Terrifying Dash Cam Tornado Footage From Lincoln, Nebraska 

Brought to us by AccuWeather, who accepts video's from people who experience weather related disasters. I like it! The video speaks for itself.

I'm so sick of clickbait.Anyone who clickbaits is someone that cant be trusted in anything esle.

Wow! You can almost feel the amount of pressure being emitted by that tornado!

Check out Ryan Hall y'all, he is great! They do storm chasing I watch him with the tornado stuff very informative and entertaining

@@Tempe1962 Well said

Look at Joplin

Less than ten seconds

I completely agree. This should play in a small box while a tornado warning is being broadcast.... "this is what we're talking about! Seek shelter now, MEANS NOW!"

What was it made out of? Paper mache?

I like how you said “deleted.”

so move!

@@countermeasuresecurityengi9719 excuse me? I’m not moving away from Nebraska because of natural disasters I can’t control. There may not be too much to this state, but it’s still home to me.

Pretty crazy that you will forget something like this

@@countermeasuresecurityengi9719 This is the dumbest comment I’ve read. I’m not surprised that you don’t know this because you’re not very bright but I’ll tell you anyways…. No matter where you go there are natural disasters!

I wouldn't say it's a building. A proper building can stand up to this and maybe have some damage, but this was a paper house or whatever. It's a joke to me that the government and companies are risking people's lives because of poor construction.

Right? What chances would people in such a building have, for surviving? Quite sobering to see this clip.

lol

I wish I could like this comment twice! I miss the simplicity of the “old days” before everyone became pro videographers with their cell phone cameras or GoPro 🙄

It’s like the news used to be, News and not a narrative.

"YO it's ya Boi MrTwista spinning in with another video for you guys but before we get into the video which trust me guys is absolutely INSANE stuff make sure to like the video and subscribe to the channel to get more crazy tornado vids just like this one. So without further ado guys let's get into today's sponsor..."

Same!!!

Crazy how tornadoes work. Some came across my neighborhood in 1988. Took down trees, sucked manhole covers out of the road in front of the house but, left my folding lawn chair sitting on my deck in the back. Crazy!

I had an early 1970’s VW type-3 square back that had one screw holding the license plate on just like that car. I replaced the right screw three times and it would be gone in a few days. I sold the car, they sold it and I met it again about four years later when yet another bought it and was fully restoring it. It still was missing the right screw on the plate. Through the “Idiot Book” repair book that went with it and the added notes, it was determined it was my former car. We had put it together from a few cars, which explained the confusion when he started to restore it. I told him I gave up on the screw. He had tried in vain. I seen it around town for a long time after and knew it immediately by the wobbling crooked plate. Seeing the one in this video, almost makes me wonder if that’s the great-grand-car of my old car…

I’m going to go ahead and give that rear window of the Toyota Avalon that title. Considering each and every other window in this video didn’t stand a chance 😂

My thought exactly.

Put that on mamas 😂

I couldn't tell if it was the pressure or flying debris that broke the windows.

@@CharlesGervasi Yeah, it was definitely debris! Shit! Imagine getting caught outside in something like this? You'd be torn to shreds!

@@ib1ray It could be both debris and pressure. Because at 1:35 back of that truck window popped out without nothing hitting it.

@@Mike-no6ii well with the amount of debris I saw flying around it could have even been a screw traveling you know 100 maybe 200 mi an hour and I believe those windows are designed to shatter I know the windshields are but I'm not positive about the back ones but either way I certainly wouldn't want to be caught in it lol

@@ib1ray True. That would suck to be caught in it lol

А то, что внутри этого здания были люди.....вам не страшно?

Yeah, that's why it's safest to be underground

Facts on this being quite possibly the best video of a tornado

Man you seem like a real fun person to hang out with.

Amen.

@@tomdiets5079 And you must be a 3 year old

@@tomdiets5079 Looks like more people agree with his comment than yours. Some of these storm chasers can get a bit over dramatic but it helps bring in the simple viewers like yourself and donations.

