I tried do a study on the like what the Indians did and all really get is they knew weather so great that they either got out area or maybe they even had plans for that spinning cloud which they prob called it and had ditches or something. It's something I would love to learn. Also read they did weather dances and had this thing with their gods and literally said it drove tornados around them. Kind like one video where tornado is forming over lady in Kentucky and she starts talking in tongues to God to go around her and the tornado actually spared her and took 3 lives down road

One of the most impressive things about some of that footage is how stable the drone was

[@suspensionrailway7094]

Tornadoes are very localized events. It didn't even destroy the houses around it, only the ones it touched. The drone was stable due to this fact

[@SadBadge]

Also, the camera on the drone was likely very zoomed in.

[@moogle68]

@@SadBadge The greater the zoom, the more any motion is exacerbated, so if it's very zoomed in, that just makes it even more impressive that the footage looks like it was shot from a camera attached to an iron girder that was driven 50ft into the ground. There has been an incredible amount of new accessories created in recent years that helps keep all sorts of cameras stable, but drones are notoriously difficult to keep steady compared to using any of the hand held accessories, so I'd love to know what they were using, and what model of drone as well. The drone, or maybe even the uploader, may have used some kind of stabilization software as well, but regardless of how they did it, this is impressively stable and clear footage.

No rain, good afternoon lighting, and most crucially a VERY small vortex size/radius, especially for such a powerful tornado... hardly wider than a residential lot at times. That made it REALLY easy for people to be much closer than usual, distances from rotation center that would be disorienting or even extremely dangerous for average size tornadoes. There are phone vids from random folks at the grocery store that are in the top 10 most clear and illuminating tornado videos I've seen.

[@thefreeman8791]

It might work to understand the weather better but it won’t work in order for earlier warning. They only way to have an early warning is to issue the warning whenever clouds are spinning but then the problem is that spinning clouds don’t firm into tornadoes most of the time. So when I hear a tornado warning go off where I live in KS I go out to see fir myself because that is what they do. If I just see clouds turning above me and no funnel then I’ll stay outside and watch it until I know what it’s gonna do but I do not rely on the weather radio for accurate information. Last time, a tornado hit a mile from my house but the weather radio did not talk about it until five minutes after it passed and I knew about it because I saw it forming and took shelter and then after my brother, who is a firefighter fir the county, texted me and told me it was moving away from where I lived did I get a notification on the weather radio.

It's amazing how the tornado starts from the ground up and then meets in the middle to connect with the funnel coming down.

[@TheReptylle]

The Tornado in the cloud has moisture, while at ground level it has dirt/debris. The Tornado itself is fully formed but not visible without the cloud/debris.

[@peterkpau]

Tornados are always coming top-down. The spinning air is transparent until it meets dirt or smoke. The moisture from the cloud may or may not be visible.

This was one of the most beautiful tornadoes I have ever seen on film. Strange how they can be so beautiful yet so deadly and destructive. I watched one go by my house the week before so I don't take them lightly. Many years ago one went by house when living in Illinois. The sky was the most beautiful cobalt blue and dark aquamarine.

[@The_Phoenix_Saga]

For those who live in the region aptly known as Tornado Alley it's just a fact of life. Tornadoes can form just about anywhere under the right conditions; there are about 30 a year in the UK but go mostly unnoticed as they're far too weak - barely even reaching EF1. In parts in the US like Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas; in the late spring to mid summer especially, the fact that the warm winds from the Gulf of Mexico are met with cooler, dry winds from the Atlantic at a convenient verging nexus makes for perfect spawning grounds for not only the Supercell but also some mighty fearsome twisters.

You get used to it. After a while, you're hanging out on your porch watching one take out a neighbor's house a few miles away, then getting your tools and driving to the location to help dig them out.

I live in Atlantic Canada we have snow storms I would rather put up with snow and cold for a couple of months of the year than to live in Tornado Alley dealing with that every year we might have the odd roof collapse because of the way to snow but that's something you can deal with if you're not lazy but there is no way to prepare for a tornado even if you had a bunker most people wouldn't be home at the time that these things happen and someone commented that these are just houses but man you know they're probably people in those houses too I'm sure not everyone of those buildings were empty even if you have insurance you still lose all your personal stuff your photographs and memories hard to replace that🇨🇦🇨🇦

@@anthonybelyea1964 problem is, they happen in Canada too, just as they do in the UK and anywhere else in the world. It's just in that expanse of the US the conditions are much more frequent. I mean consider Earthquakes; they're far more common along faultlines - California has them a whole lot more then most parts of the US and yet New York is situated on a dozen of faultlines.
