This is the long video of what happen on 4/27/11. The tornado doesn't hit until around 19:00. I left the first part in to show how the light, wind changes and also some of the damage before and after. Max is fine. We did not know he was there at the time of the storm which is why he accidentally got left upstairs.
Note to people facing the approach of severe weather. PUT SHOES ON! in case you have to walk out of a disaster area.
+Luke Nash Better yet, put on sturdy boots. There will be glass, nails sticking up, torn metal, splinters, downed power lines, ect. when you come out of the shelter.
Yep, much better.
Not socks and sandles.
Stan Beasley I agree
Absolutely! Otherwise your feet could be cut by glass that's lying on the ground. 😳
"Might wanna go down to the basement, you think?" "Nah, we're good." - Bros that are not good
This is if you've got a basement.
Whoever filmed this , sucks
akio2589 U SOUND LIKE A BITCH!!
**tornado practically on top of them** "think we should go downstairs?" "nah, we're good"
Particularly the "no, it's coming this way. .... we'd better get downstairs" Pretty much at the too late point.
I've never heard such morons in my life,what idiots, puleeeeeezzzzzzz!!!!!!🙄🙄
@@anneperry9014 rude
Jenna Simpson If you have to ask then you probably should be downstairs. Right?
@Charlie Ennis I’d like to call them… Dumb & Dumber 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like I just watched Bill & Ted's Most Windy Adventure.

I think he said "dune where's my car"...
Guy 1: “Duuuudeeee” Guy 2: “Broooo”
I was gonna make that comment but I thought I better check the comments first to see if these guys reminded anyone else of that movie with the way they were talking. TFF!
That slowly growing sound of thunder is in of itself terrifying.
This is a great teaching tool when it comes to tornadoes. Went from a calming storm to a heavy, calm, creepy sky. Then the incredible sound as it was approaching. Want to know what to look for when a tornado is approaching? Watch this video. Glad everyone was ok. Hope you're back on your feet with a place to live.
Thanks man. We rebuilt and nobody got badly hurt. Thanks for the support again.
Thank God, glad to hear that..
I don't think they were in the direct path.
@@nerdieone1 I was trying to see if they were too. Still a lot of damage but I think it they were hit directly, the whole house would have blown away.
You can hear it in real life. The video doesnt capture the sound 1 mile away ya know sounds like low thunder just grumbling
The shot of that monster coming from between the other houses with that sound really drives it home for me. Glad they were ok. Unreal
It’s like they taught us in Elementary School growing up in Florida. If you don’t see the twister heading in the direction of left or right it’s heading for you.
That's an incredibly cinematic sequence of dialogue. Amazing buildup of tension. Dude 1 (with camera): (Opens the door and exits onto the porch) "Holy shit! I see the fucking clouds moving like mad over there but I don't see the--" Dude 2: "You hear it?" Dude 1: "I hear it. That sounds reallly loud now...what is that flying in the air?? Dude, there's--yeah..." Dude 2: "There's debris..." Dude 1: "There's debris flying in the fucking air, dude!" Dude 2: (casually) "Tornado right over there." Dude 1: "Dude, that's getting LOUD. That's....oh, shit...." Dude 2: "Dude..." Dude 1 (slightly scared): "Might want to go down in the basement, you think?" Dude 2: (shuts door) (casually) "Nah, we're good." (pause) Dude 1: "Dude...that thing sounds fuckin' crazy. Oh dude, you--see all the debris up there flying?" Dude 2: "Yeah...." Dude 1: "Oh, I think I can get a good zoom..." Dude 2 (suddenly alarmed): "Oh my God, here, gimme that!" Dude 1: "It's zoomed out...oh, dude, that looks wild!" Dude 2: "Oh, it's right there! That's the tornado right there!" Dude 1: "Holy shit...which way is it moving--that way?..." Dude 2: "nah, I think it's moving THIS way..." Dude 1: "Shit...dude..." Dude 2 (slightly less casually) "Yeah, let's get downstairs." (sound of the wind rises) Dude 1: "I can feel the pressure drop..." Dude 2: "Yeah..." (crashing sounds all around) TORNADO: "HELLO THERE, MY DUDES"
"we're good" 1 minute later house is getting torn apart
Sh*t happens man. In retrospect don't think i could have made any better decisions and still let you see what i saw.
thats fair, very good video captures what few see
@@daysaved Was your home totally destroyed or were you able to repair? From the video it looks like the tornado was coming right at you, but so many other homes and buildings were completely leveled. It is hard to tell if you got a direct hit or more from the edge of it with lesser winds.