Agreed, just ominous ambient sound like Clem Shultz' legendary video! He didn't even breathe harder!

Yep. Looks like it was only the top shell though with the condenser fans and motors. Still most likely 500+ pounds being thrown around like nothing.

At first on the thumb nail it looked like a pill blister pack but after watching the video and pausing I realized what it was.

I thought it was a speaker pack or something

off the roof of the building , almost hit the Dakota that is most likely totaled from the other stuff that hit it

Thanks for that. I watched that part a couple of times trying to figure out what it was. It looked like it weighed nothing. It had to have weighed alot, even if it was just the top of it. Kind of like those 55 gallon drums that so easily were flying around. Scary powerful wind!

I could not believe how fast that happened and I don't think I was breathing while watching it.

Americans can't build real houses, just cardboard.

Makes you realize we as men and women aren't so powerful. We can build and make all we want, but it is no match for the weather or God.

That building was built by three pigs, only thinking the wolf was their problem.

@@JoePCool14 "god" come on bruh Ain't no need to pull religion into this

I just noticed… I THINK it hit the front of the truck on the right of the screen when it lands. If so, that poor truck got a bunch of damage that we don’t see besides it’s windows being blown out from the wind alone.

I believe its safe to say it was a fan of the tornado.

Thought that was CGI, the way it just disappeared. Thank you

A coil is a component of a condensing unit. I see an entire unit flying, not just the coil. I feel like an hvac guy should know that. That's like me saying look at the car tire go flying, when it's the entire car...

it was removed so fast it still had refrigerant in it too.

B-b-but hip hop!

@@maxivy 💀👌

Ditto thank you.

No music, no screaming, no broccoli-haired host explaining the clip for 10 minutes before watching it…this is what tornado videos should be.

Agreed!!

For what?

@@Pobsta-de7hb What? Because their plant was destroyed and they don't have a job.

Yup… most companies have business insurance- not just for the damage to the property but also for lost business due to unavailability for a while. Glad everyone is ok

It's crazy the tornado came, took the building, and left. I'm thankful no one was seriously hurt. Still a rough road ahead.

Thanks for the update 😊

Almost exactly what I just said as well. This was perfect!

Check out Pecos Hank. You'll find better. This is for sure S tier though.

Were you rubbing on your nipples during this? You got way excited brother

Yes, please, everybody should put their cameras In the car and go inside so we don't have to listen to your pitiful vocabulary when making exclamations.

Guess you never suffered from them then!!!!

A lot of hook echos, where the vast majority of tornados are formed, tend to be at the trailing edge of the storm.

Same here what a force of nature

Read this as "furry"

My thoughts exactly!!! 😮

That's true. Tornadoes usually pull the cloud cover with them like a blanket. My older relatives who only had radio during storms always said they knew a tornado wouldn't be a threat when it would start raining steadily straight down like normal. A tornado is going to suck cloud cover and rain up into it so rain can't fall normally. A nearby tornado will tend to blow caught-up water _sideways_ in its wake. If it's raining straight down like normal you're usually good - it's when the rain stops suddenly and the air goes still but the clouds are moving fast...that is often a warning signal to take shelter immediately. And that's why you see the videos and tropes of midwesterners walking outside during tornado warnings to look at the sky and get the "feel" whether a tornado is headed toward them or not.

What are the other 2?

There is more of the building left than this angle shows, now it's in terrible conditions but from the road the other walls are up. I was up talking to cleanup crews in our farm fields just north of this just a few hours ago.

Watched it 3 times because I couldn't believe how fast it disappeared.

Tadaaaaa😂😂

I worked with engineers who used to travel to Japan for months at a time. When we had an earthquake where I live -- while I was 50-something flights up -- they fluffed it off, saying buildings are built to sway with earthquakes. Buildings in tornado-prone areas should be built to withstand tornados. 🌪

Thanos

Almost seems fake. Entire building destroyed yet all cars don't even budge?

1:33 to 1:36 slow it down to .25 speed and watch the top right above the silver pickup. That looks like a truck radiator riding the breeze. That's crazy.

