The BEST Tornado Chase Ever!!
Ғылым және технология
On May 12th, 2023, I chased the craziest tornado I've ever seen near Spalding, NE. This monster, wedge tornado tracked across The Sandhills of Nebraska, providing me with a rare opportunity to get close to this powerful tornado.

at the end when you see the dominator anchoring down to the ground, two cars drive straight into the tornado.. do you think they made it?

Those other cars in the team dominator really played it risky, they drived on the outer edge of the tornado!

I think (if I’m remembering right) they got into the rain wrapped area of the tornado, which was amazing to watch on their channel

Reed has been a severe weather expert for over 15 years.. he knows where to and where not to put his team so they can observe a tornado.. trust me, that’s the last guy that would get you killed or hurt on a storm chase.. that being said there are incidents which are just completely out of your control.. like the El Reno tornado in 2013 which killed the Twistex team.. that’s also the widest tornado in history at 2.7 miles..

The contrast of the blue sky/cumulus clouds/Tornado is really something....
Imagine getting an intercept so good it's the highlight of tons of other people's videos
I heard this moment ( 6:39 ) in a different chaser's video a few days ago & immediately thought, "ooo I can't wait until Freddy uploads!" I'll tell you, it was worth the wait! Thank you for the time & care that you put into your videos to make them educational & such a great experience for us.

I won't be satisfied until I see first-person footage of a storm chaser parachuting into the center of a tornado.
You went through my home town of Spalding. I'm glad you were safe and got to see what you were going after! Great job!

I am convinced that the most dangerous part of storm chasing are the other idiot chasers who can't drive.
I always love seeing when you run into Reed. It's fun to watch chasers converge like that.
Absolutely legendary. Incredible work yet again man! 🐐

Did you see those 2 cars that passed Reed just as the Tornado was passing over them? They JUST squeaked by. Crazy! You got some nice footage too!
Wow, you had an awesome view of the initial tornado from the north! You passed us at 4:33 in the silver Rav 4. We had started down south of Spalding and watched the initial rope thinking that was the main tornado. We then went up the same dirt road into Spaling and cut west of 91. Great Footage! -Andrew SPC
Wow what a beautiful tornado. And the way the sunshine sky opened up behind the dark tornado to reveal sunny skies. So wild.
The tornado chasers take a dangerous job
That drone footage.....is....simply.....mesmerizing!!!
The best part is that it was just ripping through a field
Photogenic and the Dominator sat right in the middle of it. Great job!
Besides the stunning footage on the ground; seeing drone shots become more common is amazing to see! Incredible videos
the size was super massive keep it up!
Cool tornado Tornado big
What an incredibly beautiful photogenic twister! One of the best I’ve seen on here in a while! Congrats on the great footage and keep Chasin’!! 👌🏻🌪️
Can you just take a minute to appreciate this man putting his life to risk for us, in order to get a good shot of a tornado

I’d definitely agree that that was the best tornado footage I’ve ever seen. So clear. No rain wrap. With the sun shining on it and everything. GORGEOUS. Congrats dude!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That day where there were a ton of tornadoes spawning all around me besides the little protective dome I was in was insane lol.
NEXT LEVEL! Absolutely incredible in all facets. what a year!!! 😮
4:54 Looks like the cow from twister lol
just your average slight risk day! what a crazy year, we're lucky a lot of these tornadoes have been so rural! Amazing footage man!!
Good quality, not dramatic. professional
It's amazing that even the scariest things in nature can have beauty if given the right scenery. Excellent footage!
Incredible work @Freddy McKinney! Keep it up!
1:28 Damn, you can actually see the hook in the clouds really clear right here.
It always amazes to see clear blue skies are tornados.
Nah that moment when the dominator shows up 💀
It really doesn’t get much better than that! Wowza
That drone shot was sick! Nobody ever gets to see footage of a tornado like that.
I really enjoyed your videos Freddy, I'm Brazilian and I've never seen a tornado, but I've always been interested in the subject and watching your content gives me a little feel for how this phenomenon is so powerful! Congratulations, I'm still watching your channel.
One of the best storm chasing videos I’ve watched
I Love your videos and you kinda remind me Pecos Hank and his gorgeous video footage and incredible photography. You have obviously learned a lot from the years you've spent storm chasing with your father from an young age. Keep up your amazing work and gorgeous videos while also staying safe. Not everyone can afford to build a dominator style vehicle that can withstand closer contact with a tornado. Even Reed and his team have suffered damage to their vehicles because nothing is completely tornado proof.

