Hi guys. I've been a big fan of this site for a long time. What's the most debris filled tornado you've ever seen personally or on video? the Moore monster of 1999 is the one that comes to my mind.

The Andover 1991 tornado was quite debris filled. The Pampa 1995 tornado was also very debris filled.

Very true. I forgot to mention the pilger tornadoes as well.

Pampa (and then Moore 99) was the first thing that came to my mind.
In person, I saw the Hattiesburg EF4 from 2013 (around the time it was hitting USM) and it was filled with a LOT of debris but it might have seemed so much just because I was watching it with my own eyes instead of seeing on video.

Moore 99 is going to be hard to beat.

Pampa '95 gets my vote.
Still, here are some videos of tornadoes that I don't think have been mentioned here yet:

Man, that Tuscaloosa storm was such a beast. The debris in that thing in person must have been something to behold.

There really aren't any videos that completely do it justice to show just how debris filled it was; I'm not sure why that's the case for Tuscaloosa in particular.
Here are two more that are about as close as we're gonna get, you can especially see how much debris there is as the tornado gets close in the first video and the cameraman zooms in at about the 8:30 mark in the second video.

Yeah, those two clips give some idea of the debris that thing produced. It had to be absolutely full of it, but like you said, there aren‘t really a lot of videos that show the debris like Moore 99 or Pampa.
Ryan and Chandler always kind of crack me up. They had no idea what they were getting into.

The Hesston, KS F5 tornado on March 13, 1990 was really debris filled.

Good one. I forgot just how much debris this video shows.
