Chasing a Monster Tornado - Eldorado, Oklahoma - 23 May 2024

[@YaiYai73]

Always a treat to get a long form edit of Daniel's chases! Brilliant videography, focus on safety and putting us in the passenger seat of the storms!

[@DanielShawAU]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the edit.

[@bazza9135]

I love these edits as I'm always sleeping as 16 hour ahead time difference in tasmania Australia

[@rox1180]

the best tornado videos

[@gfear24]

I love how you narrate the chase, and do it so calmly. And as a part time amateur/hobby chaser where I live, thank you for doing it as safely as possible.

[@2dogsmowing]

I like watching your videos over a bunch of other chasers. It's how you illustrate your thinking process. Where we still hear the excitement in your voice but not so over the top or obnoxious. Thank you for what you do, and always stay safe when you're over here chasing.

[@petarenae4823]

Agreed!! Watching Dan & Hank Pecos chase videos are my fav. Can't stand the yelling & screaming from other chasers😂😂

[@2dogsmowing]

@petarenae4823 I was thinking about Hank also when I was writing my comment. The obnoxious yelling is just over the top and unprofessional. It's gees, act like you have been there and done this before. Instead of sounding like a freaking rookie. I understand having the excitement but if you have been doing this for years. The crazy yelling should subsided over time with the experience.

[@DanielShawAU]

Glad you enjoyed hearing the thinking process behind the chase.

[@2dogsmowing]

@DanielShawAU it helps with the narrative of what we as viewers want to know what is going on inside the casting leads noggin. Why do you think they do dialogues in day time soaps or when the villain or the good guy do in movies. It draws a audience into your realm of thinking. So we see more through your minds eye. Plus, you have a cool calm demeanor during time of chaos and destruction. Overwhelming loudness and choas from 2 sides. It makes people uncertain and 2nd guessing on what to do. Even if the content creator is in full situational awareness. it's just my opinion and there's a lot of subscribers on some channels. But there's a lot of the same on the television that have people trained to that craziness. To each their own. It's just for me. I have enough going on in my head to add that madness in with it all. Lol

[@obsidianwing]

@@2dogsmowing Thats one of the reasons why i stay with Daniels Stormchasing Livestreams and Content since 2016. This calm ,rational, , high quality Standards and situal awareness while chasing made me always feel comfort driving virtually in the RAV. Also he explains a lot an takes us with his though process and his concerns of High Risk Days and safety for him and the public. I don't know any Chaser who talks with his Audience this way, esp after emotional distressing Events, talking about what has happened. Being able to switch MODES from Silly /Funny to Serious /Operational almost instantly. Also prepares us Audience in what we might could see that Day. This Level of Care is something I really appreciate, in the first Years I had no clue how bad thing can become. Today I'm well more prepared to expect bad things to happen, esp since I understand Radar well enough. Daniel was also a amazing teacher in understanding the Radar and showing us what actually is going on right now. Reading the Sky without Radar.Ignited my own passion for Weather and Photography

[@kimmy9737]

I love how you went against the flow of the storm chasers and got the best uninterrupted view

[@petarenae4823]

I waited all day so I could watch this after work, lol. Definitely worth the wait!!! Fantastic chase & camera work as always, Daniel😊

[@DanielShawAU]

Really happy you enjoyed the premiere. A lot of work goes into the long form edits, let alone the capture of the content.

[@yasminb6013]

Brilliant work as always Daniel! Wonderful editing and commentary. I love the addition of the radar imagery and the still photos. Thank you for sharing this with us all, a true delight!

[@DanielShawAU]

Thank you for your support Yasmin, your help goes a long way to producing this content.

[@delilaperez82]

You and pecos hank are my favorite chasers. You two are so calm

[@jeredjohnson5300]

I can always look to Daniel for a delightful video to wind down the day

[@donwiggins7645]

My favorite YT stormchaser. Be careful out there Daniel

[@DanielShawAU]

Hope you are enjoying the Australian live streams. Chasing ramps up here in November and the new sat dish will get a bit of a workout.

[@HAUNTED-DOLL]

I noticed you uploaded a video from home recently, and I'll admit that I had mixed feelings. On the one hand I was sad because if you're in Australia, then this years chase season is probably over. However, my sadness was soon replaced with excitement because I knew you'd be uploading some long form videos from this past summer's chase season because home = proper video editing equipment! ❤❤

[@DanielShawAU]

More to follow, but the Australian season kicks off. Hope you can join me live as a Patreon supporter in Australia as well.

[@Island-Girl2891]

I'm in Townsville FNQ lol and I swear we have a dome over us 😢 I'm originally from Mount Isa NWQ and the storms would get out there were absolute rippers !!! 14yrs away from the country now, and 2 events I really remember for FNQ, YASI 😨 and the freak twister than ran through here like a decade ago I wanna say ? Nothing memorable... the tropic up here is not so tropical (besides the humidity 🙅‍♀️ ) these days.. Summer please bring big rains and big storms and month long monsoon troughs... pleaseeee Mother Nature ❤

[@obsidianwing]

Great Edit ! One the most remarkbale Chases of 2024 you had. Allways a Gift getting a new Full Chase Video to watch

[@DanielShawAU]

Thank you for the years of support. Glad you enjoyed the edit.

