Apologize for the visuals from inside the car. First time using the head mounted GoPro. Next time will have better visuals. There are timestamps to skip those parts of the video. 😅

[@josephvanwanzeele5125]

Really just fine. Part of the learning curve. Thanks for sharing all of this!

[@nymperico]

Don't worry! I feel like it's better to have shared it than just having short clips and pics since this was such an intense event and people are really curious about it. I especially appreciate your distance shots just watching as things develop!

[@markeuringer8106]

Would be interesting to see what an ef5 tornado can do in the middle of a downtown area around high rises in the middle of usa somewhere 😇 1

[@InTheGarden1960]

​@markeuringer8106 If you want to see an F5 just go look at the Joplin, Missouri tornado. It hit the multi-level hospital.

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

Makes me feel more connected and in the moment along with you. Just pull the camera down some so we can see where you are driving and see what you are seeing. Don’t take them out. 😊

[@francescruz8462]

I love the embedded photos. I really appreciate your genuine care and warnings to others. Thanks for respecting the power and awesomeness of these monsters. Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@adamorgler]

Thank you so much!

[@clarencewlsmith]

Congrats on some photos of a lifetime!

[@adamorgler]

thank you!

[@jimjimgl3]

Congratulations on capturing that still image. It is epic and also astounding that you were in the right place at the right time.

[@adamorgler]

Thank you very much!

[@nicholaskrasznavolgyi6340]

A unique perspective of storm chasing, I love it. Great shots too!

[@adamorgler]

Thank you!

[@claredyson9936]

Wow beautiful still shots! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@richard1835]

That is a huge wedge. Good capture. Thumbs up

[@sheilakinney4500]

What a compassionate person you are. I love how you care about others. GOD bless you.

[@wyomingadventures]

Nice job. I grew up in Iowa. I don't miss the tornadoes.

[@Rhonda.D.Wright]

All of you storm chasers are just amazing. I cannot thank you all enough for what you do and the content in your videos. Stay safe out there. 😊

[@sandyharman5067]

Great reporting. Thank you especially no language issues.

[@luci2roads896]

OMG the long range photos are awesome. You need to protect your work. NOW

[@user-iv7uj3gz7p]

If you want to do as storm chaser , put camera , go pro or something, in a casing on top front section of the roof , get 4 , one view = front drive view. One = right side view. One = left side view. One = back view . So if you need to turn around and go opposite direction from tornado heading your direction, with 4 continually running filming , you will get great shots . Good luck . Spend some time to work on it . Oh make sure casing for the camera can handle serious impact force from hailstones.

[@earthn1447]

Love your images - close-ups with a good camera and the distant videos to put in perspective - I love seeing the larger storm with a tornado. I really wanted to see who’s sitting in the back seat.

[@josephvanwanzeele5125]

Definitely one of those situations where continuously updated / informed decisions will help ensure a safe way to make it to the next day!

[@toddvergith9485]

This had got to be some of the best raw tornado footage I have ever seen. Thoughts and prayers to everyone effected by the outbreak this past weekend.

[@acheartist]

Mesmerizing and majestic. It was captivating and exhilarating to behold such an image.

[@LLewis-tm9yp]

Your photos are awesome 🎉🎉

[@adamorgler]

Thank you!!

[@Terrye5588]

Incredible photos & video footage!!!👏👏👏

[@bunzgoddess2564]

The sound of the wind is phenomenal 🌪

[@Kaidhicksii]

I was watching this live on a bunch of guys' feeds. The most intense chasing I've seen live ever. There's no way this thing wasn't packing EF4 strength winds at least.

[@debcody1261]

Beautiful photos! ❤❤ -im from this area so I love that this was documented so well by so many of you! Stay safe out there!

[@kevind7321]

Your very lucky it literally went around you, it could also just came up to you straight away. Very impressive

[@maryroller4417]

The shear terror! Amazing caputure

[@petermacander5039]

"STAY SAFE, YEP" "BE SAFE, MAN" THEN THEY BOTH GO CHARGING AHEAD STRAIGHT INTO A HUGE TORNADO! LOL!

[@2dogsf-ing]

I just have to say. What beautiful stills you shot. Keep up the great work.

[@glenbeckert9579]

Great shots on the camera!

[@BarbosaUral]

That's some real nice photography!

[@adamorgler]

Thank you very much!

[@kh3612]

Great video, but your still photos are excellent!🌪️☮️

[@chanman4rings]

Some fantastic video and photos on your instagram. Stay safe out there Subscribed

[@user-ii8se9vo5l]

Great pictures very impressive.Now that's a storm chaser... way to go! looks to be a F4 F5 tornado. Yeah don't forget to catch your breath and stay safe out there!😊

[@markjob6354]

I appreciate your style of chasing. You don't seem to have the need to drive @ speeds over 90 MPH. You don't seem to be swearing at other drivers on the road because they're not wanting to drive at over 100 MPH. Your situational awareness is excellent, and you're not a yelling, screaming, swearing, out of control idiot storm chaser, like so many others who post here on KZbin. Thumbs up for you man ! Good Job !👍🏻😃

[@billtomson5791]

Please please please always heed the warning sign on your visor.

