  • The Kitty Hawk Tornado tore its way through rural Carroll County on May 27, 1995. This camcorder footage was shot by Kevin Tigges of Mount Carmel, IA.
    I was in the basement of the Tigges' house with the 3 Tigges boys, my brother, and our cat, White Sox.

    That cop was chasing that tornado to cite it for speeding! Lol.
    I know, I know, sorry but I hope that no one was hurt on this tornado or died. It's so very scary to see on video however in person it is much more adrenaline and scary. I have been thru a couple of tornadoes and it sure was scary. Tho I never was injured nor experienced damage from an actual tornado but I have had friends that have been victims to severe weather and it's nothing much on video unless you experience it in person. I have seen and been very close to tornadoes in in the past and it is so amazing on how powerful that they can actually be. I pray that anyone who ever comes into contact with tornadoes do not lose their lives to said storms and folks please take all warnings seriously. Sometimes they can just pop up out of nowhere or they can advance upon you faster than you can imagine. Please pray for all folks who have to deal with these storms around the world. May God keep everyone safe during these storms.

    I remember that day clearly. I was outside taking pictures on our farm on 150th St between Ivy Ave and Jade. I remember the sirens and watching the pops of electricity as the tornado hit lines and boxes at each farm. I can't believe it's been that long..Thanks for sharing.

      You can just get out of its way. For folks that just happen to be under it's spawning The speed & direction the stormcloud is moving, in this case Northeastern, anyone that is at least a 1/4 1/8 mile away north of it, that close one either should drive away towards the true west or true east and south so as the twister can be seen north of the escapee's sight or east of the western escapee's sight. A storm shelter would not hurt either, remember thou, depending on how quick anyone in harm's way is able to according to the Warning Awareness for immediate proximity.

    This tornado seemed to slow down, then speed up multiple times. Tornados are the scariest most unknown thing. We can never really know what they are going to do. Change direction, speed up, change in size rapidly, slow down, backtrack, multiple vortices, be rain wrapped. Its just scary, I commend the people brave enough to shake hands with these Monsters. I study them, but I know the risk involved in meeting these things in person, so Thank you for Sharing this footage.

Luckily, I don't have tornadoes where I live (they rarely happen. All we have are sand tornadoes which are COMPLETELY harmless but the sand tornadoes only happen in the desert part of my state so I'm good.) ;)
