The 2013 El Reno EF5 tornado remains by far the widest tornado ever recorded at almost 2.5 miles wide. It was so large it didn't even look like a typical tornado, just an anvil-shaped mass of angry brown clouds scraping the ground from a distance. It also has the second place record for highest wind speeds ever recorded on Earth at 313 MPH, with only the 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore tornado (also an F5, also a wedge tornado and also occuring in Oklahoma) having faster recorded wind speeds at 321 MPH.
@@SonnySolentLover it was rated at EF3 because it did relatively little damage, but its wind speeds were at EF5 levels and the second highest ever recorded on Earth
This video is slightly misleading, The Enhanced Fujita scale isn’t a size measurement of the tornado but a measurement of the damage caused by a tornado.
True enough. though the size of a tornado correlates with the power/destructive force of a tornado. Thus as the EF score grows, so does the general size of the twister.
It's not misleading. You're focused on size because that's what the rendering shows us, but they clearly included speed and destructiveness alongside size in the category criteria.
I was hit by an ef4 tornado in 2014. It was the day of the twins. Broke an arm and scraped my knee. i got very lucky. But to all those who perished and the loved ones of them. I'm sorry for your loss.

@@Firemarioflower Why did you go around attempting to correct people with a different scale, even such as this one, where they were actually present for it? What kind of prick are you, like really? Do you have friends or are you too much of an ass?
Any loss of life is sad, butbit really is amazing that the death toll of the El Reno Tornado was in the single digits considering it's size and how long it lasted.
Also El Reno was a multivortex one. Which means tehre were several vorticities swirling around the main one, thus considerably increasing the tornado power and makes it unpredictable. Most of the strongest tornadoes ever were Multivortex. Greenfield tornado this year was a good example.
Just watching the tri state tornado after watching the twisters movie... Incredible to see a tornado slightly smaller than the El Reno, but managed to stay strong traveling for 20 times the distance... (16.2 miles to 219!) Both EF5, but one managed to last much longer, kill far more, and do even more damage.
Very good job based on what? This information isn't correct. Tornadoes can be any size and any raining. Their size is not an indicator of their rating in any way. This video is literally useless
Interesting peek into various sizes of these windstorms. Also RIP to the poor people wearing headphones the music is extremely loud. Even on the lowest setting for my headset it was still too loud
Jupiters red spot is 10,159 miles, or 16349325 meters, or 53639520 feet which makes jupiters spot roughly 3800 times bigger than el reno. Fucking behemoth tornado tho ill give it that, id be shittin bricks
really enjoyed this video! the visuals were amazing and helped illustrate the differences in tornado sizes. personally, I think it’s crazy how some people still underestimate the power of smaller tornadoes. they can cause just as much damage, and it seems like folks often focus only on the big ones. anyone else feel that way?
this video is really impressive, i love the graphics and the way you explained the different sizes! however, i kinda wonder if there’s more to tornadoes than just their size. like, isn’t the damage they cause more about wind speed and the area they hit? just a thought, but it might spark some interesting discussions!
Not an expert but even just reading educated comments (even the know-it-all ones) + watching a video on El Reno 20 min ago, pretty sure you’re completely correct. W/o any real research, uh the … fujita? (EYY FAJITAS!) system was updated to “Advanced Fujita System” and it categorizes tornados by destruction and damage, not just size or speed. Which categorizes this one as EF3? I think. A quick google search telling me it’s EF3 but smart ppl correct me where I’m wrong lol
@@AnnaMaria-st8uj Yep, you're right! Tornados are rated on the EF scale (used to be just the Fujita Scale but is now Enhanced Fujita Scale), from EF0 - EF5, based on the level of damage. The size of the tornado is not considered for its rating. Wind speed measurements can come into it, but it seems like experts are more interested in the damage specifically, which is why El Reno was an EF3 - not enough damage. It killed multiple people - including the Twistex team, who were professional storm-chasers - but fatalities aren't counted as "damage", unfortunately. Anyway, there is my tornado info-dump for the day. 😄
@@madelinebell5046 Thanks! Informative comments are always appreciated, and that is interesting how they don't consider casualties damage. I can sorta see the logic behind it, but also kind of not.

