5:54 Lol amongst all of this devastation, at least he has that going for him
i'm laughing! God Bless CFA
Love it. So many people were killed and their town is destroyed and they're glad chick fil a is fine. Brightening the mood a bit
I'm laughing that he referred to it as a restaurant
😂🤣
People patronize that place because they support its owners' hateful, backward views.
The fact that only two dozen people died in a densely populated city & amidst all that destruction is a miracle.
@David Anuszewski: Just chance. pure chance.
If you haven’t seen the news coverage from that day you should. No doubt in my mind that anchor saved a lot of people lives
Those 9 children in that elementary school should not have died...did the principal and teachers survive? Then, WHY?
The News coverage and chasers gave a play by play which had people well alerted of the situation. Plus Oklahomans aren't strangers to this kind of thing. Especially in Moore
@@vivians9392 really. Maybe a lot more children would have died if it wasn't for the school staff
What I think is so devastating about this tornado was that 1. Another large EF 5 came through for the second time 14 years after the 99 tornado,
2. It destroyed two elementary schools and occurred right when they were filled with kids whom 7 I believe died. 3. It destroyed the hospital as well…
Unspeakable. Just awful.
9 children unfortunately
@@mattb6646 7 kids were from schools. 2 were not

@@Firemarioflower this tornado wasnt ef5 for its entire lifetime
Bud they didnt get hit, or they got exposed to the wind field, anchor bolted houses were torn down to the foundation, do u think those can survive the tornado while it had ef5 strength
I had just bought a new HD motorcycle from the dealership right next to the Warren Theatre the weekend before this happened. I remember that the credit union that financed me was one of those buildings that were rubble right behind the medical center. I also remember one of the Ogle twins, (Kevin or Kelly, can't remember whether it was channel 4 or 9), was right outside the Plaza Towers Elementary school and he was in tears. He knew it wasn't going to be good and it wasn't 9 kids suffocated when a wall collapsed on them.
omg I hope everyone is okay😭😭😭😭😭

Tornados don't care what you live in
Wtf you're not flying over the damage path you're flying parallel to it too far away to see it
"aerial" does not mean directly over lol
Am so luck I survived this horrible tornado
No such thing as luck, God bless you. Jesus saves sinners
10 years today.
I lived next to Briarwood…. ( one of the schools that got hit)
Thank God here in Brazil there is no such shit
People say why live there?? WTF, it's home for thousands, and why live in ( Compton) or Southside Chicago, or anywhere that shows life can be snatched anytime? Cause it's home 🏘️🏘️ ... Stop asking dumb questions!!!
Huh? Are you really comparing the two? Are you an agenda-pushing rhetoric bot or something? A reasonable person would have said “why live in Florida where hurricanes often make landfall” or “why live in Washington where there’s an active volcano”. Like hurricanes and volcanos, tornadoes are natural weather/environmental events.
Aww this was horrible...I lives in Kansas and I hates tornadoes 🌪 😔 😢 👋🏾👋🏾
Do the majority of people out there have tornado shelters???
4:44 that is a slab if you can spot
This city is huge! So much destruction. My mind is blown.
Why would anyone want to live there ? Nope
Moore seems like a tornadoes playground.
Rebuild it all to only be hit by the next one
They should be reinforced concrete and start the bottom floor below ground the government should part fund it.
@@humansrants1694 Okay, well those are called basements. Too many people complain about taxpayer dollars (especially those that live in and around OKC), so you will not see the government helping to build concrete reinforced structures unless it’s a community shelter. Politicians benefit way too much from allowing insurance companies to scam us.
15:02 and Thats how Kino der Toten was made(not really, Duh)
It makes me angry that we cannot punish it for what it has done. 😠
I second the Chic Fil A comment.
Why are some of these homes completely destroyed but other houses next to them arent. How does that happen
Vortices inside the tornado. Many of the larger and more violent tornados produce vortices or in essence smaller tornados in the base of the main cyclone. These vortices while spinning themselves are spinning around each other taking out like you said some houses completely yet houses next to it barely get scratched in comparison. It is a fascinating phenomenon.
Maybe the tornado misses it
The completely destroyed houses took a direct hit and the others were damaged by the wind
It can be caused by a few things like the different vortex inside the tornado hitting one house put not another or by one being built better than the on beside it but that but s unlikely with an EF5
at least chick fil a is okay
As A European, I have always wondered why they build houses in Tornado Alley with wood frames. I am in England where out houses are build from stone and brick.
The stone and brick houses got obliterated as well.
