I’m going to try and get some footage from the recent Rolling Fork tornado that hit Rolling Fork, Mississippi in late March 2023, as well as the late March-early April 2023 tornado outbreak.

Dang you are blowing up! Your videos are the coolest most horrifying to watch. Especially because this actually happens and happened.
Just a quick reminder (Not to knock the great video). El Reno 2013 was downgraded to an EF3 because there was not enough damage in the path to warrant an EF5 rating even with the extreme wind speeds
Embrace the horror lol
Joplin Trucker Is A Devoted One For Sure! You Rock Mr. Beats! Wow! I knew that recording, Was a Keeper. ,⛈️🌩️🌪️🚛🎶🎵 The Break 1Nine, Got Yo Ears On, Cuz Dar Aint No🎵 Twistah Going🎶 to Stop🎵Dis🎶 🎶Load I Am🎵 Ah Haulin🎶!!!!😂😂😂
#1 and #3 should be titled "Dumb truckers driving into tornados." Geez!!!
That 2nd clip was no EF4, unless that vortex that we see crossing the parking lot was simply one of many sub-vortices of the main rotation.
I've seen more of that 3rd clip before. The guy just keeps on driving! At any point, he could have pulled over to the side of the road and waited it out, but he claims he can't for some reason. It makes no sense.
EVERY OTHER TRUCKER 🚚 I KNOW, LOVES ❤️ TO DRIVE THROUGH TORNADOES 🌪 NOT ME THOUGH! I OWN MY TRUCK, ONE 2X4 THROUGH MY RADIATOR 💥 AND I'M LOOKING AT +$10,000 💰 REPAIRS. 😂 ONLY HAD ONE CLOSE CALL IN MISSISSIPPI. SKY WAS DARK GREEN AT ABOUT 14:00, TONS OF RAIN/WIND, 4WHEELERS COOPED-UP UNDER BRIDGE WITHOUT HAZARDS ON, HAD TO JAKE-3 TO COMPLETE STOP AND AIRHORNED MY WAY THROUGH TO A CITGO NEXT EXIT. PARKED BETWEEN TWO VANS. PULLED CURTAINS, WRAPPED IN A BLANKET, SAID A PRAYER 🙏. THE CITGO GOT A HAIRCUT, TRASH EVERYWHERE. ON HIGHWAY 🛣 WAS ABOUT 1/4 MILE THRASHED TREES🌲 GOING ACROSS, SOUTHBOUND WAS SHUTDOWN. BAD THING ABOUT TORNADOES 🌪 IN THE SOUTH IS ALL THE TREES 🌲 HIDE YOUR VIEW; WHEREAS IN TEXAS/OKLAHOMA YOU CAN SEE 'EM SEVERAL MILES AWAY. OH YEAH, AVOID BRIDGES 🌉 AND OVERPASSES, I'VE SEEN CARS 🚗 FLIPPED AND MANGLED, I THINK MYTHBUSTERS SAID THE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIATION AMPLIFIED THE WINDSPEED OR SOMETHING? 🤔
The truck driver headed to El Reno had at least one chance to take exit ramp and go across bridge and enter back on highway going in opposite direction.
Why in the hell would you stand outside while the tornado is destroying your house? Your not invincible!
Number 2 is just terrible parenting. Like wth are you doing
"There's nowhere to pull over except literally the entire shoulder of the highway!" Lmao wtf is wrong with these people?
Dude in the pickup truck kept driving down the highway despite the darkening sky, severely worsening weather, and every other vehicle on the road having already pulled over.
Dude in the semi-truck pretends like all of the exits and open shoulder on the road that he's passing don't really exist, and the only choice he has is to drive directly into the tornado 🤦🏻♀️ even if the shoulder and exits weren't there, he could just… STOP. In the damn lane. Ffs
And then dude on his back porch… I mean wtf can you even say about someone so stupid?? I totally understand wanting to watch and film the tornado as it approaches, but you don't just goddamn stand there as it hits your house! I mean wtf people, come on!
I was in #3. Video does nothing to capture the true horror.
