Something about hearing the severe weather alert radio broadcast sound always makes me terrified and excited.
-
Tim Marshal's intercept was incredibly dangerous, but god is my hat off to him.
-
What's crazy is this tornado had winds over 215 mph (about 50 ft off the ground) and swept some homes away, but was rated EF-3. To me, this tornado was clearly an EF-5 (or at least high-end EF4).
-
As some of the other commenters have pointed out, remember that the tornado is often significantly wider than the funnel you see. Even with "just" RFD you could be in danger. Don't El Reno yourselves.
-
Tim has balls. In fact he deployed them into the tornado.

Anyone who likes tornado vids needs to check out Pecos Hank's channel.

Good video right here, but I must say, if you have someone else with you, then be careful. If they are scared then you gotta stay back, but if you're alone, then go for it! Just do not put others in danger.
-
This would be the last time I rode with Scott. He didn't even care about his wingman. This was NOT RFD. You can clearly see the rotation. If houses and power lines are dropping around you... Just wow...
-
6:08 "It's RFD...It's takin' the lines down...That's all it's doin'." --- People will say anything when they think they're about to die.
-
My eyes got progressively wider and wider after 5:20. That was extremely close.

oklahoma has had 2 huge tornadoes in 3 years. the 2013 el reno tornado was 2.6 miles wide (world record) with wind speeds at 296 mph and the sulphur 2016 tornado was 1.8 miles wide with wind speeds recorded at 216 mph.
-
The winds were over 200 MPH in this storm. Therefore, if this tornado did EF5 damage the tornado would have been EF5 instead of EF3.
-
Mother of God, guys. That was insanely close and super ballsy. Excellent video, but I'm begging you to play it safer. You're all too cool to have anything happen to you. <3
-
Yeah, that wasn’t RFD. Y’all were right in the outer wall of the funnel.
-
Am i only one who feels peacefull when the sky is dark and cloudy?
-
tim marshal. that's tim marshal. he's deploying. that's time marshal. that's tim. that's tim marshal. he's deploying. that's tim marshal.
-
I'm thinking if you can see that Tim dude you're too close. Great shots of the storm guys.I watched every second of this video.
-
You guys have gotten some awesome footage yhese past few days!
-
You need to listen to your wig man. You were in the outter ban Scott. Remember theres others in your car. Their life too. Their choice too.
-
I have a feeling one day you guys will be the subject of one of Skip Talbot's "Analysis of a Storm Chase Tragedy" videos.
