Incredible Iowa Tornado Shreds Corn Field
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- On 7/14/21 a tornado outbreak struck parts of Central and Eastern Iowa. The first tornado touched down by the town of Stanhope and morphed into a rope, then a stovepipe, then an elephant trunk, and finally back into a rope. Towards the end of the tornado's lifecycle, it turned into a drillbit tornado with strong motion. Thankfully this tornado did NOT impact any houses at peak intensity. Then later on I intercepted a rain-wrapped tornado that damaged the town of Dysart, IA.

Extremely clean, top-tier footage. Thank you for not screaming during the footage and also for ensuring everyone's safety. Take notes, other chasers, this is how it's done professionally.
Soooo much more enjoyable to watch when the chaser isn't screaming his head off!
Totally.
I know right
There’s something so ominously majestic about seeing a tornado just hovering over the earth, tearing apart everything in its path.
9:28 There are some seriously beautiful images in there as it crossed the road. Black sky, white tornado, green fields, purple flowers. It's like something out of the Wizard of Oz.
This has to be some of the best camera footage I've seen you sir are definitely a professional in my book well done
Well done indeed. 👍
Thanks for the great footage! You allow the rest of us who can’t get out and chase to see the power and beauty!
Great footage and great commentary, letting the event happen with out spoiling it. Good fricken job!!
I’m forever impressed with the fact that you DRIVE towards the tornados 🌪
Keep in mind they are off in the distance.
@@chocloditelensman I drive a 2003 Jeep Wrangler and a little bit of wind makes my Jeep feel like it is going to be off the ground. I can’t imagine being anywhere near a tornado with that lol
I live about 10 miles from the Stanhope/Jewell area and it was insane listening to the police scanner during the storm. Thank you for capturing this incredible footage!!!!!
I have been binge watching your videos and I'm severely disappointed on why you don't get the views you deserve, your footage is absolutely AMAZING. Extremely high quality. This stuff is amazing, beautiful work!
I really appreciate that! Glad you’re enjoying the content! Much more on the way!
regarding the first two it was like the tornados were having fun playing in the corn field and the trees..then it seemed like they were caught off guard by the houses and either leaped over or took a drastic turn away from the houses. it seemed they just wanted to have fun playing in corn fields..what kid didn't want to play in the corn
I am impressed at what a good job you did staying in position and (mostly) keeping a safe distance. I am surprised at your age, because this looks like a video from a seasoned veteran. Well done.
Thank you!
That is funny how you mentioned the smell of the air. I stopped on hwy 20 west of Waterloo before all of the went down to get out and assess a forming storm cell. I mentioned how you could feel the thickness of the air, and smell that a tornado was going to happen. Once again tremendous footage.
That's very interesting. Can you describe that for us who can't go chasing?
@@Midnight24435 like being by the ocean
@Autistic Engineer absolutely
@Autistic Engineer I was unfortunate enough to be in the tornado last year in spartanburg sc, as I was sitting in the parking lot at an ingles grocery store when it came by, and I know the exact thing you are talking about, it was raining pretty hard and you couldn't see much then all of a sudden, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, the air felt thick, and it seemed as if the sky was a greenish brown color, then all hell broke loose, throwing actual shopping cart corrals around ( what you put your carts in outside), which is what hit my car and did a few thousand in damage. Thankfully no one was seriously injured, but I will never forget that experience, it scared the hell out of me.
Hi Freddy, As many have mentioned, your coverage was outstanding. I'm relatively new to watching storm chasers, and it's the first time I've watched a video by you, but I sensed something special in this coverage. Thanks so much. Stay safe out there all you brave storm chasers!
Notice at 4:18 the tornado skipped the house probably someone in that house had to been praying
I agree.
Absolutely insane top tier tornado footage. I noticed you were respectful and (mostly) obeyed all traffic laws and were very restrained in your commentary. And yes it did look like the Dalton-Ashby storm! This could have easily gotten ef3 if it had hit populated areas.
I appreciate it and I try to obey the laws, especially when it comes to stops signs and any kind of intersection. My #1 priority is staying focused on the road because I know there’s people around me who aren’t.
@@FreddyMcKinney thanks for the reply man. Do you have advice when it comes to renting a car for storm chasing - e.g. which insurance to get from the agency, whether rental companies commonly “catch” people using their vehicles for storm chasing ETC?
