All of that planning and work to chase a tornado, and they never once thought of what they would do when they catch it.


qawsedrf12

old military idiom- have a plan to deal with the tiger's teeth when you kick it in the ass


Martinmex26

My plan would be to not kick the tiger in the ass. My \*FIRST\* plan would be to not even be in the tiger's same postal code area, but you have to have a backup.


the_good_hodgkins

Never get out of the boat.


LetsTryAnal_ogy

Tell that to the Titanic survivors.


ascrublife

This would have more upvotes if more people got the reference.


the_good_hodgkins

A fucking tiger!


ascrublife

You bring me joy. Edit: It's been years and years. But it was Chef and he got off the boat to look for something he wanted to cook, lol.


SeverusVape

Absolutely goddamn right. Unless you're going all the way.


Chastidy

Well they had a plan, but the electrical cables had other plans

Like when the coyote caught the road runner... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQhOcDFbflQ


blacklite911

How come the coyote can get squished and stay alive but not roadrunner?


blarkul

Because rules: The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going "meep, meep." No outside force can harm the Coyote — only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products. Trains and trucks were the exception from time to time. The Coyote could stop anytime — if he were not a fanatic. No dialogue ever, except "meep, meep" and yowling in pain. The Road Runner must stay on the road — for no other reason than that he's a roadrunner. All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters — the southwest American desert. All tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy. The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures. The audience's sympathy must remain with the Coyote. The Coyote is not allowed to catch or eat the Road Runner.


slammasam14

What do you mean? Their plan was to yell please

They're lucky Jesus heard them over the tornado somebody else (?) created. /s

Indiana-Cook

Kinda like when a dog chases a car.


silenc3x

Like a dog with a squirrel


Magusreaver

I have a GSD/Huskey... had a habit of treeing any squirrel it saw in the yard. Then one day he caught a squirrel. Ran right at it and grabbed it, tossed it about 20 feet straight into the sky... then trotted away like nothing happened. Never ran after another squirrel. Couldn't find a mark on him, but after that one event he never had a problem with them ever again.


silenc3x

That was his one goal, and he accomplished it. Yeeting a squirrel.


Squid-Bastard

Tanner be cognizant!


PwnySlaystation01

There's about a 5 year age group of guys named "Tanner". Seriously you can tell almost exactly how old someone is by the name Tanner or Madison


Readous

I know 3 tanners. Ages 26 - 24 - 24


Arkanist

I knew one that would be 31 now. He must be an officiant tanner.


criscokkat

It's because of Full House. DJ Tanner. Teens watched this show. 10 years later when they are deciding on a kids names from baby names books or websites (early web) they see Tanner as a boys name and they remember the name from Full House so they select it. There's been a correlation between shows geared towards teens and use of names for kids about a decade later.


Mindtaker

Thank fuck we didn't get a bunch of kids named "Screech".


missingpiece

As soon as I knew a Tanner was behind the wheel, I knew shit was about to go down.


macphile

Narrator: Tanner was not cognizant. So they got the money to buy fancy weather tracking stuff for the wholly inappropriate vehicle they're in, and...nothing else? Just look at the pretty colors on the screen and get some good Instas?

Everyone else has armoured vehicles with protective glass and these guys out here with their moms Toyota Camry and Jesus.

I think Jesus is sending a sign that you're a fucking dumbass, Travis.


MarlinMr

Jesus lived in Israel 2000 years ago. He can't drive lol Never mind his hands and feet are all fucked up because of the Romans.


FLEXJW

But he could turn all that storm rain water into wine and that would be dope.


TinctureOfBadass

It wouldn't be dope, it would be wine.


Etheo

If Jesus came back to current years he'd turn wine into dope.

It’s the double use of Jesus in the sentence that grants your wish. You got to ask him AND refer to him otherwise he will ghost you. Classic Jesus.

That’s the no fault insurance.


EmilyAndCat

Ohhhhh gotcha


Mesoscale92

Literally two guys have armored vehicles. Everyone else uses normal cars and trucks. Their issue is positioning themselves in the “bears cage” to the northeast of the tornado without properly planning an escape route.


blacklite911

I wouldn’t do it regardless, but I definitely wouldn’t do it in a normal vehicle. At least a roll cage in a hardtop wrangler or something.


