Ashby/Dalton, MN EF-4 Tornado Chase - Watch how a Tornado Forms, Tornado Drone Video -July 8th, 2020

[@andrewyates7629]

I hope you send this to the owner of that farm at the end of your video. What a cool shot and story for generations.

[@jasonbednarUSA]

Plan in the works!

[@henryk1031]

He tried to but the farmer lost his vision in the storm.

That farm dodged a bullet... :O

[@thekiingc7]

I appreciate that really excited guy screaming "WOO" in the beginning -- his vibes are appreciated

[@hastycontemplation]

This is one of the prettiest tornados I have seen on youtube, either that or the cameras and technique is getting better.

[@northerniltree]

Sadly, that tornado ravaged a nearby cemetery where hundreds were feared dead.

[@TRIIGGAVELLI]

I love finding hidden gem comments on KZbin.

[@Overlordplayzgaming]

Ok

[@vindictivetiger]

There's another chaser on youtube who's in the car that passes the other--he got some astounding shots of that crazy drill bit as it went past that clump of trees & out into that field.

wide awake at 3 in the morning re-watching everyone's footage from this day... so awesome!!! great meeting you that day!

[@jasonbednarUSA]

Guilty of the same, quite an assortment of angles, I heard one guy was on foot right next to the base! 😆 What a day!

[@giordano8525]

This is an excellent footage and the tornado with the drone, reminds me of the first tornado scene in movie Twister. Brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@zalex2357]

This is absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful capture. Daylight, not completely rain-wrapped, and out in the plains. KUDOS and thank you for sharing this. 😍😍😍

[@jasonbednarUSA]

Thank you more!

[@GrungeBro1990]

Very nice chase of a long track tornado. i remember the thrill of the chase and the excitement. How i miss the old days.

[@scottmathews3777]

This is the first time I've seen drone footage of a tornado. It's superb! I hope there will be many more. Looks like drones are going to make a significant change in both chasing and the science?

Johnny Utah's Outdoors underrated comment.

[@jasonking454]

Look up Yazoo City tornado for some amazing drone tornado footage that was captured about a weeks ago.

[@sequencepyro2026]

that tornado at 10:12 looks like the first tornado they chase in the movie Twister.

[@CrazyInWeston]

That film is both good and stupid. Apart from the drive-in movie theatre tornado, every other tornado in the film just suddenly ends/dissipates when the main characters are caught in it for 10 seconds. There was that one under the wooden bridge when the yellow truck gets destroyed it dissipates while over the bridge. There was the one with the twin tornadoes which again dissipates after spinning the red truck a few times. There was that mega F5 one where they had to strap themselves in to some piping, oh its suddenly gone? I mean what gives?

[@rockislandmodeler6802]

The weird thing I saw in your video is dry roads and the sun was out during a tornado!! I will say that was some awesome footage!!

[@NorthernChev]

The Basehunterschasing channel has phenomenal footage of the base of the tornado you shot with the drone at the end of this video from less than a hundred yards away. You can see their car in your drone shot. Great shots from both of you.

[@emperorgluteusmaximus7069]

Just watched that video. Incredible footage!

[@juniorm8815]

The drone coverage is excellent!!! Great freaking job

[@smileyhappyradio]

Great tornado quote, "look at this thing, it is sick." It definitely is awesome the power. But sick is probably just the word, for how everyone feels seeing a tornado approaching.

[@tyr9473]

That dude screaming and honking is hilarious

[@quintuplebanned4267]

I went to college in southern Minnesota from Seattle and saw some of the most amazing storms of my life, so its great of you to share this beautiful footage, (hoping no one was hurt) and for bringing back memories of driving through those cornfields.

[@lovefoodisgood]

that drone footage is insane, ps there are two cars on the farm driving 50m from that thing at the end!!

[@michaelespeland]

Yeah, one of the cars is Basehunters Chasing

[@scoringbox2176]

@@michaelespeland and Michael Marz is the other one

[@Giantdwarf00]

the footage from those cars is excellent as well. Just seen it.

[@16dragons]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioDLqJqKr66cpZYsi=uhKPDqtWSf4uTIsX Basehunters! They pulled up less than 200 feet from the thing. Absolutely the craziest footage of a tornado, potentially ever

[@allynnamccleod8862]

You people are having way too much fun. Sucks I live in California where tornados are few and far between and I can't really go touring the country. Thanks for the vicarious pleasure.

[@jetroar17]

Incredible footage. Drone is not limited by road access and trees etc.

[@eezyclsmooth9035]

UNREAL ! When you've seen on tornado video you've... NOT THIS Time ! The entire video is real intense. Many people, when filming something incredible, Choke, resulting in poor footage. Well Done Guys.

[@andreask3218]

Extremely rapid rotation. You can see its strength.

