So often amateur videos are much more pleasant to watch than chaser videos, this wonderful footage being a prime example. No screaming, no obvious comment like "this is violent, on the ground, gotta be an EF5, oh my God, power flashes" etc. Just a steady video of an awesome, beautiful meso cyclone, wall cloud, and a gorgeous twister.
I don't mind calm observations sometimes power flashes are difficult to see on camera at times from varying quality and lighting but I agree chasers take it too far. Especially basehunters
This is probably one of the best tornado videos I've seen, and I've seen lots of them. Thanks for not screaming and talking throughout the entire video, for keeping your camera relatively still, not zooming in and out a million times etc. In other words: your video was enjoyable to watch.
This is a great video that I can show to people when explaining how fast a large tornado can rush up you. When it's coming at you, it doesn't look that fast. But when you look at it from the side, it's kinda scary

Excellent video.!! Shows the rotation, how fast it's moving, and being far enough away, the realization that you are lucky, but the devastation to others is on your mind.
Wow! I don't know how I missed this video! Great capture of the sound. Great overall video! I'll never forget that day. Trying to rush to get home to beat the storm not realizing that there was a big tornado on the ground
Building codes will be drastically changed in the near future. Especially the Amazon Warehouse...built in tornado alley with that construction?...not anymore, hopefully.. DelTec round houses fare better than rectangular. Passiv Haus will do even better. Rammed earth ad built partially in the ground...future new designs and materials will be everywhere. Better planning too. Mercy and care bestowed on the dead and injured.
@@gracewoodard9134 This was the April 2015 Rochelle- Fairdale EF 4. North Central Illinois. Farther north than Edwardsville near St. Louis . Rochelle is roughly 25 miles south of Rockford, which is 18 miles or so south of the Wisconsin state line near Beloit The problem of the Amazon warehouse is the building design. Tip up concrete panels that fail when the roof is torn off of such an open space building. Same thing happened to the Home Depot in Joplin . I think all those warehouse type buildings should be constructed with solid reinforced poured concrete.
@@Og-Judy Good observation. Most of these warehouse buildings have a 25 year life. Put up fast, no thought of the changes happening in the climate or extreme weather events. Most building codes, weak. Building into the ground in the mid west makes sense. Slab foundations on the surface don't. The peel off of roofs says it all that you mentioned.. They are built to be temporary. Like the word Depot...a stop off place, not an end. Round structures do better in tornado prone areas...Deltech homes survive hurricanes...better engineered...but only one of many innovative companies that consider extreme weather. Trick is to get commercial building to retool. Need demand and distribution.
Good on you for staying cool Derrick! I've chased storms for 6 years now and I can't imagine watching on while standing on MY porch. I can assure I would of filled my trousers MANY times over in the span of this video. Great footage.
I totally agree Crooked^^ I thought for sure when it went behind those trees 🌳.....it was gonna pop out coming straight at them!!! I literally had my hand up 🤚....I was very relieved to see a magnificent tornado 🌪 not seeming to hurt much while we all watched it^^ At mad props to the guy who filmed this!!!👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌👍👍👌👌✌✌ You had both guts & kool under pressure unlike your wife who sounded like she was calling the whole city! I do hope it stayed out of any residential or town areas tho...& noone got hurt.
If I'm not mistaken, this was the Fairdale tornado that started in rochelle. I remember seeing it on the news when I was 12, and it was a monster. It was shy a couple mph of becoming an EF-5
You've captured by far some of the BEST tornado recording anyone has ever taken. This is on par with the Ashby MN footage alongside other tornado videos. Great work!
I'm beginning to think the best indicator of a strong tornado is a fast moving, barrel shaped mesocyclone and wall cloud. At least in the plains states.
That's AWESOME (I'd probably shit myself if I were to see it in real life though. I panic at the slightest breeze, I can't imagine how it would be to see THAT)
Man you f***ed up. You didn't scream the obvious 76 times so I had no idea what I was looking at. Just kidding lol great footage I'm surprised it doesn't have way more views. One of the best examples of inflow into a mesocyclone I've ever seen..

