  7. This was incredible to watch. That lightening was no joke, although it's frightening, it's beautiful at the same time. You have to give props to the storm chasers. They are pros at what they do. Thanks for this video. I could not take my eyes off the screen. ⛈🌩 Recky, I'm pretty sure you are right with your description of the "rain wrapped" tornado.

  9. Half way and still here! This is truly the best lightning show I’ve seen. I would give anything to see that in person (except stand next to a tornado). I think maybe they were talking about the rain stopping just so they could have a good view for us. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  12. I love thunder storms. Especially at night… makes me fall into a deep sleep. Tornadoes on the other hand, I can do without. But rain-wrapped simply means it’s surrounded by the rain.

  15. Recky, if you look up De Witt Arkansas on a map app, I’m using my Apple map app, follow the main highway South. They called 145 but I believe it is Highway 165, at the intersection of Highway 276, going West you can see the farm that was hit. On Apple Maps the outline of the damaged barn and grain bins (not silos) Technology is cool, for that tornado to have been less than a year ago and you can look at aerial view of damage is amazing

  18. up north, when we do our counting, i always learned to say "1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, etc" to show about how many miles away it is, cause it takes about 1 second to say the states name and 1 each second would be about a mile

  26. Hey Recky, I am still here.. watching the rest of the video 🙂 Spectacular lightning show! Recky, you should react to Youtube video called "Footage of Lake Erie blizzard! Massive winter storm – Ontario and New York" That was the snow storm blizzard Buffalo New York got that happened on Christmas Day December 25th, 2022!

  27. Tuned in late, again… Still here Recky, 12:35 a.m.

    Rain wrapped means rain is falling between you and the tornado hard enough to block the view, can't see the tornado… Dangerous at times…

    The sky is certainly talking!!! I've seen tornados at night, several times…a couple were monsters, a bit unnerving…lol

    Great video, thank you Recky!!!

  29. A few storm chasing terms:

    Cycling—means when a tornado weakens then strengthens back up.

    Couplet—radar velocity signature where green (means winds blowing towards the radar) and red (means wind blowing away from the radar) touch one another, indicating rotation.

    CG—cloud to ground lightning strike

    Rain wrapped—means that precipitation, rain and/or hail, is being wrapped around the tornado, obscuring it from being visible and is very dangerous to approach, even more so at night.

    Multi-vortex—smaller vortices rotating underneath the parent tornado. This occurs in strong to violent tornadoes (EF2+)

    Wall cloud—rotating updraft of a supercell thunderstorm and is where tornadoes are formed.

    Base—lowest part of the cloud

    Mesocyclone—rotating updraft of a thunderstorm

    Scud—clouds of moisture that are in front of the storm, mainly around the shelf cloud and the updraft.

    Shelf cloud—leading edge of a thunderstorm. Straight line winds always accompany shelf clouds and if strong enough, can do damage comparable to a weak tornado.

  31. Here’s a little something else to go by in terms of tornado intensity, the EF or Enhanced Fujita scale, which measures the intensity of the tornado from damage left behind.

    EFU—Unknown, no surveyable damage
    EF0–65 to 85 mph winds: light damage
    EF1–86 to 110 mph winds: moderate damage
    EF2–111 to 135 mph winds: considerable damage
    EF3–136 to 165 mph winds: severe damage
    EF4–166 to 200 mph winds: devastating damage
    EF5–200+ mph winds: incredible damage

  34. Rain wrapped means that your line-of-sight to the tornado is obscured by a wall of extremally heavy rainfall (think in terms of liters per minute per 10 cm square). Tornados often push a wall of heavy rainfall directly in front of their track, making it impossible to see it before it before you get hit by it. Most tornadoes roughly track SW to NE, so it's often difficult to see the tornado if you are on the NE side of it. The safest way to chase a tornado is usually to approach it from the SW quarter as there is usually a break in the rain wrap. Completely rain wrapped means that the tornado would be completely obscured by a curtain heavy rain. The danger there is that it's very difficult if not impossible to visually detect any changes to it's ground track and you wouldn't know if it's now heading towards you until it was too late. Also, very generally speaking, the bigger/more powerful the tornado, the more rain wrapped it will be.

  35. You might want to check out another severe weather thing that happens here in the US called a derecho. There is some great video on YouTube about the August 2020 Midwest Derecho. During it there were times I wondered if the old house I was renting was going to get knocked over.

  37. as best i can figure, they were located at : 34.249977° -91.342606°

    2:52 not many things are as spectacular as a Great Plains Thunder-bumper.

    another sign that a tornado is probable is when it's warm & humid and then suddenly cool/cold & dry.

    5:58 if you feel your hair stand up, quickly squat down (only feet on the ground) and get small.
    8:04 lightning never strikes a thing twice because the first time vaporizes whatever it hits. 😆
    8:39 you stay indoors until a funnel is spotted. then run for the 'Fraidy Hole.
    10:01 YouTube controls : < & > change playback speed // , & . back & forward by ONE FRAME
    13:23 USFS Park Ranger Roy Sullivan was hit by lightning 7 times… and survived them all.
    TRIVIA : it is NOT the rubber of car tires that protects from lightning. it's "The Faraday Effect".
    15:57 epilepsy EP-ih-Lep-see
    19:26 one of the most dangerous aspects of tornadoes are their unpredictability.
    20:23 if you like lightning, check out videos about Catatumbo lightning at Lake Maracaibo
    20:23 you can find a nice 5 minute BBC video here at YouTube .com/watch?v=UkfYllSZMxs
    21:32 rain doesn't stop a tornado. i can't think of much that could have a chance.
    23:14 you know i am. you need to ask? 😊
    24:33 see my comment for timestamp 10:01
    28:04 Gillett, Arkansas location 34.117745° -91.377071°
    24:43 1/4 mile is in the neighborhood of 400 meters
    34:56 i was unable to locate Hwy 145, but 165 does pass close by.
    38:11 it appears that they turned off the main road here : 34.238469° -91.343773°
    42:13 you said, "member"… HehheHHEHEhehheHEHehHehHHehhhehehehehe
    44:08 i am pretty certain this location is a rice mill.

  43. Hi Recky. I have another request please. It's called the 2020 Iowa Derecho as it happened-New Edit (tick change) the channel is called TheNStew. I never heard of a derecho until I saw this video. This was intense.

  47. If you ever want to experience some more interesting weather first hand, get a plane ticket to Des Moines, Iowa and you can stay at my place. Last spring we had a long track EF4 that was on the ground for 113.5 km along with many other EF2's and EF3's on the same day. If you've got the time, we'll find you something fun! 😜
