that thing was 2 and a half miles wide, he gets out and is like "where is it, i cant see it" like i dont think it hit him yet that it was thet massive cloud behinf him

I don’t have any remorse. It’s like the people who get stuck in Mt. Everest and die. They knew the risk, they took it and they paid.

All of you zoomers and gen alpha kids coming in here acting like you know better than Dan and the Twistex team that were behind him on that same road (and are now dead thanks to exactly what he is escaping from in this video) need to do your damn research first before talking crap to him. Like really, read the links in this video's description where Dan answers common questions and also explains what happened that day, and then go look this storm up and watch the case study videos here on UA-cam, specifically the ones created by Convective Chronicles and Skip Talbot. You have no business making any sort of comment about Dan or Twistex being on Reuter at that point in time until you understand exactly what happened here. OH AND. Since so many of you are so smart and love pointing out that this is an EF3 tornado not an EF5, you might like to know that when he posted this video the tornado was rated EF5 and was later downgraded due to its mostly rural path and therefore lack of damage indicators to hold up an EF5 rating. However, you might also like to know that this tornado had sub-vortices that were clocked at ~300mph wind speeds comparable to the 1999 Moore F5's speeds that remain the highest ever recorded. One such sub-vortex is responsible for the Twistex team's end. Their vehicle was previously recorded in Dan's rear camera footage but he has removed it out of respect for and by request of the families. These chasers were not trying to make a direct intercept. This was not thrill seeking. Dan is a photographer and Twistex were storm researchers who were looking to deploy their equipment to measure the tornado's strength (yes, just like in the Twister movie). Twistex were well known for years for being cautious and making the safe plays. This tornado was an anomaly and like nothing they'd ever seen before. Do not insult these men as if you somehow know better. You don't. That's why you need to RESEARCH. P.S.: To all that wanna complain about him running stop signs while literally within TORNADIC CIRCULATION where if he stopped he would have died, I think you might want to look into becoming a professional clown as a career. :)

It's a miracle that he didn't die. Other chasers died as a result of their chase of this tornado. Even it was officially rated an EF3, it was deadly and terrifying. It was nearly 3 miles wide and hidden in heavy rain. A reminder of how powerful mother nature is and can be. Way more powerful than we mortal humans are.

great video but the tornado was EF3 an not EF5

Just endless ridiculously bad decisions with these people.

the beauty of living in the village, full of calm and peace

Cap'n dumb dumb in his tornado t-shirt...

For any weather enthusiasts that are also gamers on here, mix the Halo 1 “final run” theme with this video! It’s epic! I’m sure someone will claim I’m making light of the close call in the video, and I will have to laugh at that claim!……Your luck and driving skill was unprecedented while being in the severe weather and outer perimeter of a behemoth sized tornado! Extraordinary!

Why they do not use winter tyres? I can't understand.

Good night 🌉

You must be absolutely crazy to intercept such monster… good driving though!

See this is one of my biggest fears: getting stuck in the middle of the country with a deadly tornado chasing you down with heavy heavy rain

A tornado will only reveal its secrets for a price.

This is some awesome footage.

You sir, outran a dead man walking

Still, in real life, when you're close to a tornado, it's like being under a 747 that's 20 feet above you about to land. You can't hear yourself yell. Anti does sound more like 10 locomotives. I've never heard any tornado videos sound at all like it does in real life. I'm sorry but...including this one.

A majority of lightning strikes to people are survivable, but a direct hit from a positive CG is almost invariably fatal. If you hear thunder like this and you're outside, get indoors quick, or in a vehicle.

You had luck on your side that day

Hey, Dan. I wonder if you've filmed anymore big lightning since this was released, and if so, could you please include the thunder? Many of these shots don't include that, and for those who can't see the video, it's the thunder we're waiting for. It tells how close the lightning is. Thank you so much. Also, I know that there's distant lightning, too, and that constant wind during that one storm was amazing! Keep up the great work.

I have to ask, why did you go east as an escape route? If you are alongside it, surely northwest, or simply staying put since iit is alongside you, would have been easier?

As a pilot I just want to complement your handling of the crosswind. At some points you were driving horizontally on the road.

I was actually at my 2nd job just off of I-55 at Butler Hill at the time of this and my boss actually saw the thing. She had us take cover quickly upon seeing it. Luckily it was far enough away that we were fine, though that didn’t stop the incoming hail and heavy rain. Scary, but what added to it was learning it also hit Columbia IL, which is where I reside now, but again luckily nothing in my town was hit. For me, this is actually the second close call with a tornado. The one in this video was an EF1 tornado. But… Back in 2011, about six weeks before I graduated high school, there was an EF4 tornado that went through Maryland Heights, and it went directly through the subdivision I lived in at the time, it missed me by about half of a street, and that one I heard loud and clear while taking cover. So that marks two narrow escapes in Tornado Alley.

4 minutes in and it hasn't touched the ground yet!

Don't think I'm moving to Oklahoma.

This event has kept me in its grips since day 1. I have other tornados that I admire and resepct but this one caused me and still causes me fear. I am not a believer in paranormal things, but gosh, this tornado just felt evil.. The vibe I get is "When the Hunter becomes The Hunted". It was just so relentless in its pursuit of the very people who respect it the most, and want nothing more than to see it, to understand it, and to share it. But it was having none of that. I suppose IRL, this 'relentless pursuit' was not a demon tornado, but morso expert using their past knowledge to make what woul normally be good/logical/safe decisions, except this tornado was nowhere near avreage in any metric.

THAT'S A MINI HURRICANE

Thank you. Fantastic, clear video.

Awesome

El Reno means The Reno

He truly needed some rainx on that windshields

4:48 anyone happy that the miata was being a good example?

Around 4 minutes you see the outer layers of the storm creeping into frame from the south side and my heart sank thinking about Twistex and the sheer panic I know they were in! Rip Tim, Paul, Carl and Richard🙏

When he stopped,it looked as if it was chasing him.

More reasons to stay home in icy conditions..

Did you take a direct hit from the RFD while outside of your vehicle, that is so scary!!!

amazing!

Of course it was a swift driver! 😂😂😂

You ran a stop sign at 5:15 :/

Are the titan shifters transforming?

This is the scariest video ive ever seen

Wonder what that car looked like afterwards

I can’t believe it’s been 11 years since this happened.

@5:13 he blew that stop sign. Cops should use the film to charge him.

Hyundai? Yes, Hyundai.

Great video!! 🙌🙌

For those of you not near these events: they come in with some much damn hail and rain it's unreal. Storm/clout chasers stay on the outside and get pics for the newschannels or nowadays their social media. I kinda feel like NOAA/NWS should probably start forcing them to get licenses and proper vehicles for this crap and drastically reduce the rest of them down.

This tornado looks like something you'd see on an alien planet

A few nice recoveries , you cant panic , but its can be scary , you loose control and hope 😮

That’s the city for you
