Great video. I was hoping you were aware of the storm and so glad that you follow Ryan Hall, he is the best at covering storms and keeping people informed.

[@hollycarey8426]

The Ryan Hall Y'all team is the best. Great footage!

[@Drifter.]

Yes they are! They save thousands of lives every day

[@kabluey_louie1718]

Thank you so much for posting this! My wife and I watched this monster LIVE on Ryan Hall Yalls LIVE broadcast.

[@MarkusPea]

I've been chasing for a few years and 90% of the time I start exactly where you were sitting on top of the.dam. This time I decided to start near Cairo and i got photos of this thing when it was forming over my head. I followed it all the way to Dawson Springs before the police shut the road down ending my chase. I never actually got to see the tornado but I watched that funnel for 25 miles that I couldn't confirm ever touched the ground then it got dark when I should have been able to see it so I was just catching glimpses of the core as lightning flashed. Still the most exciting and amazing chases I've ever had. Congratulations

[@Drifter.]

I stopped at Princeton it was getting to much for a rookie like me.

[@RVAshsinApril]

I'm glad you got to mark it off your list without something bad happening.

[@Drifter.]

Me to

[@ismercier0901]

Agree - well done, mate - wisdom. I appreciate that you not only told yourself not to take too many risks, but you indirectly told others. And thank you for sharing - incredible!

[@Drifter.]

Thank you for watching

[@alliep2494]

Thank you for the great footage! Glad you were able to fulfill a dream :)

[@Drifter.]

Thank you but I will leave it to the perfesionals from now on lol

[@scrappingonthefly77]

That was a wicked storm. Charleston Kentucky outside of Dawson springs and Barnsley Kentucky outside of Earlington Kentucky got hammered really hard again this time too. I was told the Kentucky dam building was taken out, is that so ?

[@Drifter.]

No wasn't much damage around ky dam just few trees down few power lines. I have friends in Muhlenberg County lots of damage around there

[@scrappingonthefly77]

Thank you for confirming! Yeah I heard muhlenburg got hit again. This mess is nuts.

[@reaganmarie7]

yep the drakesboro area got hit hard i’m from muhlenberg and have lots of friends from that area

[@MawMawsGirlz]

So glad you decided to stop! Need you around to keep us company with your amazing videos❤️🫶🏼God bless you

[@Drifter.]

Hey thank you

[@Wheelieweather94]

As someone who has been a weather enthusiast for 20+ years and in the storm spotting/chasing community for the last 3. This is impressive video honestly! The fact you made this your first attempt at storm chasing was it the brightest idea? No. However, you admitted that several times and the fact you know nothing about it. Yet this video is one of the better storm chase videos you’ll actually see on KZbin! Congratulations on your first tornado and welcome to the Weather community!

[@Drifter.]

Hey thank you. It was on my bucket list of things to do. Think I leave it to the pros from now on.

[@Wheelieweather94]

@@Drifter. nah man! You did a heckuva job out there and played that extremely safely did a great job with it. I feel like with a little more knowledge under your belt you’d do real with with this. But hey if it’s not for you it’s not for you man! You did great with it bro! It’s definitely a dangerous thing for sure but as long as you play it safe and keep your distance knowing your escape routes and where that tornado is at all times. You’re okay.

[@Tempest_Tracker]

You the man bro most storm chasers go a life time without seeing a tornado of this magnitude

[@Drifter.]

I just got lucky

[@wiseolesage]

Im glad to see this. That day we got a F-2 tornado in southern Christian County. Still many in the county are without power almost a week ago.

[@Drifter.]

But thankfully you are safe

[@dejaesharp]

Thanks for the content sir! Hope you’re well!

[@Drifter.]

Thank you for watching friend

[@marinevetmom50]

Good for you for over coming your fear and doing what you wanted to do. You did an excellent job! Watched your video from start to the finish! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. Glad your safety was a priority!

[@Drifter.]

Hey thank you friend. I agree it was not the smartest thing to do but it was a baby when I started than it turned into a monster. Best to leave it to the pros from now on

[@Trahzy]

Man it's cool you got to see it, especially around 33:15. But you got real close and it was almost impossible to see by then with how dark it got. Good call ending it when you did and staying safe.

[@Drifter.]

Thank you yea I had no clue what I am doing didn't see a reason to endanger a first responders life having to rescue a moron lol

[@Kenpachi4207]

Appreciate the footage!!

[@Drifter.]

Thank you

[@Carolb66]

Great footage, just tragic at what it was about to do, 😢❤🙏

[@Drifter.]

