I guess that whitish substance coming out of the building (flour?) is why we can see them so clearly. Interesting stuff.
That whitish substance could very well just be rain water or dust/dirt getting pulled into the tornado by the strong inflow winds

There's debate on what that is, and I'm not sold either way. Some very smart people have theorized that it wasn't anything IN the building, but rather dense condensation due to a rapid pressure drop either caused by the roof coming off or injestion of debris. The dew point was pretty high there, and similar has happened in other tornadoes. I want to see what that building was before I believe fully that it wasn't something in the building.
But, yes....whatever did happen with that building damage bumped up the contrast for this tornado/mesovortices.

Why does it look like a video game? Too many Instagram type filters or something?
Not the tornado but everything else, the buildings, the turbines, the hills and grass. All look fake as shite.

Kinda begs the question do all tornados have smaller ones in or around them? I searched and didn’t see anything.
Not necessarily, but in these large, strong/violent tornadoes it’s pretty common. They’re referred to as multiple vortex tornadoes. There are multiple vortices that rotate around the parent center circulation of the tornado. It’s still one tornado, but with multiple areas of spin within it.

No need for over the top music with the Andover video. The footage is dramatic enough already.

It’s fake, btw.

Is this AI generated? If not that is one hell of a camera and how far was the drone? It took the perfect video and in those conditions I would think there would be some movement.

That's what I thought. I think many are watching on a phone but I'm watching this on a 44 inch PC/TV monitor and I'm telling you not all of this is real, no way. Looks like a very well done video game. Surely there is a computer whiz here that can figure it out......

Here's footage from the ground of the same tornado.

If Reed Timmer and crew can produce a fake tornado video that looks better than anything Hollywood has produced with a budget of tens of millions of dollars in the span of five or six hours he and the crew are in the wrong line of work entirely.

I watched it yesterday. They already had uploaded it to YouTube by the evening. It was fascinating

Reed may be crazy at times, but he is a legitimate meteorologist who has been doing this for a long time now. I do not believe he would fake any of that footage, plus his drone footage matches up with what we see in his footage from the ground.

Yeah, I believe they’re called satellite vortex tornadoes.

I was in Tuscaloosa for the April 27th tornado. Had a house on 13th street that was old as hell and only had a crawl space, so ran up to the fraternity house before it hit. We stood on the porch and could see it as it passed down 15th street. Besides seeing the blue flashes of the transformers blowing, you could definitely make out little vortexes coming off of the main funnel. It was pretty wild and unsettling.
