  • View is in the southerly direction on the south side of the tornado path and I believe it captures the inflow into the tornado. The center of the tornado path is about 2000ft to the right of the camera.
    Tornado Approaches around 5:30 Timepoint.
    There is a steadily increasing low frequency roar as the tornado approaches that might be the sound of the tornado.
    Update:
    I found some preliminary data from the NOAA on the tornado track and specific intensities. I've updated my initial estimates based on this. The location of the EF4 damaged areas of Newnan are about 4000ft away and the EF3 damage on Newnan HS is about 3500ft away just to give you a relative perspective. I think the intensity you're seeing in the video is probably in the EF0/EF1 range based on our location in the path. The experience must have been much worse closer in. I would love to hear some expert observations on what we're seeing (and hearing) here. I can probably get time stamps for the video.
    There's a lot of interest in the camera. It's a Unifi G3 Bullet. It's mounted up under the edge of the roof. I'm assuming the roof edge is what shielded it. It did get a little dirty but wasn't hit with anything - just barely.

    The low roar in the 6:00+ range is definitely the tornado. This is one of the best audio recordings of the sound of a tornado that I have heard. Most are muddled by wind noise on the microphone, but this one is perfect leading up to the wind noise actually blowing in the mic.

  • @craysr.2617

    Since it was dark and the tornado was likely shrouded in a fog of rain and debris it might be difficult to capture the tornado wedge. This view is actually facing away from the tornado and captures the inflow mostly. Center of the path was probably about 2000ft away.

      Precisely! We say that you should have two ways of Receiving Tornado Warnings and Neither One Of Them Should Be Tornado Sirens! NOAA Weather Radios Are The Very Best And Should Be Your Primary Alert & Your Computer, Cellphone, Television Or Radio Should Be Your Secondary Way Of Receiving Warnings! Don't Rely On Tornado Sirens To Warn You Of An Approaching Tornado! They were a good idea in an era before NOAA Weather Radio Broadcasts didn't cover many areas of the country. But now, that has been rectified! NOAA has built many more Broadcast Stations & Transmitters That Will Cover Almost All Populated Areas Of The Country And They Are The Best Way Of Receiving Urgent Weather Warnings.

The sounds of those would be deafening. My heart goes out to everyone who was effected by this. Who’s houses got destroyed and business. I hope and pray that there was no lives lost.

    That sound is VERY familiar! I went through this in May 2019, on a Saturday night. The lightning was spectacularly SCARY & then stillness. The only way to see the tornado was when lightning lit up the sky - you could see the rotation & funnel coming down. We went into the storm shelter & waited. The forecaster & storm chasers were forcefully telling everyone to “take cover now! & the sirens were blaring. You think it’s right above you, but it was 1 mile from the house. That roar was scary AF as you hoped the storm shelter would hold up. It changed direction at the last minute so all we had were downed limbs, roofing shingles & trash cans strewn about in the neighborhood. 1 mile away was a different story; no deaths, but a LOT of damage.

    Details: Tornado started in Heard County at 11:37PM and tracked along 39 miles to Fayette County where it ended at 12:30AM on 3/26/21. It was a confirmed EF4 that was 1.05 miles wide (1850 yards) clocking in at 170MPH+ wind speeds. There was one fatality and multiple injuries from this particular storm. Folks got lucky in Newman (population 50,000); given the time of the event, the EF4 rating, and the overall storm size, this could have been much much worse... thank God it wasn’t.

      @@Markbabb we get a lot of tornado warnings, but not actual tornados. the national weather service estimates that we get about 60 a year with most being very small and not lasting very long. the last EF4 that we got before the newnan one was april 27 2011 + we’ve never recorded an EF5. so this tornado is quite literally one of the strongest that has ever hit georgia. doesn’t help that newnan is a pretty big city (population of 39k, peachtree city has 35k for comparison) . the EF4 from 2011 killed 7 people and injured 30 so i’m very happy that there’s been less damage this time around

    Not only is this security camera sturdy, but it also has a battery backup for when the tornado takes out the power lines.
    That's really impressive.
    The roar from that tornado was incredible to hear and must've been terrifying to experience in person.
    Not often do you hear the siren and get hit directly in the next few minutes.
    The lights stayed on for a pretty long time.

    This is very well captured. I hope the GA NWS gets a copy of it for educational and archive purposes.

      During Hurricane Ivan, at 2 am a tornado went through a line of pine trees about 50 feet behind our house. Ivan was already blowing so hard that you couldn't hear the extra wind, but the pines sounded like cannon fire when they snapped. I was more worried about the roof coming off, the way it was creaking.

    The fact that they included 7 min of build up beginning with the sound of sirens, rumbles of distant thunder then the dull roar of the tornado as it approaches is sheer terror. Hollywood couldn't have done it better!

    Jeeeeez, when you first hear that sound. Think I usually close my eyes to block out everything except listening. First to decide if it's a constant sound. Then, if it is, listen to see if it's getting louder or softer.
    Glad you guys are okay.

    I remember watching the meteorologist tracking this storm that night. I live about 3 counties east of this and we were so worried about this storm. I always watch Glen Burns and Brad Nitz on stormy nights and watching them stress how bad this storm was terrifying. Glen said he had been tracking this storm for 12 hours and he was willing to keep going to keep the viewers safe. So many people dismiss storms but seeing this storm rapidly intensify and just as rapidly die makes me thankful to the meteorologist who keep an eye on these storms. Them and the storm chasers. I also have a radio and I remember hearing a storm chaser say they had eyes on the tornado and them report it live gives me chills.
