JAW-DROPPING Tornado Drone Footage Shows Kansas Town Get Ripped Apart 

Yes maybe a design similar to the hurricane proof homes of FL would be ideal

You can get roofing that can survive an F1 maybe an F2, but after that there's not much you can do. There's a picture on the web of a supposedly tornado-proof home in Oklahoma that got shredded by an F4.

@@edcella181 I believe it was a concrete dome home, great design to withstand tornadoes but it took a direct hit from a high-end EF4. The dome was still standing, but it had serious structural damage all across it and all the windows/doors were gone.

Concrete roof/house.

Concrete dome home.

Yeah, for me too. It moved so quick, and was so destructive.

Many excellent videos of tornadoes close up, few that show the speed and destructive ability they have.

It didn't "lift entire homes". It tore the roofs and some of the top stories off homes. It was an EF3.

Great video. With drones today, we don’t need to worry about safety of helicopter pilots that have gotten great footage. But had to dodge the winds and flying debris.

@@tomgates316 One notes by the debris that the actual vortex is much wider than the funnel cloud itself. Agreed, a great video.

Wow you might really be right. I've never seen so clear a view of such a brief moment of tornado power.

Ya I agree: I live in Kansas, only 2 hours from Andover, and I’ve seen plenty of storms and tornadoes. But this footage is the best I’ve ever seen.

Agreed. Like wow. 😱

Imagine having this type of technology back in 1991 😲

I tried to think of better footage than this, but I honestly couldn’t think of anything better. This really shows everything there is to see.

Yeah, too bad the drone operator was clueless about aiming the camera to follow the action.

​@@dustysmoke4996Its bad enough that we watch this to satisfy our curiosity without any intention to help, but following the action means that you actively seek entertainment from watching the destruction of other peoples lives. You sick little fiend.

Uhhh, the wizard of OZ? Literally filmed in the same state.

Zip it it makes hit different sounds cliche!!

AI IS GETTING BETTER AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS LOL. HELLO SLEEPERS THERE ARE MORE AND MORE AT/CGI VIDEOS COMING OUT WAKE UP. FUNNY HOW ALL THE STUFF WAS FLYING IN THE AIR BEFORE IT STARTED AND NONE OF IT FALLS TO THE GROUND. AND THE DRONE NEVER MOVES IT STAYS IN THE SAME SPOT LOL.

It looks somewhat electrochemical - like electric field sucking out oil na from the pipelines. It should be visible on satellite data... Interesting

It’s weird to say this, but what is your favorite tornado?

I think back in the 90s there was some jawdropping helicopter footage of a "drill bit" tornado (to use the popular new euphemism) going across a forested area. I think the speed of that thing may have exceeded this one, perhaps you've seen it. But it was plucking trees from the ground and throwing them a thousand feet in the air and I think at one point it even tore a bunch of water from a pond. Either way, the video above is next level for sure (not the least of which for sheer clarity and stability).

I was 5 when the Super outbreak of April 1974 happened. I will never ever forget any of that.

I was thinking that same thing. Something doesn't look right about it

def. manufactured.. we live in the country and winds get reallllly bad... in this clip there is no wind.. geoengineering at it's finest

@@christysdeals4u Yeah the drone is thousands of feet from the funnel, of course there's no wind. Around a tornado and away from the downdraft there's generally calm, still air.

Normally you can't see the interior of the tornado because it sucks up so much dirt and debris the center winds become obscured. This tornado only just formed right on top of those houses so it was still transparent.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy vibes maybe they needed to make way for a super hwy

Now imagine the damage one does that is a full strong twister. You’re right this is a weaker one as far as tornadoes go, and it does that. Just shows how powerful they are.

Nah you can see it’s pretty big the base is just the stronger it’s visible around the :45-50 second mark you can see very vaguely the outline of the tornado outside the clearly visible part and it’s big

Prince .... he didn't say weaker... he said tiny and invisible.... there is something very unnatural about this one.

@@jeanchristy It's not rain wrapped so it looks smaller than it actually is.

Because it was a controlled Tornado, man-made.

A professional storm chaser happened to be in the area, this is not the norm and shouldn't be expected anytime a tornado happens, this was the perfect conditions, time, everything.

@@Electronic424 good afternoon 😃🌞. Dude how are you doing this afternoon I’m just woundering ok 👌🏾 Dude lol 😂 Happy Mother’s Day to your mom From Justin Flack

High quality drones with shitty no sound cheap cameras indeed, you'd think there were cameras able to have wind proofing by now.

@@daz3434b So you think the drone is just floating in the air silently? If you heard the audio it would just be the noise from the motors, it has nothing to do with the wind

@@Electronic424 I respectfully disagree. More and more people will own drones and they will be more than happy to send it skyward once they realize how much $$ they can make from the footage.

GOD hath blessed us that none amongst us hath perished! ✝ All obnoxiousness aside, it's great news to hear that no one died from this whirlwind. It's a shame that the houses and community buildings are gone but as long as you are all alive that's the most importing thing that can come out of this disaster.

