TOP 5 Storm Chasing Events of 2021 - Tornado & Hurricane Season Highlights

[@cryptonite8495]

I agree with the compliments on the production, though I wish the electronic music was a few decibels lower so I could hear the wind better. When you said "I can hear it," I couldn't.

[@TornadoTrackers]

Great feedback! Thank you! Be sure to check out this playlist for the raw audio versions: kzbin.info/aero/PLO1NuP1tTRXlece9w3X7_ehhruNLR-qgz

Funny thing about this last year. I was planning to take a few weeks off in May and head out west to see if I could spot anything, but I never got the chance. What I didn’t expect was a brief visit from an EF-1 in my home town! In… December?

[@Channel-ld9ip]

Well done- expertly filmed and finely edited. Having endured both an F3 tornado on July 19, 2018 and a derecho on August 10th, 2020 in Marshalltown, Iowa, the footage humbly reminded me of their power. And a derecho is indeed an inland hurricane! I especially enjoyed images of mammatus clouds. They are otherworldly in their strangeness.

[@Oshsbaby]

I’m in CB iowa, that 08/10/22 was INSANE, that’s also my birthday! So I remember ut well

[@beccasmithers2672]

Hurricane coverage was amazing. I'm used to hurricanes. I live an hour and 20 minutes from the nearest coast. So I'm close. We get hurricanes just about every year. My hub us from the Georgia mountains so hurricanes were new to him when he came here. The winds can get super strong and have tornadoes embedded in them to.

Thanks! Those are original tracks made by our team. You can play several of them here: soundcloud.app.goo.gl/5zzxYufdEvXy8KrY6

[@Rhodanide]

@@TornadoTrackers Awesome, thanks! I love what your team does. Don't get much of anything up here in Maine besides the occasional blizzard, so you guys have really scratched my severe weather itch, so to speak. What program do you use to edit?

[@TornadoTrackers]

@@Rhodanide Oh I can 100% relate! I (Gabe) grew up in Maine. It was my childhood dream to move to Texas and chase storms, and somehow it all worked out. We use Premiere Pro to edit our videos.

[@Rhodanide]

@@TornadoTrackers Oh no way! What part? I grew up in Cape Elizabeth. I use premiere pro as well for my projects. Storm chasing was that little desire in the back of my head that got pushed down with the other responsibilities in my life, so sadly it never bore fruit. Seeing a tornado up close is definitely on my bucket list, near the top too.

[@TornadoTrackers]

@@Rhodanide I hear ya. I was on track to making film my career, because it was more responsible. But a weak tornado hit my office after I moved to Florida ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJzGdIyVos-cZ5I ) and brought all the dreams rushing back. I used film as my gateway into chasing. I grew up just outside of Lewiston in the town of Sabattus. Spent summers outside watching storms roll in and even rode out a few blizzards in Cape Elizabeth!

[@catherinehubbard1167]

Eerie and beautiful, the funnels and rushing clouds seeming alive. The hurricane looked like a huge tornado core. I thought the music added a lot, especially since there was no screaming. It’s odd to me how people keeping driving into visible tornados.

[@happyfaic72]

Dude. The footage is amazing, and the music is even better. In love with this video! Is there more from where that drone shot in the intro came?

Great footage and video. I'm a Jansen but the closest I've ever been to a tornado was in central Wisconsin. On a 2 lane highway a tornado touched down right behind our truck. My husband did a heroic job of keeping the truck on the road and driving us away from it. We all were shaking, even the dog!

[@TornadoTrackers]

Whoa! That must have been such a nerve-wracking experience!

[@heatherstub]

Please forgive me for asking, but were you not wearing your seatbelt during some of this footage? If so, please set a better example for us all by doing so. I'm asking, because I'm totally blind, and I hear that binging sound from the car, so it seems evident. Thank you so much for tracking these storms for us all, and stay safe out there.

After recently losing my house to an E3 tornado in Kentucky I have to say they are beautiful, like I watched the sky go from green to a beautiful vibrant purple but by God once you've been through it, its a huge realization of how scary it is sounds from peaceful silence to loud af, the destruction it leaves, how fast they take everything in seconds plus all the anxiety afterwards. You never here a tornado siren the same again. Gosh, how scary it must be to chase them.

[@TornadoTrackers]

So sorry to hear about your home. That must have been an absolutely terrifying experience. We’re glad to know you made it through safely!

[@Shiny39]

Hey how can I be a storm chaser. Love your videos and the work storm chasers out and I was in Mayfield Kentucky when they got hit by a tornado

[@TornadoTrackers]

Thank for watching, Daniel. Before hitting the road, the first steps into storm chasing are learning to forecast, learning to identify different parts of storms, and (the best intro) attending a Storm Spotter training course. Every local National Weather Service office hosts these trainings at least once a year. I think most are online right now because of the pandemic, but you should be able to find a link and get the basic knowledge down. Once you have those down you can start to venture out and observe from a distance. The more experience you get, the more you'll know when it's safe to get a bit closer. The biggest thing is to be patient. Storm chasing is 80% driving, 19% waiting, and 1% actually chasing storms.

I LOVE Storms! Tho dangerous, they are mesmerizing. Your videography is AMAZING! Every shot is precise. Perfectly balanced in frame. Mother Nature is a Diva! Edit: In High School, we had a 'rare' tornado event. I was super excited, yet scared to death! The sky was green & it was eerily quiet for such a long time. Then the hail came & the wind. This tornado ran for miles tearing up farms & a few homes. The reason that I am mentioning this is bc it is incredibly rare to have a tornado here. (Ontario, Canada) Since then we have had an increasing amount of them each year.
