Kevin, how you managed to drive at all during that godawful apocalypse is beyond me!!! When you opened your window at the 4:55 mark, I was flabbergasted by the color of that sky!!! It's odd how some tornadic skies are dark yellow, some are bright teal, some are bottle-green, some are the color of rose milk, and yours was luminescent orange!! Holy Mo!! When you were on 1-64, I was scared - that lightening was enough to blow the socks off, and I could hear hail on your windshield. All in all, this was some truly FASCINATING footage!!! Thanks for sharing it!

I actually landed on this day in St.Louis with my dad. We stayed at the Airport hotel and watched the storm roll through. It was scary!

your... the... bravest.. person.... on... KZread.. 😂👍

Where I was at during the event was between the tornadic cell and the storm south of St. Louis County, so all I saw was lightining, scud, tailclouds, and a very very yellow sky.

Kyle Genthon yea, that sky was really strange looking..almost a brownish yellow...I let the new storm pass south and stayed for the old area of rotation. It still had some weak rotation as it passed near 270 and 70.

I believe I was at the Cardinals/Cubs Sunday night game that evening (not the one against the Reds in 2011 when the bigger one hit, but this one). Everyone left the stands when it was raining, and my dad and I were in the concourses when we got word that a tornado was near St. Charles. My mom was on the phone worried back in the hotel. Luckily the tornado missed us and they resumed the game after about two or three hours.

Yea that night was scary and bad

Man I remember this. I was out visiting my girlfriend in Moro. It was raining to beat the band, like Im from Maine, and I've seen some wicked storms, but this tops everything. In all my life I've never heard a tornado siren so this was quite a thrill for me when the sirens in near by Bethalto started ringing out. Though I have to say I was a little shocked when most of the towns people went outside to see if they could spot the tornado rather seeking shelter in the basement. My girlfriend and her family told me they have been there 19 years (well for as long as my gf has been alive) and she's never seen a tornado in Moro or anywhere else near by. Still though personally I think its better to be safe than sorry.

Here's a suggestion: get your defroster fixed if you're going to shoot video out your windshield. Thing about St. Louis: ever since 1959, tornadoes don't roll through due to the heat island that the city and county have become. You'll get straight line winds, but that's about it. Tornadoes suck back up into the wall cloud and don't drop until they've gone over the Mississippi river where the air cools back down and they drop in Illinois and tear up over there. You'd have been better rewarded had you just stayed in Illinois.

Thanks for the video! I'm curious. At ~4m38s, what weather app were you using?

I remember that.... The summer for 3rd grade... Didn't go so well...

I know this was several years ago, but when you were chasing the tornado, were you visually chasing or were you going by the radar?

Dirty gray skies are not good. Some storms have tornadoes and others do not. A nasty thunderstorm can be just as bad.
