LIVE: Strong Tornado Threat In Central Nebraska

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]All right. Talk to you later.

[00:00:03]>> Okay. All righty.

[00:00:05]>> All right.

[00:00:05]>> Bye.

[00:00:06]>> Bye.

[00:00:07]>> Hey guys, we are here in Columbus, Mississippi. Oh my gosh. Not Columbus, Mississippi. We're here in Columbus, Nebraska. Let me reclose.

[00:02:57]is going to be last severe warning that cell >> that's pretty chill. Oh yeah, the stabilization is going to be so worth it.

[00:03:04]>> Potentially we playing devil's going to be crashing into it after a little bit. It almost be like a waterproof version of that and you just like mount the car >> and then you just like operated it from in here.

[00:03:19]>> Yeah, ideally that would be like >> that would be so sick.

[00:03:25]>> But also too though the wind though knowing when to take it in I'll probably damage the gimbal out of the gate though.

[00:03:31]>> It's definitely going to have time to do it.

[00:03:32]>> You don't think so?

[00:03:34]>> Not the right one.

[00:03:36]>> What did you say to >> All right, guys. I got to listen to the radio. have time to at least get put one or two out, but we got to see if it unzips or not.

[00:04:01]All right. All right. So, we're heading down heading down uh Highway 30 uh from Columbus, Nebraska.

[00:04:26]That's That's an awesome gimple.

[00:04:29]Boy, that's going to be tough to >> That's a challenge. That's a challenge.

[00:04:34]Get the greatest shot today.

[00:04:36]>> What if I get the greatest behind?

[00:04:38]>> We're going to get the greatest shot today.

[00:04:39]>> That supercell and it's moved four about four miles in the last 20 minutes. So, that cell has roughly an hour.

[00:04:47]>> I think I think it'll probably do it.

[00:04:50]I mean, that's all you really need, but it's all you have right now. So, very nice look to the base. Jen, you should probably be getting a view of it soon. It looks like you're not that far behind me.

[00:05:07]>> I can see it way off in the distance. I can't see a lot of feature, but it's there.

[00:05:14]just uh with with how close in proximity this storm is to the pretty much center of the low is what's getting me to get it because I just just have a feeling about this one here.

[00:05:25]>> All right, man. It looks good.

[00:05:28]>> Yeah, >> that's sick. I'm probably going to go and give it a glance, maybe um at a slight distance until I see something down. Um and uh try and give things a little bit further southeast a chance to develop without getting too far caught up here.

[00:05:45]I do believe it's going uh south of Grand Island over 80. It's getting better on reflectivity, too. That's definitely a storm I would I would go for if if it can happen cuz it's even just that much further east. I'll take it. He's about to say the same thing, Jaden.

[00:06:02]>> Yeah. What do you think indeed?

[00:06:04]>> Getting a nice area of convers.

[00:06:09]>> I don't know which one you're taking down. Where's I'm going down to like St. Liberty or whatever and then to that highway that you can take to Howard City.

[00:06:20]>> I think we're taking the South Roads.

[00:06:23]Good point.

[00:06:26]set back.

[00:06:30]>> No, never mind. We are going south towards St. Liberty as well.

[00:06:34]>> Oh, man.

[00:06:37]>> Cool. Yeah, it's starting to look nice.

[00:06:38]I can see more of it now.

[00:06:41]>> Yeah. Okay, I'll take it.

[00:06:43]>> I guess I can hold it.

[00:06:47]>> Oh, wait. I wouldn't set this down.

[00:06:49]>> Okay. Here. Pass your direction. Pass me here.

[00:06:56]Is this giving you trouble? No, no, no.

[00:06:59]>> It definitely looks good and I definitely like it. I just Man, I'm like concerned about that cold front.

[00:07:05]>> Yeah, that crashing cold might produce.

[00:07:07]It's going to do it once and then it's going to be undercut and it's just uh looking at satellite, I'm not convinced that there's going to be anything else to chase. So, I'm just going to send it over there and see if it does it for me.

[00:07:18]And if it doesn't, I'll start running back east just in case.

[00:07:24]That's where I'm seeing anything trying to go further east. I don't know if there is anything.

[00:07:30]>> Call you need to put your cell regardless.

[00:07:41]>> I have no thoughts on Omaha tonight.

[00:07:43]Probably get some wind and hail. That's all I know. But tornado threats could be >> according to maps like 5 minutes away from Grand Island as it is. Oh, >> going out here tonight.