Or is it less strategic and more scientific? What prompted the change?

Tornado chasing is my dream job I’m 13 and I do it with my friends and I actually spotted one starting and touching down in our town before anyone else did😅
I wound up inside the 2013 el reno tornado. Was in mustang and helped neighbors get in their shelters who were elderly and decided to go straight west bc we were south of it and it took a turn south lol. Was an awesome experience
The strongest tornado was the *tri state tornado* it was stronger than the *El Rano* tornado its was the largest and longest tornado in U.S history it happend YEARS before I was born I scares me even tho I wasn't there my mom was in a tornado in 2011 in an outbreak she's was with 3 kids not hers and she had to be in a tornado a *mile* wide 💀 She lived thx to my dad 👍
tri state tornado was probably not the strongest tornado in history however it was still one of the most deady if not the most deady, forgot its exact death toll. Many of those deaths however were because infastructure wasnt as good back then and many people did not even know what a tornado was, even for those that did they got no warning and did not know what to do to protect themselves. Still a super powerful tornado though.
things about this that are incorrect 1. Tornadoes are measured by width, not height. 2. The EF rating is based on damage caused not size, this is the reason the EL Reno tornado was rated an EF3 despite being the biggest tornado ever recorded.

I’ve been through some pretty bad twisters before. Once i was just little, during a wedding. I was just young but we were in a horrible EF3, we’re talking wind around 35-40 MPH baseball sized hail (of witch my father got struck by on the head) and this was just across the road. Semi trucks were tossed like a toddler with cars. And when we got out of the car, we ran so fast and I was protected with my favorite blanket at the time “the feel better blankie” we used it for sickness or just for comfort and I remember not really understanding what was happening it was so much at once. Finally we reached our room and it ended. My moms car was destroyed. And I don’t think much if not any people died. That’s only one of many of my stories.
My wife was pregnant with our first son. We lived on the projected path, and after dealing with the moore F5 just prior I wasn't taking any chances. We got in the car and got the hell out of there...
There were also some significantly damaging tornadoes that also should be talked about as well: Bridge Creek / Moore, OK (May 3, 1999) Joplin, MO (May 22, 2011) Tri-State Tornado (March 18, 1925) Moore, OK (2013)
Really enjoyed this 3D tornado size comparison! It's fascinating to see how they can vary. That said, I wonder if the visuals might downplay just how destructive they really are. people often take nature's power for granted just because we see it in a cool graphic. What do you all think?
@@The_Joshuan_Empire(well the El Reno 2013 tornado was about 200 baseball yards size so maybe I could of been) this is me about 1.5 years later I think, idk what I was talking about 200 baseball yards tbh, it was 2.6 miles wide that's a lot easier I don't even think knew how big 200 baseball yards was at the time lol, I think I just heard someone say that or smth idk.
great video! the visual comparison really brings the scale of tornadoes to life. however, I can’t help but wonder if focusing so much on size might downplay the devastating impact they have on communities. size isn’t everything, right?

@@vilmostavaszi7978 El Reno is a city in the state of Oklahoma. The capital of Oklahoma State is Oklahoma City. In other words, indeed the largest tornado ever based on the records has been recorded in Oklahoma state.
I have lived in Moore Oklahoma all my life we had just had the devastating May 20th tornado like a week prior to the El Reno storm with a lot of fatalities and the storm system was moving due East till it got over moore and it completely switched directions and headed due south it was horrifying and the weather men were telling people to go to Moore to get away from it if you’re from Oklahoma you know you never go to Moore during a tornado.
El Reno, that width, with those wind speeds, EF3 was determined only because of where it was and the miraculously small amount of damage is did compared to what it couldve potentially have done if it were anywhere else more populated...El Reno area of its funnel (5.31 mi^2), area of central park is about 1.25 mi^2, FOUR central parks could fit inside the area of the El Reno Tornado at its maximum width....💀💀💀
the wider the base is doesnt mean its taller, the el reno tornado was short, despite being so wide, whilst being 2,6 miles wide (4.1km), its height was only around 750m, and some other tornado was way taller, ie 2010 campo tornado, one of the most photogenic tornado is 1.1 miles(1.7km) tall, around the height of two burj khalifa and more than twice the height of el reno
@@topgun1457 Eh nowadays ef5 are rare, so I bet it would be an ef5, moslty because it was not the Most powerful tornado, that was in 1999 that happened to be the second biggest. And if I remember correctly that was through a town or city.
