5-26-2024 - TWO TORNADOES HIT AT THE SAME TIME! FUNNEL CLOUD DEVELOPS ON VIDEO! DAMAGE SHOWN! 

Here's a link to a video of the tornado developing, I enhanced the brightness in this video to make it easier to see. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rovt_7oo6gM.html

This video gave me chills. I just finished surviving the tornado in Rogers, Arkansas that tore down gorgeous, old trees resulting in roads being blocked all through town. NWS said there were numerous tornadoes which struck in the early morning hours of 5/26/24: 1 in Rogers, 1 in Decatur, 2 by the lake, and multiple other tornadoes around Benton County. Power outages were widespread as we sweltered in the heat with no air conditioning. Sitting there in my inside room in total darkness, knowing I could be dead at any instant was traumatising. One of my cats is still crying out in his sleep.

This lightning was INCREDIBLE⚡️⚡️⚡️ this storm and sirens combined is pure nightmare fuel

This is legit why I don't wanna see a tornado in person where I live, because 1, they're mostly rain-wrapped, 2, tornadoes at night are a hell no, because you can't see them, and 3, I live where there are a lot of trees surrounding my neighborhood, so the trees block me from seeing a potential tornado. It's why I wanna see tornadoes in person in the plains or in a large field, because you can see for miles.

Tornadoes in the dark can be very dangerous .

Your video is a good visual reminder that spin up tornadoes can pop up in systems like what occurred on the 26th. The NWS does a pretty good job trying to warn, but we have to pay attention and take the necessary precautions. Great video!

I was 11 years old in 1981, when i was in a very strong ef4 if not ef5 in haysville kansas, where my neighbor died, we were saved by a giant oak in my other neighbors back yard that fell along the back yards and not on us, i did not stop having nightmares about tornado outbreaks until i was at least 45 years old, and tornados still freak me out, i am literally right now considering not moving from this house into a much more convenient and comfortable home for me and my disabled veteran mom, because its close to the VA and has way bigger bedrooms, more closet space and two bathrooms, but i hate its location on the west side and on top of a flat long hill, where this home is at the bottom of and on the east side of a tall hill, making this place much less likely to be hit, i live on the se side of fort smith arkansas! So i have ptsd, its very bad on the mental aspect of a child and should be studied more imho!

That lightning was insane and seeing that funnel suddenly appear in the lightning flashes was frightening. The orange flashes actually made my blood run cold. Great capture mate thank you for sharing

There might have been no tornado warning initially. However, I believe that there was a tornado watch already in effect. When you have a tornado watch in effect, then you should treat any storm approaching you as having the potential of actively dropping tornadoes! That's especially true for a storm approaching you with this much lightning during a tornado watch. The radar signature of this storm made it crystal clear that this was a dangerous long-track supercell storm. Even if you don't have an active tornado warning, then it's best to take shelter from a storm like this one, or at least stay within close distance to a shelter. You're always better off being safe rather than sorry when it comes to a tornadic storm like this one! This particular storm was an extremely dangerous long-track tornadic supercell that kept dropping tornado after tornado for more than 400 miles! This storm started dropping tornadoes around the north side of Tulsa and across Eastern Oklahoma. Then moved all the way across Northern Arkansas to the Missouri Bootheel, dropping numerous tornadoes along the way. From the Bootheel it moved crossed the Mississippi River to the area along the Tennessee-Kentucky line, and ended up still dropping multiple tornadoes deep inside Western Kentucky. This storm finally dissipated over the Appalachian Mountains near the Kentucky-Virginia line. Fortunately long-track tornadic supercell storms like this one are a rare beast. However, a storm like this one is arguably the most dangerous type of thunderstorm there is. Long-track tornadic supercells like this one have been responsible for some of the worst tornado outbreaks in history across hundreds of miles!

These are the scariest storms because you can't see anything forming that well when it is this dark outside. We had a storm the other day...one second it was light out the next second it was so dark outside and it was morning at about 10 a.m. It came out of no where. I lived in Oklahoma as a child and moved back to Texas when I was a teenager and lived in Iowa for several years and I had never seen this weather so crazy as now.