Great video of a (terrible) tornado with amazing structure. Look at that inflow. The RFD from that sucker must have been something else. Footage of this storm is always fascinating because this tornado was so, uh, photogenic?
You guys were so lucky! That bad ass was moving. Too bad it hit Fairdale head on and trashed that little burg. Clem Schultz was dang lucky that day. Too bad he lost his wide. RIP Geri Scultz
Isn't this the same tornado that Clem Schultz was caught in, and his wife was killed? I'm totally blind, so that's why I'm asking, because I remember how quickly that tornado caught up with him when he was upstairs in his room, and he saw that thing coming right toward him. He was mesmerized! If anyone knows whether or not this is the same tornado, please update the comments. Also, just in case you're wondering, I'm typing this myself by memory and with help from my trusty text-to-speech software that tells me what I'm typing. This way, I can correct my mistakes as I go. Thank you very much in advance.
after first minute andba half my attention was drawn to the other funnel or funnels that looked like they were going to drop one as well, especially at 6:15 or so. Im wondering how this turned out, betya this one got bigger and long tracked. geez i hope not but..

But he does try to make them more dramatic than raw footage would be by the way he talks and the horror movie music he adds to them in the background.
Still not annoying though like the original post said.
*cough* reed *cough*
agree! the weather beat videos are so annoying, the way the woman screams and hollers

Scary thing is that beast was moving at nearly 60mph, so even if it were 4 miles away, you'd have just a little over 4 minutes to get to safety.
Insane. I was in Lake county so a few counties over. Wish I knew it would be there so I could of seen it.
This is a great video that I can show to people when explaining how fast a large tornado can rush up you. When it's coming at you, it doesn't look that fast. But when you look at it from the side, it's kinda scary
I am a storm spotter from Southern Illinois and I am mesmerized by this video every time. I watch this video a lot.
I was stuck in my truck, outran this beast by a few seconds along with a cop. Great footage
Do you have such footage?
Definitely a scary situation to be in

How fas were u driving ?? That damn tornado was moving atleast 70 mph !!
@@greatriffishere I mean even a half decent modern car can easily go 90mph+
4:30 in INCREDIBLE footage of it picking up speed! And the shot of the rotation.....amazing🤘
5:40 There is a crazy amount of inflow feeding that thing.
It's like cloud that's following it or hypnotised into following it in a strange way! 😂
Excellent footage! You cam see inflow and rotation very clearly
Fun fact: if the tornado looks like it isn't moving, it means you've seen someone with this comment on a tornado video at least 50 times.
I definitely have
😂😂😂 so true.
And it’s not even a “fun” fact
@@adamsbriee6330
It’s only fun if it doesn’t destroy your house
I love your sense of humor! funny factoid.
Look at the rain-free storm structure! It's perfect!
Impressive video...very well shot and the storm structure is amazing.
Fantastic footage! You were actually able to tell how fast the tornado was moving because you were so steady. Amazing!
Excellent video.!! Shows the rotation, how fast it's moving, and being far enough away, the realization that you are lucky, but the devastation to others is on your mind.
One of the best tornado videos I've seen. You captured the whole system.
Wow! I don't know how I missed this video! Great capture of the sound. Great overall video! I'll never forget that day. Trying to rush to get home to beat the storm not realizing that there was a big tornado on the ground
Excellent. No screaming or shouting. Awesome.. Thanks...
Great footage Derrick. Thanks for taking the time to upload
Oh my goodness, that structure is amazing! Thanks for sharing
Look at that inflow....from 2 directions at the same time. No wonder it was such a monster
BTW, you have nice siding on your house.

