INTENSE footage of a LARGE Wedge Tornado destroying rural areas of northwest Ohio! Homes and barns were hit, the debris field was extensive flying all around this tornado. An absolute monster!

[@debo8594]

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.

[@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.

[@jesslogan1320]

just a sprained ankle and a couple scrapes and bruises from debris falling in me as I hovered over my kids.

[@cowboystormchaser]

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

[@davidvance6367]

cowboystormchaser, August Tornadoes are generally in the Dakotas-Sashkatchuan Canada

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.

[@HumanMechanism]

There was a clip from this video posted by The Weather Channel yesterday on facebook claiming it was Cecil, Ohio. In case people wanted to know.

Like 5 weeks ago their were like 3 tornados and we could see one of them forming on top of our community

[@sabishiihito]

2:03 great view of a sub-vortex, those are what do the most extreme damage.

[@davidvance6367]

sabishiihito, Tornado was trying to establish itself. Not enough cool air to get the main vortex in a spin. Western Ohio mainly Tornado country. Far east Ohio RARE !

[@Mastergeytion]

@@davidvance6367 even far north east Ohio gets hit every 2-3 years on average actually northern Ohio get hits more than most think

[@dennis8445]

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. Life can change so fast it's hard to get truly comfortable. Be aware of your surroundings at all times and don't panic. love people not money.

[@PatchworkRose567]

I live in stark county in northeast Ohio in Minerva. Minerva is in a valley so tornados are not usually a problem

[@samuelstephens6904]

NatureGirl567 Terrain has no effect on tornadoes. Living in a valley doesn't make you any more safe.

[@Religious_man]

*NatureGirl567,* explain how a monster F5 tornado manage to plow through the Kansas River Valley where it killed 16 people through the heart of Topeka, Kansas, in 1966. It was also history's first hundred million dollar tornado. Can you continue to afford this?

[@lillibradshaw817]

NatureGirl567 They can still hit

[@WarriorPrincessGrace]

is that what broke salem's powerline? we got an effect off of Northwest Ohio years ago?

[@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!

[@jeffwynn24]

wow you guys got an awesome video of that multi vortex twister it was a beast great video. you were pretty much in that storm people don't understand how strong the wind really is in the outer bands of the funnel. I think this video is a top notch!

[@ellieavenelle8145]

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!

[@emilyshonk8249]

what direction was it headed that storm that made the tornado was it from the weather forming in the Bahamas Florida area
