Useless fact - In Robot Wars there is a robot named Tornado and on the underside of the robot there is a picture of a cow, paying direct homage to that scene in Twister with the flying cow.
Imagine having your house and street ruined by a tornado and upon exiting your bunker you see an untouched pound cake sitting there on your admittedly still in good nick counter top. Best that was the best damn slice of cake that family ever had. A little bit of light in the darkness!
The Pilger Nebraska tornadoes were wild. Seeing twin ef-4 tornadoes moving in a parallel path for a solid distance, then setting the unofficial land speed record at 90+ miles per hour..I'd call that pretty rare.
One unique tornado event was the Palm Sunday outbreak, where there were at least 4 instances of violent tornadoes (F3 and higher) being described as "twin funnel" tornadoes.
As morbid an event a tornado is, that pound cake photo is pure comedy to me. Tornado: *absurd wind speeds, rips house roof off* Pound Cake: "Oh, you're approaching me?" Tornado: *leaves* I personally find that the rarest thing I've seen this video. Alongsode the curtain into the ceiling.
I remember reading an article about an anticyclonic tornado that hit a Wisconsin town in 1981. What was rare about it was its strength (F4) and that it formed from a weakening thunderstorm. It remains the strongest anticyclonic tornado to date.
Plainfield was not anticyclonic. To date, there have been no anticyclonic tornadoes rated F5, although many F5 tornadoes have had anticylonic satellites.
I've seen wood through concrete after the 2013 Moore tornado. People who don't think it's possible should do some tornado cleanup work and see for themselves.
I'm a little surprised the 1997 Jarrell, Tx tornado wasn't mentioned. In addition to it's southwest path, it also had an incredibly slow speed, clocking in at around 10mph (approximately 16kmph). It also has the infamous dead man walking photo
Not to mention the other catastrophic phenomena along with it Cows pincushioned by hay, some cows blow to bits by debris, others skeletonized via getting blasted with sand
It’s amazing how selective a tornado’s damage can be. Speaking from personal experience, in 2010 I survived an EF2 tornado while on vacation at a lake resort. Close to the lake, where the tornado’s path crossed, there was a small field that geese liked to congregate at, so to discourage them they put a bunch of plastic coyotes around the field. When the tornado hit, it removed all but two of the coyotes. One of them was perfectly untouched, while the other had its legs, tail and ears removed but was still in the ground! A lot of people thought it was hilarious and got their picture taken with that 2nd coyote. I think I might have a picture with it myself actually.
Although it happened in a remote area and no pictures of it exist to my knowledge, an F4 tornado tore through parts of southern Yellowstone National Park in July of 1987, crossing the continental divide and crossing 10,000' mountains.
That's a very interesting case. Ted Fujita did a report on the Yellowstone-Teton tornado and remarked on the difficulty of doing a ground assessment of the damage due to the ruggedness of the area
@@64BBernard that's right. I was 7 years old at the time and living some 80 miles to the northeast in Cody. I do remember the weather right around that time being unusually chilly and stormy but never knew about that twister until 30 years later !
Great video! - I personally would have added the Pilger twin event and/or the 1997 Jarrell event where the F5 practically stopped over Double Creek estates. Another interesting event would be the 1984 Ivanovo Soviet Union outbreak, including the controversial F4/F5 tornado
The curtains through the crack in the ceiling was likely caused by the roof being partially lifted for a moment and the curtains being sucked out, then the roof being set back down. Doesn't change how crazy it is, might make it even crazier.
Love me some weird tornado damage. My dad and grandparents lived through "The Night the Sirens Blew", aka, the May 6th 1965 Twin Cities outbreak. The roof was lifted off of the house, moved over two inches and gently set back down again. There was no other damage aside from individual blades of grass embedded into their tree like porcupine quills. My grandparents kept all of the insurance paperwork that ensued after the nonsense w/ the roof.