#2 homie really wanted that tornado footage bro 12:10 😂😂😂
Dude, the guy in the 18 wheeler not stopping is so frustrating
Crap
To correct you on your stream it's 161 deaths not 158
Hey you semi driver, some of those people under the over passes were probably trying to get out of the hail core. Its nice that your wife warns you that your 30 mile instincts are off by approximately 24 to 26 miles off, is beyond me.. The idea that shes freaking out because your driving right into it, and you think that its " pretty fkn cool" shows your intellegence level. As to the cars in your lane flashing their headlights at you, trying to warn you that your driving into your death, also shows the same intellegence because you assume they're just driving in the wrong lane… You must have an IQ of at least a potato. Ignorance equals death when dealing with a tornado such as the one you drove into.. i hope you were at least lucky enough to walk away with your better half. She seemed to be the smarter one. for future endeavors, you should forget what you think you know and listen to her. I hope you two made it out alive.
I’m the fucking new guy I love this
Shit and I think it’s because my birthday is On April 27!!! Lets go!!!🎉 To my Windy bulls!!
Great quotes in tornado history, "Fuckin shit, look at all the roof shit bro!".
Omg these videos are terrifying
Wow that is scary stuff 4 real
It Wasn’t The Storm That Gave The Chief A Black Eye, Someone Knew It Was The Right Time 😆
Truck driver talking about other truckers that pulled over under overpass well before storm "fucking idiots". Same truck driver: Continues driving for MILES straight into the hook. Refuses to stop. Just barges onward. FOOL. Infuriating. "Theres no place to pull over!" ENTIRE HIGHWAY HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR MILES. SHOULDER IS CLEAR. Then, they encounter people DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD TO ESCAPE…..and they KEEP GOING FORWARD. Infuriating, incomprehensible stupidity
Amazing how stupid people are that just drive straight into tornado.They just can't stop driving for a few minutes.
Imagine being a survivor of an F5 and then suffering a long and deadly battle with a tissue destroying fungus. I never knew about this until your video and I've seen a ton of videos on Joplin.
I knew the semi truck driver was an idiot as soon as I noticed he was hogging the passing lane so he could drive .5mph faster
The El Reno tornado was rated EF-3
That next to last one was nuts. . . . Fritch- Texas Tornadoes 6-27-1992
Video 2. Guy films multi-vortex storm from in the distance obviously approaching through being brushed by a lighting strike on his house then knocked out by debris through the window. After coming to he films damage. Edited version having been featured on an older VHS compilation, it still holds up as one of the scariest to stay on a camera with 30 years later.. . ...

They don't come any drummer then Mr Kris Lancaster who stood their left his family unprotected and stayed the parh like , well , a dummy .
Can’t find a place to pullover except the forty I’m passing as I speak
The next to the last video did it for me. The sheer sound of it is terrifying , some people probably pass out before the tornado takes them. That is the absolute closest that you can get to it without getting destroyed.
The footage of the Covington County, MS tornado shown in this video is not of one of the EF-4 tornadoes from the April 12-13, 2020 tornado outbreak, but rather, an EF-1 that struck Collins scrap and metal yard in said county during the April 25-28, 2011 Super Outbreak. Still, the footage stands as a testament that even “weak” tornadoes mean business.
if you are driving and you see others truck parked on the side of the highway parked your damn truck
people need to stop being so damn stupid if you hear a tornado warning you need to go to a shelter
Man those people in Fairfield got balls nobody scared of tornadoes in it till they just keep feeling but I love it allow their balls we don't have good video
Wow, that first one was insane, the way it got pitch black! I couldn't believe he kept driving, there were a lot of cars pulled over and he just kept on driving right into it. He is a lucky man! And I have to comment about the doofus who waited to take cover until the tornado was right on top of him! That was sheer idiocy, he could have been taken from his family! And for what, a stupid video?! If that was my husband, I would have dragged him into the basement!
Meh, title is fraudulent
I have released a video on the unique parasitic infections caused by the Joplin EF5 tornado (the first of their kind in history) that I mentioned during the first clip: The Scariest Thing Tornadoes Can Do to You https://youtu.be/6yXM-R9gjAA. Give it a watch if you enjoy scary tornado-related topics overall!
I'm sorry but the trucker near El reno was an idiot. There were Plenty of places to stop. He almost waited too late.
Super interesting! I’ve been a lover of storms my whole life!
Part 4 of this series is out now: https://youtu.be/abqMe8Gj-rA
Why were you whispering? Leave out the commentary out next time.
Me being a weather geek,I too would probably do a Chris Lancaster filming a tornado until it's across the street from me
Get the hell out of the way, or get smashed.
