@@Sj430 They STILL get the two mixed up...I think alotta folks think there was only the one 2.6 mile ...originally rated E-F5 and SHOULDA REMAINED rated so in my humble opinion... twister from El Reno Oklahoma and they get confused ...especially when talking about the ratings...which ..I suppose is why 2011 is considered forgotten...got to admit...I knew about 2013 El Reno for along time before discovering ..quite by chance 2011..as a separate event while reading squabbling threads about the two storms...😵
My family lived through this tornado and lost everything. Their homes were completely gone and they lost almost every possession. Luckily no one in my family died although I had an uncle who was flung by the tornado and broke his hip. Almost was a lot worse though as the high school graduation had occurred hours before this beast hit and the high school took EF4 level damage. Crazy that this tornado is forgotten now as it was over a mile wide and had winds over 200 miles per hour took out 280 homes and 22 businesses and killed 9 people, some who were sucked out of their storm shelters by the tornado. Btw the footage starting at 4:36 was actually captured by my family at the party for my cousins graduation :)
The second EF5... and the one everyone remembers for that harrowing camera of a house getting shredded as it barrels into it... Every F5/EF5 tornado is a landmarker in history... shame there isn't more footage of this beast. The Parkersburg Tornado was a monster.
There is a couple of theories of why this EF5 is forgotten about, one; it's not the first of its kind, that belongs to Greensburg, and two; many of the residents of this town made the choice to keep the town as a small town, and not change it after the rebuilding process.
An enigma of a tornado it truly was. The damage produced by this monster is on par with those of the 2011 EF5s easily and amongst the most extreme ever recorded in a tornado. The tornado itself was also menacing. You have a monster-sized HP supercell. However, despite the parent storm being an HP supercell, the tornado was highly photogenic and visible in the most horrifying way imaginable.
I love that lady and the rest of the folks for jumping immediately into action and getting everyone into shelter so fast once they realized the situation. The sounds were terrifying and they really made it in the nick of time.
I have family that lives in the town just west of Parkersburg. I am extremely happy that Aplington didn’t get hit, but I’m very sorry to the ones that did.
Some friends and myself were traveling east on US 20 through Iowa that day on our motorcycles. We stopped in Parkersburg for lunch and gas, before continuing on our way. I remember the humidity and winds picking up as we resumed our trip.Later that night,in our hotel room,we turned on the TV to check the weather for the next day. We were shocked to see the friendly town that we had stopped in destroyed a couple hours after we had left it . I think of those people, and wonder if the convenience store owners,or the people who served us food made out. Enjoy the time that you've been blessed with.... because you don't know if you're going to be able to 15 minutes from now
This is awesome as there aren't many Parkersburg videos out there. I wish were more ppl around for Greensburg to tape and wish that one was day time and would missed the town
I’m not from the Parkersburg area my High-school Graduation was the same day and my reception was the same day as well I’ll never forget it. I remember Adam Fredrick on KIMT News channel 3 saying people in Parkersburg need to take shelter immediately. The Tornado sirens were going off in Plymouth. And we had Quarter Sized hail.
I lived in Eldora IA like half an hour away from Parkersburg when that thing hit. We drove through a couple days after and the whole town was just piles of sticks and bricks. It got absolutely demolished. Most of the town got leveled and what didnt get leveled got flooded. We also had a freak hail storm in our town i think the same year. Softball size hail destroyed every roof, window, and vinyl siding in the town. We had no warning and some people were hospitalized with broken arms and legs because they were caught outside. Maybe it was 09 i cant remember.
You're face to face to one of the most absolutey destructive forced of nature this planet could ever throw at you, one of the most destructive tornadoes to ever touch down on this planet earth, and you exclaim "holy balls"
I was at the campground in Elkader on this day with family. The sky was green, the air felt so charged it was almost making me vomit. We left Elkader and headed south to go home to Cedar Rapids. We ended up detouring into rural Strawberry point to my wife parents house to go to their basement. We then continued south and were met with another tornado south of Lamont Iowa on highway 187. It was an awesomely horrible day
I drove west on 20 heading back from a friends house and wondering why the humidity and winds were picking up, I remember it being strangely dark at noon, I got back to Fort Dodge before it developed and then saw the news. The devastation it looked like a bomb went off and took out 3/4 of the town.
At 4:36 this is the path that the vortex would take. The road is the old US 20 alignment and the vortex more or less traveled right down this road. In 5 minuets virtually everything you see here will be destroyed. I was here the following Friday and was disorented because ALL landmaks were gone.

