I’ve gone through 4 myself living in Kansas when I was younger, pretty surreal watching vortexes form above you. I’ll never forget the calm before the storm, it’s like everything is standing still and the entire air around you has a lime green tint. The worst is at night, because you rely on the lightning to spot them. As fast as they travel, it’s often to late by the time you hear it. Be safe out there.
Last year well, now, 2 years ago, there was a tornado and it was night. This might be hard to believe, but I spotted a tornado and saved probably 50+ ppl. My proudest and scariest feat
Pro tip: if the tornado looks like it’s not moving and is just getting bigger, then you might wanna like get away or shelter. Cuz that means it’s coming at you. Stay safe !
yeah just like get away and whatever, if u dont have a bunker just leave the area going opposite of the storm, unless its night then just pray its not ur time
@@gaygemortashed7192 it’s not like that tornados a world wide phenomena, and can happen anywhere as long as the stage is set right. not just in tornado ally. And it called being helpful, but I guess you don’t want to save lives.
Imagine setting up a go-pro attached to a fence and then capturing the formation of a massive tornado *perfectly* in frame. So many chasers must have been so jealous when this first went up on the internet because of how, insane that actually is, for an unmanned camera to just happen to be set up in the PERFECT spot to catch such a beautiful view of the formation of an intense tornado. Almost like the universe rewarded the guy's good sense to just set up go-pro and then get out of dodge.

I lived in Illinois and lived through several tornado sirens during intense storms. But once I saw a funnel cloud form and drop. It was surreal. I can't even put it into words. The way the clouds moved was almost disorienting, creepy. Then I saw the spinning, and when it came down i was amazed how quiet it was at first, I can still remember the way the air felt, it was so weird. It was a small tornado and didn't stay down long at all, but I'll never forget it.
@@lewisfranc2957 The reason is because animals know when a storm is coming and leave the area immediately. Thus no animal noises or bird noises. Next is because the air of hot and cold are mixing perfectly and then the air is so not dense that the wind completely stops. Whenever you are outside during a thunderstorm and hear everything go quiet, no wind, and hear a train like sound, go for cover immediately 😊
I’m just guessing here but I think that feeling in the air is our warning system against stuff like this most other animals are way better at sensing it and would have retreated hours in advance which is why it is so silent
Life long Tornado/Dixie alley resident here. Videos do tornadoes no justice. Yeah it’s impressive to see, but the sounds and feelings you get in one is nuts. It goes from heavy rain, loud thunder, tons of lighting, and high winds to sudden silence. The pressure changes and it hits with hail, rain, and stronger winds than before.
I just moved to Dixie alley. Slidell La and the one we had a few weeks ago hit right up the street from me. Less than a mile away. I was flabbergasted 😲🫢
Do you mind if I ask out of something I’ve always wondered: Why choose living in an area like this if this is the potential risk every single year of your life? Not meant to offend at all, and I don’t mean to ask genetically for a, “Well every place has their weather trade-offs” answer. I mean you specifically on a personal level. Why stay, knowing you could lose your home/life/livelihood in any given, statistically likely annual storm? I wonder the same for people who actively choose to move to / continue living in hurricane-/wildfire-prone areas in the US, so genuinely asking to learn what the rationale is living in such a high-risk area *knowing* the risk. TIA
Most people live in these places because you never think it's going to happen to you. We are all that way no matter where we live. I live in Northern Kentucky so I don't have to worry too much in theory about a large tornado@@snoopdog2593
Totally agree! Tornadoes are like the ultimate mix of freaky and fascinating. 🌪 There’s something so captivating about watching that raw power, even though you know how dangerous they are. It’s like you can’t look away, even when you know you should. Nature’s crazy, right?
Out of all that, I noticed that too. I'm from Nebraska though, so tornadoes aren't that interesting; but a Dutchman swearing in English is noteworthy. I'm an idiot.
I think what makes tornadoes the most spectacular is the fact that you're looking at this humongous thing in the sky. And you can't help being in awe of how huge this thing is and how fast it's spiraling in air like a vacuum cleaner. A tornado is probably the largest animated object you'll ever see
We were driving through Oklahoma on our way to Dallas and stopped at McDonald's for lunch. A storm popped up just as we were loading the three kids in the car. My youngest said he had to use the bathroom. I kinda yelled at him, "why didn't you go while we were still inside? Okay, come on...." I was aggravated at him. We finished and piled back in the car. As we got on the highway, there were 18 wheelers thrown all across the road. There were cars turned sideways in the medium. My husband stopped to see if he could help, and one of the truckdrivers said a tornado had dropped down out of nowhere. If my son hadn't needed to use the bathroom, we would have been right in the middle of it. That is when I learned to take weather seriously.
Also, I had a similar experience as you. Only my daughter couldn’t find something we needed for a trip. If we would’ve left a couple minutes earlier, like I’d planned, we would’ve been in a horrible car accident. From that point on, I learned to Thank God for delays and other things that didn’t allow us to leave on my schedule. ALL Praises🙏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾
@@setapartaay925 I think it shows that there is someone who is looking out for us. Call it fate, call it Karma, call it a higher power, there is no denying that there is something....

Was in junior high school and living near Xenia, Ohio when the massive tornado outbreak on April 3rd, 1974 happened. Dads friend, from Xenia, was at the house getting sod and left early as the sky was getting scary looking. Low boiling clouds with a weird green color were so low it felt like you could touch them. And the absolute quiet and stillness in the air was unnerving. Dads friend got home as the tornado blasted through on the next block. Luckily, his family and home survived, but so many others were not as lucky. I think it still has the highest death count…F5’s are no joke.
I was in the Ohio National Guard at the time and was called up to active duty for 2 weeks because of the Xenia Tornado. It and the aftermath of Hurricane Camille in 1969 were the 2 worst scenes I've ever witnessed in my entire life.
My dad was telling me about that tornado and the next day a tornado touched down a few miles from my house nothing dangerous unless you were outside but still big enough to see we lived in Alexandria Ohio at the time
I live in New Philadelphia, Ohio and my friend said she say one forming above a giant eagle in Dover about like 6 yrs ago when we were in 3rd grade. I've never seen on up close but I to know that a tornado was so close to where I live is crazy
I used to live in Illinois and experienced numerous tornado sirens during severe storms. However, I once witnessed a funnel cloud forming and descending. It felt surreal, beyond words. The way the clouds moved was unsettling, almost eerie. Then I saw the rotation, and as it touched down, I was struck by the initial quietness - I can still recall the peculiar sensation in the air. While it was a brief occurrence and a small tornado, I'll always carry that memory
I've had the fortune of only ever having actually been in one tornado, and it was only like an EF1. Very minor, but I was about eight at the time, so having the sky green and small things flying everywhere and hiding in the bathroom certainly felt terrifying. I can't begin to imagine going through one of those huge, crazy ones.
I've been caught in extremely severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, both, near St. Louis, Missouri. The worst one was a multiple vortex tornado that hit while I was driving on I-44. Every direction I looked I saw tornadoes just dancing all around. They didn't stay down, they would bounce up and down. They were like thin tornadic fingers. I think that is what saved me. Had they stayed on the ground I wouldn't be here today. Imagine looking to your left and seeing a tornado, look to your right and there's a tornado, look in your rear view mirror and you see a tornado and a tornado just hit in front of me and turned semi-trucks over on their sides, took down those huge lane signs over the interstate, debris was everywhere, my car was hit with debris and hail, high winds, heavy rain, and no where to go. I thought this is it - I'm going to die. Only by the grace of God, those tornados dissipated. St. Louis has wicked, wicked, storms. If you visit St. Louis pay serious attention to storm and tornado warnings.
@@sleepingbackbone7581 Thanks! You are correct about the guardian angels. I started getting warnings about events that were going to happen when I was about 19. It doesn't happen very often, but it happens. The first two times I dismissed the warnings thinking that's so silly, why did I just have those thoughts? Then after two of the warnings became reality within a few hours of the warnings I knew the warnings were from God, or an angel God had sent. I apologized to God for ignoring the warnings. I told him, I didn't know it was you and promised to always listen from now on. And over the years I did receive a few more warnings and as promised I listened. One of the times it saved my life, literally! I didn't receive a warning about the tornadoes, but God did save me and I wasn't harmed.
I'll never forget my first tornado. I was like four or five and wanted to see it so I opened the front door. I can still remember my poor mom fighting to close the door against the wind. Where I live hurricanes are more common than tornados but big storms are always an interesting experience. Everything around you has an orange tint to it, or on rare occasions purple. It's such a cool phenomenon, even though it means a bad storm is coming.
Yeah, you see, me and my mom whenever we hear of a tornado, we sit outside and wait and see if we can see it! (We'll get my younger sisters to the safest area in the house first, obviously). One time there was a tornado, I was at a friend's house, she was at Walmart, she wanted to see it but the Walmart people told her that if she went outside, she wouldn't be allowed back in until the storm was over. My stepdad and sister was with her, so she stayed inside. I also wanted to go outside, but I was too busy calming down my now gf and her niece and nephew (she wasn't too freaked about the tornado, but she was having mild flashbacks from 2 she was in and she also tends to overthink, and that's what was mainly freaking her out. But she was calm enough to hide it, but I can read her like a book, so I discreetly comforted her.)
I saw a tornado once when I was a teenager in Oklahoma. The only way I can describe it...it was...a *monster.* At least 200 feet high, dark, moving slowly like it was... *thinking.* Like...it had a purpose. It was like watching something truly evil. The sky around it was yellow, and the SOUND it made...it sounded like...screaming.
Once, I saw a tornado when I was a teenager in Oklahoma. It was inexplicable. A beast, it was. At least 200 feet high, dark, grave… gradually moving like… it had a brain of its own. The dark, swirling monster loomed over us. It was like watching something truly sinister. The sky that surrounded it glowed behind the dark shadow of the tornado. The sound was freaky, as if I could hear screams from inside. I was living a nightmare then. How’s that then! (I just did your comment in my version)
Dude! I remember that! I was in Vermilion that day, out on a little rubber dinghy, trying to wash boats for a company i used to work for. Scared the bejesus outta me.