@@connor4286 If a Ef5 tornado went though Manhattan it would not cause nowhere near as much damage as midwestern places.
@@yacovlevi yes it would you wouldn't know because you've never experienced it a tornado like this or May 3rd would rip your house right off it's foundation Brick and stone doesn't protect you someone ik found that out there hard way
@@yacovlevi you said your European so I don't hold it against you not knowing how powerful these monsters really are but until you've lived here and experienced it I wouldn't assume anything
@@alexmason2659 Are you seriously suggesting on a public forum that a house which had been built in a far stronger way than a weaker made home will not fair better during a tornado hit?
Deserved. Tornado Alley.
This was an F4 tornado though. It reached 340kph which is at the lower end of an F4 rating. Still massively destructive force!!!! The Joplin tornado was an F3 and still very deadly.
Keep in mind that the F scale uses recorded wind speeds and EF scale rates destruction. Tornado subvorticies can be much smaller and much faster than the core of the funnel and do significantly more localized damage.
@@ataricom The F scale ALSO uses a description of the destruction that the severity of the tornado is capable of !!!!
I thought Joplin was an EF5??
@@deniserossiter1059 I"m using the F-scale sir...... The EF-scale is dumb. This is an F3 tornado. Windspeeds aren't crazy high like in an F5.
The f scale is highly more inaccurate than the EF scale that's why they changed it they're both ground scales that major wind speed based on destruction but we found that it takes less Force to destroy the same building so therefore the kph you are trying to base it off of is wrong
15:23
Thank you drudendude, very cool
Aerial View Of EF5 Tornado's Path, sort of
Wow….the Chick Filet comment was appalling
You follow Bill O’Reilly ffs. You have had heard much worse, you’ll make it through.
This camera man sucks! Instead of him getting the footage of the damage from the actual FOOTPRINT of the tornado, he gets mostly outskirts damage and the nearly untouched home Depot and a Chick-fil-A. It took 10 mins into the video until he got significant direct footage of EF5 damage 🙄🙄
God worked this place over.
Yeah the one that loves and protects... LOL
God took a hard fucking to Moore that day 😬
😂😂😂😂 this is awesome!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Look at all these mobile homes and not one of them destroyed.
Yeah cause you're flying 5 miles off the damage path....
Not to mention there’s some missing. You can see where they used to be. Don’t know what happened for sure there, maybe they left before.
Legit. You can see the scar where the tornado really hit. This would be like the outer most edge of the cloud. They're trying to get landmarks and I get that but still
Yes, I kept asking myself why are they flying south of the main damage path the whole time? You can see the main path of the tornado way to the north of where they're flying. They were only getting a good view of the business/homes, etc.. on that were affected by the southern edge of the tornado. Such a weird and unexplainable observation of the damage path. Very bad flying.
@@BLACK05GO1 If they fly direct over the middle we would not see any of the worst part they have to film out of the sides.
i realize I am quite randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online?
Its breathtaking to see the layers of destruction. Houses go from untouched to damaged to flattened to just flat out gone.
5:00 and 5:18 the whole neighborhood is gone that’s at least a half mile of obliteration
Tornados can kill! Jesus saves sinners!
You can see how it got bigger along it’s path. Goes from just a a block wide to taking out whole neighborhoods! I’ll stick to blizzards in Denver. I lived in Bolivar, MO for a few years and hated tornados (and we never had anything big come through just a couple glorified dust devils.)
Pity cameraman didn’t know what they were meant to film. The scar across Moore was the clue.
Yeah what was going on here? Someone made a joke about their favorite restaurant being spared? Not in good taste my man. Wait to do that on stage.
Next time, they need to take an expert on board. This is a waste of taxpayer dollars. They should have positioned the chopper above the path and followed the ground scour. And these are the folks who are the first line of defense in a disaster? We're all in trouble!
@@martimasters7704 seriously!
@@myflatlineconstruct Tbf might be a way to cope in that situation
The only people that would brush aside such a situation like the one that occurred in more would be people that have seen a lot of death like soldiers etc
@@myflatlineconstruct Pilots have Gallows Humor so
Too much focus on the outer edge of the damage, this aerial view sucks
Looks like he’s flying on where the edge of the tornado was and not the center
I think the cameraman had more of a fascination with the buildings that were still standing, rather than the ones destroyed.
Perhaps the camera cannot shoot straight down. Plus, shooting at an angle allows the cameraman to show almost the entire width.
This flyover was brought to you but The Home Depot
That Home Depot was the command post for units in the area.

