Strong tornado from Beryl remnants moves through Mount Vernon, Indiana - drone view 

The beginning of this video is why the NWS says in its Skywarn storm spotting classes to look at what is going on on the ground and not just in the air. If you were just looking at the base of the clouds you would miss the nearly invisible ground circulation and conclude that it is not on the ground yet. Just because the visible part of the condensation funnel hasn't reached the ground doesn't mean it isn't capable of doing major damage. This is another reason why the NWS says in its warnings "do not wait to see or hear the tornado coming, do not go out and look for it." A major misconception that I personally had to overcome when I became involved in storm spotting, and one I'm sure a lot of people have who haven't seen a tornado, is most tornadoes do not look like the classic Wizard of Oz tornado or even the ones in Twister. The only one I have seen so far was so thin and transparent it looked more like an overgrown dust devil than a tornado. By taking spotter classes and watching videos like this one, I've learned that tornadoes can take all kinds of shapes and are not always easy to recognize that they are tornadoes. I really encourage people to take Skywarn classes, they are free and can be found online as well as in person--and it could save your life. Here in Michigan we've had several instances recently where a tornado spun up, did damage, and dissipated before the NWS could issue a warning--one tragically killed a three-year-old child in Livonia. According to Michigan Storm Chasers, this is not uncommon for our state.

This is incredible, Dan!

Wow! That truck making its escape!

Man, Beryl just won't quit with the mayhem. Crazy how many twisters it spawned.

Semi driver at 1:15 just sent it straight through the nader.

Impressive work! My brother works at the Kenco logistics warehouse that you see getting obliterated. Thank God no one was injured.

Im the only one that noticed the Semi Trailer at 1.20 fleeing for his life

I cannot believe how much perspective a drone can provide of a tornado from the air now! Tim Samaras would be so impressed! Well caught Dan and I hope that truck driver is ok!

There are so many tornado videos now there aren't many I can watch once and say "instant classic." This is one of those. I haven't yet seen what AI-powered visual effects they came up with for _Twisters_ , but I maintain that Hollywood has nothing on real-life tornadoes.

That semi at 1:19 was certainly cleared for take-off!! Great work on this video!

Great shot from the Drone, Thank you for the video.

Yikes. Generations of my family there since pre-Civil War. Haven't heard of any injuries, thank God.

Was at the ADM plant which is about a mile from there when it happened, sirens started going off, and wind almost knocked me down and the raid was coming in sideways.

WOW! It has been a while since I have seen any tornado vids from you Dan, but as always, when I do, I am amazed by your chasing skills & videography! Superb! I am hoping & praying that no-one was hurt by this destructive beast!

Wow - a lot to unpack in that footage, Dan - excellent documentation

Your drone footage was terrifying beautiful. Deadly elegance. Amazing video, truly.

Look at all those vortices too!

Wow that thing had horizantle suction vorticies thats insane, nice video!

wow this is fantastic, you can really see evidence of rapid intensification as soon as it was able to condense all the way to the ground. horizontal vortices too!!

Heartbreaking - praying for those who were affected. It was a huge tornado.

Great video-your drone captured the tornado 🌪️ as it spun through mount vernon -I can see the multiple vortices-and you had a close call with the debris blowing around! 😊😊😊😊😊

I just drove through the city of Mount Vernon and seen some of the aftermath. The city was spared from anything catastrophic, for the path of the tornado was just east of city center but the large manufacturing building (seen in footage) has sustained substantial damages. Great video!

Wow Dan, you were right in the outskirts of this beast ofna tornado at the end of the video. Thanks for sharing this awesome intercept video but stay safe.

I cant believe how powerful beryl's remnants were. I havent paid a lot of attention to the remnants of some other hurricanes, but i cant really recall any other hurricane remnants commonly dropping big tornadoes like this through the midwest.

Wow! Nice catch! Stay safe everyone, its not over til its over!

Great footage of this monster😳 I hate that it hit & destroyed😢 Praying everyone was safe🙏

truck driver: "i got a deadline to make"

Can you imagine the screaming that would be going on towards the end of the video if Reed had shot this

One of the best I’ve seen this year, multiple vortices dancing all over the place and the speed at which the main conw rushed forward at one point was actually quit frightening.

Awesome images sir! 2:29 you can see the wall cloud for the next on the right side of rhe screen.

