HUGE Iowa EF-4 Wedge Tornado Intercept Winterset, IA: March 5th, 2022 

That car pulling the trailer that passed your car paid the price, I hope they are all ok. That trailer got torn right off their vehicle! Luckily they drove away and hopefully had no major injuries or damage. Great video!

This tornado was just upgraded from a EF3 TO EF4. Absolutely devastating. A mom lost her husband, 2 youngest children and mother to this tornado. She is currently in the hospital.

I have had advanced training in weather spotting, and you can trust me when I say these guys were very foolish for getting as close as they were! Don’t misunderstand me; it was great footage and exciting to watch! I know exactly how it is. All you can think about is getting closer than everyone else. But you need to think about your own safety and life! No footage is worth the grief your loved ones will feel at your funeral! When I was younger I would have been as bold as they were! I’m 70 years old now and have reached the point where wisdom is the better part of valor!!🤔 Prayers for those affected by those storms!!🙏🙏🙏

Amazing footage! It always blows my mind how such large and violent tornadoes can get rain wrapped and just disappear. Unfortunately not everyone was as lucky as those drivers that just missed it. Also, thanks for being respectful, because I've already seen some reckless chasing.

4:37 to 5:12 is exactly what that driver with the trailer should not have done. Ignorance can cost you and, in this case, it flipped his trailer. Please stay safe if you are out in the damage path of this tornado everyone.

Seeing how the guy with the trailer passed illegally only to get flipped up the road is heartbreaking. Trust your storm chasers but also why didnt you guys stop?

Insane motion on that tornado. Pretty nutty for an early-March cold core setup in Iowa.

Damn I could never chase storms with the screamer, shit would stress me out

The guy that passed them hauling the white trailer got flipped when he pulled off the road at 5:08.

The vehicle pulling the trailer was blown over to the left @ 5:09 and no one even noticed or stopped to check on them. Hope they were ok.

man, the winds you guys got caught in on that inflow were super intense. Hopefully that driver with the trailer is OK. You could see him get tossed.

That tornado was a half mile from town it’s crazy to think just a short distance and we could have had many more lives lost. We have a wonderful community coming together to help out. #WintersetStrong

Thoughts and Prayers for Iowa this morning that were hit by the tornado.

Insane video...that guy that passed you guys even lost his trailer at 5:09..

That’s amazing tornado footage. However, please be very careful chasing a fast moving tornado like this one! That was a violent tornado that was moving at highway speeds with a forward speed of over 50mph. If that tornado had suddenly changed direction, then it would have been right on top of you in no time at all.

These storm chasers are crazy, but I am grateful for their hard work and high risks! Thanks!

I’ve chased with my brother and it’s terrifying and exciting all at the same time! This’s a monster tornado. Prayers for everyone’s safety.

I remember this tornado missing my house near winterset. It’s such a vivid memory in my mind and I can’t forget it.

My thoughts and prayers with the whole town of Winterset!! 😢😢😢😢

Whoa guys, best vid yet 😊, I live just South of downtown Des Moines on a high hill and I filmed it passing over , the sound coming out of the sky was like nothing I've ever heard

From a midwestern boy to another.....yall my heroes🤘. Hope everyone involved wind's back on top...no pun intended😁

Adam, good to see you on the case again. Another great video!

I live in KY but I hate when tornadoes go through a town and there was people killed by that tornado:( prayers for iowa😔🥺

Great video, my fine gentlemen! Be safe out there! Impressive tornado! Thank you for sharing your video!

thats one nasty twister. RIP to those lost to this storm

Enjoyed your video! Never been in a tornado and hope I won't ever be in one. My thoughts and prayers to those that lost their lives in it.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This was horrifying, I was hours from home while my friends and family were home and just missed by the tornado by a few miles I pray for all those affected and and grateful every moment for how fortunate I am to be unaffected

It's a good thing Iowa is sparsely populated. We here in Alabama have some of the largest and strongest tornadoes, and are more populated. We have a lot of trees as well, which obscures our tornadoes, and the majority are rain wrapped.

