BRITISH GUY Reacts to SCARIEST Tornado moments caught on camera... 

Ham and cheese sandwich? Missed opportunity to call it a funnel cake

The absolute worst thing about a tornado is that it can Take out 3 blocks of houses side by side.. boom boom boom. Then it can leave one house perfectly fine. No scratches, no dents. You just never know if your house is gonna be the house. I've seen this happen over and over.

Tornadoes are terrifying, and you should always be "weather aware" if visiting the US. I've been "in the path" (Tornado warning, push notifications, outdoor sirens, TV weather people on constantly) 4 times. 3 in Atlanta, one in Memphis Tennessee. Never saw the tornado, and each seemed to dissipate before reaching our part of town. But then a lot of Atlanta tornadoes are at night or rain-wrapped, so you couldn't see them anyway. Just took a weather radio into the central hall with the pets, pillows, blankets, and bike helmets until the "all clear" was sounded. Rather be prepared and not be hit, than be hit and not prepared.

A small, isolated tornado touched down about a mile from my house about a month ago. My husband looked out the window about 20 minutes before the touchdown and said to me, "I dont like the looks of things out there." So we took our dogs and went into the interior hallway (no windows) and waited untill the storm let up, then heard about it on the news. Our power was out for an entire week. Texas. 🤠

America is a buffet of natural disasters. Tornados, hurricanes, floods, sinkholes, blizzards etc.

I’ve been around too many tornadoes. The last one I was upstairs in my house and it started to rain but then it was like sand was being thrown at my windows. I then heard that iconic “ freight train noise” and I ran to get to the basement. My 130 pound Rottweiler was up against the kitchen cabinets not moving. It took some convincing to get her to get to the basement. The rain was sideways and you couldn’t see through it. It tore up my neighbors roof but didn’t touch us. A tornado can strip the bark off a tree. They are strong.

17:40 Tornadoes occur on EVERY continent except Antarctica

Reed Timmer has a new show out on RU-vid called twisters IRL. First episode aired today, 13 minutes long so good for a reaction. His objective when he chases is to literally get hit by the tornado in his tank of a vehicle covered in armour so he can measure data for research. It's pretty intense to watch but I think it'd be perfect for the channel

I went on a tornado chase for 3 weeks and we traveled from Wyoming to Arizona and had hail on the trucks several times. It's exciting when you're chasing, but you have to remember when you go to a gas station or restaurant that you are excited, but the people around you may have just lost everything, so you have to keep your voice low and respectful. 🤠

My ex had a tornado hit his house when he was a young boy. The family was sheltering in the basement, and the tornado ripped the entire house off of them and flung it into the house across the street, crushing that house with his. He remembers looking up and suddenly seeing the sky.

I'm from Jonesboro. That tornado passed less than a mile away from my house (probably about 1/2 a mile), and destroyed the neighborhood right next to my church. Pretty much the only buildings untouched over there were the church building and the pastor's house next to the church. The mall that was destroyed STILL hasn't been completely fixed. You didn't hear it cause you were talking, but it happened right as lockdown started, and if there wasn't a lockdown, there would have possibly been THOUSANDS, at least hundreds, of people at the mall when it got hit. We can safely say that the lockdowns saved lives because of this incident, lol. My sister lives in Little Rock, and they got hit by a tornado last year that was less than a quarter of a mile away from her house. She knew neighbors that lost everything. It was deemed a "mass casualty" event. I dunno the actual numbers, though.

Many in the USA speak more than one language.✌️😊

4:10 well, pretty much everyone in Uruguay would say they're "American", but that's because they have a different word for people living in the U.S. versus people on the continent of America.

live now chasing tornados! www.twitch.tv/adamcouser

Greenfield, IA tornado this year that happened on May 24th was recorded as the strongest tornado even. Mobile Doppler radar recorded wind speeds between 309-318mph or 497.287-511.771 kmph. Even though it was rated EF4 because of the damage caused. The EF only refers to damage done not recorded wind speed.

I love the tornado videos.

