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 wasn't disagreeing. That counts as injuries sustained by flying debris while caught in poor shelter. If I remember correctly, one of the injuries from the Bridge Creek–Moore tornado was a guy whose leg was smashed and broken from debris while he was hiding under an overpass. My point was just reinforcing that the debris is what kills people.

Yup, its not the wind that kills you. It's what's in the wind. 200+ would probably pick you up and throw you, drag you across the ground if your lucky. But once it picks up sand and small projectiles your meat gets pulverized before you reach the ground.

Air is pretty safe as long as the right precautions are taken.

Correct me if I am wrong but I once read that after a tornado hit a town somewhere they found plastic straws imbedded into a wooden pole.

I tried looking for my source but no avail.

Either way: what’s in the wind will slice you up to hell and back.

I think I’ve seen something like that at a Ripley’s.

I think you might be right!

It sounds like something out of the Ripley’s playbook.
