This was the 3rd tornado of the night that went through my county, luckily for me, about 6 miles north of where I live in Central/Western KY. I was watching a local weather broadcast and they jumped on this particular cell right before it hit Mayfield and tracked it very thoroughly to almost Louisville. They would show the different radar scans of wind sheer which were the most pronounced I have ever seen on radar. They also had a radar that showed debris "bubble" and this thing held a constant perfect circle on radar for over 2 hours straight. This broadcast was very meticulous in their pathing of the tornado probably saved a lot lives by warning the individual communities next in the path. Meteorologists and storm chasers used to be a meme rivaling that of the boy who cried wolf or the old "sky is falling" saying but man how technology and experience have come to give us absolutely fantastic warnings and lead time, not to mention, historic video footage such as this. Absolutely awesome job documenting this terribly deadly tornado. Stay safe and thank you!

My cousin staying at friends house and works to.

Back in 1980, my husband I had a tornado hit right behind our home. We had just purchased our house, were unpacking our boxes, in the darkness of the night, I heard “that sound”, the freight train headed straight for our home! I knew immediately what it was, being from Iowa, no trains anywhere near our home! All I could think of was our 2 yr old lying in his old playpen, sound asleep, where I THOUGHT he would be safe as we were unpacking, waiting to put his little bed together. Immediately when I heard the “train” sound, I saw my little son being swept away, in that playpen, and being found dead somewhere from a tornado! I ran from the dining room, into his bedroom, and only had time to grab him in my arms, my body wrapped around his little body, prepared to die, while hopefully saving him with my body, holding him as tight as I could. There was no time to even try to run to the bathroom & maybe safety! I then heard a slow “hissing” sound as the tornado passed over, making landfall approx a mile behind our home, in the dense woods, hitting the few homes that had been built there years before. There were no deaths, a lot of downed trees, the few power lines, some damage to those few homes, but fortunately no deaths! After I heard the waning “hissing” noise subside, I ran with my son to the open front door, to see if anyone had fled their homes, were outside, and found my husband staring out into the darkness. No electricity was out, street lights on, and just an complete silence, no sirens blowing, no one outside, no rain, hail, wind, just silence! It was like a dream or something but you are wide awake! My husband, from Texas, was just staring out & seeing us there, just looked at me, because I had tears rolling down my face! I slightly mumbled “my God, that was a tornado!” He said calmly, “no it wasn’t, just a strong wind!” I looked at him and repeated “no, that WAS a tornado!” He looked at me like I was stupid, took our little son back and laid him back in his playpen. I don’t think he even woke up, or if he did, he’d already drifted back to sleep. I was in no mood to argue/fight, so I just went back to unpacking, with silent tears falling down my cheeks! The next morning, the local newspaper reported that a tornado had hit just after flying over our area, hitting in the woods, within a mile of our home! It reported no deaths, only destruction, and had interviewed a couple homeowners who lived within the damaged area. One man said he had just come home, walked in his door, heard that God awful train sound, and screamed at his family to take shelter, then it ripped into his home! He said, he would NEVER forget THAT SOUND, and thanked God no one was dead or injured! I placed the newspaper in front of my husband, at breakfast, and just left the room! We never discussed it again, he never apologized to me, or for calling me STUPID, nor ever asked why I was so emotional that early morning, afterwards! WHY was tears streaming down my face? One reason, was I was so grateful we weren’t ALL killed that morning but mainly because while I ran to our little boy, thinking of nothing but him possibly dying with no protection whatsoever, in that flimsy playpen, but also, knowing my husband thought of neither of us, or our safety, only prepared to run out the door, in hopes of saving HIMSELF! He was unpacking in our bedroom, next to our little son’s bedroom, and a short distance from our dining room where I was, but he CHOSE to run to the front door, open it, preparing to run outside, and into a ditch or somewhere safer, where he wouldn’t have been buried by debris or something! When I saw him at the open front door, he knew exactly what I knew, that his only priority was HIS LIFE, not either of OURS! That’s why he obviously LIED, claimed it was NOT a tornado, and just said d he ran there to look outside!! I KNEW from that morning on, what a selfish man he was, and I nor our son could EVER count on him to even TRY to protect us! From anything! I FINALLY divorced him 7 years, and one more son, after that morning! I’ve only regretted not doing it the day after that tornado, although I’m glad I didn’t because our “now adult” sons at 38 and 45, are my greatest treasures, wonderful, educated, strong men, who make me even more proud, daily! My X husband is now deceased, saw them maybe 2 months a year, BY CHOICE, I remained “friends” with him, as I loved our sons more than my “disgust/dislike” for him, and by being a “perceived enemy”, I would’ve hurt my sons, much more than him! I raised my sons alone, from ages 2/7, except for those 2 mo a year, short interactions with him, and they were with me for every challenge we went through, every struggle to keep rent paid, etc., as I worked hard, commuted 200 miles daily supporting them, not one penny from the gvt., no aid of ANY kind, including college aid, provided healthcare through my job(s), and they know how determined I was to protect them from poverty, gangs, violence of any kind, and they love me, cherish me, respect me, for being their confidant, their mentor, their PROTECTOR, and see me as invincible! 😎 If you’ve never experienced a tornado, thank God! My heart goes out to everyone who has even HEARD that sound, the true sound of death coming! It is truly something unforgettable! May God wrap his arms around everyone who has lost someone in this terrible tragedy, those who are injured, and those survivors! May those who died find peace with God, in paradise. Never ever forget to tell those you love how much they are loved every chance you get! There might never be a second chance!

