- On August, 8th, 2023, I chased an incredible tornado near Yuma, Colorado. On the ground for nearly 30 minutes, this erratic tornado takes me on a wild adventure, as this crazy twister takes on one of the most bizarre tornado tracks ever documented.

it's all fun and games until the tornado starts chasing you instead
@@mIrOkAKkO correct
Real
it gets scary when the tornado is rainwrapped and its almost getting dark. That's when your done for.
*-yep-*
*_-yep-_*
This is hands down the best editing I've seen Freddy. Perfectly captures the abrupt transition from meteorological analysis to "HOLY CRAP TORNADO". You've outdone yourself.
I love how you included Ryan, Connor, Alex, and Mike. Hands down the best chase of the season, and truly the most spectacular views of this tornado. Great work, Freddy!
Love the shared victory ❤
Love how you put this together with everyone. Well done!
Thank you! They were a big part of the story that day so I had to include them somehow!
I hate myself.
@@Reelprankstergangsterwhy?
Those shots around 3:00 are just scary to look at - there's something apocalyptic about a tornado that lifts dust like that.
Looks like something straight out of Fury Road
1:23 I love how whoever was driving that car ahead of you had the BALLS to just pull up right next to a developing tornado and stop like the thing might not fully form in a heartbeat at any moment. Clearly, fear is a foreign concept to them.
I wouldn't be afraid of something like that.
@@colbylawson5331 Damn you're so tough and strong
Colby got cooked 😭
I have one word about all of that:
What.
I would try to see if I could fly in it lol
I love all the different video perspectives included (including mine)😆. Glad I was able to enjoy that day with you, Connor, Alex, and Mike. #Yuma2023
You guys did such an incredible job that day. Almost gave me a heart attack several times, but it was my favorite chase I've ever watched. Freddy put together a great video. I love all of you guys🙂🙃🙂🙃🫠
Thats a goldenado on yer name!
Thats a goldenado on yer name!
This was an awesome chase, definitely super scary too!
You guys need to invest in a Tesla Cyber Truck. Or at least shatter proof windows. Your life is on the line driving down the road with baseball sized hail and flying debris.
I remember this day, that was a crazy supercell for sure. Y'all did an incredible job chasing and filming the insanity of this tornado as it happened. Incredible video guys, thank y'all for what you do!
Hi
was watching you live from start to finish for this chase… heart-stopping beauty and terror. extremely well captured!
Glad you were there with me! That was a wild chase
Truly!!! 😱
One of the best chasing videos this year. Keep up the insane work Freddy!!
You're another great channel @tornadotrx!!!
Your in a ef 4 or 5
This is the first footage of a tornado this year that gave me chills. Just the detail and the close-up view of a once-in-a-lifetime tornado is crazy. The timelapse at 6:45 is just crazy as you can see how the tornado forms and starts to strengthen! Great video!
8:03 8:04
Can you see the dead man walking at 9:59 ? There is a Vortex appearing to the right of the main Tornado and it looks like a giant taking a step forward
The legend Itself!
where, I cant see it
Unfortunately I don’t think thats a dead man walking tornado. It would need an ’arm’ appear as well, not to mention it doesn’t really make the walking motion but good guess!
That was the most insane chase I have witnessed. Especially, the 3 different types of tornado that made itself known from one storm. That was intense!!!! Felt like I was reliving that live stream again!!!! Awesome to see you, Ryan, Alex, Mike, and Connor were all there to capture that incredible footage!!!!
Thanks D Man!!
Tornado literally said "sike" to an entire town
twice i was there and they had the sirens twice
@@somethingbutnothing2163idk what’s the name but I think it’s a ef0 tornado(no damage done to houses buildings and others)
@@tTHEWE-g nah it was an ef3 it hit a house south of town
2:41 BRO THAT WAS GIANT
Slowly shifting into a tornado nut myself, and what a feast this was! Absolutely fantastic editing and fitting music choices, and the fact you did it with friends adds a nice charm to it. I didn’t know tornadoes could loop :]!