Wow look at it, multiple vortex tornado.

This is not too far from where I live in IN. Great video!

Fantastic shooting, fantastic rotation. And thanks for not screaming like a blithing idiot. Great job Dan!

From Houston to Mt Vernon ,... you are welcome !

Yikes a bit close for comfort! Beautiful yet terrifying images, looked like two vortices in there. The remnants of the hurricane were more than I expected in STL!

incredible footage

Insane footage. I was wondering why the drone was being recalled, but later made perfect sense. Great job!

Fantastic capture 👏 I love how it 1st gathers forth. And morphs.

Amazing video

Incredible footage, Dan! The fluidity of the atmosphere is phenomenal

Great footage! Hope everyone is ok.

Dan you are the man!

Incredible work Dan!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely incredible footage! Great flying!

This video is Amazing!!! Well done!!!!

The zoomed out shot with all the debris in the air reminded me a little of 1999 Moore

Great work Dan !!

Yea, that was a 'strong' cat 1 hurricane. I think they measured 105 wind speed just as it hit. 110 would have been cat 2. Arkansas was under tornado warnings all night. I was in D.C. for Hurricane Floyde a cat 2 that killed 85 in 99' scarry stuff,. I saw one of those big steel newspaper vending machines about 50 pound just take off into the sky landing who knows where. Great video Dan, hope everyone is safe.

Great video Dan.🤘😎

THEN I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying 🌪️ roll.

Wow incredible footage I’m subbing awesome 👏

That is some superior, insane footage! It’s crazy to think that hurricanes do in fact affect states that aren’t near the coast. 🥴

Stunning footage! scary

Great shot man! I love this video 📹!! 😊

I was wondering if hurricanes can create tornados far inland and this answers my question!!

Did you find yourself in the outer circulation of the Tornado? That shifted and travelled very fast. And very large if so.

Reminds me of the 2011 Tuscaloosa tornado but on a smaller scale. Absolutely wicked regardless

Dan you're fabulous - thanks for this monumental footage!! We love you!

Just Wow!

Incredible footage Dan, great work.

That debris shroud was massive, and you were in it! Great video!

Amazing footage, this is just insane!

Awesome video

Great video!!

0:57 There's an ancient account from I think Britain, somewhere around the 1000's I think, that talks about a tornado as if it were Satan riding a black horse. That always confused me, but maybe i get it now. Emerging from the left side of the storm. What an image.

The drone changed the game amazing footage womder if we ever see one fly inside tornado. I mean reeds already shooting rockets in tornado like movie twister😅

Very fortunate positioning, it basically moved right around you in an arc.

Impressive. How fast would you say it was traveling?

Great footage as always. Crazy all that debris. Do you know if there were any injuries? Praying for those affected.

dan you are insane this is incredible.

Wow, great video, without stupid yelling such as reed timmer does, always wants to be in front. This is way better❤ than

Omg my nephew got out just in time . I feel bad for everyone that’s going thru it right now

You’re a boss, Dan!

Quality catch, Dan!

man I havent seen you chase since el reno, I hope had fun chasing again. Right do I need to take the night off again to help my neighbors that is the question

Glad i live more northern.

Incredible footage.

This was the outbreak spawned by Berly. Look at how the tornado throws debris.

Frightening. We just had Beryl down here, but that twister is nasty! Looks way worse than what happened here.

Nice.

I wonder if we would have gotten more/stronger tornadoes if Beryl had been even stronger?

Terrific/Terrifying - Have re-watched several times to allow for viewing different areas in the video each time- Full Screen mandatory, imo.

Amazing video. What drone do you have?

That's my home town. My homie J. Robb filmed footage very similar to this.

2 And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying 🌪️ roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

That straight shot down the road as the tornado was crossing reminded me of El Reno a little, gotta say.

That’ll be fun combining those bean fields.

Bro was flooring it 1:19

That was looking scary a few times.

Excellent coverage I hope you sold it to the local news (part 107) question what Drone were you flying?

Where about we’re watching it from? I’m from mount Vernon less then 2 miles away 😮

lol standing inside the debris field, wild

You all be careful out there.

Any known injuries or fatalities?

Def an ef2+

Did anybody spot the truck flying by?

That truck got out of there just in time.

Drone run out of battery?

Lucky trucker!