[@Grifter2023]

Great hectic storm chase ⛈️ with awesome commentary. Beautiful work

[@zyraxus]

Awesome edit, awesome chase. Love the constant commentary to get a peek into what you're thinking on the fly. Great work!

[@mrbigsausage6918]

Super awesome footage Daniel it's really appreciated to be able to watch this sort of content as dangerous as it can be to life, Hello from the United Kingdom.

[@nixternal]

Hey Daniel, awesome to see you still rocking in the US! Great to see Cheryl in the chat as well, the old school crew still around, that is awesome! Cheers!!!

[@WxChasing]

Great work!

[@TeripoLarkin]

I love your videos vro

[@huntergraham4150]

I love the caution used especially at the start of the video on the dirt road. Stopping at intersections should always be #1. The chasers BLOWING through intersections make it a lot more dangerous than it needs to be.

[@thorenshammer]

That one road you were on looks like the fictional "Bob's road" from the original Twister movie. As always, stay safe out there.

[@Island-Girl2891]

❤ I was thinking that too ! Was having flashbacks 😅 I'm terrified of our Australian weather 😨 let alone the 🌪 you guys get over there in God's country ❤ My gosh I would still live in the south country region of the USA if had the opportunity or option though !! I pray you'll be forever safe matey !! 🙏 Loveeeeee your channel !! Legend 🎉

[@conors4430]

Just remember, you’re not in traffic, you are traffic

[@PM-vv3uc]

Thanks Daniel for this nicely edited chasing video! You're one of a kind. Always interesting to hear whats on your mind while chasing.

[@DanielShawAU]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@darrenshawphotography]

Awesome footage Daniel just amazing

[@johnbashford9519]

Hiya Dan , good piece put together there mate . Really enjoyable watch. Andy UK

[@olbailey8606]

The best birthday present…a chase video from Daniel. Thank you for your work.

[@Forever7fiction]

happy birthday!

[@DanielShawAU]

Happy birthday!

[@itiseragon]

Oh hey I'm in this briefly lol This was actually my first tornado capture. I'd say I scored pretty well for my first one (I use this channel just for viewing nowadays; it's going up on a different one that I won't advertise here)

[@nfmoments99]

Great job, hope you get well to create more amazing footage

[@DanielShawAU]

The Kansas tornado edit is next.

[@Czeiner]

"Rain on this street is a 'No No' !" Safety first! Excellent video!

[@lifeintornadoalley]

Ah, this beautiful day. Some homes in Altus suffered damage, including mine. Jackson county is very weird when it comes to reports if it's not by our emergency manager. He's come on the scanner a few times ordering Altus police and JSO to be the spotters, not to log any other reports from others. They call their own shots. As any city or town should, if you see a tornado, sound the siren, don't wait for NWS. But the thing is, even when there is no tornado warning for us, they do alarm if they "believe" something vs what's on radar. With that being said, our city emergency manager did sound the alarm in Altus during this. They did state that the new rotation was hovering over Altus for almost an hour. I didn't have visual as I was already in shelter. The other thing about Jackson county: they really don't like chasers. Looking for more money to finish this courthouse renovation. Our jail isn't a stranger to chasers. The final reports from this day, on chasers requesting assistance: 7 required assistance. 5 out of them 7 chasers were ticketed for reckless driving. 😅😅

[@StephenRada-q6g]

Bravo! I've enjoyed watching your (well narrated) tornado coverage. Thank you & be safe

[@BjornVerzijlbergh]

I half was expecting a duststorm, instead of a tornado. Fascinating how these storms build up to the point they reach their apex.

[@marciaperryWI23]

Amazing footage! Thank you for sharing!

[@BrianEmfingerWx]

Nice work!

[@h.n.4060]

12:17 I've seen these in a few videos now. I'm reminded of the Leigh Orf simulations, showing that a hidden part of Tornado genesis are these smaller vortexes that eventually merge into a primary tornado. He's been looking for proof of these, and I'm wondering if there's a more reliable way to capture more of them, maybe something like a drone.

[@HugheJassoul]

G’day from the land up over! Good to see another beauty chase!💯

[@D3VIOUS24]

My mom lives in altus and I watched this tornado live , it was surreal

[@TleeOneTop]

A giant tornado, I wouldn't dare get close to it. You're really brave

[@redneckrevolt1]

Awesome footage! Great tornado right by my town too! I wish I could have seen this one!

[@xiaoyiuyiu]

It's really exciting to see the video of you chasing a tornado 😁

[@georgiadavis670]

Beautiful clear footage! Are you chasing completely by yourself? Seems like that would be so dangerous. How do you watch everything…the roads, maps, radar alone? The roads sure were terrible. Being from TX, now in Oregon, that’s how the roads are. Stay safe.😊🌹

[@nalla1782]

I'm a college student who only has time to storm chase for about two weeks each spring due to my classes, and after one year of trying and failing, this was the first tornado I ever saw! I think it was a great first tornado, and I was completely mesmerized watching the winds dance around the base of the cone. I don't yet have the experience to get the crazy close-up views that I've seen of from other storm chasers, plus there was tons of chaser traffic as well as sketchy roads, so I watched it from nearby the Doppler on wheels truck, a mile or so away.

