F5 Tornadoes and Map Update! | Tornado: Research and Rescue

Sam released a series of updates over the weekend but the new map enhancement update was the best one! Check out the game linked below. Getting a probe in the path of a F5 tornado (not EF5 due to the era) is not as easy at it seems!

Today yet another update came out fixing all of the issues we discussed here! The "# Tornadoes" setting is now "# Cells", and you can adjust the probability of a cell producing a tornado using the "Tornado Spawn %" setting. Fixed "blue sky tornadoes" and made the game a bit more overcast again Fixed ambient lighting so shadows aren't as harsh

can't wait to get home and play! keep this content coming! love it

[@seanespey2887]

Hey Jeff! Storm Chasers is back in development! This game is fantastic though!

[@TimothyRogersRailfanning]

@@seanespey2887 I thought Storm Chasers fell off, hadn't seen or heard anything in months.

[@seanespey2887]

@@TimothyRogersRailfanning It is back

[@jadehammer2025]

Hey Jeff. Good job letting your inner reed timmer out while you play this game.

[@formalguy01]

Please keep playing this, I wanna see a whole season of this stuff, 20+ videos please lol

[@TimothyRogersRailfanning]

Jeff this game might just become the next best storm chasing game honestly. I wonder if multiplayer is being worked on, I think it would be awesome if you had multiple people chasing the same storm or competing with each other similar to how Storm Chasers worked.

[@jfavignano]

It is coming

[@TimothyRogersRailfanning]

@Jeff Favignano I do like the Twister-style vibe this game has with the truck and the VHS camera, it's so unique. I'm gonna have to pick this up then!

[@josecarrilloii4036]

​@@TimothyRogersRailfanning All we're missing now is a *Dodge Ram;* specifically, a *1990 [1st-gen] Dodge Power Ram 350 SLT Laramie 4x4 5.9L Cummins 16-valve V8 Turbo Diesel dually,* painted in that *_Twister_** red.*

[@Medicbobs]

It isn't that good 😂

[@dickkickem]

@@josecarrilloii4036 youre speaking my language now

[@carracerv1522]

The graphics are incredibly cool. They pair perfectly with the 90's aesthetic of the game.

[@HankJr.]

I picked this up after your first video and have been impressed with how quickly updates are coming out. They’re very responsive to player requests and bug reports, almost every day updates are released steadily improving game play. I wish I recorded my gameplay as during a chase I was off roading attempting to get ahead of the tornado. I was focusing more on the tornado than the path ahead and drove into a bit of a ravine at 110 and got major air. I flew straight into the top of a tree and died instantly and lost it. Blunt force trauma to the everything 😂

[@SocalThero]

Love the Camera text in this game. Feels so true to the 90's era of Camera recording with the date and time in it. Another great video of this game Jeff! Enjoyed as always brother.

[@makaylacleary]

Ahhh yesss. Another Jeff Fav storm chaser video. Life couldn’t be any better!! Love ya Jeff!!

[@lundy2jz637]

Man Jeff I love your tornado videos man, I’m a big GTA5 fan but you’re the reason I fell in love with weather and tornadoes mainly, I throughly enjoy your chases man. Keep these videos coming, I’m starting to really like this game, I was a big fan of storm chasers but this is growing on me, keep up the great work man! From a fellow Missourian I definitely approve of these tornado series you always have going on!!! Maybe do a GTA5 OCRP Tornado mod event sometime? Would be cool if possible to do!!

[@JamesExploresHorror]

Jeff this is easily one of my favorites I've seen you play! The way the trees bend into the inflow is just so cool to me! Like when you're up close and get in the outer winds looks so similar to real life! It feels as chaotic than footage shows in real life! On my off day from work I went to your twitch to see if you streamed it and my day was made when I saw the vod you did! Would love to see another stream sometime whenever you can! Thanks for the awesome uploads! 🙌⛈️🌪️

[@K15997-Heli]

I’m telling ya Jeff, you do good reviews man! Thoroughly enjoyed and had to purchase!

[@jaymac7203]

Just wow! This is definitely the better looking Storm game. I recently saw your Storm Chaser video and this is definitely the better of the two games for me. I also love the nineties feel for the nostalgia lol the lighting is really impressive too.

[@penguinbrony2415]

THis game continues to get better and better by the update. SUch awesome stuff.

[@samueldiaz4561]

Bro, I can't believe how lucky you were on that last tornado. Literally was at the right place at the right time and got a direct hit. Good stuff 👌

[@nickcastillo738]

Jeff’s got another great series on the channel now!

[@C-M-E]

Good to see that this is someone's pet project and not immediately abandoned. Some of the sample requirements though, I just don't see it being possible with only one probe or not dumping it at the point where your life would be in dire risk in realism terms.

[@GrantRacer88]

Yes Jeff please stream this more

[@mystictk4149]

It’s been a long time for something like this.

[@Jared_Wignall]

This is really cool, thanks for the new video of this game with the updates. Keep up the great work Jeff, have a great week and take care!

