Controversial Shapeshifter Tornado is Most Unique in History Yuma



The Yuma Tornado is historic, but it wasn’t at first. Here’s the whole story, from close up on the ground to days after the assessment. Reed’s footage shows the amazing behavior of the tornado, and some clues after the fact help to fill out the investigation. What do you think happened at Yuma on August 8, 2023?

Thank you to the amazing Monk Family for taking the time to talk to us, and for being awesome people!

  1. Ah. This made me emotional. I thank God for you, Reed, and thank God the parents were watching this stream & able to warn their kids. It’s very important what storm chasers do. Anyone brand new or looking to get into storm chasing needs to understand the importance of storm chasing. Thank you, Reed! God bless you & the family you helped with your stream! Never stop chasing.

  3. They failed to factor in one other common denominator with both storms. REED. It seems like both storms were chasing Reed instead of Reed chasing the storm. The paths really really support that. It's like it all of a sudden noticed Reed and started chasing him even though the super cell was pulling it in another direction.

  4. I was driving East on I-90 around Draper, South Dakota. I noticed cars stopped along the highway and everyone looking south. They were looking at this huge tornado that was going along approximately a mile or so away from us. Just watching the incredible power of Mother Nature was soooo cool. It lasted about 20 minutes and the sun came back out. Poof, it was all over. First time this New Yorker has ever seen a tornado 🌪️ and hopefully the last time🤞🏻

  5. With how climate change is going, I'm not so sure this is going to be the last time we see something like this. I have this nagging feeling that this will become much more frequent.

  7. I am from the Pacific Northwest region where tornadoes are extremely rare which makes it an ideal location for those who have been spooked from them &/or scared shitless to a point of relocation here where its safer for them. I hear a lot of stories & have relatives still living & scattered around the midwest. Stories of tornadoes jumping in every direction are legendary & are even told about here, from survivors, or their relatives of survivors tell you can not predict a path a tornado takes because it will do its own thing like its alive. But its very clear why we see so few here as compared to the midwest & that is simply the fact it must hit the ground in order to form. Its very difficult to reach the ground here considering trees grow like weeds here & grow as high as 100’-200’ or a 25 floor office tower. Its a simple explanation & how many cities with tall buildings has ever been struck by a tornado? I believe the answer is zero? And TREES are not native to the midwest especially the 200’ Douglas Firs in the PNW or the 300’ Redwoods of Northern California. At best they chop off tree tops & yes you have no idea how lucky you are until you have survived the top branch from a Douglas Fir breaking off in a high wind & crashing down piercing your roof, the upper floor bedrooms & finally coming to a stop by piercing the pillows on your living room sofa through the sofa pinned to the floor. A spot you were just sitting at 10 minutes before. It happens here all the time & its only been recently scientists have even acknowledged tornadoes although rare actually do occur here. You will never see them as they swish through the forest like they swish through a corn field. Just a bigger crop out here that takes a century or more to mature as another unpredictable storm slices off tree tops sending them down to the city that lurks below.
    Scientists didn’t even confirm they existed until photographic evidence proved so in the late 1880s. Imagine that? It took scientific technology to prove scientists wrong? And tornadoes occur EVERYWHERE …even in Alaska.
