The Most Insane Tornado Video Compilation of All Time (Drone & Ground Footage, Andover, KS)

This has to be the most INSANE and bone-chilling tornado drone and ground video footage compilation from the Andover, Kansas EF3 tornado intercept that occurred on April 29, 2022, filmed in part with the Dominator Drone. Audio has been softened for the faint of heart. Miraculously, no lives were lost from this tornado despite immense damage and nearly 1,000 structures impacted. This shows how incredible the tornado warning process was for this storm. We called in the tornado in progress and NWS issued a tornado warning and sirens sounded. We hope that this drone footage can advance our understanding of the tornado relationship with the ground and the influence of friction.

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

When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

[@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.

[@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.

Like it's destroying things very easily without much effort. Scary being in that..

And how fast it moves! And how the area affected on the ground is actually behind the funnel that you visually see, not directly below it. I'm shocked by how fast it moves..you can see the AOE and it just move so fast I see why they say you can't outrun a tornado in car!

Yeah, and not to dog on Reed's incredible footage (esp that drone O_O), but there is sOOOoo much good video of this tornado. 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.

Once outside there was no fog, it was so weird but you could hear a faint sound like if you were surrounded by wind , but yet it wasn't windy out , so I went to my backyard and it felt more intense, while standing there it felt like I was in the middle of a vortex of some kind it scared me and quickly went back inside. There has never been tornadoes ever in the area I live in ,so that always stayed in my mind of what it could have been.

The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob is not like them: for He is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of His inheritance: The LORD of hosts is His name.

[@RockReynolds]

@@arpitshivhare217 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex In fluid dynamics, a vortex (plural vortices/vortexes)[1][2] is a region in a fluid in which the flow revolves around an axis line, which may be straight or curved.[3][4] Vortices form in stirred fluids, and may be observed in smoke rings, whirlpools in the wake of a boat, and the winds surrounding a tropical cyclone, tornado or dust devil.

I was in an F4 tornado 49 years ago. There was no warning, it was dark. I ran from my camper and held on to a tree before it was blown over 300 feet. I was extremely fortunate to escape with minor injuries.

The drone will be at risk off being hit by Debris flying close to tornadoes, plus on the ground; the drone pilot has to be aware of where they're at in reference to the tornado.

[@Strype13]

@@ZxSkyLineKidxZ While correct, these are pretty obvious points. Furthermore, you can mount some incredibly high-quality cameras onto drones. Today's zoom capability is pretty astonishing, so neither one would really have to be all that close to capture some amazing footage.

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. I heard no one was killed in this tornado. Amazing.

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

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.
