow your lawn?!” 😂
Everybody is talking about the lawnmower guy but I'm still stuck on "We gotta go help" ... "Too late for that now" 🤣 I feel bad for laughing
Glad it missed you Hopefully you made it thru the damage area to go help.
Didn,t that very tornado just miss McMinnville I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DOCUMENTARY!!!!!! There better be one
Hello Spur! Stay Safe!
That is excellent! Thank you. Mother nature is both beautiful and devastating at times.
That was so cool that he said “we gotta go help “ 👍
Glad you guys are safe!
Glad they were spared❤
My sister could be scared but that isn,t garr-1:22 NOOOOOOOOO
My niece lives in Sunbright. I hope she and her family are ok. 🙏🏻
Doesn’t the water boy know that a lawnmower is a terrible thing to be on during a tornado ?
Hell no😂. There are hillbillies here who don't give af
Crazy! These vortices just look like the one a few weeks ago, the video where the guy filmed it behind the barn etc
Pretty neighborhood.
Here is a story for y'all.... when I was younger,
Yeah I've been studying up a bit on these things and they say many people fall for the fact it might be clear skies right there... But I'm starting to notice a pattern that many form right on the outer edge. Heck, just look at El Reno from all those different angles. You'd swear it was a different storm on all of them.
The way they form is eerie.
Don't mind me folks......just taking my mower out for a walk during the tornado🤣
The mower guy is fearless!
Anybody just wake up at 11:06pm and turn on UA-cam because you couldn’t sleep with the storm outside?! Stay safe everyone!!
The guy on the mower “Welp, need to do a u-turn” Lol That tornado almost landed right on him.
That dude on the tractor... How can people be so unaware of mother nature?
I think the guy on the mower is more afraid his wife for not getting the lawn cut then the tornado
These storms are so unpredictable!!
This here lawn is gonna get mowed down by me or that there darn torando but dag-nabbit, its gonna get mowed 🤣
Lawn mower guy is gangsta.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nice reverse jinx there buddy you played it to perfection
"BOB! There's a twister coming, get the lawnmower! "
Them mower dude is totally unfazed
Where is this?
east tennessee
Very good Video
Only a dad would be out taking a nice ride on the mower. Getting a better view of the tornado
Good thing he's not a storm chaser.
That storm was moving fast!!!
I experienced a power outage here in West Virginia on the same day.
I would NEVER by a home above ground where 🌪️🌪️ happen!
Gotta get the grass cut before it hits😂
Tennessee!!!
Were gonna see plenty of them this year, I do believe
The guy on the mower - my house might get demolished but at least the grass will be cut!
The guy mowing omg hilarious
i live in ky and were about to get one!
what city/state is this?
Sunbright, Tennessee
Old man on the mower feeling all that wind blowing wow this new mower is fast
Lawn mower man saw the opportunity to allow the RFD to carry his grass clippings to the neighbors yard.
We’re you at Jim ?
That law mower guy does not seem moved at all!!!
Dont worrie about the house it can be replaced your family cant be replaced keep them safe
Who is the Legend on the mower. I gotta know. Prayers for all those who lost their homes, in Salvations name i pray you be provided for in all your needs during this time and until you can find a place to he settled again once more, Amen
I’m glad I live in Washington State, we don’t have to worry about Tornadoes.
It’s extremely safe here. Unless of course another mountain erupts or an earthquake and or tsunami hits, it’s really safe here in Seattle..