You've captured absolutely fantastic tornado footage!! The best I've seen this year.
Same! Definitely the best 😮🤯
Thank you so much! I’ve been very fortunate this year!
4:16 🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪 years ago today i was
It was crazy catching this one live. If some of you guys haven't seen the streams, they are insane. 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks for sharing all these otherworldly experiences with us!
Boy did that bring back emotions from your live stream that evening. 😮
Thank you Freddy for making it possible for all of us to see what you are seeing. INCREDIBLE ‼️
Now to watch it like 7 more times 😊
Ya, this one is 100% a multiple replay scenario! Watching it live was INSANE
@@paigemaddi it was definitely insane! ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!! 😂
Thanks for an awesome video! Glad you got out safely! Rock on!
Thank you so much Proxima! That was an awesome chase! Wishing you a very happy holiday season!

9:06 gave me goosebumps, your staring at death itself.
Great job with this. I remember watching the thing unfold on your and other streams. This video really helps us understand the lifecycle of this unique tornado.
Wow, it's pretty rare to see up-close a tornado just starting. It's so undeveloped at that point it's no more than a dust devil.
Easily the best chase I've seen this season. Thank you for sharing this awesome footage with us!
WHY IS IT SO BIG
It's true but it's crazy that he looks at allot of tornadoes
We don't know why
Hehehe…..
That’s what she said
Oh it’s beacuse it’s a big cloud that is forming in to a tornado
4:51 Bro's window is screaming for help xD
This was my favorite chase of the 2023 season. It scared me half to death and gave me a total adrenaline rush at the same time, yet I was streaming. The reason it is my favorite was because of the excitement you, Ryan, Alex, Mike, and Connor expressed. It was AMAZING. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. AWESOME remix Freddy! Heartstopping! You are legendary already! 🥰
Mine too! Thanks for the awesome comment Lisa!
Absolutely love what you do! Keep being you and keep chasing 🩷🩷
You have a winning combination of amazing imagery, audio and visual explanations (I need them), and passion. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely incredible footage. And great work on editing all this together into a video that's a blast to watch from beginning to end!
Freddy... 😳 my heart was beating so fast watching this! First of all 2:40 and 3:00 are INSANE footage clips. Secondly, EXTREMELY well done video! I am thoroughly impressed! 🎉 you are awesome 😊❤
@MadsYT. miss you too!! 💙
Sorry for raising your heart rate so much. I’ll try to be more careful next time 😂
@@FreddyMcKinney 😆
Incredible day. Such an insane chase with you guys! Keep on crushing it man! 💪 #Yuma2023
I was so happy you were safe! #Gianthail/tornados
At around 5m20s it shows a satellite tornado, and then later the tornado becomes a wedge. I am wondering whether this type satellite tornado might be the same type as the "dead man walking" type (like the one in Jarrell TX 1997) which became an F5 tornado, or if the dynamics are different between this one and the one in Jarrell TX.
This footage is awesome!
Who is horrified by tornados but only wants to watch them?

I’m scared of rain 🌧️ so you know me

6:26 -6:28 "look at the rope man look at the rope ..it's roping out it's roping out "🤣🤣🤣🤣
stormchasers and repeatedly shouting extremely obvious things, name a more iconic duo
The cloud at 2:55 is terrifying
dude you’ve become a legendary tornado chaser! great catch man also what gear do you use to mount your camera near your shifter/dashboard area @0:49
Thanks man! It's a Manfrotto fluid head that's attached to a metal pole that comes up from the floorboard. Had to do some welding, but it was definitely worth it for what I do.
Wow I'm criminally early for this video. Another amazing one Freddy! You've quickly become one of my go to chasers to watch. Your videography, editing, and story telling so amazing. Keep up the great work and live your dream brother!
I'm currently working towards my degree to ultimately secure my future as not only a storm chaser, but as a meteorologist. I like how you are a veteran storm chaser & know the limits of what social media seems to do now. Yuma tornado was a beautiful & stunning tornado. Highly unusual in its path & yet still powerful. An EF3.
