One of many twisters that touched down in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee during the multi-day tornado outbreak of April 27th & 28th, 2014. The day before killer tornadoes touched down near Little Rock Arkansas as well as Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Louisiana.
LOUISVILLE TORNADO: April 28, 2014 Current statistics.
10 fatalities, numerous injuries and many still missing. I would estimate this tornado will get an EF-4 rating by the NWS.
This is what I witnessed... At Approximately 4:30 PM a large tornado descended from a massive mesocyclone on the South side of Louisville and tracked Northeast across the eastern side of town. Suddenly the sky filled with strange debris namely leaves, branches, house insulation, tin and plywood. At one point I noticed something very large flapping in the sky. When it landed close by I realized it was the floor mat of a car. The chase ended with large pine and oak trees laying across the road blocking passage. I turned around to find another route Eastern route and came across a field full of tossed cars. Firemen and locals were already at the scene looking inside the cars for people. To my knowledge they were all empty. In the distance you could see the path of the tornado had destroyed houses. To get to that scene several locals trying to assist and myself had to meander around felled power lines. We parked in a line, exited the vehicles and started to approach destroyed houses when a lady ran up explaining we had to move. They found a victim with "serious head trauma" and we were blocking passage so I evacuated that scene. I then ended up on the South side of town. Again in the distance we could make out more destruction and exited our vehicles and started tracking through the mud on foot. The clouds were getting darker and a second tornado warned storm was going to train directly over the path of the last tornado. It was nightmareish Hell. A small tornado touched down and I ran back to my car in fear of wave two. Feeling defeated and helpless I blasted south while lines of Emergency vehicles from other towns raced into the scene. Mike Hollinger's storm chase team was also on the scene and were able to aid several victims successfully. - Розваги
That tornado still haunts me till this day,flew right over me and my grandmother and cousin. The sound was unlike anything I’ve ever heard before.
I know right. they will never know the trauma this storm left on us
I remember this like it was yesterday. Thank you so much for your coverage of it and your effort to help out.
Hi, Pecos Hank, someone by the name of "little kim1" is using this footage as there own.
Thanks Andrew. It's bizarre how people steal your stuff and write a description of their awesome catch. I filed a copyright infringement and it will be yanked by tomorrow. Appreciate it dude!
My grandparents used to live in Louisville, but she moved here to Hattiesburg about three years ago. My grandfather worked at the hospital, which was destroyed. I am so thankful that they moved.
Seeing massive trees ripped right out the ground including the whole root systems us insane. That’s difficult with 1000hP machines. Insane power!
Awesome video, love your tornado work. You're the only video reporter of tornados who does not have "that" screaming girl in the back seat of the car. You know, the one who screams so loud that the emphasis is on her, not the tornado.
Haha! thanks James. I brought a screaming girl with me once... Once!
I was just getting to write that. Glad others are really annoyed by the shrill whining I'm often subjected to.
I've seen i lot of tornado vids where the boys outperformed the girls in screaming. Nevertheless, i like it this way, quite and chil, it such a big contrast with the violence in the storm.
One of the worst screamers - Reed Timmer. Reed is a male. I've seen many videos in which the male of the species screamed in decibels that are comparable to the decibels produced by a jackhammer.
@@MALP1231 To use a phrase coined by Hank- Reed suffers from Twistourettes- screaming and shouting the obvious over and over again while chasing. He's the worst.
I remember this. The whole state was basically under tornado watch
Hi Hannah
Hannah OG yeah. I live in Louisville. It was fuckin terrifying
I live in Guntown. My cousin and I were traumatized.
Hannah OG yes!
Your video was played on the news channel here in San Francisco! You're gonna be big one day'
I'm gonna be huge if I don't stop eating all this Mexican food ;) Thanks James & Tiffany!
well I’d say he’s pretty big now
@@mintydrizzel25 he’s bigger now
@@differentcolored hell yea😂
The Tupelo tornado was on the same day. I think that was Hwy. 15 you was on, I have been through there. Btw hwy. 15 goes all the way north and passes through Ripley where I live.
Thanks Hank, great video. Stay safe mate.
Holy cow Hank. Scary stuff, but thank you for filming!
You have the best tornado videos! When I was in first grade I realized I wanted to be a tornado chaser lol. I.never became one, but I still have that fascination for them.
Awe Thanks Haley! It's never too late to change careers ;)
Even though i would love to see a tornado up close over here in the Netherlands, this reminds me how violent these storms actually are.. Im having second thoughts now..
