Just want to let it be known that I’m just an autistic kid with ADHD and that it’s hard for me to control my emotions at times. So I’m sorry if parts of the video may be cringy, but please don’t leave any mean or annoying comments about it. Any mean or annoying comments will be removed. If you don’t like the video then please simply just leave it. Thanks for watching! UPDATE: Also now that I think about it, this probably actually wasn’t golf ball sized hail but some of the hailstones were atleast around 1 inch big and the winds were gusting near or around 60-70 mph especially at the beginning. Thanks for over 500 likes and 20K views!

I was in a tornado when I was 8 years old in a mobile home. I was terrified everytime it clouded up until I was in my 20's. I'm 59 now and have made peace with those monsters. I have great respect for tornadoes now, that's for sure.

Great video, thank you! That was some storm. ❤ For those of you making fun of the size of the hail & the wind speed, some people on the spectrum see and feel things much more intensely than neurotypicals. The world is so much nicer when we're kind. ❤

At least it wasn't golf ball size hail it was pea-size hell or should I say nickel size hail😊

I’m from Minnesota and live in Germany. You just can’t describe this kind of weather that strikes that primal fear into you to those who have never experienced it. That adrenaline and the fight between saving yourself and wanting to see nature’s awesome power. I heard that in your voice.

Great video! Don’t let haters get to you. Some people just don’t have anything better to do than to troll and hate because they are jerks.

You done a great job at capturing such an intense thunderstorm. The opening shot of the dark clouds in the distance with the siren being heard in the background was menacing enough for me to hold my attention. Thank you for sharing the video!

You have high emotions, but you stayed and videoed this storm. That's a big deal! Very well done!

This was an awesome video young man. The more you make the better they will be. Incredible display of Mother Nature in action!

Also important to remember that it's not always 'emotional' anxiety! It can be a medical reaction to the sudden low barometric pressure. I actually have to take medication during extreme tornadic weather. If you're not sure if there's a tornado and you have a tornado warning, always best to seek shelter. That sounds like a broken record but I've been in that situation, and you may have only seconds to get there! And just to clarify, the tornado siren will not sound during the entire tornado threat, only upon their issuing the warning, and possibly a second time if it's upgraded to confirmed or life threatening. You did a great job filming this!! Stay safe!

You never need to be sorry. Thanks for sharing.😊

Someday we’ll be watching this kid as a meteorologist on The Weather Channel!!

I love it when someone posts storm videos. Thanks.

2 stay as calm as u was recording all of this is remarkable, some people would of run 2 shelter, being a uk resident I've never really seen weather like this so total respect 2 u, ur an amazing person and what u do is equally amazing, never forget that❤❤❤

This is really good footage of some pretty dramatic and intense weather. Speaking personally, I've never seen anything like it (living in the benign ol' UK!), and it's fascinating how quickly the weather turns from lovely Spring weather, to a dark, rain-wracked apocalypse. Nothing to apologise for. Your honesty is appreciated, and kudos for some terrific filmwork!

I lived in Security, Colo. (about 12 miles south of Colorado Springs) in the late 50s through middle 60s. I remember the huge storms like this, even before the sirens were installed. Huge hail and rivers of rain rushing down the street, and having to reroof our house afterwards. Something to remember! Thanks for a great video!

Thanks! I live in Eastern Iowa where severe weather happens a lot during the spring and summer with our peak timing usually being in Late May.

A few months ago a tornado struck a tree in our backyard here in eastern Pennsylvania. That tree fell right into our living room and caused considerable damage. Luckily we were all overseas. We’re still waiting for a couple of windows to be replaced. Very very scary but thank God no one was hurt.

I am a lifelong resident of Kansas City, I have experienced that before. The sirens spook my cats.

Thank you for kindness sharing this video with us.. you did a fantastic job.. we all appreciate you with all my kindest truest respectful words melody aka lostgirl 💕😊

You are so brave to keep videoing

Just stumbled across your video! Fantastic! The cloud formations and hail were awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Great video! You did an fantastic job recording the progression of the storm.

You are braver than I. Saw one of these supercell storms in AZ and hid in the upstairs hallway till my husband came home. Thanks for sharing the rain though.

