STONGEST TORNADO IN HISTORY? 300+ mph winds measured inside the Greenfield, IA tornado!

Breaking news! A 300+ mph wind gust was measured above 160 feet above ground-level by mobile radar inside this #tornado near Greenfield, Iowa, making it one of the most powerful tornadoes documented in History. Incredibly, this rare drone footage was captured just prior to this historic wind measurement! The multiple vortex nature of this compact tornado vortex is a characteristic of the more powerful tornadoes of the Great Plains!

Advice: if you ever see Reed standing in the middle of the road recording himself. Drive very very far away from him. 😂

4K video really allows us to see the details in a tornado that weren't possible before. In the 80's this would have just look like a grey wedge.

[Mar-velousMarlenak]

That is the most terrifying yet majestic thing that I have ever seen. It doesn't even look real. Truly mind boggling.

This looks like something out of a movie! Doesn’t even look real, this is insane!

0:33 What a monster. Multiple vortices along with some going violently horizontal. And a couple seconds later it snaps the windmill on the right in half even when the main funnel is pretty far away. Really shows you that a tornado is wider than your eyes can see

Yet no sponsorship (yet) from a drone company whose drone captured this incredible video near 300+mph winds.

Those subvorticies had subvorticies... Whata gnarly beast

[AmericanMetalhead]

This was unequivocally the gnarliest and most photogenic tornado of 2024.

[BassBully]

Probably the best footage I’ve ever seen. Y’all set the standard and keep pushing it further. Incredible

[jockojockoson]

The day you posted this I went on record saying that this historically significant capture will still be referenced by the meteorological community 100 years from now.

- I stand by this

Insane this is a once in a life time tornado. Congratulations Reed!!

[LeeTheWizard]

This might be my favorite tornado that you have had on stream. The vortices are mesmerizing.

[rockergirl]

watching those wind turbines snap in half was insane!

[RachelLara]

I’ve been watching your stuff since around 2006, if I’m being honest. I’m so glad to see you’re still following this path, and so meaningfully. As usual, incredible footage. Almost doesn’t even look real. Way to go.

[robmangeri]

Wow! That monster was glorious! This footage is some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen!

[lukemn]

Some of the best footage I've seen on YouTube, great job guys!

[jelsig]

One of the best videos: the inflows, multiple vortices, wind turbine, drone footage. How that drone doesn't get sucked in is beyond me.

Reed Timmer has now witnessed three 300+ mph tornadoes, the largest tornado and the second largest tornado, and intercepted many tornadoes. REED TIMMER IS THE BEST STORM CHASER EVER IN MY EYES

[gamooor]

I've never seen anything like that before. Incredible watching a tornado actually shred like that chaser was saying through that windmill. Devastating force.

[BeyondPC]

That is the most impressive video of a tornado I have ever seen. Nice catch!