[@Rides_Reels]

He did make that update! Spawn percentage and now cells can cycle and produce again! I love this game been playing the heck outta it

[@kingscorpion7346]

the new updates look fantastic! do you know if the developer is going to incorporate controllers/gaming wheel controllers any time soon? and your reactions when you lose control of the truck due to the tornado is priceless! I sat there and laughed for about 5 minutes before I could continue watching!

[@WYATT6RABBIT]

This game needs a console release

[@Walrus498]

I agre on ps5 or something

[@Walrus498]

Agree

[@turqoisehawk358]

I wish I can play it on Xbox THAT GAME LOOKS AWESOME TO HAVE FUN WITH

[@josecarrilloii4036]

I'd love to drive around in an off-brand *1990 Dodge Power Ram 350 SLT Laramie 4x4 5.9L Cummins 16-valve V8 Turbo Diesel dually* in-game, as a nod to the Warner Bros. movie *_Twister_** (1996),* *_and_* on *Xbox platforms (i.e., Xbox One and/or Xbox Series X|S)* if it becomes a full game eventually.

[@chiapets2594]

It's trash why

[@odeo5691]

I really hope this game is gonna make a big impact. It already seems so interesting

[@joemamma9642]

Super psyched over this game!

[@lamonster_mike]

27:06 this looks like an epic Twister scene.😎

[@josecarrilloii4036]

If only he were in a *1990 Dodge Power Ram 350 4x4 SLT Laramie 5.9L 16-valve Cummins V8 Turbo Diesel dually* for that part...

[@Barncat01]

Ive always wanted one of those jeeps! Been obsessed with them since I first saw twister when I was a kid

[@historyfoot]

Hey Jeff love this game so far! Saw your Snapchat story love that pizza place!

[@atomicblimp5118]

Hey Jeff thanks for another great video! ❤❤

[@ashb4sh]

Yes another one of Jeff’s banger video

[@alexstrand6097]

I went ahead and purchased this game on steam after your first video. So far I have been impressed with the progress made since I purchased it. I hope this becomes a series on your channel as I love storm chasing in real life here when I am not working in eastern oklahoma and northwest arkansas.

[@tweakyblaze]

Just bought this game and started playing this morning and had two f5s on the ground at the same time it was a crazy experience to be chasing two f5s

[@R3volutionblu3s]

That Silicon Graphics logo on the laptop is a nice touch Silicon Graphics was a manufacturer of high end workstation computers in the 80s and 90s (Think computers that cost as much or more than a nice sports car of the era). If you've ever seen Jurassic Park, the CGI was all done with Silicon Graphics computers, Nintento partnered with them to develop the N64, many MRI machines ran off their machines, and the list goes on. Anyway, the logo on the laptop is a throwback to the movie Twister, in which you can see their logo printed on the chaser's laptops. Funnily enough Silicon Graphics never actually built laptops, so the one in the movie was just a mockup with their logo printed on it.

[@andrecoolie1720]

Wanted to see the aftermath of that humongous F5, that was amazing, never experience a tornado cause I live in the Caribbean but I experience a watersprout, my previous high school is on a hill that over looks the Bay and we saw 1 formed and it was there for like 10 15mins it was beautiful, glad no one got hurt that day

[@maverick2496]

Ahhh yesss. Another Jeff Fav storm chaser video. Tornado Jeff 👍you talk like a storm chaser man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Kalebstapleton]

Keep it it up with this game. I love these videos (I love all your videos)

[@nikolai1337]

Gotta love catching your videos early

[@jessdill4895]

Oh cool! They made living in Oklahoma a video game.

[@Xboxerproductions]

Been waiting to see another one

[@pootmahgoots8482]

Dat moon doe! Stay on the road, boss! Can't have you riding out in the clibbins!

[@allentopple6720]

If a tornado appears to not be moving it is actually moving towards you!

[@jaymac7203]

Or away 🚬🤔 lol

[@zoom8050]

Yes!!! Thank you so much Jeff! Super interested in the storm chasing games!

[@tootiefruit1172]

Haven't watched yet, but I know it'll be good. I will ALWAYS enjoy a storm chasing video from you, Jeff! Hope to see more. Keep up the good work!

[@RMorton1]

I don’t know why but whenever I look at the radar in your truck, it reminds me of something you’d see on the news in the early 2000’s.

[@samuelfries4008]

It looks like 1st gen nexrad radar

[@bryantsanders6869]

Another banger video Jeff

[@stephaneboudreault8944]

Love it Jeff so fun and nice update to from the dev! Still can’t 😂each time I see the Warning Dying Image good hope you play this again!

[@41Velu]

"i can withstand alot more speed this tornado shouldnt pick me up yet" - famous last words

[@Noledad77]

Glad to see the warning that dying can be hazardous to your health. I'd hate to see them get sued over not issuing such a warning. This was great. That F5 was a mean SOB!!

[@GaelLazerYT]

yo this game is legit better then the other one omg im going to play it right after this video

[@benwalter4842]

Yeah would also love to see different types of storms and lightning. I would also love to see realistic crash damage and hail damage. I want to see death and injuries from lightning and hail as well.

