I saw none flying, only ground beef. I'll show myself out...

I feel like many people underestimate how fast a tornado really is. Even for some of the weakest tornados that have happened in history, they seem to be moving so slow until it’s right up on you. Then you can REALLY see how fast it’s really twisting around.

Poor creatures. It’s so sad they couldn’t do anything and must have been so scared. 😢

[davidtimms]

If there were cows flying, then the "steaks are high."🤣🤣🤣

This video captures the true scope and absolute terror of nature probably better than any other tornado video I’ve seen.

My grandmother was in the cellar near Stillwater Oklahoma in the 40's when a Tornado hit their farm (she was a child) and one of the stories she tells is about an old cow that was lifted up and placed at the bottom of a well with nothing more than a small scratch on its back...for several days after the tornado chickens would wander back completely plucked but still alive. One good piece of advice I learned from her, if you are ever in a tornado bring a hatchet into the basement or cellar with you so can chop your way out if the house collapses.

My mom grew up in rural Ohio. She remembers having to go to the basement as tornados would roll through. One time it literally ripped the roof off their barn and dropped it half a mile away. Somehow, the chickens got dropped there too but survived. However, they wouldn't move for days and were frozen from shock so they put all the chickens in big bags and carried them home. My mom is a C level data analyst now and it's always crazy to think about.

Amazing video. Didn't see any cows "sucked up" though so sadly have to classify this as yet another click bait title on Youtube.

"I gotta go Julia we got cows"

[adobotravels]

When the cow woke up, she heard a voice. “You’re not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy”

I'm so glad my eyesight is poor enough that I couldn't see those cows being sucked up. Hope those farmers and their families are safe. 🙏🏻

[jaxsonsanders]

I saw no cows but I hope they're okay.
Cause I love cows.

[sagittariusone]

I know that cows are used for food, but to be honest I really didn't want those cows getting injured or killed from this Tornado.

First: Poor Moo Cows 😭

Second: Hope people in the farm were ok

Third: it’s amazing how far the quality of videos has come! That’s is a stupid good shot. Literally the best I’ve seen on YouTube. (And I’m also just now realizing this was 9 YEARS this legit looks like 4K and is still the best quality tornado video I’ve come across lmao

Cows: "Ooh, what is all that noise and wind, let me take a closer look!"

[kikenna]

"Cow..."

"...Another cow"

"THAT'S THE SAME COW"

[jorgeespinosa]

"Dad, can I get a car?"
"When cows fly."

We had a bad tornado several years back. Completely tore apart a Lowe's building. Somehow everyone survived in the store. However there is this farm not far away that didn't fare so well. Horses and cows i believe were killed. It was horrible. Look it up if you want. Sanford NC tornado destroys Sanford Lowes and Horse Farm. I've never seen nothing like it.

I was trying to stifle my laughter when a cow left the ground. But no cows were flying, so I couldn't start laughing and say "oh no, my steak!" 😂😂
