Nick, we live in vero beach I was born and raised 32 years. My moms lived here for probably close to 40 years. She said she’s never experienced anything like this. She said she wanted to ask a meterologist a few questions to see if she will ever stay for another storm again category 1 or otherwise (because we never consider leaving for anything 3 and under and most likely not even 4) but now we’re wondering if this can happen again easily. So I’m hoping you’ll see this and can explain! 1. Is this a common thing to happen where the tornadoes are this many and this strong before a hurricane even a cat 1? Was this a freak event? (Obviously we know tornadoes do happen prior sometimes but it’s never been a big thing) 2. Can a tornado happen anywhere? For example we thought they only happen more towards open fields like out in the pastures… there was one on beachside and downtown vero all vero densely populated places…. Is this common? 3. Should we automatically leave even for a small hurricane to avoid this in the future? Thanks for your coverage
As someone who lives in Florida, I didn’t think I'd ever see a video like this come from our state. I have never seen such powerful tropical tornadoes in my entire life. The destruction these tornadoes have caused is absolutely heartbreaking. This event will puzzle scientists. Florida cities should take this event as a wake up call to start considering tornado sirens.
This happens pretty much every time a hurricane is about to make landfall. This isn't an anomaly, you just never paid attention until now. They're called tropical tornados. Florida's yearly average of about 66 tornados are almost always tropical tornados.
@@Eggly69 I’m not shocked at fact that we got tornadoes. I’m surprised because of their strength and their long paths. As someone who lives in Florida and pays attention to weather events like this, 95% of the time, our tropical tornadoes are weak and short-lived.
This does happen with hurricanes but both the amount and strength and length of track are all anomalies. For a proper tornado outbreak to be declared is one I’ve never seen in Florida in recent times over a hurricane. This was an anomaly of an outbreak.
Floridian here born and raised, 63 years and i never expected to see anything like this, 40 tornadoes before Milton even hit land. It was absolutely terrifying for hrs with the warnings coming every five minutes😢 so sorry for all that ended up unknowingly in the paths of so many, my area was spared

This is some of the best tornado journalism I've seen in a while. I've lived in FL my entire life and I've seen a few small EF0 to EF1 tornadoes but NEVER any monsters like that. From what I understand those type of apocalyptic tornadoes are usually reserved for the great plains. You earned a subscription for this. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for checking on people after the tornadoes passed.
Heard your name mentioned on a hurricane coverage stream and thought "I wonder if it's the same meteorologist from the Iowa Derecho" and sure enough it was! Keep up the the phenomenal work, you are amazing at what you do.
This tornado was .04 miles from my home in Lakewood Park FL, the CVS and 7-11 are my neighborhood stores. The store that was damaged that you ran to at the end of the video is just around the corner from me. I feel so gratefull that my home was okay, I know others that didn't do so well. I sat in my closet with my two dogs, and asked for protection from our higher source, my angels and guides. They provided. I must comment on the amazing video that you provided. One the bottom left, first there were 2 sandhill cranes, then 4. What a great shot of all of them getting out of dodge! Those gracefull, lovely birds stay together as a family for their entire lives.
I live in vero beach just down the road, man what a crazy day it was right? I was huddled in our laundry room which is the safest room in my house with my toddler for over an hour. It was so scary
@@PikaRaichupikapika Police ALWAYS arrive with first responders, EMS and Firefighters. You would know this, if you weren’t such an ignorant smart ass with your head stuck up said ASS Hole.

tornado ally made a visit to florida, i grew up in florida you do not see tornados like this, i have been through nasty weather like this multiple hurricanes but wedge tornados is mind blowing for florida
@@DanielRicany Mate get your theorist ass out of UA-cam, no one is controlling the damn weather, we have not achieve that technology yet. is that gonna be the new excuse to say global warming is fake when hurricanes keep getting stronger every year?
I barely missed these tornadoes by some grace of God. Thank u saw your feed on Ryan’s channel, i was in Gifford and there was that tornado in yeehaw and i told work im leaving, drove all the way to south ft pierce. I would have been stuck at wrk til 4. Scary to think about. Grateful.
I unfortunately was having some streaming issues as you could tell. Earlier tornadoes took down the cellular service in the area, and Starlink was struggling with the heavy rain in the hook area we were in. Trying to get a better streaming setup for him for future events.