I have a friend who lost his house in the 2013 Moore tornado. It was completely leveled, except for a table with his perfectly fine wifi router, play station, and battery backup. Even crazier, sitting on top of the play station was a Magic deck--specifically an Angel deck--that was untouched, not a card out of place. Thankfully he and his family were fine, and he still has the deck kept in a case exactly as it was when it was miraculously spared.
I live at the foot of the Appalachian mountains in PA. We had an F1 tornado come through my town last Saturday, which was the first time I experienced such a thing. Thankfully no one was hurt, but some weird things happened. It ripped some of the plants out of their pots and flung the pots to God-knows-where while leaving the potless plants on my porch. It also selectively tore off all the leaves from my African violet but left my hanging plants alone somehow. It eviscerated my dog's canopy, while leaving my greenhouse cover (which wasn't even tied to it or attached in any way) intact. All while blowing down the giant oak tree next to our power line and literally none of the other trees in our yard.
To give two non American Examples: Another interesting Case of something sticking in a Wall after a Tornado would be a secateurs sticking in a Wall, with its handle first, after the Paderborn or Lippstadt Tornado (both F2) in Germany in 2022. The exact same Asperagus Field in Kandel, SW Germany, was struck by Tornadoes twice almost exact one year apart. On 26th April 2022 a confirmed F0 moved over it from WNW to ESE. On 21st April 2023 a plausible F0 (a Gustnado cannot be ruled out) moved over it from SE to NW.
the Hesston-Goessel tornado event also deserves a mentio here, as its the only time two F5 tornadoes were on the ground at the same time from the same storm, and their merge is also incredibly rare
6:57 This reminds me how we had a Tennessee tornado and my papa owned a store, which was before I was born, around time where people could barely get accurate information on tornadoes, and their store was completely torn, but everything on the shelves stayed in the same place
A tornado hit my grandpas house, 1 exterior wall gone, half the roof gone, threw the tractor, destroyed the barn and threw his still a couple miles away. He had this glass candy dish full of candy in the room where the wall fell, the little cloth thing he had underneath the dish was gone but the dish and most of the candy was still there.
I've read that the Joplin Tornado of 2011 was an extremely rare type of tornado that you might not see again in several lifetimes. The Joplin Tornado was an EF-5 tornado. So that automatically puts that tornado in a very rare category to begin with. However, it's the way that the Joplin Tornado formed that made it such an extremely rare event. It was the way two supercells collided with each other in a very unusual way that made the Joplin Tornado such a rare occurrence.
Come on. Don’t watch these Videos if You Cannot believe Things outside your tiny, itty Bitty Brain Can Happen. Just go Skip Somewhere Else. I Pray one day Something So Extraordinary Happens to you and when you Go to tell Your Story NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY BELIEVES YOU AND CALLS YOU INSANE. I 🙏🏼
I live about 30 mins away from Sullivan, in crawford county. The mile was about a mile away from me. It went through stoy, new hebron, killing a couple. It lifted a trailer with 9 people in it. It killed my friends dad. Almost hit the factory that would have been a huge explosion. The photo you show was not in sulivan but when the tornado was at Gordon, about 6 miles east of robinson and a few miles away from hitting palenstien and crossing the wabash River. We can only see the outline of the tornado because at Gordon junction it slamed the county airport. The fire shows the outline of the tornado. It was a devastating tornado and learning about the people that i know who died hurts.
At 9:07, that study was done by Bernard Vonnegut (Von-uh-gut), brother of famous author Kurt Vonnegut. Bernard studied and helped advance the science of cloud seeding, as well as professoring at the University of New York, Albany and obtaining quite a number of patents. Kurt is one of my favorite authors, and until your video, I forgot about his brother performing that tornado chicken plucking study!
Thanks for posting this, it was really cool! Another rare occurrence happened in the Mayfield, Kentucky EF4 tornado when a family hid in the closet of their house. When they came out, the closet was the only thing standing…… and so was their Christmas tree. The Christmas tree still managed to not moved while the rest of the house was swept away.