I’ve actually never rented a vehicle before haha. I’m 19 so I don’t think I can if I wanted to, but these are some valid concerns.
@@FreddyMcKinney only 19? You’ve got an awesome future in meteorology / storm photography if you want to pursue it. Best luck man stay safe out there 👍
I was in the middle of a tornado near Waverly, Iowa that day, I was traveling on us218 and there was a touch down less than a half a mile south of me and rotation right above me, and idiots stopped right under the rotation, I'm like gtf outta my way, I'm outta here!!!!!!!
killed me with the "alright super spotter" lol
I'm really impressed by the police presence, they are keeping a really close eye in the tornados!
What, are they going to arrest it???
@@1DirtyMutt
They would IF they could 🤣
But, mostly they are there to catch someone falling from it 🤔
@@1DirtyMutt the sheriff's department keeps an eye out of the location and reports it to dispatch so that it can be announced on the radio. Plus they can be first on scene if there's a house hit by a tornado and look for injuries. In Iowa we appreciate our sheriff's departments.
This is probably some of the best footage I've seen when it comes to tornados in Iowa.
Awesome to see the power of nature but terrifying at the same time, hope no-one was injured or lost their home!
Wow, gorgeous footage. Terrifying and thrilling at the same time. Glad y'all are safe!
Absolutely incredible footage! I can not remember a single video I’ve seen that has such clear video of the vortex where it meets the ground. Really gives perspective of actually how violent these things are where they meet the ground. Good effin job d00d.
That rainx is good stuff..
Try it on your glass shower doors works wonderful
@@Morpheus187 Nice hack....Stop those damned minerals from sticking around..
@@Morpheus187 Almost forgot to mention my shower/automotive hack..Spray on car wax works well at keeping the tile and plastic walls shinny and clean..
4:13 holy that house lucked out
This is the reason farmers plant trees near and all around their houses 🥰
It confuses little twisters by getting them caught up in the branches and inducing a jump over the house 👀🤪
Big ones are never fooled as they just move the trees 🤔😭
They made a deal with the devil for that
@@boobtubeakatv1296 very interesting! i figured that the trees played a major role in why the house got skipped over. very cool info!
you guys have the best footage i have ever seen of a tornado. ive been so curious about them. born and raised in east texas and never seen one.
I'm really glad that this screen is the closest I've gotten to a tornado. I was thankful that work sent me East of the Mississippi that day. Most of the storms petered out by then. I literally just got seated for my first work order when the rain and winds hit. On my 2nd or 3rd job same thing, just 10 minutes after starting to work the deluge came. Barely needed my umbrella!
Thanks for showing the actual speed of the tornados 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️
Awesome chase and capture. That may appear to be a thin rope but it's rotation speed was definitely an F4. Just like Ashby-Dalton last year. This thing would have sliced straight through a barn or flung a pickup truck casually across a field if it had struck one of those things. Glad no one was injured or worse.
Yes it could’ve been much worse!
This is the best video I have ever seen on tornadoes. Outstanding job gentleman
@Carleen Wernimont yes sorry it was a typo. Thanks for notifying me of the mistake
These things are very haunting over fields and open areas. They often look very small and innocent, but when houses and other objects enter the picture you get a reference point, giving you the true size of the funnel and dangerous zone. Very scary
That debris cloud was so greeen! How awesome!
I was at summer camp when these tornados were coming down. It was the night of our "transfiguration ball" aka our dance party, everyone was inside and the music was pumping so loud so that none of the little kids would hear the rain or wind. We didn't want the kids to know about the tornados but we weren't able to send them to bed, because they would have to go outside to get to their dorms. So, we partied into the night until it was safe for them to leave. Us older kids knew about what was happening and it was kind of creepy, it went from pretty sunset to completely black as the storm clouds rolled in and the wind picked up, and we just tried to pretend that nothing was happening. It was summer camp, there were no tornado shelters out there. Luckily all we got was some heavy rain and some decent wind, no damage to anything. Still a scary experience, and the little kids still have no idea of what actually happened.
Is it normal for people to be driving around, doing errands, while a tornado is doin' its thing beside their vehicle?
What incredible footage!! That was some of the best I have ever seen. You guys did a great job. Stay safe!!! You definitely have a new subscriber!!
Wow, the debris cloud was so green because of the corn!! RAD!!
It’s the same at a NASCAR race “Gee, I hope everyone is ok in that crash.”