I think given with what we COULD have been dealing with, we all lucked out decently well here on the west coast of Florida(tampa bay/st pete area here). I definitely thought it was going to be stronger when it hit, and I was expecting it to make landfall north of where it did. Now I am not taking anything away from what damage Milton caused though. I've been through about a dozen hurricanes here on the west coast of Fl, but this one hands down was the scariest one. As I write this still without any power, me and everyone near me is RELIEVED it's over. Everyone I spoke with had that gut feeling that it was going to nail us as a strong cat 4 or cat 5 and cut straight through Florida like a buzzsaw. Very sorry for anybody who lost a loved one from this event, or lost their valuables. Prayers.
This footage just proves how insanely quick they move. They floored it to get away and turn around for more shots, but the gap didn't get as big as I expected. Just proves how many people think they can outrun these and don't live to tell the story.
We got the tornado warnings, rushed into the bathroom and sat on the floor until they were over. When the report came through that 95% of Indian River Co. had no power, my eyes filled with tears. By the Grace of God Brevard County was spared a bad impact.
I’m 30 and I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and I’ve never seen a tornado this big, this long lived, and this many tornadoes from a hurricane/tropical storm. This was unreal. I remember sitting at home looking at velocity readings on the radar and seeing that was bone chilling to me because even though I was 150+ miles away, I still felt scared for these people in that area because that rotation signature on that radar was incredible.
Thank you Nick for being there and all the storm chasers out there I feel bad for the casualties and all the damage everything that happened in Florida I pray for the families who lost loved ones and lost their belongings I pray for everyone with all my heart to the Lord I love all you guys in Florida and I love all you Chasers a big thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢 my heart goes to all out all to you❤❤
at one point their was 3 on the ground fort pierce then florida ridge going into vero beach, then one just notth of vero beach i was watching ryan hall and he had 3 pds warnings and 3 posible debris balls
i live in fort pierce. my neighbors roof got ripped off and cars flung all around. about 5 mins from spanish lakes where people died. i have never seen anything like this. strange times we live in..
I live in vero beach, 10 minutes away from here…. We were getting tornado warnings every 5 minutes telling us to take cover, it was so scary I had my toddler in our laundry room with some cookies and a tablet for over an hour trying to shield her from what was going on. We could hear a tornado in the distance. Several places within 5 minutes of our home had a tornado touchdown and completely ruined everything. I feel so lucky we avoided being struck or directly in one’s path. It was a heartbreaking day, many lives lost
October 9, 2024 was a Freak of Nature day for us in Florida! The monstrous hurricane and the HUMONGOUS and MULTITUDE of tornadoes has NEVER happened before! It’s very VERY scary!
@@TheSkyGuy77 Reed was in Mississippi at the time. He caught the Philadelphia MS tornado that day. And that was the most violent tornado ever recorded, it dug a trench over three feet deep. And no, that's not a typo. There's photos of men standing in the trench that the tornado dug that day. Not even the Greenfield, Iowa tornado dug a trench that deep and its confirmed wind speeds are around 318 MPH.
@@TheDragonofRevelation Okay. I was just stating a fact that there were more tornadoes in the 2011 Super Outbreak than there were with Milton. Milton surpasses every other tornado outbreak except 2011 and 1974 in terms of the number of tornadoes that happened.
I took pictures of the aftermath this afternoon out there by king's highway. And it was something that I have not seen. Save my life 45 years living in this area.
Just subbed man great footage and knowledge. Glad you made it out safe and its incredible how Andy Hill on Ryan Hall's channel was calling out rotation in between the NWS alerts.
Guys again, this is Florida. Yeah. Violent tornado very well done from a storm chasing perspective! Good stuff. Hope Florida recovers fast. Praying for the families of victims.
