No doubt. The quality of this video makes it obvious to the viewer that this in not a video from that screaming Nelly of a sell-out R.T. Thank you, Skip!!!!
@Agent Fungus You're right, Agent Fungus, it doesn't make sense, they're storm chasers who do this for a living,so the so-called "panic" & hysterics alot of times is just for dramatic effect.
Clear. Great sound. NO shaking. Thanks. I know 90% of the time these vids are taken on the fly with phones in dangerous predicaments... not knocking those. Just wanted to say how cool it is to see this in this spectacular way.
Absolutely a first class tornado video collection! No shaky camera, no irritating "zooming", no God-awful "music", no hysterical idiot screaming constantly "Oh my Gawd, Oh my Gawd", and no hyper female shrieking for her lost cats, dogs, or other pets. Just the really important part, the tornadoes! Keep up the fine filming!
The sequence from 2:12 is stunning. Mesmerising. Always wanted to see a tornado in real life but I think I'd crap myself so thanks for the next best thing!
Thought the horizontal tube was connecting both tornadoes at first, in what's known as a vortex arch. A horizontally rolling tube gets pulled up, and makes a tornado on each end, cyclonic to the right, and anticyclonic on the left. Hank and others pointed out that both are rotating cyclonically, however. And there's another tube above the tornado on the right. Instead I think it's just the tornado's updraft tube. My working understanding is that the updraft is basically contracting and withering away during the tornado. It's dying, but as it contracts and gets stretched, the rotational velocities increase until you get a tornado underneath. All tornadoes probably have something like this, but it's usually hidden in the storm. In this case, a downdraft is cutting the cloud away from and exposing the updraft tube, and probably pushing it out away from the center of the mesocyclone. So you get this big distended horizontal tube, but it probably goes all the way to the top of the storm.
That first scene was a classic! One on the ground and the other long horizontal rope and then down to the ground! WOW! Next, kind of a "dead man walking" appearance. The farm strike was pure primal fear. The last was the beauty and power of nature and how small we really are. No talking and a steady camera make your shots as professional as one can get. You get the Tornado Video Award if there were such a thing. What a perfect presentation of tornadoes.
I been following you for a decade, i love your videos, it gives me goose bumps knowing I was so close to you that day in central western Kansas, i was on the next cell to the west of the opening triple tornado shot, i picked the wrong cell, but my cell produced a weak tornado too, just not a great photogenic one. it was exciting stuff being all alone on a dirt road watching these incredible storms. I'm an upstate new yorker , I live in the heart of lake effect snow country, near Tug Hill, I chased thunderstorms for 13 days last late May threw June 3rd, I had never been out there, it was a bucket list trip for this northern country boy....i was alone in a rental car and didn't find a motel til 3 am the night before, so i over slept that day from being tired trying to shoot that crazy flashing lightning after dark in Nebraska and couldn't catch up to your opening storm cell. I'm 50 years old and always wanted to go to the plains, it was a trip of a lifetime. I rented a car in Oklahoma city, drove 4,300 miles in 13 days.. i hit new mexico, Texas, Colorado Kansas Oklahoma and Nebraska...I saw a wedge tornado near Canadian Texas on my second day , it came within a couple hundred yards of me, its an experience i'll never forget, the sky got so dark ahead of that wedge, dark like I've never seen before , i was like a deer in headlights, i didn't know what to do but watch it after a brand new B and H battery failed and so did an SD card, i was so bummed out, but the experience was so real...I saw two other tornadoes shortly afterwards, but low clouds hid them til they were almost on me, the fog drizzle and low clouds were weird, i never would of thought i'd be looking for tornadoes in soup, covection without any sun? That don't happen in NY That day may 27th in Colorado and May 28th in Kansas were the first days in almost a week i saw the sun, those storms out there fire in upper 60's and no sun in Texas, i did not expect that, it was very confusing to me. When everyone left for Kansas city and i stayed behind, the best feeling in the whole world was that you and hank stayed behind to, I have never been to school for meteorology, but i knew my gut instincts were right when i saw you guys videos of may 28th, I had made the right decision to stay on that upper low, only my inexperience of the the area kept me from getting good footage, but I lived it and I'll never forget it, keep on doing what you do, this New yorker loves your work.I watch every video.AWESOME MAN JUST AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the comments, Shane. The span between the 17th and 28th had been pretty tough for us, pretty much striking out each day with tornadoes nearby. Those two days at the start and end certainly made up for it though. The Canadian day was definitely a weird one. The Texas Panhandle was plagued by an overabundance of moisture this year, resulting in overcast skies and pea soup visibility. And normally you'd need the sun to get the instability and low level lapse rates up, but "Caprock Magic" makes up for it with the upslope lift and lapse rates you almost get for granted coming off the high terrain. That was a tough day for us. We were in the path of the wedge where it crossed FM 281, but moved east due to visibility and safety concerns, and then abandoned the chase due to storm mode. On the 28th finally everything clicked and we were on our game. We picked up on the target hints early. Moisture and low level instability wrapping around the west side of the low. That screams tornado machines. I will always pick that target when I see it. It was something like 77 F temp / 70 F dewpoint in Beloit with a strong northeast wind, unreal tornado juice there. I was surprised that SPC wasn't picking up on it. We were somewhere between the 2% and 5% and outside the tornado watch when it finally went up. To the east, precipitable water approaching 2 inches meant a nasty HP storm mode, plus the high tornado probs from SPC would lure in the hoards over the not that great terrain and roads of eastern Kansas. We were pretty solid on staying west. I almost got baited by a lead northeast cell, which didn't produce, but everyone else in the group stepped up. Anton Seimon and Pecos Hank were masters at committing us to the right storm and then expertly navigating it. These shots wouldn't have happened without them.
Yes well performed clearity steady Videos!! Why not have some thing More Related to Weather instead of these 2 Great Mass Fish You Pulled out of the Water? Yet your hobby or others of abundance? 🤔🤔🤫😉😉👍👍👍🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪NY STATE has there share of Tornados more than mass vermont NH Main .Though Have you herd of the F 4 Tornado Believe it or Not the great Barrington Tornado of Massachusetts dying out in South of windham Vermont. F-4 FIGITA and Taking the Lives of 8 . It also Happend in the Winter Of December 14th 1995 with a foot of snow on the ground .Cars rapped around tress and found pictures old kindling wood insulation Blown 40 Miles in to southern Vermont. Winds of 210 or 240 mile perhour is a Kansas tornado in dec 1995 if all most unbelievable Happening in North west Mass running Dying out 35 miles away in to Windham Vermont.. a warm air mass from southwest with a cold front and Jet stream in the right area at the right time i guess.
the tornado in the field kicking up the black dirt sets the sky up to have a pretty complexion. plus the form of the clouds and tornado are amazing as well... What I am saying is that it is an absolutely amazing shot.
How come you never see "You and Skip Talbot are my 2 favorite chasers", on Hank's video's ? Skip has the most informative content by far, youre the best in my book bud!
Your style of filming and chasing is one of the best next to Hank and Reed. There is no comparing you and Timmer, or Hank and Timmer or even you and Hank! All 3 of you have your own way of chasing and filming so no one can compare you 3 to each other (That's a hint to the dweebs to sit there and compare) good production on this video.

Whenever I see videos like this/these I just wanna grab my camera and go huntin' some tornadoes... but it would be quite expensive (from Europe to USA) and dangerous (I love weather but don't know much details about it so I would be primed to be hit by storm(s))
Grandpa the Grey definitely one of the best parts of skips videos. I tried to learn from that. Check out my channel as well if you like enjoyable tornado videos.
I am lucky enough not to live in the "tornado alley" states but quake state. Just a dumb question - if you are driving ahead on the road when the tornado touch down, you should stop, drive on or turn back ?
If you can see the tornado, stay calm and take a couple moments to note which way it's moving relative to a fixed reference point like a telephone pole, tree, or even a fence post works. Then drive in the opposite direction. If the tornado is moving left, go right. If it's moving right, go left. And if neither, turn around and go the other direction. There are plenty of ways to avoid that situation though. Skip that road trip if there's a tornado watch. Get off the road and to substantial shelter if there's a tornado warning. And just don't drive into big thunderstorms.
@Skip Tabot I just had to share this tidbit. I watched this video and loved the captures. It reminded me of the outtro segue to Twister. I then replayed this video muted and played the audio from Eddie Van Halens' 'Respect The Wind'. Works like a charm!
