Top Comments of this video!! :3
My favorite take is the one at 4:58 where it begins with the drone taking off and moving towards the funnelcloud. It really gives a overwhelming sense of depth and size of the disaster unfolding, and how strangely beautiful it looks. I'm glad there were no deaths, which just shows how important preparedness and awareness is. Also a huge debt of gratitude to storm chasers who get the warning out quick.

Absolutely the most unusual footage I have ever seen. The transparency is insane. Surely this helps with research?
Anyway this is the perfect example of how a tornado can be "invisible" on the ground until enough debris is pulled up or the dark funnel goes low enough to the ground. It also shows how a tornado can seem to not be strong from the ground when it is.
I share this fact all of the time.

I'm an old geezer who has been interested in severe weather since the 1960's after watching a tornado as it ripped across the the town I live near. I've been an avid watcher of any and every film or video footage of tornadoes for decades, and while this entire video is extraordinary, I have to say that the first 30 seconds or so of this video have to be the most remarkable footage of a tornado ever recorded, absolutely amazing!

Being Australian, the only coverage we ever see of tornadoes is on the news and from the ground, and it is usually dark, ill defined and shot from a great distance away, but this footage is something else! WOW! Now I understand just how devastating these tornadoes are. Those houses instantaneously disintegrated the moment they were hit, and now I can see for the first time just how erratic and unpredictable they really are. Thank you for this Reed. It is a truly exceptional record of a natural phenomenon which until now I have never seen with such frightening clarity and detail.

Great footage, Reed! I’ve watched it a hundred times and it is still amazing. I lived in the apartments north of that row of exploding houses. I shot cell phone video prior to taking cover in the elementary school. We were a direct hit …but on the gym…which was the storm shelter. I’ll never forget the sound of it hitting the building. Unreal. I came out in time to see it destroy the YMCA. I remember videoing it…and realizing my RAV4 was gone. It was a scary thing to go through and at the same time an adrenaline rush. We were without power and I was beat down but did not sleep until the next day. Thanks for sharing the video with the world.

That is some of the most incredible tornado footage I've ever seen, especially the distant shots at about the 5:30 mark. I'm always amazed by the somewhat focused area of the most damaging part of the vortex, how one house can be completely obliterated while houses on either side only sustain relatively minor damage.

The corkscrew shape it takes at 0:32 is just insane. Outstanding footage

Seems like most of the damage initiates from the loss of the roofing on most of the buildings. Perhaps some new design is required that makes the roofing resistant to the "pull" of the vortices and would go some way to saving many buildings and their occupants.