could you show the links of the joplin tornado that you made
I don't understand why you don't have more subscribers, your compilations are fantastic! Please do more of the inside a tornado videos!
One of the “Forgotten EF-5s.”
Joplin and the Moore tornadoes and especially El Reno 2013 tornado are way over talked about and over shadow many other events
Another forgotten EF5 is the el Reno tornado that happened on may 24th 2011. It gets overshadowed by the Joplin tornado.
@@Sj430And mixed up continuously with El Reno 2013...
@@brettrobinson2901 that's why I have to say the El Reno tornado from 2011 not the 2013 El Reno tornado.

Second EF5, 52nd F5/EF5 out of 59, and it was the first one to occur in Iowa since Jordan on June 13th, 1976. Actually, 47 years ago today!
I was an 8 year old kid in western Ames when the Jordan tornado passed right to the west of us. There was an anticyclonic F3 tornado as well.
Has Des Moines ever been hit by a tornado?
@@bdunk914 not too long ago yeah
@@bdunk914 recently yes.

I wanna know more about Bupkis.
First like first view I watch all your videos man thanks for all the work you put into them seriously
That is one of the scariest looking tornadoes I’ve ever seen.
It’s insane that this EF-5 destroyed a concrete basement
That's what scares me about this particular tornado, I feel like I should at least be safe in a basement but this one took that certainty away
The video of the people taking shelter really shows you don’t have much time to take cover

Great videos. Could you do the Wichita Falls, TX tornado of 1979?
I can
Can you PLEASE do the Rowlett - Garland, Texas EF4 of December 26, 2015?
Creepy tornado. Crossed over the PGBT and tossed cars like nothing.

Can you please do Fairdale synced version next?
I grew up in Waterloo. How can one tell which way it is going when it is so huge?

I love the “Daaad” from the girl in the beginning. Like he’s supposed to stop the tornado or something. Lol
Like he planted the tornado there 🤣 “thats not funny!”
Please tell me all the people in these videos lived
9 people died in this tornado.
That thing was huge.😮😮😮
1.2 miles wide, if anyone's curious.
The "holy balls" at 2:47 got me ngl 😅

Dayud, there's a tornado over there dontcha know.
"Ya darn tootin!"

Hi there can you do a video el Reno 2.6 mile wide 😊
Makes the Joplin tornado look small in comparison. This thing was well over a mile wide.
I drove west on 20 heading back from a friends house and wondering why the humidity and winds were picking up, I remember it being strangely dark at noon, I got back to Fort Dodge before it developed and then saw the news. The devastation it looked like a bomb went off and took out 3/4 of the town.
@@scholasticperspectives2779 The National Weather Service damage path map shows that this tornado got up to 2 miles wide just North of Cedar Falls.
At 4:36 this is the path that the vortex would take. The road is the old US 20 alignment and the vortex more or less traveled right down this road. In 5 minuets virtually everything you see here will be destroyed. I was here the following Friday and was disorented because ALL landmaks were gone.
This tornado is different you can tell it started out strong look at the early formation crazy how much this twister was ready to get down with iowa
"We better close the door" yea that'll save ya from an EF5 😅
In the garage???? Bring g your dog inside!!
Those poor kids are scared! 😢
People got sucked out of their basements from this. I hope these pple were ok
2007 05.02 TORNADO F5 БУДЕТЕ СНИМАТЬ ИЛИ НЕТ
THAT THING IS MASSIVE. HUGE. OMG. THOSE PURE PEOPLE. I KNOW IT'S IN THE PAST. BUT I JUMP UP AND DOWN YELLING RUN.......
Omg.😮 house gone in seconds.
Some of these were first time seeing for me. It was a very large , very bad looking tornado that bears a lot of resemblance to 4 /27 /11 Ala.
damn..

Another video to consider adding to the playlist. Very close video of the tornado
Thanks, I have never seen that video before!
@@rainy_saturday Glad to help you! Your footage found is very entertaining and good to watch!
Terrifying
hoping it stays away from those people.
Of course you hear the kid say mom I don't have my cell phone. Seconds later they aren't thinking of that cell phone anymore..
Dad! Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!
Oops!!
Rainy Saturday! If you wanna make another "inside a tornado compilation" here is a good video to use! ruclips.net/video/ZbWy8NTMoC4/видео.html
