I've heard a few but nothing like this. I graduated from Rochelle Township H.S. and knew some of the victims who survived as the storm barely missed that town to the North. (Fairdale is 19 miles from Rochelle and was along the path it took from the SW to the NE) so this hit home for me. I lived well into the Chicago area by then, but I was frantic to make sure everyone out there I knew was okay. Anyhow, the saddest part of this video, is while the man who filmed this survived despite being on the top level of his home, his wife, who was downstairs, didn't make it and died as a result of the injuries she sustained.

Look into the super outbreak of April 27th 2011. You may already have but if not, it's a fascinating and terrifying outbreak. I'm in North Alabama which was extremely hard hit. The most severe EF5 of the day went just north of me by a few miles and destroyed homes of people that I knew. One of my friends at work helped clean up the town of Phil Campbell which he lived about 2 miles outside of. It was hit devastatingly hard by the EF5 and the town was basically wiped off the map. He told me gruesome stories that I'm not going to mention here publicly. Stuff that I truly didn't know was physically possible. These things are freaking scary y'all. But I kind of have a phobia LOL.

Still the most terrifying tornado footage I've ever seen.

I've seen this video literally 50+ times and it still freaks me out and gives me a very ominous feeling plus anxiety. Hands down the most terrifying video of approaching hell on earth in the history of tornado filming. I can't believe how quiet this man was when Reed Timmer has seen countless tornados from a distance and flips out nearly every time. I honestly still have a hard time watching this but I can't help it, I'm absolutely amazed by these things and fact he lived is beyond comprehension.

Reed Timmer is paid to freak out for dramatic effect.

There will never be another tornado video like this. I truly believe that. The stars had to align for this to be as poignant as it is. The tornado had to be on a direct path for his house. He had to choose to sit there at the window and film it as it crept toward him, without zooming, without moving the focus, without covering the lens. He stood there and held firm as impending death walked straight to him and then he had to survive an unsurvivable event and the phone had to survive it as well. Truly unbelievable.

This will give it an EF4 rating. 1:57 You have not seen the base of the house start flying yet. 1:58 The entire screen fades to pitch black. 2:19 Weird noises, similar to tornado debris noises in the debris field. 2:31 Something hits- well, the "house" after being ravaged by an EF4 tornado. 2:53 wind completely calms down.

@nozzzzy I'm fortunate enough to have never witnessed a tornado first hand despite living in the southern US. I hear they're loud as hell, sound like a freight train, according to others. In most cases, you can survive a tornado if you are prepared or alert. The vast majority of houses in the south don't have basements, so your only chance of survival is in a bathtub or closet...

⁠@@jrountree584​​⁠I live down south but unfortunately I’ve seen a few in my time. The scariest one was back in 2011. Came at 3 am when we were completely asleep. Got woken by the loud clap of thunder that came as the power was knocked out. Was able to make my way down the hallway towards my roommate’s room w my dogs. We just got back to their bedroom when all hell broke loose. And yes, it does sound like a train. It got so deafening that we couldn’t hear each other, even when screaming & sitting right next to each other. It was utterly terrifying. The whole house started shaking. I honestly thought I was going to die. I had serious PTSD anytime a storm came for years afterwards. Thankfully we were lucky, as it was a smaller tornado. I can’t imagine going through something like Joplin or Moore. The small one I went through was bad enough. About 10 mins after it was over, I got a text on my phone letting me know a tornado was in my area 😑🤦🏼‍♀️ I was like GEE thanks for the heads up. It really helped 🤦🏼‍♀️ This footage is the scariest video I’ve ever seen. The Joplin one is scary too inside that gas station. But scary in a diff way since you can’t see the tornado in it. Still terrifying though, esp w headphones on. Ur lucky to have never experienced one firsthand. I’ve been through more than I can count, though luckily they were all fairly small and didn’t do much damage/hit blocks from me. The one in 2011 by far was the scariest, due to proximity and the fact of having ZERO warning since it struck at night.

This storm hit close to home for me. It is sometimes referred to as the Rochelle/Fairdale Torando. I used to live in Rochelle, graduated H.S. there, and knew many people affected by the storm. It took a path that damaged parts of several townships, including parts of Rochelle, along with flattening Fairdale mostly. Anyhow, I get what you're saying, but this couple had one small cellar they didn't have time to get to. You need to understand, these kinds of violent tornadoes are so very rare for that part of Illinois, that most warnings amount to nothing. My guess is these older people didn't realize how dire the situation was until it was too late. By that time he knew he didn't have time to take cover really and he opted to film instead. He is also quite elderly and maybe thought it was his time to go anyhow. And what a way to go, creating some of the best footage most have ever seen. With that said, his wife unfortunately did perish despite her being on the lower level of the home (not the cellar).

THE best tornado footage ever filmed!!

This video fills me with pure dread. Just hopelessly watching the storm slowly moving closer and closer and it getting darker and darker and realizing there’s nothing to do has to be the most frightening thing ever

Still one of the scariest videos of a tornado ever - and I think I've watched everything out there. I swear you can hear his dog yelping at one point during the destruction of his house and that just adds to the horror (they had a beloved white GSD who escaped from the house unharmed after the tornado hit, she was found and returned to him a few days later). For those wondering why they didn't go to their cellar - Clem Schultz stated it was small and shallow and probably wouldn't have provided much protection. Indeed, the photos of his house after seem to back this up - you can see how shallow it is and it's pretty much filled with deadly rubble. Normally being downstairs would have been safer, sadly it didn't help this gentleman's wife. It was a high end EF4 and honestly sometimes in these situations if you aren't in a proper storm shelter you are simply out of luck.

You can easily tell when a tornado is moving. Watch the ground in front of it and pick out objects. Don't look at the entire thing. If you see it eating power poles like a kid eats M&M's, get moving.

This beast tornado that had EF4 windspeed completely leveled the home. The worst part is that we have to actually see what this guy went through. Before the tornado gives a direct hit. The trees are swaying violently until their taken down, the power line is snapped and the garage is swept upwards until the guy realises he has to run. In fact that he survived this is a miracle and I am deeply hurt about his wife's loss.

IT SOUNDS LIKE A CAR HAS A LOUD BUSTED MUSIC FOR ME😳

Apart from everything ppl have already said, this video gives off vibes from a movie classic like "Psycho" or "The Wizard of Oz." The increasingly black and white coloring, the old timey house, the steady shot. The suspense. Then ...go to black. The whole scene seems like a throwback to the 1940s or 50s. The back story.

The ending was very eerie

I've seen some scary things, even stuff people would consider to be scarier than this. But nothing has ever disturbed me more than this.

I've always been intrigued by last photos taken of natural disasters of some kind by a photographer that knew he or she was doomed but was somehow brave enough to keep taking shots or recording a video as whatever the case was, volcano, tsunami, tornado, etc, got closer and closer but I must say this one gives me nightmares. I can tell by his heavy breathing that this man was totally convinced that death was bearing down on him yet he survived. No doubt he was horribly traumatized afterwards not to mention grief stricken over his poor wife God bless her soul. You're a braver man than I am and I'm a storm chaser.

It’s so creepy to experience the calm before the tornado hits. It sounds eerily calm- until it doesn’t.

What a badass old man! Not even a shriek. And his breathing was calm and steady throughout.
