Maybe the best tornado 🌪️ footage I’ve ever seen of all time, along with the most pure and enjoyable commentary. The kid is destined for great things.

I'm going to start with, I mean zero offense to Reed Timmer, if he happens to see this. Reed is a great scientist who does great work and films astonishing video that no one else can even come close to grabbing, or so it would seem. Now, with that being said, I would take this kid's commentary on tornado videos any day of the week over Reeds excited screaming that he does. This kid showed his excitement, expressed his emotion, reminded us of safety, and what he was trying to capture when he was the one filming. He managed all that without monotonously screaming BIG TIME TORNADO! 86 times in the video. Sorry Reed if you see this, still love you and will still watch every video and livestream chase!

Edit: fixed a sentence

Most children would be scared to see such severe weather. But this little kid is a fearless natural curious child. What an amazing experience for both.

I don't know what I'm enjoying more: the superb footage of a tornado, or seeing an excellent father interacting with his smart, conscientious son! Best part is when the kid composes himself in the car after the bump, and ends up saying, "I'll just be more careful..." Bless you both.

Great footage of a wedge tornado never seen anything like it before. Give the kid an EMMY for his precise commentary.

I can see your son growing up loving weather systems. Pretty awesome listening to him describe what he's witnessing. When he compared the size of the hail to tennis ball size, he got me. He's smart and quick.

One of the most entertaining tornado videos posted this season!
The kid's commentary was spot on and he did far better than most adult videographers who are all over the place and not focused on the "action". It's obvious that dad has taught his son well to not freak out, but to instead have a healthy respect for the awesome display of God's power in nature.
Great job!!! 👏👏👏👏

I enjoyed your sons’ commentary. He is brave but knows when to move and take shelter💕

What an amazing young man! Your kiddo did an excellent job! Thanks for sharing. I hope everyone is safe.

Im telling you this is going to blow up. Not only do you have a tornado on film you have an adorable future storm chaser. Even the footage is steady as well as the commentary is awesome. Good job dad.

[TannerCharlesYT]

Love the interaction with your kid - also him filming the tornado was priceless. Loved his commentary! You're a great dad!

"It is real!" I love that your son got to witness this with you. Thanks for sharing this with us

[timr]

That kid is tuff as nails! You both seem to have a pretty good understanding of these storms and how they move and evolve. Incredible journey y’all are going on! Good luck!!!

Awesome Footage! Video of the year! Finally A True chaser (Father & son Team) staying anchored, focused & filmed a whole Tornado without constantly moving in & out of a car & a camera facing anywhere other than on the Tornado! Bravo to you sir & your lovely son (future chaser team)! You & Your Son should have a 'Storm chaser Live stream'... 10/10. Live stream Storm chasers-'This is how you do it!

[AmandaOmelchuk-smok]

Incredible video! “Look at this BEAST!” Your son was the best commentator and you did an amazing job keeping him safe and being so genuine about hoping no one got hurt. Amazing duo!

Beautiful countryside landscape. Beautiful sky. Beautiful father and child interaction and commentary. Excellent video.

Hey Graham, I just wanted to thank you again for coming out to help clean up in the aftermath of this tornado. We would have been lost without good folks like yourself. God bless.

[jblackmore]

Thank you for sharing! What an amazing experience! Listening to your son's commentary made it so much more enjoyable, too.

[DaisyMay]

Excellent filming young man! You are a natural! Incredible coverage of debris and depth of field! Great job! Both of you! 😉

[jacobs]

Absolutely stellar view of this! Shortly after, I was in that exact area at the end of the video checking in on some friends while watching it all unfold driving from Olds.

Glad you both are safe, and that kid got an experience I could have only dreamed of at that age! Take care.