[@markkasper7281]

awesome content well done

[@frankbaublit]

Stay safe out there brother

[@jameswalker7459]

Stay safe bro from Plymouth UK,,, insane footage...

[@intherockies]

That was intense just watching this video from the comfort of my home. Prayers for everyone thats been affected this weekend from all the crazy storms.

[@jockojockoson9995]

Almost 100k views! Amazing work mate. Cheers from Australia

[@debbieriddle9429]

Amazing pictures.

[@oregonpatriot1570]

Real chasers use a .35 mm lens and get MUCH closer! *_MUCH_* closer. 🤣 Good job man. I could actually feel the excitement clear out here in Oregon! (but I lived in the mid-west for 30 years, so I've got actual memories to draw from) Thanks.

[@DaveTinNY]

Great video and excellent stills. One day I hope to get out there to photograph the Midwest storms.

[@cheweyweather]

Thank you for your hard work. you do great photography. I don't think people realize the emotional stress that comes along with what you do. It's hard to see damage like that right in front of you knowing there may be people there. Go have a 6 pack and a hot shower.

[@Aprilsdragonfly]

Awesome shots!! Stay safe out there.

[@BrianFloridastrong]

Stunning 😮 that potato wedge

[@maribethspence9458]

You got some amazing still shots!

[@maryannemckay5766]

Great catch❤

[@pietromanno8916]

GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!! & EVERYTHING!!!!

[@laurelb1962]

Great shots

[@followurheart1112]

Wow your still shots are amazing

[@caledoniawarrior]

Skittish tombs, very Skittish!

[@jferris6184]

Fantastic shots, I would love to see more of the sky in the tornado photos, not just the tornado and ground area, just a suggestion but man, you did a great job and good to know the humanity/compassion still exists in those who are part of this community💚💚💚

[@specificrim9186]

Thumbnail goes hard

[@michellebaily-defina644]

Those are some amazing photos

[@adamorgler]

Glad you like them!

[@calamityman37]

Fantastic

[@geoffmacdonald7370]

Good find great pics and vid! People probably think people like us are crazy but most will never understand the rush!

[@CentralOHSirens]

Incredible footage, photos and video.

[@lindamarzucco9097]

FREAKING AWESOME

[@marleymcleay9228]

One of the finest cars out there mate. 😅 you have a really good lens, your photography is stunning. Well done, you did everything correctly with regards to safety and concern for residents.

[@harrydog541]

No apologies needed. You did good!!👍👍

[@maegardnermills4292]

Thank you for warning people.

[@sherrisRN]

The footage is amazing! great job

[@niningsetia4213]

Stay safe ❤❤

[@1981Steve]

Awesome photos!!!

[@williamleahy510]

The picture of the tornado in the middle of all those homes made my heart sink......i live in Maine I REALLY WANT TO COME WEST ONE TWISTER SEASON TO SEE ONE, BUT IM NOT PAYIN 6 GRAND FOR IT

[@TheForbiddenOne55]

Subbed.... good shit man. You got some stunning shots

[@amandam.s.2028]

Omg, that was a huge one 😮

[@alisalavine1052]

The last bit where you are one to three miles away, were those inflow winds?? Really nice capture. What a beast of a storm. We lucked out here in Wichita the next day. Right when things were popping to our south, cold air poured in and we went from a dew point of 65 to 54 in about 45 minutes. Did have some torrential rain but we needed it. Stay safe out there.

[@clownman9859]

adam, I like your communications with others. side note: you should already have your vehicle in pointed 👉 in the direction of the escape route while relaxing and filming, i can give ya less anxiousness or whatever ales the mindset.. be easy 😎

[@pietromanno8916]

MAKE A U TURN!!!!!

[@Cant-we-all-just-get-along]

You got on the right one. I have never seen one that big on KZbin. How wide do you think it was?.

[@vilaharrison4066]

I actually lived through a scene just like this one in Iowa years ago. You just sit in your car and wonder what do I do next??

[@Craig_Ewan]

Nice photos! Where are you posting them? Would like to have a look

[@adamorgler]

You can see all the photos I took here on my website! :) www.adamorglerphotos.com/portfolio/harlan-tornado

[@kevinhensley4643]

Amazing video. Do you sell the photos you take? You have some outstanding ones I'd like to have.

[@adamorgler]

I do! Here is my shop: adamorgler.smugmug.com/

[@jameswalker7459]

As much it's exciting to watch it's so sad that so many people are left with nothing,I certainly pray that Mr Biden is watching,

[@heathermichael3987]

🤯

[@teresaburke4250]

What the heck is in it? That’s dark

[@adamorgler]

Iowa topsoil is nearly black and the tornado is sucking a lot of it up!

[@followurheart1112]

I have many dreams like this. Huge blk funnels coming towards me. Ugh. So horrifying

[@user-ze8zo5uv2s]

Next time go closer.
