    When I was 10 I was obsessed with tornadoes. This tornado and the Joplin one have always stayed with me for some reason, those two are unforgettable. I can’t believe it’s already been 10 years since this tornado happened.

We've seen several, uh, multiple vortices trying to form and rotate around the storm... uh, this thing has definitely gotten stronger, and picked up in both size and intensity."

One in particular 'must see footage' from storm chaser Jeff Piotrowski...following his 'up close footage' experience makes one feel they were there themselves experiencing this spine tingling chill! I am a Joplin EF5 survivor! God bless those 161 who lost their lives and their families left with nothing but memories...may God send them peace of acceptance of 10th anniversary...from the bottom of my ❤ may you all RIP

      Not only that, but storm chasing in cities is very difficult & potentially extra-dangerous (due to road closures, impassible roads due to flooding & debris, traffic congestion & gridlock, and panicky drivers). Anyone who is an inexperienced chaser could lose their bearings or not see the tornado coming because their view is blocked by trees, buildings & signs, they could get caught in the path of a tornado & discover that they have no escape route or the route they anticipated could be bocked, they could misjudge the speed of the tornado & have it catch up to them, or they could be hit by the huge amount of debris created as a tornado obliterates residential & industrial areas. There are some very experienced & talented storm chasers who avoid chasing in urban environments at all costs.

    I was in that tornado, I lost one of my legs due to the tornado. at the time I was in kindergarten. My teacher was teaching us math when it started hailing and raining as hard as I could remember. Of course, None of the kids could focus on math because of the weather. So the teacher let us take a break, And so ALL of the kids ran over to the window to see how bad the weather was. Then the teacher saw a tornado formed cloud and panicked. With the teacher panicked, It scared some of the kids. That's when the room speaker turned on, The principal said there was a tornado coming. That's when ALL of the kids were panicked and started crying. And the teacher took us out to the hallway and we did what we were told. That's when the tornado was coming at US and it was SO close that we were told to go into the bathroom. Every teacher made sure every child was in the bathroom. But it was so crowed getting into the bathroom. I was in the back of the crowd, And all the kids were running even faster as the tornado got closer. I was a slow runner, And I tripped on a peace of paper. I was ALMOST to the bathroom, I got up and started running again when a window hit my leg and cut it open. I also got a big chunk of glass stuck in my leg. One of the remaining crying teachers panicked and came to pick me up and bring me to another part of the school where other kids wouldn't see me, And so I would have more room. Instead of being crowded by TONS of kids with glass in my LEG. I went outside of the school, With one of the teachers. She ran away from the school and tornado. It wasn't far from the school, But far so to the point where the tornado couldn't reach us. The teacher put me on the side of the road looking at my leg. I was screaming crying of the pain. Like after 20 minutes, The teacher that it should be safe to go back to the school. Everyone was outside crying and were doing prayers. On the way to the school, I could see my moms car. I was on the road, Not hit at all. And I saw my mom crying, And that's when I yelled out to her. She ran over to me, And went to go grab me when she saw my leg...She was terrified! She gently picked me up and put me in the car in a comfortable way. She ran over to the teacher and thanked her, Hugging the teacher. My mom asked to go get my sister and bring her to us, My mom wanted to stay with me. And the teacher did so. A few minutes later the teacher came back with my sister.. The car door was open, And she saw my leg. She burst into tears. The teacher also came back with some clean rags and towels, To wipe the blood off of me. After that, My mom rushed me to the hospital. I had to go into surgery right away to get the glass out. But docters realized that it cracked my bone in half and the bone was fully apart and had a big gap between each other. The docter removed my leg. I was in the hospital for a MONTH, Cause the doctors had to figure out if me doing well with no leg was going to help. I no longer go to that school, That was actually my last day going to that school.

And I always used to get out but that day i felt lazy so me and some other friends stayed in the bus! I remember my friend marisol saying' there is tornado watch' so I asked ' what is that? And she said that a tornado might come or maybe no' so we went back to school ' lunch break!! And that day they were selling ice cones and I wanted one but I didn't. So in my 5th hour my esl teacher was in his computer and I came over and said' u want to read it? And I said yes! So that letter was a alert from national weather :( and i remember I was drawing and my crazy friend kept saying ' I hope it hit us it would be fun. Then I remember in 6th hour I went to my special ed teacher and I was like '' are we leaving home? And she said yes: but because of the traffic wtf? And then the loud speaker came on and my secretary mrs curly said " teachers when 2:30 comes take roll and release students: but since I wrote the special ed bus i was lucky to get home '' so I remember when I got to the bus the whole sky was yellow: the outside of okc so I kept thinking this ' if the yellow comes to central Oklahoma we are going to get hit! Thank god no!!!! So I got home and the first thing I was going to do was going to sleep because i was scared so my mom was like " where is that? And I said well its new castle!!! And she answered ' call your dad to see where he is at!! And I called my dads friend and I was like' hey where are you at its because theres an opportunity for tornado. he answer ' don't be scared watch television'' and so I did!!! And then I hunged up and something told me ' u have to be brave and watch the news! So I did and I remember my mom was next to me sleeping and every time I would say ' mom is that how tornadoes form? And would stay' yeah it like its forming from the ground to the sky. and I was so surprised this was my first time I watched something traumatic on tv! Then I went to my room and I stayed there for about 20 minutes and when I got to the living room I saw all the damage. and I was shocked!!! Thats is my story!

