I shot this outside of Edgington, IL on Monday:

skip to 30 seconds to see the fun stuff
I took it with my S5 so the zoom and stuff isn't the best, especially when the touch screen stops responding because you're drenched from tornado-driven rain
These are not realistic tornado videos at all. The movie Twister accurately depicts tornadoes as sentient, vicious killers whose appetite will only be sated when you sacrifice a car to it.

god I fucking loved that movie
I just dont understand why people willingly live in tornado alley.
Its the scariest shit ever
I've never really heard of tonados anywhere besides america, does europe get them?
I imagine the first settlers coming over and seeing tornados and being like "what the fuck"
They must happen elsewhere too, but I think the climate is perfect for them in the States and Canada. We get small ones fairly commonly in Manitoba (which some people refer to as Canada's tornado alley), and we had a huge F5 a few years back.
The climate is just perfect though in the mid-west / south States.

It's what you get for wiping out all the natives.
Shame they dont happen more often in africa and middle east. Would be much easier to wipe more of those fuckers out they reproduce like fuck and make immigration raise alot in rest of europe.

In my 25 years living here, we've had one tornado that didn't even fully form.
The cone was starting to rotate in on itself and coming down but then hit the coastline and never touched the ground.
I've lived in the Midwest(Southeast Missouri near the Illinois Border, which is what people call the outskirts of Tornado Alley) my entire life and I haven't seen a [I]single[/I] tornado although I have seen the aftermath of two and saw a wall cloud try to form one, but failed.
Also this is not really a "tornado video", it's a news reel about the aftermath of the F5 tornado that struck Topeka in 1966.

I couldn't find a version without the watermark, but I first saw this on a highlight reel of tornado videos that I used to own on VCR in the late 90s - early 2000s at the least.
This is a photo of the tornado:

You should watch Into The Storm
it's Twister but even more ridiculous
I've only experienced one tornado, and it touched down for about 4 seconds in a large field at the end of my road. It didn't damage any of the homes in my neighborhood, but holy shit that caused a lot of damage up and down the main road. All of the power lines were torn up, and I don't even know how many trees it uprooted in that short amount of time. Shit was fuckin' scary, since we had no idea whether or not it was going to make its way into our neighborhood.
I love in Maine, and we had a tornado or two a few years back, though I'm sure they were child's play compared to the big ones out in the Midwest. One went through a big tract of forest and across a river which I wound up kayaking down after the fact. Seeing this huge, clearly defined swath of emptiness and debris where there was once a forest was awe-inspiring. I can't imagine actually living through one.
I love silent lightning, because I absolutely love the light show but I'm actually very afraid of thunder claps.
It sucks most of the time because living in a sort of tropical country we get storms a lot. Loud, storms.

Sometimes we get [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landspout]Landspouts[/url], but no tornadoes really.

UK has had some tornadoes, they don't do much against our buildings because they aren't built from fucking wood.