@Jeff House OK Eagle Eye
I love in Moore, I remember this tornado very vividly, I watched it destroy part of the Warren Theater less than a mile from my house, you can see the theater at 8:19. 9:01 this is my neighborhood, half was completely destroyed. Just watching this video I'm terrified, and it's 1000 times worse in person. The sight, you can see all the debris as building and trees are ripped out of the ground. And the sound. The sound is almost as bad
I’ve watched many a video but can’t imagine the absolute horror of seeing that monster that up close and personal destroying your city and community. Two EF-5 tornadoes in 14 years is heartbreaking but y’all always come back stronger. I hope and pray the good people of Moore never ever see one of these again.
@@2224jrock thanks. I was only 6 at the time but it was definitely scary, we saw the tornado ripping up the Warren and we went into the closet and hid under a mattress. Unfortunately this is what we deal with like ving in the tornado central of the world. However, Moore looks better than it ever has. Every tornado we rebuild and come back better. A year or two ago we had a massive ice storm, it destroyed like every tree.
Insurance companies: ima head out
The fact that people continue to rebuild that city after it’s destroyed every few years blows me away
I think the gulf coast is more at risk overall with hurricanes than OKC is with tornados but yeah. Cheap land/housing in OKC.
Why? Every single square inch on America is able to get Tornadoes except Death Valley. You're not going to destroy a region just because nature came in and worked it.
I see what you did there.
@@Seriona1 so is many parts of Europe, no place is truly safe from nature's wrath, that is snow, hurricanes flooding drought and any other weather phenomenon

If your “god” existed, then he chose to take 24 lives during this tornado - including that of children.
I remember this day like the back of my Mf hand, it’s was to crazy! let’s just say our car got flooded and we drove over a tree.
Wow that brown streak of the most intense scrubbing really indicates the path of greatest damage
@7:32 looks like mother nature dragged that red truck forward. That's force
I noticed a couple deep groove marks where it looked like things were dragged a while..... crazy AF!!
10:43 There is NOTHING left of those poor people's homes except their drives!! So sad that 10 children including three babies under a year old were all killed. Two little sister's aged 7 months and 4yrs old were ripped from their momma's arms by the 210mph winds, their house destroyed. How do you rebuild your life after something like that?? God bless them 🙏🏻 ❤️ 😔😢
Not good
"How do you rebuild your life after something like that?" good question
"The Chick-Fil-A looks good! My favorite restaurant." Tragic devastation but that made me laugh.
you can see the Moore warren theater is relatively unscathed while Moore medical center beside it is severely damaged this is before it crossed I-35 and it started narrow a lot with still a EF4 center at the time
Yeah I lived right next to the theater medical center, the theater has some decent damage but it didn't compare to the damage the medical center took
I was there working for Home Depot but I came from a nearby Texas city, this blackhawk was carrying a HD regional manager. When it landed she came to the store. That's who the pilot is speaking to when he says ma'am etc
It's hard to watch, but thank you for posting it helps me come to terms with what happened and the other destruction plus my loss...my little sister was one of the children lost at Plaza Towers Elementary
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m from the Netherlands so tornado’s like this.. we never see. It breaks my heart to see the destruction and to hear the stories from survivors or people who knew people who died.
Now reading that one of those children was your little sister… 😢 I’m sooo sorry.
I’m so sorry to hear that.
I’m so sorry, that is devastating to lose a family member in such a deadly way. God bless.
I like in the beginning where it says a 17 mile journey. Maybe a 5 mile journey and 3x around it!
People who still live in OKC have some balls. 2 EF5s in 15 years, plus 2 other insane ones just outside of town.
Can this guy film the ACTUAL path, not the shit around it?
Even when the Andover, Kansas F5 tornado happened on April 26, 1991 most houses in Kansas still had basements. That tornado killed 17 people with 13 of them coming from the trailer park. Most people from the trailer park got into underground shelter. Nobody died in a frame house as intense as the damage was. If most or all of these well-built houses in Andover had been on a slab of concrete the death toll may have exceeded 50-100+ lives. How only 24 people died in this tornado and considering it was the same intensity as Andover is amazing. Also this tornado was 3 times wider than the Andover tornado.
Yes, it was wider but less power. This tornado is an F4 only
@@Firemarioflower It was an EF5
@@Firemarioflower it was an F/EF5

3rd EF-5 in 15 years. There were more shelters.

I44 Speedway
You can really see exactly where the tornado intensified over that one particular section of neighborhood. Rows upon rows of house just flattened.
I wish nobody had to ever go through these horrible storms.