Yes I agree

[@ergmsg]

Excellent work. I have a request -- may I ask you to provide some of the Route Numbers/Roads you were driving on? I'm familiar with this area, and would appreciate being able to follow your route on Google Maps.

[@Drifter.]

I started on highway 62 going over Kentucky dam following highway 62 all the way through Eddyville after passing through Eddyville I turned east on I 69 the old western KY parkway got off at Princeton exit cause the nado was minutes from crossing over I 69 in front of me bout half mile past Princeton exit

[@ergmsg]

Thank you

[@JH-qu1yd]

Thank You!!

[@Drifter.]

No thank you for stopping by

[@jenniferrice4706]

Great video

[@Drifter.]

Thank you

[@loismiller7742]

I get it, but Ryan was saying over and over again that this was NOT the tornado for rookie people to be chasing storms! I'd be underground!

[@Drifter.]

I agree with you friend. When I started it was just a baby but after it connected with the wall of storms coming south it turned into a monster. You could feel the charge in the air it was fun but from now on I will leave it to the pros

[@loismiller7742]

@@Drifter. I am so glad to know that you recognized where the line was!!! I was watching Ryan's broadcast @ my iPhone, while simultaneously looking at Google earth on iPad. We live in CA, but have lots of family in KY, Indiana ! I was texting the family Mama Bear in Louisville to pass along info. We have cousins in Evansville, Indiana and I have a soft spot for Santa Claus, Indiana. Been there, Done That!

[@WPenn859KY]

I was right in front of you leaving Ky Dam

[@Drifter.]

Did you see the blue jeep driving like a maniac? I saw it in Eddyville at McDonald's lol

[@mcginniscrew88]

Where are you??? Nomatic Drifter?? We miss you! ❤

[@Drifter.]

Hey thank you. I be back right now I taking care of some medical issues the ole back ain't what it use to be. I mainly been hanging around the cabin.

[@Exodus-sb8so]

Ryan Hall y'all, gotta love him

[@Drifter.]

He is a life saver that's for sure

[@JKGartlandJr]

Is this near Ky Dam Village???

[@Drifter.]

Yes it started right above the dam and followed highway 62 all the way to Eddyville

[@JKGartlandJr]

@@Drifter. i was there 2 weeks ago……

[@Drifter.]

Lucky the weather was bad so not many people was out on the water or in the woods. Today is a different story it's a madhouse around here

[@JKGartlandJr]

@@Drifter. Thank you for helping last night !!!!

[@JordanRRNotFounded]

I had one yesterday lol

[@Drifter.]

Glad you ok

[@JordanRRNotFounded]

tornado

[@dwightpeek8006]

Didn't pronounce Kuttawa or Suwanee right so not from western Kentucky

[@Drifter.]

That is correct Ryan hall is from eastern Kentucky

[@tamilindsay9276]

Why Are you using Ryan Hall audio?

[@Drifter.]

Because he does a fantastic job of describing details unlike a hillbilly like me

[@tamilindsay9276]

No matter who you are, Ryan does a fantastic job of weather coverage. His work needs to be credited as his. Your usage is beyond fair use.

[@stevenwendellnelson5228]

Please worship the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, THE LORD GOD and try not to worry too much about the differences between the different religions and denominations, try to think about the similarities and the things they may have in common more than the differences. Daily prayer is a fundamental part that many people do not practice although it is encouraged 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 "CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD, I beg you to never force me to worship any false god and I ask you for forgiveness for my sins and immorality. Thank you for everything. Amen." Please pray this now, pray the words as you read them if you cannot look and remember them

[@Drifter.]

Why would he force you to worship false god when he said thy shall have no other gods before me.

[@DavidFredrickson-xo6pu]

Typical Kentucky guy, can't spell tornado

[@Drifter.]

That is korrect

[@scottlin777]

[@marktalbott3835]

Just so you know. Nomad and drifter are the same thing.

[@Drifter.]

I live full time on the road I am nomadic in my rv and a drifter on my motorcycle. Every thing in life has a reason even tho some my not understand why

[@atw4321]

Dude there is no E in tornado

[@Drifter.]

There is in Kentucky and and it made you leave a comment about it i win again

[@erikaquatsch2190]

Former Vice President Dan Quayle was publicly ridiculed for his spelling of potato; he "corrected" a 12 year-old student's correct spelling of potato to "potatoe," which, of course, was not correct. There is, however, an e in tornadoes.

[@Drifter.]

I from Kentucky lucky I can even spell my name lol

[@RMBlake007]

Dude, you should look at a dictionary before you correct others' spelling. The plural of tornado is with an es at the end. Same for tomato vs tomatoes.
