Finally someone who knows how to hold a camera during a disaster. I’ll never get used to tornados and I live in Kansas. So scary and devastating.

[PanduPoluan]

Excuse my language but ... Holy Shit, that clip on 0:59, that's totally terrifying !!

I have never seen a tornado move that quickly or violently since bridge creek 1999, smithville and Joplin in 2011.

I have a feeling we are going to have another 2011 with tornadoes.

1:00 A horizontal vortex that wrapped around the entire upper half of the funnel?? You don't see that every day. Reminds me of Tuscaloosa, 2011.

This thing was easily EF3 or EF4. I am curious what the survey team finds and if any Mobile DOW measurements were taken.

This tornado was a F3. The tornado that hit Leechville was a F4. We had a tornado in EVERY county in the Delta last night

[ArielQuinn-ie]

My loving, honest and sincere prayers for everyone affected by these twisters ❤

[Grover]

0:59 that horizontal vortex was monstrous!!!

The core of this tornado is pushing well over 200 miles per hour winds, and it's a wedge tornado ef4+ rated tornado. And I can see power transformers popping from the vortex very dangerous

[moonpiespotlight]

Even in the most remote of locations, with not a human in sight, if there's a tornado someone will magically yell out "debris" and "power flashes".

[wycxl]

i would’ve assumed this was an ef5 at first sight

[corinthompson]

I live just 2 hours away from this town...before it hit there, we had tornado warnings, hail, winds....then it made its way there...pray everyone is ok! ❤

[valtiel]

omfg the Tornado had a gigantic NOSE.
it was like it reached out and sniffled at its next target...
mother nature is mocking us....

[scoreq]

Ok but if you're kids are crying and terrified, then leave

[cvgyjcn]

Wow, impressive and scary at the same time !

[Dayz]

Dang, Tornado looks absolutely beautiful. I'm infatuated with tornadoes. I want to see one once in my lifetime but if I dont no biggie. You guys ever wonder what it like if you were inside the tornado but in the middle of it? Pretty cool to think about but scary also.

[aeatoefan]

Dang the horizontal vortex was like a quarter sized of the tornado

[paulcarpenter]

Apocalyptic people standing there watching it when it's calm from a distance it's just massive craziness

We had a tornado last night but it wasn't in the town😢

[WildWeather]

You can see even the Horizontal Vortex from the Main Vortex