@@topgun1457 i think for an ef6 to be called it would have to be something incredibly dangerous as ef5 is already seen as the limit currently, yes 2013 el reno was huge and very powerful however it did not have the fastest wind speeds on earth, and while absolutely massive, it was not within the realm of wiping a large city completely off the map. if an ef6 were to ever be made and given out i think it would have to be a tornado with wind speeds high enough to wipe out storm shelters along with the tornado being big enough to wipe a large city completely off the map.
Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear your son is enjoying the video. Unfortunately we had to change the music. However, at some point we are going to remake the video with enhanced graphics and new music. Hopefully we will get the music right on that one :) Stay tuned!
not in this video, it looks stupid and nothing like the actual storm. if you watch actual el reno 2013 tornado vids, it'll take you a lot of time to see how scary it was from all the angles captured. watch dan robinsons escape video to truly see how massive it was, its so big you cant even see the end on the screen
You have no idea -- it was terrifying in person. It wasn't surprising to me to find out that storm chasers were killed by that thing because I had a hellish experience with it myself. It isn't typical for storm chasers to get caught by tornadoes but this thing was unprecedented.
I’m sure this has been stated already many times I didn’t look. Tornados are categorized by the damage they produce and a higher EF rating doesn’t mean a more powerful tornado. There have been very powerful tornados that only garnered an EF 2 or 3 rating because no urban environments or suburban areas were hit. Only farmland or uninhabited areas. There have been relatively weak tornados that have gotten EF3 ratings because of the populated areas in which they hit. Hurricanes are classified according to wind speed tornados are not. However much of the time an EF3-5 will almost always be a significant tornado with very high wind speeds. Because the way the destruction is calculated takes a specific force and subsequently a specific known windowed to accomplish. An EF1 tornado simply won’t be able to wipe a house (modern coded structure) off its foundation like it was never there. Nor do they possess the wind speed capable of stripping trees completely bare of their bark. So in a very large way, the EF scale does have quite a bit to do with wind speed. It is just not directly applied. Mostly because no one has accurate readings from within the core of these violent high wind speed tornados. So we simply don’t know.
I like learning about tornadoes and storms like the cappuccino sees. They looks like cappuccino and also why is it in the ocean? did you learn about tornadoes??????🤷🏻♀️💃🏻
You compare some of these like they're a guaranteed size. EF ratings are applicable to damage after, not based on the diameter of the tornado. Apologies, but I can't take this video seriously.
That ending was very fitting for the El Reno tornado and gave me chills as someone that was there and survived that thing.
Wow. I couldn’t even look at the tornadoes head on in this video. They’ve always petrified me yet I’m fascinated by them.

Well actually the fire whirl did very sufficient and devastating damage to Tokyo and yet it was pretty small

Really enjoyed this 3D tornado size comparison! It's fascinating to see how they can vary. That said, I wonder if the visuals might downplay just how destructive they really are. people often take nature's power for granted just because we see it in a cool graphic. What do you all think?
Storm chasers: Let’s chase this tornado
El Reno: *nah I’m chasing you*
Good lord was El Reno really that large? I knew it was wide but I didn't think it was that tall compared to the Moore 2013 EF5.
How could you not think it was tall? 🤨 It’s literally a giant cloud from thousands of feet in the sky extending all the way to the ground…
I think their program makes them taller the wider they are
@@The_Joshuan_Empire(well the El Reno 2013 tornado was about 200 baseball yards size so maybe I could of been) this is me about 1.5 years later I think, idk what I was talking about 200 baseball yards tbh, it was 2.6 miles wide that's a lot easier I don't even think knew how big 200 baseball yards was at the time lol, I think I just heard someone say that or smth idk.