@@gibbontakeit9098 When was that? Saw a couple out there right after Sandy in 2012; was outside of Fairport - little north of Concord. Excuse me, Kah-kurrd. Waves coming in would've killed anyone who got close.
@@RichardMNixon-zh6uz 2003-ish I think. I was headed into my senior year of high school. My memory might be not quite accurate so you can't quote me on the time line... but I think that's about when it was. Two of them didn't "touch down" so I don't know if they count, but they were fully developed, like, 30/40/50 ft from the water to touching, and wrapping up into the clouds.
I'm glad for the technology that enables me to be able to see this video from the comfort of my apartment here in New Orleans where there are no tornados at this time. Thanx for posting this.
@LeviaRosa I'm fine, thanx for asking. I live in Uptown New Orleans, where all I got was some wind and heavy rain. Spared from the tornadoes. Saw them on news reports, but that's about it.
I live in West Baton Rouge. Kind of odd seeing your comment and knowing you guys just got heavy storms and tornadoes like a week or so ago. Hope you and your family are ok.
I was in the upper 9th when the tornado hit. I thought the same thing and was like “oh well be fine here New Orleans never gets tornadoes frrl”. Nature proved me wrong. Lol. It was so scary knowing how close I was and how destructive the tornado was. We were super super lucky in this area. Glad you’re also okay though. These past few storm systems have been so crazy.
" Do you think you could handle those conditions?" As Ron White said, " It isn't that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing. If you get hit with a Volvo, it doesn't really matter how many situps you did that morning."
"it is not the wind blowing" yeah, for sure, take this example of a small tornado dragging a car like a rag doll : ruclips.net/video/nddkiXuM4Ag/видео.html
Wow, this is seriously one of the most amazing tornado videos I have ever seen! Most of the footage in this video is something I have never seen before, even though I have watched a lot of tornado videos. The voiceover is professional, easy to listen to, and conveys the information clearly. The information shared in the video is extremely informative and interesting. Thank you so much for making such a great video, your work is truly commendable!
Same here I've seen every single tornado video on yt. But I remember these tornados 1st one was pilger Nebraska and 3rd was dodge city Kansas that one is by far the most photogenic monster tornado ever seen
@@TornadoChickWeatherNetwork I watch shit ton of videos on yt and I can say the 4th one around the 13 min mark I've never seen and I seen em all like if u showed a video I be able tellnya the year and city
The tornado that begins here at 12:22 could have been similar to the deadly Tri-State Tornado of March 18, 1925 that killed nearly 700 people in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. While no photographs or film reels of the Tri-State tornado were taken (or at least known to exist), the tornado was frequently described by witnesses as an "amorphous rolling fog" or "boiling clouds on the ground", and fooled normally weather-wise farmers (in addition to people in general) who did not sense the danger until the storm was right upon them. The condensation funnel was also reportedly sometimes wrapped in copious dust and debris, which likely obscured it and made it less recognizable. The parent supercell apparently transitioned to a high-precipitation (HP) variety..... meaning that the tornado was not readily visible as it approached, as it was often shrouded in heavy rain and hail. The very strong Tri-State Tornado at times exhibited an unusual freaky appearance due partially to its size (at one point in Missouri, it was a full mile wide) and the probable low cloud base of its parent thunderstorm.
The Tri-State tornado was very probably in actuality a family of tornadoes....not just one. Supercells cycle and sometimes very quickly. The tornado will lift and the storm cycles itself and drops another tornado a few minutes later.

@@dmp-9734 Eek, the falsification of Sumerian beliefs. The semetic paganism that was ancient compared Judaism, (sacrifices n all). Ignorance is bliss. See what language did Jesus speak in, Aramaic. What would he say to call god? Elohim, what does Elohim mean in ancient Sumeria? Enlightened Ones, and there were 100 of them. Similar enough to the fallen angels, or Nephilim. Oh, the Denisovan and Neanderthal, that’s what your stolen traditions talk about.
I love in Moore, I remember the 2013 tornado very vividly, I watched it destroy the Warren Theater less than a mile from my houseust watching this video I'm terrified, and it's 1000 times worse in person. The sights and sounds are crazy, and the force is breathtaking
The Pilger tornado was actually one of two massive wedges which formed at the same time right outside of town. It was scary to see Armageddon mother nature. I actually spoke with the guy who put the camera on the fence post. Turns out he was a television host for the Outdoor Channel and his property took a direct hit from the Bonner Springs tornado. He told me the camera flew about a mile away from where it was positioned on his property which makes that footage even more ballsy insane.