Omg! That's the biggest one I've seen. Those poor people that died 😢

The guy that passed you at 4:40, if you watch a few seconds later, his trailer he was carrying just leaves his car at 5:09. You can see him look like he's trying to turn around on the road the trailer just tumbles.

Great job of getting into position without being injured. Thank you for some great footage. Not your guys first rodeo!

This is an incredible video, insane footage - awesome job guys!

It's fascinating how most of these powerful wedge monsters driven by extreme low-level shear have either an actual horizontal vorticity or that churning rolling pin motion in the upper front section...amazing footage guys.

Thanks for the video!

You guys should have checked on that truck that got thrown.. I know you were focused on the tornado but it's important to help others.

Yea I am from Altoona I probably store this experience on a paper or something I wasn’t able to see it but thanks to this vid I can

Laughing my ass off because these guys are so caught up in it that they don’t even notice (or comment anyway) that the SUV and trailer that passed them got flipped and tossed into the ditch when the wind blast hit them. Awesome footage………..ballsy!

I saw this tornado from my porch. It was so close I didn't risk taking a video. I just ran and told everyone to get in the cellar.

That douch with its trailer, overtaking, like "what the heck about some faint whirlwind, let's rock it baby !", he got rocked indeed...

Did you get out and try to help anyone where those homes were destroyed or were you just getting pictures? The vehicles that went around you were probably trying to make it to loved ones.

You guys are frigging insane.

It's cool. I just worry that if there are too many chasers they can start to impede traffic. It's alright in lesser populated areas but as we've seen in the past chasers have caused bottlenecks and prevented people from escaping.

5:07 the truck that passed you got tossed across the road. At least his trailer did. Y'all got very close to this one.

Great timing 👏

That was a monster! And some of those people were oblivious to what was going on and that dude with the trailer was ignorant!

Very sad ordeal!! 4 adults and 2 children under 5 killed and several injured! Very sad!!

Thank God you 🙏 are all out there

Great video capture. Thanks for sharing.

Something so powerful and beautiful,yet so dangerous and scary.Keep up the good work, but please please please,be safe

5:04 That guy that passed you with the trailer... you guys didn't even notice that he got tossed across the road and into the ditch on the left. You were so busy watching the storm, NONE of the "chasers" even bothered to STOP and see if the guy was okay. I get the "thrill of the hunt" (I chased for a couple seasons many years ago)... but you should NEVER ever just ignore someone who gets tossed off the road like that.

Did the truck at 3:00 get wiped off the map or did he make a turn? You can see the headlights start sliding to to the right, his left. Then when they drive through he's gone.

Beautiful view

Great footage...and to think we still have snow here lol. Thanks for uploading this!!

Amazing footage of what one of our tornadoes that day looked like. When I saw it was thinking of twister movie and that one was a er5 that was portrayed.

Whoa! Huge! Last time we had tornadoes like that was during the 1965 Palm Sunday Outbreak- Branch County, Michigan. Two EF4's tracked back to back a half hour apart along nearly the same track. I find all kinds of broken glass, nails, stove grates, marbles, and the like when I'm digging at my current residence which is within a mile of the twister's paths.

That’s the tornado that was on the go pro in that one neighborhood video 🤯🤯🤯🤯

My car got pushed almost into a ditch and I was fishtailing in my damn Jeep Liberty in Walcott around 10:30-10:40 pm. Thought it was car trouble but then took the exit and felt normal. Googled for nearby twisters today and found this . Freaky. Wind gushes everywhere. There will be more damage reported tomorrow scattered thru out Iowa.

I live there. It’s weird because I never expected or thought a tornado would ever hit my town. It’s sad

Great video

Talking about Henryville here in indiana?? So amazing how beautiful and destructive tornados are. Just wow. Be careful y’all, and stay safe.

Did you guys not see the trailer of the guy that passed you flip over?

Stops on a bridge and calls the other guy an idiot.