@Dwayne Earls they call them fingers that extend off the side of the tornado. They usually happen in tornadoes ef3 and higher. Look up the ABC 33/40 coverage of the april 27 2011 Tuscaloosa Alabama tornado... The big dark cloud kinda wrapping around the side of the tornado is a vertical vortex
If you ever hear one of those monsters in person I can assure you that you'll NEVER forget that noise! I speak from a horrifying experience back in May 1984.
This video is amazing sucks that it has to end :( I want to go storm chasing so badly but i don't have a car. Im getting slightly nervous about the upcoming tornado season. It's been 6 1/2 years since the last EF 5. It could happen anywhere. Just had an EF3 near my house a few weeks ago
It's the updraft tube of the tornado on the left. You usually can't see these because they're buried in other clouds, but most tornadoes probably have them, and they can go all the way up to the top of the storm, tens of thousands of feet up.
I love tornadoes, but sometimes I don't like them when the destroying places like a lot of people dies from tornadoes, and it just breaks my heart, but it's part of life and tornadoes are very beautiful I just wish I get close to one
It's the updraft of the tornado. Usually those tubes are mostly vertical, but it's been stretched horizontally like a slinky probably because the tornado was pushed away from the parent storm by outflow winds.
Usually counter clockwise. And yes, the southern hemisphere tornadoes are usually clockwise. But the Earth's rotation (Coriolis force) is only indirectly affecting that spin direction on the tornado scale. Tornadoes can and do spin in either direction.
Refreshing break from all the shaky, run-and-gun, constantly shifting zoom in and out tornado vids. Love it! Set the frame and let nature unfold.
Exactly what I was thinking.
No doubt. The quality of this video makes it obvious to the viewer that this in not a video from that screaming Nelly of a sell-out R.T. Thank you, Skip!!!!
@@captainmorgan757 Are you sure you don't wanna hear R.T. screaming: TORNADO ON THE GROUND!!! HUNKER DOWN!! HUNKER DOWN!!!
I agree. I “think” you might enjoy my page if you check it out!
@Agent Fungus You're right, Agent Fungus, it doesn't make sense, they're storm chasers who do this for a living,so the so-called "panic" & hysterics alot of times is just for dramatic effect.
These are the best definition tornadoes I've ever seen. Amazing quality
You and Hank are great! Filming awesome tornados without constant zoom in and out as well as moving around. Beautiful work!
Clear. Great sound. NO shaking. Thanks. I know 90% of the time these vids are taken on the fly with phones in dangerous predicaments... not knocking those. Just wanted to say how cool it is to see this in this spectacular way.
Onni mommy, you like watching tornado videos too?!
Wooo, that 4K resolution is pleasantly spiffy! Appreciate the upload, Skip. Keep up the amazing work, bud!
Great quality Skip! Best I ever seen, I look forward to watching every video you put out. Thank you for sharing
Absolutely beautiful footage, I love being able to properly see all the features and the ground circulation.
Absolutely a first class tornado video collection! No shaky camera, no irritating "zooming", no God-awful "music", no hysterical idiot screaming constantly "Oh my Gawd, Oh my Gawd", and no hyper female shrieking for her lost cats, dogs, or other pets.

Incredible shots, Skip, thanks for sharing!
Amaaaazing footage!! The intro was just downright eerie looking. Great work!
Great job Skip. Thanks for the best Tornado videos I've seen for a long time. Thanks also for not adding obnoxious UA-cam free music.
There's that noise it makes. Wow! No shouting people saying stuff like "It's right there!"
The sequence from 2:12 is stunning. Mesmerising. Always wanted to see a tornado in real life but I think I'd crap myself so thanks for the next best thing!
This is so great! Loved it. The sound of everything was perfect! Good job talbot
FANTASTIC video.....no screaming, yelling, no panic, no shaking, just absolutely fantastic beautiful video work!!!
That was absolutely breathtaking, Skip.
This footage was so crisp I could see where on my monitor I'd missed when I last cleaned it
Thanks for putting in this effort. The visual quality is stunning.
Another great upload, Skip! Superior footage!
