The Strangest Tornado I've Ever Chased

On August, 8th, 2023, I chased an incredible tornado near Yuma, Colorado. On the ground for nearly 30 minutes, this erratic tornado takes me on a wild adventure, as this crazy twister takes on one of the most bizarre tornado tracks ever documented.

Thanks for an awesome video! Glad you got out safely! Rock on!

This is hands down the best editing I've seen Freddy. Perfectly captures the abrupt transition from meteorological analysis to "HOLY CRAP TORNADO". You've outdone yourself.

[stimpycole]

I love how you included Ryan, Connor, Alex, and Mike. Hands down the best chase of the season, and truly the most spectacular views of this tornado. Great work, Freddy!

Those shots around 3:00 are just scary to look at - there's something apocalyptic about a tornado that lifts dust like that.

[NinjaKnightBatman]

it's all fun and games until the tornado starts chasing you instead

[Hensch]

Can you see the dead man walking at 9:59 ? There is a Vortex appearing to the right of the main Tornado and it looks like a giant taking a step forward

[B_Babbitt]

9:06 gave me goosebumps, your staring at death itself.

[whonderbread]

was watching you live from start to finish for this chase… heart-stopping beauty and terror. extremely well captured!

[SGMayuriKurotsuchi]

1:23 I love how whoever was driving that car ahead of you had the BALLS to just pull up right next to a developing tornado and stop like the thing might not fully form in a heartbeat at any moment. Clearly, fear is a foreign concept to them.

One of the best chasing videos this year. Keep up the insane work Freddy!!

[AnneMariewx]

Boy did that bring back emotions from your live stream that evening. 😮
Thank you Freddy for making it possible for all of us to see what you are seeing. INCREDIBLE ‼️
Now to watch it like 7 more times 😊

It was crazy catching this one live. If some of you guys haven't seen the streams, they are insane. 10/10 would recommend.
Thanks for sharing all these otherworldly experiences with us!

I love all the different video perspectives included (including mine)😆. Glad I was able to enjoy that day with you, Connor, Alex, and Mike. #Yuma2023

Who is horrified by tornados but only wants to watch them?

Slowly shifting into a tornado nut myself, and what a feast this was! Absolutely fantastic editing and fitting music choices, and the fact you did it with friends adds a nice charm to it. I didn’t know tornadoes could loop :]!

[jacobatwater]

Tornado literally said "sike" to an entire town

[AmandaPelland]

You've captured absolutely fantastic tornado footage!! The best I've seen this year.

[TRGTornado]

This is the first footage of a tornado this year that gave me chills. Just the detail and the close-up view of a once-in-a-lifetime tornado is crazy. The timelapse at 6:45 is just crazy as you can see how the tornado forms and starts to strengthen! Great video!

[GreatLakesTornadoHunters]

That was the most insane chase I have witnessed. Especially, the 3 different types of tornado that made itself known from one storm. That was intense!!!! Felt like I was reliving that live stream again!!!! Awesome to see you, Ryan, Alex, Mike, and Connor were all there to capture that incredible footage!!!!

[ChrisWx]

I remember this day, that was a crazy supercell for sure. Y'all did an incredible job chasing and filming the insanity of this tornado as it happened. Incredible video guys, thank y'all for what you do!