@@petdogdfw if they were in the Center he wouldnt be able to upload im sure.
@@Markus-xm4zv Yeah, if it was an EF4, they had to have either been on the outer rim, or near the beginning or end of it.
From the director of (Dude where's my car) brings you a suspenseful new drama, (Dude where's my porch).
I could see them making a movie about that....dude what's mine say!
He did say, "My car is probably fucked dude!"

Literally the calm before the storm.

Thats exactly how it looked when the ef4 came through in cookeville tn lol flash flash flash like a strobe light
Idiot
Try 13:00 to 18:43
@@daphnietudor2953that’s what I noticed here in Ocean Isle Beach, NC when an unexpected high-end EF3 roared through in February, 2021 at midnight. The power went out and the only warning we had was a severe thunderstorm warning on our phones. The floor began shaking, and the lightning was continuous. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since then. It was terrifying, but the tornado only came within a mile of us. It traveled 30 miles, killed 3 people in extremely expensive, well-built houses by lifting one off its foundation and smashing it down on a neighboring house. Most of the time after that, it traveled through swampland.
The moments when Max was missing made my heart drop. If it were me in that moment I could care less about my house or belongings until I knew my pup was okay. Very cool video.
yeah, poor dog ...it's not like they didn't have plenty of time to take the dog with them to the basement.....after spending 20 minutes trying to catch the best video footage, and running around the house sayin' "dude" to each other a hundred times.
I wasn’t absolutely sure whether or not he found the dog, but I thought I heard him calling him or her right at the very end.(??) I’m with you 110 percent! Losing my dog would be like losing one of my kids! My family has an agreement that if we head for the basement , the dog goes with us; no matter what! If there are people who don’t understand that, they’ve never had a dog!!👍
@@venusnightshade gay couples are very materialists and shallow judging for this video. They could care less for their dog or nieghbours. They just care about the house and material damage.
They are Stoners they forgot they even had a dog
@@venusnightshadelol go suck a lemon, he explains in the description that the dog was fine and they didn’t know he was in the house at the time. Maybe read a thing or two before hurling insults at guys who almost lost their entire house to a tornado.

The sound !!! - yours is the first ever clip I have watched (and there's been thousands) to capture the sound so accurately ! Wow! Safe weather savy guys!
You are so right. I've watched thousands of T-vids, and have never heard what a tornado 🌪 sounds like. They def caught it here.
@@billpiechocki kzhead.info/sun/nLKInLBtq4muh58/bejne.html
There is a videom something title like: an old lady recording tornado. Check it and you hear the train sound
The way the suspense in this video builds is WAY intense - far more than even a Hitchcock movie, culminating when the tornado actually appears. I'm really sorry you had to go through that, but I'm very glad both of you and your dog made it through OK!
Yeah it was a crazy weird day. Not to be too dramatic but the air felt still outside. Kinda like every atom of everything was in line and standing still. Then all hell broke lose. Thanks for the thoughts!
Hitchcock movie?? GMAB! 🙄🙄
I was worried for the green dot in the center of the screen, but I'm glad it survived til the end :) also, awesome footage!
Haha.
I know, I was like "that better be the video and not my damn phone!"
Thought it was my phone too.
Thought it was my tablet messing up, too.🤣🤣🤣
Lesson learned: Put on shoes if tornado is approaching.
