Washington, IL Tornado EF4 200 yards away & locked out of the house 11/17/2013

Yes, I know...at first glance I look like an idiot for being outside. I just got home and didn't have the key to the front door on me and the power was cut, so I couldn't open the garage door. Everything was happening so fast that I wasn't thinking clearly and didn't know what to do. I thought to myself "if I'm going to die, I'm going to video tape this beast" because its the 21st century and thats what dumb humans do 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • This has everything for a tornado vid. It's up close, it's violent, and most important no screaming and talking over the storm. Great video!

    Dang! A tornado going by, and you're locked out of the house?! That sucks.
  • For anyone saying this guys stupid, I think it’s worse that you don’t know how to read a description

    High end EF-4. The debris ball and tornadic wind field are easy to see in this short video. Glad you stayed safe.
  • @Kimock7Autism
    best part about this is the audio - terrifying sound of a tornado in your face
  • @Jc.Shiesty
    Already 4 years. Wow. Remember it like it was yesterday.
  • @letsgetit934
    My parents home was destroyed that day, the basement saved our lives! I'll never forget that day!
  • @flatulenceone
    It sounds like a lot of us are thankful for your clip, due to its closeness, the sound, and -- as mentioned below -- no whining or cringing -- just the same sounds that anyone else there could have heard.

    No one: This guy: Stands outside in his front yard while a tornado passes by
  • I’d be shitting my pants if I witnessed that storm. I am already scared of gusty winds

  • @FIRESTARZPAWZ
    The craziest thing about thia video is the leafs flying by, because thoes are pretty much never seen in tornado videos.
  • I remember that storm. I lived in bloomington at the time. Just the storm alone tore some shingles off the roof. Crazy November day
  • @PomLamb
    At least you were safe in the end. What a time to not have keys though. Good footage.

    Hey I'm currently working on a video on the November 17. 2013 Tornado Outbreak and was wondering if I could use this video in the documentary with proper attribution given?
  • @jonn443
    Holy shit were you waaaay too close to be outside with that monster only 200 yards away.