I’m so glad I found this video as I was one of the many homes that were affected during Milton tornadoes I will never forget me and my family and our four dogs sitting inside of a closet screaming for dear life as my mom screams for her mother, as she’s in Las Vegas on the phone Thinking we’re all gonna die as my father is holding the door closed, but we think my dad‘s trying to peek to see the tornado, but it’s actually the tornado opening the door and keeping it open as my father has to go within the strength of the tornado and himself. I’m very thankful that I was not one of the houses or many people who have lost their lies throughout this whole experience but I will never forget walking outside after the second tornado hit and seeing a whole tree on top of my home and they’re being a random tree branch in the middle of the road and trees being everywhere and just not recognizing the place, I lived in even though I didn’t lose my home I did in the end as I now have to move out because many landlord have decided after this tragic disaster had happened that they are going to Market their houses after fixing them up sadly, my house was one of those that were affected by the landlords decisions, I hope for those who went through this experience have gotten help they needed and found their new homes and have gotten help by FEMA or other resources that are out there I’m very thankful to be alive and I will never forget this ever in my life or forget that feeling of thinking I wasn’t gonna make it out alive as we had to evacuate our home at 9:22 thinking we weren’t gonna make it out as we drove out of holiday Pines and we saw trees and branches everywhere and we drove through a mini flood right in our spot and we drove out and we see two semi trucks on our sides of the road. We see powerlines down in my gas station completely destroyed and we continue to go down Kings Highway and we have to turn around as there is a powerline in the middle of it, I’ll never forget the fear I felt but thank you for for this video as I have never been able to see it the way it was in the clips that was getting hit by tornadoes across me completely lost their house and it was completely demolished
Florida has had some outbreaks of large and deadly tornadoes in the past, but they all occurred at night. In 1998 there was a horrible tornado outbreak in the Orlando area that killed many people. Those tornadoes all hit in the middle of the night. In the early 2000's there was also a horrible tornado outbreak across northern Lake County that killed over 20 people, which occurred during the middle of the night. This is the first daytime tornado outbreak that I've ever seen in Florida with tornadoes of this size and strength.
Great coverage! The big one ended up 2 miles east of me on the barrier island in Vero Beach, but prior to that two small ones came through downtown, four blocks west. A few minutes prior to those our power went out when something tried to touchdown but didn’t manage to. Bunch of trees wrecked though. Streets blocked all over a 3x5 block area.
I'm in Titusville and although we were lucky, there was a tornado (former waterspout) that hit in Cocoa Beach and did some damage. This was an unusual tropical system to produce such STRONG tornadoes! Thanks for the awesome videos and pictures!!!! Didn't realize you lived so close. Any damage? We lost power for about 6 hours, and just lots of tree debris... just lucky this time.
I’m in central Florida Dundee Milton’s eye came right over us and as scary as that was the tornado warnings every 5 minutes was the scariest thing I’ve ever gone through! Just not know if one could pop up at anytime around us was so scary!
In every other way this video feels like it was filmed on the Great Plains until you see the palm trees! Just wild! My thoughts for all my dear people in St Lucie County, Ft Pierce, etc 🫶🏽
Orlando here, grew up next to UCF and all I wanted to do was crawl in a storm cellar, of course none around so I opted for the inner stairwell of a hotel. Absolutely way more terrifying than a hurricane!!
I remember seeing the coverage of this that day. Seeing true supercells with the signature of monster tornados was truly shocking-- many hurricanes have tornadoes, but until now tropical tirnadoes had been weak and short lived. These tornadoes would have been more like what is seen over the Great Plains or in the Midwest. To see them in a hurricane was truly shocking.
Absolutely an epic afternoon in recorded history regarding FL tornadoes... The fact that these were supercell based meant these weren't the average landspout F-0's... And you might as well have had unicorns running next to them in the Everglades for sake of such a rare sighting..
In many ways Hurricane Milton wasn't exactly a normal hurricane. As it moved northeast towards landfall the hurricane slowly began the transition into becoming extratropical by merging with a cold front. As Milton moved east of Florida it rapidly lost all tropical characteristics and merged completely with a cold front. I wonder if the transition process in Milton gradually changing into a different type of storm by merging with that cold front somehow enhanced the tornado activity with Milton?
WOW. I remember this hurricane hitting my area. Thankfully, we never got any of the tornadoes from Milton but the videos I’ve seen of the Milton spawned tornadoes are TERRIFYING… they looked like something out of Kansas.
I've lived in Florida for 17 years. Ive never seen tornadoes like this before. Someone could've showed me the footage and I'll think it was from Oklahoma or Texas
Last tornadoes like this one was February 2007! Just over 17yrs ago.....one in Sumter County and one in Volusia County. Resulting in numerous deaths....😢 also the 1998 tornado outbreak February 1998 from Kissimmee/Winter Garden to Lake Mary/Sanf! Caused multiple deaths and widespread damage! One if those was considered the deadliest in Florida history and qs once rated an EF 4....
