Incredible footage. I guess that you filmed this from right over on the South West edge of the city almost by the lakes. It's very unique and clear film of it's final phase as it roped out.
Great video of an unforgettable tragedy. It's refreshing to have a tornado where a hysterical person is not bleating OMG! every 3 seconds. God is not listening.
I've watched a lot of the videos of the Moore tornado and other tornadoes and I have never seen a tornado rope out. It was very interesting. And I'm sure it was a great relief for the residents of Moore. Most chasers watch the storms and call the beginning of a tornado the "birth" of the tornado I'm wondering if they use the term the"death" of the tornado when it ropes out?
Good footage. The clouds right above the guy looked more menacing than the others. I’m a trained spotter and hobby chaser. I wish that old wives tale “Tornadoes sound like freight trains” would cease. They absolutely don’t. They sound like what they are; huge, powerful wind tunnels. The big ones roar.
I'm late to the party but great job!! Thanks for sharing. I see so many novice tornado videos when they are close enough to have a hard time escaping if it abruptly changes direction. Especially if it also suddenly became rain wrapped. Just curious if most of these people have a "oh crap" plan such as a shelter nearby.
This tornado was incredibly loud, to say the least, even from considerable distances you can clearly hear the tornado's roar. Tuscaloosa and 91 Andover KS are other examples of twisters producing a deafening roar.
They all do, but there is no doubt that when a violent tornado travels through residential neighbourhoods, the sound is even more obvious and unforgetable. FWIW, I know an extremely experienced storm chaser & highly educated severe weather researcher who has witnessed many F-4/F-5/EF-4/EF-5 tornadoes. He told me that this tornado was the ugliest-sounding tornado he had ever heard. He found both the view of the tornado obliterating parts of Moore & its sound to be very disturbing, rather than awe-inspiring.
@@derekbaker3279 It was a very ugly-sounding twister indeed and from a distance it almost looks like a smoke cloud. I cannot even imagine what one of these things sound like up close.
@@derekbaker3279 Another really ugly-sounding tornado was the Jarrell twister. Not too surprising considering how violent it was, but in the small amount of footage that exists of the Jarrell tornado up close, it does not sound like a freight train. It sounds like a continuous amount of TNT and other high-caliber explosives detonating non-stop.
Yea the 99 one had the craziest wind turbine sound One video a guy set the camera down to hide and you can't see it well but you can hear it better than professional footage, has a waterfall like sound mixed with a turbine
Crazy how quiet it got when it roped out even from a good distance away it’s like the wind just stopped to give us some peace after what it had just done.. I was hunkered down a mile away from this thing and wish I could have seen it but I was stuffed into a school bathroom. I got lucky.
This is the first video of a tornado that I could actually here it without rain, hail, rfd winds or siren's.. It is so far away and we can really hear it.. Great catch! Thank goodness you were safe! 🤗
I live in Oregon but I've watched several videos of the tornado that hit moor and all I can say is I hope to God that all u filming that monster survived.
The tornado had been on the ground for some time. The sirens had sounded multiple times at this point. I'm guessing the people who push the button were in their shelter.
Sirens NEVER blare constantly, they will burn up. They come on for a bit, off for a bit. There are plenty of videos on youtube where siren freaks identify make and model just by the sound, and there are plenty of facts about how sirens operate if you really want to know. Also, this tornado first touched down miles from Moore, and not only was it visible to the human eye for miles, its approach was saturation covered by the radio and tv.

"At least it's not rain-wrapped" is the only positive thing I've ever heard someone say about this tornado... and I agree. I sincerely hope the survivors that have had to move on with their lives have found peace. Especially those that lost loved ones. 🧡
This. Watching chaser videos of other tornadoes, it kills me to so unfortunately often see other drivers on the highway unaware of the deadly danger driving blithely right into a rain-wrapped tornado.
Hello JevVan72, is it possible to contact you regarding this video (i.e. via email)? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible to discuss? :) Cheers, Felix