If you haven't already, you've gotta look into the 2020 Nashville tornado where the crane operator was trapped 400 feet up in the crane and filmed it. It's a little hard to see since it was at night - our tornados like to hit at night for some reason - but it's still terrifying. Also, a natural gas pumping station about an hour from Nashville was hit by a tornado and exploded in 2008. I've never found a video of it but there are photos.

If you want to react to a big one, the F5 tornado in moore oklahoma was a biggin. I was actually in oklahoma at the time. We drove out there to go to a wedding. The hail was so big we had to hide under an overpass but we didn't get to it before it damaged the car really bad and cracked the windshield in a few places. Also a side note, if you were to ever visit the US in these tornado hot spot areas and hear everyones phones simultaneously start making the siren noise be sure to take cover.

A few years ago , I worked at a company that advised restaurants on improvements. We were at a family style restaurant near Topeka Kansas. Being from Maryland, I never experienced a tornado. There have been tornadoes here but nothing even close to mid west tornadoes. We were at work and suddenly there was siren. I’m thinking firehouse. A few seconds later, there was a mad dash of people moving into the basement. I was bewildered as to what was happening. Someone said “ tornado “ I became part of the crowd rushing to the basement. Nothing ever came from it. I never heard the ‘ freight train ‘ sound and there was no damage done that I could see. The panic and fear that thing created was immense. The locals there experienced the destruction these monsters were capable of. A tornado report nearby was enough to immediately shut down a entire town with no advance notice. If people who lived in fear of this would run from this so quickly then they were experienced. These tough farmers. They hesitate. There was no machismo that day but fear respect.

You are hysterical . What you say and your expressions are priceless. Hope you're feeling better. 🤧

Tornadoes are the color of what they are eating !! With me living in Alabama and Georgia for the last 60 years has given me the chance to see 8 tornadoes .My home in Georgia was damaged by one . We lived on the West side of a mountain and the tornado came up the East side and sat down past our house . We ended up with half of a large Oak tree in our house . We also had a good bit of debris on our property from other homes . We had a refrigerator in our front yard from a home about 3/4 of a mile away on the East side of the mountain .The most amazing tornado I have seen was when I was around 10 years old . After school I was at my Grandmother's house at the end of the mill village I grew up in . Luckily it stayed up over the village and sat down in the ball field across the road from her house . After the ball field there were like 6 miles of heavy woods . Mostly large Oak trees and about midway through there was Interstate 85 and you couldn't even hear the automobiles traveling on it . But when the tornado had passed , you could see the automobiles traveling the interstate from my Grandmother's front yard !!!

I had never been in a tornado until June of 2024 when a tornado hit 15 miles north of Washington, DC

These tornadoes weren't really that scary. I've seen tons of videos of some that were way worse than these. El Reno 2013, Jarrell 1997, Moore 1999, Xenia 1974, Pilger 2014, Joplin 2011, Dallas 2019 immediately come to mind of terrifying imagery/videos. All of those are difficult for me to look at without getting sick to my stomach. And I absolutely love tornadoes

Ryan Hall, Y'all, Reed Timmer and Pecos Hank are great channels to watch to learn more about tornadoes. Ryan is a meteorologist who employs storm chasers and other meteorologists during tornado and severe thunderstorm outbreaks to basically Now-cast them. It's an amazing watch but usually very long streams of 8 to 12 hours but you'll learn a lot about how all this works. Reed is a loud, boisterous character but entertaining to watch. His vids would be great drama for the channel. He recently got INCREDIBLE drone footage of a massive F4 with many smaller vortices wrapping around it. GORGEOUS storm but I think it did massive damage. Pecos Hank is probably my absolute favorite chaser because he tells amazing stories, plays a guitar occasionally, stops to rescue animals, and people of course, during his chases.

Like I mentioned in one of your other Tornado videos, the calm before the storm & the eerie yellow hue is terrifying to me. After living through many tornadoes in Middle TN, then moving back to my hometown west of Boston, i was out for lunch with my Daddy & my Daughter who was 2. The sky turned yellow & i began to panic. My Daddy kept telling me it wasn't a tornado & we were safe. Thankfully it wasn't, though we have had a few in Massachusetts

Sometimes parts of the tornado isn't visable, as it comes down out of the sky. Those sections are just as strong as the rest of it, it just doesn't have any debris in that section yet, so it can be clean air being twisted around.