[@hagerz]

I don't have words for the quality and content. Absolutely Spectacular 💯 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kiramohrreader]

thank you for posting a great video. I love how we were able to actually hear the tornado. you did AMAZING.

[@robertstewart8224]

Really well done start to finish! Thanks for the ride and fly along. Thanks

[@mkd1964]

It was nice that the tornado went politely around that farm. You can see from the ground scouring it was on a collision course but decided to steer left around the trees before resuming it's original course.

[@rollingcoal9500]

That drone footage was the most beautiful and most terrifying footage I have seen. I can’t imagine looking outside and seeing that on my front lawn!! That farmer should play the lotto 😳😳

[@hamrite]

It would be interesting to picture the pathway of the tornado from above as it looks like a trench on the left where it certainly dug into the mud !!

[@allmeadow1899]

Hands down the best footage I’ve ever seen! Amazing filming 👏 thank you

[@pjhelbig]

This footage... IS. AMAZAING! Wow!

[@2DSTORMS]

I always thought this reminded me of Wynnewood, the intense motion it had

[@KSparks80]

3:16 had me reaching for an "oh shit!" handle when the camera started leaning. lol

[@tbaz1990]

Incredible footage man. The drone shots are gnarly!!!

[@bustermcthundernut]

This tornado changed shapes so many times, and just when I thought it was gonna rope out and die it got bigger.

[@TheAdventureMentor]

This footage is absolutely amazing. The detail allows you to see the raw power that these things can have. It's like a literal drill bit. Tornadoes are beautiful when they stay in a field and don't hurt anyone. I hate to learn that this one caused fatalities. Rest in peace to Seth. Crops can be replanted, property can be rebuilt, but you can't bring back a life that was lost.

[@vindictivetiger]

they're hurting the farmer who'd just planted.... lost revenue from that storm

[@cadestrege413]

I remember this day while the tornadoe sirens all around us where going off then we heard the news of people passing away this was a scary night but what a neat video

[@robertredbeard1855]

I have been directly under one of those bowls. With no safe place to hide if it dropped. Awe struck! It ripped the roof off of the car wash along the highway about 300 yards away. Tossed the entire roof in two big pieces, right onto the highway.

[@joelonderee2872]

This is award winning content, best on KZbin. Please keep up the excellent work.

Thank you, Joe!

[@mushroom_tornado2945]

I can only imagine what it would be like for the owners of that farm if they were watching it from the farm.

[@Sea_Enjoyer]

Must've been beautiful. You can tell it's only an EF0-EF1 at that point, and almost stationary. I'd have loved to have been there, cigar and a drink, watching the rope out.

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

wow.... fantastic video. We live in amazing times where cool people get a chance to make amazing videos like this.... thank you so much!!!!

[@sbatncpl]

WOW! Well Done!! Well done indeed. Minimal commentary, excellent shots. Prayers for those affected. I can't imagine what I would do were a tornado to hit my area, let alone my home. Oh! Thanks for the NWS link about the storm.

[@jasonbednarUSA]

Thank you so much!

[@dlsWatch]

18 months ago we lost our home and shed to a tornado. Yes it sucks tremendously. I still have ptsd, especially since watching this.

[@1bcordell]

Very good camera work.

[@harrisquicksilver6595]

Beautiful shots with the drone! Did u see how fast that thing grew at the end of the video? It quads in size!!

[@lofivibes3640]

Could of sworn I heard Reed Timmer yelling violent tornado on the ground. Look at that debris. Stop right here. Back up 50 times in a row.

[@steveschu]

Reed is so calm now.

[@ju99al041ife]

Some amazing footage right here.

[@Tigers9596]

That's incredible. Amazing how the tornado was roping out and about gone and decided it was going to ramp up again.

[@irishfergal]

The drone footage is excellent and clear. Thanks!!

[@truthseeker22692]

I didn’t even hear about this! I pass Ashby all the time. Passed it twice this weekend.

[@TornadoBob1]

Excellent job capturing the tornado as well as the storm scale rotation around it!

[@jasonbednarUSA]

Thanks, Bob! Appreciate that, especially looking in hindsight, as I missed out on a great opportunity to get quite close safely.

[@TornadoBob1]

@@jasonbednarUSA You had a unique view. Generally, you can be assured that someone will be ten feet away because that's where so many people try to be. It's good to see the storm in addition to the tornado. Your view from the south or southwest really showed how much that storm was rotating before it produced the tornado and offers an explanation why it got so strong. The tornado was not a fluke-- there was a lot of vorticity at the storm scale that could be stretched to produce a strong/violent tornado. That perspective is missing in most of the other videos I've seen.

[@jomroach08]

Holy shit!! The last 6 minutes looks like every nightmare I've had about tornadoes

[@mushroom_tornado2945]

Is it just me, or is there a car going by the barn at the very end of the video? If so, that’s insanely close.

there's actually 2 driving on the farm that you can see in the last few moments. dangerous

6:11 I live in Utah... Ive never seen that here. the last time a major tornado hit was 2016 and it destroyed 1 home. the other was 1999 and sadly killed 1 person from a tree falling on him.

