The car video is so gut wrenching, you can tell it’s a kid filming in the back seat with maybe another sibling next to em, and mom and dad up front. That deafening noise from the wind blowing through the mic after a window or several were blown out, the muffled frantic screaming and yelling mixed in, and then the mom breaking down at the very end. Everyone in the car must’ve thought they were gonna die in those seconds. Really chilling.
I mean, most people weren't concerned about filming a tornado at night that could barely be seen. A rathee dangerous situation already made even more dangerous that they could barely see it coming. I'd be more focused on trying to get to cover and finding out where it is over filming it in this case.
@@tabortoothtiger7580 You got that right, nighttime tornadoes are one of the most dangerous types, the only saving grace with this one, was the fact that it wasn't rain wrapped. There are a few storm chasers that got it, but Rainy Saturday can't use it, because its copywritten protected, he could only if he ask permission from them.
I think Tim Marhsall stated without a doubt that it was at EF5 intensity a few times. Notably, he said it was Mayfield and Bremen. In the past 10 years since Moore, damage surveyors and meteorologists stated that many notable EF3-EF4 tornadoes were at EF5 intensity, but it was due to the quality of construction. Notable tornadoes that they said reached EF5 strength at some point in their lives: Obviously this one, El Reno 2013, Mayflower-Vilonia 2014, Rochelle 2015, and earlier this year in Rolling Fork. I'm not a fan of how they sound the sirens in Dixie Alley with hi-lo over and over again, it should be steady tone like in Oklahoma City.
This tornado apparently dug trenches and pits a foot deep or more into the hard Kentucky soil multiple times throughout it's life. If it were rated like how Philadelphia-Kemper County was during the Super Outbreak, it would've certainly received an EF5 rating. The EF Scale needs more DIs based on natural objects like soil and vegetation.
I've heard a few times that they're less willing to give ef5 ratings because it should only be given when it's the absolute most damage that it could possibly cause. Not saying it's 100% accurate or the right way to go about it, just what I heard. And I think the different tones in sirens are to account for the wide variety of hearing abilities and circumstances that may prevent certain tones from being heard properly. For example, a lot of older people can't hear higher tones as well or at all, and if you're in a shelter underground, certain tones will be more difficult to hear. So they just play a wide range of tones to ensure it's heard.
@@deathbloom27 There are a lot of people with 'conspiracy theorist' mindsets who believe that EF-scale ratings are politically motivated, influenced by insurance companies, etc., etc., etc....however, this is not the case. The people who observe, analyze & rate the damage are highly-trained structural engineers, meteorologist, and others who approach the rating process like proper scientists, i.e. no conclusions are drawn unless there is unambiguous corroborating evidence, 'feelings'/'personal opinions' do not matter, only evidence matters, and the damage observed must be put into context (...with the quality of manufacture of materials, the quality of construction of structures, the age of buildings, etc., taken into account..). Whenever you hear people offering their opinion regarding the EF-rating of a tornado, ask them what evidence they have & what experience they have with analyzing all the factors that go into rating tornado damage on the EF-scale.
@BOS37631 Tim may have said that he was sure that this tornado was at EF-5 intensity at some point(s) during its life cycle (..and I also suspect the same...), but even if Tim felt it probably was that intense at some point(s), he still would not have given it an EF-5 rating if he was part of the NWS damage assessment team. Why? Because the EF-scale is a DAMAGE rating scale, not a tornado intensity/strength scale. The only thing that matters when rating a tornado on the EF-scale is the evidence observed, on the ground, in the damage path...and the only 'admissible evidence' is the damage observed & the characteristics of the objects that were damaged. FYI, Doppler radar does not matter, visual impressions (e.g. horizontal vortices, updraft speed, sound, etc.) do not matter, nor do any other measured characteristics of the tornado. So, IF the damage observed, the quality of construction of man-made structures, etc conclusively point to EF-5 indicators as defined by the NWS, then the tornado will receive an EF-5 damage level rating. If the damage observed, quality of construction, etc does not match up with the indicators of EF-5 level damage, then the rating will not be EF-5 level damage. It's as simple as that. Finally, once the damage level rating (EF-scale) which has been determined by the NWS damage assessment team(s), then - and only then - can we infer the minimum wind speeds that could have produced the damage observed. Any discussion re the strength/intensity of the tornado which does not thoroughly & properly reference observed damage is an opinion & nothing more.
There was a found DI but never recorded by the NWS, but someone looking at the damage from the Damage Assessment Toolkit of a 226MPH damage indicator from the Rochelle Fairdale EF4.
Oh my gosh, I have watched hundreds of tornado videos. I've never seen anything like your amazing compilations. This one actually scared me. The videos where you can only see the tornado in the lightning were terrifying. You earned a subscriber. Thanks for these. I wonder if the family in the car was OK?
It is arguably an EF5 giving some of the damage indicators in Cayce, Mayfield, and especially Bremen in particular having most extreme damage from a Tornado only seen from the Super Outbreak of 2011. The issue is the low quality construction in Kentucky and in many states that has homes that can't stand up to 100mph winds.
It dug trenches and pits a foot deep or more into the ground. The problem is that the EF Scale doesn't have enough DIs, and doesn't even have high-end DIs for things like ground scouring; otherwise this would've been rated an EF5 based on ground scouring like the Philadelphia-Kemper County, MS EF5 from the 2011 Super Outbreak.
Nothing more frightening than a thunderstorm and tornadoes in the night in Kentucky. I remember them all so well growing up there as a kid. I moved away where there isn't any. That was years ago
There's no question in my mind there were, at minimum, at least a few brief periods of time this thing barely eclipsed the EF-5 threshold along its entire journey.
I know it is the last thought any one in the path of a tornado especially one like this has on their minds and it wouldn't make a lot of sense if if it they did but it is so helpful when people keep camera on phone or whatever rolling even when sheltering in pitch black darkness. There's so much to learn just by listening. I noticed how the tornado was getting louder as it approached by there was another even louder sound like a wind gust periodically. I'm thinking satellite tornado circling main rotation. If anyone knows I'd appreciate a comment. If you are driving and the weather is getting exponentially worse stop. I'd rather be sitting in the path not knowing than driving into Hell. If possible turn around and try to go in a direction of lessening weather if possible. Thanks again to all that made this possible. God bless you all.

