    • @KaseyWithers
      @KaseyWithers Месяц назад +132

      Imo, I think this storm is partially why el Reno ended up the way it did. Like obviously it was an insane storm, pretty unpredictable. But I really think chasers had it in the back of their minds "oh this is gonna hit Moore too" , so they might have had an unconscious bias towards it moving east. Like they weren't fully paying attention to what the storm was actually doing, because half of their minds were focused on Moore.
      That storm was huge and widened out unexpectedly, it had weird motion, but idk. Watching the storm spotter network of that day, it looks like so many of them were priming to go towards Moore. I wonder how that played into the ways chasers reacted in the moment. Seeing so many seasoned chasers get hit that day, I really think they half expected it to keep moving east.

He was standing over several boys, including his own I believe, and part of the cement wall fell on top of him! But he knew he had to keep standing and protecting those boys. It really is because of amazing people like that that no one died in that school. Like, that wall likely would have crushed some boys if he wasn't there, so it'd be similar to the other school ):

    Another incredible thing about this tornado is that I live 100 miles to the NE of Moore(near Tulsa), & we were finding debris in our town. Even family photos. I couldn’t figure out what the stuff was I was finding in my backyard until it dawned on me that it was blown debris from Moore.
    Also, my mom, sister-in-law & I went down there to help with cleanup of the cemetery near Plaza Towers elementary to prepare for burials of those lost. We just couldn’t believe what we saw. There was no grass at all in the cemetery. Looking over at the school, knowing those babies lost their lives in there was just heart wrenching. I cried so much while trying to help that community.

    Man oh man. May 3rd, I was in 5th grade and lived 2 blocks east of Plaza. The damage from that tornado hit the more northern sides of Moore. By 2013, I was living in northeast parts of town. Seeing the absolute destruction of the town you have lived and grown up in is quite mind boggling. But seeing it twice, I'm not sure my brain really believes what it saw. I dont recall what the May 8th, 2003 tornado was rated but I remember looking out a window and seeing it headed right for us. That sight alone would be something 99% of the population would always rememeber and instill fear. For some reason, its hard to imagine wanting to move away from here. Mondays in Moore in May.
    There was a mobile home park that was MAYBE 1/3 of mile east of Plaza Towers that somehow wasnt absolutely demolished. I'm quite sure Michael Lynn made it to his daughter, he calls the football games for MHS on radio.

Though one person who was a patient at Moore Medical Center on May 20th told her story in the video: a woman by the name of Lacy Jacobs. Lacy had arrived at six that morning to be induced for labor with her husband. As a result the weather was the last thing Lacy had on her mind. Early that afternoon; Lacy had delivered her second child, a boy whom she and her husband named Kellan. Though when the tornado warning was issued Lacy was evacuated downstairs to the cafeteria from the maternity ward. Lacy was understandably frightened by what was occurring while she was checking her phone to stay informed on the situation at hand. After the tornado had moved past the hospital following its loop; the patients were evacuated to the Warren Theatre. Lacy was absolutely bewildered by the destruction she was seeing after getting out of the hospital.

    A sad, lesser-known fact about this tornado that wasn't mentioned in the video; another death contributed to the tornado came around 5 years after May 20th 2013, when a survivor from Plaza Towers named Xavier Delgado took his life after losing 7 of his friends in the tornado. He was only in 3rd grade when the storm happened. He was there at the school where he lost his friends and classmates.

    Something I wish you wouldve discussed is home shelters post-1999 in Moore. IIRC, after the 1999 Moore tornado, a lot of people opted to try ground level "tornado-safe" concrete rooms instead of basements. I wonder if a lot of people survived this tornado utilizing those or if they were even effective.

    I remember watching this tornado from start to finish on TV in Texas. I saw it live on the Weather Channel, and by the time it became wedge and started heading towards Moore, that's when CNN started covering the KFOR stream. When it was over, my jaw dropped the devastation in real time, but what broke my heart was hearing about what happened to those elementary school kids because they went through my worst nightmare as a kid and 7 of them didn't make it. 10 years later, I'm a truck driver now, and I take loads to OKC all the time, and every time I pass the Warren Theater or 27th street(May 3rd path), I always get a chill down my spine just thinking about those tragic days.

    We watched this live on TV while visiting my sister north of Joplin. We were moving to the area and decided we needed to have a plan. We went out the next day and purchased an above ground storm shelter. A year later, we moved farther north of Joplin and had that shelter moved with us. There was already an in-ground shelter, but we needed something in the garage so that my elderly parents would have a chance. Both shelters are stocked with water and MREs as well as basic tools. Our biggest hole in this is the lack of warning sirens anywhere close to us. All we have is the Weather Radio.

    every time i hear "well constructed homes were obliterated" i think back to an argument i had with a friend about her saying that tornadoes here (i live in austria) wouldn't do any damage at all bcs we have brick/concrete homes. but honestly if i had to choose i'd rather have drywall flying around not... y'know. bricks.

    • @QueenofTNT
      @QueenofTNT Месяц назад +2

      Kind of depends, admittedly. Stuff like brick and concrete can get ground down into dust from the force of the winds alone if the tornado is strong enough. It makes it into the world's biggest sandblaster, sort of. Wood, grass, and other stuff one would usually consider less dangerous can still kill pretty easily at tornado strengths like the one talked about in the video; the two examples that come to my mind are the Jarrell and Joplin tornadoes; Jarrell was so slow and powerful that straw was found almost thatched into the cadavers of...whatever remained. Joplin also as there are several well known images to come out of it, one being a large splinter of wood that was going so fast it *impaled a concrete curb.*
      Basically: Concrete bad because you'll get sandblasted, Wood bad because you'll get impaled. Debris are a risk regardless of tornado intensity, because best case it's hurling debris at around highway/interstate speed, and at worst it's hurling the exact same debris but now at the speed of a Tokyo bullet train! Woohoo!

My mom got off of work early and picked me up before the storm hit us. As soon as we got home it directly hit my grandmas house. My mom had left my grandma behind when she picked me up. So my mom had to drive my dad to the Orr family farm to get to my grandmas house (luckily she was fine) but her house was gone. I suck at writing so I hope that all made sense lol

Although we have had some VERY nasty tornadoes since, we haven't seen anything to that degree. The Western Kentucky/Mayfield is arguably the closest we've gotten. But we *will* see destruction the likes of Moore or Joplin again at some point. And I am really dreading that.
