It's good to have things properly identified :) A lot of the vids on that channel come from TikTok and similar sources without much verification being given.

Ik this may not be significant/off-topic, but does anyone know if any footage of Sean Casey's tornado intercepts happen to exist in their unedited form outside of clips seen in both Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers, and his Tornado Alley IMAX movie? I've been curious to see if any footage of the original TIV intercepting a tornado exists (or existed at some point). Ik footage of TIV 2 intercepting tornadoes exist, but idk if any of TIV 1 exist.

On this forum if you say "only" you'll get replies from 5 people having 3 vids, 14 pics, 7 newspaper articles, and an audiobook on the matter ;)
Seriously this is the best place I have ever found for tornado info after about a decade of looking. It don't get better than on TalkWeather

3:57-4:11, don't think I've ever seen that footage of the early stages of the Hackleburg tornado before. Not surprised to see that like Cullman, it began as a narrow/chaotic multiple-vortex (it seems many violent tornadoes do, especially in extreme parameter environments such as this day; similar evolutions were reported/photographed on April 3, 1974 and April 11, 1965), but probably wedged out much faster. Is there a longer version someplace?

This turned out to be the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham tornado filmed at a water treatment facility right between Mcdonald Chapel and Pratt City. Some truly phenomenal footage and a great find, I’ve never seen the actual tornado itself within this phase of its life — as it was obscured by the extremely low hanging mesocyclone along with rain and debris. At this point in the video, the tornado was likely just exiting Pleasant Grove.
