    This is a weird tornado. EF 4, yet so small, even tiny, and with a small supercell on top. It's almost like someone made a scale model of a tornado and it escaped from his shed.

    This is honestly more impressive than seeing many large tornadoes. With the relatively small size of it, you get a MUCH greater sense of the speed and power of the winds you're likely to experience.

    From personal experience, you don't want to be anywhere near one, even a tiny F0. I've been physically inside an F0 and even being tiny by tornado standards, it was the single loudest thing I've ever heard and the sheer speed at which things went from "what the hell is that?" to ")(*#@$)(*#@$Y" was literally a second or two. If I hadn't been in the big rows of willow trees we have, I have no doubt I wouldn't have fared so well. Even so, the amount of debris was ridiculous. It happened a hell of a lot faster than the movie twister portrays it (Edited: As in, how long it stuck around as it swept over me and to the north north east.), but the flying debris, yeah, that's a thing. Buckets, pieces of trees, plastic lids, pretty much anything and everything you can think off, like having an entire classroom of 10 year olds playing dodgeball against a single person, but with objects. The pressure drop was crazy too. It only lasted for *maybe* a second and a half, but you couldn't mistake it. It was like being in a 70's pickup at a buck twenty down the highway and cracking a window really fast, then whipping it back up a second later. Very surreal experience. Good thing nobody got hurt though, the road was impassible and took us hours to clear the debris away from the damage path. :/

    Oh, also, if you're fascinated by them, one interesting tidbit that surprised me: The center part wasn't windy hardly at all. At least, not compared to the initial wind shear I experienced. I would call it more like general turbulence in random directions. And loud. VERY VERY loud. But the center part was nothing like I thought it would have been like. Just rapid wind shear one direction, a second or two of ear popping low pressure with sort of random turbulence in random directions with the unbelievable noise, then BAM! wind shear the opposite direction, then it was over. Boy we had a lot of bad weather all at one time during that few years though. I never had fear of that sort of thing before, but after these experiences, I started having nightmares of F5's literally digging me out of our underground shelter (our water pump is in an underground "pit" that we use for shelter). Probably didn't help to see all those pictures of F5's from the U.S. that dig up dirt fields, ripped up concrete and pavement and took homes and cleaved off everything in the basement right down to the concrete surface, even service pipes, etc. Ugh.

    Funny things with tornadoes the slower the wind seems the faster and dangerous it actually is. I’m surprised he didn’t get picked up and thrown into the air considering it’s an EF4… for most of the twister’s life it was classified as an EF3 but towards its peak the wind speeds indicated those of an EF5!!! It was never classified an EF5 tho cause it barely caused any damage. The EF scale goes off how much damage it did. So I do believe this could be just an EF3 or maybe even EF2

    The thing is, most tornados, especially ones this strong, usually kick up loads of dust and debris, meaning even if you get that close, you can't see jack. And most tornados that don't kick up tons of crap are so weak that there's not all that much to see at that range that you can't see just as well from a much safer distance, all of which means that high power drillbits like this one encountering people both crazy and skilled enough to get that close, with high quality cameras, AND live to share their footage, is a very rare treat indeed

    This tornado is like a model- it's like it wants to be seen. It graces everyone with its presence, allowing them to witness its powerful beauty. And then it disappears unceremoniously in a field after doing it's careful dance, as if it were avoiding the barn and barnhouse, leaving you with a once in a lifetime memory.

    This might be the most beautiful chase footage I’ve ever seen and this is coming from a fellow chaser. The violence on display when it got down to a small point on the ground is mind boggling. Also, the contrast between the bright green fields still glowing in the sun as that powerful nado digs into the ground is so mesmerizing. Really a well done video and thanks for sharing.

    I’m guessing that the busted windshield comes with the job ......

    Yep, though most commonly from hail, rather than wind. I've lost one windshield and have enough dents for my car to look like it had a stippling job.

    Such a strange tornado. It's so violent, but so tight, with needle point accuracy. What a little monster.

    One of the gutsiest, and one of the best tornado chasing videos of ever seen. And I have seen a lot. Congrats and well-done.

    The amount of balls this guy has. Holy Jesus. By far the best, up-close tornado footage on youtube. Very visual on the aspect of looking at a supercell from the sky and then focusing up close on the ground as the tornado literally "drills" into the ground at the end of the video. Very impressive and errie looking and sounding. Liked and subbed.

    Bravo! I've seen footage of Tornadoes my whole life as I've always been fascinated by them. I've never seen such an incredibly brave group getting so close to a Tornado in my whole life. My only hope is that you knew you were safe enough to approach it that close. Incredible footage! Pecos Hank would be proud I hope.

    It’s important to remember that the size of tornado has absolutely no correlation with the strength of a tornado! You can have a small tornado that is actually very violent. You can also have a large tornado that is relatively weak as far as tornadoes go. Do not make the mistake of thinking that your life is somehow in less danger if a small tornado is approaching you versus a large tornado!

    Some of the best footage I've seen! The speed at the base of that tornado was crazy fast. And that sound too, wow!

    I'll say that sound was incredible! Chasers don't do that enough. They leave the main camera in the car and so you can never hear the Tornado. That sound was eerie! Like it was beckoning you to come just a little closer. I get that you can't always get the camera out so close, mainly because of rain and of course TORNADO! But still you getting the camera out of the car without the window impending vision and so we can hear it? Makes this the best video EVER! Good mic on the camera too!

    It’s baffling how many people think EF4-EF5 tornadoes have to be a certain size. Are we forgetting that the 2007 Manitoba F5 wasn’t a monster wedge?
