The D team leader is probably prone to screaming and manic excitement because sometimes I noticed his eyes are unusually red. No big deal in this day and age. Ya gotta have balls to smoke a blunt while chasing monsters.

Beautiful and terrifying all at once. I really appreciate that you don't distract from the video with needless commentary, let alone any yelling or dramatic exclamations. Very well done sir.

Agreed. Some of the people who post tornadoes are stupid as fuck too. Someone posted a video of an EF4 and the video was the poster and his stupid family frantically screaming and running around inside the fucking house until the last minute when all the lights went out and the windows blew. Sometimes they deserve to get what they get just for being that stupid and posting a video of being in harms way just for clicks and views. There's no excuse as to why they shouldn't have gone into a shelter when they knew the tornado was that close. And they knew cuz people were frantically screaming all over the place and the wind was already strong and beating on their house all video til that point.

One of the most impressive tornado when it comes to structure you can even see the wall cloud is rotating which shows the raw power this tornado had glad no one was hurt in this particular tornado.

It sure is nice to watch a tornado video without someone yelling "TORNADO" all through the video. Thanks for the cool chill vid.

Positively terrifying! I do appreciate the quiet, the lack of chatter during this entire video as it allows the novice viewer to avoid being distracted and to discern the full impact of what they are viewing.

Great footage. Dark tornados always look more ominous. This footage reminds me of some of the footage from Alabama during the 2011 super outbreak. The person filming it was pretty far away yet the tornado was huge, dark and looming over the entire area. Still gives me chills.

You should have seen the one that hit Cordova Alabama during the 2011 outbreak in Bama. One guy filmed the tornado from Dora Alabama approximately 6 miles from Cordova. It looked absolutely terrifying. A monster tornado. It was classified as an EF4, but the shear size of it, it liked like an EF11. And yes, I’m aware the rating only goes up to EF5 and the rating goes by wind speed not by size. One guy filmed it from Jasper Alabama a little further away, about 9 miles. It still looked monstrous. Sadly, that tornado killed several people as it was a long track tornado staying on the ground for several miles. 4 fatalities in the small town of Cordova alone. And to make the story more horrifying for our community, it was the second time Cordova was hit by a tornado that day. A small one in the early morning. Then the killer in the afternoon!

Magnificent!! Great presentation with no redundant hollering, talking or foul language. Thank you for being professional!

You know it’s going to be bad when you see inky-black clouds - especially in conjunction with the other colors from the disaster palette. You caught some amazing footage - thanks for doing such a nice job and sharing it with us.

This is a great video capture of some beautiful structure. The racing clouds against the bleak early spring fields are amazing.

Absolutely some of the best wall cloud footage I've seen! The contrast in color, and the incredible motion and shape of the wall clouds was more impressive than the tornados! Great job!

No music, shouting or unnecessary commentary. Just spectacular footage, allowed to breathe and speak for itself. Awe inspiring storm.

Very well done! Simple, straight forward message, no frills, but explained answers to questions the audience would have, and demonstrated as it came together. Loved the footage showing the train.

That’s probably the scariest looking tornado I’ve seen. The speed of the mesocyclone was insane, it’s almost like El Reno 2013’s more photogenic twin.

That's what I'm saying, this is an absolute monster of a storm, and this video is the first I'm hearing of it. I feel like maybe it's not drawing as much interest as, say, El Reno, Moore, Etc, because it didn't cause any destruction or deaths? To me, this storm is up there with the other big dirty evil monsters of storms that should be studied, remembered and revered in the books of history, and the footage is phenomenal

Greetings from Australia, I have to say that is one of the most menacing weather events I’ve ever seen, also I commend you in putting your safety first. Well done Mate ⛈️🇦🇺

5:08 - You’re not kidding!!!! That storm motion looks more intense than anything I’ve seen as well!!! Holy moly! Extremely photogenic Storm as well… not sure if it’s just the way the storm contrasts with the Iowa landscape or what it is exactly… but it makes for incredible images / video for sure!

Glad nobody got hurt. I've lived in central Oklahoma all my life and the worst tornado I've seen was the EF5 that came through in 2013. I was out at my parents and they live in between Stroud and Cushing, one of the many known tornado towns. The tunnel went right over us but didn't touch ground until it got closer to 33 by Drumright. Growin up around 'em, I like to watch. Thanks for sharin this.

Wowza! This reminded me of 4/21/1967, when the South and East sides of Chicago and suburbs were hit with 7 F-5's, known as the Oak Lawn Tornado. My best friend was killed in the Oak Lawn roller rink with his skating partner. Too many other deaths and injuries as well. Turning 71 this April and still am freaked out with Illinois storms. Bless you and stay safe.

We lived just north of Keota in my wife's family farm home. Grateful that no one was hurt and for everyone's help after the tornado. Her family lost part of there farm and the family house but everyone's ok. God bless for everyone and everything.

I had to check with several chasers that we were indeed looking from the West at this exact view from the East. It was the dustiest thing I've ever seen, and I have little doubt this would have been an EF-5 had it hit a city straight-on. We missed the photogenic side, but either side was awe-inspiring that day.

I have never seen a tornado, but I'm fascinated with weather. I love the contrasting colors in storms. That thing looks amazing in a beautiful and terrifying way.