My goodness that Major Tornado Outbreak we had in Southern & Southwestern Florida was totally like anything I’ve ever seen before, and I in my life never went through 50 or 60 Tornado Warnings in 1 day. This Tornado Outbreak in Southwestern Florida will be the only event with Milton that I will absolutely never forget. And this South Florida Tornado Outbreak that I am considering this to be the outbreak of the century since this is Florida’s first Major Tornado Outbreak in over 7 years since January 22, 2017. This is why the entire state of Florida needs Tornado sirens including Southern & Southwestern Florida they also need Tornado Sirens.
That Wednesday morning, after we evacuated to lake placid from bradenton, we noticed Milton making a southernly turn ao we headed around the southeastern side of okechobee towards miami and ran right into the clewiston tornado. We watched it form about a mile in front of us, made a U-turn and went back towards LaBelle when we started seeing debris that looked like corn stalks floating theough the air ever so gently like snowflakes. I knew it was time to hit the gas and get out of there. We watched the storm pass over hwy 27 and just as it did, we made a beeline under the southern edge of it, headed west/SW towards miami. Very scary.
This was shot using a few cameras. Handheld is the classic Sony FS5 Mark II. I use a few Canon SL2 DSLRs for streaming, and a few GoPros for internal shots.
I wonder if it’s trickier to track tornadoes during a full on hurricane, I’ve watched so many tornado footages of all states that have them, in a sense, more commonly known for tornadoes, seen one a block away from my house , orange and avocado ,was intense enough for me, here in Loxahatchee, Florida, feeling blessed it didn’t touch us, but praying for others,🙏🏻
So. Florida got 40 tornados in a single day. We usually get 90 in a year. Helene dropped 20. So that’s 60 in a month and we got 130 tornado alerts that’s 2nd most of any day/ in any state in history Florida most tornado ridden day of all time
I’m in Cape Canaveral and like to storm chase and love tracking tornados in the plains but I was NOT expecting this. Fully prepared for the hurricane not the wedge tornados. Thankfully we were spared here although a couple miles south in cocoa beach they got an EF1. I was watching the PDS tornadoes south of here and was really starting to panic. This is a great video though thank you!
3 went right over my home , no damage. God is good . I prayed before these storms for God to protect my home and family . He did . Everyone needs to pray , not just Florida.
Yal working together so so well omg ya earned a sub from me for that. THANKYOU FOR COVERING THIS I was watching the skies and it looked so conducive… pray everyone can stay safe from these events
Listen to that roar! That tornado is actually insane for Florida. They rarely have basements and they probably don’t even know what to do in this situation. Terrifying
This is a documentary style video, so yes it is. If you prefer just the raw tornado video without the storytelling aspect that is also uploaded to this channel.
The Fort Pierce tornado received a preliminary rating of EF-3, with winds of 155mph. The tornado was 500 yards wide, just over a quarter mile.
Thankbyou for uploading this 2024 tornado 🌪 video stay safe out there
I barely escaped that one. Got great video of the development & after. I hate that my life long dream was life ending and altering for so many.

This went right over my house. The most traumatic experience. Crazy to see it from another POV.

That's so wild to see, we rarely get large tornadoes here, usually they're small and in the EF0-EF2 range.
1 mile from my house, I couldn’t believe what I saw. I’ve never seen that much isolated damage all over town
at one point their was 3 on the ground fort pierce then florida ridge going into vero beach, then one just notth of vero beach i was watching ryan hall and he had 3 pds warnings and 3 posible debris balls
Hurricanes produce lines of thunderstorms, in this case, they all slammed into wind shear and dry air.
Milton certainly set new records

In the early 2000's there was also a horrible tornado outbreak across northern Lake County that killed over 20 people, which occurred during the middle of the night. This is the first daytime tornado outbreak that I've ever seen in Florida with tornadoes of this size and strength.
Great coverage!
The big one ended up 2 miles east of me on the barrier island in Vero Beach, but prior to that two small ones came through downtown, four blocks west.
A few minutes prior to those our power went out when something tried to touchdown but didn’t manage to. Bunch of trees wrecked though. Streets blocked all over a 3x5 block area.
My neck of the woods. What's so amazing is this is.
One and lifetime experience, please. Kind of tornadoes are normally what happens in the Midwest
Not once in a lifetime. It’ll happen again. They’re trying to kill us. This is weather control
I'm in Titusville and although we were lucky, there was a tornado (former waterspout) that hit in Cocoa Beach and did some damage. This was an unusual tropical system to produce such STRONG tornadoes! Thanks for the awesome videos and pictures!!!! Didn't realize you lived so close. Any damage? We lost power for about 6 hours, and just lots of tree debris... just lucky this time.