During the 1974 Super Outbreak the town of Tanner, Alabama was clobbered by an F5 tornado. Half an hour later *another* F5 tornado hit and leveled what was left of the town.
On 1-25-23 west of Bartlesville Oklahoma. It was 32 degrees out north wind 20mph Cold. I saw this cloud wind up into twin tornadoes twisting around each other it had a brilliant sunset behind it. I filmed it touch down and posted it. That's a rare tornado occurrence when you watch one touch down when it's freezing temperatures.
10:37, There was an high-end F2/T5 tornado in Rauris, Austria on AUG 20 1997 in the middle of the alps, on a mountain at an altitude of 2200 meters (7217 Feet)
There was a sign in my town during a tornado that weighed a couple thousand pounds. Ef4 tornado threw it all the way from middle of illinois to outer chicago. Nobody saw it flying or anything. It was just in a empty ish area broken into a thousand pieces. no one has been able to explain it
My grandmother and her sisters told me the story of walking, then running home from school across an open farm field to escape a really ugly low-hanging 'cloud' that turned out to be a descending tornado. This would have been around 1921 in the area of Westin, TX. My grandmother was in front as they ran, but the tornado was closing fast, and hit a nearby tin barn that exploded into the air, slinging a large section of tin at the running girls, mercifully catching them all at an angle and flattening them to the ground. They all had minor injuries, but the town constable who surveyed the damage to the barn and nearby houses claimed that the tin probably shielded them from other flying debris and saved their lives. This was before the Fujita scale, so the tornado's power is anyone's guess, but my grandmother had a photo and a story from the local newspaper of the three girls and the large tin section, which was used to rebuild the barn, which my mother also walked past daily on her way to school in the 1940s and 50s. It was apparently destroyed by another storm in the late 50s, but was never again rebuilt. I guess the whole point of my story was that sometimes (by dumb luck or devine intervention, depending on your point of view) debris carried by the storm can also be your friend.
I remember when we had a tornado pass through our backyard and it launched most of the neighbors fence into our kitchen cabinets, somehow though, the fence pieces were mostly intact and not broken
I always think of the animals trapped by people that have to somehow endure the storm while people can seek shelter. Do not need to watch these reminders....
The Jan 30 2013 Adairsville, Georgia one impacted my family. Hit right across from my dad’s work. He was lucky to have survived it. Whole community was under curfew and devastated by an EF3 in the dead of winter. Unprecedented.
Tornadoes are crazy, seen some damage video where a major tornado had gone through part of a town. Smashed the windows out of a store front, but every single glass vase just inside the store on display tables were left completely untouched and unmoved.
Here's something that I saw while helping to clean up after a tornado. North of Richmond, Kentucky, a kitchen spatula was driven into the trunk of a tree! This happened during a monster F4 tornado that struck in and around Richmond, killing seven, as part of the Super Outbreak of April 3-4, 1974. We didn't have cellphones fifty years ago, but I wish that I had a picture of that spatula to show and post!
So funny you mentioned the 1980 Grand Island tornadoes. We moved there just after that occurred and into a new home but our move in date was later than planned as tornado 1, which was cyclonic, hit our garage and tore the roof off. On the NWS map it’s shown as an F1 there and it’s very close to where it began to dissipate in the Capital Heights neighborhood, which is noted on the NWS map. Fun fact is that they took the debris and the huge pile they had was turned into a hill of sorts. I remember climbing it as a kid when my dad would play softball at the adjacent park.
There's a photo of a National Guardsmen hanging from a 2 x 4 that was stuck in a tree. This comical scene was made possible by the deadliest tornado in United States history the Tri-State Tornado.