Great video again, thnx for that
I had a feeling I'd be seeing a video from you today. Great footage.
Damn Hank, that's the wickedness wall cloud I've ever seen
All those destroyed vehicles were scary to see. I hope they weren't all storm chasers.
"It's just the wind" vs. "It's just a big tornado" really does show how much you've gotten used to those monsters.
I haven't even seen one yet, and my fight-or-flight response gets jumpy when tornadic supercells are less than 80 miles away.
You rock Pecos Hank ! Funny thing is there was an EF2 tornado near my area a day before.
Thanks for always providing straightforward videos.Living a remote life I have dish net which cost out the B. I know what I am getting when I click on your shots. WHY DO FOLKS DRIVE RIGHT INTO THESE THINGS?? Anyway, great shot, horrible, sad situation.My heart goes out to these folks. I live in the blue ridge mnt. Va. and even we have a slight chance for tornados tomorrow.What a time we live in eh.?
This tornado literally stopped right in front of our house. I could hear the debris hitting the house, but all of a sudden it stopped we went over to the next street and nothing was left. That day I will always remember. I told myself that god works in mystery’s ways that day. And have told myself ever since
this straight up a scene out of twister
Twister was a stupid, inaccurate and dangerous film.
This is a tear jerker. Terrible. God bless all you impacted.
Great footage! Be safe, keep up the good work!
Thanks Angel.
Dude sounds like Bill Paxton from Twister
Incredible footage!! The average person hears “tornado” and pictures the stereotypical vortex in an open area. My guess is that the drivers of those cars they were just driving into a bad thunderstorm. We’re any of those people killed?? Hope not!🙏🙏
I believe 10 people across the state were killed that day...at least 5 in this county...2 people I personally knew. One was Ruth Bennett, who was a daycare owner who was found deceased...but with her arms wrapped around a living child. They had been waiting for that child's mother to pick up the little girl. So Ruth saved the little girl's life.
Holy crap dude!!!!! Really sad scene there stay safe dude!!!!!
Thanks amigo
TWC was talking last week how there haven't been as many tornados this year as in years past, and tornado season is just starting. Starting to seem like it could be a bad year
I was born here. Many cousins still in area. They were safe. No direct hit. I never saw video of it. We were under watches today in FL. I decided to see what was on youtube about Louisville. OMG. Glad I did not see it back then.
Just saw your footage on one of the openers for The Weather Channel's coverage
One of the bad things about chasing or trying to look at a tornado in the south is all the trees. The trees hide those monsters luring people to find them then wham, it's right on top of you.
It started recommending me your videos after I watched a tornado siren one and was "lol okay I'll watch this than." Only to get hooked on this terrifying beauty of nature. Here in Canada I don't think I ever seen a tornado , but I wouldn't want one to happen here anyway since the big earthquake is going to end everyone on the pacific side anyway so there's that.
That was so sad for everyone. But I love your videos!!! I have always been interested in tornados. I'm only 11 but I would love to do what you do! Your my role model!!
It was truly sad for the town of Louisville. Thanks for taking the time to write Rachel! Pretty nails ;)
oh haha! thanks, it took at least an hour…. lol. but good luck with tornadoes! i love em. but sady have never seen them!! God bless you and stay safe!
Prayers to all the families, may God be with you
As if that will help anybody.
He's with each and everyone of us. All the time. Just look and listen really closely, you'll hear him and see his presence.
Forssa1 your shit attitude definitely won't.
lambordeani
No offence taken.
Yes he killed them all so they can all be in heaven. Im glad our God will kill us so we can be with him. I bet there are people that were sent from God to mass murder everyone so that they can be with the lord, Oh thank you all mighty lord.
great footage, and its in hd!
I’m from clay county ms and I’ve seen some messed up weather I never saw this in person but this was the 3rd biggest in US history!
Wow...this is the first good visual footage of the actual storm/tornado i have seen of this tornado. All other video i have found to date only show aftermath or trees blowing in the wind. Saw in a comment that you were planning on at one point uploading more footage of this tornado. Did you? And will you provide a date i can look for? Thanks. Stay safe!
Your Crazy!! I love your videos i love to study tornados to ;)
Thanks for scoping em all out dude!
+Pecos Hank what a powerful video... Good thing you guys weren't injured. I feel bad for the victims and families affected by this, my prayers go out to them. I love your videos.