Wow! You took amazing footage! I’ve never seen such a massive storm.

This just popped up on my home page and yours is the first video I can stand to watch. That area is my home. I’ve been a spotter for years and was out of town then. To know literally every home, farm and town in the path of that puts a completely different view on spotting. And then to hear other chasers were saying things like “At least a lot of people don’t live here” changed my mindset on even spotting. Somehow it missed all of our little towns.. Hedrick, Farson, Ollie, Martinsburg, Keota and Wellman were all spared a direct hit somehow and most importantly, no lives were lost. Thank you for a respectful video!

Just subscribed. I like how you don’t become adrenaline raged and overly emotional. Video mainly quiet. I also like how you stay a safe distance away, thereby allowing so much more in your camera view. That may depend on your camera, but it is very alarming when so many raging chasers get way too close. Thank you for posting.

Great video! I live in northern Illinois and I remember watching all the radar of not only this storm, but others that day.

Spencer, I just ran across your channel, and I immediately subbed! You have some of the most amazing footage I have seen, and it’s right up there with Pecos Hank! I like your low key style, and the fact that you’re not one of those screaming banshees! That’s the one thing that irritates me, and most weather freaks in the Boomer generation! Yes I’m getting up in yrs, but the majority of the largest generation really have been awakened since Tornado Videography began! Some of the reckless chasers are actually working on or have a degree in Meteorology, others who actually have an understanding of Tornadoes prove to be much more thorough and have a great communication with both humans and nature! Keep it up‼️🎯😎

Great footage Spencer! The colors and shading were simply amazing!

I can't believe you sat on this footage for four months! This is incredible!

One a wedge EF4, the other an EF3, I'd say. Amazing footage . Raw, silent observation. Well done.

And, I have dug up a boatload of footage in the past few years. Just subscribed. 👍

We received this storm front in Brodhead Wi around 7 cst. I've seen a few storms around here in my last 70 years - this one beat the front from August 1965. 100 mph then, 100 mph March 31. Scared the hell out of both of us.

I live in central Oklahoma and we are up to our ears in storm chasers but I gotta say- this is some of the most majestic, beautiful footage I have ever seen.

Now this is how you storm chase from a safe distance! Job well done 👍

This system was absolutely destructive from North to South. We lost our house that day in a EF-3 that measured 1.5 miles across. The carnage was indescribable. We were under 6 different tornado warnings that afternoon as the system trained through. Thankfully the others were either minimal in scale or non-confirmed, but it was a crazy day to say the least.

Beautiful catch brother. Love seeing them away from structures.

Having lived through the July 19, 2018 F-3 tornado in Marshalltown, Iowa (and the 8-10-20 derecho), I find your footage with the train beginning at 6:45 (ish) particularly impactful. The contrast of controlled, measured movement against the backdrop of the storm is, well, moving. ;)

Amazing footage, Thank you for not screaming as other chasers do. 😗

Good work on this one, Spencer!

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Sure enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and bravery.

You put together a well made and not overly dramatic tornado chase video. I hate when chasers just scream and freak out over every tornado when theyve seen about a million (Reed.) Well done man

Surreal. With the excellent lighting, I am assuming you were on the west side of these two tornados. Great camera work. Thank you.

Fascinating and eerie. I don't know if anyone has commented on this yet but the various pitches and volume levels of machine whirs and deep drones coming from the interior of your vehicle, interjected at times with pure peace and quiet, is just beautiful with these images.

You my friend just earned a sub, I Love this video keep up the good work :)

AWESOME!!! Thanks for the video!!! Be safe out there!! I subbed!!!!!

What makes this video so good is the fact you allow the tornadoes to do all the talking for you, excellent footage.

I have lived in SE Iowa all my life and I occasionally go storm chasing. I was just south on another storm and headed north after I noticed intense rotation near Hendrick, so I drove north. Unfortunately I was a mere 15 minutes late to the tornado but the damage path I won't forget. Just 25 miles from home and this monster strikes.

You know it's strong when the wall cloud is spinning fast enough to be mistaken for the actual tornado.

1:58 and onward, this clip is some of the most striking footage I’ve seen. Excellent work!

Thanks for providing the footage. Scary indeed ...

Thanks for sharing, remember seeing warnings about it on KWWL. I am in Waterloo Iowa.

good work Spencer. incredible mean looking clouds. fun to watch when it misses everything and no one killed.

MAN that's a big tornado. Great footage!

The one word I'd choose to describe the entirety of this would be "stark". Even "starkest" would work :) Around 5-6 minutes it's amazing, the falloff of wind energy at such a small distance from the mass....... those power lines are barely moving, and the treeline appears pretty still. Really appreciate the quality/resolution.

The most beautiful AND frightening video I’ve ever watched, full-stop. Amazing clarity. Thank you for doing what you do to bring the breathtaking awesomeness of Ma Nature into our homes as if we were right there 🙏🙏🙏

Some very impressive sequences! Glad you kept your distance!

Super footage. That was a churning monster. Great formation 👏

That tornado looks very similar in my opinion to the F-5 in Twister! The color, the shape, the texture of the clouds, everything.

Great footage! A near perfect Mesocyclone, amazing quality thanks for this!
