POTTAWATTAMIE - SHELBY COUNTIES, Iowa - A long tracked supercell and tornado began south of Minden, Iowa and moved into town causing serious damage to homes and businesses. The tornado continued northeast for a very long period of time (upwards of 50+ miles) through Shelby County and the community of Harlan. Debris was lofted airborne as the tornado struck several structures and farmsteads doing major damage.

The behavior of these so called chasers is appalling. As others have stated Reed Timmer and Vince (can't remember his last name) among others actually STOP to see if people are alright (or need assistance) if they come a cross a house that is either damaged or maybe destroyed. They were there to get that "cool" shot or shots. Impatient "chasers" like these guys get themselves killed because they want to get those "cool" shots. They were WAY too close to that/those twister(s).

[@ushauntings2981]

He will keep doing it so he can profit off the peoples losses. Like the one who said someone was stopped. The one house was leveled cars and all. You guess it no one. What did brett call the others “wankers”…nope that would be you! How do we loose some of the greatest storm chasers, who were great people, and get left with this moron.

[@Elysian777]

If you had watched other chasers vids you would know first responders knew where to go because of these guys and the others.

I think if they had no clue what they were doing, they probably wouldn't have found this storm on a day where storms like this weren't really expected to fire. In fact, pretty much exclusively storm chasers who know what they are doing were out yesterday. By comparison, today in Oklahoma for the MDT risk, there was bumper to bumper traffic for miles and it was nearly all amateur chasers converging on a storm that only dropped one brief tornado before raining out all the roads and making it hard for them to get back onto the highway

[@davidstevenson9986]

Calling the other drivers fools was a bad take on this one. A lot of chasers may stop to radio in damage and confirmation, and to check if people need assistance or rescue, it's probable that some of the others on the road were doing just that, considering the level of damage present in the video.

[@amydavis4945]

4:39 That multi-vortex monster was eerie as hell - especially as it passed over that cemetary. Not sure why you called that other driver a "fool" though... not everyone is comfortable driving INTO a multi-vortex tornado. I respect those that know their limits and DON'T put others in danger.

[@maribethspence9458]

Great footage, but maybe try and have at least a little concern for other people too. So you had to go around. I don't think that hurt you none dude. Edit in: I get it these guys are in an adrenalin rush chasing these things. I've seen a couple up close and your heart races mixed with awe at the power, excitement and for me fear. So they probably don't even know what they're saying in the moment.

His comments toward other drivers (when there is danger clearly in front of them) is normal obnoxious, but not stopping to help possible victims is maddening. He discusses a garage being "gone" and a house that is ok, however at 6:37--6:41 you can clearly see a house on the left that has been severely damaged by the tornado. Yet they keep driving with their appetite for filming apparently outweighing their compassion for others.

[@Reiku78]

Reed was behind them and stopped to check, As did a few other chasers.

[@Jason-ly2nq]

Props to the driver for trusting his gut, even with the passenger hassling him to speed up. From 3:05 onward, you were right on the edge of a massive Wedge tornado. It just didn't have a Condensation funnel. You were about to drive into a mile wide tornado with windspeeds likely above 130 MPH. What your passenger was trying to get you closer to was actually sub-vortices INSIDE the massive tornado. Imagine these as powerful drill bit tornadoes inside of wedge tornadoes.

I want to take a second to appreciate the landscaping at the start of the video that the farmer/farmers did to their fields. The layering and green ridges look so damn good.