How did people survive this? Were they not home?

i live here too we just got note from the fire chief and captain Graber on ksn 4 dearth's sadly

@UCufR0nuEeyr74n-19HcZXbQ Prayers for Andover. That breaks my heart to hear.🙏🤍🙏🥺💔

@@Alexander_Tronstad : Basement tornado shelters, probably. And good weather forecasting that sent out alerts telling people to get in them well before this hit.

That’s how a lot of people die I’m sure they watch and are like it’s not going anywhere then the next second it’s going 70 mph right at you

Very odd, most tornadoes will move forward at a fairly steady pace from what I've seen. Never saw one pause like that for a few seconds then speed away like it got spooked or suddenly realized it left the oven on.

@@millertimeast how many died? Any idea?

@@sabishiihito I think most of that is the debris field/rain/condensation around the overall tornado. These micro-vortices are what do the real damage and is why tornado damage can seem so random, as far as I understand tornado dynamics

@@richardv9648 So far, zero. But 4 injured

It's actually the clear air *around* the visible tornado that is the big thing; *tons and tons* of air moving rapidly and with huge force. The visible tornado itself is just a manifestation of the aftermath of the enormous mass of air and wind around it: debris flying into the air or moisture appearing into the low pressure center.

Nice!!!!!

I’d love it if you would get with Reed and produce a video explaining what we’re seeing. This is totally amazing footage and the geeks among us would really love it if someone walked us through.

This is probably the most detailed footage I've seen of the inner dynamics of a funnel cloud --- you can see the multiple vortices and updraft damage on the houses so damn clear it's frightening --- obviously, these 4K drone cameras are worth every penny!

@@fredwerza3478 hear, hear!

Yeah, what he said.🤨

Real to you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥👀🤣 Love from the ill state

Stay safe. That’s awesome footage but sad too.

IT happened so fast... there's no way most people would be prepared for this unless they had a basement. No bathroom is going to save you from that.

Hi Frank that horizon spanning cloud arch in the back ground sky is that a typical sky formation/presentation with tornado activity? Here in New Zealand we have a positive ion charging weather system called a nor' wester denoting the direction from which it emanates. I believe the same wind is called a chinook in Canada and föhn in parts of Europe. But these tend to involve mountain ranges and coast lines. Anyway, take care, FJB & God bless from NZ.

I'm crazy, yes. I'm crazy because I drive. The odds of dying in a car crash are 1:100 and the chance of dying in a tornado is 1:5,000,000. I'd also think it would be much crazier to leave my friends and family to move. Not only because they are the reason I live, but also the fact that I'm more likely to die in that one single car ride moving than here in a tornado. STILL, I understand why you feel the way you do. The 2% of tornado's that are deadly are horrific and my heart melts for their loved ones.

What F rating do you think it is?

@@PanzerBuyer Strong EF3

Unbelievable .

@@PanzerBuyer Its preliminary a high end ef3 could get bumped up to an ef4.

I would say the 4K footage is so good they can do a detailed analysis of debris movement and get an exact wind speed on this tornado

Same,I am blown away, no pun intened ,at the shear power and beauty of mother nature. Its like Shes' saying STOP MESSING WITH ME. STOP POLLUTING THE EARTH OR ELSE!!!!

Hes been doing this for decades, Reed was even on a show called storm chasers on the discovery channel, trust me they already do use his footage, and have been for a long time.

@@angeldogs4ellie I've been a storm chaser for some years now and an a few tornadoes but I've never seen debris like this, thank God. It's terrifying seeing this from such a crazy angle and in 4k.

If you carefully watch the orbit the of debris around the visible tornado it seems to be the actual tornado is a good deal bigger than the condensation funnel would suggest as well. A very very dangerous situation.

@@zelkuta Yes, I agree. That and the fact that there were multiple vortexes rotating around each other on the ground. It was shocking to see houses in front of it, seemingly out of reach, suddenly exploding up into it before the part we could see got to them. This footage will be studied by meteorologists for years.

This is a study for all times thus far. Incredible

@@zelkuta Yes, I noticed that, too! We don't experience tornadic action like that (so far, and don't want any, LOL) where I live but this was an exceptional view of it. Because of this video, I'll definitely try to educate others this simple fact; many tornadoes are a lot like a tip of an iceberg, there's a lot more there then meets the eye!

@@HughLlewellyn there is one vortex. The vortex becomes invisible when it hits place without dust, in this case street. What looks like second vortex is only rotating dust.

