James Spann says there's one thing you can do in a mobile home, you have to get out of it for a more substantial shelter. Even an EF0 and EF1 tornado can very well kill you in a mobile home, as they're not anchored to the ground. They offer affordable housing, but they are unsafe in tornadoes. Like vehicles, they are death traps. Andover, Kansas F5 tornado on April 26, 1991 - 11 killed in the Golden Spur Trailer Parks. Even straight line winds will destroy it and can seriously injure or kill anyone in them.

Any videos on the mid-April outbreak in 2011, that affected places from the southern plains to the east coast? On the 3rd day of the outbreak, Sanford, North Carolina, and a Lowes Home Improvement store got hit.

Lost EF5 tornado, overshadowed by the Joplin EF5 2 days before, and the Super Outbreak less than a month before, with 4 EF5s. This storm system would move east and Joplin was under a tornado warning amid the devastation there.

i think it is important to note that the intense winds from this storm lasted over 20 minutes in some locations in cedar rapids

Iowa has had two derechos since. The December 2021 derecho that caused Iowa schools to get out early because of the ground sweating. The second one was in May of 2024 when wind speeds picked up drastically over a short period and ruined some crop fields again. SHOUT OUT TO MY IOWANS

Now 20k!

People who ignore tornado warnings naturally select themselves, in a way.

I guess anything over 200 is total devestation so no need for EF6, 7 etc. On this scale the 1970 Lubbock Tx. tornado would be like an EF10. 325mph winds estimated in the vortexes. Houses vanished with only a slab left.

You seem to forget about the 7/7/91 southern Great Lakes derecho. No one ever talks about that one.

195 mph has got to be a joke. This thing had to have been well into the EF5 range.

You should do the math on what kind of tornadic winds could tip over a modern 430,000lb locomotive. It's hard to find anything in the real world of that occurring.

The canton lake tor was such a beast considering the storm’s more meridional path/comparatively modest SRH

2011 was insane

Tuscaloosa tornado was an EF-5 I don’t care what the experts say. 🤷‍♂️

😢😢😢😢😮😮😮

I got lucky and had a 2 minutes of warning from a friend in keystone but watching those black clouds come over the horizon so fast then the tree limbs falling and the wind was surreal

Morris has some things that are still going but are damaged by the storm.😢 but look cool 😎

I live I’m morris I’ll 😅

.. forgotten by who exactly? this is a super popular twister. 🤔

I was in Cedar Rapids during the storm, and there was really no warning. I could look outside to the west, and all I could see was just pitch black darkness. It almost looked like nighttime. Thank god in my neighborhood no one had significant damage to their homes, but just miles from my home there were homes that we demolished by trees. It was kinda weird that our own Governor wouldn't help us, but people from other states were willing to drive hundreds of miles to give us food, shelter, and power for the time being. School was also delayed for another 2 weeks which was pretty awesome. Also, the city wide power-outage made for an amazing stargazing experience, allowing us to see a meteor shower that first night. Also to mention, the winds were so strong from the storms that my windows almost rattled to the point of breaking, and our water tap nob was literally screwed off by the wind speeds causing our outdoor tap water to turn on. You need some crazy amount of force and vibration to force a nob off just by the wind. Some people didn't have power for up to 2 weeks too.

That was a terrible cyclone 😢

I wasn't there, but I have been in a few weak tornadoes so I understand winds and what they can do. One severe thunderstorm had some crazy outflow winds reported with it. I saw the wall cloud come just over the trees and ran outside to close the shutter on my picture window in almost calm winds. 20 seconds later with only one end fastened I was running back inside with winds of about 50 MPH on me wondering how much worse it was going to be and whether the shutter would hold. It can happen faster and harder than you can imagine.

I was in northwest Indiana when it hit. It was almost completely clear out until the clouds came over the horizon. The craziest thing was seeing the rain pouring and whipping across a field no more than a quarter mile away, when it was calm and dry at the house I was staying at. Lost power within seconds of the storm hitting the house itself-didn't get it back for three days.

I lost my last bit of faith in humanity when at least a third of my facebook feed started calling this fake news. Like why the hell would anybody lie about this?

Prior to 2015 I had never heard of Greensburg or the tornado that hit it. I found out after driving through as a newly minted truck driver. The remaining trees are extremely battered and many driveways and foundations can be seen. Putting two and two together I figured it must have been a tornado, confirmed later when I looked it up after parking later that evening. Since then, I've parked overnight in the ruined neighborhood on the north side of 400. Very tragic and I'm glad the town has tried to bounce back. Absolutely hated being in Kansas and OK when severe weather threatened, those monsters are absolutely terrifying to me.

I can't imagine how loud it was in that oil rig storm shelter. Or what they must've thought when they stepped out and saw what they had survived

You should cover the SD 2022 derecho! 107mph gusts!

No one remembers that storm from storm chasers

I remember this like it happened yesterday. I live in nw illinois and we didnt have power for about a week after this. I remember being absolutely shocked at the amount of damage in forreston, but in my little town of adeline we kind of missed the worst of it
