Tornadoes from Below and Above 

R.I.P. Tim Samaras, condolences to your family, friends, and fellow storm chasers who looked up to you. God bless you and the work you've done for your community.

RIP Tim Samaras and the rest of team Twistex.

The instant I saw Tim, my heart shattered. RIP Twistex team :c

RIP a true storm chasing legend

Kind of like a punch in the gut to see Tim Samaras

Still can't believe Tim is gone.

He's the reason I wanted to start storm chasing. May 31, 2013 is a day I will never forget. Rest in peace Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras, and Carl Young. :(

Rest in Peace Tim, Paul, and Carl... your legacy continues.

Hard to believe this video was posted just a month and week before Tim's death to the El Reno tornado. R.I.P.

I found this a little hard to watch, knowing what happened to Tim Samaras on May 31, 2013.

This video was uploaded to YT only a month before Tim died in El Reno. R.I.P.

RIP Tim. Killed in El Reno EF5 shortly after this video was put out. RIP to his son Paul, and their friend and coworker, Carl Young, as well.

Rest in peace Tim Samaras. We'll miss you dearly.

RIP Tim, he only died a little more than a month after this video was uploaded.

RIP Tim, Paul and Carl! Sad day in the storm chasing world!

i was expecting picture from above a tornado, not a documentary of a tornadoe

RIP TIM SAMARAS

Rest In Peace, Tim Samaras. November 12th, 1957 -- May 31st, 2013 Major contributions to Meteorology, Bombogenesis (spawning of t-storms), and Tornadogenesis.

Rest in peace Tim! Least you went out DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.

rip tim samaras! im so sad he is gone! i hope he helped people and didnt die for no reason!

RIP Tim and may God Bless your family.

It's pretty sad that he was killed. But he contributed to society in a way that many of us can't even imagine...

RIP TIM

RIP Tim and Paul Samaras

When a video first comes out, if it has an inordinate number of views all at once, the counter stops updating visually after 301 until the traffic dies down. The reason for this is that the views are coming in so fast that to query the number of views it every view would actually overload and slow down the servers.

I'm basically inspired by his safety from these types of freak nature, I heard about what happened to Tim and its heart breaking, may those RIP and our hearts with with them

we need more scientist that think like this, not ones that think like hondac55.. as another nod to you asking a very fundemental and very honest, and well thought question. Please keep asking these type of questions and try to find answers to them in our known world and understanding of physics and physical properties. People like you will hopefully and probably make this world have a brighter future. Some people suggest using tornado power, if you will the effects that create tornadoes normally

Radar Technology has certainly advanced since this video was made.

makes me wonder if the tornado states should look into wind power. It'd be incredibly cost effective for them and reduce the probability of tornadoes, and therefore reduce damage costs.

this video was uploaded on my birthday

as a nod to you sir and your idea, this is currently in development. Its currently been shown in lab scaled down versions of tornadoes that dry ice and water will drastically hinder a tornadoes ability to move through that area that is surrounded by dry ice and water combination, it lowers ground temperature, and by doing so weakens the tornadoes ability to move through the area. Also weather machines could do, and have been physically hypothetically capable of perform similar feats.

Hi...Great video, thank you for making time to put this great video out...A.J.

Well i saw my computer's monitor start shaking, the chandelier was moving around etc, doesn't that count as seeing the earthquake?

i think the best solution is to just build homes a bit differently. its so ridiculous that they build weak cheap wooden homes without basements that any tornado can easily destroy in areas where tornados are common, and when a tornado rips it apart they build the same cheap wooden craphomes again. It would be expected that people adapt after centuries of storms, like it is in Germany: Strict building codes, and preferred building materials are brick, stone, and steel concrete.

And could tornado's be triangulated using radio Interferometry in real time, a new use for old AM towers?

I remember listening to my car AM radio (off station) when a local tornado outbreak happened, the static was continuous. It sounded more like a hiss (coronal discharge), than occasional crackling ...coincidence? Can we detect them this way?

one thing ive noticed in my amateur storm chase endevours is where there is lightning, there is hail. where there is hail, theres an updraft. where theres an up draft, i look on my radarscope in velocity mode looking for any sign of rotations, then i drive to it lol ive been told lightning only happens in storms that have ice crystals in them, hense the hail. i always looks for storms with hail in them and catcg a few with wall clouds as they rotate faster. the thing is, why do storms rotate? what makes one storm rotate and the one next to it not rotate? sure, wind shear contributes but does an updraft contribute as well? i think of it like a bottle of water, flip it and it gurgles empty. flip it and whirl it a couple times and turns into a whirlpool like tornado in a bottle. this man died trying to find out more for science. many more will come to find the answers this man died looking for. someday we will know all that needs to be known. sacrifices will be made, but answers will come forward

My avatar is a gerbil, not a hamster, and they apparently fixed the subtitles. They were originally random characters, very few of them were actually letters.

RIP Tim Samaras and the Twisted team

RIP Tim you are missed ..

Great video thank you. Living in a tornado state (Indiana) I will respect the GEOS satellites a little more now...

Rip Tim Samaras

I thought I always wanted to see a tornado, then I did see one. I was not excited. I was terrified.