My dad's house was destroyed in this tornado outbreak. He and my stepmom survived but, it took every pair of shoes that he had (including the ones that he was wearing.) He was out searching for survivors/neighbors while barefoot after it passed, it leveled half of his subdivision. My stepmother broke her leg while evacuating the remains of their home, she thought she was stepping onto the garage steps but, she stepped through collapsed sheetrock and fell.
I think this is the first time I have ever heard a tornado without somebody screaming "Its a tornado!" Great video!
Or “omg it sounds like a train”
What do you expect the people just calm and dies
I absolutely commend these guys on how calm they remained through this tornado. One of the best teaching videos ever,....showing how everything went "from sugar to shit" in a matter of seconds. AWESOME,........just AWESOME!!!! Hope everyone is okay and you have bounced back.
tarence319 Thanks a lot! Insurance was both awesome and a massive pain on the ass; but we got things back together.
Horrible. Idiots playing games and with children. Horrible.
Isiah Cline wtf are you on about??? Are you fvcked in the head or something?
Dude, I’m looking for a dispensary. After watching your response to a near death situation, I think I found a good source. lol Oh, and by the way, that was frightening!
I don't. They were absolutely stupid thinking that it was gonna be nothing!!!!!
Those guys totally smoked up before the tornado started lol

One of the best tornado videos I have ever seen. It really captures how quickly things can happen. Thanks for uploading. Hello from Toronto.
Yah were so blessed to survive that experience. So sorry you had to endure that. Glad you are ok
Wow, it really sounds like a freight train. Excellent footage, glad you made it out alive !
19:28 I can't believe that guy was outside just moments before it hit
That was one of them at his car doing something.
@@BreakerOneNine07 someone was throwing trash in the dumpster. What happened to him?
Dude! You got sideswiped or your whole house would be flattened. Glad you made it out without any injury.
21:36 that iconic train sound everyone talks about when a tornado is coming
I worked for the railroad you can't hear trains coming at all
wardeezi62 do you know where you are right now? What year is it?
What are the odds of two guys named Dude and a dog named Max living thru a tornado ??? Must be in the billions .
Duuuude
You hear so many people who had close similar close encounters and the hearing the "jet engine" roar of the tornado. 20:00-20:30 captured that sound perfectly. The entire video showed how quickly a thunderstorm turns the sky dark. Great video guys! Glad you and Max made it through alright.
Great video. Sorry about your house, I hope Max is alright. Thanks for sharing.
These guys have the most low drama reaction than any other videos I’ve watched.
Watch the tornado about Clem Schultz. There’s a guy with balls of steel
So crazy, thats the first video i can recall where it sounded like the train i’ve always heard talk about.. Several storm chasers seem to say that “ppl say that because as the nader approaches you hear the “click-clack” of debris hitting the house”” but no.. No! Its because as a nader hits, it pushes air so forcefully through any gap it can find, that it actually creates a melodic, freight train whistle sound! That along with the general roar of the thing, and you got yourself a freight train practically hitting your house.. Unreal. And terrifying!
I don't get the train sound I think it's more like a jet engine or loud waterfall
@@patricklaurojr7427He doesn't mean the sound of the winds, he's referring to the sound at 21:38 that sounds like a train whistle.
@pdgoblue2518 oh ok gotcha maybe was house moving on its foundation or something else making noise
Kind of late coming across this video, but thank you so much for posting it. In November 2011, there was a tornado less than 3 miles from my house. I stepped outside and could hear it in the distance. Your video is the first time I've accurately heard the same roaring, rumbling sound I heard that evening, plus that severe, seemingly nonstop thunder. I've watched hundreds of videos and none came close till yours. When the power flickered off, back on, then off and on again I ordered everyone to shelter. Fortunately, it missed us...unfortunately there were numerous homes destroyed and two fatalities. It was one of the last times my dad, who had dementia, said anything coherent. He sat bolt upright on the couch, looked me right in the eye and said, "That storm there means business, girl." Then lapsed back into his illness-induced state of being, well, lost. This was in North Carolina, if anyone wants to look it up. I don't remember the precise date. I just remember my dad speaking to me; he passed away two months later. I was 36 at the time.
