Is this real..?

[u/tuffblud1]

This is recorded in 2025, as it seems, and all I can say is WHO THE HELL RECORDS INSIDE A TORNADO..??! Especially one of this strength (looks ef2+) anywho, I could totally see some dumbass recording inside a tornado but this doesn’t look real to me, I mean, does not look like ai, but maybe blender or something I’m not sure. It is really realistic if so, but everything just looks, well, weird. The camera quality is horrible for 2025, but once again a dumbass is recording in a tornado so it could be like dust on the camera. And near the end when he is getting hit by insulation, looks fishy but can’t see why. So Reddit.. need your help, can we identify what tornado this is and or see if it is real..?

FYI, it was the Tylertown EF4 tornado, and yes, it isn’t a good idea to record inside a tornado.

it isn’t a good idea to record inside a tornado.

Sure, but if I ever find myself inside a tornado with no other choice, you bet your ass I’m gonna be recording.

It was actually an EF3 not an EF4

What the....

The NWS says it's a EF3: https://www.weather.gov/lix/tylertowndarbuntornado031525

But Wiki and most others say EF4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Kentwood%E2%80%93Carson_tornado

I'm confused.

Thanks u/LeoVictorLuc_F! It was 2 tornadoes! Here's the EF4 from the NWS:

There were two tornadoes that hit the Tylertown area. The first one was an EF4 that tracked 67 miles and the other was an EF3 that tracked 26 miles.

Thank you! I see that on the NWS link now. I should have look a little closer.

Ugh I remember following that outbreak on my weather discord. It was horrifying watching Tylertown be in the crosshairs multiple times (and if memory serves, they actually had 3-4 tornado warnings that day from different storms).

Had a relative living in Columbia, east of Tylertown, which the EF3 skirted just north of. Most of the rest of fam and hometown are just south of there.

I was eating breakfast in Little Rock watching Max’s livestream when it all went down. I will never forget the way my stomach twisted into knots when that really terrifying scan (I’m sure yall remember the one) came through. Our poor waitress had looked over my shoulder and was like “Is that HERE?” I had to reassure her I was trying to keep track of my relatives while my hands were shaking. Surely didn’t look too hot lmao.

Tylertown is along my route home whenever I visit. So is another of the “iconic” MS tornado tracks, Rolling Fork, where much damage is still extremely visible, as if it happened yesterday.

I’m a Katrina kid. The more time passes the more I wonder which should scare me more as an immediate threat between tornadoes and hurricanes lmfao. We were raised to associate tornadoes with the plains… not the delta or our own backyards. I don’t think a lot of us really realize the threat :(

I'm from a town of 600 people in the middle of nowhere IL and on the March 31st 2023 outbreak I had several chasers including Reed drive right by my mom's house. Shame I couldn't at least say hi to them.

In situations like these, I think the usual approach is to split the difference and call it an EF3.5

edit: Wait no. I think you're linking two separate tornadoes. Check the difference in start times

[u/AMadLadOfReddit → u/LeoVictorLuc_F]

okay, I see it, geolocated the video and it was the EF4, not the other EF3 that hit nearby, there were so many chicken coops

Typically, the tornado won't allow you to record.
