This was filmed by a storm chaser. It started just southwest of my city in a neighboring city and made its way through another town 9 miles away before hitting mine. At the end of the video there are 2 white 18 wheelers. The chaser says that both made it safely out of the path but unfortunately 1 did not.

Man, that beast turned into a violent wedge so quickly!!

On bad weather days, I watch Ryan Hall Y'all on YouTube. 

He live streams with meteorologists & storm chasers for over 12 hours straight if needed, & gets warnings out faster than any weather station or service. 

His main meteorologist- Andy Hall- analyzes & explains radar signatures along storm fronts the whole duration, & consistently anticipates & issues severe thunderstorm & tornado warnings to the audience before the National Weather Service.  It's truly uncanny. 

His team also helps with disaster relief assistance through his nonprofit before FEMA arrives.

The tornado was in my city from the eleven minute mark until finish. The neighborhood I live in is at the 14 minute mark.  We lost our funeral home, Baptist Church and family life center and around 9 families lost their homes. I was without electricity for 6 days.

Sorry to see/hear this, Chief. I hope the townspeople are healing.

On a different note, storm chasers are the OG FAFOs.