[00:07:54]>> Right there.

[00:07:56]>> Person has a question.

[00:07:58]>> Hey Barry, >> Jake will be cool if we get >> Thanks for joining by the way.

[00:08:03]>> Get your reaction if you clamp your phone to like the back almost like lift up my >> I definitely like the blip coming out ahead of it though.

[00:08:13]>> If you can that rubber band work.

[00:08:18]>> Yeah, it actually does work. Perfect.

[00:08:22]You got your shot.

[00:08:23]>> Boom. Bada bang. Now we get reactions.

[00:08:26]Barry's on USA tornado.

[00:08:28]>> He's going to get his reaction from this one.

[00:08:31]>> They're all cut. So we see like the emotion, you know.

[00:08:35]>> I see.

[00:08:35]>> Of the tornado.

[00:08:39]>> Well, you can definitely see it from here.

[00:08:40]>> Oh, I'm not saying that's a great angle, too.

[00:08:42]>> That sad face is a great angle.

[00:08:45]>> Whoa.

[00:08:46]>> Hey, thank you. I'll take that.

[00:08:49]>> On the seat.

[00:08:51]Oh, okay. Yeah, that's >> Never heard that before, have you?

[00:08:55]>> I think I was talking about earlier.

[00:08:57]Yes.

[00:08:58]>> Yep.

[00:08:59]>> Yeah. How about that?

[00:09:00]>> Definitely try it again.

[00:09:04]>> I'll be ready to blast back there in a hurry, but man, this base is looking good.

[00:09:14]>> Are you uh Brandon and Freddy, are you guys still on this 80 South?

[00:09:18]Yeah, there's nice overshooting top on the storm too on satellite.

[00:09:26]>> Looks like you're uh might be connected to your dry line.

[00:09:38]>> Where's Jordan Hall? There he is.

[00:09:41]Where'd you go, boys?

[00:09:47]Uh, here's Silver City.

[00:09:52]>> Might be one of the smoothest gravel roads I've ever been on. This thing's like butter.

[00:10:02]>> Yeah, there's some fairly smooth ones here. There's a lot of sand in in some of these roads, too. They can get a little bit hairy once they get wet.

[00:10:09]>> Have a hilarious viral uh moment. I think I think I'm gonna put a put on the headphones right before we we taste like tornado >> and then like cut to the music while I'm like filming.

[00:10:30]>> I have to con Yeah, I just looked at spotter dots, saw all the green dots. I was like, "Holy Spir uh since you have access to that, are they all flooding cell or are they elsewhere?" Hopefully.

[00:10:55]>> Yeah, there everybody in their bomb is heading to that storm right now.

[00:11:03]>> I'm practically the only one over here.

[00:11:06]um happened.

[00:11:13]>> Oh, don't worry. They're coming right behind us in this dirt road.

[00:11:21]>> I'm I'm sure that it looks like you should be pretty close to Freddy right now.

[00:11:32]Actually, Ben Garrett, he's still over here.

[00:11:50]Uh, what car are y'all in? I can't remember what I'm actually car what color it is. I'm at the very back of this cond line here. Great. Is there already traffic?

[00:12:04]Oh, Christina and Calie, thank you so much for the donation. Glad you're here again.

[00:12:10]>> Rotation on it.

[00:12:11]>> We're here uh just past Silver Creek, Nebraska. Silver Creek, Nebraska, heading southwest to the severe warn storm out to our west.

[00:12:23]Southwest Jordan, have you dropped dropped south yet?

[00:12:45]>> Copy that. Can you see the cell off to your the the main cell that's severe warned? How does that look?

[00:12:55]>> I see it over there. I don't see it visually, but I'm not far from it either. I'm kind of hedging.

[00:13:01]>> Copy that. I just wanted to know what the overshoot had overshoot or what it looked like from the top on it.

[00:13:09]>> Yeah, it's like a vista. I can't I can't see the overshooting top unless I was behind it.

[00:13:15]>> Copy. This cell near central uh or Grand Island, it's struggling. It's still there, but it's not it's it's struggling. It's definitely high base at the moment.

[00:13:29]>> Yeah, there's something making them struggle over there cuz like I said, there was an initial one southwest central city that Jordan on satellite that I watched like rocket visually and then uh just out of out of the blue it just it shriveled and died.

