As a resident of Alabama Dixie Alley I'm fascinated by weather and James Spann's coverage. I've watched many hours of videos on the subject. I must say this is a stellar production. Your on air presentation was really top notch. Your chief meteorologist has a scientific mind. Keep up the awesome content and coverage.
I wanted to let you know that putting me in the company of James Spann is a tremendous compliment! He’s a legend and incredible. Thanks so much for the kind words.
@@MrWeatherDan Good job to you and your weather team. May was a very busy and active severe weather season. I've never seen anything like it. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I live in Colcord in a trailer house, it barely missed my house, praise god! I lost my dad in the may 22, 2011 Joplin tornado. He was really protecting me and his grandsons that night!
Wow, this came together great. I was out chasing in Kansas that day. Thanks for the great coverage, keeping people safe. I wish there were a way for local affiliates to take advantage of weather streamers like Ryan Hall and Max Velocity to get the word out to more people. Often those streams can get thousands of viewers, but local affiliates are better positioned to provide more actionable information to locals that can save lives.
I agree whole-heartedly! Another advantage of having people out there like Ryan and others is if your power's out, (and you have a fully charged phone or laptop), you can listen to the stream in case there's a warning in your area. If you're in your car, (hopefully away from the danger), you can listen to it there, too. It was such a blessing to those who were listening to James Span on April 27, 2011, and I'm sure it made a huge difference during the Mayfield, ky and other tornadoes of December 10-11, 2021. Ryan did cover that one, and I believe more people might have been killed if it weren't for this. The Super Outbreak of 2011 on 04/27/2011 was especially bad, because many people had already experienced severe weather the night before, and they had no power. I was here in Atlanta, Georgia, and I remember the 1974 outbreak, and I prayed I wouldn't have to face another tornado impact like I did back then. I've been through two tornadoes, and I hope I don't have to go through another one, but if I do, I hope I live through it. I'll never forget those experiences.
I live in Bentonville near or in the areas where they're trying to determine tornado or straight line winds. Watching this stirred up feelings that I didn't even realize I was hanging on to, and I'm so grateful to all of the people at every level who are trying to help our area recover. Thank you also to the crew who made this documentary, they did a really good job of showing the devastation that these powerful storms can cause. It also showed the humanity, kindness, and compassion of people working together after a disaster like this.
The community really came together to help each other out. We wanted to document that and show the compassion of Arkansans and those around the region. Thanks for the comment!
I was out at Lake Bentonville fishing and watching the couplet on RadarOmega. My ride didn’t want to leave yet. Still had to get dropped off at my car in Centerton as the one was forming in Decatur AND drive back to my family on the far side of Bentonville. I didn’t speed at all but it was the most intense and emotional drive to get back to my family bcz based on the velocity radar, the couplet was literally .5 mile behind me in the drive into town and couldn’t get ahold of my fiancé to get her and my son to a safe spot in our 2nd floor unit. Was 100% the scariest night of my life. The subscription to get RadarOmega is the best money I’ve ever spent. We appreciate your coverage but was tough to relive.
I moved from Claremore, OK to Rogers, AR a few years ago. I had to drive through the damage to get home 5 minutes after it hit. Insane it hit both my towns..
During the 21-minute time frame, I wonder if someone was filming from inside a tornado shelter? (I've been totally blind since birth, and it's terrifying enough to hear a tornado up close and personally. I've been through two). Just hearing that microphone being bombarded by that sound reminds me of the Clem Shultz tornado hit in Fairdale, Illinois. You know that sound; some compare it to a train, and that's accurate. Both tornadoes I experienced sounded like a fighter jet. They were so terrifying, and I'm glad others were there on both occasions.
Well done. I live in Fayetteville. It was weird because I happened to be out of town in Branson. I was up late tho following the weather live. I didn't sleep much that night. It's such a miracle more lives weren't lost. Much praise to the weather people.
Everyone did a great job. I was watching your live from here in Arizona when it happened. Cant imagine what it was like having to go through that first hand.
I had this storm follow me from outside of Tulsa l, all the way to Fayetteville. It was close enough that I could see the crazy lightning all the way home.
I live in eastern Pennsylvania, and, last summer, we were actually hit by an EF1 tornado. It went behind our house, knocked over a big tree, which crashed right into our living room. It totally obliterated the back deck, pretty much smashed all the windows in the living room, and the back wall was totally obliterated as well. Luckily, we were overseas in our native country of Sweden visiting. No one was hurt. However, the damage was done. It cost about $54,000 to get the house fixed. Luckily, we have insurance. All is well now. Everything is rebuilt. However, that was very very scary. I mean the damage was considerable. Ours was the only house damaged in our neighborhood. Go figure. Thank God for our neighbors. This disaster shows what good people they and our extended family is. It’s crazy. We live just 10 minutes west of the New Jersey border. Never heard of this happening here.
Amazing documentary and beautiful music choice, I love Scott B. Amazing job telling the stories and showing the process and hard work of a dedicated meteorologist warning people at risk. My Dad and I were in Anthony, KS during this outbreak. Wild day. It’s scary to imagine that it was supposed to be much worse than it already ended up being.
This is why it's very important for everybody to have weather radios in their house. Or weather alert thing you plug in. I forgot what they're called. But itll get you up. Everyone is usually asleep by this time. Nobody is going to be up watching the news
This whole Tornadic Supercell actually started out west of I-35 north of Guthrie, Okla....... & Tracked over half way across Oklahoma, then in to Northwest Arkansas, just across the state line from me, then touched down again in Colcord & Decatur, then Rogers, Bentonville & across Northern Arkansas
I work for the solid waste transfer station of Marion county I had to go through the damaged area (drive) . The trees to the right of hwy 412/62 (going through Snow) were just brown like they were hit with a giant weed killer sprayer , trees were just ripped out of the ground,limbs were all over the place.
I knew just seeing the non stop lightning at midnight and just a little prior back north northwest something just wasn’t right. And my goodness was I right. Mother Nature just showed how powerful she can be even in the Ozarks 💔💔
If you look almost all severe storms during all three season winter spring and summer they all have the same movement they come off the Pacific which is in the west go south gather the moisture from the gulf and move north east.

