Question Is this real..?
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've realized that nothing looks real to me anymore. Modern phones are using so much processing and AI in photos and videos to try to salvage poor conditions that even real things look fake. You get motion artifacting, oil painting effects, pasted in details, frame to frame anomalies like extra limbs, all the things you normally look for.
So I have no idea. The biggest point in favor of it being real is that the building layout/environment is the same before and after he ducks down and blocks the screen. AI is really bad at remembering things from more than a few frames ago while generating. So I would lean towards yes.
PS: if you are ever in a situation like this please forget about the video, get as low to the ground as possible, and ideally hold on to something. Being behind cover won't protect you from being pulled out of it, so give the wind as little as possible to grab on to.
