As a child, I saw up into a funnel cloud that developing. I went inside and told my parents, they of course didn't believe me, until after the fact that it went a few miles north and destroyed some homes. That must have been 50 years ago or more... I looked it up, 4/20/1973, I guess my memory isn't that bad.

6:16 is some of the most unique tornado footage ever filmed. That 20ish-seconds belongs on the all time top 20 minutes of tornado footage ever filmed. It might be the best video I've ever seen of being directly under a forming tornado. Congrats Freddy. This is truly historical footage.

For such a minor tornado, the footage was incredible.

My goodness Freddy, that view from underneath the funnel is fascinating. Great video!

I saw exactly that years ago when I lived in southeast Georgia. I was outside looking up at the cool swirl in the sky like a dumb kid while everyone was inside wondering what the dumb kid was looking at. Then the tornado warning happened and we spent the next 20 minutes crowded inside a tiny bathroom while the tornado moved on and never touched ground.

June of 1983, I was out bike riding one afternoon. The sky was very dark with storm clouds. I looked up and froze. There was a funnel cloud with an open bottom like an upturned cup and i could see partway inside it. It was so well formed it looked solid. I realized what it was, got kind of scared and went home and called my mom at work. She freaked out and said hide in the tub. Then a big hail storm started. An hour later, the funnel dropped into empty field east of us.

What an amazing shot, something that chasers have been trying to get for decades and this guy captures it in the corner of his screen while focusing on debris!

Great video! Always wanted to know how it would look to see a tornado very close in its first stage.