Definitely a scary night. Great job to Dan and his team!
Thanks! It was definitely a team effort!
"The chase is over. It's now search and rescue." 🥺
I live in Colcord in a trailer house, it barely missed my house, praise god! I lost my dad in the may 22, 2011 Joplin tornado. He was really protecting me and his grandsons that night!
God*
@@jamedlock83 hush id I wanted corrected I would have corrected it myself
Anti-cyclone tornados are rare! A clockwise movement 😳
Here are storms spin counter over on the other side of the world they spin clockwise.
I just felt my anxiety rise watching this all again. So scary.
Wow, this came together great. I was out chasing in Kansas that day. Thanks for the great coverage, keeping people safe.

Exceptional job on the video u now have a new subscriber keep up the excellent work
I’m from Northwest Arkansas in Fayetteville. I have some friends in Rogers who suffered great losses and lovely businesses that were devastated.

My parents used to live in Cave Springs. So the areas mentioned, I've been to. I watched this closely. Thank you for posting this
These people have lost everything. Their houses, jobs, schools and their communities. Absolutely devastating. ❤❤
It shows that you truly care.
Such a scary night. This was cool to watch
You're gorgeous :)
@@jamedlock83Stop simpin 🤦🏻♂️
Glad I was able to help that night!
Great job
This was fantastic, Dan!
This is KNWA's version of KFSMs "Sunday's Fury". Weird thing is, May 26th was also on a Sunday. . .
Have to watch this soon

Very well constructed video
awesome video!!!
Lead meteorologist looks like Saul Goodman lmao
This whole Tornadic Supercell actually started out west of I-35 north of Guthrie, Okla....... & Tracked over half way across Oklahoma, then in to Northwest Arkansas, just across the state line from me, then touched down again in Colcord & Decatur, then Rogers, Bentonville & across Northern Arkansas
I lost my home in the tornado that went through Decatur. It was terrifying!
Did anyone help the dog? Find it's owners?!
1.86 miles wide is massive. 8th largest btw
Pyatt/Snow was pretty much the hardest hit area in my county
I work for the solid waste transfer station of Marion county I had to go through the damaged area (drive) . The trees to the right of hwy 412/62 (going through Snow) were just brown like they were hit with a giant weed killer sprayer , trees were just ripped out of the ground,limbs were all over the place.
Was up until 1:00 am cause of this storm
I'm not scared of storms but violent storms during the night time I'm uncomfortable with.
I knew just seeing the non stop lightning at midnight and just a little prior back north northwest something just wasn’t right. And my goodness was I right. Mother Nature just showed how powerful she can be even in the Ozarks 💔💔
We are SOOO lucky the tornadoes weren't stronger. I was only awake bc i got a phonecall that night.
At 2030 or so that is what i can a car wash hog damn
I’m in.
Whoa! He was way too close to all that natural gas. It smelled so badly for so long over there.
are there superdupercells? i hope not
I was in
If you look almost all severe storms during all three season winter spring and summer they all have the same movement they come off the Pacific which is in the west go south gather the moisture from the gulf and move north east.
so Oklahoma and Arkansas are next to each other....is that something thing new? i swear Arkansas leap frogged Missouri lol
What about April 26
Why are they all dressed the same ???
That’s because we’re a weather team! We strive to keep our community safe!
@@MrWeatherDan ok...good answer
What does that matter? You're more worried bout that is crazy.
@@rachel3682 I'm not worried about anything...I'm just curious why they are all dressed the same