Yes, the skills must be patiently learned. Years of trial and error finally begin to pay off. Thanks!
Wish I could ride along with you guys this is amazing
WOW 1 MILLION VIEWERS!
Beautiful and terrifying shots as always! Best storm chasing channel on KZread this year!!
Glad I subscribed, this is great!
That's some of the best footage I've seen of this tornado! I was watching Reed's livestream when they intercepted it. I really want to know if the 2 cars that passed the dominator right before it was swallowed by that thing are chasers. If they are, I really want to see their footage! If they're not chasers then what in the hell were they thinking!

6:58 the cleanest timelapse of a tornado's lifespan I've ever seen!
I love that drone shot
Cool seeing dom three there, but those other two cars are like suicidal, drove straight into the tornado...
This chase is pure insane! Great job!
I can’t believe how sunny it is while you guys are like right next to a tornado (~ 6:54)! I feel like I can easily see the storm vortex & updraft structure and picture the “hook echo” as it would appear on radar. Such a good shot!!!
That was an Awesom intercept!!!
Man, that footage at 4:24 is truly incredible. Can see exactly what’s happening within the clouds, the rotation is amazing. Solid work team.
Love hearing the excitement in chasers voices when they finally catch one on the ground.
Great footage, absolutely beautiful tornado!
I’m a new subscriber recommended by none other than Ryan Hall Y’all this is absolutely amazing footage keep up the great work man and Never Stop Chasing 🌪️🚨🙏🏼❤️!!!!
Subscribed. Great production quality.
The perfect tornado! Big, powerful looking but didn't hurt anyone. Great footage!
Amazing, beutiful wedge
Damn that is a thick tornado I have been in one but never like that
Thats definitely a crazy tornado, and I think it was going fast too.
Awesome footage. Great Video
Nice work, excellent video!
I’ve never actually seen a tornado go back up. Really cool vid.
Absolutely beautiful tornado. So glad it didn't hit anything residential. The video by Dr. Timmer and Team Dominator was an awesome watch, as well.
your videos are fantastic! I follow you from Italy😁
Wow! That was absolutely brilliant! The sun is shining, then a wedge tornado and heavy rain after it dissipates. What an incredible footage!
Holy crap- the number of civilians stuck on the road as it comes barreling across. I was so scared for them
That was a beautiful twister! Awesome camera and editing work!. 10/10
This is excellent.
I have more respect with the fact that you did this "alone" (like no one else in the car with you) i could never do that bro
Nice footage bro💪😀👍🇺🇸
I watched Reed intercept live. Great video
That’s crazy at 4:25, seeing the blue skies above the tornado 🌪️ 😂
Amazing shots! Great job.
That dominator came out of no where
AMAZING!!!
Remember us that subscribed before you got big 🤣🤣🤣
Sure looks to be at least an EF4, wedge tornado!
Awesome video 😊😊
This is some EPIC footage. You stayed on top of it. The final few minutes of footage was beautiful. Great catch
These guys have steel balls
Great video Freddy! ❤❤ You just got my sub. TY for all the awesome chases you go on.
5:32 bonehead move by the grey SUV...hitting the brakes after that merge almost causing accident.
Great video, except at 5:20, thanks for sharing!
Really cool to see that rare westward track
That tornado was absolutely beautiful
Great vid bro!.. Jordan and Reed also!.. epic. congrats 👍
This is so epic! Awesome chase.
Great work!
Like your style man.
This channel is freaking legit. You are accomplishing more than other great chasers this season
Just flat out incredible! Awesome footage man!
When Roblox storm chasers graduate to real life.
That Timelapse was amazing
Probably the most beautiful tornado video I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot
omg man so glad I subbed few months back.. that shot with the clear skies at 2:15 is epic. Had to add another one at 2:57 absolutely eerie shot.
That’s a strong tornado you guys be careful and be safe
Great work, Freddy! I couldn't help but notice those two vehicles that zipped by the Dominator on the final drone shot. Were they chasers?

They were chasers, but they managed to make it out as they were parked next to freddy while freddy was enjoy his moment. They are probably beginners and did the most stupidest thing to do while chasing a tornado but atleast there safe.
