The helpless feeling of knowing there is nothing you can do about it.

I have family and friends that stay in that camp ground. I haven’t heard from anyone yet. Praying no one was hurt

[megamankeht]

If you’re ever in this situation just make sure you grab a camera and record. The cameraman never dies.

The tornado intensified very fast and had horizontal vortices whipping around it, no doubt at that moment it was extremely strong

[suezaple]

my prayers go out to all of you from Ontario Canada this is devastating.

I’m originally from the Midwest; tornadoes are no joke. 😞

When you see a horizontal tornado wrapping around the main tornado then this tornado must be really powerful

I can't believe the lights stayed on the guy's house.

One of the best shapeshifters i have seen in a while. One minute it’s a rather large stovepipe, then it just manifests itself into a snakey rope. Sick subvortices too

[tshaffer]

WOW !!!! That is some spectacular footage. I hope everyone is alright.?

[nannerz]

This looks like it's out of a movie with the lights flashing and everything. Best tornado video I've seen in a while.

The lights on in the house and then them flickering was super eerie.

Around 1:20 to 1:28 the tornado creates the iconic dead man walking with the sub vortecies

The amount of “only in Ohio” comments makes me sick.

[michaelatencio]

That tornado was powerful, you could tell the upward motion. I'm sorry for anyone who lost a love one, businesses, homes, or injured. I'm praying for you all effected by these storms

[buddygrimfield]

Glad that red house was ok. Thought that it was a goner for sure when I saw the lights start to flicker!

[brandycopeland]

Strange how the Eclipse next month will be at totality here next month. God be with you all here in Ohio. Sending you prayers

[handbananaistherapist]

The really terrifying part of watching a tornado is the one coming up behind you! So fixated on the one in front of you!

[TurboMusicArtist]

[kyriethika]
