Mon Dieu!

Part 9 of 16- 3AM Tennessee Tornado Countdown. The sirens start to blare again as the lightning hits us hard! The tornado cone is out in the field violently sucking the severe rain straight into the funnel! Thank you for watching!

This clip is from Part 8 of our countdown. The rapid-fire lightning strikes continue to illuminate the pitch-black sky, revealing the massive tornado cone tracking through the background. Midway through the video, the sky opens up and the rain begins to absolutely dump. That's when the wind violently picks up and starts physically “sucking” the torrential downpour straight toward the cone like a giant vacuum!

I have an archive of over 400 severe weather videos taken over the past two years, and you won't want to miss them as they drop. In this clip, the lightning and thunder are incredibly loud as multiple solid bolts blast the pasture right across the street. The atmosphere is so supercharged you can literally smell the raw electricity in the air! The severe wind and rain pick up fast, and if you watch until the very end of the video, the lightning flashes finally reveal the actual tornado cone coming into play. [1, 2]

⚠️ HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED! ⚠️PUMP UP THE VOLUME!!!

The storm is rapidly intensifying. The tornado is continuing its dangerous southern trajectory, tracking straight toward our house here on the outskirts of Lebanon, Tennessee.

In this episode, the wind and rain start to severely increase as the outer bands move directly over our backyard.Suddenly, three massive, solid cloud-to-ground lightning bolts strike the open fields right outside our neighborhood.

Each strike is accompanied by immediate, deafening crackling thunder that violently echoes throughout the entire valley. The extreme atmospheric rotation is starting to wrap around us, and the physical tornado cone is almost coming into play. Stick around, because in the next two videos, the constant lightning finally uncovers the massive tornado cone hiding in the background!

🌪️ Thank you ALL for your support, We Appreciate You! 😊

I’ve spent almost 20 years chasing storms. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t interested in making another highlight reel.
I wanted to create a documentary series that captures what storm chasing actually feels like—the uncertainty, the miles, the decisions, the victories, the failures, and the rare moments when everything comes together.
That’s what THE REAR FLANK is.
If you’re into storm chasing, filmmaking, or long-form storytelling, I’d genuinely appreciate you checking it out.

It depends on both your safety and luck. If you are inside a sturdy building, you are completely safe. However; if you are outside of a structure, you can still survive but the risk of death is much higher. Wind speeds can reach up to an estimated ≈ 85 mph. Flying debris or objects from afar could impact you. If you're lucky, you can recover from those injuries and walk away fine.

btw im new, so hello!! (人 •͈ᴗ•͈)

A derecho is a type of storm that can be just as damaging and dangerous as a tornado or even a hurricane.