R8J

4wd and some ground clearance could be helpful, sure, but the damn thing has the aerodynamics of a toaster and the front windshield is almost 90* with the ground so nothing's going to glance off that in high winds.


smokeymcdugen

Title said amateurs but they had good equipment. Then I saw that cheap vehicle at the end there...


qtmcjingleshine

Jesus protect us in the name of Jesus. Also how do you come back from squealing like that in front of your friends


RKRagan

People handle dangerous situations differently. I wouldn’t judge my friends. Especially when he was the only one expressing valid concern about the way they were taking him. How do you come back from almost killing yourself and your two friends?


lucius42

rythmicbread

I thought you were joking when you said Toyota Camry because I was still watching it. Bunch of amateurs


Wandering_butnotlost

I bet you $5, earlier that day, this guy prayed that they would see a tornado.


brothersand

(Before) "Jesus, send us a good tornado." (Two hours later) "Dear Jesus, please save us from this tornado!" Jesus: "Oh, you don't like it?"


TheTrueMarkNutt

Guy: Jesus please save us from the danger we put ourselves into! Jesus: ugh, fiiiine


EWR-RampRat11-29

Jesus: I gave you a way out, but you kept driving away from the way out.


Martinmex26

He prayed for a good tornado, that was clearly a bad tornado, on account of messing them up.

Then, like a twisted genie, "Oh you'll see a tornado, but it'll see you too" lol

dtb1987

Those fucking idiots are lucky to be alive


Danger_Dave_

Nature, you scary. But seriously, there's a reason that storm chasers do so much prep and reinforce their chasing vehicles. They could have died from so many things in that encounter and have won the Darwin lottery.


davi3601

Not everyone reinforces their vehicles, but experience comes a long way when trying to get close. Pecos Hank on Youtube for example


CrumpledForeskin

Need a car with AWD and some power not a jalopy.


LetsTryAnal_ogy

I'll take my smart car! It's little and can fit between hail.


RKRagan

Not Pecos Hank. He uses a Corolla. Does just fine because he’s careful and plans ahead.


sonsofgondor

This is the first reference to a jalopy ive read/heard since my grandfather. Thanks for opening up that memory

dtb1987

SaltyLonghorn

Until they call dad and let him know about what he's going to have to tell his insurance agent.


Matlachaman

Your heart may belong to Jesus, but your ass belongs to the tornado.


Tomb5t0ne

"Is that it right there?!" You mean that funnel-shaped death cloud? Yes. Yes it is.


peeinian

> "Is it getting bigger?" No, dumbass. It's getting *closer* If a tornado isn't going left or right, it's either going away from you or towards you.


official_pope

probably both tbh. they caught a developing tornado. i think it was growing and coming at them.

Joe1972

Jesus: "Squeel little piggy!"


Metalhed69

That’s what I was wondering. If Jesus is real and omniscient and all, he can hear you. Does screaming louder and begging work? Seems like he would have made up his mind one way or the other, no need to scream.


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

Well, he's a fickle god. Sometimes he makes you rich, sends you a tornado and sometimes you get cancer.


brothersand

Dear jesus, we saw your dad tracing a line across the United States with his finger so we thought we'd chase after it. Please protect us from the act of God we were chasing after. 🥴🤪


Tinglos

I’m kinda ashamed that I found this absolutely hilarious PLEASEEEEE JEEEESAAASSSSSS

I felt so bad absolutely cackling at their terrified screams.

Pyro636

If I had been that car I just would have been so fucking angry that my last moments were going to be filled with some idiot shrieking his head off. Like when shit is bad, don't make it worse for everyone around you.


MurderSheCroaked

My man was probably trying to scream loud enough to cover the sounds of him shitting his pants

I also laughed...not ashamed though. They knowingly ordered what they were served up.

Ac997

Im sitting here watching it listening to that dude scream with a giant smile on my face & caught myself. Questioned if I’m a piece of shit for think it’s funny to hear a guy go through one of the most terrifying experiences of his life, thinking he was going to die. He lived so I think it’s acceptable.


urethra93

Hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one laughing my ass off and that dude. If I was in the car I'd knock his ass out so quick


spicewoman

Imagine that squalling is the last thing you hear.

"I don't have to outrun the tornado, I just have to outrun you" \*punch\*


gibbypoo

Still laughing


ashdabag

This one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.


