MAN FILMS MONSTER TORNADO HITTING HIS HOUSE! Fairdale IL #Tornado

MAN FILMS MONSTER TORNADO HITTING HIS HOUSE! Fairdale IL #Tornado Shot by "Clem" Shultz April 9, 2015.
As this EF-4 monster tornado was about to ravish Fairdale, IL Clem Shultz went upstairs to grab some lanterns...what he saw when he looked out the window was unfathomable.

[LITTLE]

This video is a PRIME EXAMPLE of the famous warning "If a tornado is not moving to the left or right, it is heading directly for you".

[KlBl]

This is the first and only video of a tornado where I actually heard the freight train sound that so many people talk about..crazy.

[MitchNeil]

I gotta give props to this 85 year old man for filming what is probably the most incredible tornado video ever recorded. Storm chasers spend their entire lives trying to capture footage like this.

[allanswain]

What scares me the most about tornados is how fast they actually are, they look slow but can travel pretty fast

[Woomy]

The shakey breaths, the horrify sounds, the darkness slowly swallowing everything...this is so incredibly terrifying...

[afridgetoofar]

I’ve watched literally _hundreds_ of tornado videos, and this one ranks right at the top. There has never been anyone film a tornado from this perspective and survive, including their camera!

[jainee]

The sound of the tornado approaching sounds eerie and otherworldly. Living through an event like this is so badass.

[jjuanejett]

This is the scariest recording of a tornado that i have ever seen. My heart hurts for the loss of this mans wife, im so sorry. I would of literally had a real heart attack. You were beyond brave for recording this monster storm

[sonimbetterthanyou]

By far and away the scariest and best tornado video ever recorded. I'm so sorry to the guy who lost his wife in this. Prayers go out to him and his family truly.

[Twizzledoc]

This is the most profound recording of a tornado approaching ever. It’s a miracle that he survived this.

[sanemishinazugawa]

I feel so bad for Clem, but the way he survived after being hit by a huge tornado makes him strong. It is so unbelievable that he survived it

[SkyChaserCom]

I was chasing this storm and stopped in Fairdale to help. This video is just incredible. It's sad he lost his wife and house, but the video quality is just insane (from a scientific point). Also, some debris was tracked from that area and falling in Wisconsin (80 miles away) in mere minutes.

[claytonbrown]

That is the most disturbing sound I've ever heard.

[rachaeguillaume]

The fact that man was brave enough to film that tornado is insane.

[martiusyamamoto]

For the first time ever I had the chance to hear the infamous, over-reported freighter train rattling sound deafening his desperate rasping breaths. The scariest footage of a tornado I have ever seen.

[jmcsquared]

My god you can even hear the train sound people talk about.

A black wall of death was literally walking towards him at 1:50 and the dude didn't even flinch. Biggest-balled cameraman in history. I hope his wife rests in peace.

[ashsworld]

I Can’t even imagine how loud it was in person

[tonyaoconnell]

I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video... oddly enough, I haven't become desensitized. It is still terrifying every time. The wind literally screams like a demon. I take every possible tornado scenario in my area seriously because of this video.

[BiLLYUM_]

The fact that this person apparently survived is amazing. That is a big tornado probably an EF4 if I had to guess and they're near a window on the top floor it looks like.

Destruction scale:
1:21 Trees start shaking but the tornado is far.
1:26 A powerflash occurs.
1:42 His roof shingles fly off of his house.
1:53 Neighbors house starts getting devastated.
1:54 Powerline then falls.
1:56 You can see debris, and you can hear bricks or roof shingles flying in the air.
This will give it an EF4 rating.
1:57 You have not seen the base of the house start flying yet.
1:58 The entire screen fades to pitch black.
2:19 Weird noises, similar to tornado debris noises in the debris field.
2:31 Something hits- well, the "house" after being ravaged by an EF4 tornado.
2:53 wind completely calms down.