Wow! That is one crazy storm! I love footage of storms they are so cool! At least there isn’t a lot of wind. Not yet I’m over halfway through the video and still no wind gusts so that’s at least good no wind damage. But hail damage maybe! Love the video

First and foremost keep yourself safe!! Thank you for sharing your scary weather. I live in Scotland we don't tend to get seriously violent thunder storms, Tornadoes aren't unknown here but nothing like on the scale you guys see. It's amazing how quickly they get going isn't It? We get really intense wind storms in the winter, when there's no leaves on the trees so they don't tend to get uprooted.

My oldest sister lives in Iowa. She told me about the storms they have there and how bad they get. Crazy. ⛈🌩

9:53 the hail sounded like popcorn popping lol

Awesome video my friend, greetings from the Netherlands ..

That green sky is a sign of hail, just so you know for the future. Good job.

Well, that was excellently shot with no cringe moments at all. Glad it turned out to be just an intense storm and not a twister. I love extreme weather, though, once we had our first tornado alert ever, I wanted to be in the downstairs apt, but they weren't home, so I remained upstairs which was creepy. Only some wild winds and distant thunder, so turned out fine. Thanks for sharing!

I love a good storm, and that was a good one. Thanks for sharing.

Being October now, we're out of our thunderstorm season. Next month starts our potential tornado season. If we tornadoes, it happens between November and April. This last February I had one of those pencil thin tornadoes move over the lake in my backyard and between mine and my neighbors house. Not too bad. Now in February 2020, we had 4 tornadoes within 1 mile. One of which was only about 150 feet away and did damage. Exciting and scarey. And in April 2011 I saw golf ball size hail for the first time. Scared me. I never saw any that size before. That storm ended up producing a significant twister about 2 miles after it passed me. I got lucky. The temperature went from 88⁰ to 54⁰ in about 10 minutes time. It smelled of pine SO strong outside due to the hail destroying all the pine trees.

Just today, had my first SEVERE thunderstorm at my area, which is why I watched this.

Thank you for sharing this with all of us!! You did an amazing job getting a lot of the shots!! I live near the Gulf Coast in Alabama and we just started Hurricane Season, 6/1 - 11/30 Hopefully we wont have any major hurricanes this year!!!! Keep up the good work with your videos!!!!

Dang!!!! That last one was something else!!!!! 10/10 to that camera guy kid!!!!!

Now that is a rocking rousing storm! Like the narration of the storm video! No,you wouldn’t want to be out in that “noggin knocker hail!

Great video 😊

I was in a restaurant that took a direct hit from lightning. It short circuited the electrical power and we were forced to evacuate in the pouring rain due to possible fire. It was very scary and we were told the building glowed green when it was hit. Ever since, I run for cover when lightning is near. Weather is no joke.

Thank you for sharing your video! I know it’s a year later, but we had a bad storm a few weeks ago with high winds and hail. I live outside of Houston and we don’t get tornadoes, when our storm happened I got so scared! I’m 44 and was crying, asking my husband what do we do 100 times, paced back and forth………storms like this are very scary! Your emotions are valid, understandable, and justified hun❤️❤️

Nice video. I was impressed with the editing, transitions and the captions too. I find stormy weather quite calming…but that hail and the thought of a tornado would make anyone anxious. Thanks for sharing..

That was such a crazy amount of hail yes. Thank you for sharing🌹

I think you did an amazing job capturing the storm. I liked the raw emotion it proves you are a human being with feelings sympathy and empathy. Storms are scary and you were brave to film in the first place! Never feel the need to apologize for being amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless you and your family❤

I’ve no idea how I ended up watching this video but here I am. I’m in Scotland where we never see weather like that. We have more than our fair share of rain but definitely not hail, thunder or lightning. The tornado siren would be terrifying to hear for real though. For us that only happens in movies. Thanks for posting this for the rest of the world to see. 👍

Great video. I love a good storm. Thanks for posting. Nice neighborhood.

I understand being afraid of severe storms. We had a line pass close to my home and it dropped, golf-ball to tennis ball sized hail here in Arkansas. The ice had spikes on them, looked like medieval weapons. Cool video, that was a lot of hail and high winds.