[@peterbiltkenworthtruckfan4772]

I love this video also Jeff it would be cool to see another video of it when the game developer has another update out for it

[@wjadams2]

Way cool! Another game bought on your recommendation! Thanks Jeff!

[@nathanatkisson312]

I hope this one gets a lot more attention than the last tornado game that was on the channel. Don't get me wrong that one was great. I still play it today but it lost it's grounds after a little while. Thank you for the great content Jeff

[@MrProfilen]

Storm chasers was setup to be an amazing game, I'm so sad that they stopped developing it. edit: right after I posted this I found a video of a slight "teaser" of 0.9. Maybe it's not dead after all.

[@kaydennixonn]

@@MrProfilen we’re did u see the video of the teaser of a new update ?

[@31b_Palmer]

So the developer of this game honestly deserves so much more credit than he is receiving. He has made a decent/good and enjoyable game by himself. Its very impressive to see how he has been updating it so quickly and listening to what people say. We need more developers like this guy these days. It's amazing to see. And BTW I love your videos jeff. Been watching you for 8 years now ❤

[@M1keG23]

This game is really entertaining surprisingly, good stuff!!!

[@s60rchase17]

Not sure if you've seen, but the developer of Storm Chasers is active again! Cloud has released some teasers on his KZbin channel, and I'm pretty excited for the update.

[@mcembuff]

Epic video! This happened to reach my mind, but what does dBZ scale to the right signify? I was wondering maybe if it was hail or not.

[@jfavignano]

dbz is just the reflectivity back to to radar to indicate rain/hail

[@mcembuff]

@@jfavignano Okay, that was my guess. Thanks and it's quiet cool to have that. Do you know if there's any modern version of the dBZ scale?

[@music-channel69]

Believe me, using the VHS Mode is the only way to be able to get through the night while the time skips to 5:50 am.

[@ChaseEisha709]

Jeff the update looks amazing keep up the good work and including the Gta 5 stuff ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 1:11

[@MasterD.867]

Hey dude I just love your videos. Keep it up

[@Tankeyes117]

Don't know if you heard, but the Storm Chasers dev came back and is updating the game again.

[@jfavignano]

yep

[@Big_Tuck_Enterprises]

Definitely need more videos of this game

[@bradykillman5584]

straight out of twister god i love this

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

Holding onto those spins on the road and not wrapping around a telephone pole was impressive

[@logankowatsch9669]

The First tornado reminds me of the Philadelphia Mississippi Tornado from April 27th 2011 with the violent vertical motion

[@biscuitcase83]

I was thinking the exact same thing. It also reminds me of Jarrell too

[@tylertheotaku9270]

Reminds me of when you guys played as the tornado in that other game, with the gang

[@jacekatalakis8316]

The not having a warning in 1990 is scarily accurate. Guesssing the game's NWS office was all ehhhh, we need to get every box ticked. meantime an F5 is on the ground destroying everything. Didn't know this game had the NWS mindset from Illinois that year pre-August 28th

[@lamonster_mike]

This looks sick.🤯🤯

[@gamerf1141]

I can't wait to see Jeff play outbrk from the way look it's gotta be fun

[@davidpeters9343]

This was really awesome i enjoyed it alot and loved it i been waiting on another vide of this game and the new updates are pretty cool i know the devs is gonna keep on doing updates and make this game something awesome. And hopefully there working multiplayer it would be awesome to see and you the guys play this together. Anyways keep up the great work much love to ya jeff have a good one take care god bless and i will see ya on the next one brother catch ya later alligator

[@Jdog2201]

YESSS!!!!! Love these games. Im trying to become a meteorologist one day to storm chase for a living!

[@DarkDisc1]

This game has had a lot of updates..was playing it today and the whole interface for the radar and selling data has changed alot. Very very intense 😳 but poor old pilot hill is always getting shafted lol i try to save people but you get those few that refuse to take shelter. I say check it out in its most recent form..its goood

[@matthewshipman-o3c]

Hey man. My name is Matt I plan to study meteorology and Iwanted to say I liked your comments on weather.

[@chrisw443]

such a kick ass game, way better than storm chasers awesome to see a proper storm chasing game!

Jeff on 3:51 is insane chase

[@josecarrilloii4036]

Were he in a *1990 Dodge Power Ram 350 SLT Laramie 4x4 5.9L Cummins 16-valve V8 Turbo Diesel dually,* *_then_* it'd be an insane chase.

[@mysticr3448]

It would be cool if 2 or 3 storms popped up and you had to watch to see which one will be a tornado

[@Blisken81]

Whooo yeaaaar! I love you Jeff!😂

[@Sereous313]

Getting this game tomorrow, really loving all the updates. Does the radar change in structure so its realistic? I'm noticing the tornadoes aren't exactly in the hook echo part.

[@jfavignano]

what I have seen is that the tornadoes will spawn on the back side of the storm in the middle