I remember in 1992, we were doing the build out of the newest Red Robin restaurant, 1st in LV. I grew up in the Mid West(during the summers; I moved to Vegas @ 8 y.o., on 10/31/81- sign of things to come), and I'm on a smokko on the back porch. I look at the cloud, because it was a bit cloudy and windy, with a bit of "piss on your back" sprinkling. I see the clouds, and immediately start betting the kitchen crew, contractors, and management - minus 1, he was from Indiana, that the clouds would go funnel. "No way! Vegas don't get no tornadoes!". I won $ 2700, and saw 3 dudes literally brown their shorts. Touched down in the old McCarran properties, and only hit two houses, but still - in a city that experiences 50 - 80 mph winds, dust storms, and sciroccos, that was a light storm. I've seen dust devils rip roofs and carports off their budgings, and seen resorts lose windows from a "light" dust storm, this made me laugh. As a teen, I'd grab a lawn chair when the tornado horns went off during my summers in Michigan.

Last month the new record tornado hit western Iowa. The town pretty much is all gone at this point. BTW, a tornado is just spinning air. What you see is the debris cloud and the cloud base being pulled down.

2:46 as an American: the tornado is moving away from the shop, which is probably why he came out near the windows. Tornados can zag or change directions, but tend to generally keep going in one main direction. However, flying debris could still be sent through the window so it’s better to wait until you’re clear of the strong winds.

Check out one of the real time tornado: tornado alley documentaries (Joplin, Moore, Tuscaloosa, El reno) give you a very good look at what its like to go through a bad tornado

Watch Pecos Hank’s video on the 2013 El Reno tornado. It was the largest tornado ever recorded, being 2.6 MILES wide! It was also the second strongest tornado on record, with wind speeds around 484km/h.

Seen many, been in a few. The storm that made the big one that hit Moore OK, we saw it coming, went in the shelter with all the neighbors. A tornado went through my back yard, took the top out of my tree, jumped over my garage and took all of the neighbors' massive trees. My daughter was supposed to be in Moore that night on a school trip, but it got called off for another reason. I've seen many of them in the clouds, and many have hit close by. It's something that you kind of get used to.

A few years ago, I was home alone with my dog, when 3rd home down the street was ripped apart, I was upstairs when the tornado hit my home directly. As I moved to exit the room, water drops hit my face, from the wind blowing through the door 6 feet away, dog was going crazy, I had trouble breathing as the air suddenly got sucked out of the house. After it was over, I went outside and collapsed on the driveway, neighbor stopped and asked if everyone was ok, yeah, got shook up pretty badly. The trees in my yard slowed down the tornado and when it hit my home, it's already "breezy", to allow air pressure to equalize quickly without damaging the structure. The neighbor's roof ended up wrapped up in the trees behind my house.

Every time you ask "what is that, is that the tornado?" what you're actually seeing is the debris cloud at the very base of it. Tornados are so massive you have to be far away to capture them ground to sky.

Pretty sure the first guy said something in Arabic when you said "that didn't sound American". I think it was a prayer, "Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem" (بسمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْم) is an Arabic phrase that translates to "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful". I don't speak Arabic, so am not 100% sure if I heard it right.

Had to finally subscribe bro, I found myself binging your reactions, subscribe was deserved. Hats off you you my friend.

I was in a tornado when I renting a house with my buddies in Iowa. I had just got back from picking up a keg and we sat out on the porch watching the strom while drunk before it hit lol. It happened at night so we had to wait for lighting flashes to see where it was headed.