My condolences
That’s freaky. Your dad got dementia and still knew that storm was a mean one crazy. I’ve had a narrow 3 mile miss by a tornado too. Earlier this year. But my phone didn’t go off and I had no warning. So I slept through it. Nobody died but there was a little bit of damage and a handful of hospitalizations. And they still call it a tragedy. That storm wasn’t serious. If it was it would’ve been way worse. We just gotta wait until a monster comes along.
@@13_cmi Hopefully you won't experience one. And it's really strange what you see after the storm passes that'll boggle your mind. A lady who was my kindergarten teacher went into her closet & when she opened her door again NOTHING WAS LEFT AROUND HER FOR 2 TENTHS OF A MILE IN EVERY DIRECTION. She told me I guess the good Lord still had work for me to do. Indeed...she went 7 more years & got a church facility named after her to boot.
18:26 power goes out. It goes out again at 18:57, and again at 19:01 and this is when things go from worrisome so incredible at around 19:47 . I encourage all of you to watch the entire thing. It's amazing how things can go from calm to chaos in a matter of seconds. An amazing video from a perspective like that of my own. Had I been in this situation - I would have filmed the same thing. So glad y'all are okay and I give prayers to the family that lost their child near you. Thank you for sharing this video.
Every word you said is right on target.
Bruce Lee It could have been weak by the time it hit them. Tornadoes don’t stay at the same strength the whole time. For example, the 2013 Moore EF5 was only an EF5 for a couple minutes, if that
They clearly only got the edge of the tornado.
@@dccaleb5529 It still sounded pretty intense. This tornado, I believe started in Mississippi and continued into the Birmingham area and way beyond. It held much of its strength for quite some miles. Incredible.
Was this on The Highlands road? My cousin was the girl that was killed in that neighborhood.
I loved how they were not just worried about getting out and to a safer place, but kept saying they had to check on the neighbors. More people like this in this world please!
This is a great video. I really appreciate the "long shot" leading up to, during, and after the tornado. There aren't many videos like this out there, showing how strangely calm everything is leading up to the actual tornado. I've heard people talk about the calm before the storm, but I didn't realize _how_ still it was until seeing this video. Crazy how there is virtually no wind and only a couple patters of rain for the majority of the video--if I saw a day like that, my thought would be that it would be a lazy, hazy, quiet day (if it weren't for the brilliant reporting of James Spann as depicted in Kim Cross's book). Glad everyone is okay, and thanks for sharing your experience of this historic day.
Make-Make Couldn't have said it better
Did you notice how the thunder sounded like distant cannon shots? That was the thing I noticed back in 1974 when I awoke at 5:35 A.M. when the F5 was coming toward our house. That was one of the most unusual sounds, and it's one thing I tell people. If you don't hear the roar, but you hear short, cannon-like booms of thunder in the distance, that most likely means that the tornado is coming your way, and you've got 5 minutes maybe to get downstairs into the basement. They were very fortunate that they got out of the way when that roar was right on top of them. It sounds like a jet airplane. Oh, by the way, just in case you wonder what date my tornado experience happened, it was April 4th in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
That is scary
Make-Make This Tornado Was Terrible
omg
Dude I watched this from start to finish... This was insanity man. This looks like my dream home. I'm sorry this happen but I'm glad you are both okay. One of the best storm videos I've ever seen. Lucky you left the porch when you did.
That was the greatest amateur tornado footage ever. Your video is better than professional grade storm chasers. You got great shots, great sounds and didn't scream "Tornado on the ground" a thousand times. Hats off to you, for the best home footage of a tornado in decades.
Did we watch the same video??
@@mootpoint7053 right like whatever video he saw I wish I could..
@@JefferyDollars well the guy is a little nuts
Here's another: kzhead.info/sun/ht6wlJFoq5Oql6c/bejne.html
This provides such good insight as to what it's really like experiencing a tornado as a resident, not as a chaser. Not to mention what the aftermath is like. And the camaraderie that people display during these disasters always amazes me (you all calling out to each other at the end of the video.)