[@DanielShawAU]

Take it one day at a time and never be afraid to back away BEFORE things go pear shaped. Scary things happen in Tornado alley.

[@C-M-E]

Evidently it's been awhile since I've found my way to your vids. That roof cam was genius! Also digging the hail shield ala the old sunshades. The uplift early in the vid looked almost like induction jets, the tell-tale sign of a massive low pressure system ingesting huge amounts of atmosphere. I suspect the monster in the title is going to prove Very true momentarily! The base was so flippin' low on that cell it was basically tail-dragging. Oof!

[@StormchaserNickGorman]

Great video, Wish I could have made it out that day.

[@denisegilmore6259]

Love it when it storms. It is my dream to go storm chasing and see a tornado. Thank you for sharing and helping to keep people safe.😳🤗👍🏻💜

[@juniormelton2837]

10 seconds in...."I hate these roads" welcome to Oklahoma

[@Holoavia]

2:12 "I don't . . . like . . . these roads . . ." 😆

[@ReznovSoldier]

definitely don't want to be on those roads during rainstorms, let alone trying to chase a tornado

[@kengazell9448]

There were so many people chasing this storm. Chasers posed more of a risk to each other than the weather.

[@GarryFisherProRider]

...and the place is called Eldorado. Gottabekidding me with that!

[@chair-u6m]

I love You're video man!

[@Warf-rem-comet]

The thumbnail of the tornado looks like the Fargo F-5

[@joepatbilldinosaur6413]

I love watching your videos soo much! I love your style of chasing of playing it safe! Im also curious what is the brand of those ham antennas on your rav4?

[@Woody4OU-zz3vc]

That's a crazy amount of looky loo's! LoL I grew up in Mangum, all over here since 72'. I can not remember seeing anyone else storm chasing until 90's, maybe. Dad and I drank beer and watched tornadoes, binoculars but no camera. It was our entertainment. And not another person around! I knew every Trooper and Game Warden, no one else followed tornadoes. It was crazy. LoL But the amount of people in your video watching storms blows my mind! Like tourons in Yellowstone! LoL!!

[@trinity7776]

Daniel I miss the days when you didn't have everyone and their grandmothers chasing. Looked like a convention out there.

[@jakeadolph676]

nice navigating

[@Toast_15]

Storm chaser vehicle tour?

[@darylwilliams7886]

Daniel, have you seen the google Earth shots of the F4 scouring track in the Nullabor from 2 years ago that just got noticed? Folks in the US don't think we get any here but they tend to happen in isolated areas. Mansfield got a nasty one recently that took away a house. I don't know the F rating. So, Tornadoes happen in Victoria.

[@michaelnaretto3409]

I think it's awesome that people from all over the world come here just to chase tornadoes. Be safe!

[@brandonb2613]

Best video 4:02 ever

[@petarenae4823]

I'm sorry I had to stop my patreon subscription, Daniel. Our Australian economy is getting worse by the day😢 Hopefully I'll be bk after xmas💙

[@DanielShawAU]

That's ok. The long form content will always be available for free, along with the occasional public stream. Remember, Australian chasing can be accessed for $5.00 USD per month, the US streams are $25.00 USD per month as the trip costs over $50,000 AUD or more per year + Australian chasing.

[@thelambdafunction]

I can see a pattern there, that can turn out to be fairly dangerous: a tornado is *not* the condensation funnel. This storm was not as determinate as other to fully commit, and there was RFD-produced debris that could have been mistaken for the funnel. Or small dust clouds that look like innocent gusts of wind, but that could have been a principle of a anticyclonic tornado. Major _huevotes_ to tread on country roads, that could quickly transform into brownie batter, and have you stuck in the middle of that! Plus I see a mouse pointer on radar products, hinting at a notebook instead of a tablet. Please use the correlation coefficient too. Precipitation and velocity _can_ tell you about circulation, but the ultimate nail in the coffin is the correlation coefficient. It can even stop you from driving through a hailstone carpet bombing, and spare your windshield. Take care

[@tranquil0335]

Let's gooo

[@sahebplays3589]

2nd strongest tornado of the year remarkably. Also was that Cameron Nixon at the end?

[@thuncourt013]

first clear shot of the tornado around 41:00

[@michaelnaretto3409]

Rural USA can have some pretty nasty roads. More so in and around farms and ranches.

[@GarryFisherProRider]

Gotta be kidding me with that! How dare you throw this at me, when it's time to sleep here in Europe now?! I'm going to drain the lizard...not gonna watch this with the full lizard, no...

Recommend you do not take up chasing, spotting or any other weather related activity as you will likely become bored quickly. I should have added 20+ hours of driving on freeways before the editing actually commenced to keep this more realistic.