Good Work!
As a person who has never seen a tornado in my entire life I am very thankful that in Bulgaria there are no tornadoes bc this is HUGE.
brother, you made the best production ive ever seen. this is cinematic!
That's some incredbile footage!!! Great job and please stay safe ♥These things are no joke.
your video actually answered something I was wondering a while back- what do the beginnings of a tornado look like up close. you've got some awesome footage of it. :)
Nice work Freddy. Hoping I can get out a lot this next year. Been way to busy with work the last few years.
The yell at 3:54 had me laughing so hard. 😆😂🤣
Tornados are truly amazing and how big and small all the types of tornados are very amazing how much work and risk you guys take to share these tornados with us all we care about is how much effort risk and work for these videos thank you.
58.9k subs and producing content like this? You earned a new sub!
This was awesome footage and I was worried you’d get hit for a second towards the end!
This is crazy, I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more people talking about it. Keep it up!
tornadoes are one of the many things that amaze me more the more i learn about them
also DAYUM what was that intro music
I have studied tornado genesis for decades. Without going in to details, a current hypothesis of mine is that many tornados are are actually two are more stacked and embedded within each other. Not satellite tornadoes, but one or more emanating from different heights within the same parent updraft.
That’s what you captured at 09:56. That’s a high altitude deposition*/sublimation “engine” driven tube tornado descending down within a low altitude condensation “engine” driven wedge tornado.
Awesome and important that there.
*Gas straight to solid. Water vapor straight to ice.
"look at the rope out ..wowza "😂😂
4:35 it’s coming down, it’ssga hyuge 😂
Man, this is crazy! Especially the intro!
I live in Colorado and in the area that I live in there are not tornado sirens. They tell us that we do not need them because tornadoes do not hit west of I-25. Yet we had one that did exactly that earlier in the year.
What happens if I just… stop the tornado while it’s forming?
WYDM that’s literally impossible😂
@@LEMONS_ARE_GREAT ik but like… whose stopping me? Physics?
@@ihatepen real bro 🤣
Most tornadoes last up to about 20 minutes, but to see this thing go through this many cycles and last this long is CRAZY. Good luck out there and I'm glad you're safe. 😄
Awesome stuff Freddy! You boys know how to get business done!
I hope they understand how terribly things could go in a lick. Stay safe out there, love what you're doing though.
0:02 gave me the chills 😖
Sureee 😅😅
You really get into the intense areas of these storms and I love it! I love watching you taste these things because I’ve never seen anybody get as consistent as you have at the most intense storms I’ve ever seen. Very nice job keep it up.
YURRR this is gonnna be great
Interwiewer: What do you enjoy doing?
Freddy McKinney:
At the end it is also multi vortex
The second phase look's like a storm chasing final boss. Scary!
3:18 it looks like a dust devil
@@DanielCosta-zp6jl I made a joke about that to myself😂
less of a dust devil and more of a dust satan right there
this is one of the best tornado videos I have ever watched. thanks for uploading!
Top tier! 🎉🎉
I’m watching this right after I watched the movie Twisters, it really makes me appreciate meteorologists and storm chasers a whole lot more. Thank you for what you’re doing and never give up man✊
excellent!
I know this was 8 months ago but this video is forever one of my favorites , it’s honestly mesmerizing how many phases and shapes this tornado took
Awsome 😊
First video i saw of you guys (recently got quite interested in tornado channels). This is well captured but one thing I really like is the map information, helps put things in perspective. Subbed.
so cool
I've now seen both you and Reed cover this tornado in great detail and it's such an incredible sight. I don't chase but I would have loved to see this in person..
A tornado is gigantic nobody can survive that
I think anyone can survive that its easy
it was an ef3 it only hit one house and they sirvived under a stair well
Thank you for compiling these incredible moments of nature. It really broadens my understanding!
I watched this on live.