@@Daniel-ld3zi You don't know how tornadoes work do you... the cars were not in the path of the tornado while the building was.

@@Daniel-ld3zi It looks like the actual tornado went right over it. If it was 30 feet to the left or right the building would probably still be standing.

@@n3v3rforgott3n9 keyboard warrior over here

You might want to look again, at the cars in the front row specifically.

Yeah, some of those cars did take damage, including that Dodge pickup, that lost its rear and front driver side window

Mass produced cheap buildings. These things collapse all the time and kill the poor amazon, fedex, ups workers working inside. And usually theyre told they cant leave because its safer inside.

The white car up front is not in the same position after the tornado.

Did you notice how the glass of the cars blew in. I presume under the pressure change.

They are not sentient, it didn't select anything lol if it's in the path of the tornado, it gets destroyed.

It doesn't even look like the tornado directly hit the building either. It looks like the building was side swiped by the tornado and still got destroyed 😢😢

How observant.

Agreed!

And probably just watch a bunch of people die.

@@kawasakisean1 drink clorox

Wow I would have thought that warehouse looks like the safest place to be.... it was gone in seconds

I was just going to say the exact same thing. Very easy to see the rotation and the debris moving within it. Very close up. Great stuff.

As a Brit, my knowledge and etc of tornadoes is 0. This is insane !

@@Jacob-qt1nt Yes, London has had tornadoes, including the earliest reported tornado in England in 1091. The 1091 tornado may have been one of the strongest recorded in the British Isles, with modern assessments suggesting it was a T8 on the TORRO scale, which is roughly equivalent to an F4 on the Fujita scale. The last tornado which caused significant damage in London was in 1954. It injured six people and ripped off the roof of the Gunnersbury London Underground station. Rare, but you do get them.

@@bestself2438 interesting, thanks for the info 🤝

This is an advantage of cameras being everywhere now. Eventually somebody is going to have a GoPro on their head and we’re going to watch them get picked up or something.

You must be from Florida. Lol. I am and I said the same thing growing up

I survived a hurricane and was hit with several tornadoes at the same time, that was fun!😁

We just moved to Florida and was told the same thing by my brother who has lived here for over 20 years. He said we'll have plenty of warning to vacate the premises if we want, but it's the tornadoes that spawn from the hurricanes that catch folk by surprise.

I was dead in the middle of hurricane Andrew. the weather instrument on tamiami airport blew off at 200mph and it lasted a long long time. scariest thing I ever lived through. was like being in a tornado for 2 hours. ripped the roof off our apartment. was hiding in the closet waiting to die. they effed up big time telling us it might go to cat 3 and it turned into a cat 5. tornados popping down like a fist punching the earth.

@@pawsforeva4065 I was in a hurricane with tornados. I went into the tornado shelter and the hurricane flooded out the shelter and I died. Luckily my respawn point was up north.

I ain't gotta watch no more tornado vids and wonder....now I've seen all I can see about a tornado 💯🤧

Bro! I was about to say the same thing about the temp plate.

@@Das1Niperthats not a temp plate, thats our ugly ass license plate in Nebraska

Not sure about perfectly fine, 😂 the two silver rides infront of the cam lost their rear windows. Still you are correct, tho its more like 60 feet. :) ...Truely amazing video! ❤

I thought the same!

The dashcam car lost its left side windows and was most likely was a write-off along with all the cars in that parking lot.

@@axiomic well said. File that insurance claim!

Acts of god are typically not covered by car insurance

This tornado looks like it had the strength of an EF-5 but didnt hit any significant structure. The EF-scale is not based on wind speed but on damage to structures and how well-built those structures were.

Are you sure about the steel construction? Sure there was some “steel” and aluminum used in places, but it does not appear to have been made with any significant I beam steel supports.

@@28th_St_Air I do believe you are correct and that's why this tornado wasn't rated EF-4.

God bless you and your sourcing on a RU-vid comment. You are an intellectual.

