TOP WEDGE TORNADO INTERCEPTS of the last 20 years! 30 minutes of insanity 

"as soon as you see that inflow get close, back up " 1.5 secs later " BACK UPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!" 1.5 secs later "ok stop" .45 seconds later " BACK UPPPPPP!!!!!" lmaoooo

Say what you want about Reed Timmer's yelling, at 11:35 he was SPOT on his calls and got tracked the tornado's movement perfectly, as well as had compassion about the house being destroyed. The man is a total professional who knows what he is doing.

Pecos Hank: "You can see the smaller, evil tornadoes inside the larger one" This guy: *Literally sprints toward a F5 tornado on foot with no clothes on.

I'm gonna guess this was Alex's last chase with Reed.

WARNING: DO NOT DO WHAT REED IS DOING AT 14:40.

6:50 Some say Alex is still shook up from that tornado

The el reno tornado had some of the most dynamic structure. It didn’t even really resemble a tornado at times

Watching this makes me really appreciate Pecos Hank.

I've added alot of tongue-in-cheek comments over the years about the energy these teams exhibit in comparison to folks like Hank, who's a friend, but I have to say, there's something special about Reed's longevity, his ability to stay on point in his chases, and the amazing footage he provides us with year after year... maybe I'm getting old and mellow, but, he's pretty effin' awesome... screaming / yelling or not.

Reed when he's on the phone: okay guys be careful this is a big tornado everyone needs to be safe and keep away. Reed when he is just with the crew: KEEP GOING... INTERCEEEEPT... WAIT STOP... WAIT GO... WAIT STOP...

Reed Timmer's guide to tornado types: Wedge Large wedge Massive wedge MONSTER WEDGE THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! HUGE WEDGE ON THE GROUND!

"This is a tornado we do not want to interept" *Proceeds to intercept*

Sure Reed is loud and all but he sure does get really good shots of tornadoes. I honestly appreciate the work he does to show us what power tornadoes have.

RIP To my favorite storm chaser Tim Samaras. El Reno 2013

I’m sorry Reed but there’s no way in hell I could work with you, you would stress me out more than any tornado ever could.

There is nothing more calming than watching tornadoes while you’re going to sleep or at night 😂

A lot of people talking shit about Reed. Everybody has their own style folks. That's the beauty of the internet, you don't like something you can watch something else. I always look at Reed as high energy and somebody that truly loves what he does. There's nothing wrong with that. It's always been a dream of mine to go out and chase tornadoes. Hopefully, I can cross it off my bucket list sometime. Keep doing you Reed, you put your all in it and it shows.

Who is louder? A big Wedge-Tornado or Reed Timmer? 😂

Reed should have like 8 more energy drinks before he goes out and tries to kill everyone.

the beginning of the reno tornado is some of the coolest footage ever, watching all those vortices dance around each other and combine into the monster of destruction

"Listen... you can hear it roar!" NO I CAN'T BECAUSE YOU ARE SCREAMING!

I totally miss Team Twistex with Tim & Paul! SM

0:55 That's the dead man walking. I've pointed it out before, but I can't watch your clip without immediately thinking of it, and the three unfortunate souls it took with it. Stay safe, Reed. Know I'm along for the ride.

You guys gotta understand Reed, he knows tornado psychology. So when he yells and screams he's actually scaring it away. Reed just asserts his dominance over the tornado. 😎 Proof: 16:29 it actually runs away from Reed when it was just coming at him 😲 If he could he would probably wrestle it into submission if it would let him get close enough. But seriously Reed is a legend and I know I've never seen someone have such raw passion and emotion when it comes to chasing storms.

LOL Reed always took risks, but incredible footage and damn that is loud (I don't mean the tornado)

Idk why everyone is hating Reed, he help save lives by giving feedback to TVN, and broadcast what’s on the ground, sure, he’s loud, but it’s part of excitement and doing what he enjoys, I’d happily chase with Reed if I could, regardless of his noise level, I also get excited by tornados and severe weather, I’m also quite the noisy person when overwhelmed with weather, Reed is an idol. I appreciate his time with storm chasing and giving advice, feedback to help prevent any lives lost. And I also appreciate his passion as well, not just for tornados and supercells, but hurricanes, lightning, hail, floods, and more. He’s inspired me since I was at a young age, I’ve started following my dreams of being a storm chaser, to help protect those in the path of these beasts of nature, and give advice to the civilians and news reporters, not just for fun and money, but passion too. His yelling gives me the vibes he feels, and the passion to continue watching, it even gives me adrenaline. Reed is so far one of the only experienced storm chasers left along with Pecos Hank,I don’t know what happened to Sean Casey and his crew... I don’t take it for granted, because there could be any day, any time he could be taken from us too, like the past crew, such as Matt Hughes, Tim and Paul Samaras, Carl Young, Richard Henderson,Joel Taylor... R.I.P to those stunning people, I now appreciate and love Reed more then I have lately, I pay my respects to all those in the past and present & future. Stay weather sabby Reed :) keep chasing and following your passion ❤️

Way too close those tornadoes, one day luck will run out like has other chasers who play in the bearcage.

