Historic tornado videos missing from youtube/the internet?

[AngelAndHisWx]

I don’t know about historic, and if one wants to be especially technical it’s not a tornado since it was only ever over water, but it is a neat event. A rare Lake Tahoe waterspout from late 1998, filmed by a local living along the shore. Dr. Joe Golden cited this as being one of the largest waterspouts he had seen at the time, his Weatherwise article is how I even found the videographer. As far as I know, this is one of only two known videos from this morning.

It's not publicly available (yet)...but it is historic and it is missing.



TLDR: Someone may have taken a video of Barneveld.

If this story is legit ( it is from Reddit after all...), this would be quite huge. Probably the latest F5/EF5 that has ever occurred

Just realized this was a year ago. Was there no follow up? I'm gonna contact this Redditor

I think my head would explode if I actually saw footage of Barneveld (although given that it would have been taken at night, with a very early home camera, on a now over 40-year-old videotape, I'm not expecting too much). Heck, if they find it I'd like to see their uncle's train videos, too especially if there are any from Wisconsin.

Though not in depth or revealing anything new, here's a short local documentary of part of the Tri-State tornado including interviews with some of the survivors.

Is it just me or does this seem fishy? Firstly, I’ve talked to many people who were in Barneveld none of them had talked about seeing it even those inside of vehicles caught in the tornado in town. Secondly based on radar scans it seems like it would have been extremely hard to see the tornado since it seemed to have also been rain wrapped and not even to mention its forward speed was 70 MPH. That’s just my thoughts but this very well could be true, we just don’t have any evidence yet beside a post on Reddit.