He's not alone, either. I can't help myself! I just love listening to these videos and reading all the comments. Also, I think I may have found a way to help google and us get rid of trolls. If we start "liking" all the good comments, even the good observations, that helps you and others' videos get better ratings. Likewise, we need to use that "dislike" button on all the trolls. It's easy. Just "like" all the non-trollish comments and not just the funny or the "amen!" types. When we "like" all the agreeable comments, it helps everyone who also enjoys them. Likewise, when we "dislike" the trolled or smartass comments, that will hopefully isolate the trolls. I think it goes along with UA-cam guidelines. I've tried to report some of the real abusers, and it's much harder to do, especially if someone's channel has no videos. When I say no videos, I mean not even playlists or others' channels like mine, because I can't create any videos myself. I wish I had someone who could help me create some, but I'm not able to find anyone for now.
WHOA!! Hank sounds scared, this one.
I go back in time to the BIG El Reno event where he pulls over to or gets pulled over by a woman who is very anxious about this and how he was trying to reassure her and get her to go back in the house. Her dog looked pretty wiggin ' too..
I do not remember how close he got to that one.
This video seems more up close and personal. Just unusual for Hank to frazzle.
From this side of the screen it's near impossible to know what he or any of the storm chasers may go thru. I kind of get it ,and only kinda.
GR8 work Hank!!👍
TF2 Engineer: Big damn tornado!
Fantasticooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Being in Denmark, we don't really have tornadoes. I think it's so amazing and so frightning at the same time. Great video work though! :)
There have been tornadoes in Europe that ranked in today's EF-5 scale. France, Germany, Russia, Poland and Italy have all seen EF-5 power tornadoes.
I saw the aftermath of a tornado through kentucky. There was a boat on a bridge, flipped cars and destroyed houses. People were running around like ants doing what they could to fix things. Really amazing to see how well we adapt to situations.
Although, there may likely be a tornado in that footage, what you are actually seeing in the very beginning is called a supercell thunderstorm. These storms are usually fairly small. But what they make up for in size is their awesome power. These storms often contain very strong and fast winds, large hail, microbursts and yes, even tornadoes. Just a quick fyi science lesson. Great video!!
As I recall, a thunderstorm contains more energy than either of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan at he end of WWII.
Never seen such a cringeworthy comment. If you're going to try and appear educated- actually know what you are talking about. No in the beginning he is seeing a tornado. However it's obscured. That tornado happens to be spawned from a supercell (what a surprise.) Not only does hank forecast these storms and record the tornadoes they spawn. He's also spoke to a scientist on the topic of tornadogenesis.
TL;DR Hank knows what he's seeing.
Holy shit that tornado is big I have never seen a tornado that big before
Mississippi gets some wicked tornados, damn..
Looks like something out of a movie. Scary stuff.
All the tornadoes end when they get in north carolina except for the storms on friday... quiet severe season for us I guess. I still hope anyone who was affected by these storms gets better.
Let's say if you lived in Georgia, and you were traveling to Arkansas that day April 2 2014 you would've run into all of those tornados! Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Arkansas!
It was crazy!
That tornado had to be at least 2 miles wide, it kinda looked like the El Reno tornado but the worst part about storm chasing in the South is that there’s a lot of trees and hills in that region. Where as the plains you can see far as the eye can see
That’s massive. Is that the whole mesocyclone reaching towards the ground?
tornados scare the crap out of me i hope everyone is ok
Something tells me that was the same tornado that hit my house 20 miles south of Louisville, on Highway 25, near the Highway 19 bridges.
My family and I were lucky; we still have our house, but my cousins lost everything. And they live across the road from us. =(
I saw pictures and videos of the devastation in Louisville... I am so sorry for all the families without homes, lights, and water.
So sorry to hear about your families houses but glad you're OK. I don't think its the same one (I could be wrong). This tornado occurred around 4:30-4:50ish in Louisville. Do you know what time your house got hit? When i was looking for victims in the aftermath there was a strong radar signature that another tornado was tracking very close to the path of this one. I'm assuming that's the one that struck your homes. Any information would be very helpful Necra. Thanks and good luck.
The right side look similar to the birminham ef4 in april 27 2011 this tornado happen 3 years after that so what is going on?
I like seeing big tornadoes on UA-cam
Like HBSanta, I was expecting to see a vid pop up from you, anytime. This was amazing and horrifying. Glad you made it through, ok. Always enjoy your videos.
1:03 was on the news channel this morning!