@@michaelellis5109 That’d be an EFU for “unknown”. I’ll just quote Wikipedia to save time: “Better standardizing and elucidating what was previously subjective and ambiguous, it also adds more types of structures and vegetation, expands degrees of damage, and better accounts for variables such as differences in construction quality. An "EF-Unknown" (EFU) category was later added for tornadoes that cannot be rated due to a lack of damage evidence.” In short, while it’s based on damage due to winds, they can rate it based on said damage to a multitude of things including foliage & vegetation (e.g. an EF5 stripping bark off tree trunks). The purpose of which is to be able to rate wind speed and relative destructive power.

I drove through a large dust devil a few months ago in Western Colorado, and i wish I would of had a dash cam to catch it on video because it was a pretty cool thing to watch, and I don't think I should if drove through it either lol

Fake news media

@@michellem7300 I've read that a few dust devils have done F-3 damage. That also means it could toss a car quite well.

All due respect, dash cam videos are great when they catch something amazing like this, but they don't get the one on one interviews with people making headlines like the news industry does. Let's not dismiss an entire industry and many people's profession just because a parked car happened to catch something fantastic.

@@franclin0 My main complaint iz the stupid big banner at the bottom. They almost alwayz cover significant detailz and action. Tornadoz especially, usually all you can see iz swirling grayness.

wow, good to know, thanks!

Where should one go? If the walls aren’t safe to then the middle but that will be swirling debris and collapsed roof that didn’t blow completely away. If I’m one of these box stores what’s the safest bet to run to?

And thanks for the info btw. I had no idea that’s why they so often are flattened.

@@mmcnatt these buildings have a section that is reinforced. In your employment orientation it probably was mentioned if you work at a Walmart or something. Easy to miss. Ask your supervisor where you should go in case of a tornado warning. Either way find out. Could save your life from building collapse.

I was in a Target once during storm when the sirens went off. They made everyone go to a certain spot in the middle of the store, which I thought was odd at the time because it didn't feel protected. But I guess if the walls can collapse like that it makes sense. I remember they locked all of the doors so no one could leave while it was happening.

The lift and erratic vortices is like one big hand pulling things apart. I could ride a CAT 3 or 4 out with shingles and gutters peeled off, but an EF2 would just rip my roof away in a blink.

I've done both as well... 😂

@@m0ntheg3rs that was handed up on a silver platter

How did they both feel to you??

​@@DreamingWithTheDead666ouch!!!

It's a oddball too. Can't say I've seen one that strong and that small, at least from what we could see. 20 feet made the difference from it destroying everything, to where it looks like you could have stood right next to the filming car

Go Fins!

u never seen the clem schultz fairdale tornado video then, no video can top that

@@itzderrio Will check that out

Yeah, the way that tree immediately snapped at its trunk was something to behold. As a tree person, I can say that thing is so strong. 😮

"Just head into the bathrooms, you'll be safe"

To be fair they kind of can't refuse anything lol. You have the right to leave any job if you really want to

@@MadDogTM Careful, your privilege is showing

You’re safer not to try to go home but to instead go to someplace in an inner area surrounded by cement walls such as a storm shelter, bathroom or basement. He’s not showing his privilege. He’s showing his intelligence. Don’t repeat trendy phrases like you’re a fool. It’s the person who got you to respond in attack like that who is actually hurting you.

An old timer once told me, “there is no safe place in these warehouses, they just want us all in the same spot so they can locate all the bodies quickly and move on, without an expensive, drawn out search and rescue with media coverage” Stone cold truth.

That stuff will get ya every time. Ron White said it best when describing the dangers of a tornado... "...it's not THAT the wind is blowin' !!!! It's WHAT the wind is blowing ! ! "

I work with steel. Everytime we have a tornado drill, I feel it's pointless, because the cinderblocks of our shelter aren't gonna do much against the 10,000 to 20,000 lb coils of steel if a tornado did go through.

I'm getting my flying car, at last!

Just with how fast that building got deleted.