      This tornado moved over some denser developments in Moore and destroyed more property, but took fewer lives due to a shorter overall track and 13 years of preparedness. 1999 had higher peak wind speeds, comparable only to the 2013 El Reno tornado 11 days after this one (300+ mph). Both tornadoes were rated F5 or EF5.

    • @austinmccoy9743

      Less severe in terms of wind and max damage, and less deadly for the reasons already states, but more destructive due to a wider path.

      99 was a badder tornado. This one is bad, but 99 was a record breaker. If I can ever find the one video I saw, this guy filmed it from his yard from far away and it was the largest I’ve ever seen on a video. I know el Reno takes that record but it looked absolutely insane. If I find it I’ll come back.

    Don't discount early formations of huge wedge tornadoes like this! Skip to the actual tornado itself, but if you live in tornado alley you do yourself a grave disservice by doing this. Unstable, stormy, tornadic weather behaves unpredictably enough. Huge wedge tornadoes are devastating. Please just watch from start to finish and don't be foolish to skip around!!!

    • @derekbaker3279
      @derekbaker3279 7 лет назад +15

      Because many news networks will use videos without asking permission or paying for rights & members of the general public will steal videos and show them on their YT channel without permission or compensation. In both cases, the network/person is making money with someone else's property (the video). In some cases, the video could even end up being used in a documentary or movie. This can mean thousands of dollars of lost revenue for the person who captured the video.
      (BTW, there are media brokers out there who specialize in promoting/distributing weather videos to the news networks & collecting fair royalties/fees for the videographer. Even a short video of flooding/hail/severe winds/tornadoes can bring in a tidy sum of money. Unfortunately, most people just give the news networks their video for free, when these networks can easily afford to pay a fair fee for limited broadcast rights.)
      I hope this helps...

      Because the trash that works for RUclips won't copyright strike big name mainstream "news" outlets like CNN or ABC when they steal content or play music without permission while copyright striking small creators for things they actually own. Since RUclips is not a moral company, this creator has to cover his rear legally and explicitly state that his videos may not be reused without permission.

    So the may 3rd tornado had the strongest documented winds on earth. Yet the El Reno tornado was downgraded from EF5 to EF3. The Fujita Scale is fundamentally flawed.. And it's ignorant to assume that the May 3rd tornado was a one-off.. The December 10th 2021 tornado was EF 5 easily and many other tornados that were categorized by a flawed scale.. I'm actually just really grateful to those who are passionate about tornados and risk their lives to get them on tape.

      @@djamo1969 likely around the time and shortly after hitting the Orr family farm. The construction quality of the buildings hit could only warrant EF4 damage but it did several wicked things during that time like launching a 10 ton propane tank over half a mile through the air, scorching the ground pretty deep and leveling businesses in that area. A water tank hit the first elementary schools roof, bending the metal. A lot of storms are strong enough to warrant EF5 damage but don't hit the structures to support it so get a lower rating (example: the monster El Reno tornado)

      At 29:56, the video is taken from S Pennsylvania Ave about 1/2 mile north of Indian Hills Rd. The tornado is clearly still west of Pennsylvania Ave, so it could not possibly have been hitting Orr Family Farm at that point. It would travel another mile to Western Ave before striking Orr.

      That was a factual statement until 2022.. So now it's Hurricanes, Storm Surge, and Tornadoes... I lost my home, in which I was raised and where I raised my daughters thanks in part to Hurricane Laura snapping the 4-5ft diameter pine trees on the east side of my property of which 7 of them used my roof and walls as a landing pad.. then hit by another cat 3 Storm a month later, then a blizzard like snowstorm with lightening and a foot of snow that fell within 4hrs and super-cooled the air to a temperature I never thought I'd ever witness nor experience here I'm Southwestern Louisiana as an 8°F low for 3 consecutive nights... I've never would have imagined what 165mph winds looked liked but I promise you Laura's eyewall was indeed such and it literally wiped everything out. It was or might has well been classified as a 12 Mike wide 155-175 high end EF3 tornado.. I hope and pray that Louisiana is spared from another landfalling storm in 2022. The economy and infrastructures can't handle another direct hit from a Laura/Ida class Storm. The weather patterns here in Louisiana have definitely changed in the last 10 years and there's really no longer and predictability when it comes to what we'll face from season to season anymore.
