The Mike Lesey footage is very familiar because that's near where I live. January 22, 2017 tornado in Albany, GA

In June of 1981 we had an F2 tornado go through Minneapolis and its suburbs. I lived in Southwest Minneapolis where at the time all the neighborhood streets were lined with giant Elm trees on both sides. I remember sensing the sudden calm on a windy day so I got up and looked out our front window. All of a sudden the wind started to blow hard and I looked to my left and thought those Elm trees were almost blown over. I looked to my right and the Elms were almost blown over a well. By the time I looked left again the Elms were on the ground and then the ones on the right were down. I never actually saw one Elm blow over as I was looking the wrong way each time. We had hundreds of Elms blown down for blocks. We lived on a corner house and the trees in our yard survived with no house damage but ever tree starting across the street for blocks went down with many falling on houses. The only fatality happened just a few blocks away when a tree fell over on a 20 year old man.

Wow.....lots of adjectives in the narration....but not one clip of an actual tornado. 🙄

Wow! I can't believe they actually talked about Georgia! And in my area!

I call these types of tornadoes grinders. They grind up everything and everyone on the ground

If he says “wrath,” one more time…🫣!!!

Stupid ai narrator. Is this how lazy the internet has made us?

I'll just stay and say OMG.

The last video, Clem was crushed by his chimney but survived. His wife, still in the kitchen when the house was flattened, ended up underneath Clem as the house collapsed. She did not survive. 😥

1:47 I know he’s excited but I guess that’s how people talk now. Holy fkn sht!!

I hope these people have excellent home owners insurance because...damn

I live in Tornado Alley, and for those of you who don't, there is nothing more terrifying than hearing a massive storm outside... followed by the tornado siren.

I live in Southern Louisiana. We don't experience tornadoes but hurricanes are always a threat. At least we have time to prepare and evacuate if necessary. Hurricanes are so destructive as most people know. I've never experienced a tornado in my 60 yrs of living down South. It's my worse nightmare. Katrina did a real number on us all down here. And the surrounding states. 😢

This tornado was pure chaos. All of those horizontal vortices are otherworldly.

What the Edmond, OK guy experinced is one of my biggest fears just driving at night and out of no where a tornado hits!

lol this tornado wasn’t unthinkable at all. Jarrell in 1997 is unthinkable.

That last video is one of the best tornado videos though. It's almost as good as the Clem Schultz video. Definitely in the top ten. That flood of debris at high speed and then the noises of the impact. Scary stuff.

Humans have the curiosity of cats and we all know how the saying goes...I do however want to point out Clem's video at 6:24 . This is a 70+ year old man who simply thought his house could stand a direct hit by a tornado. Said so himself. I guess he just did not understood that sometimes tornados get so wrapped up and spin so violently they can peel the skin from your bones and bore 2 feet channels into the ground...And you don't even really need to be hit by the vortex to have your home torn apart. The wind being pulled into the vortex and expelled on the back side is all it takes sometimes. Whatever the case is, he didn't even leave the top floor of his home. He barely got away from the window. He lost his wife who was on the first floor when this beast struck his home directly. This has to be the most harrowing tornado footage of all time. There is stupid and then there is just not well informed...I believe Clem falls into the latter category..

The silence, no birds or squirrels, not a leaf moves.beware

I remember this happening as a child. This is absolutely correct.

Those people filming from a vehicle is crazy! I have major ptsd from being in a tornado when I was 13 years old while sitting at a red light. The car was literally bouncing up and down then a piece of debris was thrown into the windshield. My friends mom was in shock and I was screaming “floor it”. She finally did and I watched the tornado tearing up the town through the back windshield as we drove away. It was sunny and beautiful on the other end of town which blew my mind. We picked my friend and her dad up from the Chinese restaurant (we went to another restaurant bc we don’t like Chinese) they didn’t believe us until they seen the car and all the police/emergency management. This was before iPhones but if I had one it would’ve been killer footage.

The washington tornado formed in pekin, passed within a mile of my house in east peoria, and hit washington. Scary day.

How come Trump is not being drug tested ? Every red blooded American put on probation is drug tested ! The system is rigged for Donald Trump ! Vots see blue if you neleive that all men are created equal!

Amazing

Someday God will quit vacuuming the floors of heaven if he only knew what it was doing down here😂

At the time was the largest city in Alabama now that Is Huntsville Alabama the new largest city in Alabama and isn’t likely to change ever again. And will soon surpass bham metro soon

You also get that greenish hue in the sky. It’s terrifying. Even the birds and wildlife get quiet. 😔🙏❤

Just before a tornado hit (about a mile away), the air became not just quiet, but dead--lacking in any vitality--like it had no ozone. It felt really wrong, sick. The clouds on the horizon were sickly green, and the circulating clouds above me were reddish purple.

These are very old tornado videos that others have already posted/documented a long time ago….

When you thought you saw it all, these morons ccome along.

Seen it, felt it. Not a leaf moving. Clouds still swirling overhead. Olathe, Kansas, many years ago. Never been back.

The sound in Clem's video when the tornado hits is horrific.

8:00 😂~That wood be me

These video edits suck

“…bravery of those who document it.” More like stupidity 😓 but I still appreciate the footage. 👍🏽 🌪️ 😮

If it looks like it’s standing still it’s coming towards you

Called the cone of silence. It is one of the most ominous things that a tornado has in its arsenal of destruction

Aunty Em!....

This is just not smart is it - no one wants to watch death or near that, with a mass of whirling dirt and darkness and a deafening noise in your face - yea We know but don't wanna know thanks. You're not gonna save any lives with this ''information'' , just tell people to keep a clear distance.

I would think if your house was destroyed you'd be able to go past 'freakin'. That last guy waited until the last second. I think it would be neat if someone had a little dugout with a plexiglass dome and record the thing going right over the top of them. Strong latches, of course. Low angle dome, like a sturdy contact lens.

A high quality very sensitive AM radio plus a shortwave radio with SSB for tuning regional HAM radio communications can provide a lot of interesting and important information when everything else locally is dead. That happened to my area during and after hurricane Laura. I was the only person with information in my community. FM radio has gone national and there was absolutely nothing on the one FM station I could still hear which is hard to believe!

WHERE WERE THE TORNADO SIRENS?!!!

That was a tornado that flipped that car

The Weather Channel talking heads are always guilty of doing exactly this.

The same thing happens with an eclipse of the sun occurs. Even the crickets shut up.

Absolutely nothing brave or courageous about the people who shot those videos. They are all people who took unnecessary risks which put themselves and those they were with in more danger.

Some people are so dramatic, even long after the event has passed.

BELIEVE IN JESUS THE SON OF GOD THE ONE THAT DIED FOR YOUR SINS ON A CROSS!! HE IS COMING BACK SOON SO DON'T DELAY!!

I still wanna slap Josie

“Bravery?” I don’t think so. Especially dad “OMG Josie! We’re all gonna die! EVERYTHING IS GONE! Omg!” (Comforting dad!)
