Help me fix my transmission. Ugh. Yeah, my transmission has just tanked (June 2024), and I can't chase without one.
Hit the "Thanks" button and drop me a couple of bucks if you like the video, or Paypal me a buck to my email, below, if you like this video. If 1 out of every 100 folks dropped me $5, I could pay for my trans within a few months.

When the chaser gets chased: An EF4 is chasing *me*, and now I have to get out of its way.

On March 31, 2023, I traveled to Washington, IA, to storm chase. A few hours later, I watched the entire process of a EF4 forming.
Pardon the static in the jump cuts.... I'm still trying to figure out how to get rid of it. I believe it has to do with two different sampling or bit rates of sounds from different audio sources. If you edit video and you know what's going on, please let me know.
This was the first tornado that I had seen, in person. There was a previous tornado that I said I had "seen", and I'm clearly wrong. This was it. I can't get better than this.
I've been chasing about a dozen times before this.
Some post-editing notes: Can't apologize for shaky cam enough. That's me freaking out. I thought about using Premiere Pro software to "unshake" it, but that often results in fuzzy images.
Camera used: Canon RP, 18-40mm Canon lens
An older, Geko dashcam
Gnolkee "4k" camera
Tascam DR40
Leave comments. Be nice. I'm well aware that I was not prepared for what happened.