I have seen many in my 62 years. My first tornado was an EF5 on April 3 1974 which passed only a couple miles from our home. While on the ground some 40 minutes it destroyed much of our little town but we only had extremely mild damage. My grandmother survived with minor damage yet houses all around hers were flattened. I became an active storm chaser only a couple years later when I bought my first car.
@Andrew Grey I lived north of Cincinnati, I was 13. We got thumped here too, but not anywhere near the beast that went through Xenia. I’ll always remember that day….
@Andrew Grey it was a bad day but the town survived. At my age it's time to leave the chasing to the younger folks. That's not to say that if I happen to be at a lower elevation and the opportunity arises I won't go, I most certainly will but I won't be actively chasing them. I live above 8000' now and the chance of one here is almost 0.
@@williamsporing1500 If you look at historic tornado engravings and photographs going back to the late 1800's, Xenia stands out as the most horrifying: black, ugly, menacing as it moves across a flat field with the city in its sights. I've seen a lot of tornadoes, but the photograph of Xenia is in a class all its own.
@9:25 Pro-tip: When a tornado appears to be getting larger, and the wind starts picking up where you are standing, the tornado is moving in your direction. These people should go inside to avoid being sandblasted.
All of you are absolutely right, I was living in Norfolk, NE at the time of the Pilger tornado that claimed 2 lives and injured 20 more, even though one of my friends is from Wisner not too far from the town, it didn't make me feel any better, but to make me feel better he was actually living in Norfolk at the time. A couple of months later after a little clean up a friend and I went to see the aftermath and I was totally devistated about what happened. A town literally destroyed in a matter of minutes. Most of everything gone except for a few buildings. Today they are doing much better completely rebuilt and full of life.
For those who are wondering: 9:54 "Subhanallahil Adheem" (Glory be to Allah the Great" 10:36 "Subhanallah" (Glory be to Allah) 10:44 onwards "Laa Ilaha Illallah" (There is no deity except Allah) These are called Dhikr (remembrance) : repetition of the praise of "Allah" (Meaning of "God" in Arabic). These repetitions are frequently performed by Muslims all over the world as a mean of worshipping the one and only God. Context behind the last phrase: "Laa Ilaha Illallah" is repeated in this video specifically because if he dies in this circumstance, his last words will be these words, which is every Muslims dream: of uttering these words before their soul leaves the body, as a testimony of dying on the faith of Islam. Fun Fact for Western christians: Guess what Arab christians in the middle east calls God? : Allah
from kentucky here, it was so scary. i was sitting on the couch w my parents and then we hear the sirens, we had a small warning the week before so we really didnt think anything of it but ofc we took shelter. turns of the worst hit place (mayfield) was 2 hours away from us & my friends house got ripped apart.
@@officiallysav444 I've just been lay in bed playing with my arse hole ( HAS YA DO AND DNT LIE) due to having operation in that area and occurred a stinky rat smell. low and be old there's shit all over my fingers in the dark and the mess I look like batman had been fucking me jesus not do that again in a hurry
We survived the May 2019 Lawrence/Linwood/Bonner Springs Kansas EF4 tornado. Went right through our property. A mile wide. It was on the ground for 2 hours 19 minutes and only traveled 32 miles. It just sat and turned over and over again for minutes at a time in the same spot. I've lived in this area my entire life, 50 plus years and had close calls, but nothing prepared us for this.
The Jarrell Texas Tornado in the 90s did just that. F5 that only moved at 5 mph. Everything I’ve read about it says it’s the worst damage they’ve ever seen in the sense there was nothing left. Everything was blended down to nothing Unfortunately everything they tell you to do in the case of a tornado would have not increased one’s chances of survival. Anyone or anything in this things path was wiped out. Down to the cement foundation. Even those had damage. An entire housing estate was literally wiped off the map. 29 people died there and have never been recovered. They couldn’t tell which bits were human, and which cow. It scoured the earth down to 18 inches Terrible
Been through three tornadoes since being a child (I learned, I’m now living in the south lol). I’ve been very lucky in the fact that none of my family was ever injured, nor was our property damaged. But I witnessed an F5 from a distance but the others were just F2s. But scary none the less. Stay safe guys.
#4 is what we refer to as a water spout. #2 if you ever see a tornado which seems to stay in place as it's gets stronger/wider, it's because the tornado is heading right for you, get in a shelter quickly.
I'm from The Netherlands and i never knew we had so many of them?! The only encounters i've seen myself was a tiny one at the beach in the late 90's and i've seen one start to form in large thunderstorm when we were on vacation in Germany, i believe in 2003. We were in a vacation house on top of a hill when we saw alot of lightning strikes all around us. I was watching together with my father and we noticed that the wind direction was constantly changing, when we looked up to the clouds you could see them turning around 1 point. It did not touch down where we were but the next day we heard on the news that it did touch down nearby. It definatly was one of the craziest storms i've seen in my life.
Het komt in Nederland vgm wel eens voor maar alleen een open plekken en meestal zijn het meer windhozen wat kan lijken op een tornado maar toch niet de windkracht heeft als een tornado dus het niet zo genoemd wordt, als ik het goed begrepen heb.😂

You gotta be in awe of the Coreolis effect... I'm from the UK and have seen two marine tornadoes (water spouts) in my time... One of them from the deck of The Isle of Wight ferry. Awesome.
I live in Indiana, and I've never experienced a tornado myself, but every time we've gotten a warning its been at night. Only once in my life was it during the day. Night tornadoes are horrifying to me and I'm extremely glad me and my family have never been affected.
Last tornado I saw(I've lived in Kansas for all my life) me and my fam watched it form from our back porch. It was pretty cool. As a Kansas citizen, you're absolutely right about the tornado shelters. Almost every house has one or a basement, and some houses are just straight up underground.
I used to live in Kansas, and it was terrifying. Every tornado season we would get at least 6 tornado watches over 2 months. Tornados were weirdly common in the small town that I used to live in.
I'm also frome kansas and sometimes its terrifying when there's just a thunderstorm in the spring just because of a experience of a tornado dropping on my house
I really need to compliment Underworld. I am HIGHLY critical of people's writing for videos on the internet. Clear writing/narrating are important, and, while I've heard one or two minor slip-ups on this channel, none of which are in this video (up to the 10:21 minute mark, when I paused the video and began writing this comment), the quality of the writing and the narration itself is impressively high. Kudos. Thank you.
I've been through a significant tornado. On Mar. 2, 2019, I saw a POWERFUL, 1.2 mile wide EF-3 when I was only 5. It was insane! I looked out the back window of my house and saw the rain-wrapped Anticyclonic beast! It touched down 5 miles east of my neighborhood. It curved southwest and barely missed my house and my school. 11 fatalities and 47 injuries were reported. My house suffered no damage. Neither did my school. Thank goodness! Meanwhile, another 0.9 mile wide EF-2 lasted 74 minutes and traveled 37 miles through Meridanville, Oakwood, Huntsville, Whitesburg, Owens Cross Roads, and New Hope. The closest it got to my house was 8 miles away. Hopefully this never, ever happens to you guys. I deserved it! Be Safe!
Im from Canada and have only been through 1 tornado suprisingly. My area rarely gets them but we did have a massive EF4 in 1985, I wasn't alive then but my mom lived through it and she said it was terrifying. The one I went through was only an EF2 and it touched down across town from me, was only on the ground for about half an hour but it destroyed a whole neighborhood. My friends and I were all at the mall when it hit, we ran in about 20 minutes before it touched down. I remember a lot of rain, some hail and it was super windy. the clouds were darker then Ive ever seen them and Im thankful it didn't hit the north end of town where I was
Last tornado was rain wrapped… definitely one of the most dangerous because unless you really know what you’re looking for it’s damn near impossible to even see that it’s there until it’s right on top of you
I finally got to see my first tornado last month! I was on a cruise and one of the passengers noticed a waterspout way off in the distance, and I managed to snap some pictures of it too. Unfortunately they’re pretty grainy since it was so far away, but it was still super exciting!
My family and I have been through two head on in direct hits over the years unfortunately there was no time to respond at all. The second one caused the most damage to my area however I learned something when warning signs goes out on the news is to pay attention to the track once one starts. Thankfully I was able to get my outside pets inside during the second one that hit by monitoring the projected path using a door not facing where my outside pets are at getting them indoors before the winds picked up but I barely had time to do so. When a normal person who's not a chaser is in the path, a normal person is not concerned about filming but rather than safety comes first.
@@aly5891 no not at all however very familiar with Joplin and yes I lived not far from Joplin during my childhood. These tornados are a rare case in my state but occured in Florida actually. In no way were these the worst tornadoes but enough to tip over vehicles and even cranes. I breed rare exotic pets both inside in a custom room and outside also so when the second tornado hit the pets would of been trapped if I did not respond to them immediately prior to my own safety therefore I quickly observed it's path and taken immediate action for them. Moment's later the tornado tore out metal street signs and tipped over a highrise crane.
@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 oh wow!, Florida definitely gets a lot of tornadoes , so everyone including your pets were okay? 🥺that is interesting that you lived close to Joplin and have lived in Florida too bc I lived about 45 miles from Joplin and came from California when I was in junior high. In 2011 had just graduated hs the day prior to the 🌪 . My best friend lives in jomo and was lucky to make it back home after she graduated that day. Some of Her friends (and mine) were not so lucky.

