Epic dude!

[@jamespahlsson8133]

Thank you for helping people in trouble and thank you for teaching us about the weather ☁️

[@stevenkleinhenz1017]

I was watching live! Hero for a family in need!

[@curlyanneb1973]

You and Pecos Hank. Only two I watch and respect.

[@tmmtmm]

Same here. The amount of tornado tourettes (and complete lack of self preservation) on most other channels makes them unwatchable.

[@erinhayes8552]

You should also check out MesoHunter. He's not crazy like Timmer or some of the others,and he's really calm most of the time. He doesn't try to get right up in the tornadoes face either if you know what I mean.

[@trinity7776]

Thank you Daniel for all that you do. We are very blessed to have our brother from down under chasing storms in the USA.

[@SurelyYewJest]

Man after my own heart. In another life I'd have been a storm chaser. I like how you get out the SLR and start grabbing detail landscapes. You must have some amazing shots over the years.

[@yasminb6013]

Brilliant work as always Daniel. With the chase, S&R and the edit, you truly encapsulate the range of emotions from that day. Well done!

[@petermiller4953]

Here in the States, we call em windshields(and tbh, the term works out so much better, as a screen allows things through yet, and a shield doesn't!

[@Angelvoice4977]

Real good to see you back Daniel 🌪️🌪️🌪️

[@garyfox33]

Thanks for sharing Daniel. Great job done by Vince, Corey and yourself during the S&R. Stay safe out there.

[@mikerich9227]

I watched this on Patreon stream. As a Career Firefighter/Medic (retired) I instantly went into 1st responder mode mentally. It was intense to say the least. Good job documenting and S&R.

[@excalibur1812]

12 hours ago Greetings from Killeen, Texas. You're just a few hours away from me. My gosh, I have a splitting headache and my blood pressure is way up just watching this! I cannot imagine being in this.

[@lrev9556]

I truly love how you center yourself. You exercised great calmness. You are a proper and smart chaser. Definitely, will subscribe for future content. Safe chasing!

[@user-cb9rp9kw3e]

Great compliment {to Daniel Shaw} natures intersting yet this is very serious= our first view here...NOW we will watch this too! Thanks.. Irev9556!

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Thank you very much for being there and being prepared. Your knowledge and expertise is really appreciated. Also your being so conscious of safety. We couldn't stand it to lose one of you guys. Thanks again. And the cloud structure at the end was eerie. What a year so far and I am just waiting for our turn in Michigan.

[@WanderingRoe]

This one was beautiful, literally brought tears to my eyes. Tornadoes are fascinating and frightening. 😖❤️

[@mickyparker3949]

What can I say, exceptional work you guys do and I just loved your ending. God bless you.

[@user-fe7cy2bl7v]

Daniel, the sequence you end this video with, the massive storm cloud with all that electrical activity inside it: awesome, spectacular, stunningly beautiful. My heart rate right up - all that beauty alongside the emergency and the awful damage. You said yourself cruelty and beauty. Stay safe.

[@obsidianwing]

Great Chase ,Great Team Work with Vince and Corey Daniel! This high based Tornado was great Luck for you.

[@SamuraiKitty420]

i hope to see these streams more often. caught one last week or so and been waiting for another. ive clicked on some other channels that stream storms but they just dont compare to an aussie chasing em. lol

[@mike17917]

Subscribed after watching the Pilger 2014 video. Love how you are genuinely interested in the welfare of the victims of these natural beasts. Stay safe dude.

[@MrMagnat007]

Daniel. Not another Windscreen ! Looks like the Hail guard is in need of some repairs too . Thanks for doing what you do !

[@chadnahinurk293]

Good work Daniel catch more of these awesome video's prayers for the ones that were effeced by tornado

[@rj66600]

Amazing work and footage. But I’m not gonna lie. That close up shot of that destroyed house brought tears to my eyes. They lost everything.

[@ohkaygoplay]

Good to see you and the little white RAV back in action. Some gorgeous footage of the tornado, and heartbreaking footage of those impacted by it. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us.

[@tmmtmm]

Have you thought about getting an LED sign to mount to the back of the RAV so you can display "tornado ahead" or similar to passing traffic? Might prevent a few people blindly driving into a rain wrapped tornado.

[@christopheraimbau7975]

Merci Daniel pour cette magnifique vidéo et bravo pour l'aide apportée aux victimes

[@marleymcleay9228]

That smooth channel strike was an absolute belter.