I read a book on rare tornado occurrences back when I was a child, maybe some 40 years ago. Some of what I still remember from that book that didn't have something similar mentioned in this video: * A bean was driven straight into an egg without cracking the egg. * A school building was rotated 180 degrees before being dropped back to the ground with no other damage. * A man was dropped into a field butt naked--the twister had stripped him of all his clothing--but with no other injuries. * A tornado that passed over water rained frogs onto the land about a half-mile away. On tornadoes traveling a direction other than the usual SW to NE, the F5 monster that hit Jarrell, Texas, on May 27, 1997, wiping several neighborhoods clean off the map, traveled from NE to SW, the exact opposite of the usual direction. (This tornado also gave us the famous "Dead Man Walking" image someone took of its multiple vortices.)
While tornados near the Rockies are certainly rare, it still can happen. Colorado’s neighbor to the west, Utah, had an F2 blow through Salt Lake City in 1999. If you want another very rare tornado to study, it would be that one!
I heard that a graduation gown had been pierced through a wall in i think joplin. That's an insane thought. Also i think you misspoke when saying the directions tornados typically move. They don't go "North to East," they typically go southwest to northeast.
Grand Island is the probably the most unique tornado family, but the 1955 Blackwood, OK, tornado purportedly glowed blue. As far as I know, it's the only tornado in recorded history to have that feature.
As a survivor of joplin as 2x4 wood piece had pierced the master bedroom wall perfectly wedged between the bottom of my bed and the floor (keep in mind thats about maybe a foot of height)
When that map showed up around @11:12 I found myself yelling "what the hell am I looking at?" before I realized it lol. That path looks like a kid's doodle not a tornado's path lol.
My family was in the Elkhorn tornado this year and the side of my Mom's house was pierced by the metal end of a dog leash. There were many weird objects that punctured things they normally wouldn't.
one extremely rare tornado event that i feel isn’t talked about often is the october 5th-6th, 2010 tornado outbreak that took place in northern arizona of all places. 2 EF3 tornadoes came outta that outbreak. one of them had borderline EF4 winds (165MPH to be exact), as suggested by the 3 transmission towers that got destroyed by the tornado.
I saw a house in Dawson Springs after the 2021 KY tornado lifted off its foundation and sitting in the road with hardly any damage. Literally 60 - 100 feet away multiple slabbed house's and debarked trees.
I’ve noticed a lot of RUclipsrs mentioning June 3rd, 1980 lately. Too bad there isn’t more footage of it. I was 10 when it happened in my hometown, and I’ll never forget it. It was the scariest day of my life- and I was in the one part of town that didn’t get hit. I mentioned on High Risk Chris’s “Strangest Tornado Paths” video that there was a demolished house that only had a refrigerator left in the former kitchen and the only thing that was left in it was a vase with a flower (rose, I think); everything else was sucked out. I remember seeing more than one tractor trailer on S. Locust St. wrapped around light poles, too. That’s what an F4 with estimated winds of 250 MPH will do.

The Pilger Nebraska tornadoes were wild. Seeing twin ef-4 tornadoes moving in a parallel path for a solid distance, then setting the unofficial land speed record at 90+ miles per hour..I'd call that pretty rare.
I was driving through there 15 minutes the tornadoes touched down...
One unique tornado event was the Palm Sunday outbreak, where there were at least 4 instances of violent tornadoes (F3 and higher) being described as "twin funnel" tornadoes.

Hi, I like your channel! :)
I remember reading an article about an anticyclonic tornado that hit a Wisconsin town in 1981. What was rare about it was its strength (F4) and that it formed from a weakening thunderstorm. It remains the strongest anticyclonic tornado to date.
1990 Plainfield F5 is anticyclonic if I remember correctly
Plainfield was not anticyclonic. To date, there have been no anticyclonic tornadoes rated F5, although many F5 tornadoes have had anticylonic satellites.
The Jordan IA F5 had an anti-cyclonic F3 (edited!) satelite also. 6-13-76, Fujita analysis.
It was the 1981 West Bend Tornado. Really unknown tornado.
