What a tornado looks like when you're directly below it.

Personally, I think the cameraman must have had a death-wish what with all that dangerous debris surrounding his vehicle, but he survived, so there ya go. He did capture this footage. And is it just me or does it seem like we're having more frequent tornadoes this year?

Drama Queen Storm Chasers, had to turn the audio off. Straight guys are so dramatic when they put themself in the line of fire just to get off on how close they put themself near danger.

Amazing video! And no, it’s not your imagination. These are now a daily occurrence.

Back in 2015, 85-year-old Clem Schultz was as cool as a cucumber when he recorded an EF-4 tornado directly hitting his house, killing his wife and next-door neighbor.

I'm conscious of the pronunciation of these midwesterners and Oklahomans and my gawd, Nebraska, Iowa, etc. ternadoes, or tornadle, or ternadle. Fascinating.

Though the average number of tornadoes is roughly the same, there have been fewer in the traditional Tornado Alley region and more in the Southeast. But it seems like the ones we have are getting stronger over time. There was some talk a while back about adding a new level (F6) to the zero-through-five Fujita scale to recognize the stronger storms. I think a category six has been suggested for the increasing strength of hurricanes, as well.

OP that's Reed Timmer ("Dr. Reed Timmer") one of the craziest storm chasers on YT. He actually chases storms in a custom built tank that can lower and anchor itself to the ground with spikes, in order to take a direct hit from a tornado so they can study and film it

These tornadoes are NOTHING to what's going to happen later this year with Hurricanes. Have you seen how hot the water is ALREADY in May?
It's going to be catastrophic - fuck Florida though. I'm fine with it.
April / May is always bad for tornadoes and extreme storms in Kansas and Nebraska - but I can't blame them for chasing the one exciting thing they have in that area. It's sooooo fucking boring and flat, tornadoes are all they got for excitement. Seriously.

Although to be fair, the Jarrell, TX tornado sounded monstrous.
That's the infamous one shaped like a dead man walking.

R1, R2, yes the commentary is sort of unbearable. All of these straight tornado-chasing bros have the same affect. This is probably the most exciting that happens in these here prairie states.

Yeah, they don't have the thrill of being sprayed with flaming liquid on the subway.

I have an unnatural interest in this weather phenomenon and YouTube has great footage uploaded for viewing, op. I only watch the storm footage, I don't want to see pictures of people or animals being killed. There's recent footage poster of people who just made their way into a storm shelter in Oklahoma, no one was injured but their expensive rvs were totaled and the survivors are understandably spooked.

You think that’s crazy? The NOAA has people that fly INTO hurricanes to track and monitor them, as well as to gather data

R30, aren't they safe as long as they're within the eye of the hurricane?

R31, I'm not R30, but they're safe at altitude (eye or not) as long as they took their Dramamine ;-)