mayfield was so unbelievably loud, seismometers on the LBL south of the tornado were literally picking up the rumble from miles away
Crazy how little videos are out there of this one. Thanks for putting this together homie

I think that the clip starting at 4:23 is the creepiest with the sirens and the size of the tornado
It gave me chills when I saw it on the news

This Tornado a Halloween horror story occurring before Christmas. A nightmare scenario most Meteologist wouldn't have thought of.
Literally every met in the OH Valley did lol. The entire severe wx community was hollering from the rooftops about this threat a full week in advance

Hello! I just subscribed! Love your videos. And Great work putting these compilations together!
0:50 chilling as fuck
Undoubtedly so.
A TORNADO!!!! DURING CHRISTMAS?????? WTH??!!!
The legend themself has returned!
wow Super Powerful Tornados i live in the Southwest in San Diego CA and we don't get this kind of weather out here in California at all.
That lightning and thunderclap at 8:31 holy shit.
aaAAAMN
Where is 5:00, ya'll?
Hey man a Torndo happed in TN
Just in time for peak second season. Wonder if this November will be as active as the last.
There's no question in my mind there were, at minimum, at least a few brief periods of time this thing barely eclipsed the EF-5 threshold along its entire journey.
At long last, Rainy_Saturday has posted.
I started chasing because of this night. The BG tor passed just a few miles north of me and I've kicked myself ever since for not going after it
Do the EF3 that went through Sanford and Raleigh on April 16, 2011
The nightmare before christmas.
I remember that horrible night....
👍👍👍👍
