Strong tornado from Beryl remnants moves through Mount Vernon, Indiana - drone view

The beginning of this video is why the NWS says in its Skywarn storm spotting classes to look at what is going on on the ground and not just in the air. If you were just looking at the base of the clouds you would miss the nearly invisible ground circulation and conclude that it is not on the ground yet. Just because the visible part of the condensation funnel hasn't reached the ground doesn't mean it isn't capable of doing major damage. This is another reason why the NWS says in its warnings "do not wait to see or hear the tornado coming, do not go out and look for it." A major misconception that I personally had to overcome when I became involved in storm spotting, and one I'm sure a lot of people have who haven't seen a tornado, is most tornadoes do not look like the classic Wizard of Oz tornado or even the ones in Twister. The only one I have seen so far was so thin and transparent it looked more like an overgrown dust devil than a tornado. By taking spotter classes and watching videos like this one, I've learned that tornadoes can take all kinds of shapes and are not always easy to recognize that they are tornadoes. I really encourage people to take Skywarn classes, they are free and can be found online as well as in person--and it could save your life. Here in Michigan we've had several instances recently where a tornado spun up, did damage, and dissipated before the NWS could issue a warning--one tragically killed a three-year-old child in Livonia. According to Michigan Storm Chasers, this is not uncommon for our state.

This is incredible, Dan!

Man, Beryl just won't quit with the mayhem. Crazy how many twisters it spawned.

Wow! That truck making its escape!

Semi driver at 1:15 just sent it straight through the nader.

Impressive work! My brother works at the Kenco logistics warehouse that you see getting obliterated. Thank God no one was injured.

Im the only one that noticed the Semi Trailer at 1.20 fleeing for his life

That semi at 1:19 was certainly cleared for take-off!! Great work on this video!

Yikes. Generations of my family there since pre-Civil War. Haven't heard of any injuries, thank God.

Was at the ADM plant which is about a mile from there when it happened, sirens started going off, and wind almost knocked me down and the raid was coming in sideways.

There are so many tornado videos now there aren't many I can watch once and say "instant classic." This is one of those. I haven't yet seen what AI-powered visual effects they came up with for Twisters , but I maintain that Hollywood has nothing on real-life tornadoes.

I cannot believe how much perspective a drone can provide of a tornado from the air now! Tim Samaras would be so impressed! Well caught Dan and I hope that truck driver is ok!

Great shot from the Drone, Thank you for the video.

WOW! It has been a while since I have seen any tornado vids from you Dan, but as always, when I do, I am amazed by your chasing skills & videography! Superb! I am hoping & praying that no-one was hurt by this destructive beast!

Your drone footage was terrifying beautiful. Deadly elegance. Amazing video, truly.

Look at all those vortices too!

Wow that thing had horizantle suction vorticies thats insane, nice video!

Wow - a lot to unpack in that footage, Dan - excellent documentation

Great video-your drone captured the tornado 🌪️ as it spun through mount vernon -I can see the multiple vortices-and you had a close call with the debris blowing around! 😊😊😊😊😊

I just drove through the city of Mount Vernon and seen some of the aftermath. The city was spared from anything catastrophic, for the path of the tornado was just east of city center but the large manufacturing building (seen in footage) has sustained substantial damages. Great video!