I’m in Mims
@ Small world!
Awesome job Nick. Appreciate you!
I’m in central Florida Dundee Milton’s eye came right over us and as scary as that was the tornado warnings every 5 minutes was the scariest thing I’ve ever gone through! Just not know if one could pop up at anytime around us was so scary!
In every other way this video feels like it was filmed on the Great Plains until you see the palm trees! Just wild! My thoughts for all my dear people in St Lucie County, Ft Pierce, etc 🫶🏽
Really impressive chasing. Watching from Brisbane Australia
Orlando here, grew up next to UCF and all I wanted to do was crawl in a storm cellar, of course none around so I opted for the inner stairwell of a hotel. Absolutely way more terrifying than a hurricane!!
Great coverage, thank you for your hard work. Crazy we are alive to see this
SHUT UP
I remember seeing the coverage of this that day. Seeing true supercells with the signature of monster tornados was truly shocking-- many hurricanes have tornadoes, but until now tropical tirnadoes had been weak and short lived. These tornadoes would have been more like what is seen over the Great Plains or in the Midwest. To see them in a hurricane was truly shocking.
I’m in Brevard county, I’ll never ignore a warning again. We’ve never had a tornado like these but never been hit with hurricanes like these either.
Absolutely an epic afternoon in recorded history regarding FL tornadoes... The fact that these were supercell based meant these weren't the average landspout F-0's... And you might as well have had unicorns running next to them in the Everglades for sake of such a rare sighting..
In many ways Hurricane Milton wasn't exactly a normal hurricane. As it moved northeast towards landfall the hurricane slowly began the transition into becoming extratropical by merging with a cold front. As Milton moved east of Florida it rapidly lost all tropical characteristics and merged completely with a cold front. I wonder if the transition process in Milton gradually changing into a different type of storm by merging with that cold front somehow enhanced the tornado activity with Milton?
WOW. I remember this hurricane hitting my area. Thankfully, we never got any of the tornadoes from Milton but the videos I’ve seen of the Milton spawned tornadoes are TERRIFYING… they looked like something out of Kansas.
Amazing content hope all Make it through 🙏 all the way from Nebraska 💪😞
I've lived in Florida for 17 years. Ive never seen tornadoes like this before. Someone could've showed me the footage and I'll think it was from Oklahoma or Texas
Last tornadoes like this one was February 2007! Just over 17yrs ago.....one in Sumter County and one in Volusia County. Resulting in numerous deaths....😢 also the 1998 tornado outbreak February 1998 from Kissimmee/Winter Garden to Lake Mary/Sanf! Caused multiple deaths and widespread damage! One if those was considered the deadliest in Florida history and qs once rated an EF 4....
My goodness that Major Tornado Outbreak we had in Southern & Southwestern Florida was totally like anything I’ve ever seen before, and I in my life never went through 50 or 60 Tornado Warnings in 1 day. This Tornado Outbreak in Southwestern Florida will be the only event with Milton that I will absolutely never forget. And this South Florida Tornado Outbreak that I am considering this to be the outbreak of the century since this is Florida’s first Major Tornado Outbreak in over 7 years since January 22, 2017. This is why the entire state of Florida needs Tornado sirens including Southern & Southwestern Florida they also need Tornado Sirens.
8:47 I've rarely seen debris that large recirculate a tornado, wild stuff.
this tornado outbreak reminded me alot of hurricane Ivan (2004), especially with how strong some of them were.
2004 Charlie, Irene, Frances and Jeannie ran us over in New Smyrna Beach. Not a phone pole was left standing.
Great Video!
Nick is popping off now
There probably a simple explanation, but I will ask anyway. Why do these tornadoes seem to rotate anti-clockwise?
It's due to the location on Earth. North of the equator they spin counterclockwise and south of the equator the spin is clockwise.
@TheDragonofRevelation Thanks mate. Appreciate the explanation.
Literal wedge tornadoes in Florida from a hurricane.
Nature truly made me speechless...