[@apismellifera1000]

I though the same thing as well

[@sharleeyased9936]

The storm was so strong and what could be possibly be safe beside safety first.Yet the courage of wanting to witness what happening to the world surrounding us is what the chase about.Stay safe guys.Gid bless and thank you.

[@christianwessling8300]

I love your videos Daniel they are the best

[@PsychoticWolfie]

Why was there a Minecraft pig dying at 4:30 though?? 😂😂

[@djrazoredgeoftherevelator6868]

Daniel is going to get fired because sandra has to pay for another windshield

[@kimmy9737]

😂😂😂

[@juliegeneric042]

Haha

[@erinhayes8552]

Lol

[@Og-Judy]

Collateral damage when storms throw golf ball hail at you😛

[@binsauer9561]

Thanks for this great video. Informative and worth seeing!👏

[@summerdreams7949]

Amazing footage and not yelling thankyou so much⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍

[@katys.7767]

The first 15 minutes can't get anymore textbook than this. What a beautiful structure. You really have a lot of luck to see such a huge textbook structure with large hail and nearby lightning strikes, all at once. This tornado was beautiful. Brilliant work throughout the whole video, Daniel!

[@kathyroux7386]

Thank you for your insight on search and rescue with Vince.

[@donniev8181]

Great footage Daniel, great catch.

[@cheddar2648]

Great captures. Gorgeous work.

[@irondarknessdarkness8900]

as an aside ..wandering into the roadside scrub in TX and other states in the us wher you generally chase a set of snake boots might be in order.

[@zeldaw1093]

Great job 🌪️🐨

[@ChazR25]

You always seem to publish great quality video. Excellent job

[@Og-Judy]

He should, with all the thousands of $$$ of electronics he has. Why he went to Patreon. To support all the $$$$$ video equipment. Most US chasers aren't in it for the video quality, they're out there chasing reporting conditions to locals in the path and render aid, regardless of color saturation and pixels and other "camera" stuff 🤷

[@todjk1234]

Thanks!

[@kimmy9737]

Hi Dan, Good to see you live! Looks like this year's La Nina won't disappoint us here in Australia... But I wonder, Does this year's La Nina affect the U.S's tornado season?

[@A.D.R.J.Coleman]

Yess! My favorite Aussy

[@jon952]

Fantastic!! Kickass!!

[@LurkMoar101]

Dan, those last few minutes of silent lightning were so surreal, reminded me of the lead up to Close Encounters. Good to see you back, safety first brother.

[@ericablue32]

Daniel! Starting the season off right! 😀

[@2pintsofblood]

Welcome back to Texas!

[@cozgrjr4242]

Love your videos and thank you for doing them . I know all the storm chasers do this for a good reason . Please be careful.

[@bobbywummerphotography9798]

Wow I am so glad that I found your channel! I am a lightning and wildlife photographer in Florida. Your footage is breathtaking ❤

[@philsmith6583]

Hi Daniel , wow mate great vid , though felt for those who lost their houses but pleased no one died. Wow what a great tornado perfectly formed , you will have some great pics from that. thanks for taking with you

[@tomsummer5336]

Watching from New Zealand very interesting

[@danielgoulding4623]

Go Daniel !

[@americanpatriot9018]

Great video of tornado.

[@dwindeyer]

I was wondering when you were going to show up this season mate, it's been popping off

[@alexschmollinger6576]

Daniel I love ❤️ Watching your Tornado 🌪 Chasing KZbin Videos and Tornadoes 🌪 are Fascinating and Scary at the same time Do you Ever Take People out Tornado 🌪 Chasing???? Keep the Tornado Chasing KZbin Videos Coming Daniel 💯💯💯💯💯❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@nyanbinary1717]

I watched this happen on a few different streams and caught Freddy McKinney's rescue of a family just after that thing chewed up their home. It was genuinely distressing to watch from halfway across the country. I can't imagine what it was like to be there.

[@MrPatrickhawes]

All of that multi - vortex action at 7 mins in. Wow!

[@petermiller4953]

Well, today's gonna one for the record books, potentially. High risk day! Good luck out there Daniel!

[@maryg-xj3zw]

Wow, that's huge!

[@quark1]

Dammm thought you were live now with the grapefruit hail expected 😊

[@XJwolf4]

My favorite chases are the ones when you use the ham.

