Good grief was that a thunderstorm in the first video causing all those trees to fall? Here is one Preston shared with me.. Really sad what happened but incredible view of the tornado.

people have forgotten the jarell texas tornado. When it was a rope tornado its motion is unrivaled. It blew up into a huge wedge. Remember hearing reports of foundations actually being lifted out of the ground.

Wow that’s incredible video there Steve. Wonder what type of storm caused all those trees to just collapse like that? It didn’t look all that windy from what I could tell, maybe super saturated soil?
So that was maybe 10 feet in diameter? Absolutely crazy. Reminds of a tornado video from Norway or somewhere where the funnel was maybe 5 feet wide right in front of the car.
Heres the video I was referencing. I believe the video Bozart shared was just one small vortex while this one may have been a suction vortice of a larger tornado but im not sure. The tornado hits the car at around the 1:30 mark.
To me, this video is interesting mainly for the fog that suddenly forms a few minutes ahead of the approaching tornado. It isn’t hail fog; there is no hail on the ground. I assume the pre-storm humidity was already very high, and even a subtle pressure drop was enough to coax the fog.
EDIT: Had to fix the URL so it queued from the beginning.
