  1. I actually survived this tornado it blew me off the sideof the road while I was chasing it with the storm chasers. At the movie theater in el reno is where it expanded like never before. I left the storm chasers including the team that parished. I was in my black e36 bmw m3, I know very stupid. I lived in yukon at the time. I have photos and videos that have never been shared. It was the 2nd tornado I've ever chased the 1st, taking out a rig and the Devon gas plant in calumet Oklahoma. I worked in the oilfields during all this. After this storm, I've never chased again.

  2. Daniel Shaw's footage shows the terrifying power of the El Reno tornado quite effectively. He was driving on I-40 eastbound when the tornado crossed in front of him, and he got dangerously close. He survived largely due to a truck which ran into his vehicle before tipping onto its side. This acted as a windbreak, shielding him from the inflow winds. Even behind the truck, he was seeing 130+mph winds.
    Search YT for Daniel Shaw El Reno if you want to see it. Just be aware, it is some INTENSE footage…

  3. So people who chase these storms died? If I was a resident nearby and I see this, I run the other way.. just like everyone else, surely it's not a great shock when you are dealing with nature, which doesn't follow the rules that stuff happens. The question is why are there hundreds of people causing a traffic jam that causes people to die. They don't live there, rubber-necking at the storm which actually makes it super dangerous for the people fleeing who do actually live there. Most people who storm-chase are doing it for their 'channel'.. get a real job and stop clogging the roads.

  4. You make the greatest tornado content ever. I love the visuals that help us see what tornados do and how it acts. Also, a huge appreciation for naming all the victims. Most people remember El Reno 2013 not just for its size, but for killing 4 stormchasers. I like that here the other victims are not forgotten.

  6. Sadly people don't know that all such events will one day be: common 10x worse and global. This is only a purposed foretaste to get peoples attention; those who willfully ignore the truth—that Jesus suffered/died for them, and their need to be "right with God" by faith alone, not good works [Rom 3v20/Gal 2v16]

    "For then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will" [Mat 24v21] Truth is a stubborn thing.

    Please: "Seek the Lord [Jesus Christ] while He may found. Call on Him while He is near" [Isaiah 55 v6] I'll help anyone who is genuinely seeking the truth.

  7. The TWISTEX team does have a footage of their chase. FINALLY! Someone points that out! I have been working on a project using Google Earth Pro to map out the El Reno Tornado and the storm chaser locations. Thank you for making this documentary!

  8. 16.38 … I'm scared of small places so I'm put my life at risk along with others to avoid that at all costs driving into a tornado… WTF I don't care if its trauma related, that's dumb. 0 Survival instincts, obviously cuz he dies.

  9. I still refuse to accept that this specific tornado is anything less than an EF5. The damn thing looks like an angry micro-hurricane. Had it went through a residential area or a part of town like the Tuscaloosa tornado did, then it would have been near apocalyptic.

  10. This tornado pretty much was unpredictable. It was a guessing game. And everything is happening so fast and quickly. Everything a normal tornado does was thrown out the window with this one. To see the Twistex Crew die tells you everything. If I ever hit the lottery and have 100 million to invest, it will be a movie about this tornado. This was probably a 1 in 10,000 years type of tornado. Every time I watch documentaries about this tornado it still scares me because I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be in that kind of situation. In Great video bro💪💥💪