Awesome video of the tornado's evolution!
One of the best vantage points I've seen! Nice job!!
It's amazing how you can hear the roar

Somewhere around the 6:30 or 7:00 mark is likely when the tornado was doing high end EF4 if not EF5 damage on Richard Rd and Kuehl Ct.
Incredible footage!! It intensified SO fast.
Great video! Scary. Perfect view. You did an awesome job.
Solid. Like that paint/stain job on that house or barn lol
Underrated tornado. Maximum sustained winds of 200 mph, the amount needed for ef5. Did the damage too.
201 mph is needed to be an EF-5
If I'm not mistaken, this was the Fairdale tornado that started in rochelle. I remember seeing it on the news when I was 12, and it was a monster. It was shy a couple mph of becoming an EF-5
Cameraman never dies
What a show from your front porch.
And it went that-a-way! I would be freaked out just living in an area like that. I grew up down south. Ferocious.
That is an impressive looking tornado
Impressive inflow.
You have such pretty land!
Excellent video.Well done!
Great job on the video.
Extraordinary footage. Shows how powerfully fast they can go!
Nice farm, looks idyllic.
Insane video!
Wow, you caught the birth of that Monster. Fantastic video..
Beautiful video of a very fast-moving and very dangerous tornado.
Incredible video👍
Amazing watching the inflow its like a invisible air just feeding the beast fuel
Great video. Im relieved you didnt get hit because that was one violent tornado. God Bless
The entire sky is turning counterclockwise!
It’s a mesocyclone
Oh my so amazing. Beautiful footage. I want to see a tornado so much..
Have you lost your marbles???
That beaver tail at 5:40 remind me of tuscaloosa tornado
You've captured by far some of the BEST tornado recording anyone has ever taken. This is on par with the Ashby MN footage alongside other tornado videos. Great work!
Amazing views of that monster wow
Good catch!
This is insane!!!
I'm beginning to think the best indicator of a strong tornado is a fast moving, barrel shaped mesocyclone and wall cloud.
At least in the plains states.
Do you have a beautiful property. I live and a metro area and I would love to have land like that. And I’m happy you guys are all safe
Nice work.
That there is a very dangerous tornado look at the flow and the in and out of the beaver tail..that thing was a pure monster!!
Impressive footage. 🤓👍🏼
By any chance did we call 911. Tornado on the ground!?
Wow great footage
Very Good Footage.
Im soo glad that u were spared from that beast of a storm......also, i cant believe how fast that thing is moving....got to be at least 50 mph.
It was 4/9/15 filmed in Chana Il.
торнадо!
That's AWESOME (I'd probably shit myself if I were to see it in real life though. I panic at the slightest breeze, I can't imagine how it would be to see THAT)
Hey they are predicting a above average tornado season for 2021 so keep your weather radios on anytime severe weather is imminent
Amazing video but could you post the exact date it was filmed?
That's about the distance I've ever seen a tornado at
Do you guys get storms often down there?? Im up in Saskatchewan
Average 58 per year
You are SOOOOOO lucky that missed you, barely
That was a beautiful tornado tho
Man you f***ed up. You didn't scream the obvious 76 times so I had no idea what I was looking at.
Just kidding lol great footage I'm surprised it doesn't have way more views. One of the best examples of inflow into a mesocyclone I've ever seen..
That was good video . Does anyone have
Any other home videos by chance
The wall cloud didn't dissipate. It looks like you still had chunks of hail remaining all over the ground.
IF IT DOSENT MOVE IT MAY MEAN ITS COMEING RIGHT AT YOU SCARY
We started our chase north of amboy and ended up helping search homes. I will never forget that night

ويحمل الجسور والقناطر والخزانات الكبيرة ويدور بها وكانها عود ثقاب ويلفها كالمروحة من شدة قوته العنيفة
ويحمل معه الحيوان والانسان الى عنان السماء ثم يلفظه خارج الغلاف الجوي او الكرة الارضية وكانها عملية تفريغ نحو الفضاء الخارجي

Yep. That's the "beaver tail" cloud indicating the inflow jet.
It is

South from Rockford.

Isn't it dangerous to be outside because of the possibility of a satellite tornado touching down without warning?
What state?
