Skip- I always enjoy your videos because the footage is great, and your analysis and knowledge seem really sharp. But I have to add that one thing I really dig about your videos is that it's not a carload of screaming, hysterical chasers repeating themselves (and the obvious) 400 times in a 30 second span. I really can't say enough how much I appreciate that.
ABSOLUTE!!!!! I can't even tell you how many times I think that while watching storm chasing/tornado videos, and commenting on them as well. There are only a few channels (chasers) that are actually enjoyable to watch without having to mute the video just to make it bearable. Pecos Hank is ALWAYS spot on, a chill dude, funny as hell, chases alone so no drama nor screaming, and he shoots in 4k now. So Skip: GREAT video! And I second everything from the main comment. Keep doing your thing, and thank you sincerely for the stellar narration as well. 👍
With most other chaser videos, I am frequently spending a lot of time saying "Shut the hell up!" But with Skip and Pecos Hank, I can watch the epitomes of storm chasing. No whooping and hollering like 'The Dukes of Hazzard Go Storm Chasing'. No repetitive Captain Obvious commentary. I previously commented on a Moore, OK tornado video (ua-cam.com/video/lLHKVXiUpcQ/v-deo.html) that "The best tool a storm chaser can carry while filming a tornado is duct tape. To put over his mouth."
I have heard and read about twin tornadoes, but this..just..wow. And the satelite spinning around the main vortex is simply unreal. You folks did an outstanding job at not only being at the right place in the right time, but also filming, commenting and editing this footage. Five out of five.
Wow... (said in subdued wonder). I, for one, am somewhat thankful that you and Jennifer were ''late to the party', and had to core punch to see the mighty twins. The misty view of the two monsters against a backdrop of green created an extended period of spookiness that I have never seen in any other tornado video. And the genesis & maturation of the new vortex into a massive multi-vortex beast was mesmerizing, and it all reached a climax as its satellite tornado was flung around its periphery while the rest of the sky spun & boiled. Evidently, Mother Nature saved some of her best choreography for your end of the stage! A fortuitous choice of seats indeed! :-)
This day was pretty much insane and dangerous. So many tornadoes in such a short time and that powerful: it is definitely a rare sight. I find it as fascinating as creepy, it just felt like tornadoes were dropping everywhere and randomly. Remember I was watching on a live stream that day and kept feeling worried for the chasers as it seemed like a tornado could form just out of sight.
wow ive never seen anything like this especially that satellite moving across the field that quickly? that was incredible and then after the satellite lifting the tornado becomes so organized and wedged its just phenomenal! Excellent video!
That wide angle time lapse is stunning. Crazy that there wasn't a swarm of other chasers streaming past your location. That in itself would have unnerved me.
Great work as usual skip, appreciated as always. Would be a dream to witness such an event like that in person but haunting knowing the potential for loss of life, mixed feelings as always.
If you had a wind-muffler on your microphone, maybe we might be able to hear the roar of the tornado instead of the wind battering the mic'. ;) Thanks for sharing. :) Stay safe out there.
Hi Skip, I've loved your videos since I started watching them a year ago. Great work! I wanted to be a tornado chaser when I was a kid, now I can live that dream through your videos. I've always wondered what it might look from your perspective, specifically how it looks from a stereoscopic perspective. It must be incredible. Do you think you could film the tornado in 3D? Seeing as though the tornado is really far away, you could take two cameras and put them at a distance of about 2 meters. As long as they are shooting the same thing, and at more or less the same height, you can combine the footage with a number of programs and upload it using youtube's 3D interface, in either crosseyed or stereoscopic. I have a lot of experience with 3D shooting if you do decide to do it and would be happy to help. Best of luck and stay safe!
Thanks for the comments. I know of a couple of chasers that are attempting to shoot 3D. You are definitely right about spacing the cameras farther apart. My thoughts are that this would make the storm and tornado seem artificially smaller, but perhaps this sensation wouldn't be too distracting. I think 3D video could really shine with a super close range debris shot or large hail shot, so that there are small objects moving close to the camera. You'd need an armored vehicle to get those shots though, something I'm not equipped for, but a Sean Casey is.
You got some of the most beautiful tornado footage I've ever seen. That experience just HAD to be mesmerizing, terrifying, hypnotizing, horrifying, stunning, and shocking, all wrapped into one heart-pounding moment! Thank you for sharing such an incredible display of mother nature's wrath!
Excellent! Beautiful detail and video. Love your informative commentary. Amazing how this tornado morfs and changes! Thank you for posting. The shots of the multiple vorticss are fabulous!
Excellent job on the video. This is one cyclic tornadic supercell that will be studied for many years to come. This the first time I have ever seen two violent tornadoes on the ground at once.
Skip, the Tornado Superman! No words to describe this; awesome and mesmerizing aren't good enough. My question; how far apart were the twin EF4's from each other? And how can they form so close together without sucking the life from each other? As I've learned from your other videos, the structure of the tornado is so large . . . I'm very curious.
+SkyWardDude This storm needs to be a scientific case study, but data other than storm chaser video is probably limited. I'd have to triangulate video again to see how far apart the Pilger and E Pilger tornadoes were. I'm guessing it's miles though, which is enough spacing that they can remain semi-independent. They likely were interacting though. E Pilger crossed the path of the Pilger tornado, as it was probably orbiting it. Then later on, the rope out phase of Pilger orbited the Wakefield EF4. Pilger and E Pilger looked closer when viewed at an oblique angle. Tornadoes that get too close to each other start to undergo what's known as the Fujiwhara Effect. They begin to orbit each other and may combine or merge. It's an additive process rather than a subtractive one, meaning they don't suck the life out of each other, but they join forces to form a bigger tornado.
