Top 10 tornado videos
Tornado videos can be as powerful as tornadoes themselves, so MNN rounded up some of the most powerful funnels ever caught on film. Here's our top 10 tornado video countdown -- and we saved the most forbidding for last.

RELATED ON MNN: Tornadoes 101
 
Tornadoes are one of the planet's most photogenic natural disasters, and with zealous storm chasers hunting them each spring and summer, they're well-documented on YouTube. But as this year's U.S. twister season hits its peak, we decided to sift through all that funnel footage and round up the 10 videos that best convey these storms' — and storm chasers' — intensity.
 

 

 
10) Veteran storm chaser Jim Reed tailed this tornado across Kansas in May 2008 along with very patient intern Robin Lorenson. The funnel is impressive, but the most memorable part comes at the 3:58-minute mark, when Reed inexplicably jogs off into the tornado to end the clip.
 
 

 
9) If tornadoes could make promotional videos about themselves, they'd look like this. With a sunset peeking through the clouds and shimmering background music, this scene is more idyllic than intimidating. Storm chaser Roger Hill does offer a compelling case study for the delicate beauty of tornadoes, but if the next eight videos are any indication, this is the exception rather than the rule.
 
Top 10 tornado videos: No. 8 and No. 7 >

In disaater context most people stay safe with miles distance.But in this context man who capture the natures fury is hardhearted.Those who capture this type of event for us are jwells for our society.I like to draw kind intention that they may use safty materials as well as should take necessary pre preparation.

If I were only younger...I'd be chasing them too. I think they are beautiful and awesome. Something to be respected and feared as well. My warning sign that one is near is when the hair on my neck bristles. You can feel the electricity in the air. Makes my blood rush...I love it.