If we cant predict them efficiently... Can't we somehow change the incoming direction of the wind.. and prevent the tornados attacks... ??

Its like the surfer catching that once in a lifetime killer wave.

No i live in a small mountain town there are no tsunamis here. And i've not heard of anyone being eating by a swarm of locusts. But i've seen one earthquake in my lifetime, it was pretty weak though.

RIP Tim Samaras, died doing what you love. :(

great video

RIP Tim, Carl and Paul

The white car you see in the beginning of this clip was crushed like baking foil after being flown through the air for over half a mile. Everyone inside died - along with two flung out, a mile apart.

R.I.P. Tim :(

no i am not talking about changing the direction of tornadoes.. i am saying that if we can somehow make some changes in the direction of winds coming from south near the ocean. so no tornadoes will form in the tornado alley in the first place... atleast we can try to minimize the tornadoes occurrence..!!

by that calculation the amount of energy required to create a new jet stream, not even change the course of one is 7.5 TW - 1700 TW of energy, to change it or alter it would be much lower. Also note that the power to send a person to the moon total is 5.984*10^7 J 59840000 joule of energy not to much when considering a jet stream i suppose but that was done back in 1969... so humanity has had the power for quite some time, in fact some researchers suggest we have already altered the jets stream

Awesome!

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of global warming. Yes, the sun gives us most of our energy. The problem is CO2 *traps* that energy from being radiated back into space as it normally does.

rest in peace twistex team :( clicked on this hoping to see a tornado from above, not to cry

Wow! Interesting.

spacerip dude rules!

tornadoes are pretty scary, good thing they dont occur where i live

RIP Tim Samaras.

wow, life is short people......this fellow died a month and maybe 6 days after this video was posted.....give people their roses while they are still here to smell them......spread love not hate, 1 day your here and the next day your gone!

neat video,,

And what you just described is known as a free energy device - which also does not exist, and never will exist, because it is physically impossible.

4:18 white 99 to 05 Buick century spotted....of course it would survive a twister..... i love my 99 century....needs an other 100 hp (aka, a regal with a 3.8 supercharged v6) ....but solid as a rock

RIP Tim Samaras

RIP Tim.

I wish here in California that we had 15 minutes before an earthquake struck!!! Boy let me tell you that would save a lot of lives!!! We don't get any warning at all, the earthquake just hits!!!!!

1:03 the Ed surface arrow is pointing right at elreno

Enjoyed watching the video. Would have had the guy speaker out of view though.

Amazing

as a way to create energy from heat given off of solar panels, or other things that cant readily use the heat energy that is lost when creating electricity, some of the energy lost through heat can be recaptured in a tornado simulator providing all that hot air is pooled in a containment field, if you will, that will create the vortex, and then other machines will capture the wind energy. Maybe who knows what the future really holds. I like to think positive

Now, try to imagine the power that would be needed to change the direction of a GODDAMN JETSTREAM and try to fathom any way possible to create that power.

@cris33311 that won't work because the houses are pulled away from the surfaces maybe if the walls are really thick with a hard material it could work.

The horizontal rolls are always there the higher the more powerful

Interesting.

subtitles are damaged

Didn't Bill and Jill figure out how Tornadoes work with Dorthy in Twister????

the original subtitles were all random characters... they've since fixed the subtitles

Florida is humid as shit, but I wish i was on the beach

Thankfully we had you here to explain that to us! I was so confused before, I was busy trying to listen to that pagan-embracing, satan-worshipping Science but it was much too difficult -- thank you for enlightening me by disregarding any and all cognitive processes :)

haha that made me lol irl :D But what if you are on a helicopter that flies low and suddenly an earthquake appears, you can see everything below you shaking but you cannot feel it yourself because you are on the helicopter, wouldn't that be seeing an earthquake?

Is there bigger tornadoes on different planets?

Captioning on that video isn't correctly working.

Rip tim samaras

reddish tornado at 0:06 is probably in the Southern Hemisphere

Ah, sorry. Most of the time when people mention 301 views, they're confused about it...

It just Haunts me.

Both are correct.

That's methane, but it's not a bad idea. Would it be done with a series of hoses that attach to your mouth?

I remember our Tuscaloosa tornado 😖

Rip tim samarus:'(

Following their passion: Storm chasers Tim Samaras (right), his son Paul Samaras (left) and Carl Young (second left) were killed on Friday (31 May 2013) by a tornado. All were killed one month after this video was posted.` A lot of people were killed in their vehicles that day, running from the twisters and being trapped in traffic jams, and running off broken bridges, blinded by horizontal rain.

Really? Did you REALLY just suggest changing the direction of tornadoes? Do you understand what kind of power you would need to change the direction of a jet stream?

whats with the ‘s for ?

r.i.p tim samaras and is Twistex Team

they are awesome to watch but i feel a bit guilty when i see the death and distructtion they leave behind

RIP TWISTEX CREW!

"301+ views" Hehe RU-vid owning up to the truth :D I've loved natural disasters since I was a little kid. Seeing a tornado in real life would be incredibly exciting. Maybe if I come to unexpected riches, I can make a tourist trip to Tornado Alley one day.

At least the sincere part was understandable.

😥 tim please come back and Carl young also Paul Samarus