I grew up in Nebraska, and moved to FL as an adult. Everyone expected me to be freaked out by hurricanes. It’s like no…at least they give you warning. Tornados just show up and cause chaos.
As a true okie, I was in OKC when Moore got hit by the f5(strongest winds ever recorded) in 1999. My father and i surveyed the damage a few days later. To this day I'm still shook and shocked at the complete destruction an f5 can do to a heavily condensed metropolitan area. Moore would be hit again in 2013 by another f5 in that mirrored the 1999 path. That is just insane. Stay strong Moore. Bad location, great people!!
@@deanseven7As in a few days after the May 3, 1999 tornado. It would take a few days for surveyors to arrive and get set up so they could conduct their business as they had to be careful about interfering with rescue and cleanup efforts.

Tornados have rarely ever ripped through my town. One that occurred a few months ago luckily led them to finding the body if a missing woman. RIP Casey 🙏🏻. As much as there was damage, I’m so thankful it helped find you.
@@angelaengle12 yes! Casey had been missing for a few weeks. The tornado cleared enough debris and trees that they were able to spot her car by helicopter, when only a few weeks prior they couldn’t find it by helicopter because of the trees.
Tornadoes, more specifically waterspouts, are commonplace along the Gulf Coast of FL. Nearly all dissipated within 100-300 yards of coming ashore. I was travelling east on I-10 between Mobile AL and Pensacola FL when I came into a bad thunderstorm. I had slowed to about 50mph and was in the left lane. Visibility was maybe 50 feet at most. I was driving in the left lane and without warning I found myself on right shoulder with twigs and uther debris under my windshield wipers, I was driving a Jeep Cherokee, which is about a 3200 pound vehicle. The only thing I can think of to explain it was I just hit the edge of a tornado as it passed across the interstate. Fortunately the shoulder was flat and not sloped because it happened so quickly I was just along for the ride. I hit the brakes and the anti-locks kicked in because the ground was soaked.
I was working in Maryland when a water spout formed nearby, as someone from the UK it was a real shock to the system (Especially considering water spouts like I was exposed too were extremely minor compared to any actual tornadoes like this). My 3 main memories are the rain was falling horizontally, 3 seconds of exposure to the rain falling had me drenched like I had just jumped in the ocean and the noise was unreal.
Wow, this video is absolutely stunning! The footage is truly captivating. But I can't help but wonder if sometimes the thrill of watching such extreme weather events gets overshadowed by the risks involved for those filming. I mean, should we really be encouraging people to chase tornadoes for the sake of views? Just a thought!
I was fairly amazed at the tornado from Amsterdam but when you mentionned the one from 2019 striking Pétange in Luxembourg that I can go to just on foot I went "HOLD ON" as it hit me. I remember when it happened and wasn't even home but luckily instead just weathered an unusually bloody strong rainstorm and when the news broke out a EF2 tornado happened so close to my town needless to say I was flabbergasted. It is such a rare occurrence for us here and grateful the damages were mostly material over human lives if I recall correctly, but still a significant loss and mark left for the inhabitants that they deployed the army's aid. Reinforce my fascination for those natural phenomenons. Really enjoying this video keep it up! 👍
You asked and answered why tornados are in the USA more than any other.... and you left out that we have a buttload of trailer parks.. and everyone knows that tornados attack trailer parks..
They've estimated that the actual wind speeds of the Dodge City tornado at its cycle point from 7:00 to 8:30 were at the EF4 or EF5 level. There just wasn't anything it was hitting/damaging directly enough to enable to NWS to officially give it higher than an EF3 rating.
I always have vivid dreams about tornadoes. But the only one that actually hit right near here (PA) was in '97 or '98 ...I was very little, and my mom and I were sitting on the porch watching what we thought was just a wicked thunderstorm. My dad drove home like a bat out of hell expecting us to be battening down the hatches, but our place was in a little valley between hills, so we were safe. Right down the road though, we saw the aftermath of strewn staircases and rubble.
Being a Kentuckian I've witnessed the behavior of these things recently. From a barn being spread across a 2 mile radius to my fathers house losing a shutter. Literally 50 yards from said barn. This was the touchdown point for record breaking tornado that destroyed Bowling Green and Mayfield recently. An f4 that split into possibly 3 different tornadoes.
I live in South Mississippi, which gets WAY more tornadoes than most people think. Just in my little are which comprises two counties, we've gotten like a dozen tornadoes over the past 5-6 years or so. Most of them are little F1s or F2s, but we have gotten a couple F4s as well. One of which tore through the town of Hattiesburg and did a lot of damage in 2014 I think. If someone has never experienced being close to a tornado, its the most batshit experience you'll ever have. Its both the most exciting, terrifying, and awe inspiring thing you'll experience in your life
Also from south MS, I would have to agree with you! I’ve seen countless tornadoes in my itty bitty 24 years. I’m terrified of them, I’ve been far too near to far too many. The Lord has protected me and my loved ones each time.
I'll never forget that Bonner Springs/Linwood tornado. That thing was mere miles away from hitting me in Independence, MO. Still one of the most impressive looking tornados I've ever seen.
Being from southern California, i've never seen a tornado... Even though I was a long haul truck driver for 4 years and would routinely drive through tornado alley. I do remember one night, however, I was on the interstate, it was extremely windy, raining, hailing, and lightning flashes (typical signs of tornadoes, so I thought), I felt the strong winds pulling and tugging on my trailer. I felt any second the hail would break through the windshield from the intensity they were hitting. All the other cars had their hazards on and pulled to the side of the road. I did the same. I was petrified in fear. I went back to the sleeper cabin literally shaking. The fact that I believed there was a tornado near me and I couldn't see anything because it was night was terrifying! I'll never forget that night.
@@PeaceNinja007 being frome kansas there so normal here I've learned to tell if its gonna hail or sleet or tornado just by looking at the clouds and if there is a tornado near by it makes a noise like a freight train but ten times louder but there always scary at night but even more if there rain wrapped then you really can't tell but most only last for ten to fifteen minutes but I've seen some that last in hour out in my corn feild
this video is seriously incredible! the footage is mind-blowing and truly captures the power of nature. however, i can't help but wonder if these kinds of videos glamorize tornados. while it’s important to document these events, do you think it makes people underestimate their dangers? just a thought!
I love Texas as a state as a foreigner. And wanted to move to USA texas but sadly it has 143 tornadoes on average per year. And I like Huston Texas very much
One time my now husband and I were returning home from Johnstown. We were driving through Ebensburg when one night while it was storming badly outside. I noticed the lightning flash and happened to glance out the driver's side window. Outside I noticed an EF-5 tornado heading for Ebensburg. Ut was the first time I saw it. It nearly blew us off the road, too.
I was really expecting El Reno to be at the number one spot, can’t have a top 5 tornado video without mention of the biggest and most violent weather even in the Midwest ever.
The El Reno tornado was the biggest, most powerful tornado ever, but it was also very dark and totally rain-wrapped so most of the footage isn't that incredible of it. Also, once they get over a certain size (and I believe El Reno was 2 miles wide at one point) they don't really look like much because you can't see the whole thing in one shot anymore. So I could see it maybe not fitting in this video.
great video! the footage is absolutely mind-blowing. but honestly, do you think showing these extreme weather events desensitizes people to the dangers of climate change? seems like it could go either way.
The only tornado I’ve ever actually *seen* is the EF3 Andover Tornado from late April 2022. I’ve been in many other tornado warnings though. Tornadoes are pretty frightening, but awe inspiring
I grew up in Michigan and experienced a few tornados. It's while how small you feel when you see the whole sky turn black and start swirling above you.
this was such an incredible compilation, really well put together! it's amazing how powerful nature can be. but honestly, i’ve always wondered if filming these tornadoes puts people in more danger. like, wouldn’t it be safer to just stay inside rather than trying to capture the perfect shot? just a thought!
hey, really loved the footage in this video, amazing work capturing such powerful events! just curious though, do you think some of these tornadoes were too exaggerated for the sake of views? it seems like a fine line between showcasing nature’s beauty and sensationalizing it. what do you all think?
I’ve gone through 4 myself living in Kansas when I was younger, pretty surreal watching vortexes form above you. I’ll never forget the calm before the storm, it’s like everything is standing still and the entire air around you has a lime green tint. The worst is at night, because you rely on the lightning to spot them. As fast as they travel, it’s often to late by the time you hear it. Be safe out there.
Wow thanks for sharing your story that's crazy & def sounds surreal

