More great tornado video.

Is it too much to ask for a videographer - with a tornado THAT close - to actually point the camera UP? :))

I agree. That was extremely brave - and stupid. More and more are going to think it's safe to be in the vortex with videos like this.
 
This is an insane video! I can't imagine what that man could have felt with a monster like that ahead.
I find so strange that a human being does something like I have just seen: I only see 3 possibilities:
1-the videographer doesn't know what to do and he stays stopped in the car.
2-the videographer is completely crazy and he risks his life to record an insane video.
3-the videographer didn't know that was a strong tornado

One of the comments may be very true with a circumstance like this... those in that part of the world aren't NEARLY as educated about tornadoes as we are, and thus he/she was probably not fully aware of the extreme dangers that could be had. We know a bit more about tornadoes and what they can do; they not so much!
 
It's a cool video but there's a million just like it these days. It only matters which one is the newest.
 
That was pretty sweet! It was cool how the condensation emerges from behind that tree line, and quickly the trees lean in the other direction. The guy with the camera is a hell of a lot braver than I would have been.
 
That was pretty insane...might have been one of those moments of being too scared to move vs having no clue of what was happening. Yep, I agree with Jeff...got to point the camera up. THAT would have made some awesome vid ;) :D
 
After watching it several more times, this video might be my favorite. If you watch it on full screen it's a lot more impressive. Seeing the condensation that close is remarkable. It would appear that he was right on the edge of the condensation funnel. Maybe barely into it. You can actually see a suction vorticy wrap away from the cameraman and then rotate back behind the main vortex (or group of vorticies). Fascinating to say the least. More like mesmerizing really.

The video's a little shaky, but hell, it's pretty damn stable compared to how I probably would have been lol.
 
I am in awe of these breath taking videos. Are these all from the same tornado, or are these different storms?

The intensity of these had me feeling like I was watching a Kansas or TX Panhandle storm in each one.

From the absolutely astounding shots of being in the middle of the debris clouds to the shooting of the entire meso from earth to sky with the twister seeming to approach 1/2 mile wide below, it was amazing to see.

So hard to believe it's an European country with these. The multi-vortex nature of some of these videos was also amazing to see so up close and personal.

Wow!
