Tornado just ahead ( Sweden, Europe )

[David Draun]

Cool tornado, but look at the parent storm. This is obviously a supercell tornado. Definitely a rain-free base where the tornado drops from. Not only a tornado that far north, but a parent supercell as well. You can see a wall cloud and an RFD cut also.

... same one?

Look at the two people on motorcycles behind the guy filming. I think I would be trying to find somewhere to go real quick.

LOL I seriously thought it was fake upon first glance. I say that because it looks so in your face, like someone HAD to have put that there because that just doesn't happen in real life...... That is pretty incredible.

I'm guessing that's a video of one of those "small vortices" (I'm sure there's a better term) that we can usually see milling about a multi-vortex tornado?

 

[Joel Wright]

Wow. If you look closely at the little tree right before it gets ripped apart, it appears there isn't a twig moving. Anyone else notice that? It looked as if it were standing there on a calm day. Amazing.

Reminds me of my first tornado intercept... except that tornado was behind the car a hundred feet or so... and it was much bigger D:.

 

[Bill Hark]

Wow, awesome video!!! Size doesn't always matter. The vortex is not very large but is intense.

This video should be titled "I needed a change of underwear".

That's as close as you could get without getting air-born!

 

[Adam Lucio]

Wow, I really like how it just stripped that tree away. Such power for such a small tornado. Reminds me of the Eli tornado video clip of a thin drill bit tossing a house. I always show that video to people when I explain to them size doesnt dictate strength.

Incredible. I wish I knew more details about the event.

I sent the video link to one of my professors who's currently in Finland, asking if any of his Swedish-speaking colleagues could interpret the commentary. They confirmed that the language spoken in the video is Swedish.

The driver didn't say much. Just conversational stuff, "Look at the tornado", "look at the trees," etc. No indication of what they were doing.

At least this settles the Sweden / Wales question. I still wonder if the person who shot the video was even aware of the danger he - and his kid! - were in.