They only caught the edge of that tornado . Houses that took a direct hit were completely erased ! They would never have survived a direct hit from that monster . I mean whole neighborhoods were totally wiped out . These were some lucky dudes . More than they realized at the time . Bet they know it now . Crazy stuff. Glad you guys were spared. So many people were not . Peace.
You are so right.
True, it did just sideways hit a direct hit would have been a diffrent story and poor dog wouldn't have survied a direct hit.😮
Wonderful attitude to have "We re-built, nobody got badly hurt." That really the way to land on both feet after such an experience. I also love how thinking about the dog and the neighbours were the first thing on your minds. We don't have tornados here on the Svalbards. We have ice storms but they're like an everyday thing and then we have avalanches and ice breaking off glaciers and icebergs creating rogue waves. But we never have our homes or the surrounding settlement endangered in any way. Ive always wondered how people coped with living such places as central USA and I guess I always assumed that it would be scary to live with the risk of tornados. But it seems that you simply accept whats coming at you, brace yourselves, make sure you're okay and then rebuilt.
And the reality is that many folks like myself who live within - and in my case, close to a 'beating heart' of the tornado alleys (there are at least two large-scale tornado zones, and frankly several with even more probable alleys-within-alleys, one might say).. that despite living in north-central Texas for the first 33 years of my life, I have never seen an actual tornado. I've seen plenty of rotating supercells, tornado-warned storms and one lowering/funnel - but no confirmed tornadoes. Violent, significant tornadoes have destroyed portions of my city on two separate occasions, but both occurred before I was born. Many people here at the time never saw one or both, let alone have to survive them (the physical impact, that is) and deal with the recovery aspect. That is merely to say that the geographic area is so vast, and tornadoes present such a concentrated & rare danger, overall. Thought you might be curious as to a resident's perspective.. .. btw, I had no idea that the Svalbards had much - or any - permanent settlements and communities! I suppose its just b/c the archipelago is only ever discussed in the United States as a place for Arctic research. I mean, you may not have tornadoes but you guys are infested with polar bears right? (I kid, of course)
The excellent adventures of dude and Josh. Glad you two dudes are alright
Duuuuude
Holy moly, this was like a movie. Thanks for the up load, the suspense was killing me, to see what would happen next.
Hey, congrats on getting featured in the Weather Channel's documentary on the storm! Hope you, Max and your pal have since enjoyed happy lives.
Hands down, one of THE best tornado videos I've ever seen; watching the storm approaching on the news, watching the sky turn dark...... WOW!!!! Thank you for posting!
It sounds so eerily like a waterfall to me. Scary video, glad you're okay!
Thanks for posting Max was fine. Glad y'all made it through that. Wish the video had been longer wondering about the aftermath. thanks again for the post. Great video.
I'm currently reading "What Stands in a Storm" by Kim Cross, which depicts this tornado. Your video is an excellent look at what it's like before, during and immediately after the tornado. I'm glad you guys and the dog were OK. I hope your home was fixable. Thanks for this great video.
***** Things went pretty well considering what all happened. Thanks again.
This is one of the few videos that captured the train sound. Been in a few tornadoes. It's super nerve wrecking.
you hear it at 21:38
21:00 is one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen. I’m glad you guys were okay.
lol shut up. There are countless videos of tornadoes on KZhead yet the out of focus, barely in frame one is the most terrifying? You fuckin’ drama queen.
Glad you guys are OK. Thanks for sharing this great video!
I'm so glad you're ok. This is an amazing video!
Why the hell didn't they take Max in the basement, but glad everyone is okay.
27:41 "I see Max. He's ok." And I agree, take the dog with you for God's sake and don't stare at tornado debris coming your way until the dang thing is on top of you.
“The pistol’s under the mattress” 😂 I love it
these poor guys... :( they acted so strong and calm. I would be a mess...not DURING the tornado but AFTER, seeing my home that i worked so hard to have...gone...in pieces. they kept it together.
That's what home insurance is for.... nothing to flip out about
Could have been worse.
