Large Tornado, Winchester, IN - 3/14/2024

[@faithhopelove7777777]

I knew we had a Tornado but it was hard to see & the lightning was crazy! No sirens went off either as usual. Thanks for doing REAL WEATHER REPORTS! God bless!!!

[@Zachary125]

Same

[@lindabradford9591]

Glad you all are ok. How scary.

[@rebelroar78]

Not surprised no sirens went off. The sirens go off when they can see the tornado and this one was at night. They really need to sound them if there’s a very strong radar indication, like a clear hook echo and debris returns.

[@elimoore2467]

Sirens literally went off?? My work got hit and it gave us about 4 min to prepare before it came

[@jobethk588]

Thank you for not screaming. Stay safe.

[@ericspratt3164]

Simon Brewer never screams. That’s just about as excited as he gets. Been around for years; one of the best

[@karenmbbaxter]

I agree....I hate when these chasers scream....It's unprofessional.

[@darrellgarlock8478]

Big Cone!

[@thunderrooster65]

You are pretty chilled I watched the whole video.

[@dawsonoverleese2008]

Thanks for this video…I live here and the tornado nearly hit my home…violent storm honestly. Devasting for all the buildings and homes we lost.

[@rhondaeverett8284]

My hometown. Heartbreaking to see. Thank God no deaths.

[@ClergetMusic]

I live in nearby Muncie and we watched this tornado form as it passed us by.

[@Sam-vc7ol]

Same as these stories live a block away from Stone Mansion on south Main Street it’s terrible alone but seeing and knowing people who lost everything feel bad for them they worked hard for that and to see it in rubbish or gone is saddest thing! Thanks for the video.

[@brian5o]

I can’t imagine anything more scary than chasing tornadoes in the dark.

[@rhythmiknoise]

How about living in a tornado prone city and the weather guy says there's a tornado somewhere grinding around in your city....and it's also night time ...

[@josie291662]

Amen

[@josie291662]

Nope, natta

[@RhinoXpress]

That's what night vision is for. If I was chasing down tornado's for a living I'd definitely would have a night vision camera on hand.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

The hilly, wooded terrain of SE WI can be quite a challenge during the day & is quite the adventure at night. Albeit exponentially more dangerous.

[@dannyc6166]

Great shots Simon!!!👏👏👏👏👏

[@yourunaverageweeb]

Crazy how so many tornadoes in Indiana tend to be ef0 or ef1, then you get the occasional one like this. Indiana is a scary state for me to live in sometimes lol.

[@emilywiemann5868]

I was raised in Indiana and now live in Alabama.I was nervous about tornadoes in Indiana but the tornadoes and storms down here are insane. The thunderstorms themselves are beasts compared. It's beautiful and scary. Indiana is wonderfully tame....well sometimes.

[@TCK-9]

That's par for the course everywhere. Lower intensity storms are much more common than monsters. But yes a few areas tend towards more tornadoes which then increases the odds of more powerful ones.

[@pietjebell]

Wow 😮 awesome tornado 🌪 video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ourblazingworld]

You guys did an excellent job thanks. Stay safe

[@-Cbomba-]

Thank you so much for sharing me that's insane

[@TwisterRadarWX]

oh wow he was just behind me! 1:25 that's my truck. prayers to all affected was a crazy night

[@Argumedies]

I was in Coesse, IN, when these storms rolled in and while it wasn't anywhere near here (but within the same line) i was still expecting one with the hail and heavy rain they had.

[@CRABBYBAG]

God bless you guys , prayers going up 🥺😢😪😪

[@interstate3013]

Like that will do anything...

[@Lilpeanut9]

I heard that sound in Muncie. It would start sounding like that then stop then started again. I believe it was trying to start.

[@ClergetMusic]

It was. My neighbors and I watched it form.

[@Lilpeanut9]

@@ClergetMusic lol I was outside taking pictures and video northwest side of Muncie, but thinking, I hope I don't get struck by lightning!

Fun video! I've never seen a tornado in my entire life, except on KZbin. Thank the Lord.

[@JamieB1983]

I live 30 mins from Winchester and I was driving from Richmond after the sirens went off there and it was eerily scary! I just knew there was a tornado close, it was pitch black, lightning everywhere and looked foggy bc of all the dirt getting kicked up! I almost pulled in somewhere but made it home safe thank God! Great video! 👍 glad you were safe as well!