Gosh Reed, you’re so needy sometimes. “STOP! STOP IMMEDIATELY!”

At 22:24 and for the next 2 minutes, the surface level in-flow on the right side is simply amazing. Looks like smoke getting sucked in.

28:30 "it's just rear inflow jet." Bruh, that where the strongest winds in a tornado come from gtfo of there. They got lucky.

Reed...LOVE the memories of these intercepts! Epic, thank you!😉👏 -Morgan from NC

Great video Reed, You have a passion for tornadoes that's 2nd to none. Be safe out there.

What I learned from this video: Alex does not like chasing tornadoes.

FYI: If it looks like it's not moving, it's moving right towards you.

Chasing tornadoes in general is obviously very dangerous, sure you can slim your chances by being more cautious but possibly losing your life just comes with the territory. Reed is passionate about what he does let him do it how he wants. If you don't like the screaming & constant talking then watch someone else. I personally like it bc it's real. I'm sure if it were you in that situation, you'd act the same way. Keep pushing Reed! There's plenty of us out here that genuinely enjoy your content. Thank you for all that you've done & are going to continue to do! 💖

I’ve always been fascinated with storms and for a long time I wanted to go to college for radar and field meteorology at OSU but I’m a high school senior and I just don’t have the money now but hopefully one day I can

I wonder if that was my cousin's house that went poof in the Manchester tornado. They lost everything except the clothes they were wearing. Their house was on a slab and they had an in-ground storm shelter. When they came out of the shelter the slab was all that was left. Their house, a car, 2 trucks, 2 outbuildings, and a barn were just gone.

Being yelled at “stop” “in reverse” “go” at the top of their lungs would make me walk in the tornado to get away from that.

12:29- the way that house just practically disintegrates- amazing

There is no way I would be able to drive the chase vehicle, because my hands would be firmly around the neck of whoever is hysterically screaming!

Good god why is that dude screeching about being safe when you’re literally in the inflow and right beside the beast that could grow or swing your way any second? Yikes.

“Please, just trust me. We’re fine!” Turns into “Back the fuck up!” Brutal.

Nice job! I would want someone calling the shots and yelling during a tornado chase because I imagine the wind is very loud and everyone needs to be on the same page. Keep up the good work! Best video I’ve seen to date on RU-vid!

Big fan of reed. Nearly finished reading his book and seeing these videos for the first time has made me realise he's as accurate at story telling as he is at chasing tornadoes. Excellent work, never stop chasing 👍

I just LOVE in his description “if you’re sensitive to yelling, go check out a calmer weather channel” You tell them trolls Reed! Haha. Never tell someone that they’re in the wrong when they’re passionate in what they’re doing.

11:29 - 11:39 lol. But seriously, if it looks like the tornado is not moving, odds are it's coming right at you

The 1999 cam quarter footage has been the first torando footage I've ever seen that made me feel like I was there. Thank God you and the other people were safe underneath the overpass.

Incredible footage! Thanks for sharing!

No matter how many times I watch the genesis and evolution of the El Reno tornado, it always amazes me. It's like something otherworldly or out of a sci fi movie.. absolutely insane. Crazy footage too.

That El Reno footage is crazy! I’ve watched hours of footage from that day, but I’ve never seen anything this close up. This was almost like being inside the funnel. I’d be willing to bet that the only people who got a better view than this one died that day.

Wow. Reed your footage has become next level. Amazing footage since your 1st years. Wow.

Love your videos Pecos! You are so MUCH better than a lot of chaseres!!! Your passion for chasing and for your wild friends!! All off the people you run. Into! I loveyour music!!!! Itmakes me cry!

I love Reed's enthusiasm, it makes me laugh often! Baseballs!!!! 😂

13:42 THATS A FRICKIN F5 !

Absolutely incredible footage!

You may be the best youtube thing to watch now! Insane!

At 8:17 he said "oh I'm in heaven" Me: well it looks like Hell to me🙆!!!😂

RIP Tim samara 1957-2013 you will be our best chaser of our TV show on Discovery, Reed Timmer please make a new series for Discovery or a rerun Vintage TV shows needs to come back.

I love your old school stuff the most. It's such a rush to watch your fearlessness with some of these big boy tornado's. Love your work keep it up. 👍👍👍

Awesome video reed, but I have to say you make me jump sometimes when I’m watching the tornado and hear “BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!”

"its almost stationary right now guys its okay" ANY semi intelligent storm chaser knows that if the tornado doesn't appear to be moving... I T S C O M I N G T O W A R D S Y O U.

