We live about 10 minutes from Joplin it got kinda scary when we heard there was another tornado to north of the city. Thankfully it passed Joplin from Jefferson City got hit pretty bad to
I must have been right next to you around the 15 second mark. I got some good video from the parking lot of the baseball field and then caught back up with it on 37 south of Golden City and got some great stuff when it was a big stovepipe. This was a wicked storm
I remember that day! My mom lives right to the south of where you stopped by the Airport! The weird part about that day was the sirens in Joplin went off and where I lived, on the SW part of Joplin was clear and blue skies!! I remember thinking what is going on? Oronogo and Webb City had lots of damage to the north! My mom was fine! Now the Joplin tornado in 2011, I still live in the SW part of Joplin and that tornado passed our home a few blocks away! Thank goodness we have a full basement and safe room which I was in that day! But I’ll never forget that sound or how dark it got!! A very sad day for Joplin!!
Unfortunately, those pair of EF3's that hit from Miami, OK-Golden City, MO were precursors to a high-end EF3 that hit the state capital of Jefferson City around 11PM-Midnight with an unbelievable debris ball.
Umm...u do realize that they literally can make tornados happen when and where they want to right??so it shouldn't really boggle the mind anymore!!🤔🤔😂😂
Night tornados are the scariest. Amazing work with the photography timed with lightning. Curious how much it would have helped to play with contrast settings on the video to see them better? Also have been seeing some chasers lately recording with night vision. Amazing difference. Great video guys, thanks for sharing.
This Tornado started to the Northwest of Miami, Oklahoma, and moved Northeast towards Galena and Baxter Springs. Near Galena it sort of roped out a regenerated (remember that) and moved over about 2 miles out of Joplin through Carl Junction. Towards Jasper, it roped out and again, regenerated near Golden City and Golden City was hit worst. After Golden City, the tornado died down for 3 hours (it became a funnel) and regenerated 5 miles outside of Jefferson City. Jefferson City was a direct hit and was hit the worst. This was 12:45 a.m when the tornadic activity then died down. Technically since the same Tornado touched down 4 times, it traveled 188 miles. Sadly, 3 deaths happened in Golden City, but there were 10 - 15 injuries
Great video. Hair-raising watching all the chasers out there, it was such a soupy mess. Not good chasing conditions, at all. Pretty much the worst, actually, other than at night. Glad you guys are alright, and hopefully your next chase has much better visibility conditions.
I see on www.weather.com that you guys are STILL under the gun when it comes to severe weather outbreak. Stay safe y'all!! Greetings from Pennsylvania. Thanks for the video!! I subbed!!
Great question! Tornado have captured my interest since I was a child, and inspired me to follow a career in meteorology. While I love weather forecasting in general, forecasting and observing tornadoes is still the thing that captures my childhood fascination. The real world is my laboratory. I can't observe and study tornadoes in a lab, the only way to truly witness them is to go out like this and attempt to forecast and track them down. Hope that helps! It's pure fascination.
@@AndrewPritchard Well that is awesome that you get to do something that you really want to! Just please be careful and safe while chasing tornadoes!! Thank you for replying back to me. :) You are getting really good footage of them!! 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️🌞
I live in NW Arkansas where the storm was extremely close to hitting us, I remember staying up all night just watching endless tornadoes touch down. Very sad and scary night, will not be forgotten.
yes very sad, they lived off of hwy 126 that leads into town, the town itself didn't get hit! my mom lives in Golden City and they just lost power! Sad Sad
I am in Jeff City myself, and the lady that lives next door works at the Toyota Dealer that got hit, the whole business Is totaled, all 600 cars have been totaled by the insurance, service shop is gone! missed us by a mile