I love weather of all kinds, however, since New England a few years ago had it's own tornado outbreak with two EF3's, and one EF1,whenever the sky gets dark in the summer, I'm forever watchful ever since that summer in June when I wok to a t-storm, thinking it was just that, since I needed to run errands, and wanted to know how long the storm would last. Image my shock when I heard tornado warning. I woke my son, he grabbed the cat, and since he didn't think I was right, he heard the same thing, then he said I guess you were right. I said firsts things first, don't panic. It's not going to hit here, it's in down town. No sooner was the first one done, we had another one right after the first. When that one was done, we had one more uptown, but it was only small, and damage was kept to a minimum. The warning ended at 11:30 .m. bUt 3 buildings a;; sated for demolition we taken out by the tornado.

Wow. I live in Iowa. It was quite a day!

This tornado was 1 mile away from my house it was so scary, it was the first tornado I ever experienced in my life. Luckily none of my family was hurt..I feel bad for the people who lost their lives

WOW!!! This got my heart racing. You all are brave, for sure.

Good footage, but dump the screamer. Sheesh.

Y’all’s communication is 👌🏾

Holy cow is right!

That was crazy! Great first tornado of the season!

I HOPE WE DONT HAVE ANYMORE AT ALL THIS YEAR!!! THIS WAS AWFUL AND COULD HAVE BEEN MORE LIVES TAKEN!!! THANKFULL I HAVE A BASEMENT AND WAS IN IT!!!!

Getting that close to a major tornado is like swimming with great white sharks with steaks tied to your arms and legs. Neither is a good idea.

Nice - good luck with the new channel guys

Worst tornado we’ve had here in a long time

Im not a trained in meteorology ive only studied it my whole life since I could say the word storms. And I did take some classes in meteorology however no where near enough to know half of what I would need to be professionally chasing. However I have something not many have intuitive empath and I can pick up energy and have what some call a gift others a curse pyschic medium clairvoyant whatever you call it. Even some healer abilities and I can see aura, and have extreme sensitivity to areas that people are ill sick injured disease etc without touching them. I also can speak to spirit and my guides who will often give you intel about our lives ...this dimensions challenges disasters matters not yet known but pending and very well known to them and they'll tell me as a warning or just in informative ways. One thing I can not only sense and feel with my sensitivity to energy and idk I just feel when there are changes in living beings environments locations even down to the air pressure...pending earthquakes etc. One thing I've felt since the world had lined up with a energy that is very rare and happens on very rare occasion the whole energy field has been off. Its been unbalanced unstable and bouncing all over the place for years but this year particularly. With that it automatically had me questioning what this met and could lead to for our world. ..and of course even if I didn't ask spirit directly they heard me thinking it and they know im going to ask or think it before I even do so they already started to warn and notify me from the beginning of this "energy shift" its hard to explain to someone who doesn't feel energy or understand what I experience. Its like your whole body all your senses and even additional senses are in high alert aware and kinda looking all around your looking harder focusing on details more hearing more ...feeling more feeling sound smelling things like super senses. And in your guts gut and in your heart or its like in the center of your body right in the middle above your belly but below your chest bone deep there's this tight pulling knotting pressure feeling that u can feel this gravitational pulling n pressure and its so intense when your tuning into something your supposed to tune into...and it is a sensation that is so distracting that it feels as if the time in this world freezes you hear nothing you see nothing you feel nothing except that guy deep cote tightening twisting pulling and you trance like into it focused unknowingly unintentionally without thoughts with actions you didn't communicate subliminally to take but your taking them this pull is pulling all of your awareness senses intuition into it and then it sends these pulses of waves with energy frequencies that come to you soundless smell less you don't think about it you don't try to understand it you just feel it and without talking it says everything that its been destined to do...you hear it loud clear without audio but with feeling thoughts not even thought but now flooding your mind with information so fast so intense so quickly you feel it sense it understand it and can feel it in your core so deep in you ...then you snap out of it and your back in control of the natural humans ways you hear audio noises time isn't still your aware if everything around you smells back sounds back your thinking and instantly with this overwhelming urgency your driven to deliver whatever information you just received to whoever whatever for whenever it was met to be delivered and like a mission a obligation you vowed to dedicate to fulfil you do everything to make sure you deliver it. Thats how this change has been and the information warnings I've felt and been told is that this tornado season will be one if the most unpredictable not record breaking like the Moore tornado but the traveled will be more then the moore tornado caused. We wknt have a eF5 but the storms we do have will have the same devastating effects and results and unpredictability that the Moore tornado bought with it. Small random unpredictable intense tornados are going to cause more damage more danger more tragedy and death then a 2 mile wide record breaking tornado ...so prepare for the year of surprises that will go against all the things we thought we understood about these storms and tornados. It won't be extreme fatalities the fatalities that occur will mostly be due to the unpredictable pop up unfamiliar against what science has taught us fast out of no where unpredictable unprepared sporadic and aggressiveness of these tornados that will result in fatalities and damage...if I could call this tornado season a name that best describes what I feel and been told and shown images off...id call it ..the year of unpredictability . Pay most attention to May into June. May stands out the most ...tornadoes in unfamiliar places to have them too .