[00:13:46]They're ahead of the dry line. There's really nothing to focus it on. So, there'll be more like a warm air infection. So, they if they do pop, it's probably going to take them a minute to completely start this base.

[00:13:56]Copy that guys. Thank you.

[00:14:03]>> So a solid is is starting to initiate due west at Hastings. Hastings.

[00:14:08]>> Oh crap.

[00:14:14]>> Oh, I see it. Yeah. Near Kennesaw.

[00:14:20]What's that?

[00:15:02]It is. Yeah. one of the the severe warning storm looks really nice and tall.

[00:15:07]Um, >> oh, that's what that is.

[00:15:19]>> What?

[00:15:19]>> I was like, what is that?

[00:15:22]>> It's a vibe.

[00:15:27]When you have minimal cut away metal in your car, probably got 30 minutes.

[00:15:43]>> Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I think once it finishes that merger, we're in business. You're going to make it down just in time, Jordan.

[00:15:52]>> Just in time for the cold front start to wipe it out cuz it's not slowing down.

[00:15:56]No, like I said, it's going to be a one and done. It's like cold front will hit it, probably produces, and then they'll find another storm.

[00:16:06]>> Keep the cold front's name out your mouth.

[00:16:37]It's got a pretty good gun on it right now. It's not doesn't have the rapid motion it had earlier. Had some good but uh good rising motion, a little bit of Scud. It's a little bit stagnant right now, but it's in taking those. I was going to say I probably have to wait for the chargers.

[00:17:03]It looks like the dry line's slightly ahead of the cells almost just based off the Blue Hill radar, the KUX1.

[00:17:14]>> Yeah, I was going to point that out too, Scott. My I wonder though after this merge if it'll be able to just kind of pull it out a little bit.

[00:17:23]>> Yeah.

[00:17:25]I I I I a little worried about that that the one that uh Brandon just pointed out uh the one west of Hastings. That might I mean not that it's going to be far away from the other stuff, but that might be the one that takes over. It's ahead of the dry line right now.

[00:17:41]>> Oh yeah. Over Jen Shaw or whatever.

[00:17:43]>> Jaw. Yeah.

[00:17:48]Yeah, like I said, nothing to worry about.

[00:17:57]It's like right It's probably like 25 miles away from the uh severe warn cell, so whatever.

[00:18:04]>> Oh, yeah. The good thing is we're all north of it, so easy easy to drop down on it.

[00:18:15]Oh yeah. Along with the the other billion stormchasers, right?

[00:18:21]Yeah.

[00:18:51]Heat. Heat.

[00:19:09]Heat.

[00:19:30]Heat.

[00:19:34]Heat.

[00:19:47]Heat.

[00:20:21]I'll have a visual up and paste.

[00:20:32]Looks like the southern one's trying to take over.

[00:20:39]Yeah, that's good. I'm giving a little bit more.

[00:20:47]Agree.

[00:20:49]Where you at, Connor?

[00:20:53]north the uh northwest of central city.

[00:20:57]>> Okay, I see you now.

[00:21:08]Looks like we got the new base developing here on the east side.

[00:21:17]Jaden, it looks like it's trying to pull the dry line back in.

[00:21:41]I need to be careful about the air conditioning, you know. Don't you know? E Heat. Heat.

[00:22:39]Dang, this is a long train. Oh, look.

[00:22:41]They even have an engine in the middle.

[00:22:44]>> Wow.

[00:22:45]>> That's crazy. That's how Dang, this is a very long train.

[00:22:50]You usually don't see where they >> put in the middle like that.

[00:22:54]>> So, I'm pleased.

[00:22:58]>> That's a That means it's a very long trip.

[00:23:00]>> Yeah. Yeah. But definitely it's going to be down by Cairo now.

[00:23:06]>> Wow.

[00:23:14]it's getting to that new convergence has really increased there.

[00:23:19]>> Yeah. Connor, how's how's it look visually?

[00:23:34]Uh I had Milwaukee turned down, but just heads up the base is widening and CG's are really picking up. Get a nice area of uh convergence on radar.

[00:23:46]Copy that. Thanks for the update. Yeah, I didn't know if uh if there's a wall cloud on or anything else or just a flat base.

[00:24:01]Yep, RFD is wrapping around pretty good down here in the south side of the >> copy that. Thanks for the update, guys.

[00:24:11]Really appreciate it.

[00:24:14]>> Warning tornado warning.