I wish!! That must have been so amazing to view live!
That was a wild stream!
Staring down a tornado coming right at you is insane, amazing and informative video!
Great footage and editing. I also appreciate the respectful dialogue and the lack of profanity, even when emotions are high; thank you for that. BTW, “vortex” is the singular, “vortices” is the plural, and “vorticie” is not a word.
Title: The *Strangest*? tornado i've ever chased
Awesome video! I forgot the state of Colorado even gets tornadoes. I'm so use to them hitting Iowa, Kansas, Texas and Oklahoma. I don't know how long Freddy's been doing these chases, but it's amazing how much he and his team survive these quests to view tornadoes.
what are you doing
Storm chasing
His work
Bruh that’s literally what he is supposed to
His job while recording.
The thumbnail of this video is way more scary than you think. Look, if you see a tornado forming tentacles or a double tornado, that means the tornado is so hungry, that it is forming tentacles. And for most people who have seen that, it was the last thing they ever saw too. I hope you understood. Have a good day😊✨
If tentacles are forming off a tornado then it’s a multi vortex tornado. That is either a very strong EF4 or EF5
❤🇮🇳
1:33 more looks like a Dust Devil upclose
2:08 I knew it, or am I wrong?
2:15 Mesocyclone? Yeah I was right about the Dust Devil part
Yoo that frist tornado looked insane!!!! And it looked so cool! Btw this video is awesome!
Im so glad ur okay!!
Im pretty sure it became a multi vortex at its wedge form- but i might be wrong.
Amazing video thank you so much for sharing it I live in Colorado about 60 miles from Yuma so it was scary my Aunt lives there amazing video of the tornado
I can not believe that storms are so strong like be safe out there storm chasers❤
Sweet video maybe one day I'll get to chase or see a Land Tornado (I have seen a waterspout come ashore and become a brief Tornado/Landspout) I live right by Lake Erie so I do get to see Waterspouts on Lake Erie Alot October 7th 2023 I caught a huge outbreak in Fairport Harbor Ohio I observed 55 Waterspout Funnel Clouds and 7 Mature Waterspouts that day
WOAH YOU GIYS WE HAVE TO GET HIM TO 10 MILLION HES LITERALLY RISKING HIS LIFE FOR VIEWS PLEASE GET HIM TO TEN MILL I APPRECIATE ALL THE VIDS HE COULD’VE NOT MAKED IT THAT IS INSANE HE RISKED SO MUCH. 😮❤😊
Darn your a great storm chaser! One day, you and reed should collaborate! Keep chasing!
You guys have really valuable information on the tornado as it forms even that dust can help scientists understand how tornadoes form and why.
Dont let it go to waist and amazing video :)
Ive only been watching your account for 2 days now but i am so happy i found it,cause honestly i am obsessed with nature, and would want to learn everything about it, and your videos are so perfect. Perfect videography, explanations are just flawless! I love everything about your channel.
You gained urself a subscriber 💗
it almost looks like that thing was orbitating around something else. CRAZY!!
4:31 i like how you can see the storm flattening at the troposphere which means it's still intensifying
Good chasing guys! Fantastic footage, bet the livestream was crazy to be watching at the time.
Those people in Yuma are very fortunate that just missed them, especially when any tornado turns into a wedge. That was unreal
I wonder the loops could've been due to those satellites spawning. The one you captured at 5:07 is crazy, not only due to its size, but also how high in the air it was.
If the satellite was trying to force a handoff, then it might've repositioned the inflow to where the main circulation got pushed around a bit before reorganizing back to stability. The fact that it eventually turned into a multivortex wedge suggests maybe it had a few opportunities to handoff, explaining why it performed multiple loops.
I'm not a meteorologist, so I wouldn't know the answer,s here at all, this is purely me being curious because this phenomenon is fascinating.
Filming the feeding habits of these Massive Beings will lead to saving lives!!! Keep up the great work 👍
Cool video! This tornado might be one of the most well documented tornadoes ever.