@@robertbeard6380 And complete respect to you for you doing so. People in Ireland piss and moan about inclement weather, when it's nothing compared to what these unfortunate folks are suffering. It's good to know there are big hearts out there. 👍

@Buds of Spring I was about to write the same. I have survived two Tornadoes, one in '65, and one while I was golfing in '80 and had no shelter, lucky the last one I was caught standing outside, heard the roar of a train, my Dad beside me, and I said "there's no train tracks within five miles of here", then I took a few steps towards the clubhouse, and I was just surrounded by sepia colored dust, luckily hit with just some twigs but they stung like a honeybee. Maybe it was over us fifteen seconds, seemed like time went into slow motion. The wind was pushing on me from all sides of my body, I felt like I was in a straight jacket. And it was gone, and I looked back at my Dad, who was staring in another direction--the golf course's tallest tree, about 75 feet with a trunk four feet thick, was broken at its base like a toothpick, about 30 yards away from me. 45 minutes prior to all that, there was not a single cloud in the sky, the forecast only called for "unsettled weather". The course was crowded on the first nine holes, we were teeing off for the tenth hole, but thinking of calling it a day because the other golfers wanted to rush our game, so they could play thru. Twenty minutes after the Tornado went thru, which only stripped some shingles off of the clubhouses and toolsheds, in a light mist, with the greens of four holes caught in the path of the Tornado covered with twigs, my Dad and I looked at each other, and finished our round of golf, everyone else was scared off the course, except for the owners, who knew us well. I picked up the nickname "Elijah", though I was not carried into the heavens by the F0.5 Tornado, small as it was, my Dad said the funnel enveloped me and he did not expect to see me standing where I was. Natural disasters are not beautiful--the only beauty I have found, since I have been in a half dozen good earthquakes and one hurricane, is that I and those near me survived, and listened to me when I told them how to take shelter.

There is nothing beautiful about this demonic thing

they did.. but EF4 is just amazing fot middle Europe. That day was very special. To be honest, all week was very stormy. Everyday SQUELLS, derechos... and the last day od the week was the most interesting. Many SCs, the highest level of warning, large hails, severe wind gusts and one of the most powerfull tornado in Europe in the last several years. That day was explosive.

So you're an expert now?

@@stellviahohenheim wow, another Trump troll here! Keep taking your meds. LOL

A new era in twister footage with all these drones everywhere. I saw a video similar to this one a couple weeks ago by a drone. Gonna see a lot more of these eventually.

I was watching from a point near the Whitewater River and could only make out there was a tornado until it got north of Central and east of Andover. I was nervous and this video shows that the funnel itself isn't always visible, it could be building right above you and not see it.

@@dpflack1744 Not like this. I watched the '91 tornado but from a two mile distance. It was much different.

Ever heard the expression, "the calm before the storm"? It IS usually dead still.

Ever heard of image stabilization?

Yes! Like citizen scientists and nature data collection ☺️ If multiple sources are recording the tornado the data can be combined to better understand the nature of those weather patterns, like Twister but with a tech update 😁🤖🚀

Mate its a tornado not a hurricane course it’s going to be stable it was nowhere near it to disturb the stability of the drone

This will be the future of storm chasing

It's scary af to think a person inside the house can get sucked up as high as those roof sections 😳

I was thinking that was the weirdest tornado I've ever seen. You're right, its the lack of rain.

You are right, Dr, Fujita would have loved it. I spent a summer with him in Alabama looking for storms back in the 1980s, We never saw anything good, maybe one strong Micro-burst.

While watching I was thinking the same thing. How this commonplace technology would have smacked meteorologists on the side of the head just a decade or two ago.

The drone is far enough away that it's in calm/stable air. This is common outside the immediate vicinity of the vortex.

Mr. Tornado saved many lives with his discovery of what a Tornado was fully capable of doing to a community. He broke those Tornadoes down to where you could better understand their capabilities. That's what he devoted his life to do. Saving lives from a disaster with the force to pick up a house, and fling it for a couple of football fields.

Yeah it's hella scary when a tornado is whipping around deadly winds but you can't see it yet because the debris field hasn't developed

Would you all believe me if I told you nobody died in this shit.

HAARP. Notice it missed the 99% of raw land behind it. Same as the holiday farm fire in Oregon in 2020, along with all the other fires that broke out that night between CA and WA. Windiest day on record but the hotspots of all the fires were connected on radars in a perfectly straight line

Yea I have watched it several times and every time is just as stunning as the first. The speed and the ferocity is unimaginable.

Right. Why risk your life when you could just get a long range drone and get better footage? I understand there is a drone license that's required but it's really not too difficult to get from what I understand.

Yes...like just because it doesn't look like it is connected to the ground...doesn't mean it isn't! I have seen this live twice and if you didn't look down or had a grove of tree's in the way you might have reported rotating funnel/stove pipe cloud but unsure if it touched down...in the first instance, 10 mins later I drove to the neighbor's to check on them to find they lost half their cows...literally didn't find them for a couple hours...as other neighbors inspected for damage and losses they reported having x amount of cows added to their herds...not a fence was damaged and the cows were returned...bruised, minor cuts but none were perished or unfit to milk that night. The other twisted our railroad crossing 180 degrees and twisted 1 brand new trailer house to make it look like a spiral, one end still tornado strapped to the ground the other sitting on the leveling blocks but on it's side...the wrought iron steps still in there spot along with a cheap plastic Walmart kiddy pool with water still in it...but the cement bird bath was on top of a garage half a block up the tornado path...it was just bizarre the weird things that happened...that you always hear about and nod to while saying yup, uhhuh, ok, sure in your head...
