Unreal dash cam video of the Apr. 26 Lincoln, NE EF3 tornado

Wow!

Fascinating.

Note how the one tree falls over TOWARDS the cyclone, then the rest of the world gets obliterated with winds going the opposite direction.

You could slow it down frame by frame, watch it 100 times, and probably notice something new every time.

I noticed the water cooler get sucked out of what I'm assuming was one of the trucks and into the tornado.

Only three injuries and no fatalities were reported for the tornado along its entire path, so it worked out in the end. But, yeah......that's wild to think about, and is proof of the seeming randomness of tornadoes.

I rather have a hurricane instead of a tornado. You have time to prepare for a hurricane but a tornado will appear when you least expect it. I've been through numerous hurricanes and one tornado. The tornado that I experienced was in Hillsdale, Michigan. I was at my grandmothers and when the sirens went off we had to rush to get to the basement. A tornado touched down on the next block and I have never seen beautiful houses that were there one minute and a pile of bricks the next. Thankfully no one was killed or injured.

Tornadoes are more like giant vacuums

The pressure differences are no joke, and not just in the tornado, but within and associated with the horizontal vortices feeding the meso. We still aren't really close to understanding how it all really works together.

You should check out Dr. Leigh Orf's work on YouTube. He's using a super computer to model pretty much every aspect of a tornadic thunderstorm.

Would make an excellent “IN” gif

Damn. That was a hell of a video. It just ate up that building.

Wow! That’s one lucky car!