Pro tip: if the tornado looks like it’s not moving and is just getting bigger, then you might wanna like get away or shelter. Cuz that means it’s coming at you. Stay safe !
yeah just like get away and whatever, if u dont have a bunker just leave the area going opposite of the storm, unless its night then just pray its not ur time

Imagine setting up a go-pro attached to a fence and then capturing the formation of a massive tornado *perfectly* in frame. So many chasers must have been so jealous when this first went up on the internet because of how, insane that actually is, for an unmanned camera to just happen to be set up in the PERFECT spot to catch such a beautiful view of the formation of an intense tornado.
Almost like the universe rewarded the guy's good sense to just set up go-pro and then get out of dodge.
Yeah good thing god told him exactly where and how to place the camera.

I lived in Illinois and lived through several tornado sirens during intense storms. But once I saw a funnel cloud form and drop. It was surreal. I can't even put it into words. The way the clouds moved was almost disorienting, creepy. Then I saw the spinning, and when it came down i was amazed how quiet it was at first, I can still remember the way the air felt, it was so weird. It was a small tornado and didn't stay down long at all, but I'll never forget it.
Eine wunderbare Beschreibung! Ehrfurcht und Schönheit vereint.
Have you tried researching on why it goes quiet
LUCKY! I lived in Illinois for 99% of my 26 years on this rock, and NEVER saw one! Where were you!?
@@lewisfranc2957 The reason is because animals know when a storm is coming and leave the area immediately. Thus no animal noises or bird noises. Next is because the air of hot and cold are mixing perfectly and then the air is so not dense that the wind completely stops. Whenever you are outside during a thunderstorm and hear everything go quiet, no wind, and hear a train like sound, go for cover immediately 😊
I’m just guessing here but I think that feeling in the air is our warning system against stuff like this most other animals are way better at sensing it and would have retreated hours in advance which is why it is so silent
Life long Tornado/Dixie alley resident here. Videos do tornadoes no justice. Yeah it’s impressive to see, but the sounds and feelings you get in one is nuts. It goes from heavy rain, loud thunder, tons of lighting, and high winds to sudden silence. The pressure changes and it hits with hail, rain, and stronger winds than before.

I just moved to Dixie alley. Slidell La and the one we had a few weeks ago hit right up the street from me. Less than a mile away. I was flabbergasted 😲🫢
Do you mind if I ask out of something I’ve always wondered: Why choose living in an area like this if this is the potential risk every single year of your life? Not meant to offend at all, and I don’t mean to ask genetically for a, “Well every place has their weather trade-offs” answer. I mean you specifically on a personal level. Why stay, knowing you could lose your home/life/livelihood in any given, statistically likely annual storm? I wonder the same for people who actively choose to move to / continue living in hurricane-/wildfire-prone areas in the US, so genuinely asking to learn what the rationale is living in such a high-risk area *knowing* the risk. TIA
Most people live in these places because you never think it's going to happen to you. We are all that way no matter where we live. I live in Northern Kentucky so I don't have to worry too much in theory about a large tornado@@snoopdog2593

I think what makes tornadoes the most spectacular is the fact that you're looking at this humongous thing in the sky. And you can't help being in awe of how huge this thing is and how fast it's spiraling in air like a vacuum cleaner. A tornado is probably the largest animated object you'll ever see
the ocean is bigger
The gaseous fart from a flatulent fog can be breathtaking.
Volcano beats tornado for animated object. Sorry.

We were driving through Oklahoma on our way to Dallas and stopped at McDonald's for lunch. A storm popped up just as we were loading the three kids in the car. My youngest said he had to use the bathroom. I kinda yelled at him, "why didn't you go while we were still inside? Okay, come on...." I was aggravated at him. We finished and piled back in the car. As we got on the highway, there were 18 wheelers thrown all across the road. There were cars turned sideways in the medium. My husband stopped to see if he could help, and one of the truckdrivers said a tornado had dropped down out of nowhere. If my son hadn't needed to use the bathroom, we would have been right in the middle of it. That is when I learned to take weather seriously.
I figured you learned not to scold you kids when they had to pee .

Was in junior high school and living near Xenia, Ohio when the massive tornado outbreak on April 3rd, 1974 happened. Dads friend, from Xenia, was at the house getting sod and left early as the sky was getting scary looking. Low boiling clouds with a weird green color were so low it felt like you could touch them. And the absolute quiet and stillness in the air was unnerving. Dads friend got home as the tornado blasted through on the next block. Luckily, his family and home survived, but so many others were not as lucky. I think it still has the highest death count…F5’s are no joke.
I was in the Ohio National Guard at the time and was called up to active duty for 2 weeks because of the Xenia Tornado. It and the aftermath of Hurricane Camille in 1969 were the 2 worst scenes I've ever witnessed in my entire life.
My dad was telling me about that tornado and the next day a tornado touched down a few miles from my house nothing dangerous unless you were outside but still big enough to see we lived in Alexandria Ohio at the time
I live in New Philadelphia, Ohio and my friend said she say one forming above a giant eagle in Dover about like 6 yrs ago when we were in 3rd grade. I've never seen on up close but I to know that a tornado was so close to where I live is crazy
Look up the 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado. That one was a real mfer, even worse than the Xenia and Moore tornados 😮.
I used to live in Illinois and experienced numerous tornado sirens during severe storms. However, I once witnessed a funnel cloud forming and descending. It felt surreal, beyond words. The way the clouds moved was unsettling, almost eerie. Then I saw the rotation, and as it touched down, I was struck by the initial quietness - I can still recall the peculiar sensation in the air. While it was a brief occurrence and a small tornado, I'll always carry that memory
I've had the fortune of only ever having actually been in one tornado, and it was only like an EF1. Very minor, but I was about eight at the time, so having the sky green and small things flying everywhere and hiding in the bathroom certainly felt terrifying. I can't begin to imagine going through one of those huge, crazy ones.

I've been caught in extremely severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, both, near St. Louis, Missouri. The worst one was a multiple vortex tornado that hit while I was driving on I-44. Every direction I looked I saw tornadoes just dancing all around. They didn't stay down, they would bounce up and down. They were like thin tornadic fingers. I think that is what saved me. Had they stayed on the ground I wouldn't be here today. Imagine looking to your left and seeing a tornado, look to your right and there's a tornado, look in your rear view mirror and you see a tornado and a tornado just hit in front of me and turned semi-trucks over on their sides, took down those huge lane signs over the interstate, debris was everywhere, my car was hit with debris and hail, high winds, heavy rain, and no where to go. I thought this is it - I'm going to die. Only by the grace of God, those tornados dissipated. St. Louis has wicked, wicked, storms. If you visit St. Louis pay serious attention to storm and tornado warnings.
damn, you have some really good guardian angels at your side. take care.
@@sleepingbackbone7581 Thanks! You are correct about the guardian angels. I started getting warnings about events that were going to happen when I was about 19. It doesn't happen very often, but it happens. The first two times I dismissed the warnings thinking that's so silly, why did I just have those thoughts? Then after two of the warnings became reality within a few hours of the warnings I knew the warnings were from God, or an angel God had sent. I apologized to God for ignoring the warnings. I told him, I didn't know it was you and promised to always listen from now on. And over the years I did receive a few more warnings and as promised I listened. One of the times it saved my life, literally! I didn't receive a warning about the tornadoes, but God did save me and I wasn't harmed.
Glad you're okay!

