A violent F4 wedge tornado develops near Allison, Texas on the evening of June 8, 1995. I'm joined on this chase by veteran storm chasers Bobby Prentice and Richard Thomas
You'd think that with the advancement of video technology since the early 1990s that we'd have better tornado footage, but honestly this video is better than 99% of the ones that are on youtube. Clear lens, not shaking, focused. Can't say that for most of the tornado footage that amateurs film today.
Live just east (4 miles) of where this monter passed and they do not make audio equipment that can capture the noise it made. UNREAL! Followed it as it crossed just NW of Reydon, Ok. and it was so big that it looked like a mini thunderstorm. It was huge and the damage it left was unreal as well. All we could do was stand and cry. Hope this never happens anywhere again but it will. God be with them.
What a MONSTER wedge! That thing was right next to you guys!!! The commentary between everyone is hysterical... seems like it got a little hairy there for a bit...haha.
Isn't this the same parent storm that produced the Kellerville storm? What a huge wedge. I remember seeing the footage of Project Vortex on this storm.
Legendary Storm Chasers I’m not from Texas But I remember this got family in Texas I was 16 and I live in Alabama and seen a lot of twisters such as the storms of 1998 and and of course can’t forget the April 27 2011 tornado outbreak prayers to anyone who’s ever out in this
It sent animals into tree's, with the head sticking through the tree trunks. Cows wrapped in barbwire. Everyone went around putting animals down so they didn't have to suffer. 10yr old when this happened and got my first set of stitches falling out of the back of the truck while eating at the red cross in our little down town. This tornado destroyed a brand new home and left only the hot water heater. Not one foundation brick was left behind.
I just keep picturig myself infront of somethat that huge this spring... This is just what I need after getting 2 hrs of sleep and doin nothing but physics the last 36 hrs
One of my favorite tornado videos from my all-time favorite chaser. Jim Leonard is a legend.
Shane Adams May he Rest In Peace

Good ol' Jim was one in a million.
@@RagingMoon1987 RIP Jim Leonard
I was 5 years old in a cellar in allison,tx, when this happened. I remember this.
I was there too sis
This was on Twister: Fury on the Plains. Cool to hear the audio better here (and uncensored).

I never would witness anything like this monster tornado but a monster flash of lightning behind the tornado that's worth 1000 words!

Nasty one that one
These guys are the kings of storm chasers
Classic Freight train sound at about 3:18
I lived in Allison TX during this tornado. One of the scariest times of my life!
Amazing chase. The dark atmosphere made it feel all the more suspenseful.

How do you point at 11:30- do you use 2 hands?
Underrated video!!
I think hearing Vortex in on the radio in the background adds to the effect. Amazing footage Jim, and nice commentary throughout the video. HAHA
95? ...how long have you been chasing?
Gosh... tired here...
"TIRED??!!"
That was a random statement. Ha!
That is a big tornado
I would be driving fucking 140 away from that shit. I hope you guys got a mustang or something with a kenne bell. hahaha nice footage
The fact i can hear a clear roar from 1995 footage with chasers being unable to be quiet lol ( 3:19 to 4:08 ), horrifying.
Love this vid. Is there a term for a tornado that produces heavy lightning, Jim?
Cuz you guys got pounded out there with some really strong stuff.
I was only a year old when this tornado happened. Good thing I live in Mississippi
This Chase seems just like something out of the movie Twister... but its real life haha
Hey jim,how many miles this thing traveled?
WOW!!!! WOW!!!1!!!