One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time. The colors were perfect. Nice new windshield. Hope there wasn’t much damage. I was down south when this came around.
Was coming home to Urbandale from Dubuque, and barely missed this. Did see a storm chaser fly by us on I 20.
Nicely done! Great video and I really like how conscious you are of safe driving. Wish more chasers would follow your example. Ive had some ugly encounters with super spotters the past few years here in Oklahoma. Well done Freddy, looking forward to seeing more from you!
I missed this one. We had the choice between this cell and the cell that went through Lake City. We chose the Lake City cell, but we missed the Lake City tor. Got an elephant trunk west of Gowrie IA. Great footage!
Freddie, I followed you on that chase while you were streaming live. Awesome!
I have never before seen a tornado with loops in it 😳 great footage! Stay safe!
That’s awesome, never saw where there was ropes twisting into knots then straightening out again. Awesome work.
Awesome chase, poor corn field, lucky houses
One of the most beautiful places on earth. Home. Very nice job on this video. One of the better ones that I could ride along with.
Best tornado footage ever! 🌪️🏆Those are views you never see on youtube. And such clear shots! Great job, stay safe👍
Cornado!
Aww shucks!!
It was hungry
Wow! This is the closest I feel I've been to see a tornado. You're a brave person, I must say, but I appreciate all you go through to get this coverage. And yes, I subscribed immediately :)
Thank you!!
“Very tornado-ee looking” - had to watch the whole thing after that! You speak my kind of lingo!
Congrats . Probably the best tornado chase of the year ...very similar situation as last year's Minnesota tornado .
Great video,when i was long hauling (in a trucker) i took photos of an f3 coming down onto the back parking lot of the t/a in limon Colorado, got pics of lightning and everything hitting the jolly truck stop in texas,7 miles outta Wichita falls, 1 f3 and an f5 on the ground 1 mile apart and i was in the middle of it,it was a rush,scary and absolutely amazing..seen tornados cross freeways as well...
splendid and surprising video, the vortex at 5:32 is incredibly virulent and erratic wonderful 😍 That's a very good job guys sincerely congratulations on this incredible video 👏👍✌️
The close-up of it on the ground was Kool!!
It is no way in the world I would have been chasing any parts of this tornado. I remember back in the middle summer of 2018 it was a tornado that touched down here in the Chicago area on South Chicago.. The sirens were constantly going off my daughter had to go too work downtown Chicago. We were on lakeshore drive we both could see the funnel clouds and was scared to death. The weather alert were going off over the phones I just was nervous out of my mind. I did make it to get her too work I have never driven so fast on lakeshore drive to get back home. Never ever again would I take that chance she just kept saying " Mom I can't call off." Please people don't mess with mother nature it had all the rain, hail, and winds to go with it I turned on the TV and that's how I found out it had touched down in South Chicago. From where we lived it would have only taken seconds to move in our direction never again...
@Carleen Wernimont thanks for your feedback I agree you are right. Stay safe and be blessed..
when it's incredibly tiny on the ground I almost want to jump into it. Looks fun!
Can’t be REAL storm chasers…you didn’t shout, “TORNADO! ON THE GROUND! VIOLENT TORNADO!” at the top of your lungs every five seconds. :)
Wow! That was cool. Made me a bit nervous tho 😓! Please take care..n keep yourself ALWAYS on the ground
day of days! amazing footage, man!!
Thanks Mike!
This tornado makes me want to walk up to it and touch it. If only that was safely possible Nice capture!
Seemed like Iowa was a hot spot this past summer for tornados! My parents live in Keokuk county and had like 3 times with tornado warnings. None ever hit in Sigourney but came close.
@ 1:39 you’re driving directly underneath the funnel.
Well done if only you are driving and filming.
Thank you, you kept your cool, it was a pleasure to watch.
Absolutely perfect footage!
A fast way of shucking corn. Great video. Cheers.
I'm amazed at the destructive power of what looks like a "cute little tornado" early in the video; it reminds me of the dust-devils I grew up with in the desert but much more powerful. I guess just because you can't see debris flying, doesn't necessarily mean anything.
Did you see God just protect that house? How often do we blame Him when things go wrong but forget to thank Him when He does something amazing like that? Praise God!
Wow usually don't see footage this clear, good job sir.
I wanted you to stop for a few minutes to smell, feel and hear the tornado - not get blown away by it but to feel the ground for vibrations. You made some great video footage, and I'm glad you were safe. Good work, thank you.
