We have never really done “Black Friday.”

Twenty-eight years ago, when Twister was released, YouTube was nine years away from being launched, and commercial drones were not yet available.

This amazing footage is reminiscent of the 1996 movie.

This amazing drone footage of a tornado was captured near Greenfield, Iowa, on May 21. The video shows a close-up view of the swirling vortex. This powerful tornado caused extensive damage to many windmills along its path and hit the Greenfield community. Reed Timmer, whose Team Dominator intercepted this tornado, posted the video on YouTube.
