Here is the drone footage of the tornado heading in to Westmoreland, Kansas last night just before the SD card burned out. After this shot, the drone closed to within 50 m of the core flow before landing in the path @EdgarONealWX
THANK YOU to firefighter Adam Bonowitz for recovering the drone
The exact moment when this radar scan indicated when the Harlan, IA tornado was capable of having EF5 level wind speeds. At this point, the tornado was clearly rotating at its most rapid pace and the sub vortexes spinning inside were unlike anything I had ever seen before. I never thought I would say this, but whether or not it caused EF5 damage, this is the first time I have ever seen a tornado capable (to my knowledge) of being an EF5.
WATCH as a semi gets swept and thrown off the road between Seward and David City, Nebraska as a tornado – briefly invisible – crosses the road.
Condensation funnel or not, PLEASE seek shelter during warnings.
On a day like today, it may very well save your life. @MyRadarWX
Giant wedge tornado yesterday near Manilla, IA after the Harlan tornado (also a wedge) occluded. This was wedge #3 from this supercell. Timestamp 6:35pm #iawx@NWSDesMoines
A terrifying sight to see.
Watch as this multi-vortex tornado crosses the highway in Harlan, IA! A tornado watch remains in effect until late this evening. #iawx
I’m still trying to comprehend how this was real.
Multiple vortices dancing around each other, creating by far the largest #tornado I’ve ever witnessed. So many things I had only seen in other people’s videos or read about in research papers, I was finally able to witness with my own eyes.
And despite the property damage, no one was severely injured by this behemoth. Unbelievable.
First video/pic taken by the Dollar General in Harlan, IA. Second video/pic taken a few miles north on Highway 59.

Footage filmed by a Russian construction worker on Sakhalin island shows the last moments before a bear killed three men and left two in critical condition.
Trump seems to be counting on the three justices he “chose” for appointment to the Supreme Court to get him out of trouble. But did Trump really choose them? Or was Trump the chump, in someone else’s game? Let’s have a look.
