Incredible footage. I've been in a few of those - was caught in my car near Wichita Falls/Burk back in 95 (it was a small F1 that, thankfully, never touched down in city limits... but it went over my car and made it SWIM and DANCE along the highway in near whiteout conditions! That one freaked me out!!!!). I saw the 99 Moore tornado moments after it hit, the 79 WF tornado (i was little back then and it didn't really register) and the 2000 Fort Worth tornado as I drove in right behind it, watching its approach. I'm supposed to be "used to" them after all these years. Well, I may not be scared of them necessarily - because honestly, they're awe inspiring and quite the sight to behold. But if I'm actually in one, all bets are off and it's time to wet my pants once again. Wow.

BTDT. Got boxed in with traffic as they stopped, rain bands hit like a fire hose on the windshield, can't even see the very short and very near hood of my van though it's mid-afternoon. Electrical substation about 150 ft away on the downwind side as the van rocks up on two wheels- twice- as the winds increase. Don't know how strong it's going to be but can't do anything except ride it out as there's no ditches or buildings, just an open field all around. Spookiest feeling in the world. After it passes I'm driving past downed signs, parts of roofs, and light debris everywhere. Later on find out I was just inside an EF-1... Not something I care to do again- ever!

4:54 I more focused on the Arby’s, KFC, and Taco Bell than the tornado🤣

What a beast!!!!!!!

[@CoachSRYA]

Around the end of the video a large well built house is being leveled it just shows that a rope causing ef0 damage can be leveling large houses in like several minutes

It is a portion of unmentioned reality that the police department and highway patrol are often ahead of the storm chasers or right by them to prevent further travel into or away from an on coming tornado. I still can visualize in the El Reno tornado footage of a storm chaser doing his best to escape the on coming monster tornado and recording the passenger shooting from the back seat out the broken back window as the truck or suv , was racing down the road. The video showed one or two cruisers just parked at the intersection and assumably going to be engaged with the winds of the tornado. Those officers were not running away from their responsibilities to prevent travel one way or another. It's certain to believe that nobody from the departments were killed by the El Reno tornado, but it was obvious that the had just as good as any to be a victim of the wide spread twister because of their closenset to the beast of a tornado is was and the reported casualties soon after the tornado had pasted through and roped out.
