This was basically a suicide attempt [Edit: Leaving for posterity, but later information indicates he was just a badass]. He didn't even move when it was clear that odds were likely that the tornado was absolutely going to hit him. I'm not sure what protective measures his wife took, but this guy at the very least could have moved away from the window and got into a tub or something.

Maybe he's an invalid that can't move? At 85, that wouldn't be so out of the ordinary.

Or maybe he just doesn't give a fuck. Or maybe... No way of knowing. Maybe someone will ask him.

Apparently he was too much of a badass.

"In an instant the tornado passed right through -- literally -- his house. Schultz rode the debris from the collapsing chimney down...Moments later a neighbor was digging him out of the rubble. Schultz was out and standing within four minutes."

I hope someone writes something like that about me if I make it to 85.

I used to think it'd be fun to survive a tornado...

That was terrifying.

Yah, I started out thinking OK this goes in the EIA channel but after reading the daily herald article I realized that I love this guy. After realizing he wasn't going to make it to the basement or wherever his wife was (just as well) he proceeds to video the event. And he didn't vertical video it. This really brings home for me the actual experience of living through a tornado and how every survivor you ever hear compares the sound to a locomotive.

No, "fun" is not a word you associate with Tornado's or weather that produces tornados. Watching the sky go green is an all the color draining from your face event.

I don't think the word "badass" is right.

I think of his poor wife sitting alone without him, terrified in her last minutes. He survived and I guess that's lucky, but I would want to be with my family in something like that. I don't think I could live with myself knowing that they died without me because I wanted to capture something on video.