It wasn’t that big
@@firevsice5656 so 2.6 miles?
as an arizonan, I can definitely tell you most dust devils aren’t as big as shown
they’re usually as tall as a small tree and as wide as a 2 seat car
Why is the EF2 EF3 EF4 EF5 and the 2013 El Reno EF3 tornado hourglass tornadoes
That one boat be like: *why are we still here,just to suffer*
That beat is 🔥
In Czech, was tornado EF4
*F3

They say the one that hit Joplin, MO. A few years ago was bigger than an E5, it shifted their new hospital a few inches on its foundation
those tornados are so big it can damage thousands or millons of people
great video! the visual comparison really brings the scale of tornadoes to life. however, I can’t help but wonder if focusing so much on size might downplay the devastating impact they have on communities. size isn’t everything, right?
You are completely right!
Jupiter: hold my 95 moons.
why do i want to all of a sudden jump into the el rano tornado i think it would be fun to fly let me equip my parachute first once launched activate the chute
I was in the el Reno and I pray for all the people who lost loved ones and it was a very hard time
Did you get any injuries?
How about "dead man walking" tornado?
Tornado 💀
The boat 🐐
ypu should have use the dead man walking for an example for the EF5 tornado to
Nah theres no way ef1 tornadoes are smaller then dust devils
The scariest part of a tornado is the debris in my opinion. You can’t see anything and a truck could hit you going 200mph
That’s an unrealistic EF5. Usually, they’re wedge-shaped because they’re a mile wide or close.
Yooo that's a wedge tornado at the end
2013 El Reno was insane the first tornado to kill storm chasers and biggest one!
Oh Yes… The El Reno Tornado… The Largest Tornado Recorded… In… In… Oklahoma
oklohoma is noot bigger than the el renno oklohoma was 2000meters the el reno 4200meters
@@vilmostavaszi7978 El Reno is a city in the state of Oklahoma. The capital of Oklahoma State is Oklahoma City. In other words, indeed the largest tornado ever based on the records has been recorded in Oklahoma state.
me watching all the tornadoes eat the boat 😵💫😰
yall hold on what the fuck is a FIRE WHIRL?!?
I have lived in Moore Oklahoma all my life we had just had the devastating May 20th tornado like a week prior to the El Reno storm with a lot of fatalities and the storm system was moving due East till it got over moore and it completely switched directions and headed due south it was horrifying and the weather men were telling people to go to Moore to get away from it if you’re from Oklahoma you know you never go to Moore during a tornado.
El Reno, that width, with those wind speeds, EF3 was determined only because of where it was and the miraculously small amount of damage is did compared to what it couldve potentially have done if it were anywhere else more populated...El Reno area of its funnel (5.31 mi^2), area of central park is about 1.25 mi^2, FOUR central parks could fit inside the area of the El Reno Tornado at its maximum width....💀💀💀
the wider the base is doesnt mean its taller, the el reno tornado was short, despite being so wide, whilst being 2,6 miles wide (4.1km), its height was only around 750m, and some other tornado was way taller, ie 2010 campo tornado, one of the most photogenic tornado is 1.1 miles(1.7km) tall, around the height of two burj khalifa and more than twice the height of el reno
Bro im confused how is Ef-5 320km and in videos of chasers it looks very slow
It's about the speed a wind .
Dude At The End 💀💀💀
Where was the wedge tornado?
Great video!
fun fact the 2013 el reno tornado was an just an ef4 tornado becuase it ripped though farm land, which resulted in less damage than anticipated
if the 2013 el reno hit a city people would have used it as a call for there to be a ef6 rating
@@topgun1457 Eh nowadays ef5 are rare, so I bet it would be an ef5, moslty because it was not the Most powerful tornado, that was in 1999 that happened to be the second biggest. And if I remember correctly that was through a town or city.
@@topgun1457an ef6 is physically impossible, as stated by Ted jujitsu himself.