Wow! This is one of your best yet. Mother Nature put on one heck of a show, and you gave us a front-row seat. Thanks for sharing with us! Edit- if you like storms and haven't already don so, PLEASE subscribe to this channel. I promise you won't be disappointed. There's no annoying background music, no shouting, no cussing. It's just pure stormy beauty. This gentleman does a fantastic job with each of his videos.

The sirens should have gone off long time ago!! Took way too long to warn people especially when in the middle of the night.

I hope the dog stayed safe. He was warning folks!

Is this why so many people died? The sirens not going off while it is clearly on the ground destroying structures? Wow. Scary.

I saw a lightening storm like this many years ago. Never forgot it. The sky was green as it came in. No tornado thank goodness, but lightening that caught fields on fire and hit two houses near mine. Two firemen were struck trying to put the fire out. Lightening like this and what I saw years ago is deadly.

Thanks for a brave capture of this set of storms!

This is absolutely mesmerizing. I was once on a plane and saw a lightning storm from above the clouds. My face was pressed against that window as I watched the different color lights flash. The area I live within my state only gets occasional earthquakes and smog. 😅

Great work capturing this event. I sat on my porch in Brookland and watched the show. That was one crazy, energetic storm!!!

This was a horrific storm system. I watched this on Ryan Hall's channel and it was just nuts. Was this the same system that produced 3-4 tornadoes at once? The amount of lightning with this is also insane.

Looks like EF0 to EF1 based on damage....small trees, branches, wooden roofs. (Streight line winds can do more damage if it covers a large area)

Nice shot 🤙🏽 honestly that funnel cloud after the 13:00 minute mark looks wild ! Plus all the ⚡️ ⛈️ just super crazy to see .

I don’t miss the warm weather having experienced these in the south. Losing a home was enough for us to move. Great video thank you.

this lightning is incredible!! The weather this year has been so crazy & unpredictable, but in the quiet moments, lighting like this happens & it can can be so beautiful!

Phenomenal video. Glad y’all are ok. Hope Dixie ally fares well later this season as I’m in GA.

At about 13:46 of the video even the frogs stopped croaking.

Hey guys, here's an idea. With a little bit of editing this could be marketable as a sleep helper. No, Im serious. Where I grew up in Kansas this was outside my bedroom window almost every night. It was the early 60's and a tornado watch meant go outside and look up. Gramps taught us that. When it changed to a warning, the cops would drive around with a bullhorn. Anyways...Pump up the gain on the crickets and thunder, either crop out (reframe) the light and put it on a loop. Sometimes I sleep with the rain and thunder videos but this is so much better. You'd have to lose the tornado footage, sorry but your views would go through the roof. It would be perfect. Just an idea.

Accurate title: lightning storm with sirens

beautiful and scary at the same time.. amazing video, ,well done :)

I just want to say this is the best footage of a lightning storm I have ever seen and while this storm is deadly and dangerous can we just appreciate how wildly beautiful the lightning is. Thanks for sharing! Just to add I’m terrified of lightning because it’s so dangerous & unpredictable.

Imagine those sirens in the 60s and 70s? Its either a tornado or nuclear war just started man! 🫣😵‍💫🤯...either way, you're in a bunker, with ya head between ya knees, screaming oh 💩!😳🫣😵‍💫🤐🫤

North Dakota has been getting rain and thunderstorms like this as well, No severe weather like the south and east has been getting and that sucks 😢.

Tornados aside, that was one wild lightning storm. Thank you for sharing.

Unless you have lived in a tornado area you really can't appreciate how scary this is. Spooky with the lightning show and hearing the tornado behind the camera.

I live in southern Louisiana. With bad thunderstorms once in a while a tornado will threaten the area but we typically don't have them. Mainly hurricanes. I've never experienced a tornado and I'm scared to death imagining what it's like. At least we can prepare for hurricanes. The sirens and lightening in this video sounds terrifying😮🌪⛈️

What a beautiful light show❤

This is INDEED INSANE, mate!!!! EPIC sighting and lightning plus thunder!!! KEEP IT UP, MATE!!!!