Supposed to be bad weather next week. I hope it's not a repeat of these tornadoes.
I remember watching it on twc I was like oh my god! It's huge!
I had 3 cells and I am in Alabama,
It was right above us, LAST NIGHT, on the 28th and we're east 85.
The tornado reminds me of the el-reno 2013 tornado
so just in case anyone things staying in their auto might keep them safer, this video disproves that very quickly.
Unbelievable. Looks like the set of a Spielberg film.
this was the tornado that tore up my neighborhood and made us have to move to texas
hey, what camera do you recommend for a newbie under 500 dollars and for nature shots. DSLR camera
He girl! I've only used nikons and love em. Now-a-days any name brand new camera is awesome. Cannon, Sony, nikon, whatever. Go to best buy and play around with em. Whichever feels right and makes sense to you is the right one. Good luck!
Hey Hank. Any chance you're going near Tupelo, Miss. tomorrow? I witnessed the one that came through Tupelo yesterday. It was about 2,000 feet south of me as I was getting in my brother's storm shelter in north Tupelo.
Dayum! Too close for comfort.
Everyone says train. I say waterfall.
***** I hear waterfalls too, but I'd imagine one up close causing structure destruction would have a different sound... havent heard that one yet and I'm not in a hurry to either.
I wanted to comment somehow but all I could think of was "Fuck that thing's huge". Im glad you're safe!
Right on dude!
Debris from Louisville was raining down on the Mississippi State University campus 30 miles away
I CAN'T EVEN TELL HOW BIG THAT IS...can anyone tell?
OMG THAT IS A DADLEY TORNADO HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a huge tornado 🌪😳
im speachless
Whats un-ordinary about some of these nationwide tornados are "not just the gerth of how wide" but the power they have been representing is unreal... cause usually the wider they are it usually takes away some of it's punch.. but these F5's are kicking up very VERY organised The death grips as say "F3 - F4" Tighter ropes.. scary shit.
What a beast!
lol: "that... that's just a huge tornado"
I wonder what other people in their cars think about the storm, are hurrying home?
Nice vid
wow thats scary as heck
“Man... why the fuck would anybody dri...”
There are images of the tornado damage on Google maps. Try to find them if you can!
This Happened On My Birthday! :( I Was Scared When We Where Under a Tornado Warning! :'( :( I wasn't expecting that!
I remember this day. I was 13 at the time
may prayers with them
Dang thanks one hell of a tornado right their dude
omg thats horrible...
Pecos Hank don't swear yes it is massive doesn't mean you can swear and yes your an awsome storm chaser
When you chase/see a tornado your adrenaline kicks in so you swear. Put yourself in his shoes for once.
Wow this is sad
DAMN LOOK AT THAT WALL CLOUD.
Poor people :(
Tornadoes in Mississippi? I don't remember this, and I live 62 miles northwest of Louisville.
do you have a longer video?
Yes, I'll upload a detailed version of the event eventually. Thanks Robin.
Pecos Hank hey Hank, great videos! Did you ever get around to uploading the rest of
this footage, I live around Tupelo so it’s interesting to see. By any chance did you chase on 4/27 in this area? Thanks for the content again man!
Wow. Those cars got tossed waaay tf outta the way.
In my area there was a tornado that tossed a car over 3 miles from its damage path... which then landed on my grandmother's roof. She was ok, and the damage was eventually repaired, but holy shit.
I remember this
Wow
Those tossed cars...
OMG!!! was that EF4 or EF5? Those cars all torn up made me sick
This one got an EF-4 rating.
Harrowing video. Well done.
It was nuts Chris! Fast moving tornadic HP's with low LCL's in 70+ dews IN THE JUNGLE! Might rethink my game-plan about chasing Mississippi again.
Pecos Hank I chased Arkansas once and said 'never again.' It would depend on circumstances, but exactly what you describe is not what I'd want to be chasing in Dixie Alley.
You should try living here. Where i live (Biloxi) average temp in July/August is 95 with 90%humidity. Ironically 2 hours from now Tropical Storm Cindy is making landfall about 120 miles west of here. We've had over 18inches of rain and the storm hasnt even made landfall yet. Love your videos HANK!
Looks like Luis Lopez from Ballad of Gay Tony on rampage with Shotgun with explosive shells.
You are looking at a rotating mesocyclone, the parent thunderstorm, not the tornado. Heaven help anyone under a tornado that big. There would be nothing left.
That was a good tornado there.
thats about as rain wrapped as it gets.