Jarrell was anticyclonic and an F5
I've seen wood through concrete after the 2013 Moore tornado. People who don't think it's possible should do some tornado cleanup work and see for themselves.
As Ted Fujita said, one of the characteristics of an F5 (EF5) is the amazing phenomena that will be present at the seen.
That truly hurt my head to think about.
Nature is beautiful but DAMN 💀
That's Joplin
@@intimatePNG Joplin too but this person said they saw the same thing after the Moore tornado in 2013
I'm a little surprised the 1997 Jarrell, Tx tornado wasn't mentioned. In addition to it's southwest path, it also had an incredibly slow speed, clocking in at around 10mph (approximately 16kmph). It also has the infamous dead man walking photo
Also the deaths were some of the most horrific ever recorded which I suppose makes it stand out a bit.
the 10 mph speed is also noted in the fargo F5 of 1957
This was a surprise to me. I have never heard of a calamitous event producing more dead than injured. Usually, it's a 3 or more ratio
Not to mention the other catastrophic phenomena along with it

I lit watched twister today, the flying cow was priceless
I remember when we had a tornado pass through our backyard and it launched most of the neighbors fence into our kitchen cabinets, somehow though, the fence pieces were mostly intact and not broken
2:15 That’s how they got the name Rolling Fork… RIP to the victims of that tornado
I always think of the animals trapped by people that have to somehow endure the storm while people can seek shelter. Do not need to watch these reminders....

God: That's it. **photoshop eraser tools your curtains**
The Jan 30 2013 Adairsville, Georgia one impacted my family. Hit right across from my dad’s work. He was lucky to have survived it. Whole community was under curfew and devastated by an EF3 in the dead of winter. Unprecedented.
Night of the Twisters sounds like a movie name. That town was very unlucky to be struck 7 times. Wow.
It IS a movie name. Rather, a "made-for-TV" movie that's based off of a book written by Ivy Ruckman that's based off of this event.
The legend returns!
Thank you for discussing Grand Island!
Tornadoes are crazy, seen some damage video where a major tornado had gone through part of a town. Smashed the windows out of a store front, but every single glass vase just inside the store on display tables were left completely untouched and unmoved.
Here's something that I saw while helping to clean up after a tornado. North of Richmond, Kentucky, a kitchen spatula was driven into the trunk of a tree! This happened during a monster F4 tornado that struck in and around Richmond, killing seven, as part of the Super Outbreak of April 3-4, 1974. We didn't have cellphones fifty years ago, but I wish that I had a picture of that spatula to show and post!
I love your videos man I could give you a million different insane videos that most people dont know about there all in my tornado playlist.
0:17 our house in the middle of the street
Wait it was your house 💀
@@N4S3L its a song
@@-stewie- oh my bad i never heard of it
3:58 I've read in some old book that a wooden beam like that penetrated a sheet of iron about 1 cm thick during the 1896 St. Louis tornado.
Im not sure why, but the small amount of tornados that occur in Canada are so much more beautiful, but scarier looking all at once 🌪
Tornado took "moving houses" to a whole new level
So funny you mentioned the 1980 Grand Island tornadoes. We moved there just after that occurred and into a new home but our move in date was later than planned as tornado 1, which was cyclonic, hit our garage and tore the roof off. On the NWS map it’s shown as an F1 there and it’s very close to where it began to dissipate in the Capital Heights neighborhood, which is noted on the NWS map. Fun fact is that they took the debris and the huge pile they had was turned into a hill of sorts. I remember climbing it as a kid when my dad would play softball at the adjacent park.
Surprised you didn't mention that one tornado that picked up an ENTIRE TRAIN
Mhm
Imagine if a house lands on another house
Just imagine going home and seeing a house fly and land on your house
There's a photo of a National Guardsmen hanging from a 2 x 4 that was stuck in a tree. This comical scene was made possible by the deadliest tornado in United States history the Tri-State Tornado.