[00:24:18]>> Just tornado warned it. Nice. All right, we need to lock in. Okay.

[00:24:23]Heat. Heat.

[00:24:58]That's cool. Look at those trains.

[00:25:01]>> Yeah, I say that's hauling cars right there.

[00:25:25]Wow.

[00:25:51]It's really trying.

[00:25:54]>> That looks great.

[00:25:55]>> We need to get there.

[00:26:03]What's that shaking back there? what that is. Sorry.

[00:26:17]Awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That was driving me nuts.

[00:26:22]I'm going to do a funny bit. We're not wear headphones.

[00:26:26]All right. Do your thing. I'm locked in.

[00:26:28]So, all right. We can see the base of the storm now right in front of us.

[00:26:38]Okay, I got a visual of the base now.

[00:26:40]Beautiful wall cloud on it. Lowering, I guess, more anything else. And nice inflow bands streaming right in.

[00:26:50]Starting to get some rain bands wrapping in the RFD here.

[00:26:55]Got to say the RFD is a little bit wet.

[00:26:57]It's probably going to get wetter here.

[00:27:23]Appreciate you guys for the update.

[00:27:41]There it is. There's the base.

[00:27:45]Oh yeah.

[00:27:49]The sun's in a perfect right up underneath this entire thing here. Um south on the road to Cario. Beautiful info bands. Great lighting, too, man.

[00:28:04]>> That's our tornado warn storm.

[00:28:07]>> Copy that.

[00:28:17]>> Tornado warning.

[00:28:30]Tornado warning. Central City is my location.

[00:28:41]There's your wall cloud.

[00:28:44]They're lowering in the middle of the stream.

[00:28:50]Crazy.

[00:28:59]All right, Justin.

[00:29:00]>> There we go. I was trying to get the I was trying to get the update.

[00:29:06]>> He wasn't moving in his arms. I was like, come on. I'm He's so oblivious.

[00:29:15]>> Oh, that's funny.

[00:29:23]All right, we're going to zoom back out.

[00:29:25]We're going to be underneath this thing here shortly. You can see the info bands.

[00:29:34]We're over the road.

[00:29:41]Watch out, guys. I got to do a fast turn to the airport.

[00:30:01]Everyone good?

[00:30:02]>> Y.

[00:30:04]>> All right.

[00:30:07]Storm's right in front of us. We'll get a We'll >> rain is wrapping around the RFD pretty good now.

[00:30:11]>> I will get a visual of the wall cloud here in just a second. Right now looks like it could be starting to try to search a little bit here.

[00:30:27]We'll bleed into the stream just a little bit. Try to >> What a sick, >> right? No, this up.

[00:30:46]22.

[00:30:51]Oops.

[00:31:06]Those you underneath it. That's a How's the rotation looking?

[00:31:11]It's uh still broad, but it is increasing notably.

[00:31:23]Start by an old man.

[00:32:16]Start somewhere.

[00:32:18]Turn somewhere. Come on.

[00:32:20]>> The lobster just looks like nothing right now.

[00:32:46]like it was the wall cloud confirmed.

[00:32:53]>> Oo, there it is.

[00:33:18]Yeah, I think Connor's prophecy is coming true. It's going to be a one hit wonder.

[00:33:37]getting smacked by that RMD now.

[00:33:45]>> Hey there in the UK. Thanks for joining.

[00:33:48]>> Okay. Very strong. Very strong.

[00:34:03]There you go.

[00:34:04]There you go. Sorry.

[00:34:24]That was unintentional that time.

[00:34:29]>> I'm majoring deeper now.

[00:34:47]Heat.

[00:35:07]Heat.

[00:35:36]All right, getting closer.

[00:36:02]It's not imminent yet, guys, but it looks like it might be about to try to be.

[00:36:10]Yeah. Big big load of grain wrap around it.

[00:36:15]That's right.

[00:36:48]We're going to go on a we're going to go on dirt road here just Yeah.

[00:37:13]Heat.

[00:37:40]Lots of CGs going right through the base. It's beautiful.

[00:37:48]Just scroll by now counter lost visual if you want to keep me updated.

[00:37:54]It's definitely starting to carve out the base here.

[00:38:47]project.

[00:38:50]>> Yeah, that's they do balloon launches ahead of the stor uh storm as well.

