I was eagerly watching periscope one fateful day when a blue shed a lonely but hard blue shed took on a hurricane and won. The tornado videos are amazing
Geez, you got some terrifyingly beautiful footage Jeff. Sure am glad you know what you’re doing. So scary. #blueshed crew forever.

That was such a wild and petrifying night! You must have been holding your breath at times like I was too. It was my first time. I’m so glad you responded to my comment! See you next time, #blueshed crew mate!
You got balls of steel my dude.
The best footage Ever . So proud of you Jeff.👏
It's crazy watching this. Unfortunately me (16)and my brother (12)were home alone in the cellar when the tornado hit. We could hear it go by us. Our parents were on a date.
Great footage Jeff! Keep up the good work 👍 #BlueShedStrong
I'm always amazed how someone can be so close to something so destructive and not get blown away.
Finally, an actual tornado
Way too close for comfort, Jeff! Thank God you and fellow storm chasers are safe. Prayers for those in the path of this beast. #BlueShedCrew
Spectacular video Jeff!!!! I remember when I was a young teenager and saw you on a couple of different tornado documentries and I remember your enthusiasm and gusto explaining about tornadoes back then, and it's very obvious that you have learned so much knowledge and experience and it is wonderful to see your career excel through the years. You have a very recognizable voice, that, as soon as I hear your voice, I instantly know it's Jeff Piotrowski!! I had not seen your videos (or any other storm chasing videos) in a while, but yesterday I clicked on a tornado live stream, and I INSTANTLY knew it was you within a couple of seconds haha. Keep up the wonderful work!! You are my favourite storm chaser/meteorologist by far!
Deposition driven stovepipe tornado to deposition driven tube or sock tornado. Very cool. SW OK seems to get a lot of deposition driven tornados. West South-Central OK, Tornado Basin (area bounded by Lawton to OKC to Sulfur), tends to get a lot of condensation driven wedge tornados-and monster in size. Thanks for the vid.
Simply, awesome. Good work, Jeff. We are all glad this day turned out being better than expected for lives and property.
Incredible intercept !
Great Catch
Jeff what a man! best footage of this tornado by far!
Great footage as always, Jeff.
This whole storm, on May 20, was actually predicted to be like April 27, 2011. Yes, there was deadly amounts of deadly tornadoes that day, but the next couple days completely decimated that record. Just in about an hour late in Missouri, there was 29 CONFIRMED tornadoes. And it just so happened to be that it was on the anniversary of the Joplin tornado. This was a very violent storm system, and it barely skipped us, her in NW Arkansas.

Hey i have a question. Can tornadoes do damage to brick houses and roofes?
Jeff and Kathy, you're the only ones I would go chasing with! Thank you for all the footage! Stay safe!

I barely have words. I can't imagine being so close to that . Just from my view on this side of the screen the emotions that this creates is intense. Feelings of awe, wonder, beauty at the phenomenal power and might while feeling tremendous fear. Stunning, indeed. Thanks Jeff.
I’m binge watching your recent tornado videos (“previewed on PS!). It keeps my fright factor low because I already know you are ok! You and Kat are amazing.

Amazing, frightening footage Jeff! So glad you are safe! #blueshedcrew #blueshedstrong
Wow Wow Wow, great footage. Quality top notch, positioning top notch.
Now that's a lot of damage. Glad you're safe with how close you were.
Fun fact I was there. I live in mangum oklahoma and I saw the tornado with my own eyes. My Nana and papa didn’t want to go when the sirens went off and we look outside the front door and there the tornado was. We rushed to the back and got into the car and drove to a nearby daycare that had a shelter, my nana works there. It was the most traumatizing thing I’ve ever experienced. I was outside with a tornado right there.

lone toad Thank you so much
respect ,jeff , close quater ,spectacular but safe performed chasing, without useless risk taken.
New Zealand gets some tornadoes but the US omg u guys get hundreds
Great footage Jeff 🥳
Had this tornado hit anything well-built at its peak intensity, it definitely would've been rated higher. I live near Nashville, TN and was anxious all day long on May 20th, 2019 anticipating the "big one" in Southwest Oklahoma like the historic El Rino, Moore, Joplin, or Tuscaloosa tornadoes. Glad that there were no casualties from that particular tornado.
Great footage.
The weather man can only tell us when conditions are favorable for tornadic storms.
Great job. I believe you were mostly going down Taft Street in this video of Mangum right before that tornado went across that Main Highway like it did my daughter's house was right there by the golf course she was so close to getting hit. her and her husband and her two children had taken off there's another video somewhere that shows them leaving their tail lights just hauling butt away from there. Great video
That was a real mean one.
Awesome footage.
I heard that radar recorded winds of 212 mph and extensive ground scouring occurred as well as a home getting completely swept away, also this thing could've easily been an EF4 or EF5 from what I've heard.

I love watching this kinda of things but all very terrifying
Good job Jeff and Kat ;) Vincent
#blueshedstrong 😂 yes! Great footage Jeff!
Awesome footage you crazy bastards.
Some of that damage wasn't even in the main vortex. Amazingly powerful tornado and associated circulation.

Thankful that this setup was a bust for the most part.