I read a book on rare tornado occurrences back when I was a child, maybe some 40 years ago. Some of what I still remember from that book that didn't have something similar mentioned in this video:
* A bean was driven straight into an egg without cracking the egg.
* A school building was rotated 180 degrees before being dropped back to the ground with no other damage.
* A man was dropped into a field butt naked--the twister had stripped him of all his clothing--but with no other injuries.
* A tornado that passed over water rained frogs onto the land about a half-mile away.
On tornadoes traveling a direction other than the usual SW to NE, the F5 monster that hit Jarrell, Texas, on May 27, 1997, wiping several neighborhoods clean off the map, traveled from NE to SW, the exact opposite of the usual direction. (This tornado also gave us the famous "Dead Man Walking" image someone took of its multiple vortices.)
While tornados near the Rockies are certainly rare, it still can happen. Colorado’s neighbor to the west, Utah, had an F2 blow through Salt Lake City in 1999. If you want another very rare tornado to study, it would be that one!
This video is speaking straight facts about tornadoes and speeds and velocity and debris and more importantly violent tornadoes
I heard that a graduation gown had been pierced through a wall in i think joplin. That's an insane thought. Also i think you misspoke when saying the directions tornados typically move. They don't go "North to East," they typically go southwest to northeast.
Grand Island is the probably the most unique tornado family, but the 1955 Blackwood, OK, tornado purportedly glowed blue. As far as I know, it's the only tornado in recorded history to have that feature.
As a survivor of joplin as 2x4 wood piece had pierced the master bedroom wall perfectly wedged between the bottom of my bed and the floor (keep in mind thats about maybe a foot of height)
2013 Reno Oklahoma, largest in history. Missed that one.
0:18 make sure to say thank you to the wizard of oz
When that map showed up around @11:12 I found myself yelling "what the hell am I looking at?" before I realized it lol. That path looks like a kid's doodle not a tornado's path lol.
2:50 since when did scientists became Reddit bots.
I survived a tornado that ripped part of our house off when I was 4. Thank you for sharing!
San Justo stuck an engine in a brick wall
Jarrell threaded a wire through a tree
I fully expected you to say the record landed on a record player and started playing
My family was in the Elkhorn tornado this year and the side of my Mom's house was pierced by the metal end of a dog leash. There were many weird objects that punctured things they normally wouldn't.
That 2x4 plank in the curb is the reason why paper beats rock
After the F3 tornado that hit Casadio, Italy on May 3rd, 2013. A bike was found almost embedded through a wall of someone's home
one extremely rare tornado event that i feel isn’t talked about often is the october 5th-6th, 2010 tornado outbreak that took place in northern arizona of all places. 2 EF3 tornadoes came outta that outbreak. one of them had borderline EF4 winds (165MPH to be exact), as suggested by the 3 transmission towers that got destroyed by the tornado.
There's a world record for being yeeted by a Tornado? Sounds more like a Darwin award to me.
I saw a house in Dawson Springs after the 2021 KY tornado lifted off its foundation and sitting in the road with hardly any damage. Literally 60 - 100 feet away multiple slabbed house's and debarked trees.
I’ve noticed a lot of RUclipsrs mentioning June 3rd, 1980 lately. Too bad there isn’t more footage of it. I was 10 when it happened in my hometown, and I’ll never forget it. It was the scariest day of my life- and I was in the one part of town that didn’t get hit. I mentioned on High Risk Chris’s “Strangest Tornado Paths” video that there was a demolished house that only had a refrigerator left in the former kitchen and the only thing that was left in it was a vase with a flower (rose, I think); everything else was sucked out. I remember seeing more than one tractor trailer on S. Locust St. wrapped around light poles, too. That’s what an F4 with estimated winds of 250 MPH will do.
That 2008 Colorado tornado is the most regular Colorado tornado I’ve ever heard of
Finally someone talked about the Canada tornado
tornado: I am not touching that cake
The cake: HOW AM I ALIVE????