The house right across from the race track used to be my aunt and uncles

This is incredible … ballsy …. But incredible.

The car and trailer that passed you. Is that laying in the ditch on the left at 5:27?

I am glad there are people that like to do this but I could never do it. I'm ready to find a storm shelter now and it's not even storming here but I think tomorrow it will be... I will be so nervous until all of this is over. Please be safe all from,,,, Tennessee here

calm down boys your embarrassing yourselves.

The driver hauling the white trailer definitely miscalculated, so sad to see that trailer flying off to the left of the screen. I'm surprised at how many drivers appear completely clueless.

The car’s headlights at 3:00 that seemingly disappear as if the car got sucked into the rotation- looks like two headlights popping up in the tornado spinning around starting at 3:09 on the far right side of the tornado then again a few seconds later you’ll see them pop back up on the left side… like as if the car is being spun around inside up in the air 😳😳😳

Great video. Stay safe guys 🌪

One wonders why people get killed in tornadoes. They are out driving around and not aware as to what the weather is doing!

Just wait till April or May!

WOW !!! That tornado was really movin’ too. I can always tell that it’s an EF-4 or EF-5 by how fat and dense it is + by watching the sides of the condensation funnel; how fast it’s being sucked upwards. It was very easy to see that it was high-end on the EF scale. I wonder if that guy with the trailer made it, he drove right into it ? High winds love flipping trailers.

They need to leave that one mommie dude AT HOME!

Wow, you guys are awesome, brave and crazy. Do you keep extra pants with you? Thanks for the excellent videos and may the universe continue to protect you.

Great chase!!!n good footage!!!!

I had an experience like this once. Or a couple times. It's just a fact of living in Iowa. Sometimes tornadoes decide to happen. I like it that way. It's normal, in an ever increasingly not-normal world.

That truck that drove passed you guys his trailer went flying 5:07

Amazing Video!

You realize that the guy you honked at ended up on his side on the left side of the road?? 😳😳

At least in the midwest you can see them coming, in the south they ambush you because of the mountains

Notice what happened to the driver with trailer that passed them? Trailer torn from his rig and overturned! Off to the left of the highway.

Didnt you see the truck and trailer get sucked to the other side of the road and tumble down the hill? I would have stopped to help!!!!!

That person with the trailer that went around the chasers got tossed at 5:05!!

Weather radio save lives people. Buy one if you don't have one and live in a tornado prone area.

What happened to that poor guy with the trailer that made the mistake of passing? I thought I saw his trailer get tossed in the air, only to land on the other side of the ditch on the left side of the road. Never saw what happened to the vehicle.

Was that car on fire in front of you guys? It pulled over on the side of the road. God Bless this town. Thanks for all you guys do.
