I would like to see chasers, along with spotters, have a direct line to the NWS to get the word out ASAP so to alert the public as quickly as possible in order to save lives. It’s one thing to see a tornado form and adrenaline that comes with it. It means NOTHING if saving lives are not a priority and part of this process. I will add that the video is exceptionally well taken.
My chase partner Nick streams for Ryan Hall, he was in direct communicating while it was ongoing. Ryan’s people relay what we’re seeing to the NWS much faster than we’re able to, which allows us to better focus on documenting and tracking the storms.
I was on the storm that day. We knew 24 hours out where the potential area was going to be. By that morning we had already set up on several storms where the potential for tornado development was high. Long before any tornadoes were visible, we could see significant rotation on our radar apps along with classic hook echos. By then the SPC was already issuing out tornado warnings based on these radar images. Depending on the three tornadoes we saw that day, people had anywhere from 10-20 minutes advanced warning time. Tornado sirens were active in all the towns that I passed through. The tornado that hit greenfield was huge and an F4 with some of the vortices an F5. With homes in the USA mostly constructed from matchsticks, they don’t stand a chance if a warning is given a month in advance. What’s the most important thing and where time, monies and efforts could be best spent is having quickly accessible tornado shelters across these states.
Great video captured of the chase and to see another perspective! Wish we chased it further to the east instead of bailing south where we got caught in the chaser traffic along Hwy 43 to head east. But we did also capture the rope out of the Carbon tornado.
@@AlexFanningWX I've been around em plenty and never noticed a smell, but only in Central Texas so the only smell we get from them is freshly departed cattle... Must be nice; your local twister smelling like a car wash air freshener as opposed to a slaughter house lol
@@AlexFanningWXyou could smell it 2 weeks after it broke so many trees out by the lake and the road going (the back way to greenfield) you could smell it for days after. Definitely crazy!
Wind speeds measured by the DOW are now as high as 309-318 mph in the Greenfield tornado! Making this one of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded.

Had it not been for the downed tree we would have followed it into greenfield
good video and job friend
Great job ! 👍
Excellent!
That was insane. It was right in front of you. You should have way more likes and views. Very very good footage.
I appreciate that!
At 7:20, it reminded me of the scene in twister where Jo and bill drive up to the F3!
Wow!
Ryan Hall in the background.😂😮
He was mildly concerned lol
Did somebody say you can smell it?!? 😂😂
Yep! You can smell the soil and wood when you cross the path right after!
Yes, there is a distinct smell of well-blended grass, trees, mud, broken wood. Once you smell it you will always recognize it.