I have been watching this every spring for years. About mid summer I start watching hurricane videos.
"Dude-nado"
Amazing how life can change in an instant. Sorry you had to go through this. Hope things are back together.
F4-F5 tornado coming directly at your house & is only 200 yards away. "Do you think we should go down to the basement?" 20:35
Duh
One of if not the best video of what it is like to live through a tornado. Thanks for posting!
The sounds a house make before getting ripped up is wild
Guy 1: is it moving that way? Guy 2: Nah, I think it's moving this way. let's just mosey on down stairs.
this is why it is important to have emergency supplies on hand ready to go----3 days of food/water medicine cash etc......these guys were practically trapped and it mite take some time for help to reach u....and make sure u have good home/auto insurance
The supplies wouldn't matter, it took a whole month for power and supplies to get reached
See, this is as real as it gets. I feel like I’m chillin having a beer.
I ended up volunteering in Fultondale right after the storms. It was a horrible couple of days. This is my first time watching this video so many years after the events. I'm glad you guys came through it okay.
The way your video builds up is almost insane! The stillness--literal clam before it hits and then to hear that sound and see it dang near hiding behind the trees!?!? OMG!!!! .... Hate that you guys had mad damage, but overall great to know you're BOTH alive!
Great video. Glad you guys (and Max) are ok!
stumbled upon this and what a moving video. I know it was a while ago but I remember this very clearly from UK coverage. Your video shows just how quickly everything can be taken away. So pleased that Max was OK and hope things have been good for you since.
Thank you much. It was a pretty crazy experience. Max is fine just a bit more traumatized than before. That dog has had a crazy life. We didn't know he was there or we would have got him downstairs. Thank you again.
that was a crazy video. that moment when you're like "i think its moving this way" and right at that moment the air between you and that other house starts turning white. that must have been some scary shit
I see a chainsaw in their future.
I heard a saw of some sort there for a few seconds, courtesy of the tornado.
Amazing.You guys were so calm
I have never been in a tornado and despite the dude and the long video and other remarks I myself commend them both for sharing this. I cant even fathom how I would react in this situation. Its like having your life and home put in a blender. Hope in the 9 years since this video you have manage to put your lives back together. Thanks for sharing.
What I find quite awesome is how the sky is getting darker and darker until the tornado strikes...it's like a huge hammer is about to strike (and it does). Glad to see you are all ok.
I hope that guy that was standing outside by his car is OK.
I actually Survived Through This Tornado But I had many injuries but I'm Okay Everyone Prayed for me and I was back to normal in no time
🙏🏻👍🏼
Same. I was in the house ignoring the sirens.
Nothing to do with the drs then???
Oh everyone prayed for you, so you didn't need any professional medical attention then? You were just miraculously healed by the god who let the damn tornado hit you in the first place? Yeah thought not.

I just watched this and I thought it was something on my phone 🤣
I was in Birmingham watching it happen.. I feel for everyone in Tuscaloosa
wow,, i cant imagine going through what you guys just went through in your video, you are very lucky to be alive,,, thanks for sharing your experience with us here on youtube, it was interesting,
Sometimes I lay in bed at night and I wonder... where the hell is Max? Max the world’s quietest dog.
WHERE IS MAX THE DOG?!
It would be nice if we could get a update on Max????...after all it’s only been years lol.. hopefully he is ok.
@@krazykatlady4500 If you listen closely, toward the end he says Max was ok and hiding in his little carrier.
Mizzery Chick I missed it, thank you! Glad to know he made it ok.
@@krazykatlady4500 I probably would have, too. I had my headphones on full blast, though, and all I could think was, "Oh no! Where's Max???"
despite the situation, and I am glad you guys are ok...you have a wonderful backyard.
sorry if that sounded ignorant..I have been in a tornado as well..I had to hide in the basement against the cellar door and I remember that roar..damn that roar. and it was only a F2. I know this was awhile ago, but I am glad you guys and your dog were okay and my heart went out to everyone who was hit that year. x
"Dude, man."
