Super job staying safe. Most impressive is checking on the damaged home. I know many chasers do so because you folks are many times first responders. Thanks for sharing and showing humanity.

[@kdolo100]

Next time, stay with the tornado.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Nope, as a chaser, when human life has been put in danger and you can help, Jon Jukes, it's the rule you break off the chase and lend a hand -- if at all possible. Nobody's life is worth getting video.

[@tannaross1179]

Thanks for stopping and helping those people, that had to be terrifying for them. Sending prayers

[@tommyz5189]

Hey ....thanks for stopping and trying to help the people who got hit.....most would not stop....good job...........

[@rubyamm]

I'm going to have to disagree with you. I think most people would stop to see if people were ok. In case you haven't noticed in the last few major disasters, communities come together in times like these.

Awesome video. The multiple vortices! The flying debris! The exploding building! And so happy to see you check in on the homeowners. Great video all around!

A destructive wedge tornado in Ohio, in August, is unusual to say the least. Miraculous that there were no casualties.

I went to school in Ohio and remember tornado sirens and having to go to shelters. This video was great, to see beauty fo nature like that up so close.

Love watching tornado videos where everyone is not freaking out. Very good footage also.

[@Pompette12345]

Thank you! Have a day!

[@whatssofunny4103]

Hard to believe that it was only an EF2. Looked a lot stronger than that. Very unusual time for a tornado outbreak.

[@tyler1671]

Wasn't spinning very fast the f5 I seen In Joplin made ya dizzy watching it

[@isa915_a]

Whoever out there doesn’t know what a wedge tornado is, it’s a tornado from 133-318 mph tornado, and it’s wider than it is tall.

[@JenMarco]

Glad you went to see if anyone needed help. Thank you!

[@devhuncho]

Safest weather in Ohio

[@Tigers9596]

I remember this. I live and Toledo when we had the PDS tornado watch. The tornado died out right after it past our county line.

Warning Sirens & Aviation sammee I was so happy

[@austinmanhero1]

I live in massillon and a few days ago we had a tornado warning, 2 years before on April 8 there was also a tornado warning. On April 8 we head to the basement and the storm litersly WENT DOWN OUR FLIPPING ROAD and afew days ago we weren't even bothered when we heard the sirens cuz it touched down in green which isn't that close to massillon. Cleveland needs to get their warning areas precise!

Yikes!!! 😟 I remember this one Good job checking up on those homeowners

It was near my county, so glad it didn't hit us, but.. I'm a tornado lover so I was excited a tornado was actually happening, but sad for the victims

[@apismellifera1000]

That hit my home state. What was the EF scale rating on this one

[@iBurnzzy]

They will have to assess the damage. The Weather service will release the rating eventually.

[@cowboycolts]

the one in Kokomo Indiana was an EF3 rating, and just by guessing from the raw power of this tornado it's most likely going to be an EF3 slight chance EF4

[@peterk5561]

It hasn't been rated yet. The Kokomo, Indiana one has a preliminary EF3 rating.

[@apismellifera1000]

That thing looked violent by the rapid motion but it probably be an EF3

[@miraclebornemusic6638]

+Michael Ellestad NOOOO at its worst it was in Napoleon, a mile wide. It could be an EF5 tornado, so much damage.

[@nonofficialmirishita2025]

My town had a microburst and I believe some trees' brances were snapped off. None we're reported down I think.

[@BlahBlooBlee4205]

Excellent footage! I'm surprised I'd never seen this one before. Was this an EF2 or EF3?

[@SandboxerSandy]

That looks nothing like an ef2

That's pretty weird. I live in midwest Ohio and we've only had a number of tornados of any real magnitude, and none in my area.

I was eastbound on the Ohio Turnpike that day, around 5pm. A tornado came north out of West Unity and crossed the turnpike right in front of me. It then went into a wooded area and I watched it shake the hell out of the trees. Mother Nature is nothing to be reckoned with!

The driver paid no attention to the fact that there was no rain on him since his first encounter. The wipers were so dry they were laid over blocking the view. I feel bad for those people.