[00:38:54]They're private though. They're not >> not >> they're not a re they're not a >> they might be an organization but they're not government like the weather service like the uh National Severe Storms Laboratory the one with the weather instruments on top >> there's there's three of those >> and it's a cell vehicles the weather stations on them that go get close to tornadoes >> but they're are different they're they are not a government organization cuz NSSL is the OUS University of Oklahoma.

[00:39:26]So, do they have one of the best meteorology programs like that at Oklahoma?

[00:39:29]>> They do. Yep.

[00:39:31]>> In the world.

[00:39:32]>> In the world.

[00:39:33]>> Yeah.

[00:39:35]>> It's like the top tier for 20 to research. Yeah. There's Penn State.

[00:39:38]There's Texas A&M. Um, >> uh, forgetting someone.

[00:39:47]Penn State, Texas&M.

[00:39:53]I'll let you know the other ones later.

[00:39:55]I just can't think of the moment.

[00:39:58]Penn State's another one though.

[00:39:59]>> They're up there.

[00:40:00]>> Yeah.

[00:40:02]Oh, here's my dirt road. Oh, it's closed. That's fine. I'll just go straight.

[00:40:10]All right, we're going to go to dirt road like I talked about.

[00:40:14]Look at all those stormchasers up there.

[00:40:19]>> It's 100% about to do its first try, guys. really wrapping around.

[00:40:25]>> Is it a pretty rain wrapped rig or should I maybe be able to see it from the south if I need to? I I can see a little bit of feature, but I don't know if it's tucked in there.

[00:40:35]>> Shouldn't be rain wrapped. It's pretty clear to the north here.

[00:40:39]>> Yeah, there's rain bands in there, but you can see through them.

[00:40:43]>> Oh, yeah. Huge cut.

[00:40:47]Screwed by this road network.

[00:40:51]might have a cone coming down.

[00:40:54]>> Can you grab my video camera for me?

[00:40:56]>> Yeah, camera going up.

[00:41:09]>> Thank you, CR. Yep.

[00:41:22]Let me know if you see something coming down.

[00:41:24]>> It will be surreal. It'll look like a cone or something. It'll it'll it'll you'll you'll know.

[00:41:30]>> We'll be able to know.

[00:41:31]>> Yeah. If it starts reaching down to the ground, especially under that lowest part where the rain bands are in the middle of that wall cloud, that's where you Yeah. Dang. It's This road sucks a little bit.

[00:41:43]It is slightly wet. That's why me. Is the cone still there? Is it dissipated?

[00:41:52]I feel like I'm con seeing it on a bad angle.

[00:42:31]Whoa, that's a nice uh Are you seeing anything?

[00:42:44]No, I just tried asking Rigby. I just got a better angle. I don't see a cone yet. Uh but Briggs Briggsby has a better angle than I do.

[00:42:54]>> It uh dissipated for the time being, but it was definitely a full funnel that was trying to be a commuter.

[00:43:05]>> Copy that. Thank you.

[00:43:10]And the cold front is impacting. No.

[00:43:12]>> Oh no.

[00:43:14]>> They reported a tornado on that. So there's only 5,000 chasers here. So I wonder what they saw.

[00:43:22]>> Coldr tornado. I can promise you that.

[00:43:28]>> What I can also promise you is it looked like the cold front just hit it.

[00:43:52]Basically, it doesn't look like much at the moment.

[00:43:57]Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

[00:44:02]Front just hit it. I think it's toast.

[00:44:06]Yeah, it it rapidly just lost all of its form visually.

[00:44:15]Very bizarre cuz it's almost like it's still on the dry line. It's very very bizarre orientation of the whole thing.

[00:44:22]But yeah, visually uh it it looks a lot colder at this moment. Yeah, that's fair.

[00:44:43]That cold front just screwed us over.

[00:44:51]Maybe we'll see.

[00:45:21]Hey, aren't you banned from drinking water on a chase?

[00:45:24]>> Oh, yeah. If I f though, I thought it was. Yeah, you're still banned from drinking any kind of liquid during the [ __ ] >> I remember.

[00:45:31]>> Yeah, cuz there ain't no stopping.

[00:45:38]>> That was funny.

[00:45:39]>> Yeah, I was going to say, wait a minute.

[00:45:43]What's the word they uh they use for uh um politicians when they're banned from Oh, you're sanctioned from drinking water. Yeah, you've been sanctioned.

[00:45:52]>> Yeah. Wow.

[00:45:53]>> Yeah. Is that the word? Is that another word for for man?