I've never seen lightning so fast . What a great fire works show . Brought to you by mother nature.

i'm from benton county in arkansas, we had eight tornadoes apparently, four of which were happening at the same time for about three minutes. there was a standstill tornado in this city called centerton. first time that the county had a PDS tornado warning.

Get the damn dog in the house! He must be terrified 😢❤

Imremember those horns-we had 1 about 100 yards from my childhood home in MS. Truly eerie images, the intense lightning & the funnel backlit. The horns & lightning together kinda reminded me of WWII videos of bombing raids (minus the fluctuating siren & the audible bomb explosions)

I took some pictures of the ⚡ we had here in Texas. It was awesome & spooky. I just knew something was brewing. Reminded me of a "paparazzi attack 📸.)I said, "We are going to get in some 💩!" Later that evening, I washing dishes looking out the window...it was almost dark out , that's not normal, it's only 7 p.m. At 7:45 sirens went off (i hadn't heard them years, thought it was broken 🤡) It was rain wrapped, it just blew in by. We've been blessed, here.

Where did this occur?

That’s some insane lighting!! Sometimes the tornados are rain wrapped and you can’t see them!

You may not know this, but when you have a lightning show like this, as spectacular as it may be, it is often a precursor to the storm violently intensifying. Always keep a sharp eye out for tornados, especially if you are located out ahead of its path. If you can't see the RFD cut, you're likely in danger. ESPECIALLY at night.

That lightning was insane, plus they was very slow on the uptake with the sciren. TBH soon as I saw lightning like that id have been out of dodge ages ago! you will never see things like this in the UK

Yep it came just south of us here on Lake Eucha, then hit Colcord & across the state line to North of Cherokee City, Decatur, lifted, & then touched down again in Bentonville & Rogers, actually got the nerve to go see some of the Destruction just west & northwest of Decatur today........ I watched the tornado warned storm development out west of I-35 & it moved all the way across Oklahoma & into Arkansas & eventually into Kentucky the next day, it missed us by about a 1/2 mile to the South, but you could see from our old block Cabin as the rotation went by as the wind changes occurred....... It was definitely a scary moment, had Grandkids with blankets, pillows & mattress ready, that was one crazy storm, actually had 3-4 debris signatures on radar at one time...... It actually went west, northwest of Decatur & another one at the same time went south of Decatur too

I was raised in illinois and california. The day we left an earthquake happened. I was in town and in a store with things falling off of shelves. Cannot tell you which frightened me more as when i was a kid we were told to get off the bus quickly(in illinois) twice and lie in a ditch.

this is one of the most beautifully majestic storm ive ever seen. breath taking

That's scary and how lucky yall were wow

That gave me chills. I love watching lightning storms we only get a few here where i live in UK. I have never ever seen lightning like that and to have the tornado form and the one destroying is truly terryfying. Send thoughts and peayeers to all in tornado alley and affected by them from across the pond . UK

Crazy lighting in the sky

The funnel cloud looked to be just above the trees and was slightly brighter than the rest of the storm. (if I was seeing it).

The National Weather Service has issued a Severe thunderstorm Warning 1:22 for Arkansas in the United States 1:30

Incredible display of lighting !! Would love to have some of that where I live, but without the threat of a vortex.

Glad you made thru that tense situation. Praise The Lord! I wonder why there isn't a system in place to illuminate the night sky whenever those sirens sound off? There was a searchlight system in WW2 for approaching hostile bombers over London, yet a similar system is not applied to threats like this in America...rather strange IMO.

I can say only 1 thing WOUW what a lightning never seen this before

I watched the tornado that went from Anna to Malissa and almost hit wolf city Texas. It was scary as hell it passed just south of of our farm maybe 3 -4 miles south of me Thank for y’all are ok that was a frightening night

What state were they in?

