May 8 2007Tornado video shot form 50 yards
TornadoVideos.net storm chasers Reed Timmer and Joel Taylor shot this INSANE video of a violent tornado from within 50 yards!!! We had to back up at the last second, and my cell phone fell out on the road and was taken away by the tornado!!
If they really wanted to impress me they would've climbed out of their car and got some footage from inside the tornado. I guess they just weren't man enough.

Tornadoes are cool. Been in one, seen another one. Ran like bitches to the basement after 3 seconds. Floodwaters are cool too. I live atop a hill, so the flooding didn't reach me, so I just point and laugh. I wonder why Topeka hates me.

One of the perks of a mobile home. Glad to see you can laugh about it now.

I often have dreams about being chased by tornadoes or clinging to the turf as they're trying to suck me in. And lava. Rivers of molten lava surrounding me and blocking off all routes of escape. Forces of nature do not make for a good night's sleep.
Stupid anxiety disorder.

Yes, James, because all mobile homes have basements to run to.

50 yards, huh? How much you wanna bet I could throw a football over that tornado?

50 yards my ass. They're a lot closer than I would have the balls to be, but there's no way they're only 50 yards away, judging by the trees and everything. I'd buy a couple hundred yards at the least.

The guy who keeps yelling is fucking annoying.

Yeah I have to agree with wisp....That guy was too fucking like "CAN YOU HEAR IT" no fuckhead you are yelling too loud to hear anything else. And he kept zooming in on the base so you just see this something that just looks like a blown steam pipe.

Gotta agree with wisp and bulan. How annoying was the guy filming!!! Shut Up!
I live in Australia, so tornadoes are really fascinating to me, i hardly ever see them in videos like that.