AMAZING FOOTAGE! So clear, and who knew how many different colors a tornado could produce?! GREAT JOB! 👍😯
That farm at 1:32 barely escaped total destruction, only a few roof elements came off. They were extremely lucky.
These are amazing images Skip!
Incredibly beautiful footage!! Thank you
Nobody talking about that incredible possible horizontal funnel in the first clip? Awesome footage, as always!

Ah, a pro. What a relief, and I didn't see your face screaming into the camera either. It's about the storm, the real star of the show.
Always be safe out there. Keep the videos coming great clarity. Just be safe
I never really got to see how beautiful tornados are, they’re just so damn deadly.
It amazing how much time, effort, money and tears mother nature can cost you in you in the blink of an eye.
Some seriously stunning footage, love it. 👍
Wow! The ominous beauty captured perfectly. Thank you !

In the first scene there was a funnel at the top
Outstanding footage on this one!
This was fantastic Skip!! I think you could give Timmer a run for his money:)
Great Video, lovely quality

@@skiptalbot --Hank is a pimp no question. Don't sell yourself short, you go deeper into the weeds on analysis though.
You do sometimes, just gotta watch enough of Hank's stuff
You mean you can still document and chase at safe distances without running stop signs and punching cores?
Great footage. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome footage...🤙😎🤘
@Skip Tabot I just had to share this tidbit. I watched this video and loved the captures. It reminded me of the outtro segue to Twister. I then replayed this video muted and played the audio from Eddie Van Halens' 'Respect The Wind'. Works like a charm!
Incredible footage.
Very nice video!
did i see a vertical vortex in the clouds in the first clip
Amazing right?
@Dwayne Earls they call them fingers that extend off the side of the tornado. They usually happen in tornadoes ef3 and higher. Look up the ABC 33/40 coverage of the april 27 2011 Tuscaloosa Alabama tornado... The big dark cloud kinda wrapping around the side of the tornado is a vertical vortex
Thanks Skip.
Awesome. Nice to watch a tornado video without someone having a stormgasm.
Amazing footage
I am thinking about buying the Sony AX100 after watching this. What camera mount do you use for the AX100?
Yep, the camera is on a FilmTools suction mount Gripper 115 or something similar
Opening shots kicked ass !!!
If you ever hear one of those monsters in person I can assure you that you'll NEVER forget that noise! I speak from a horrifying experience back in May 1984.
Tornado at 2:15 reminded me of Twister so much...
Awesome. Well done.
great tornado footage.
Very beautiful footage. AX100 is a beast. What lens did you flim this with?
The AX100 is a single/fixed lens camcorder
Skip Talbot's Storm Chasing Chronicles my bad, I thought it was also E mount.
This video is amazing sucks that it has to end :( I want to go storm chasing so badly but i don't have a car. Im getting slightly nervous about the upcoming tornado season. It's been 6 1/2 years since the last EF 5. It could happen anywhere. Just had an EF3 near my house a few weeks ago
In the beginning is that a 3rd tornado in mid air?
It's the updraft tube of the tornado on the left. You usually can't see these because they're buried in other clouds, but most tornadoes probably have them, and they can go all the way up to the top of the storm, tens of thousands of feet up.
Great footage
Watch full screen. Beautiful!
4K means full screen in a dark room to get the full effect. And the best part is no woman screaming incoherently in the background.
Wonderful shots! Stay safe
How can something so beautiful and mesmerizing be so destructively devastating?
I love tornadoes, but sometimes I don't like them when the destroying places like a lot of people dies from tornadoes, and it just breaks my heart, but it's part of life and tornadoes are very beautiful I just wish I get close to one
Outstanding!
Is that a massive high elevation horizontal in the beginning?
It's the updraft of the tornado. Usually those tubes are mostly vertical, but it's been stretched horizontally like a slinky probably because the tornado was pushed away from the parent storm by outflow winds.
Ok I gotchya' I see it now.
So Mesmerizing!
So the rotation is counter clockwise. Does that mean below the equator tornadoes go clockwise? Wow
Usually counter clockwise. And yes, the southern hemisphere tornadoes are usually clockwise. But the Earth's rotation (Coriolis force) is only indirectly affecting that spin direction on the tornado scale. Tornadoes can and do spin in either direction.
Amazing!
Beautiful.