I'll never forget my first tornado. I was like four or five and wanted to see it so I opened the front door. I can still remember my poor mom fighting to close the door against the wind. Where I live hurricanes are more common than tornados but big storms are always an interesting experience. Everything around you has an orange tint to it, or on rare occasions purple. It's such a cool phenomenon, even though it means a bad storm is coming.
Yeah, you see, me and my mom whenever we hear of a tornado, we sit outside and wait and see if we can see it! (We'll get my younger sisters to the safest area in the house first, obviously). One time there was a tornado, I was at a friend's house, she was at Walmart, she wanted to see it but the Walmart people told her that if she went outside, she wouldn't be allowed back in until the storm was over. My stepdad and sister was with her, so she stayed inside. I also wanted to go outside, but I was too busy calming down my now gf and her niece and nephew (she wasn't too freaked about the tornado, but she was having mild flashbacks from 2 she was in and she also tends to overthink, and that's what was mainly freaking her out. But she was calm enough to hide it, but I can read her like a book, so I discreetly comforted her.)
Was your mom feet first in the air while holding on to the door?

The tornado that begins here at 12:22 could have been similar to the deadly Tri-State Tornado of March 18, 1925 that killed nearly 700 people in Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. While no photographs or film reels of the Tri-State tornado were taken (or at least known to exist), the tornado was frequently described by witnesses as an "amorphous rolling fog" or "boiling clouds on the ground", and fooled normally weather-wise farmers (in addition to people in general) who did not sense the danger until the storm was right upon them. The condensation funnel was also reportedly sometimes wrapped in copious dust and debris, which likely obscured it and made it less recognizable. The parent supercell apparently transitioned to a high-precipitation (HP) variety..... meaning that the tornado was not readily visible as it approached, as it was often shrouded in heavy rain and hail. The very strong Tri-State Tornado at times exhibited an unusual freaky appearance due partially to its size (at one point in Missouri, it was a full mile wide) and the probable low cloud base of its parent thunderstorm.
The Tri-State tornado was very probably in actuality a family of tornadoes....not just one. Supercells cycle and sometimes very quickly. The tornado will lift and the storm cycles itself and drops another tornado a few minutes later.

The Pilger tornado was actually one of two massive wedges which formed at the same time right outside of town. It was scary to see Armageddon mother nature. I actually spoke with the guy who put the camera on the fence post. Turns out he was a television host for the Outdoor Channel and his property took a direct hit from the Bonner Springs tornado. He told me the camera flew about a mile away from where it was positioned on his property which makes that footage even more ballsy insane.

I have seen many in my 62 years. My first tornado was an EF5 on April 3 1974 which passed only a couple miles from our home. While on the ground some 40 minutes it destroyed much of our little town but we only had extremely mild damage. My grandmother survived with minor damage yet houses all around hers were flattened. I became an active storm chaser only a couple years later when I bought my first car.
Xenia?
@Andrew Grey I lived north of Cincinnati, I was 13. We got thumped here too, but not anywhere near the beast that went through Xenia. I’ll always remember that day….
@Andrew Grey it was a bad day but the town survived. At my age it's time to leave the chasing to the younger folks. That's not to say that if I happen to be at a lower elevation and the opportunity arises I won't go, I most certainly will but I won't be actively chasing them. I live above 8000' now and the chance of one here is almost 0.
@@DaveJohnsonad5nm I like the "almost"
@@williamsporing1500 If you look at historic tornado engravings and photographs going back to the late 1800's, Xenia stands out as the most horrifying: black, ugly, menacing as it moves across a flat field with the city in its sights. I've seen a lot of tornadoes, but the photograph of Xenia is in a class all its own.
@9:25 Pro-tip: When a tornado appears to be getting larger, and the wind starts picking up where you are standing, the tornado is moving in your direction. These people should go inside to avoid being sandblasted.
All of you are absolutely right, I was living in Norfolk, NE at the time of the Pilger tornado that claimed 2 lives and injured 20 more, even though one of my friends is from Wisner not too far from the town, it didn't make me feel any better, but to make me feel better he was actually living in Norfolk at the time. A couple of months later after a little clean up a friend and I went to see the aftermath and I was totally devistated about what happened. A town literally destroyed in a matter of minutes. Most of everything gone except for a few buildings. Today they are doing much better completely rebuilt and full of life.
For those who are wondering:
9:54 "Subhanallahil Adheem" (Glory be to Allah the Great"
10:36 "Subhanallah" (Glory be to Allah)
10:44 onwards "Laa Ilaha Illallah" (There is no deity except Allah)
These are called Dhikr (remembrance) : repetition of the praise of "Allah" (Meaning of "God" in Arabic). These repetitions are frequently performed by Muslims all over the world as a mean of worshipping the one and only God.
Context behind the last phrase: "Laa Ilaha Illallah" is repeated in this video specifically because if he dies in this circumstance, his last words will be these words, which is every Muslims dream: of uttering these words before their soul leaves the body, as a testimony of dying on the faith of Islam.
Fun Fact for Western christians: Guess what Arab christians in the middle east calls God? : Allah
Crazy this was posted right before probably one of the largest tornadoes in history. Pray for Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana 🙏
from kentucky here, it was so scary. i was sitting on the couch w my parents and then we hear the sirens, we had a small warning the week before so we really didnt think anything of it but ofc we took shelter. turns of the worst hit place (mayfield) was 2 hours away from us & my friends house got ripped apart.
I heard it was on the ground for like 200 miles or something

From Bowling Green 🙋🏼♂️ it’s not pretty here. Lost my coworker and his entire family to the tornado. All 7 gone.
We survived the May 2019 Lawrence/Linwood/Bonner Springs Kansas EF4 tornado. Went right through our property. A mile wide. It was on the ground for 2 hours 19 minutes and only traveled 32 miles. It just sat and turned over and over again for minutes at a time in the same spot. I've lived in this area my entire life, 50 plus years and had close calls, but nothing prepared us for this.
I was chasing it. The tornado was insane but most of us couldnt see shit
Yeah..the tornado was rainwrapped, means..the tornado was covered in a heavy rain core.
The Jarrell Texas Tornado in the 90s did just that.
F5 that only moved at 5 mph.
Everything I’ve read about it says it’s the worst damage they’ve ever seen in the sense there was nothing left. Everything was blended down to nothing
Unfortunately everything they tell you to do in the case of a tornado would have not increased one’s chances of survival. Anyone or anything in this things path was wiped out. Down to the cement foundation. Even those had damage. An entire housing estate was literally wiped off the map. 29 people died there and have never been recovered. They couldn’t tell which bits were human, and which cow. It scoured the earth down to 18 inches
Terrible
very cringe when they beg you to sub and like
We just moved to Trenton mo from pahrump NV what are things we need to know we know nothing about what to be prepared for any advice is helpful
Been through three tornadoes since being a child (I learned, I’m now living in the south lol). I’ve been very lucky in the fact that none of my family was ever injured, nor was our property damaged. But I witnessed an F5 from a distance but the others were just F2s. But scary none the less. Stay safe guys.
The dude at 7:20 thought he sh*t himself for a second😂😂😂💯
#4 is what we refer to as a water spout. #2 if you ever see a tornado which seems to stay in place as it's gets stronger/wider, it's because the tornado is heading right for you, get in a shelter quickly.
I'm from The Netherlands and i never knew we had so many of them?! The only encounters i've seen myself was a tiny one at the beach in the late 90's and i've seen one start to form in large thunderstorm when we were on vacation in Germany, i believe in 2003. We were in a vacation house on top of a hill when we saw alot of lightning strikes all around us. I was watching together with my father and we noticed that the wind direction was constantly changing, when we looked up to the clouds you could see them turning around 1 point. It did not touch down where we were but the next day we heard on the news that it did touch down nearby. It definatly was one of the craziest storms i've seen in my life.
Het komt in Nederland vgm wel eens voor maar alleen een open plekken en meestal zijn het meer windhozen wat kan lijken op een tornado maar toch niet de windkracht heeft als een tornado dus het niet zo genoemd wordt, als ik het goed begrepen heb.😂
well netherlands have had over 300 tornado reports Although netherlands see 15 - 20 a year It's not the most per area NRW in germany are tho

