That was crazy. As someone who isn't from an area prone to tornadoes, my video is terrifying. I'm from Ohio. We're more likely to have a blizzard. It's terrifying to me.

I wonder if he was shell shocked...I kept thinking he was going to take cover, but he remained stationary and kept filming. Eerie video for sure...

It's horrifying. The man who recorded it believed it would miss him (though at some point it has to be obvious that it isn't going to). His wife was killed.

There is video somewhere of people riding out a tornado in a gas station that is horrifying. I think they go into the beer cooler or something. The shots of the building after are just insane, they show where they had to crawl out. I believe it was the Joplin tornado.

Is that the guy breathing in the second one you can hear? I really hope he didn't stay on the second story...
It did look like it was gonna miss, then came right for him

This video is from 2014 Tupelo Tornado filmed not far from my house. I watched the tornado pass a couple of blocks away.

That was him breathing, he didn't seek shelter. His wife was still in their kitchen when it hit (she was killed). The man was 85 years old at the time, he had gone upstairs to get flashlights because he knew he would lose power at his house. He didn't think that he had time to get downstairs anyway, and that their cellar was basically useless in a situation like this.

Fairdale, Illinois tornado (EF-4, April 9, 2015) - This one is a must see, most likely one of the scariest tornado videos in existence.