That Wednesday morning, after we evacuated to lake placid from bradenton, we noticed Milton making a southernly turn ao we headed around the southeastern side of okechobee towards miami and ran right into the clewiston tornado. We watched it form about a mile in front of us, made a U-turn and went back towards LaBelle when we started seeing debris that looked like corn stalks floating theough the air ever so gently like snowflakes. I knew it was time to hit the gas and get out of there. We watched the storm pass over hwy 27 and just as it did, we made a beeline under the southern edge of it, headed west/SW towards miami. Very scary.
i'm a floridian but i never knew there's a place here called yeehaw junction till now
I live in Orlando and I was more worried about tornados in my area then the hurricane
Nominate this!!!
what is your camera?
This was shot using a few cameras. Handheld is the classic Sony FS5 Mark II. I use a few Canon SL2 DSLRs for streaming, and a few GoPros for internal shots.
I wonder if it’s trickier to track tornadoes during a full on hurricane, I’ve watched so many tornado footages of all states that have them, in a sense, more commonly known for tornadoes, seen one a block away from my house , orange and avocado ,was intense enough for me, here in Loxahatchee, Florida, feeling blessed it didn’t touch us, but praying for others,🙏🏻
Great job
There is footage going around elsewhere with unearthly screams/howls out of the hurricane. Is that generated or possibly be true?
Yes, it's true. The winds close to, and in, the eyewall make that sound. If demons were real they'd sound like that.
Wow great chasing
So. Florida got 40 tornados in a single day. We usually get 90 in a year. Helene dropped 20. So that’s 60 in a month and we got 130 tornado alerts that’s 2nd most of any day/ in any state in history
Florida most tornado ridden day of all time
6:40 - is this a plane? You can see some lights in those clouds, what is it? A plane, so close to a tornado??
Flashing lights are on a radio tower.
@@johnmoore3504 thanks
Never thought big in florida
is that the one that killed all the people in Spanish Lakes?
Yes
On the bottom left is a family of sandhill crains. Beautiful birds stand 4 to 5 ft tall.
If I had a driver with me I would’ve been out chasing this as well.
I’m in Cape Canaveral and like to storm chase and love tracking tornados in the plains but I was NOT expecting this. Fully prepared for the hurricane not the wedge tornados. Thankfully we were spared here although a couple miles south in cocoa beach they got an EF1. I was watching the PDS tornadoes south of here and was really starting to panic. This is a great video though thank you!
My cousin is the mayor of Cape Canaveral- Wes Morrison! I'm glad everyone is OK for the most part 8
Thank you for not screaming at the top of your lungs like, well you know who, (no disrespect to them, it's just a little much)
🙏🏾 for my city FP.
Yeee get em God GET EM!!
God is good, right? 😂😂😂😂
@@TheDragonofRevelation I can just see god smudging his finger across Florida whilst mumbling “that’s quite enough of that behaviour you lot”
@@andyeveritt385 And Atlas is holding the world in place.
3 went right over my home , no damage. God is good . I prayed before these storms for God to protect my home and family . He did . Everyone needs to pray , not just Florida.
Its some geo storm shit
Gaura nitai gauranga.
Not a burn, far from it: they should audition you for the role of Niles and Daphne Crane’s son on the Frasier reboot.
We havent had a ef 3 since Kissimmee 1998. I watched the milton tornado live
Not true. The Groundhogs day outbreak in 2007 spawned 2 EF3 tornadoes
@tyg649 true, that one is easily missed at times, I was a teenager/college student during those times 😢
nice work!
The fort pierce monster killed people and destroyed a whole 55+ community our community is still searching for people lost in it
Great work!
Nicely edited and filmed documentary, high quality content for sure!
SHUT UP
Yal working together so so well omg ya earned a sub from me for that. THANKYOU FOR COVERING THIS I was watching the skies and it looked so conducive… pray everyone can stay safe from these events
I was watching from Port Saint Lucie, i saw your SN dot up there. I couldnt leave my wife or else i would of jumped all over it. Kicking myself 😅
Listen to that roar! That tornado is actually insane for Florida. They rarely have basements and they probably don’t even know what to do in this situation. Terrifying
We go to the center of the building like we already know to do.
We do now!
We know what to do.
Get in the bathtub with a mattress.
Stunning footage
Music is not needed, it’s self explanatory
This is a documentary style video, so yes it is. If you prefer just the raw tornado video without the storytelling aspect that is also uploaded to this channel.
That's the threat of weakening tropical storms/extratropical transition
Crazy to have this happen in my city/county. I've never seen tornadoes like this in my 34 years (born and raised) here in Saint Lucie.
Look like The Day After !
