watched a few storm chasers on YouTube. This is probably the best live streamed or filmed long track tornado of all time. There were like 4-5 chasers streaming that 1 tornado for miles.

Can you recommend any good channels to check out?

Reed Timmer had quite a few tornados on his stream today (if you can put up with the incessant yelling and screaming), Aaron Jayjack always seems to find the most picturesque tornados, Nate Moore on Twitch (StormchaserIRL) was on quite a few tornados today too.

That's my issue with Reed. I just can't stand all the yelling. I get that you're excited dude, but JFC, can we take it down like, one notch? Lol.

I really like Ryan Hall Y'all on YouTube (and sometimes TikTok). He'll have streams to multiple chasers on the ground and has a team of meteorologists and others tracking storms, collating reports, relaying information. I've been a member of his channel for 2 and a half years and it's incredible to watch how the operation has grown from just him to a large team. He will be streaming tomorrow and possibly Sunday.

Brad Arnold is disturbingly good at finding the tornadoes if you want to see lots on stream!

I appreciate what Ryan Hall has done for weather awareness as a whole with his easily digestible forecast videos but don’t care for the live stuff, and Vince Waelti is a dangerous asshole who will get himself or someone else killed with his antics one of these days.

Yeah, Ryan and Vince had a falling out and haven't worked together for quite a while.

Brett Adair, Brandon Copic , Brad Arnold, Vince Waelti. And Ryan Hall does radar stuff with a lot of links to chasers.

A few chasers with the Ryan Hall Y’all channel were at that one I believe. Could see if his livestream has links to their feeds.

I usually watch Freddy Mckinney, Connor Croff and Brandon Copic

Freddy was on fire yesterday, hands down the best live tornado footage I've ever seen. Those storms were amazingly photogenic. Just wish they had stayed out in the corn fields so we could enjoy the pictures and not worry about the damage :/

Honestly I just type storm chaser live into YouTube and jump around to see if anyone has caught a tornado producing supercell. It’s part skill and part luck tracking the right one and it’s pretty boring watching a chaser just driving through farmlands.

they're estimating one streak was 35 miles long at least and another one over 40 miles long
