    8:56 Good thing those leaking anhydrous ammonia tanks were on the downwind side of the road. That gas is deadly, and extends far beyond the visible vapor.

      THIS!!! Anhydrous Ammonia(NH3) is EXTREMELY dangerous and can cause fatal injury in seconds!
      Driving into the bulk site was very ignorant, had there been a valve that suddenly failed, you could not escape if you were in the cloud ... NH3 is heavier than air, so it concentrates low to the ground and it volitizes(turns to gas) down to -40° ...
      Please pass this along to other chasers!

      @@timnewman1172 to pickup and throw those wagons like that just lets us know the power those storms have! And you are right., .NH3 is nothing to mess around if there is containment problems. Too many ways to get hurt by that stuff. Asphyxiation, .freeze burn, caustic chemical burn, and rapid dehydration. Lungs and eyes can be permanently damaged quickly. People definitely need to stay away, and especially up wind. And fresh water is your first aid.

Seriously though, people like you bicker about chasers and what they should and shouldn't say. I call people like you "CZcams chasers" in other words let chasers be chasers and if you do not like what they say or how they chase, then go find a politically correct chasing video.

      @kwiksand12, when they come upon the storm, what you see is the wall cloud, and just under that you will see a funnel..we lose view behind the hill( can't help land lay) but when they crest, you see dust start to kick up as the funnel touches down, and the tornado is a wedge shaped funnel coming from its spawning spot in the wall cloud. Beautiful but often deadly.

The "female in the car" was only concerned about him driving over the power lines. The only real danger of driving over power lines is that you might snag a wire on your undercarriage and either pull other poles down or get wrapped up in them (in which case DON'T exit your car!!!). But those were flat on the ground and nothing to "snag" - like driving over a hose. Honestly... most times **I'M** the one screaming at chasers for being unsafe and acting like traffic laws don't apply to them. But this just isn't one of those times.