Geez! I feel like I went through that with you! That was an intense video. And I can’t believe the size of those trees that came down. Good think they didn’t hit the house. I’m glad you all are ok and that you found Max safe and sound.
That same storm hit my community & we were without power for 4 days & the smell of pine trees lasted nearly a month.
Unfortunately, pine trees have a root system the size of a paper plate. We have dryland pines, mostly Ponderosa pines, here in eastern Washington state and the last big windstorm brought down over 250 of them. Lots of roof damage and roofs having to be replaced all over the area. City parks and schools were hit especially hard.
Best scary tornado video ive ever seen. hope everyone made it. simply horrifying.
First it's eerily calm. Then it starts getting dark and then very dark. Then you hear thunder. Then the power goes out. Then you hear the roar of a freight train in the distance getting louder and louder. And then you see debris and the wind begins to get violent. And then all hell breaks loose and you are in the grinder. Thank you for posting - very educational for folks to see the transition from a simple rain shower to the most violent of storms.
It doesn't matte rhow many times I watch this but the anticipation gets me everytime! Are these guys the ones that rescued their neighbor but the little girl was already gone? The reason I ask is the ones that did said 'dude' a lot too... I'm not trying to be rude. It's just an identifier...
21:28 "you can feel the pressure drop". Amazing. Did your ears pop? What sensations did you feel?
I had always suspected this was the same tornado that hit Ohatchee that day, and I looked up the tornado track, and sure enough it was. The Calhoun county tornado had been on the ground for two hours when it hit Ohatchee, and the extended track confirms it. What a monster!
WOW! Amazing! The tornado is just moving away, you can still hear it. Their house almost destroyed, jusr missed by the Tornado, and they are moving around, rying to figure out what to do. Total destruction, and they just barely missed getting hit head on by a strong EF4 Tornado. Lucky to have survived. Glad you made it through ok. You are strong people. Hold onto that strength.
I’m glad that you guys were okay. I love severe weather and would give anything to see a tornado in person, but even if the tornado doesn’t look like it’s headed for you, you should have been in your shelter. You were very lucky to have been alive, but non the less great video!
Trust me...you do NOT want to see a tornado in person, not unless you are a long way from it. I have experienced three, and each was terrifying.
@@danabuck6461: I chase tornadoes as of right now. All I’ve seen was on anti-cyclonic. I go out there not to see the tornado itself, but to report the tornado so that NWS knows about it if radar will not detect it with the standard process.
I think it was awful that forgot about poor max, they had plenty of time to take him in the basement too. My cats would go with me with any hesitation because Miss Kitty and Bayo are like my children.
Idiot
Hi from the UK, “ Boy O Boy “ that was intense, at least your TV is OK. You guys still had a sense of humour after that, amazing.
You dudes took a huge risk. But a great video! Glad you’re ok and I see you went out and helped clean up everywhere. ❤️
Great video. Goes to show you how fast things can go from being good to a total nightmare.
My only issue is honestly you should've had your tv on abc 33/40 James Spann is a much better meteorologist in my opinion.
One more question: was the area where you were hit by an exceptionally strong storm with very high winds and torrential winds which followed shortly after the tornado? I'm trying to figure out if you were in the area affected by what is called the rear flank downdraft, which typically features high to extremely high winds and torrential rains following a short quiet period after the tornado passes. (I hope this doesn't bring up bad memories of the day!)
I really couldn't tell you. I know that we were not hit head on. After we got out of the house and started searching the rest of the area I was just glad I still had most of my house. We probably were in the rear flank though.
daysaved Good video man. Yeah you took a hell of a blast of RFD there. Glad you guys were OK, sad to read about your neighbor's daughter.
Where's our porch????? Having a flight with a tornado
Obviously the porch lost.
+erik dennard he said flight not fight
Legend has it that their porch is still in the sky.
"Air..porch"....
Wow, that's pretty intense. Glad you all are okay. Great footage, dude! I am amazed that you all stayed calm during the whole thing, which is not easy for most people to do