I couldn't help but notice how fast the satellite was moving forward. I don't think I have ever seen one with that kind of ground speed. Truly amazing.
I've never seen a tornado move that fast, so I was very curious to know exactly how fast it was moving. Using different storm chaser videos I was able to triangulate the tornado's position at different times. I estimate it achieved a forward speed of almost 90 miles per hour. I believe this tornado was ejected by the rear flanking downdraft winds and into the Wakefield EF4 circulation, like some sort of sling shot. Interestingly, I also think that satellite is not a newly formed tornado, but the rope out phase of the Pilger EF4. The condensation funnel had either been obscured or dissolved temporarily, but the damage survey shows a continuous damage path across the path of both the Pilger EF4 and this satellite. Here's an infographic documenting the forward speed measurements: fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10518662_778872178799911_701629795695032731_n.jpg?oh=6af824f04c55269c476822b6a2c30b28&oe=54929283&__gda__=1418670282_b9e002217d7f5b570648b49c9e45e41c
Phil, as Skip said, Your footage is going to be EPIC! Well, it is EPIC indeed! LOL what a beautiful tornado and the video quality is AMAZING. THAT ROAR is CRAZY!!!! Never seen this much detail in any video except this one! Marvelous job y'all!!!!
I remember watching the weather channel and seeing this unfold. I was like wait a second there’s one but then I got shocked when I saw the other tornado, i yelled to my dad, saying “dad get in here there’s literally two tornadoes on the ground at the same time!” He comes running in and his reaction was like this in three emoji‘s 😳😱😦 . We were both shocked to see two tornadoes doing damage at the same time. I was seven years old when this happened. And I’ve been into storm chasing ever since the Pilger Twin EF-4’s, the devastating Moore F-5 in 2013, and the 2.5 mile wide El Reno tornado which surprisingly was classified as an F-3 based on the damage instead of being rated as an F-5 even though the winds were recorded at a max speed of 299mph.
I've always wanted a tornado to happen until me and my friends were having a sleepover (4 of us) and there was a tornado not to far and the tornado sirens were going off, it was scary
The impressions of this are a lot different to me since I have seen Hank's Fastest Tornado video. Didn't pay much attention to the "satellite" before, but now it looks obvious in this video that it was a solo tornado that held its own for a long time.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING SKIP. CAN YOU TELL ME HOW DO MULTIPLE VORTICIES TORNADO FORMS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS A BREAK IN THE DAMAGE PATH. IS THERE SUCH A THING??
Tennessee, Ohio, Virginia, and Kentucky as well as Michigan and Nebraska and Kansas to Mississippi and Missouri, Oklahoma are all tornado zones. Thunderstorms are tornadoes! Even in supercell squalls. Forward to Skip Talbot and Pecos Hank and all tornado chasers!
Yeah, the smaller satellite was actually being carried by the winds of the large multiple vortex. The multi-vortex then literally ate the remnants of that satellite, adding to its own strength, and that's about the time it turned into a monster.
They're both damage scales used to rate and compare the strength of tornadoes. The Enhanced Fujita scale updates the Fujita scale with additional types of damage used for the the rating, and refines the estimated wind speeds that might have caused that damage based on engineering studies. You can think of them as the same thing though, and the ratings are meant to be compatible/comparable. The EF scale is basically v2.0 of the F scale.
If only all tornado footage was shot this beautifully and high contrast. I’m a sucker for non-pro camera phones hitting unsuspecting people because of the surprise and danger, but I would kill to see footage like this of some of those tornadoes, like anything from the super outbreak or Joplin.
I have talked to many storm and tornado experts about this and had mixed answers on a question I had pertaining to this event. My question was could or would it be possible for these 2 Titans to converge into 1 mamouth tornado? I Was told no due to each storm pushing the other away and also heard yes but it would actually not be any bigger than the other. More like a dominant force overtaking the weaker of the 2. Then heard an answer that really intrigued me. The answer was it could possibly be the biggest of all tornados that mankind has ever seen.
Two of the tornadoes actually do merge in this video. The small satellite, even though it appears to dissipate, is likely being ingested by the last large tornado in the video. That satellite was actually the "rope out", dissipation stage of the main Pilger EF4 tornado, and it fed directly into what became the Wakefield EF4. These are additive or cumulative forces. Merging tornadoes result in a stronger tornado, in fact when that developing tornado "eats" the satellite I believe this is what really caused it to intensify into the big tornado that it was. One of the proposed theories for tornado formation is that they are an aggregation of a lot of accumulated smaller vortices, and it's a theory I subscribe to having seen the process unfold a few times in person. To learn more about merging cyclones, you can read up on the Fujiwhara Effect: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fujiwhara_effect
So was yours the footage around 11:04 use in amazon primes the boys season 2 episode 5 32:17 watching that episode right now and recognized the tornados right away they show a tighter shot but the angle is dead on
The twins were each from separate mesocyclones. A third mesocyclone developed to the northeast and produced another violent tornado. Meanwhile one of the twins, the Pilger tornado, persisted and it was actually ingested by this third circulation. Even though it started as a separate tornado, it became a satellite as it roped out. Super fascinating how that unfolded
This seriously is the best footage out there so far. The storm structure, the camera work and shot location....all incredible. Congrats!
Skip- I always enjoy your videos because the footage is great, and your analysis and knowledge seem really sharp.