You watch I bet Alex is a regular storm chaser now. Once you get a taste of it you can’t stop no matter how terrifying

Seeing Reed chasing back then is surreal. Watching loads of tornado videos. Loving this compilation guys❤❤

Awesome video

Reed Timmer. met you in person. shook your hand amazing person.

10:30 imagine if the car turned off at that moment😂

Watching Reed timmer videos is my perfect morning coffee. It wakes me up good! I set his videos as my alarm clock

whats awesome is he could have thrown in even more wedge tornado intercepts here. Like Bennington, KS 2013 or luther, OK 2013 or that one canada tornado from 2015 in manitoba. This dude will be a legend forever.

Dominating as usual, Reed. Keep up the great work Chasing these monsters! SM

4:50 nothing like a tornado that's been so successful, it's deciding to open a franchise!

HEY REED I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MAN!!! IT TAKES BALLS OF STEEL TO DO WHAT YOU GUYS DO!!! YOUR HONESTY REALLY BRAVE AND EDUCATED! I HOPE TO SEE MORE CONENT IN THE FUTURE BROTHER!!! GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE MAN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

Congrats Reed!! Never stop chasing!

It's hard for me to watch this knowing what was about to happen to three people who had no idea what they were actually up against.

Reed you need to respect the people that are in your car. I don't care how famous or smart you are or what diplomas or degrees you have. Messing with a tornado that size and Alex is totally the smart guy in the car then at 31:32 you go freaking the heck out like you usually do. Maybe you don't mind being reckless but the people in your car are your responsibility. One of these days someone is going to get hurt. I used to be a big fan until I realized all the hype around your shows tornado chasers and such caused a lot of people to become storm chasers and you being reckless i fluenced this new breed of storm chasers that I believe influenced that el Reno tornado where the streets were so blocked by extreme storm chasers instead of professionals lead to several getting boxed in when the tornado changed directions. I learned a lot watching your channel but I don't like that you all disregarded this guys wishes and put him danger.

great work

Just subscribed. I watched most of the "Storm Chaser" series on DISCOVERY CHANNEL. But I REALLY WISH you would show more of the data from those parachute drone shots from the past. Please consider showing some charts. Have you ever recovered any of the drones? If so how far from the deployment site ect ?

Wedges are the best. The leading edge is the test. Reed Timmer goes west to the treasure chest of wedges lol.

9:24 "were Ok, it's going to pass in front of us" 11:30 "BACK THE F*CK UP!!!!!!!!!"

Wow- I actually lived through the may 3rd 1999 one, it's one of my earliest memories if not earliest since I was only around 2 years old- it's so strange, this is my first time seeing it with my own eyes. I didn't understand what was happening at the time or what a tornado even was all I remember is the fear and devastation and since then I've been both terrified and wildly interested in tornadoes. They give me anxiety but I can't help but watch, but it's crazy when I seen that footage I suddenly felt super on edge when I've seen so much of your other amazing footage so when I went to look back at what event it was it was shocking to find that I think my body remembered even if my mind didn't

Mr.T..... That was a kick-ass vid comp....Your a crazy brave man Sir.....

Last words of tornado chaser: "It's not moving at all, it's just getting bigger". LOL. 23:00

1:34 R.I.P little bird

This about gave me a heart attack! Excellent, Excellent video. Lots of brave guys following these storms.

Thanks for sharing..be safe out there..💯👍👍

Awsome. I have to see a tornado some day its a dream of mine.

The screaming, the loudness, the endless noise! Tornadoes sure knows how to be loud!

Reed: Sees multiple vortex tornado Reed: "VIOLENT WEDGE! VIOLENT WEDGE ON THE GROUND!"

Nice tornado video

From 5:45-12:35, that one guy Alex is the most sensible there and deserves more respect from his crew members. He isn't a war dog or soldier, so he shouldn't be shouted at to do things. Furthermore, he appears to be the driver, so they should really be respecting his decisions as he can easily turn the car around and end their careers (by not reporting the tornado). Alex is the real MVP and I hope he lives the longest.

Is Sam Kinison in the car with you?

Amazing

That was freaking awesome

I'm thinkng about going to school for this I've always been terrified of storms but also enamored and very interested and I've gained a lot of knowledge just from being afraid of them and I'm ready to face the beast. I wanna be a storm chaser

Amazing to see some old footage!

Reed really has been on scene for some legendary tornados. His instincts are pretty spot on...and his dedication to drive like an android

Wow that's incredible!!!

I was down there that day it was amazing but deadly R.I.P twist ex.....

is there a reason chasers die? yes. yes there is.

This is CRAZY!!!! LOVE IT!!

The description says the June 17, 2010, Minnesota wedge was included in this video, but I didn't see it. I'm guessing that it was accidently left out, or the date and name is supposed to be the Manitoba or Nebraska wedge clip.