[00:45:56]>> I think that works.

[00:45:58]>> Yes.

[00:45:58]>> Yeah, you're sanctioned.

[00:46:01]>> Barry, could you imagine a podcast during a tornado chase?

[00:46:04]>> That would actually be rude for 45.

[00:46:06]>> You'd be rooting for us.

[00:46:11]>> Full mic setup. Like >> I think you could definitely I know, right? It would be interesting to do that for you guys' company and like do like famous people.

[00:46:25]>> Oh, that would be interesting.

[00:46:26]>> And like just have all the cameras on them and the reactions in the store.

[00:46:31]>> I've talked about that with people before about doing bringing out famous people. I don't know how many people would actually want to do it.

[00:46:37]>> It would have to be a a group of famous people.

[00:46:39]>> I'm going to I'm going to have to start sending some email again.

[00:46:46]>> Yeah. Uh I'm east. I got a nice wide view. It lost a lot of what I had.

[00:46:53]>> Yeah, there's still this like oluded mezo with rain currents wrapping around it. Uh it occasionally has scutty fingers, but nothing uh extremely rap.

[00:47:02]>> We have to get nicer hotels though.

[00:47:05]>> You would right.

[00:47:08]>> It does look like it's trying to wrap around again though here. Uh it's not super organized, but it's it's it's pulling it's pulling it all the way around. It's probably going to try again here soon.

[00:47:19]>> Has a surprisingly healthy coat on it right now. Again, >> our our our last clients were telling Scott he should do uh what are the the off-road racing?

[00:47:34]>> Rally driving.

[00:47:35]>> Yeah. H >> you look like a good rally driver.

[00:47:38]>> Oh yeah, >> I know how to cut my corners.

[00:47:46]Yeah, it looks like the south end of the wall cloud uh does have moderate rotation now. It does look organized.

[00:47:59]>> Be be ready for just mass chaser chaos.

[00:48:02]This has just been wild over here.

[00:48:06]>> Yeah, there's a suspicious cone looking feature trying to come down now.

[00:48:12]Oh. Oh, what's that? What's coming down?

[00:48:15]What is that?

[00:48:19]You see it? That cone over the barn? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Looks like we have some type of cone feature coming down. It's only halfway. It's not fast rotation, but it looks suspicious.

[00:48:42]That was close. I thought that was going to come down. It's still there, but it's lifted.

[00:48:49]Okay, looks like that cone feature has dissipated, but that was pretty suspicious. Got some moderate rotation still on the front end of that wall cloud wrapping in nicely.

[00:49:22]Beautiful wall cloud. It's very low to the ground.

[00:49:48]>> Yeah.

[00:49:52]I just don't know if he's going to do it.

[00:50:16]It's getting north of us now.

[00:50:19]Might have to turn around.

[00:50:25]>> Oh, it's getting low.

[00:50:26]>> Yeah, it's low.

[00:50:29]I mean, that's a feature.

[00:50:33]That's it. That's the area you want to be right at.

[00:50:46]I don't know if that stop sign's for me or for miles.

[00:50:57]Still got strong rotation. Rap. It's rapid rotation underneath the wall cloud. It's drifting north.

[00:51:19]Barry, you got your iPhone set up too, right? I can. That would be sick of you.

[00:51:25]Do you want the angle? I'll take the angle.

[00:51:47]Uh, Scott, what are you seeing? I'm still I'm still trying to work work my way through the RFD here. Just can't get around people, so I still have no visual.

[00:51:56]>> Copy. I am uh about 9 miles north of Grand Rapid. I'm sorry. Uh Grand Island and uh uh the wall cuts uh starting to increase in speed rotation. It's drifting due north. Uh looks like it's going to try and do it here. Well, we've been saying that for a while, but it's it's most organized I've seen in a while.

[00:52:28]How fast is this moving?

[00:52:34]Well, it's drifting north uh at like like 20 mph. The wall flood's definitely accelerated and it's uh you're definitely getting an increase in uh rotation. It's actually you've got strong rotation though. There might be a tornado imminent, guys. I do see dust getting kicked up underneath it.

[00:52:57]Guys, we might have a tornado here in just a moment.

[00:53:19]>> Yeah, it's making ground contact, guys.

[00:53:21]Tornado. Tornado.

[00:53:32]Dang it.

