I am the son of a tornado chaser, seen hundreds, but this is the most vivid one I've ever seen. No distortion, no rain wrap, not too dark, didn't match the clouds behind, just perfect. My heart goes out to those affected. That being said, this is one of the most beautiful tornados I've ever seen.
15 years ago me and a few others from my class helped plant some of those trees around the lake and old event center. I made an effort to visit the park every year since then to see how they’ve been growing. To see them getting blown away like that, It’s hard to watch 😞
So sorry dude. That really sucks. It's wild to think how little control we really have over our futures... but it's no reason not to get up and try again because one day, hopefully, it'll all be worth it.
It really does look like it could be, doesn't it? I doubt it is though, judging by other close up footage available as well as the slower, more natural looking motion of items farther from the funnel at the same time. It would almost be more comforting in a way if it turned out that it was sped up, because being real, wow...amazing but terrifying. It helps to understand better just how these things can be so destructive and deadly, even the smaller ones like this.
What was scary about this tornado, other than the trees that were being sucked out, is that it was accelerating and that the funnel clouds were dipping before going back up and vice versa. Imagine how long the tornado is far from above when up close.
The Tri-State tornado of March 18, 1925, killed 695 people in Missouri (11), Illinois (613), and Indiana (71). It pull a child from the arms of her mother she hut a lamp post so hard she split in two. So for those that say a tornado is harmless stop watching movies.
Just visited Andover last summer and swam in the actual YMCA that 22’ drove a car into a water ride there. Exciting yet sad. Ryan Hall Y’all first made me aware of this on his live stream as it happened.
Everyone praising the American Flag, but the other two were actually still fully flying while it was only hanging on by one loop. Just amazed all three survived.
It's interesting how the tornado is just lollygagging around in the background not doing much of anything until about 4:05. Then suddenly it picks up both girth and speed. I was awestruck by how fast it suddenly moved! Wow!
It's amazing, scary, and informative to see how instantaneously the tornado changes direction once it meets the land. There really isn't any time to outrun it and no way of knowing whch way it will turn within the spilt-seconds it does. Amazing and terrifying at once.
If you zoom close enough... You can see that white suv chevy tahoe or gmc yukon slightly lifting up as the tornado aproaches the parking lot and across behind the building 😮
Sad to see all the damage, on the flip side this is excellent footage that someone may be able to use to build the damaged areas back stronger. Video shows great view of how tornados cause so much damage.
@@Trahzy Yes it did!, according to Wikipedia, this chaotic EF3 tornado have peak winds of 264 mph and rated EF3 based on the damage it caused. Making the 2022 Andover tornado the strongest since the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31st, 2013 (the most recent 300 mph tornado)
@maximumfainstein3335 The 2022 Andover tornado was not 264 mph. Also, 264 mph is an EF-5. The one in 1991 was 260 mph. The article you read is false, please research it more thoroughly.
@@Trahzy on the other hand a tornado with winds of 170 mph or around 175 mph is way too weak for a wicked tornado. 2022 had the worst March of all time, beaten the 1933 record.
@@christiankuhr2850 ahhh Christian... No prizes for likelihood of religious affiliation huh..? Nonsense isn't the noun I would reach for first.. words such as, naive, fearful, misguided, backward...
