Damage Analysis LIVE: Mayfield, KY EF4 Tornado
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- On the night of December 10th, 2021, the city of Mayfield and many more surrounding communities were impacted by a significant tornado that was on the ground for over 3 hours and tracked for 160 miles. This is an in depth engineering analysis of the damage of one of the most impactful tornadoes on record.

It’s crazy how this we did the case study today almost 2 years ago and there was also a “outbreak” today with similarish tornadoes like the one that night
It was crazy as heck tracking it all the way through. I thought it was just going to be Slayden that was stronger than a ton of QLCS action. Then we got the other three not to mention in Raleigh Mississippi and another TDS in Clopton Alabama
@@samuelraytheweirdcontentgu8551Raleigh just got another tornado a few hours ago.
The Clarksville and Hendersonville tornadoes were considerably smaller, and - in all likelihood - considerably weaker than the 4-5 strongest tornadoes that happened December 10th, 2021. I'm guessing both will receive solid mid-range EF3 ratings, with ~145 - 155 mph max winds.
Can you imagine if the 1.5 mile wide (at its widest) Mayfield tornado went through Clarksville or the Madison/Hendersonville/Gallatin area with 180 - 190 mph winds? It would've easily topped Joplin's death toll, probably by 100+.
Fascinating video! I was leaving from band practice when I got caught up in this outside of mayfield. Pretty sure I was on the outer edge of it and it rolled me quite a distance. it left me in pretty bad condition. I will say if there was any positive from my close call I would say it’s sparked a fascination and interest in tornados. Its led me to be more vigilant.
The town I live in has horribly build structures and not a day goes by where either worry about one hitting us. However knowledge is power and your breakdowns have really helped me understand these tornadoes. You’re doing great work!
Lastly you touching on the injury aspect… You and Carley touch on this and I can’t thank you enough. I suffered severe head trauma from my experience and I will have lasting effects from it for the rest of my life. I have a very hard time working a full time job because of it. The migraines are debilitating at times. But I’ve learned to move on with it and live with it. But my quality of life has definitely diminished. So thank you for touching on the injuries
Wonderful video, Ethan! I hope you had fun making this video! I hope you have a great night! God bless you!💗 Stay safe and healthy! I will always keep you in my prayers!
Great break down. I'm not one to give the nws grief on thier ratings. That said, my problem is with the EF scale and how subjective some of the criteria that goes into it as you said. It also skews ratings on tornadoes that don't hit populated areas. That's bad for the science IMO. We don't have to get rid of EF scale, but we need another scale that's based on concrete measurable data with the tornado and storm in focus and not the things around it. The two scales can coexist just fine.
We had a construction crew staying on the north side of Mayfield during the storm. They woke up to the town being gone. Groceries and fuel were hard to come by for a few days. Most of the town ended just down the road in the local landfill.
Awesome video, I was heartbroken to miss it live, it's tough living down under :P I would really love to see you calculate the wind velocity required to pick up the Bremen house and its foundation - even if you are making assumptions I think the process would be fascinating and I'm dying to see the velocity you come up with :D
What about Morgantown
Agreed. People always like to argue whats an ef5 and whats not etc etc but all that matters honestly is that people died!!! Many! Theres not really any difference in a very high end ef4 vs an ef5
I'm curious and I'm no engineer so I may have missed this entirely but do you feel like the sudden change in air pressure may play a part in the buckling?, I could only imagine that there's an applied force onto a structure not just generated by wind but by drop in general pressure as well. Wanna know your thoughts on this.
That pressure gradient is what is ultimately causing the intense winds in the first place. Both are very related :)
Great insight, thank you 🌪🌪
Yeah todays forecast wasnt expected to be like it turned out! My aunt lost her house in Clarksville and im waiting to hear from my friend in northern davidson county. im so scared for her. My anxiety is sky high rn
Do you know if there’s funding or budget from SPC/NWS/NOAA/etc based on storm strength? I have heard that district offices get more funding with bigger storms, outbreaks etc but never seen it in writing, although it makes a lot of sense with some
of the ratings as of late. Never in history of EF were they looking so closely at the building codes, etc or there’s just no way some of the lower end EF5 would have made it. It’s trash to set higher standards today than they used to be, and they have. The building materials today are different too, not necessarily better or worse but the codes are most certainly a higher standard…
How is it trash to set higher standards now than then?? They did because now there is more known now in respect to how wind effects buildings etc. also alot of the stronger tornadoes that are argued to be ef5 hit in very rural areas like especially el reno 2013, and there's not a way really for them to rate those that hit nothing hardly. Anyway they're making a new f scale that's said to be out at the LATEST in 2028 and it will have things in there for rural areas as well as will take in account damage indicators as well as mobile radar velocities
@@peachxtaehyung because the scale is no longer valid. You can’t say “these are the parameters to fit variables into different categories: xyz”, then tomorrow change the parameters that classify xyz, yet maintain the same scale.
It’s inconsistent nonsense. The scale is supposed to be scientific- so either go back and recategorize the previous variables according to the new standard, and/or create new categories, or a new scale altogether; but you don’t get to just march onward as if nothing changed.
That isn’t science, and it causes the ratings to lose their meaning and become increasingly subjective and malleable over time, which is a breeding ground for corruption (like every other govt agency). This leads to a loss of public trust/lack of credibility, and eventually, to the collapse of the institution. That’s trash!
@@BenPat88 It's heavily outdated and in need of revision. Many NWS experts agree that the current EF scale is trash and thankfully it will be revised. The current EF scale in the world of meteorology is like the serotonin deficiency theory in psychiatry. The tool has not kept up with the ever-growing science and evidence of the respective field. The NWS was able to get creative and consider several variables when rating the Philadelphia MS EF5, the Joplin EF5 (even though this did produce "traditional EF5" damage to 22 well homes that were slabbed clean with the presence of wind-rowed debris despite the highly flawed article that concluded Joplin had no EF5 damage), and the Piedmont El-Reno EF5. They should have been allowed to continue using calculations and remaining creative to rate the tornadoes, it allows the NWS surveyors and engineers to actually use what they have spent years studying and preparing for to the test. The EF toolkit is too limited and dated.
Manhattan Kansas was hit by an EF on June 11th, 2008. It was part of the June 3-11 outbreak. Some of my family lived there and I went up a couple of weeks later to see them. It wasn’t pretty.
Technically when you take air and force it between those poles on a water tower you get a tunnel effect which makes a greater wind speed it sort of like taking air and pushing it between skyscrapers the airspeed between skyscrapers is going to be much stronger than if you were in an open area
Can you do a video on the kennedale-arlington Texas tornado of april 2012? I was ALMOST hit and led me to being terrified of them
The March 28, 2000 Ft Worth Tornado that dropped that tornado that went down I-20 in Arlington barely missed us. That made me terrified of them as well, except now I am more fascinated of the weather rather than afraid of the tornadoes the older I get.
I live here and i lost everything just had a front porch left on my house. I have been struggling i just now got new apartment, but i still have many things to replace ill get ill mkae it there though. RIP Devin the candle factory is pieces of shit for not letting people leave or telling them they are fired if they do.