You mean the annoying as fck Dominator 3 team, who yell like bitches the whole time.

There’s a white car in a forward most row just to the left of the main car in our view, but ends up being nearly flipped and rotated about 90°. That one may not be driving condition. Hard to say.

Except for the massive AC condenser that flew off the roof and landed on someone's hood. That one may not be driving condition. Hard to say.

@@gordoeinstein Nah it's probably fine

It seems like it was still safer to be in the cars than the building

@@DugrozReports lot of the cars have a bunch of broken windows. that glass is gonna make an uncomfortable car ride.

they were shaking from getting hit by stuff the dash cam car lost a window ( or more) on the drivers side

I played it 5 times, I'm not entirely convinced this is real and not AI /CGI . I know the tornado happened I just don't know if this is a real video of it, most videos have so much small debris and dirt and the clarity of this is what's doubting me, of course I could be wrong

You'd think being in tornado country, they'd build things to a bit better standards. That building looks like it wouldn't survive a strong windy day, never mind a tornado.

nature demands nothing. It just is.

@gorak9000 Buildings are constructed here to be easy to clean up and rebuild after a tornado because there isn't any practical way to build something that can withstand one directly. Unless something is constructed like a bomb shelter it's going to get destroyed. Even very well built brick or block buildings get wiped out within seconds.

@@gorak9000 The odds of a building getting hit are far less than once every 100 years. To make it 'tornado' proof is next to impossible and would have an enormous cost to even attempt it.

It will go well with the other close calls and direct hits/imtercepts. Let me tell you...there are videos where the storm hits the house of the filmer and some of those direct hots blow this out of the water. TLDR: tornado snobs lol.

@@WeeWeeJumbo That's what it looked like to me too! Glad someone explained what it actually was.

Testament to God was protecting them…

I thought that too

Me too. It almost looked like it swooped around at the last minute and then reversed.

Same here

It’s because all the air was being sucked into it so just before the tornado arrives all the heavy wind is going towards the tornado.

Usually a tornado comes off as a hook to that supercell y are looking at in front of us. That storm you see spawned it but there’s a special section out front of it that forms a hook with the Rostropovich in the curved part.

The future is so bright you gotta where shades?

The large debris swirling around the funnel looked like something out of a movie.

And then the basement floods.😅

I wouldn't live in Tornado alley. Even if you have basement, your whole house is destroyed.

This is why I'm glad I live in Australia, where we don't have these monsters ripping everything to shreds.

@@m6666 however you have lethal spiders, snakes :)

Same here. But was in florida. I was 17. What i cant get passed is the feeling of the atmosphere changing and the buildup to it... The pressure, the sound, the lightning how it became strobe like.... It was night time and thru the strobing the sky being erie green and smelling like hot iron amd how it increased in loudness while the pressure swelled. I didnt hide. I was in fear. I froze. In my fear finally silence and i watched everything around our house look as if it was just as loose at sand being blown off of a table. I was holding my breath and my ears had popped. Just as quick as it came then it was all the sudden just over and it gone past. I still have nightmares about that moment I smell that smell if I see strobe that's immediately what I think of. And then I think about the fact that we were one of only three houses on our entire street that survived we could have been the house that was across the street that I watched more than turn to Ash, it disintegrated. There's no rhyme or reason how it decimates... you just have to count your blessings afterwards that it wasn't you or yours.

Tornado safety? What we just witnessed proves that no measure of "duck and cover" will save you if your workplace has no below ground storm shelter. Even what would have been interior rooms in this building are gone.

@@ryanward8039 One commentor said there were many workers in that building and they all survived. Maybe because there was a basement. Or maybe because they had enough warning time to get out. In a tornado-ridden area, most commercial buildings are required by insurance companies and Building Safety Codes to have basements, and probably fortified ones. They would need to be able to shelter people and also the utility structures, like gas and electricity and water, that we do not want ripped apart and causing more destruction in a tornado, like fires and electrical sparks. Thank goodness, because you are right, nobody above ground level would have survived that.
