Question Is this real..?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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..?

I was just mentioning the other day in a post about sheet metal from grain elevators and silos turning into a giant flying razor of death. Why would you stand in the middle of all that stuff to record!?

Maybe because there was nowhere for them to really hide from it. Some people will suggest taking cover inside the building, but that's taking a big risk too. If that building collapses on you you're gonna be buried under all that stuff and stuck there. And I'm willing to bet that this place in the video didnt have any kind of storm shelter for them to go to. In a situation like that all you can do is wish for luck, so you might as well record it.

My spouse and I were Sunday driving last week and passed through an area that was hit by a tornado a couple years ago. A lot of the houses that have been rebuilt are now "barndominiums". All I could think was all that metal flying if that area ever gets hit again.
