“This is the first tornado I’ve ever seen in my life! 🥰” “SON, GET IN HERE!”

"This is the first tornado I've ever seen!😀"
Might be your last if you keep standing there

You have good people looking after you Zach.

just cause the funnel wasn't fully condensed, doesn't mean its gone, there is still ground circulation and debris actively flying.

A storm chaser once said that if you wanna film a tornado, make sure to see it moving. Or else, theres 50% chance it's coming for you

Don’t stand in front of windows 🤦 if glass shards get in the eyes it’s gonna be a shitty day for you

Just cuz it went up doesn’t mean it’s gone

I’m studying weather;
Something a lot of people don’t realize is that Florida is in the top 3 places in the country that sees a lot of tornadoes. Number one being Oklahoma. Last I remember Florida is #2. They’re not always big ones, in majority cases they’re like this, relatively small and fast moving, so they’re not on the ground for long and typically form as funnel clouds. Theres been a few that maybe got to EF3 rating depending who you ask and the level of damaged(that’s how they’re measured; level of damage.)
It’s takes a little more than what it takes in the Midwest for a tornado to stay on the ground longer with variables like dew point and pressure.

“This is the first tornado I’ve ever seen!” Man, that right there is true excitement. Some people are attracted to Mother Nature even when it’s something devastating it is still absolutely stunning!

The second electrical explosion ended it.

I hope it doesn’t get worse in the next few years. I can’t imagine an EF3 tornado or higher in a major city 😮😢
We had 5 tornadoes in the Washington DC area the other day but thankfully they were only EF1

That video shot from the balcony of that high rise that close to the tornado was scary but at the same time fascinating. Thank God the tornado wasn't larger than that!!

[DracoPlaysYT]

I've never seen a tornado go through a "city". Usually, they go through smaller communities. Even though they both have a ton of houses and people, cities are usually much more compact and have larger buildings, which for some reason can deter Tornadoes.

Pls wish me luck there is about to be a tornado in my area I’m praying Me and my family don’t get hurt or die

We were traveling a a road in Florida near the beach. A water spout was heading inland. To us it was a tornado. We got out and got in the ditch. Cars were going by honking and people were laughing. We are from Michigan. We dont fool around with anything that lookes like a tornado heading toward us. 😮

To those who don't have tornados in your area. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM WINDOWS AND FIND SHELTER! GET TO THE BOTTOM FLOORS AND TAKE SHELTER IN A CLOSET OR BATHROOM! DONT JUST STAND THERE AND FILM AND RISK YOUR LIFE! EVEN IF IT SEEMS SMALL TORNADOS CAN TAKE A TURN AND TURN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! Thank you.

That city really didn’t let that tornado even get a chance to touch it💀

[TheOicyu]

The anemometer and the wind direction sensor at the corner of the outdoor balcony both looked terrified.

I had a tornado in my city(2023 Bahía Blanca/Argentina), but I the only thing that I could see was a wall of water(idk how to say it), trees falling, and a lot of noise from the outside.A wall killed 13 people and some people need prosthesis.

Never thought about what it looks like as a tornado rips power lines and electrical wiring, but watching it just pull fire and sparks into the air was shocking.