I live in Iowa and that was a very scary time for everyone in Iowa.
I'd rather del with Earthquakes any day verses Tornadoes .. I'm in awe and cant stop cringing
Great footage. Looks like you got some rain-x on your glass. No need for wipers over 30mph
Yeah I did and I wish I didn’t have them running so fast but it’s hard to think of everything when solo chasing 🤷♂️
I was storm chasing near dysart and vinton aswell and boy was it a mess with all of the rain
Just a giant washing machine lol
@@FreddyMcKinney yeah I was playing ketchup with the storm when it dropped the tornado on dysart and when I actually got there the rotation died on top of me and another one formed to the south so then I went onto that area of rotation and it dropped a tornado and I saw it
The finger of GOD spared those houses. It looks like the main shaft went down and split in two and spun around a central axis.
Amazing video of the actual speed at the bottom of the tornado. Wow.
My friend, weather enthusiast, as I am, and chaser, chased this one as well. He put a photo of the tornado around the 11:53 time stamp on his newly published calendar.
Good job!!!!. Gidday from Melbourne, Australia !!!!.
This is throwing off some twister movie vibes 😭
Clinton IA here. Great work & God bless
Great footage and commentary. There were 26 reported tornados that day in Iowa!
The smell that's what I remember from the only tornado I've ever witnessed.
Thank you to those who foolishly risked their lives to give us this level of Education
Beautiful footage!! Thank you for not doing a screaming commentary like so many chasers!🙄🤦🤣 This was so good!
Its def a shredder!!! That is some violent motion!
Wow! Nice views. I have lived in Iowa 65 years and I have never seen a tornado.But I don't look for them, either.
I'm so impressed your footage through the chasing. 👍
Great video!! Thanks for not screaming as u narrate like some one else we know.
Absolutely amazing! You gotta be driving a truck to be carrying around balls the size of yours. You did an outstanding job. You kept a perpetual state of awareness, excellent 👍
I’ve always wanted to see a tornado and I live in the area but I was gone when this happened. I’m so mad haha
Well it's a corn shuk'in nado..
best tornado footage I've seen
Nice vortex breakdown bubble with single suction vortex action. With the long ropey funnel and the vortex breakdown bubble it looks like the Jarrell Tx tornado in the early stage before it blew up into a wedge
That was the best and coolest videos on a tornado
Don’t let it all go to your head. You did capture the Big Picture. I can say that only 9:06 into it, and I had to comment. Nice work, and way to be there for that one.
So I live in Iowa and the reason I didn’t know about this is cause I was on vacation with my family in New Jersey for a week so I’m surprised I finally see a tornado for the first time in the whole 11 years of my life/time I’ve been in Iowa
Wow near the end of the vid the debris cloud is actually green from all the corn. Nice job! We came from WY and missed that by 10 mins ugh but got real close to the one in Dysart.
Wow I’m sorry that really stings. You still did a great job getting on the Dysart tornado! It’s kinda scary knowing there was a big tornado just lurking in there.
This is a FANTASTIC tornado video for our state! Great work sub'd & liked
those elbow vortices in the funnel are fascinating
At 3:50 it's amazing how a skinny tornado can really tear up the crops!
2 minutes in and im pumped to see a new hugh quality chaser. SUBSCRIBED and looking forward to more. Thank you and stay safe fellas!
When it "skipped over the house" that was some paranormal stuff 😳
It's pretty common for tornadoes to jump around like that which is why you always have to be on alert, it could be 100 yards in front of you one second and then BAM right ontop of you the next.
@@AFellowDoktuh I have heard people feel like tornadoes "see" them the way they do that. Like why the 50 feet the house takes up? Crazy it was going strong it was in there yard! By acting in the manner you describe it's almost like it makes choices 😳
@@AFellowDoktuh scary scary stuff!
@@DavidStirm really you just gotta break down the science behind why tornadoes jump around. A vortex which is what a tornado is has no mind of it's own, it's really just a swirling mass of chaos and chaos has no direction and can't be predicted to put it lightly.
@@AFellowDoktuh you really think I believe tornadoes have a mind of there own? I wouldn't think so but then again you or I do not know that. Maybe there's more behind tornadoes that you can understand or do you clam to be all knowing. You definitely sucked all the excitement out of it for sure.
Just INCREDIBLE......THANK YOU!