It really is true…tornados are both completely unfair and entirely indiscriminate. Some houses with minor damage, some swept away completely…all within the path of the same tornado.
That was a terrifying day...😞
That brown spot on ground was tornado extact path
Dang ripped them to shreds
Yes it did my house was destroyed luckily I wasn't there I was chasing this storm keeping track of it but the family was there in the Tornado Shelter
I was there when that tornado happened and also I was only four!!
I saw a lot of Moore and a little bit of the tornado path.
I still dont understand how it didnt take the theater
This is what the tornado that hit western ky a couple weeks ago did to Dawson Springs KY, maybe even worse at times. Thats where i grew up. Its over 70% *gone* , no exaggeration. Luckily it missed my town by a hair. But the NWS, they rated in an EF4, but I swear I 100% believe it was hands down an EF5, over a mile wide at times. It was partially ripping storm shelters out of the ground, tearing the ceilings away from basements, turning brick buildings into nothing, and it tossed a train engine off the track almost 50 yards, and into someone's home. Ef4 my ass
Cant speak to the buildings, but the train engine wouldn’t be enough. 2,000,000 pound oil derrick being thrown like in the 2011 El Reno tornado is what it takes to be EF5
It would have been rated an ef5 if that was the case cause what you are explaining is a high end ef5 with 260mph+ winds. And it has to be well built buildings to get ef5
@@protipskiptoendofvideoandr286 eh. It was rated an EF4 but what I explained legitimately the damage that it produced. For a fact. It mostly went over rural fields btw. The NWS has been lowballing tornado ratings since the "enhanced" scale came about
@@amuricat2932 nobody knows "what it takes" to be an ef5 anymore lol not even the NWS. The NWS lowballs ratings all the time thanks to the "enhanced" scale and the insane requirements it takes. 200+ mph monsters touch down and gets rated lower because they only hit a field.
Nws doesn’t rate tornadoes ef5 anymore . They only go up to 4 . The ef5 is a myth that will never be done again . They’re entirely way to picky about it and if a tornado with winds of 300 like el Reno are in s field with nothing to damage they have no chance
Why are they flying so far from the main damage path? Wtf
Its crazy to look at those houses. One is perfectly fine but the house behind it is completely leveled.
Warren Theatres barely dodged the tornado. Saw the Karate Kid remake there in 2010. Bowled at the destroyed bowling alley after.
12:05 tall brown stone house is a champ
I hate that fucking tornado it took out my school and I was there and I was terrified and took out my brothers daycare while he was there 😢
From seeing this it was bad yes but it didn't wipe out the entire city or area .The news photos made it look a lot worse like nothing was left of the city at all.
Same with my hometown Joplin,MO.
Stfu. people died.
You can see where it was on the ground just spinning and scouring everything in its path.
God this is one of the most frustrating damage flyovers I’ve seen. Up to a mile away from the actual path most of the time, no zoom, always panned too far down looking at the outskirts of the most significant damage. What was even the point?
I love it when chatter was about the mobile homes and not one of them was destroyed. Well duh.
I get it that everyone wants a nice big mcmansion of a house but... why pay for overly cheap built house in a subdivision when 70 to 90 thousand and a tornado shelter gives you shelter and protection in tornado alley? You can haul the old one out and put a new one in in tornado alley in about 2 months. How long does it take to build an overpriced house in a subdivision with stipulations? All these safe rooms/shelters? You see the houses in the aftermath, right? Put your shelter away from the home not in it.
9:42 peak strength on the houses at the top of the neighborhood
I just brought a house in that town and now I have beachfront gardens
I never knew how Swampy Oklahoma is.
I’ll never figure out why the NWS actually seems to be scared to say a tornado has winds more than “210mph”. Radar doesn’t lie, and it was picking up wind speeds far stronger than that! Remember mobile doppler clocked the Bridge Creek tornado at approx 316mph!
Huh? The NWS is not afraid to say that. Where are you getting this from? Per the NWS, an EF5 rating requires winds of 200mph and greater (which this tornado was rated as).
13:50 why didn't the nws survey this row of slabbed homes with little/no debris left?
How do you know they didn’t? The field assessment teams follow the track during their investigation, documenting the damage and strength of the tornado along the way.
The constant, very dramatic shifts in the wind speeds in a single tornado are even more clearly shown here by the areas that have been stripped of all vegetation, including the grass, down to the bare dirt.
Nagasaki and Hiroshima, that's similar destructive power to what this tornado did here, very sad 😭😭.. ....9 years later to the day and still nothing as bad in America as far as tornado compare to this ...