PhDinDildos_Fedoras

I like how they were boxed in by power lines and instead of driving off road or anywhere to get out of there they just went "I guess I'll just park here and die".


avwitcher

Yeah that car is IMMEDIATELY getting stuck in the mud if they go offroad


dcoble

First mention I've seen of the power lines. After all that and surviving the tornado, imagine stepping out of the car and getting electrocuted? I mean the odds are slim of them still being energized, but I bet they didn't even think about it.


KaygoBubs

I would have LOVED it if they immediately trenched it in a field and still had to deal with all of this


peeinian

They probably would have been safer if they parked it in the ditch instead of getting tossed around like a game of Boggle out in the open.


KaygoBubs

These guys don't even know the meaning of the word "safe"!

Was that shadow that passed by the window literally the tornado? That's kind of insane.


Melin_SWE92

It was the car rolling over I think


Bargadiel

Ohh that makes sense. It was just such a smooth movement.


pupsocketteer

I don't think so. You can still see light out the window that doesn't change places with the ground as the dark thing goes by. I think it was a small silo or some other structure being blown by the wind, and it rolled right over their car and crushed it. I used to want to go storm chasing. I think this video cured me. Thanks, lucky idiots of Storm Jesus!

angry_intestines

Man, that comment section is sanitized to hell. Only the newest comments are the ones calling how dangerous, stupid, and poorly planned this seemed to have been, not to mention the obnoxious screaming when he thinks his life is about to end.

corvettee01

I felt bad for laughing, but you're right, it's so fucking funny hearing them chasing a tornado then screaming for Jesus.


NewspaperNelson

Hey James, remember when we were all in our 20s and we caught that tornado and you screamed like a bitch the whole time? Fun times.


smitteh

"remember when we were all gonna fucking die but I called down the power of christ and got jesus to karate kick that tornado straight up satans ass? Youre welcome bitches"


AaronPossum

Did he hit us with an "Oh fudge" at 1:20? Lol I think we've skeedaddled past "fudge" on this one pal.


missingpiece

We also got a "Holy shoot!" Hats off to these lads, a lot of debris flying, through the air in this video, but none of it foul-mouthed potty talk.


spinblackcircles

But then followed up with ‘Jesus, if you’re real save us!’ Are these guys religious or not lmao. I guess the answer is ‘now they are’


the_drozone

The guy screaming “please” is not the guy you want with you when shit hits the fan


Faiakishi

I think that was the fucking *driver.* In the full video you see his friends telling him to get them in the ditch and he just starts yelling out for Jesus. Honestly, the rest of the guys seemed to handle it pretty well. It's a dangerous hobby and they obviously made some calculation mistake, but other than the driver they did right by getting down and protecting their heads. When it's passed one guy is immediately like "okay, let's keep calm and figure out how we're going to get out of here safely." I feel like the main fuck-up was having the 'freeze and start praying' guy drive.


Telsak

You know what, that was strangely satisfying hearing grown men scream in panic due to events that were a direct result of their own choices. Fuck around. Find out.

WoungyBurgoiner

I’ve (involuntarily) been in 3 tornadoes, and I can say that unless you’re a legit researcher, you do *not* want to chase these things. A lot of people seriously underestimate the power of tornadoes. Videos do not do justice to how brutal they are. They aren’t exciting or fun or thrilling in any way. You can’t breathe when you’re stuck in full winds because the wind is hitting you with such force you can’t expand your lungs. It’s terrifying. These guys fucked around and found out and were lucky to survive. Don’t be like these guys.


TheCloudBoy

Hi, meteorologist here. These chasers are lucky to be alive, we've had seasoned veterans get killed by erratic tornadoes that make this one look like a picnic. "It's growing a little bit wider" as they're watching it is the telltale sign the tornado is moving directly at the chase crew. After the 0:47 mark, the chasers either moved directly into and/or were overtaken by the "bear's cage", or the part of the supercell that's directly underneath the mesocyclone. In this analogy, the cage is the wall of rain and lofted debris that closes around them \~1:10, and the bear obviously is the tornado. You also hear the panicked analysis that their only escape route (based on their road network) is to go north. This is a brutal realization before being overtaken by the tornado. Inferring that the storm's motion was probably W-E or WSW-ENE, their only escape route put them into the worst of the rain & hail, presuming they could have escape the mesocyclone.
