It moves south. Be careful. I'm heading south. You need to get out of there, man. What's going on? Do you want a better shot? So many hunters. I know. It's crazy that it's late June in South Dakota and there are so many hunters here. This is crazy. Going up my God, look at this. Okay, I'll record it through the window again. It almost feels like he's alive. It's like there's a monster in front of you and you're trying to document it without it eating you. The best tornado. It's the best tornado I've ever seen. God.
What is this? Dude, this is genuinely the most incredible thing I've ever seen. This could become the tornado of the year, brother. It continues moving east. We are very close to Gary. We're right next to Gary, South Dakota. Wind speeds and tornadoes of this magnitude exceed 160 mph and reach 200 mph. This is a high-level tornado and you only see a couple of these a year. This is when the tornado makes this sharp left turn and heads straight for the road where I am, as well as my friends. Oh my God, man. My God. He's going to cross the road. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. Come on, we can do it. We need a closer shot
. I think this is an EF5, you know? How. It can't be that they're about to intercept him. Look at this. How long will it last? We're going to have to go.we're going to. We're okay. We're ok. Oh, no. My God, stay strong. The Dominator is in there. Right there. I'm trying to go. We arrived just in time for Gary's tornado Look at it! I'm right above it! Right above. Look at it seemed like the perfect tornado interception to get in and measure that you see that? It's coming towards us. It's coming
straight towards us. We need to get out of here. The Dominator is built to withstand winds up to EF4 intensity, but it does not guarantee survival in these tornadoes. Hold on, hold on! We're back. What's that coming loose? Hold on! It's dragging us down! We're trapped! Hold on! It 's sucking us in! Something catches my eye on the side of the road. So I turn around. And I see this corgi. Come on, friend. Come on. Get on. Good. Good dog.
What's up, buddy? Very good. We have to save this dog. And now I have to figure out what to do with it because we're in the path of a developing tornado that I know could touch down at any moment. Okay, let's get this dog to safety. I'm going to enter this house quickly. Come on, little one. Come on. Good. Come on, little one. Okay, here goes. I have to go back. An elderly couple opens the door and they seem very withdrawn because of my presence, because I am frantic. Thank you so much. Thank you. But the old man was kind enough to keep the dog. And now I have to go back into the storm and decide what I'm going to do from here.
Good. definitely smells like dog in here now. Alright, it's right here, guys. A strong tornado right in front of us. North Dakota is being battered today. Where is it? Do you see anything? I lost.It's on the left. My God, my friend. An incredibly violent wedge tornado. My God, it's a violent tornado. Yeah, this thing is absolutely massive, bro. We have rubble out here. It's one of the strongest of the day. It is clear that this thing is going to cause very serious damage if it hits any structure. north to Sheldon and I'm very worried about Sheldon. I was going to tell you to be ready to do search and rescue work in Sheldon. I'm
going all in now. I'm going all in now. These night tornadoes seem to have a different temperament. And in my experience, they often hurt people. location. Yes, give me an idea of where to go. The wind is blowing back this way Just look at the radar, man. I don't know what to tell you. Let's try to get the shot and then we can go south. Does that sound good to you? I see John McKinney right in front of me, no more than 100 yards away. Hey, are you standing in front of me? Wow, heavens, strong wind. And without my knowing, a new tornado formed to the north, about to cross the road.
John, take care, my friend. Wow, that thing is exploding from behind. You guys need to be careful. Right above our heads. Probably only here. Keep your head down. This is going to happen, John. And right now we're just trying to get close enough to the tornado to deploy the FPV drone and send sensors inside. We'll have to go east and then north again because he has. I'll try here. OK. I'm doing it visually because, yes, it doesn't appear. We have about a mile and a half. OK. Great navigation so far. Do you smell that? Wow! That's the smell of a tornado. It looks incredible from the front right now.
We need to be stopped to launch the drone. How's everything going, Will? It wo n't let me activate it while we're moving. Okay, it's going crazy on the left side of the road. That's difficult for Team Dominator to achieve. We are constantly moving, constantly maneuvering. We can up here. We definitely can. It's a perfect tornado. Let's do it Okay, it's going crazy on the left side of the road.
Ground traffic. Look at the movement. And we'll park it and that won't fly away from here. You feel a kind of persistent hopelessness for the people who are in the path of this storm. Debris is coming in through the window. Oh, he's hitting things. Oh, that tree just. It just hit the house. Very good, brother. We need to turn around Yes. So that's a huge danger. It went from being the most incredible thing I've ever seen to oh my god, I hope nobody is hurt. My God. Bands of rain wrapping under the circulation. This is about to drop a big one, guys. It's going to Tornado! Ashore. Right there. Now, there it is, brother.
Woo! Okay, let's go. Go up. OK. Okay, I'm going to ask you to film that. You don't know, you can. Big tornado. My God, my friend. Oh, man. looks quite violent here. My God. Come on. Very good, guys. Look at that thing. Oh, man. It's right there. Okay, zoom in and do what I told you. This is a beast. That's one of the most violent tornadoes I've ever seen. Be careful. Then there's the sound; it's unlike anything you could imagine. It simply makes the entire floor vibrate. This thing is throwing debris like crazy. Look how that thing is going. Time to turn around. This thing is violent. I
was definitely worried about Mike. If he were to be caught by that incoming current, it could literally suck him in. It's a matter of life or death at that moment. And most likely it will be death. Oh my God. That's why we're scared shitless Woohoo! That's not even real. We chased the rain and the coverage. We have a strong tornado heading straight for us. Careful. It's coming south, guys. Get out of there. Back off, Michael. A violent tornado right there. This guy is going to die. God, he moves south. Careful. It's coming from the south. You need to get out of there, man.
We're in. Yes, we are inside the tornado. Wow. Oh. Damn. He just threw a sign over my car. I realized at that moment that we were in danger. You must be aware of everything that happens in the situation, as that is also a risk. Oh, it's right here. We could see that the tornado was on land. But it was still very far away; We want to be a kilometer or closer to get the images we're looking for. Yes, I could, I could, we're down here. How disappointing. But one thing I've learned from chasing storms is that this tornado could end at any moment. So what do you want to do? Do you want to keep driving towards it hoping it stays put, or do you want to
get out and make the most of what you have now? Can I move to the front seat? Can I record? Can I record this? Uh, yes. I'll hold it above your head. Yes. Here it comes. Yes friend. The winds are very strong. Can we get out of here because I can't even. Is there any way to escape these winds? No. I going to come back here to the east for a better view. As I approach this tornado from the north, I know I'm in a dangerous position because I'm in what we call the bear cage; It's like you're in a cage and the tornado is the bear.
When a tornado begins to reach the end of its life, it can make these chaotic movements, and that's exactly why being in the bear cage is so dangerous. Wow. to get that close-up shot. Oh! But then, the tornado stops right in the gravel road in front of me. And I quickly realize that the tornado is starting to expand towards me. Oh, no. Oh! I
