@@Valerio_the_wandering_sprite same date actually, I live just about 30 miles north of cullman in langtown Alabama were we lost 22 in our county that day to a ef5 on a 150 mile path.. never seen or felt anything like the atmosphere that day, pray I never do..
I can’t believe it’s been almost 12 years. I’ll never forget that day. Probably one of the scariest moments in my life. I was still in high school during the 2011 tornado outbreak. The aftermath was heartbreaking. My parents and grandparents homes in cullman were completely destroyed. So many lost everything.
Remember driving down to Cullman months later & wanting to cry at all the beautiful old homes we lost that day. My hubby was born in the old hospital there & still has a lot of family in the area.
I can always identify a tornado from this outbreak not only the vortices but they had a sinister rotation to them, just the way they moved and idk what it was they were very distinct looking.
I live in Florida and remembered hearing that day on the news that Florida could get hit by some tornadoes from this storm, the only thing we got was strong winds, rain, flooding, and power outages that night. The 2011 tornado season was no joke, it definitely topped previous tornado seasons from years before
It wasn't a "season", it was a 3-4 day outbreak with most destructive tornadoes spawning on 4-27 when this Cullman tornado took place. Almost all loss of life happened this same day of the 2011 outbreak as well.
usually the northern hemisphere has a thing called “generational tornado outbreak” and they only happen 2-3 times in 100 years, both the 1974 outbreak and the 2011 outbreak are solid examples of this type of outbreak
Some incredible footage!! I have mad respect for tornadoes!! At times it seemed like someone was walking!! They don’t call it “DEAD MAN WALKING!” FOR NOTHING!!!
While just about all of the violent EF4 and EF5 tornadoes in the outbreak were dead-man walking types, this tornado, Phil-Campbell Hackleburg, and Rainsville had such pronounced dead-man walking phases it was horrifying. This tornado was already causing EF4 damage during its "dead-man walking" phase as well. What a day April 27, 2011 was.
This tornado dropped in the South Walmart parking lot while I watched from the entrance. A horizontal was captured in addition to the vertical from the beginning. Crazy and life-changing day. Thumbs up to whoever captured this video.
I remember this day so well. I was almost hit by this tornado. I remember seeing those vortexes spin around the tornado up close. It was beautiful. If you look at other footage you can see a roof the got pulled off a house and it landed in my backyard.
it’s so crazy, considering that i didn’t live in cullman at the time of these tornados, to see places i’ve been thousands of times now and be like “shit i know where that is”
I''ve always wondered what exactly was going on in the atmosphere to cause all of those horizontal vortices that day. So many of the tornadoes had horizontal vortices, and I really can't think of another example where that happened, other than maybe Jarrell TX.
Hyper-sheared environment especially in the lowest levels I think is what causes tornadoes to have that “blown over” appearance. The wind aloft is super strong but near the ground it doesn’t blow in the direction of the storm motion so the tornado is constantly trying to “catch up” with the meso. Vorticity noodles are also a common result of very strong shear. Look up the Henryville Indiana EF4. It occurred on a day with low cape/instability but incredible shear and it too had lots of vorticity noodles.
@@johnkeller4734 yes. The Sayler Park F5 from the 1974 Super Outbreak also had a similar "blown over" appearance, among several other tornadoes during that outbreak.
We are close but far enough away to not be in that track. They seem to steamroll through there. I wouldn’t live in Cullman without a flat safe shelter.
What a day that was. An employee came into work from Hanceville that morning saying they had been hit. The day just got worse from there. To get home I had to park several blocks away (Cullman Times area) and make my way on foot over downed trees and power lines. Every tree in the neighborhood was down, even in my yard, but by some miracle not a one landed on our house. Dealing with the aftermath was heartbreaking.......
Incredible. 2:55 depicts the environment's ability to concentrate vorticity at the surface just based on how much inflow the storms were given that day. Hundreds of the miles to the southwest, the Philadelphia MS supercell was doing the same thing, and the day was barely starting at that point. Speaks to just how conducive the setup was that storms went from blips on a radar to violent tornadoes in a matter of an hour. April 27, 2011 likely gave us a glimpse into one of the most anomalous tornadic environments that can occur. Makes one wonder about such a parameter space over a much larger area and how it has likely happened thousands of times over the past million years.
Yeah hoss and we had no power for days. It was a testament to the hard working folks that we weren’t out for a month. I’ll never forget how peaceful and beautiful the days were after the outbreak. It was some of the most amazing weather we’ve ever had, but we had to pay for it dearly.
The power was out across so much of the state for days. The day after I waited in line for a few hours at on of the only gas stations with power. Power and communications down sure has an eerie feeling
I'll never forget that day at the time I was living in Hodges Al i witnessed one there stood outside and watched it destroy a few homes pretty scary day
That flag blowing in the wind (about 2:22 through about 2:54) looked like it was going to fly right off the flagpole. I'm surprised that it didn't fly off, given the close proximity of the tornado.
I remember when I was living in Cullman my late husband and I was working at the time and we got home safe while the tornado was on our tailgate, not to mention but hail storm no size of a softball in the year of 2017-2018
I live about a mile from that Exxon station, and I remember that day so well. That terrifying day! A tornado crossed the street a half block from my house, as I stood there looking out the door.
Dude I'm gonna tell you right now that was the worst tornado we ever had with the most destruction to our city of cullman (lived here 25+years to current) I was at the time a officer for the city police department AND just got off duty when it happened hanging in dispatch (safest indestructible building) and they told me to go back on duty and hit the streets and was rough for couple weeks put in some over time then. Every now and then I'll have dreams of back then.
We got hit here in the Cahaba Heights area of Vestavia Hills, Alabama that morning. My neighbor was out of town. I woke up early, thinking I better hurry up and go feed her cat before it got bad. By the time I pulled back into my driveway, all heck was breaking lose. Tress strating falling just as I stepped inside my front door. Several houses just a few blocks away, were destroyed. Leaving nothing but the foundations they once stood on. I couldn't get my husband to the safety of our basement. He was recovering from total knee replacement surgery. Could not make it down the stairs. Other than it looking like a wat zone. No houses on our street were damaged.
A shape-shifting dancing demon stomping and kicking everything and everyone in it's way, indifferent to the suffering and destruction it leaves behind.
That day was by far one of the worse days that happened in Alabama I'll never forget it! I was in Arab and was right down the road to the one that hit Arab area and knew the family that lost several lives that day. Rip to all who were lost.
Fortunately I was live streaming this to thousands of live viewers and I think the word got out rather quick. That was back in the day when storm chasing live streams were very popular and gained lots of traffic though

