You have amazing skill detecting where the storms will appear. I appreciate your concern for those in the path of the storms, your wisdom in discerning when to bailout, and NO foul language. Thank you. Fascinating presentation.

Lots of prayers to all of the people who lost a loved one or everything they own during this string of tornadoes. So glad you are safe.

[JoshWhetstone]

Thanks for chasing and streaming this. It was the most exciting livestream chase I’ve ever seen. Praying for all the lives affected by these violent tornadoes.

Lived in Waverly my whole life. You took the perfect path of roads to intercept. Most incredible thing I've ever seen with my 2 eyes

I remember this tornado. The EF4 in the outbreak destroyed Elkhorn and I’m pretty sure it went through Blair as well. my parents are divorced, so me and my dad live in Bennington, and my mom and I live in Fort Calhoun. It was scary. One of them passed by Blair, which was probably scary for my mom, considering the fact that Fort Calhoun is only a couple miles from Blair. Meanwhile, the EF4 passed a half of a mile from my dad’s house in Bennington. It’s wild how our house only had a couple (as in couple I mean about a couple million, cuz jeez there a lot) of shingles that needed to be replaced, while the house next to us would be completely flattened. My dad went upstairs from the basement and took a picture of the tornado and showed it to me. A week ago, he told me that he was bewildered about how I wasn’t scared, rather excited; ecstatic even. My dad and I both love mother nature’s surprises, but I guess that was too much for him. I was quite mad that he didn’t led me go upstairs and even see a GLIMPSE of it with my own eyes. It was then that I became fascinated by tornadoes. I recently started researching famous tornadoes, like El Reno tornado of 2013, Bridge Creek-Moore tornado of 1999, Rolling Fork tornado of 2023, and the Hallam tornado from 2004 in my hometown, Nebraska. Go Creighton, go Huskers, and GO TORNADOES!

Freddy, one of the most notable observations I made while you chased this tornado was how safe you drove. With anxiety and adrenaline, some drivers or chasers will do things that are dangerous. I appreciate how cautious you are. Good work! Awesome intercept! Seeing the damage as you drove behind it made my heart hurt for everyone that suffered damage. It really brings a picture of how brutal a tornado can be. Beautiful, but so scary at the same time.

Dude, I've never seen someone play pinball with so many tornadoes as you did, and man you was racking up the points today, your Dad must be proud of you ...

[markc]

Always enjoy your streams as you seem to have some real skill in anticipating where things are and aren't going to happen. Added plus:. No hysterical screaming!

[alexandralambert]

You are an absolute legend & hero to save that family and their dog today!!! You were soo calm & collected!! Thank you good sir!!

[stormcentric]

Historic livestream of a historic event - thank you Freddy and modsquad for all you did this day, 100% made a difference in raising awareness and doing best to keep the public safe and aware. INCREDIBLE

[artcreationsbydar]

I don’t know why this came into my feed but all I can say is Holy I am a 70:year old Grandmother and I was absolutely mesmerized! Plus I really thought you were going to die! But you were amazing! Your Dad must have taught you all of this???
Well done Son! Stay safe always.

[deepcoolclear]

Some of the footage composition is really great - the angles and way you capture close ups. That last multi vortex tornado was terrifying..

[GigiNYC]

Rewatching this and still can't believe this happened yesterday. Insane live footage.

[Jem]

You did an amazing job. I don't know how you manage to stay so cool and capture this stunning footage while driving in the rain, with a tornado coming at you and navigating these rural roads all at the same time. Best tornado footage I have ever seen. You were born for this.

[VonKickass]

Bro!!! This is now the new gold standard for how to follow, document and commentate on a tornado! If you continue to stay true to this new bar that you just set, the skies the limit! . . . Just don’t get sucked up into that sky 🌪️😉

[connierichards]

i live in Modale iowa ty we made it to the basement

[akabutu]

That has to be the best footage ever, no yelling and screaming 😆. Sending prayers to all those affected by this monster.

[idiotfish]

I have lived in Lincoln my whole life. This storm had by far the worst tornadic activity I've ever seen in Nebraska in my 25 years. Very scary... but the stormchaser footage was AMAZING to see!!

[HalloweenHalpin]

Was following along today and good lord that was some of the most heart racing television I’ve watched in years. Maybe even since they were hunting down the Boston Marathon bomber. I couldn’t look away when I saw how massive that wedge was.