When hail gets to be golfball size, we call them window breakers and roof punchers

That was a lot of hail!!! As it was coming in, it looked like you could see some microbursts coming out of the clouds in the distance as well (which can look like a tornado if they're narrow in scope. . .)!

Apologize for nothing !! I love how your moments of pure emotion really gave me a feel for how powerful this storm must have been in person. I love how you gave us different angles, and view points. You captured this storm perfectly. But holy crap that hail pile up on the deck must have been insane to experience. I’ve never seen such a thing. ❤

Great video, well done young man.

I’ve been through the same- just with no 70-80 mph winds- but we did get quarter and golf ball hail ( a few pieces were hen egg 2 inches ) but other than that we did not get hit by a tornado.

Coming from someone who has a fear of windstorms (anything over 40mph gets my heart racing) i totally get it. Althought i tend to get quiet.

You're bright. You react appropriately to things, and notice things, and haters are not bright enough to see how important weather happens to be. Don't worry about them. They are soft in the head. GREAT video!!

Nice job!

Its ok to overreact. I had a fear of thunderstorms a huge amount and i learned to calm my self down by putting headphones in. Don’t worry just remember its ok. Also i can give you tips on how to overcome your fear cause i still have a small fear of thunderstorms.

Man you guys get some pretty crazy weather in Iowa. Im in Connecticut and this is for the most part the worst we get and its really very rare. Thanks for sharing.

This is an example of classic tornado weather and its interesting. Before all the hail and rain, it seems the winds and Mother Nature had already decided what the plan was at about the 4:19 mark in the video. There was no rain yet, but the winds were starting to whip around. The instability had started. Gotta love Mother Nature. Even the winds with semi clear skies and were fast and unstable at the 4:19 mark. Winds were whipping before the tornado! I think I would get a heart attack.

Hey sweetie don't apologise for having these fears, some people are scared of storms, tornadoes, I would be too. ❤

Thankyou for making this - my Autistic son loves storms and loved your video!

No need to apologize. Once you’ve been through a really severe storm, it can definitely trigger your fear with subsequent storms later on. I went through this any time it even rained after id been through a tornado that came up during the night. Even the sight of storm clouds would make my anxiety go up for years afterwards. Very neat video. Almost felt like I could feel the wind and smell the rain as it came in.

Obviously I watched for my fascination with storms; good job staying on it and documenting it for us to see.

Wow. I hope that everyone was ok after this harrowing experience. Thank you for sharing!

Outstanding job. Please make more!

You did a great job! I’m 60 and was ADHD before people understood it. Now I’m a nurse and I help people. How I cope with “power surges” is I find the next right thing to do to help the situation, and go do it. You filmed and made good observations- you noted the green sky, etc. who knows, you might go into meteorology and find a way to give people earlier warnings. Awesome job!

Great video! ⛈🙂👍

Brilliant video young man, I have always had a fascination with storms and dramatic weather from when I was young,I'm 63 now and still the same. I loved your video and look forward to seeing more👍👌👏👏👏🇬🇧I have never seen weather as extreme as this in my country

I was born and raised in Texas and i remember being TERRIFIED as a kid. I think i was 11yrs old when i learned a tornado was an act of nature. I seriously thought it was a monster! Imagine having that on video 😂 You did an excellence job. 🤗

Good job making this video. I’ve watched weather videos that are not steady-handed and annoyingly aimed at the ground or car interior rather than the storm. You did a good job with this, kid. Interesting storm, don’t know if it produced a tornado later, but if it was sucking up dust it was just a matter of organizing.

I would’ve hyperventilated just from hearing the siren 😭

I'm 60 years old, NT, and grew up in Florida, so I've lived through decades of hurricanes and tropical storms. And the scariest storm I went through was a hailstorm with winds and torrential rains just a couple of years ago. So frankly, I thought you were pretty darned brave throughout this storm. You handled the filming and commentary very well. Actually, I too kept saying "Oh my God!" so I can relate. Thank you for filming and sharing, and I hope your house didn't sustain any damage.
