I agree this is an unusually well shot video- fortunately the tornado's path was away from the cameraman. The "hook effect" refers to what shows up on Doppler radar, but the wall cloud is definitely something you'd observe visually!
Yeah you get a good view of the scale of how the inflow goes in the mesocyclone and the rear flanking downdraft pushes the tornado forward. Which can be seen with a hook eco on radar
@sandeedobberstine5591 they're quite frequent in Alberta. Frequent enough that a photo went viral a few years ago of a small town alberta man just casually mowing his lawn with a MASSIVE tornado in the background 😂 when questioned, he replied "I was keeping an eye on it". Everyone is quite familiar with them even if we havent all seen one close up. We had tornado emergency training once per year all through elementary and middle school so we would know what to do if one happened while we were at school. I recently moved to Southern Ontario and have learned that tornadoes happen here with some frequency as well.
For real. Last year I watched a storm come together like this, it was both a beautiful, awe-inspiring, and terrifying thing to watch. Thankfully it didn't produce a tornado, but it was ready to finish coming together and drop a funnel cloud!
@@apex_prey- I initially thought this video was CGI. Spectacular indeed. But sit down. Lol. Magic is not the same as faith in higher power. And by that logic magnetism is nonsense. We could be amidst forces too subtle for physical detection. Quantum physics is barely getting observed by us. Let alone something beyond it. _--Quantum mechanics is deemed the hardest part of physics. Systems with quantum behavior don't follow the rules that we are used to, they are hard to see and hard to “feel”, can have controversial features, exist in several different states at the same time - and even change depending on whether they are observed or not._
The rotation on that supercell is just insane. Like a rotary engine of doom and majesty, hence why it produced a strong and well defined tornado. Nice work man.
Man I really like you not only got the tornado but the cloud movement above it. You can see the rotating cloud from up high. This is missing in so many videos!
I think it helped that it was being filmed from quite far away, and in a place with a very flat landscape. A lot of footage is from storm chasers who tend to get a bit closer so it can be hard to get the whole storm cell in perspective.
WOW. I have never in my life seen such perfect definition in a mesocyclone like that. Usually they are completely obscured by rain but this is GORGEOUS. You can clearly see where the RFD and inflow are working to make that thing spin- such a clearly defined hook that you can see from the ground. Stunning.
This footage is creepier than most tornado footage on YT featured as creepy tornado footage... the ominous rotating storm clouds juxtaposed against a perfectly normal looking, tidy, middle class neighborhood, the colors, the scale of the cloud structure and then all of a sudden, that nasty funnel can be seen, emerging from behind an otherwise all-American setting. Well done!
The updraft in the hail core to the right of the wall cloud was pretty crazy too. You could see where the dry air was being pulled into the wall cloud, insane capture.
Awesome video. The progression of the tornadoes, yes tornadoes, touching the ground and lifting up and touching down. Is aweinspireing. Your video is one of the best i have seen.
What an absolute horror! Tornadoes,though fascinating,have zero upside (like fleas and ticks and mosquitoes IMO) since they destroy everything in their path.
@@13yearsnake Tornadoes often happen when cold air is above hot air. Tornadoes help to right that wrong by sucking up hot air & sending it upward above the cooler air coming down in its downdraft.
To the filmer of this video … aren’t you terrified of that tornado building right there practically in front of your house????????? I don’t know how you stayed there filming but I hope you make a lot of money selling this video - it is amazing & never seen anything like it
In 2016 we were under another tornado watch on July 1st. I sat on the roof of my garage getting 20,000 images that I spliced into a single 4 minute video. There was no fear on my part
While frightening whenever I see swirls, funnels and this kind of movement in storms where I live I can't help but stare at it cause it's so spectacular =)
Ich finde es ist gut faszination für etwas auf bringen zu können und gleichzeitig respekt zu haben 😊wenn die angst gewinnt hat man verloren ,man darf jedoch nie vergessen wie mächtig die natur sein kann!
The Canadian National Railway pickup truck across the street actually has train wheels that can drop down so that it can travel on railroad track. Wonderful video!
This is Beautiful. Watching the rotation of the cloud somehow took me back to my childhood being outside before a thunderstorm and looking up at a massive tower.
Ah, No screaming "MAJOR TORNADO" or "LOOK AT THE DEBRIS" or "LARGE WEDGE TORNADO" . . . . . . Just good, well-shot footage of an amazing natural event. 100 points for you my good man/woman.
WOW! Mesmerizing, mindblowing, and magnifcent; while also utterly terrifying as well. I have never before seen such a remarkable video showing such incredible rotation with a huge, low-hanging wall cloud. This is extraoridinary, and this video should have way more views. It is truly that amazing. Thanks for sharing, and hope the tornado stayed away from your home.
This was not in real time. Unfortunately, people will speed up their videos a lot for storms... I think this is an incredible video But I think it portion of it would have been great to see in real time.
* WHOAH! * What fascinating footage ... but for a few moments it looked like it was coming RIGHT FOR you! Storm clouds like this are so awesome to look at ... but such devestation is occurring RIGHT THERE! A bit too close for comfort!
This was a bad storm, but Carstairs is a nice name for a joke. Car of Ford F-250 + House Stairs =Carstairs But in reality, cars can't handle the stairs grip because most stairs are roughly small, while cars are as huge as micro cars.
I was hoping that mesocyclone wasn't rotating that quickly and that violently! You got a front-row seat to the mesocyclone. Those are usually rain-wrapped and very difficult to see.
Those clouds are the most beautiful, enticing, horrifying thing I'll ever see. And all I can say is: give me an earthquake any day of the week. 3x a week even. But this?.. hell to the no.
I would have love to see at least a portion of this in real time. But that being said this is incredible footage You had the perfect viewing spot. This one is a beauty.
As long as it's moving left to right, or right to left, you can keep filming. If it is just getting larger and larger, you better move left or right, or go downstairs.
That is legitimately the wildest supercell I maybe ever seen & the potential this thing had is terrifying....luckily just a little cone is all that came outta this considering the massive ufo that dropped it
Cars and stairs dont mix well. I live in Car-ramps and the weather is much smoother here. 😂 Seriously though! You captured an amazing viewpoint of this storm!
That tornado is probably many more kilometers away than it appears. The wind in this video is probably from a barometric pressure gradient or the passage of a cold front.
This is probably one of the best views of other clouds as well as the tornado the cloud is what I seen when I was a little girl n I now understand it could have very easily turned into a tornado
Now meteorologist storm chasers and anyone that studies tornadoes can do a study on this one on how the clouds & other things that make these beasts run