@@topgun1457 i think for an ef6 to be called it would have to be something incredibly dangerous as ef5 is already seen as the limit currently, yes 2013 el reno was huge and very powerful however it did not have the fastest wind speeds on earth, and while absolutely massive, it was not within the realm of wiping a large city completely off the map. if an ef6 were to ever be made and given out i think it would have to be a tornado with wind speeds high enough to wipe out storm shelters along with the tornado being big enough to wipe a large city completely off the map.
Imagine if a fire whirl was the size of the EL Reno tornado
Are the tortillas spinning in the correct directions? I thought it was almost always counter clockwise
Edit: *tornados
Stop saying it’s not about size y’all the title says size comparison
it's more that it says "ef5 tornado" despite the fact that an ef5 can be any size, and thst applies to every tornado in the video."
Hi! My son loves this video, but the music has changed. Would you have the video with the original song?
Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear your son is enjoying the video. Unfortunately we had to change the music. However, at some point we are going to remake the video with enhanced graphics and new music. Hopefully we will get the music right on that one :) Stay tuned!
the last tornado could be considered an EF6 💀💀💀
Rest in peace Tim samaras
I've never heard of a steam devil.
The last one coming somehow scared me
I've read somewhere Cyclone tornado is the deadliest
Your forgot to mention EF 5 can also pick up cows and humans and make them super man for the duration
This was terrifying
El Reno, damn that's scary
not in this video, it looks stupid and nothing like the actual storm. if you watch actual el reno 2013 tornado vids, it'll take you a lot of time to see how scary it was from all the angles captured. watch dan robinsons escape video to truly see how massive it was, its so big you cant even see the end on the screen
You have no idea -- it was terrifying in person. It wasn't surprising to me to find out that storm chasers were killed by that thing because I had a hellish experience with it myself. It isn't typical for storm chasers to get caught by tornadoes but this thing was unprecedented.
it was even worse because it wasn't fully condensed. you literally couldn't see most of it.
Why are computer generated tornadoes always spinning clockwise? Are these southern hemisphere tornadoes?
I’m sure this has been stated already many times I didn’t look. Tornados are categorized by the damage they produce and a higher EF rating doesn’t mean a more powerful tornado. There have been very powerful tornados that only garnered an EF 2 or 3 rating because no urban environments or suburban areas were hit. Only farmland or uninhabited areas. There have been relatively weak tornados that have gotten EF3 ratings because of the populated areas in which they hit. Hurricanes are classified according to wind speed tornados are not. However much of the time an EF3-5 will almost always be a significant tornado with very high wind speeds. Because the way the destruction is calculated takes a specific force and subsequently a specific known windowed to accomplish. An EF1 tornado simply won’t be able to wipe a house (modern coded structure) off its foundation like it was never there. Nor do they possess the wind speed capable of stripping trees completely bare of their bark. So in a very large way, the EF scale does have quite a bit to do with wind speed. It is just not directly applied. Mostly because no one has accurate readings from within the core of these violent high wind speed tornados. So we simply don’t know.
Average ef5 tornado is the deadliest and the fastest tornado ever 💀💀💀
I like learning about tornadoes and storms like the cappuccino sees. They looks like cappuccino and also why is it in the ocean? did you learn about tornadoes??????🤷🏻♀️💃🏻
Jupiter's tornado: am i a joke to you?
FACT CHECK:
There is no average size or shape for any rating of tornadoes. Any tornado shape can in fact be any rating on the EF scale.
the ef scale is outdated as it looks 90% at the damage done not by the size of the tornado
@@topgun1457the size shouldn't be a part of the ranking process.
man why are the tornadoes getting taller?
You compare some of these like they're a guaranteed size. EF ratings are applicable to damage after, not based on the diameter of the tornado. Apologies, but I can't take this video seriously.
They're rotating the wrong way, they should be rotating counter clockwise!
It actually depends on the location. In the southern hemisphere most tornadoes rotate clockwise.
Have you ever heard of a anticyclonic tornado
SOLAR TORNADOOOOO
Dumb
@@Vippy-y6texcept none of the tornadoes here were anticyclonic.
SÓ AMEI O VÍDEO ❤
tornados are not always as wide as they are tall bro
8 deaths that's surprising for a tornado that big