[@user-sz4fr9wb2i]

At 54:10 as the tornado touches down if you tilt your Head to the left you can see the stretched out mouth of someone screaming in the clouds,eyes,nose,mouth, forehead and cheeks 😍 it's as if the sky itself has come alive and is screaming in pain at the sight of the destruction in its Wake..I've seen nothing like it in all my life but once you've seen it you can't unsee it

[@Rev.GailDickinson-Thomatos]

As I watched Corey's video, I saw old men's faces, an angry llama, a pig, a kitten, and more. I also thought I saw a monster's face too.

[@rndm589]

You and hank always have the best footage while staying calm, cool, and collective. Not like reed timmer, he's always screaming for no reason.

[@catpoke9557]

I mean, Reed IS chasing tornadoes lol. The fact this guy and Hank can stay calm is unusual

[@rndm589]

@@catpoke9557 it's professional. Not unusual

[@tmmtmm]

@@catpoke9557 yeah but there's no need to be constantly screaming obvious things that anyone with eyes can see

[@devildoggaming4603]

That’s why I can’t watch him

[@TorchDeeJ]

@@tmmtmmthen don’t watch them. It’s honestly more entertaining. Then this

[@ErikButterworth]

Hey, Daniel? Did you happen to hear about storm chaser Freddy McKinney and how he rescued a family whose home was demolished by the tornado and they, especially the kids, were seriously injured?

[@catpoke9557]

I watched this tornado form live on KZbin. It was a puny thing at first. I had no idea it would become so destructive. Surreal to think about

[@faceTunes]

If you pause the vid at 10:18 the tornado fills with lightning and it is pretty amazing.

[@Abbieyt433]

I almost got one too, It was raining very hard and there were lots of thunder, Almost causing a tornado which makes me scared.

[@davezobeljr9025]

It's really strange how some tornadoes can look so nasty and then some look peaceful and calm. but all dangerous.

[@skylark17]

what a place to live be like living in another world

[@darlenewood8910]

Wow

[@juliegeneric042]

How fast is that going

[@nancylk2946]

At 41:43 is that a Dog on the right, in the grass. At that point it sounds like Dan is trying to lead a dog or some animal into the truck--- Doesn't it??

[@juliegeneric042]

Huge

[@davidkaminski615]

Smart idea having that brain bucket!

[@MrPatrickhawes]

Using a different Vehicle? What happened to your hail shield? Nvm Just got different camera angles. Nice!

[@zanereese4796]

Please don't stand near a fence during a storm.

[@gavinmclean3174]

Daniel when you replace your car, think about a Lexan windscreen yes a little pricy but $ 500 for one that wont break

[@juliegeneric042]

Dang

[@TimberTramp]

Radio guys are hilarious

[@Velodynamic]

Windscreen broke, -$500 Hail

[@blackchecker2009]

wooow i see no bot comments here 😱 how much km have you car know 😅

[@curlyanneb1973]

It’s playing hide and seek with you

[@Starchild42]

I thought I'd heard an Aussie last year...now, why would you come up to see our breezy weather?! Good footage, except why do you film the foliage??? 😂 We have cow!!!

[@juliegeneric042]

Tornado 8

[@jasonrhodes9726]

We are Americans, so we are invulnerable and invincible, even when proven wrong Mate.

[@hurricaneheather1420]

The date is incorrect

[@Michigan_Adventures]

Is it? This was yesterday I believe!

[@zeldaw1093]

Dates are relative to where you are.. today is the 4th and that was yesterday 🤯

[@Michigan_Adventures]

@@zeldaw1093 indeed

[@StuartConsulting]

Hope your insurer pays for that windscreen, just don’t mention in the claim you are a storm chaser. 👍

[@jessicabenson9017]

Be mindful, my guy. You're in Texas in the spring and summer... Keep an eye out for random rattlesnakes. Especially around fence rows and tall grass. Texas is littered in them, so please keep that in mind. Don't lose focus on smaller dangers and have tunnel vision 💯 Remain safe 🙏 😊

[@ritacarl]

Reed trimmer gets overly excited with pdts storm's

[@user-kj4hs5lj6f]

Yo

[@nancykennon310]

Yelling just distorts

[@Joseph-es6mu]

Who cares its texass. Let God sort it out.

[@bigjimfanning]

This guy is a horrible cameraman. Instead of filming the tornado, he keeps dropping the camera towards the ground and jumping around. So frustrating