Also would like to add that you did an incredible job at following this monster in the dark. Stay safe and I’ll be hitting that follow button . 👍🏽

One of the most scariest things on this planet is a tornado at night...it's like death is coming and you can hear it but you can't see it. 🌪

I’m in southeastern Kentucky, born and raised in southern Kentucky. Thankfully, all we got was some winds and rain from this event. I had been looking for some good footage of the tornado that hit Kentucky, among several other states. I happened upon Nick Gorman’s video and was completely awestruck! He recommended I check out this video… and I’m so glad he did!!!!! Please keep up the AMAZING work and stay safe!

I was in a tornado warning for a while last night in the missouri, it missed it missed me by 37.3 miles up in Charles.. love to all who have been affected ❤

Thank you for the work that you and others like you, storm chasers/spotters and meteorologists, do to gather data and document these storms so that we might have better models to predict them in the future and warn those in their paths. Hayti (Hay-tie) is where I grew up and I know people in the community who directly experienced loss and tragedy in their extended family. My prayers go out to them and those in other states who lost their lives and those who are left behind to recover.

Grew up in this area and drove I-55 on almost a daily basis. Fortunately, this monster passed just north of Steele, in southern Pemiscot County, then “split” the eight mile gap between Hayti and Caruthersville as it moved northeast and crossed the Mississippi River into Tennessee. Caruthersville was devastated by a major tornado in 2006-another storm that began in Arkansas, tracked along the ground for over 100 miles. Amazingly, no lives were lost in 2006, but this time a nine-year-old girl was killed when the tornado hit her home west of town. Her mother and younger sister remain in the hospital with serious injuries, while her father and another sister escaped with minor injuries. They had moved into their new home just a few days earlier…remember them, along with all the other victims of the 10 December 2021 tornadoes.

SW-Germany sending prayers and lots of love. Hope you guys are safe there

This is absolutely amazing and heartbreaking footage. I could only imagine what was being experienced on the ground as it tore through. 💔💔💔 This is probably some of the wildest tornado footage I've ever seen, which is ironic considering it was at night. The lightning lit it up so clearly and you could actually make out just how massive the funnel was. Thanking God you are ok after putting yourself at risk for this footage, you did an amazing job!

My heart goes out to everyone caught in the storms.

Intense footage of a Beast! Praying for everyone impacted by these horrific events. I'm also thinking ahead to determine what I'd do if driving through the area. I was shocked to see so many trucks and cars on the road. I would certainly be driving away from it but I am surprised more people didn't have any warning systems that alerted them to avoid the area, stay put. I had a very anxious trip home from Alabama in late October this year because of a sudden cold front that came up. Driving was very challenged by not having a good mapping system that synced with the route guidance. I had to figure out what timing was best to avoid driving in heavy rain and had to adjust our routes multiple times. Was so grateful to finally arrive home!!! God bless everyone and especially the Emergency Services and those left without a home. Praying for resources, shelters in place asap

Our area(the mid-south) is the home of night time tornados, which are usually rain-wrapped. Hayti is about 75 NW of us in Jackson,Tn. We had a VERY severe Thunderstorm come thru about 2 hours after this, with the front that caused all of this, non stop lightning, extremely high straight line winds, and heavy rain. Scary stuff, sirens going, etc. Thanks for the great footage, putting yourself at some risk to produce it.

Thank you for documenting. Stay as safe as you can out there.