Thats the one bad thing about twisters NOT being common in places, folks dont know how quickly they can ruin your day

Yes, Adam. Think of those pieces of tornado shrapnel slicing through the air!😮

I live in Jonesboro and my daughter always says “Covid did one good thing” because our mall was completely destroyed but was luckily mostly empty so nobody was severely injured or died. It was terrifying! I used to not get scared when tornado sirens went off because it happens so often around here but in 2017 my parents house was destroyed and then in 2020 the one in Jonesboro happened and we were about 1/2 a mile from the mall that was destroyed. Now I get my ass in the storm shelter as soon as the sirens go off

Great reaction Adam

To quote one of my favorite Universal Studios pre-ride videos: You start believing the twister is not just a weather condition. It takes on a life of its own, becoming an entity. A demon spirit, a devouring colossus bent on destruction. By the end, there's only one thing you can do - hold on for your life. - Bill Paxton

'Should they be close to windows?'. No they shouldn't. Even if the tornado is a few streets away, there is debris flying all around. I was in a building close to the path of one once. We went to the basement for a few minute & nothing much happened. A mile & a half later it twisted a high rise so bad it had to be torn down.

We've had a few. Nothing substantial . Nova Scotia has nine tornado touchdowns on record. The EF1 tornado that touched down in Stewiacke on June 30, 2021, was the first confirmed tornado in the province in two decades. It was on the ground for more than 600 meters, destroying a barn. A few weeks later, another EF0 tornado was spotted in Antrim.

A recent tornado just a couple of hours drive west of me just recently broke the record (or came close, i've seen different numbers) for wind speeds. 318 mph peak wind speeds, I can't even imagine that. And I lived through the 2020 Iowa Derecho, even the worst of that storm wasn't even half that speed. look that storm up if you want to see some crazy footage.

I almost spit out my drink. I JUST got done watching one of Underworld's most recent vids and didn't notice that's who you were reacting to until I heard his voice lmao. That's funny. But also the I have a friend who used to do storm chasing and I found out about that game a few days ago and sent it her way because I think she'd enjoy it since she can't be in the field anymore (she's caring for her mom who is a delightful lady). Edit: also in case anyone else hasn't said it (I'm trying not to scroll through comments anymore. Cesspool. Everywhere.), but America has sooooo many languages in it from all over the world. People immigrate here all the time, bringing their languages and cultures. In the Missouri one, the guy is essentially praying to God or saying "God is great" or something along those lines. I forget the exact translation, but I've heard it before in Saudi ghost hunting videos several times. A lot more of our population is bilingual or more than two languages than what some of us want to admit (I have no idea why. I think it's a good thing). In videos about the US when you hear people speak not-English, maybe try not to sound quite so rude? Apologies if you didn't mean to come across as such, but it sounded like it to me even if it wasn't likely intended to be. It's like asking why someone who is Cherokee (a Native Tribe), is speaking Cherokee and not English.

The odd thing about a tornado is that you can see it in the sky and on the ground, but until debris is kicked up the portion between the top and bottom isn't always visible. . I have watched a good number of tornadoes videoed by storm chasers, some of them seem to be exhilarated and yell and scream and some times act stupid. I don't l care for that type. The people I watch are the smarter, more cautious ones who respect the storm, its beauty and what it can do, but watch the storms progress and get out of the way when they get too close. I don't appreciate the ones who seem to be ignoring the fact that someone's home or life is being destroyed.

Our prep for tornadoes….. 1. All photos are saved to the cloud along with artwork etc that we want to keep. 2. All serial numbers for all electronics are recorded and uploaded to the cloud. 3. We take pictures every 6 months from each corner from each room and open drawers etc. easier for insurance adjusters. 4. Everything is in the cloud outside of certain documents. I keep one copy of all our government documents and other copies of credit cards etc at the security safety box at the bank and one at home. Otherwise we just make sure we have food, water, batteries, a handheld radio, etc and go to our basement and hope we don’t get hit. If it happens we are as prepared as we can get. That’s all we can do. Southwest Kansas is where I live. Sirens go off all the time. 😂😂😂

General rule of thumb for tornado safety: If it looks like it isn't moving, it's coming straight at you and you better move or get down and pray

When you see a tornado - if it doesn’t look like it’s moving at all and just staying still, that’s when you need to leave immediately. When it looks like it’s just staying in 1 spot, it’s actually coming straight at you, which is why it doesn’t look like there’s any movement.