[@Discokid715]

Incredible Video! 👏😳

[@Vekurus]

What I find most incredible is the very abrupt hook to the left, then AROUND the trees at the last property - missing the property entirely. It then VEERS RIGHT, back to its original course. I mean, what the heck is that?!

[@anb7408]

The only other tornado that I’ve seen move slower than this one was the Elie, Manitoba F5. That thing literally sat in one spot for several minutes, circled around, then came back and hit the same spot again!

[@swayze693]

the guys in the sedan who drive by yelling remind me of the guys from the newer tornado movie “into the storm” who did the jackass stunts😂😂😂😂😂

[@frenchfrey65]

at about 10:50 I can see a pair of cars from the left side of the video, they got SUPER close and you can see how violent the tornado was in their video! Even though it was 50-100 yards away, you can see it RIP mail out of a mail box! the suction power of it was intense!

That was some pretty cooperative tornadoes.

Super photogenic, relatively slow moving tornado. Great drone shot at the end. Sad to know this tornado took a life and injured 2 others, but at the same time grateful it was over mostly over open fields and terrain.

[@elithepitbulldog2209]

What was that tornado attached to at the top toward the end of the video. There was hardly any cloud or cloud base at all. The parent storm had mostly dissipated

[@jasonbednarUSA]

This was a very unique tornado, its updraft/meso was connected to the main portion of the supercell but trailed it from an above average distance. It's hard to see in the video, but it's all still there.

[@StormChasingPoland]

This is one of the creaziest tornado capture I've ever seen! :O Holy shit! Amazing job Jason, even with drone! And the tornado looks so good! That screaming guy in the car is like me when I'm chasing haha

[@gregtremblay7504]

My 3rd on-site meeting with a tornado was on Aug 24, 2016 and 4th event over-all, caused property damage needing a $52,000 insurance claim in Windsor ON, which can be seen with a Google search. I realize that is peanuts considering it was EF-2, but my insurer is almost assured I won't have another tornado claim. Windsor in 1974, Edmonton, Capilano area which I had just moved from the eventual location in the '80's, and Cayuga ON while CASCAR racing.

[@crazieman]

Reminded of the Elie tornado. This is a crazy little drillbit. Edit: Is that ground scouring in 12:08 ? Did you guys photograph it?

[@ian2]

yes it is, i believe michael martz was incredibly close at that point and he has incredible footage of that moment.

[@2DSTORMS]

I work for LSM. Great video!!

[@straightshooter8443]

Wow. First: how tempted were you to fly the drone right up and over the top of the funnel? Second: Those are so majestic to watch from a distance and I know what those people in that farm house are going thru. When I was younger our place, that was just like this, way out in the country got hit twice in one year by a tornado. It can sure tear up a lot of structures in a very short time period. I have to say, this is by far the best footage I have ever seen of one on the ground as long as this was. Good job.

[@quacksmack7449]

sweet drone shots!! props

[@Allenmarshall]

Such a pretty green landscape

[@YouDontKnowMeSoYouDontKnowJack]

It's always so weird to see such a destructive force right next to a blue sky. I was driving between Alexandria and Saul Center once and it was a nice day, except for the bad storm moving in. By the time I got to Sauk Center's Walmart, there was a tornado warning! 😳

[@BrandonFrisco]

You all see that bird to the right at 8:29???

[@charismao23]

That drone view is surreal!

[@patricksmith4148]

It's a damn shame when tornados destroy property: and especially lives. However, it's still fascinating to see the destruction; much like watching a WWII documentary. And that can occur with respect to those who's lives were lost. Consider showing what comes next. It's ok to do so.

[@ldrobarts]

[@swithinbarclay4797]

"Jason", this vid was outstanding! What stands out for me, are the ACCURATE sonics of this tornado; your recording equip is TOP-calibre (Even if I'm yet to experience my first tornado, this is just my intuition.). Substandard equip will just make a lot of pink noise, that drowns out all other sound, if you so much as breathe within six or so inches of the microphone, does it not? Here is how I imagine the sound to be, actually, IN PERSON: so loud and powerful, that the mid to low frequencies gives the sensation that the organs in your chest feel as if they're being "homogenized", with unbelievably heavy vibration from the ground that you stand upon, and the higher frequencies make your ears feel as if they are going to start bleeding, any second. Have I indeed, correctly imagined a tornado's sonic impact? Y'know I'd be CAREFUL, about the deployment of these expensive . . . almost priceless drones . . . one never knows when these beasts are going to toss out an errant finger of wind that will wad up and dash a fine drone to the ground, but of course, that's rather obvious to you.

[@jasonbednarUSA]

The sounds were other worldly at times!