Yes, we worked with Hank on that project :)

Awesome video Skip! What a chase day that was
Well done - the backlit close-ups of the multiple vortex are very good. Just wondering how close did the new lowering pass your initial position?
Awesome, can't think of anything else to describe this video.
Best tornado video I've seen. Of course, it's too bad there was death and destruction.

Was any of this time lapsed? I'm only asking since the speed of the small tornado seemed unreal
The wide angle shot at 10:49 is sped up, but everything is normal speed. That satellite tornado was moving about 90 mph.
what's the difference between an f5 and an ef5? i don't get it or are they the same?
They're both damage scales used to rate and compare the strength of tornadoes. The Enhanced Fujita scale updates the Fujita scale with additional types of damage used for the the rating, and refines the estimated wind speeds that might have caused that damage based on engineering studies. You can think of them as the same thing though, and the ratings are meant to be compatible/comparable. The EF scale is basically v2.0 of the F scale.

This is giveing me serious cabin fever for storms right now lol Nice job.
that's a hypercell

incredible
Is that Pilger Nebraska got hit by two tornadoes
If only all tornado footage was shot this beautifully and high contrast. I’m a sucker for non-pro camera phones hitting unsuspecting people because of the surprise and danger, but I would kill to see footage like this of some of those tornadoes, like anything from the super outbreak or Joplin.
I have talked to many storm and tornado experts about this and had mixed answers on a question I had pertaining to this event. My question was could or would it be possible for these 2 Titans to converge into 1 mamouth tornado? I Was told no due to each storm pushing the other away and also heard yes but it would actually not be any bigger than the other. More like a dominant force overtaking the weaker of the 2. Then heard an answer that really intrigued me. The answer was it could possibly be the biggest of all tornados that mankind has ever seen.

@Pecos Hank did a video analyzing the speed of that specific satellite tornado at 11:39! It broke a record for being the FASTEST tornado!
Not even a satellite, it was the roping stage of the original.

What a well-written account, and spectacular photos!
+Skip Talbot's Storm Chasing Chronicles i think that sattelite was the rope of one of those twin ef4s that came out of the rain.
That's so beautiful! I'M CRYING :,-
What camera do you guys use?
Youz DA Man Skip awesome capture !!
11:47 that satellite was moving at 94 mph. Imagine standing in the field and watching that fly by you.

nice step by step dialogue to keep folks calm
Hi Skip, if a regular guy with no storm chasing experience (me) wanted to tag along on a chase, how would he go about that?
I recommend going with a reputable tour: College of DuPage if you want a hands on educational experience. Tempest if you want to be more of a tourist.
AMAZING, ASTOUNDING, OUTSTANDING, MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, just amazing !

Amazing!
7:18 is about where a huge pressure drop occurs.
These folks sound like they are from straight out of Fargo, North Dakota. I love it, hahaha
DMC12Gauge my mom is from Fargo and you're 100% right lol
Notice how that big sattelite rode the notch
I think thats what happened in Dayton 5/27/19 maybe ,but it was at night, so no footage.
So what caused this? Did one of the twins start out ad a satellite and had enough energy to blow up on its own?
The twins were each from separate mesocyclones. A third mesocyclone developed to the northeast and produced another violent tornado. Meanwhile one of the twins, the Pilger tornado, persisted and it was actually ingested by this third circulation. Even though it started as a separate tornado, it became a satellite as it roped out. Super fascinating how that unfolded
It is far the most amazing tornado 🌪️ I have seen. But what I am seeing, must be extremely think cloud .
So good guy's, so so good! Stay safe out there and keep doin what your doin...
When you hear that hail knocking its time to get rocking!! Did you call the nsw to report this???
We use Spotter Network to send reports to the weather service, and they were well on top of the situation by the time we were on the storm.
2 EF4s at the same time = me shitting a pile of bricks and running like a bat out of hell
Those poor transmission towers :c they must've been scared to death
Hearing Jennifer get freaked out is a rarity indeed.