4:50 I laughed out loud when they stopped speaking Dutch to say "What the fuck" and "Holy shit" in English. 😂
Fact: if a tornado grows and gets bigger and it doesn’t look like it’s moving, it’s coming towards you! Take shelter in these situations. Stay safe!! 🙏❤️
You gotta be in awe of the Coreolis effect... I'm from the UK and have seen two marine tornadoes (water spouts) in my time... One of them from the deck of The Isle of Wight ferry. Awesome.
#3 definitely shocked me. That is one of the most well developed tornados I have ever seen!
oh you should absolutely look up "pecos hank" and specifically his coverage of the dodge city tornado family. incredible footage
I can only dream of capturing a tornado like any of these! I’m a chaser. Most I’ve “seen” is a rain wrapped tornado in Texas.
Rain wrapped are the worst and most deadly since you can't see them!!!
I live in Indiana, and I've never experienced a tornado myself, but every time we've gotten a warning its been at night. Only once in my life was it during the day. Night tornadoes are horrifying to me and I'm extremely glad me and my family have never been affected.
Last tornado I saw(I've lived in Kansas for all my life) me and my fam watched it form from our back porch.
It was pretty cool.
As a Kansas citizen, you're absolutely right about the tornado shelters. Almost every house has one or a basement, and some houses are just straight up underground.
I used to live in Kansas, and it was terrifying. Every tornado season we would get at least 6 tornado watches over 2 months. Tornados were weirdly common in the small town that I used to live in.
I'm also frome kansas and sometimes its terrifying when there's just a thunderstorm in the spring just because of a experience of a tornado dropping on my house
the inflow notch in that last storm is insanely well defined
I really need to compliment Underworld. I am HIGHLY critical of people's writing for videos on the internet. Clear writing/narrating are important, and, while I've heard one or two minor slip-ups on this channel, none of which are in this video (up to the 10:21 minute mark, when I paused the video and began writing this comment), the quality of the writing and the narration itself is impressively high. Kudos. Thank you.
I've been through a significant tornado. On Mar. 2, 2019, I saw a POWERFUL, 1.2 mile wide EF-3 when I was only 5. It was insane! I looked out the back window of my house and saw the rain-wrapped Anticyclonic beast! It touched down 5 miles east of my neighborhood. It curved southwest and barely missed my house and my school. 11 fatalities and 47 injuries were reported. My house suffered no damage. Neither did my school. Thank goodness! Meanwhile, another 0.9 mile wide
EF-2 lasted 74 minutes and traveled 37 miles through Meridanville, Oakwood, Huntsville, Whitesburg, Owens Cross Roads, and New Hope. The closest it got to my house was 8 miles away. Hopefully this never, ever happens to you guys. I deserved it! Be Safe!
Im from Canada and have only been through 1 tornado suprisingly. My area rarely gets them but we did have a massive EF4 in 1985, I wasn't alive then but my mom lived through it and she said it was terrifying. The one I went through was only an EF2 and it touched down across town from me, was only on the ground for about half an hour but it destroyed a whole neighborhood. My friends and I were all at the mall when it hit, we ran in about 20 minutes before it touched down. I remember a lot of rain, some hail and it was super windy. the clouds were darker then Ive ever seen them and Im thankful it didn't hit the north end of town where I was
I grew up dealing with tornados pretty much every year. We used to set out and go follow them. We are also huge fans of the movie twister
Same but I’m petrified of them. grew up seeking shelter in the bathtub with couch pillows over our heads. Lol
Last tornado was rain wrapped… definitely one of the most dangerous because unless you really know what you’re looking for it’s damn near impossible to even see that it’s there until it’s right on top of you
I've seen one tornado (June 7, 2010 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska) and that's more than enough for me.
I'm glad my state don't have them...
@1:19 incredible shot!
I finally got to see my first tornado last month! I was on a cruise and one of the passengers noticed a waterspout way off in the distance, and I managed to snap some pictures of it too. Unfortunately they’re pretty grainy since it was so far away, but it was still super exciting!
My family and I have been through two head on in direct hits over the years unfortunately there was no time to respond at all. The second one caused the most damage to my area however I learned something when warning signs goes out on the news is to pay attention to the track once one starts. Thankfully I was able to get my outside pets inside during the second one that hit by monitoring the projected path using a door not facing where my outside pets are at getting them indoors before the winds picked up but I barely had time to do so. When a normal person who's not a chaser is in the path, a normal person is not concerned about filming but rather than safety comes first.
Sounds like you were in Joplin
@@aly5891 no not at all however very familiar with Joplin and yes I lived not far from Joplin during my childhood. These tornados are a rare case in my state but occured in Florida actually. In no way were these the worst tornadoes but enough to tip over vehicles and even cranes. I breed rare exotic pets both inside in a custom room and outside also so when the second tornado hit the pets would of been trapped if I did not respond to them immediately prior to my own safety therefore I quickly observed it's path and taken immediate action for them. Moment's later the tornado tore out metal street signs and tipped over a highrise crane.
@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 oh wow!, Florida definitely gets a lot of tornadoes , so everyone including your pets were okay? 🥺that is interesting that you lived close to Joplin and have lived in Florida too bc I lived about 45 miles from Joplin and came from California when I was in junior high. In 2011 had just graduated hs the day prior to the 🌪 . My best friend lives in jomo and was lucky to make it back home after she graduated that day. Some of Her friends (and mine) were not so lucky. I was supposed to go to her grad but idk what came up but I couldn’t.

