Jaw-dropping dash cam video shows tornado destroying building
Комментарии
The reason why we didn't stop was because we never came across extreme damage, of the homes we saw only a few roofs and walls missing, nothing really seemed to be life threatening. I did drive by a car that was hit, however I was driving at around 40 miles per hour in traffic when I noticed it, there was no way I could stop and pull over safely. Also my car was dying, and stopping meant gambling whether or not it would have started again. Neither of us have EMS training. My primary goal when out chasing is to document the tornadoes, frankly a situation like this is super rare and I apologize if you don't agree with how we handled it. Nobody died from this tornado because the REAL professionals were doing their job.

That was no Deadman Walking.. that was the whole family out dancing.

As someone with some basic EMS training, I think it’s a good thing you didn’t stop.
I think it’s a little irresponsible to have a hobby like this and not get any EMS training, but considering you don’t, the first thing you’re taught in any EMS training is always ‘don’t become another casualty’ and without training that’s what you’re risking. It’s likely less of a risk for y’all as you’re aware of the dangers of downed power lines and other such environmental hazards as just requirement for doing this hobby safely, but it’s still a risk and especially as you would be making that risk with no real first aid experience to help with, it’s better you didn’t stop.

3:02 We were astounded to come across your video on You Tube. That’s our home on the right that you mention was hit. You guys got out and went into the sod farm next to us to film, then drove past our house and the neighbors which you comment “that house is gone” and unfortunately it is completely gone now. They had to tear it down. We’re hoping to save what’s left so we can continue to live there. Most of our beautiful trees are gone. When you say you were “stopped by a power pole” you can see my car turning around in your video. That pole fell in front of me when I was trying to get home and I sat and watched it destroy my home and the neighbors. You can see me pass you when you take a detour due to the power pole, which I credit for saving my life…had it not fallen in front of me and stopped me I would have been driving up my driveway which, along with our acreage, was completely covered with our downed trees. My husband was outside the house watching the sky and didn’t realize it was the tornado he was looking at because he was so close to it. He was looking for a funnel-shape. He made it into the house and the crawl space just as it hit. The destruction to our property is devastating but we are thankful to be alive.

When I saw this, I thought 'not again'. I remember that storm, I was at school. The storm did keep us from taking a test that I had not studied for, which I believe I aced the following Monday. Nasty storm.

Some of the best tornado footage of the year so far, great job guys

Man, that flat landscape really puts into perspective how powerful and huge the rotation is, starting from the Mesocyclone to the tornado itself... looked like it was ripping open a wormhole to another universe, holy shit.

For the past days I've been binge watching tornado content and this chase really left me clenching my stomach and dazed. Honestly I was scared for you guys, great content, I get the amazement and enthusiasm but please be safe out there. Sometimes it is too close for comfort. 😥

That thing was absolutely insane to track on radar. I was in a call with some other weather enthusiasts, and the second the emergency went out we all went bat-crap crazy. I am so, so glad nobody died. Amazing work tracking this demon of an EF3 tornado! :D

My sister lost her home in Elkhorn. She said it was pure insanity.

Great video as usual, but the next time you see a house hit and youre friend asks do we need to go... the answer is yes. You guys seemed to have been first on scene.

This one missed my parents' house by a mile and a half while I was in Lincoln. I had no idea it had wiped out some of my home town until hours later. Scary.

some of my family members were actually 1-3 miles away from this tornado, they survived. Thank god! ❤

That is the scariest thing I have seen. I was flipping between stormchasers that day and saw your car in what seemed like the midst of it on radar, I am glad you survived.

I had gotten off of work early that day. I went to the local walmart to get things for my mother's birthday, when I decided to tune into Ryan Hall's stream. Seconds after joining, the storm jumped to PDS and immediately to Emergency. I had an awful feeling about what was about to happen.

The most beautiful multi vortex tornado I've ever seen filmed....good job and may God protect you out safe and awesome job guys

I am a little dismayed that neither of you stopped once you saw the first damaged houses to make sure no one was seriously hurt.