So about how hot was it outside during this video?? What state was this in?? Awesome show! Beautiful lightning and crazy tornado's!! That you for sharing.. 🤗

I hope everyone was safe.

I slowed down the playback speed to .25 and turned up the brightness. Whoa

There was a derecho storm in Houston and that was insane. The tornado rating was an ef1.

I'll never get that time back. Yes, I'm sure it was a rough storm, but the entire video was lightning and sirens. That's all you showed to us.

The lightning is likely why anyone noticed at all. Night tornados in the black are scary.

The National Weather Service Has issued a Tornado Watch 1:41

That was one wicked lightning ⚡⚡⛈️ storm! And I couldn't or could barely make out the tornado 🌪️ even when you pointed it out to us. Tornadoes at night or in afforested areas are scary because you can't see them. Doubly so it it's both and double again if they're surrounded by rain. That's why I don't ever want to see a tornado 🌪️ in person where I live.

To me, there's nothing more frightening than tornado sirens going off in the middle of the night. I don't want to see one in the daylight, much less at night! 😳😨

Incredible lighting! Thank you so much for sharing. Where was this?

😢😮I hope and pray 🙏every one is safe, wow just wow, but that is what they called Tornado Alley and everybody know that live there that tornadoes

I never saw a funnel! Did they both touch down? I saw the power flashes but never a funnel cloud or even a tree branch move?

By the way? Where is this? What state are we looking for a tornado or two?

This is the craziest $hit I’ve ever seen! I can’t imagine being there witnessing this light show in person!

I like watching lightning from a safe place, this one would have me praying in fear.

What a beautiful lightning show

Great video. Hate night time storms period !

15:43 Nite turns to Day in an instant with 1 Bolt ⚡

Where are you recording this? State, County, City? Thanks

Your channel nor your videos state where you are located. What state? City? Awesome video though

I watched the first 21 minutes and did not once see a funnel in front of the camera. What I did see was the front move in from left to right, but the only power flashes were from the tornado behind the camera. Insane lightning though! I’ve never seen lightning this intense. Amazing!

Its sad it took that long to have the tornado sirens go off after it was down that long.

If I lived in Tornado alley, I'd sleep in a bunker with my kids every night!! Night tornadoes are the scariest cause you can't see where they are😖

You can get a better idea of the funnel if you just hold the time slider for the video and scroll through the video to speed it up

I seen three tornadoes at same time merge...The one that hit Rainsville and done so much damage.... Geraldine Alabama....6 miles before Rainsville..

man imagine what it must've been like to be a native american living in the plains in a tepee and have weather like this above you...

Did anyone check if the rain is irradiated? That looks like a lot more flicker than thunderclap

Where was this tho

Beggining of the movie twister anyone? Oh Night of the Twisters as well.

My thoughts and prayers to those affected 🙏🙏🙏

The same situation happened to me except it was only one tornado that touched down roughly 2 miles from my location. It was scary.

In December of 2022 we escaped a tornado by 300 feet. My daughter and my dad both called to warn me of a tornado headed for our road. I was already outside and looking at the eerie lightning show and was thinking how crazy it was to not have any thunder. And them all at once the tornado was passing by our house. This same thing happened 6 month later but was about 5 miles away. If you see this type of light show with bad weather in the area, take shelter.

That’s usually what happens when twisters 🌪️ hit in my area, they occur at night when we’re in bed asleep and the only thing that wakes me up is my phone beeping 🚨 me that something is wrong.

It's scary. My children are very scared when there is thunder

What was that loud boom at 14:04? Thunder or something the tornado hit?

Was this in paragould arkansas?

Great footage and what a awesome video great work

You can hear the tornado that is behind this neighborhood and on the ground around 12:00(sounds like a waterfall) and you can see a different funnel, in front of the house, that isnt on the ground aroud 13:30

Omg was this the tornados in paragould arkansas???? Or rogers????

This is terrifying to me. The worse is night tornados. Where are the sirens located? Are they near every neighborhood?

My daughter: THAT IS MY NIGHTMARE I SWEAR!

Where?