That day was really scary! We got hit twice once early in the morning and then later that evening there was so much debris coming out of the sky that day I never seen anthing like it.
I lived in Albertville behind the airport on 75...it missed us about an 1/8 of a mile...hit my buddies subdivision in Indian hills tho....craziest shit I ever saw
At one point there is a howling truck, but there are also some odd sounds associated with the wind and tornado as well. The wind speeds where I was standing were around 60 mph
We were north of this across the river (Greenbrier on the edge of the wildlife refuge )but when it came through our area the wind was so strong no one could stand up for about a minute or so, it had us looking for the ditch after getting home from work and stepping out of our car. Edit: It lifted before it got to us but the winds were still very strong on the ground where we were at.
I can only imagine that experience. The storms this day were strong and very fast moving, with confirmed tornadoes. All the reason to take cover quickly
Only those was more powerful than this main twister. Think of the solid form of this twister dancing around a boss twister 2.5 miles wide only they are as string asba EF5.
Reminds me of what one image of the Jarrell, TX tornado looked like. Called it the Dead Man Walking tornado because at one point it looked as though it had legs, as this one did at the beginning of the video
We had a tornado from that out break in TOLEDO OHIO and it took out Lake high school I lived in a subdivision and watched it go out over Lake Erie was a bad on an Ef5 alot of death and destruction it was supposed to hit our subdivision but it missed us it would of destroyed our subdivision!!!🌪⛈
Your help is much appreciated. The only way these roads get cleared fast is by locals coming together and making routes. Truly encouraging to see everyday people performing heroic acts during times like this
I’ve said this before but I’ll say it again: this was perhaps the best example of horizontal vortices in a tornado to date
Don't forget the Tuscaloosa tornado, that twister also comes to mind when people talk about horizontal vortices, and for a good reason.

Ah thank Obama for that one.
But Fr tho the tornado I live in cullman at the. Time holly pond and my house was. Shaking for like 10 mins straight
It’s about to be that scary once again with Biden
Remember driving down to Cullman months later & wanting to cry at all the beautiful old homes we lost that day. My hubby was born in the old hospital there & still has a lot of family in the area.
A beautiful town indeed. Fortunately much of the historic buildings survived
Yeah downtown looked like a warzone
I can always identify a tornado from this outbreak not only the vortices but they had a sinister rotation to them, just the way they moved and idk what it was they were very distinct looking.
yeah every tornado from this outbreak looked incredibly sinister with their horizontal vortices
It’s the shear. Absolutely insane wind shear that day.
This video shows the most unusual and complex trajectory of a tornado I have seen to date.
all of them had very fast forward speeds which gave them a tilt that is pretty recognizable I think. that day was just insanity
Dead man walking

@@anb740 They have the degree, you don't 🤷🏻♂️
@@anb740 To be fair it might have peaked after hitting since it hit town not long after forming

The way the camera turns from a moderately cloudy sky to the tornado less than a few miles away at the beginning is so damn chilling.

Glad you are okay. This was a day many of us will never forget

I live in Fultondale AL and I've heard a ton of stories about 2011 and I was born in 2008 so I'm glad I dont remember this.....
Great camera work. Interesting vortices. Judging by how fast the circular rotation was and the multiple vortices, very violent tornado 🌪
Poor Cullman they always seem to hit there.
We are close but far enough away to not be in that track. They seem to steamroll through there. I wouldn’t live in Cullman without a flat safe shelter.
Cullman is known as the tornado alley of Alabama, I’ve lived there my whole life and that’s what everyone calls it.
Wow what a weird tornado. I've never seen one produce horizontal vortices like that.
The atmosphere was incredibly turbulent this day for sure

Crazy right. What I realized only after looking at the video is how the flag helps show the of the changing wind directions as the tornado moves by.