I grew up in Nebraska, and moved to FL as an adult. Everyone expected me to be freaked out by hurricanes. It’s like no…at least they give you warning. Tornados just show up and cause chaos.
This video makes me love my tornado shelter even more!
Happy Thanksgiving Underworld you just made my day with this video love is this video love it always
This was a very well made compilation. The extra info was very welcome.
As a true okie, I was in OKC when Moore got hit by the f5(strongest winds ever recorded) in 1999. My father and i surveyed the damage a few days later. To this day I'm still shook and shocked at the complete destruction an f5 can do to a heavily condensed metropolitan area. Moore would be hit again in 2013 by another f5 in that mirrored the 1999 path. That is just insane. Stay strong Moore. Bad location, great people!!
Few days later?
@@deanseven7As in a few days after the May 3, 1999 tornado. It would take a few days for surveyors to arrive and get set up so they could conduct their business as they had to be careful about interfering with rescue and cleanup efforts.
Native North Texan here... once the sky turns that grey/green hue, that is a *bad sign* ! Everything is eerily still & quiet for a moment before all hell breaks loose. Run.
Tornados have rarely ever ripped through my town. One that occurred a few months ago luckily led them to finding the body if a missing woman. RIP Casey 🙏🏻. As much as there was damage, I’m so thankful it helped find you.
Really? O.o A tornado solved a missing person's case?
@@angelaengle12 yes! Casey had been missing for a few weeks. The tornado cleared enough debris and trees that they were able to spot her car by helicopter, when only a few weeks prior they couldn’t find it by helicopter because of the trees.
@@HannahTinsel Wow, that's wild. Talk about seeing the silver lining in the clouds, lol.
@@angelaengle12 honestly!! I wholeheartedly believe that allowed her to be found. Very thankful despite damages
@@HannahTinsel
Did they determine how she died? Foul play I assume
Tornadoes, more specifically waterspouts, are commonplace along the Gulf Coast of FL. Nearly all dissipated within 100-300 yards of coming ashore. I was travelling east on I-10 between Mobile AL and Pensacola FL when I came into a bad thunderstorm. I had slowed to about 50mph and was in the left lane. Visibility was maybe 50 feet at most. I was driving in the left lane and without warning I found myself on right shoulder with twigs and uther debris under my windshield wipers, I was driving a Jeep Cherokee, which is about a 3200 pound vehicle. The only thing I can think of to explain it was I just hit the edge of a tornado as it passed across the interstate. Fortunately the shoulder was flat and not sloped because it happened so quickly I was just along for the ride. I hit the brakes and the anti-locks kicked in because the ground was soaked.
I was working in Maryland when a water spout formed nearby, as someone from the UK it was a real shock to the system (Especially considering water spouts like I was exposed too were extremely minor compared to any actual tornadoes like this). My 3 main memories are the rain was falling horizontally, 3 seconds of exposure to the rain falling had me drenched like I had just jumped in the ocean and the noise was unreal.
Wow, this video is absolutely stunning! The footage is truly captivating. But I can't help but wonder if sometimes the thrill of watching such extreme weather events gets overshadowed by the risks involved for those filming. I mean, should we really be encouraging people to chase tornadoes for the sake of views? Just a thought!
2:18 look at the bottom right, thats a house flying in the air.
houses are like TOYS to tornadoes like these basically
I was fairly amazed at the tornado from Amsterdam but when you mentionned the one from 2019 striking Pétange in Luxembourg that I can go to just on foot I went "HOLD ON" as it hit me. I remember when it happened and wasn't even home but luckily instead just weathered an unusually bloody strong rainstorm and when the news broke out a EF2 tornado happened so close to my town needless to say I was flabbergasted. It is such a rare occurrence for us here and grateful the damages were mostly material over human lives if I recall correctly, but still a significant loss and mark left for the inhabitants that they deployed the army's aid. Reinforce my fascination for those natural phenomenons. Really enjoying this video keep it up! 👍
You asked and answered why tornados are in the USA more than any other.... and you left out that we have a buttload of trailer parks.. and everyone knows that tornados attack trailer parks..
3:56 What on Earth are you talking about ??? The Netherlands almost NEVER has tornados. I've lived here 40+ years and have only heard of one...
he only says it for attention basically
i like tornado videos 😃
They've estimated that the actual wind speeds of the Dodge City tornado at its cycle point from 7:00 to 8:30 were at the EF4 or EF5 level. There just wasn't anything it was hitting/damaging directly enough to enable to NWS to officially give it higher than an EF3 rating.
I always have vivid dreams about tornadoes. But the only one that actually hit right near here (PA) was in '97 or '98 ...I was very little, and my mom and I were sitting on the porch watching what we thought was just a wicked thunderstorm. My dad drove home like a bat out of hell expecting us to be battening down the hatches, but our place was in a little valley between hills, so we were safe. Right down the road though, we saw the aftermath of strewn staircases and rubble.
You got lucky... valleys do not save you from tornadoes. Glad your family made it through
Being a Kentuckian I've witnessed the behavior of these things recently. From a barn being spread across a 2 mile radius to my fathers house losing a shutter. Literally 50 yards from said barn. This was the touchdown point for record breaking tornado that destroyed Bowling Green and Mayfield recently. An f4 that split into possibly 3 different tornadoes.
It seemed to hop at first. And two of the tornados that split seemed to have gotten trapped in a couple of valleys as it headed northeast towards BG.
Well done! Your video is an excellent documentary of the power of tornados!
I live in South Mississippi, which gets WAY more tornadoes than most people think. Just in my little are which comprises two counties, we've gotten like a dozen tornadoes over the past 5-6 years or so. Most of them are little F1s or F2s, but we have gotten a couple F4s as well. One of which tore through the town of Hattiesburg and did a lot of damage in 2014 I think. If someone has never experienced being close to a tornado, its the most batshit experience you'll ever have. Its both the most exciting, terrifying, and awe inspiring thing you'll experience in your life
Also from south MS, I would have to agree with you! I’ve seen countless tornadoes in my itty bitty 24 years. I’m terrified of them, I’ve been far too near to far too many. The Lord has protected me and my loved ones each time.
And don’t get me started on hurricanes!
I'll never forget that Bonner Springs/Linwood tornado. That thing was mere miles away from hitting me in Independence, MO. Still one of the most impressive looking tornados I've ever seen.
2:18 an entire house floating in the air
Fact: Storm chasers almost never get swept up by tornadoes because the sheer weight of their balls keeps them anchored to the ground.
Lmao 😂
Being from southern California, i've never seen a tornado... Even though I was a long haul truck driver for 4 years and would routinely drive through tornado alley.
I do remember one night, however, I was on the interstate, it was extremely windy, raining, hailing, and lightning flashes (typical signs of tornadoes, so I thought), I felt the strong winds pulling and tugging on my trailer. I felt any second the hail would break through the windshield from the intensity they were hitting.
All the other cars had their hazards on and pulled to the side of the road. I did the same.
I was petrified in fear. I went back to the sleeper cabin literally shaking.
The fact that I believed there was a tornado near me and I couldn't see anything because it was night was terrifying! I'll never forget that night.
What state were you in?
@@carterh1812 Texas, I-20 Westbound, near Odessa
@@PeaceNinja007 being frome kansas there so normal here I've learned to tell if its gonna hail or sleet or tornado just by looking at the clouds and if there is a tornado near by it makes a noise like a freight train but ten times louder but there always scary at night but even more if there rain wrapped then you really can't tell but most only last for ten to fifteen minutes but I've seen some that last in hour out in my corn feild
this video is seriously incredible! the footage is mind-blowing and truly captures the power of nature. however, i can't help but wonder if these kinds of videos glamorize tornados. while it’s important to document these events, do you think it makes people underestimate their dangers? just a thought!
I love Texas as a state as a foreigner. And wanted to move to USA texas but sadly it has 143 tornadoes on average per year. And I like Huston Texas very much
One time my now husband and I were returning home from Johnstown. We were driving through Ebensburg when one night while it was storming badly outside. I noticed the lightning flash and happened to glance out the driver's side window. Outside I noticed an EF-5 tornado heading for Ebensburg. Ut was the first time I saw it. It nearly blew us off the road, too.
What about the 1953 Worcester Tornado in of all places, Worcester, Massachusetts? Some report it was an (equivalent) EF4/5, based on scale of damage.
I was really expecting El Reno to be at the number one spot, can’t have a top 5 tornado video without mention of the biggest and most violent weather even in the Midwest ever.
The El Reno tornado was the biggest, most powerful tornado ever, but it was also very dark and totally rain-wrapped so most of the footage isn't that incredible of it. Also, once they get over a certain size (and I believe El Reno was 2 miles wide at one point) they don't really look like much because you can't see the whole thing in one shot anymore. So I could see it maybe not fitting in this video.
It was ####### 2.6 mills wide
@@tonymcgee3744 Was it? Good lord that is insane

I grew up in Michigan and experienced a few tornados. It's while how small you feel when you see the whole sky turn black and start swirling above you.
this was such an incredible compilation, really well put together! it's amazing how powerful nature can be. but honestly, i’ve always wondered if filming these tornadoes puts people in more danger. like, wouldn’t it be safer to just stay inside rather than trying to capture the perfect shot? just a thought!
I live in Kansas and thankfully never once have I experienced a tornado.
The most scary tornado footage I’ve ever seen was the “Clem Schultz” footage.
I've accidentally drove through a night tornado, and I had a huge f3 a half mile in front of me as I was driving like a mad man.
That Dodge City tornado was a beauty. Gorgeous.
hey, really loved the footage in this video, amazing work capturing such powerful events! just curious though, do you think some of these tornadoes were too exaggerated for the sake of views? it seems like a fine line between showcasing nature’s beauty and sensationalizing it. what do you all think?
The best tornado I ever saw was in the Wizard of OZ