I've been in 3 tornados. Once when i was 23 i was in my car and it was rain wrapped. The only nightmares I had as a kid, tornadoes. I have PTSD about everything tornadoes, as you can see

Been in a few, living in Indiana. The scary thing for me is that they're invisible until they pick up debris and pull down the clouds. This is the first video I've seen that shows you can't see wind, only what it carries.

Tornado wind speeds are just educated estimates unless confirmed by weather instruments. To date, the highest recorded tornadic wind gust (and the highest recorded wind on Earth) occurred just a few short weeks ago, with the May 2024 Greenfield, Iowa tornado. Peak winds were measured by the University of Iowa's mobile doppler radar at 309 mph (497 km/h), with a margin of error of about 5 mph. This means they could have been as high as 313 mph (503 km/h). With that being said, the Elie tornado was given an F5 rating after someone recording it sent Canada's weather service their video of it lofting an entire house whole, and then disintegrating it within the vortex.

The guy in Arkansas was praying. I recognized the ‘Bismillah’ as part of the prayer in Muslim faith.

LOL.......Adam is too funny. I like how he intentionally mispronounces the word "game" as "geem". hehehe

I was living on the Military Base, CFB Borden, which is literally connected to Angus, Ontario. I walked outside to have a smoke, put the cigarette in my mouth, pulled my lighter up to lite it, saw the tornado and said “Yeah, Nah, not today” About faced and went inside lol

I once was caught in a warehouse in Oklahoma working while a f4 came through. Couldn't see anything happening because of no windows. Which was probably a good thing. All we had was the weather radio telling in how close it passed us. Less than three miles.

I too enjoy long walks on the beach and 80's music 😂 Hope you're feeling a bit better today.

If it looks like it’s not moving, it’s coming toward you.

"is this line the border?" "Ohhh" "Ohhhhhh"😆 Oh Adam. Cracking me up all the time bro.

Hey Adam, my names Ashton, I’m a storm chaser from Oklahoma. I love your reactions to weather related videos. I would absolutely love to take you storm chasing when you come out to the U.S. next year. If you’d be willing that is. It’d be an incredible experience. We can get in contact further.

I've been through 2 tornadoes. 1 in FT Smith Arkansas where it destroyed both houses on each side if me. It skipped my house. 1 in Joplin Missouri where my house was totally destroyed.

Yes, we get plenty of tornados in the UK. Theyre just very weak compared to those in the USA. On the EF scale, British tornados are overwhelmingly EF 0- EF1. And EF2 or EF3 is very rare and considered a very significant tornado for us.

Oh yeah, i remember the tornado that ripped through Jonesboro. Luckily I was a few miles out of the path so my place remained undamaged for the most part but it's true, midday on a Saturday on any normal weekend that mall would have been full of people and the tornado ripped clean through a huge section. A big reason there were no fatalities at all was because of the Covid19 restrictions which believe me folks in town were not quick to adopt to

Actually lying down as flat as you can on your stomach is probably the best position you can be in with your arms and hands covering your head. That's probably the safest you can be if there are no ditches, storm cellars, in ground swimming pools to jump into.

I live in Winnipeg MB. Home of Jets. Eli is about a 40 min drive away. We all remember that storm.

Yes, that is America. It is actually my homestate and about 2 & 1/2 hours north east of my home. This tornado hit on my 52nd birthday (the Jonesboro tornado).

You should check out some of the videos of tornadoes with multiple vortexes and tornadoes that turn counter clock wise ! They are rare and interesting !!

I live an hour north from New York City so we have gotten tornadoes but not many at all & I haven’t seen any in my 30 years but I was always told that if I ever was to see one in front of me, that I was safe as long as I could see if moving across the ground however if the tornado looked to be standing still & not moving or not spinning that that’s when it was coming right at at me. So your safe as long as you’re a safe distance away & you can see it moving to the side but tornadoes don’t just sit in one spot or stand still so if it looks as if it’s not moving, that’s when you’re in trouble & either admit defeat depending on how far away it is or run like a MF’er & Pray 🙏🏽🌪️😫

A famous tornado occurred nearby my town, it's the 2011 Joplin Missouri tornado

A tornado hit my house in Tennessee on Dec 9th. EF3, 6 people died

These were pretty tame tornadoes. I watch one go by my house that was as big as most of these, in Utah. Still fun to watch.