[@lloydbellis7360]

That was insane. Hope no one was hurt ? Good luck and keep safe. Thank you

[@scgaliop7921]

As of last night at about 11:00 pm, according to the Indiana State Police, three people died in Winchester. I stand corrected. Just watched a press conference from the ISP. They said that they had not confirmed any fatalities. That’s good news!

[@JoelL_3]

I live just outside of where this happened it was terrifying, many people lost there homes

[@glorygracek.1841]

Thank you for not cussing! I really appreciate it!

[@reneefurrer2712]

Selma was hit by this tornado then it hit Winchester. 3 deaths have been reported in I believe, Winchester, IN. Much damage in both areas. Prayers for those who lost loved ones and for those cleaning up after the tornado.

[@rhondaeverett8284]

No deaths in Winchester, 3 critically injured.

[@michaelnaretto3409]

Chasing during daylight is eerie enough. To do so in the dark is insane.

[@mistyburden5459]

That was east of Muncie!

[@lindabradford9591]

Thanks, I wondered where Winchester was. I'm south of Gary.

[@persiangodlegend8166]

i prayed before the storm hit glad my family is okay and others and their family pray we have a blessed and better year no for us all

[@roosterpayne7631]

I live in northern IL, last spring we had a tornado come through, and saw an amber flash like that..

[@sparkynate91]

That's got to be an explosion right? Because anything electrical would look blue like a welding arc

[@sparkynate91]

And I know that because I've been an electrician for 13 years. The only time I've seen anything electrical flash orange like that is when a HUGE explosion has happened!!! So either this tornado hit a main transfer station that routes power to a very large area or it hit something else that blew up

[@TCK-9]

@@sparkynate91LP gas tank or similar was hit hard or thrown into something.

[@Col.J.Bex3]

It was close to where I live.

[@sparkynate91]

What was that orange flash? I know the blue ones are transformers or powerlines... but was that an explosion? It had to be a giant ball of fire to cause the entire sky to go orange!

[@HillbillyTosh]

Gas line

[@TCK-9]

Probably a LP or natural gas tank that got hit hard or thrown. Or similar equipment.

[@sparkynate91]

@@TCK-9 that had to of been a pretty big tank to make the entire sky orange

[@feliciacopeland3322]

CALL ME CRAZY BUT THAT IS BEAUTIFUL SCARY

[@Bobby_wobby]

I can't believe that you can't see the tornado besides the lightning flashes. Shows ya how dangerous night tornados really are. Luckily where I am at we didn't get hit thank god, sky did turn green though.

[@-vincit--veritas-5588]

Is it just me or were there not any warning sirens going off during any of this event...

[@gsdalpha1358]

Outside of towns, there aren't tornado sirens. At least, not in my part of Indiana. My parents had a weather warning radio which would sound an alarm. We live near a tornado siren now, but we really, really watch weather news this time of year, have Code Red on our phones - and if potential is high - we listen to our police scanner.There are certified weather watchers in the county who notify the police of possible rotation or severe weather. Police dispatchers then send an alert "attention all home monitors" and pass along the info. And we pay attention to the cloud movements if it's daylight. We've been through three tornados, luckily the worst damage was to our roof. You bet the first thing on my list when we bought our home was *basement*.

[@-vincit--veritas-5588]

Well interestingly here in rural northern Michigan our county has multiple loud sirens thru out the county and test them multiple times a year. Even on the townships website they give what the different types of siren sounds indicate for many different emergencies, along with local fire and central dispatch call outs on scanner frequencies. Then again cell service here is sub par and not everyone is near a TV, radio or signal capable cellular service around here. So yep those sirens are useful.

[@Trahzy]

​@@-vincit--veritas-5588The sirens need power after all

This tornado was all over the place , Worst places hit was like here in Winchester Ind and almost completly leveled the area at Indian lake at Russells point in Ohio , I was outside watching and it went by my house about a mile northwest of greenville ohio , Seen the funnel when the lightning lit up the sky and it sounded like a freight train coming thru , RIP to the ones lost !

[@TCK-9]

There were likely dozens of tornadoes last evening, the storms were along a large swath of the country.

You have the best tornado videos, but that watermark in the center of the video makes it unwatchable. Just being honest. It’s like each tornado has a vast, oozing pustule in the middle of it.

Also, the sirens will only sound for a certain amount of time and then they will stop. This doesn’t mean that the danger is over.

For anyone who wants to see tornado footage with no screaming, look up VortexVA’s channel. He has lots of old tornado footage that was shot on camcorder. The people filming had no clue it would end up on KZbin so they just talked normally.
