Most chasers- “OH MY GOD! Violent TORNADO 🌪 VIOLENT TORNADO! debris! We have debris! Multiple vortex violent tornado!! Oh my god! Violent! Oh my god! Violent tornado on the ground! Power flash! oh my god another power flash! Violent tornado on the ground! Violent rotation violent violent violent violent violent violent violent violent power flash!”

I remember that day all too well. I lived about 15 minutes South of Canton. Several of my friends lost everything they owned that evening, but by God’s Grace they made it through it alive. Excellent footage, Sir. God bless you and yours.

James- This is some of the most beautiful footage I have ever seen bro! You really have it all. Beginnings before drop down. Multiple vortexes culminating to form what looks to be F3 width. I have always wanted to see a funnel on the ground pass through power lines. Thank you! Kudos to you and your chasing....

Damn, that second tornado is traveling fast!

As a Texan we witness many tornadoes develop and demolish cities in the DFW area usually at a distance. You never really appreciate the sheer strength and destructive power until it hits your neighborhood! This year, 2019, in Abilene Texas my neighborhood took a direct hit from a tornado! It was the most terrifying experience of my life! It hit very early, right before daylight. Once the sun came up and I walked outside it looked like a bomb was dropped. I will never forget that sound..

In another video a trucker was saying "You can't outrun a tornado."

In the beginning, I was wondering what those objects were that the tornado was tossing around. They were so far away, they were unidentifiable. But at the end I could clearly see they were sections of trees - not just branches, but significant pieces of the entire tree.

Did the original tornado and the meso that was tightening up on the right merge at the very end of the video?

Good stuff.

Dude, a couple of suggestions. Great video and thank you! Try not to move the focus in and out so much. Additionally, for future reference, when sitting turn off your wipers if possible. Also, be mindful of tornado position. Sometimes, (quite often), they back build, so it’s important to see the whole structure as opposed to just a specific vortex (although a couple of those were just amazing). Thank you!

Oh yes they most Certainly do. I was a severe storm spotter for the National Weather Service out in the Northwest Texas panhandle from western New Mexico east to Off the caprock In Crosby County and north to Swisher and south to garza County for (7) years while in undergraduate then graduate school at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. I suggest if you haven’t taken a course in severe storm meteorology at your local university it’s probably a good idea. Additionally, you should become ham radio operator certified and join Skywarn so that you can work with a network of experienced storm spotters. JMHO

Thanks for not screaming like a banshee!

At 1:05 begins a sense like pulling back on a Wrist Rocket slingshot or a longbow...... those clouds in the wedge gathering spin energy...... here on Chesapeake Bay we do get some serious squalls, and I've very many times seen that early wedge formation but only one yielded......a spectacularly high-ceiling waterspout on Choptank River in Maryland. At 15:10 it begins to mean business....... there must be 10+ actual tornadoes throughout this video. XLNT footage, James Burch!

Kevin Tucker It’s the upward motion of air in tornadoes that makes them so destructive. Most things in nature and man-made are better at withstanding straight-line winds, not forces that work against gravity.

Very scary looking.

At around 17 minutes the tornado crosses a power line - and it seemed as if the power line survived it! Can that be?