[01:38:35]We're going to miss everything." And of course, we come down this sketchy dirt road right here. It was like just two ruts in the center that we kept bumping up on, you know, under the bottoming a little bit. And then we got right here and the twins come right over them. Show me your video. It's It's wild.

[02:25:40]stuff. It's pretty wild.

[02:25:45]There piece of wood everywhere.

[02:26:00]>> More tornadoes forming there.

[02:26:03]>> Nope. that cold front. It bumped into the storm to produce a tornado and now >> trying to get up the hill which I did.

[02:26:39]>> See that's a cold front that wind.

[02:26:41]>> Yeah tornado. That's what I was worried about. I was afraid that coldront was kill but actually helped it produce a tornado before it killed it. So Ashley bumped into it.

[02:27:05]>> Those cars, dude.

[02:27:05]>> You see that pickup that's closest to us, but the one >> So how do you know? No, throw your car like like that's if you're in it or if it's you have >> ors usually throw cars >> determine I can't that's my analysis. Um that's my personal analysis judging from but I don't know how strong these houses were.

[02:27:26]>> That's that's the question of how wellb built these houses actually were.

[02:27:31]guesstimate it was a weak EF4. It >> was a weak EF4. Okay. Wow.

[02:27:34]>> Yeah. But it threw that pickup truck. Uh the black pickup truck, not the vehicle that that's uh closest to, but the other one. It it threw it.

[02:27:42]>> So, were you at all scare when you were mounting the camera outside the car?

[02:27:45]Like, >> no. I was like I was like, I should have done that earlier. That's what I was thinking.

[02:27:51]>> That's what I was thinking at the at the at the moment.

[02:27:53]>> Dude, we were thinking like, dude, that thing's getting close to us, man. Like, holy crap.

[02:27:56]>> Oh, yeah.

[02:27:57]>> You could hear it.

[02:27:58]>> Yeah. And then I was thinking you roll your window down and roll it back up and I was going about I was about to kill you. Yeah. Wow.

[02:28:03]>> Oh yeah. All the camera. This one's the only one that wasn't recording. But that's fine.

[02:28:07]>> The one on the roof was >> We had that angle, too, so we had all covered.

[02:28:11]>> Holy crap.

[02:28:12]>> Yeah, >> dude. I was wearing my stupid headphones, too.

[02:28:16]>> What were you doing?

[02:28:18]>> You were not locked in.

[02:28:20]>> Unless you were It was audio for your camera.

[02:28:22]>> I know.

[02:28:23]>> Was it audio from your camera?

[02:28:24]>> No. I thought it was going to be a pretty tornado. I'm doing.

[02:28:27]>> No, none of them are pretty when I get close.

[02:28:31]>> Yeah. I was like, "What are you wearing your headphones for?"

[02:28:34]>> Yeah.

[02:28:34]>> That's funny.

[02:28:35]>> Yeah. Nuh-uh.

[02:28:46]>> All angles, baby.

[02:28:49]>> And then I'll throw the throat vehicles.

[02:29:04]It threw both those vehicles um cuz they were sitting on the uh pavement on the one of them was uh thrown about a football field away uh from the house.

[02:29:26]But we did, just to let everybody know, we're safe. The tornado came right at us. If you watch the stream earlier, uh the tornado was coming right at us. Um we got out of the way and just in time and it start blew up these houses. We got crazy video of it. And then we uh went back to the houses and started doing search and rescue immediately after the uh tornado hit. And uh we found it a couple people in their basement. They were un but they were stuck. So we had the thing um talked while they were in the basement cleared debris out of the way so that the first responders could get in there and um get all their stuff out or get the help people get get out of their their houses. Um, but everyone's accounted for everyone's accounted for no injuries.

[02:30:21]So, which is a blessing. I'm going to roll this down for just a minute cuz this is getting warm.

[02:30:27]>> Um, at least it says it's getting warm. But um Colorado has been spitting out land spouts.

[02:30:58]Oh, that's just what I wanted to hear.

[02:31:01]>> Great land spout fest out in Colorado.

[02:31:06]>> Yeah, I >> from that storm.

[02:31:09]>> I don't know about going over there probably. I would obviously now looking back, I would have been better off to just stay or go back over there. I had thought about it, but >> we were a little late, but I mean we we actually >> we actually >> we actually got in position. Sure. Oh, gotcha.

[02:31:29]>> Yeah.

[02:31:32]>> Tornado warning. That thing wrapped up.