We that live in the area of tornado alley,carry insurance for full replacement value of our homes and property.The discovery channel had a program called storm chasers that can give you an idea of what it is like to be up close to them.These shows are available on RU-vid.

A haircut EVERY Friday!?!?!? I get a haircut like every 2 months 😂😂

Dude; look up the El Reno/Moore Oklahoma tornado in 2017 if you wanna throw up. It’s the largest tornado ever recorded and got up to 2.6 MILES wide! I BBQ’d for victims, 1st responders and volunteers for 5 days following the storm. Only reason I didn’t stay longer is I ran out of vacation time (PTO).

Ontario Canada is like a mini tornado alley. They get around 13 tornadoes a year. I have fain ottawa and there were 3 or 4 last year

Adam, I’m from the Jonesboro Arkansas area and was watching it live on tv. Jonesboro is a very diverse city with many different nationalities, so you’ll hear many different languages

ive watched a few of your videos man, and im hooked lol love the content! new subscriber here

Some people chase because they're adrenaline junkies...they cheer and immediately drive away. Then there's another type of chaser. They love chasing, but they also provide early warning to the storm-spotting network and weather outlets...they immediately arrive to areas hit by the tornado...they come equipped with chainsaws to help make roads passable for emergency vehicles, as well as first aid kits, etc. to use as they assist with looking for people trapped in collapsed structures.

Ive lost two roofs to tornadoes , one sent my tree thru my house

Your Canadian accent is actually really good 😂

The sequel to the "Twister" movie, "Twisters", is being released internationally on July 17th by Warner Brothers.

I live for Adams reactions. He’s the most natural at this and I work for channels with 1-7mil followers. Adam is a natural and that’s hard to find.

I'd definitely recommend Pecos Hank if you want videos from a storm chaser. Dude captures some crazy footage.

The UK does get them i believe the last major one that happened was in 2005 in Birmingham, England. One tried to form in the hills near where I lived in Scotland in 2019 before I moved to the US. Yet to experience a proper one but glad i havent yet.

If you wanna see some other awesome tornado videos, Pecos Hank here on youtube has videos that he himself captured. Super fascinating. Love your reactions to the wild weather lol

What do you do when your home gets destroyed by a tornado? Count your blessings, try to find belongings in the rubble, and wait for your homeowners insurance agent to visit. Then you rebuild.

17:37 You don't hear of them because tornados are pretty rare in the UK, and the few you do get tend to be weak. You had a tornado in N. Ireland and another in London, 2006.

One hit my home the year I was born, lifted our roof and dropped it back down. Some windows in the house are still jammed.

The cameraman never dies, we all know that.

You should watch the documentaries about the Joplin and Moore tornadoes.

Tornadoes are strong enough to warp the structure of a skyscraper, flip a locomotive, and toss vehicles like toys

In fact, while tornadoes are better known for occurring in countries such as the USA, Canada and Bangladesh, scientists say they are surprisingly common in the UK. On average, around 30 tornadoes are reported in the UK every year according to the Met Office.Apr 16, 2024

80s music " im an old soul"😂😂😂😂😂😂 really 80s,thanks now i feel real old😂😂😂😂

I live near Angus in Ontario. I saw that tornado from my house.

One fact about tornados people need to know is if the tornado doesn't look like it is moving, it is coming right at you. Pack up and go!

As of 6-27-24, Oklahoma has had 100 tornadoes this year

I live in Oklahoma and have got so used to the tornadoes that it’s just another day. I don’t get all worked up. If it happens it happens.

At night I take shelter if the sirens start sounding and my phone starts getting the warnings. During the day I am guilty like many Texans of going outside to look for the tornado.

Maybe you could react to a storm chaser named Reed Timmer…. He will drive a car (usually a rental) straight through the center of a tornado. He’s completely nuts but fun to watch. I’ve seen/experienced a few tornadoes and they are terrifying. I’m fine. 😊
