Columbus – The Best Tornado Footage Ever Shot



On June 23, 1998 a monster tornado would tear through mainly rural Nebraska countryside. While the beast traversed open fields, three separate residents in different locations would record some of the best tornado footage ever shot.

  1. That something don’t want to hear, ‘it’s on ground, should we call some one’? ‘Call who?’

    It’s terrifying see this natural disaster take place, potential os risking human life and you don’t know who to call in order to warn people of the incoming danger. That’s what’s terrifying, the feeling of being powerless.

  2. The motion in this tornado is definitely top 5 for how vividly the high speed winds are on display. Only specimens I can think of that leave the same kind of impact would be the 1999 Bridge Creek tornado during its widest phase, and the Greenfield tornado as it starts to narrow towards the end of its life and begins rotating probably faster than any other footage I've seen.

  3. Photogrammetry is still a thing that could be done to gauge this tornado's true strength. Fitting that it's a tornado from the 90s, when the technique's popularity peaked. I'd say the best instant to focus on when performing the study would be when the tornado is at its widest, before Andy's footage, as it seems clear this was when it was rotating the quickest. Andy's footage encompasses basically its slow (and then abrupt) decline.

  4. We had an F1 pass about 2 miles south of me this past summer. I thought THAT one looked big. We stood in the driveway (we were having a garage party and the sirens didnt go off yet), and watched it. The left side wasn't moving, so we decided to go downstairs. I will admit, we were lucky, but it was insane watching everything getting sucked towards it.
