they look so much younger
Yes
I remember this. I know both of those guys. They are very cool people and they did a excellent job. I was living in Elberton at that time because Comcast was our cable provider.
I remember this omg I was in elementary school I was like 7 and the tornado actually came into my neighborhood it sounded like a train and I remember our back door patio shaking and me and my family ran in the bathroom and then my grandma started praying and it missed us. My mom was actually at work during the game that and came home early because of the weather. The georgia dome (which is no longer there and replaced by the Mercedes Benz stadium) was messed up real bad my mom was out of work for almost a month until they fixed the damages. And the loft building was never fixed it still stands to this day and u can see the damages all furniture was gone but this building is still standing but abandoned I've seen it pretty often traveling through Atlanta.
This Is Trixey Paradise 2008 or back in the olden days?
I was born in 2008 :/
@@anusdotcom2660 it was in 2008...sorry for the late reply
Christ, it wasn't that long ago.
Me too bro, I was in 4th grade when this happen.
My son was 2 weeks old. We were in a 3rd floor apartment and we took cover in the bath tub with a mattress over us.
1:15 when Glenn burns says this, it’s go time!
I wonder if anyone has footage of the F4 tornado that went through Kennesaw in 1992. I've been reading about that nasty tornado outbreak and find myself amazed that no one was killed by such a destructive and violent tornado.
I used to live in Kennesaw from 2006 to 2015, I never heard about that F4. I've seen an EF0 rope out over my house up in Shiloh Valley, but never anything related to a giant like that. Could I get more info?
@@seaboardspastic It was part of a rare November tornado outbreak in 1992 across the southeast. The one that hit Kennesaw touched down near Powder Springs around 11 AM and did some odd brief NW move to then head through Kennesaw and up towards Woodstock. Another tornado that was almost Georgia's first F5 destroyed some small towns near Lake Oconee that same day.
There are a few articles about it from AJC and New York Times on Google, plus some articles that weather enthusiasts wrote about it.
@@seaboardspastic I lived in Woodstock in 1992 and for some crazy reason I didn't remember this tornado either, but it did happen....on Nov. 22, 1992. www.weather.gov/ffc/ef4tornado_history
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_November_1992
The tornado went right over the lot where my current house sits (it was built in 2006). I found out about this tornado last year and it makes sense because the trees don't look too old.
I remember this like it was yesterday
That's because it was yesterday. Time is relative.
It was fairly recent.
I was about 3 when this tornado happened, I was sleeping in my sisters room, I woke up, and it was pretty close. I was calm.
I was 4 years old in Alabama. I have never seen a large tornado in downtown Atlanta
This wasn't a tornado
This is from 2008...
Yes 2008, I was 18 ready to Graduate High School in Birmingham, Alabama at Huffman High School.
Jesus you people are literal children. I feel old.
I hope 🤞 those people are ok 👌 during the 2008 tornado 🌪
This was the next day? The day after the night of the basketball game at the GA Dome when the tornado hit?
Yes
It was during the game in OT
Man that was one crazy weekend. Me, my wife and daughter had to seek shelter inside of petsmart in douglasville.
@@judsonlindsey7891 I don’t think it was. I was downtown during the one that hit the dome, and it was definitely night time when it happened.
@@gsc2011 if you look at the game the thing where it says the score and stuff it says overtime
The bright area you see behind the dark rotation is most likely RFD (rear flank downdraft) where strong winds wrap around the mesocycle where they are usually forced downward causing straight-line wind damage behind the tornado
So basically we can actually see the tornado
That's not a tornado. That's a rain shaft.
The tornado had happened the day before, so they forecasted this as one from paranoia.
@@msrkgsaming6324 This wasnt actually a tornado. Just huge RFD gusts with decent inflow a decent way above the surface.
im watching this during a tornado right now
People are confusing this footage with the infamous EF2 tornado that struck downtown Atlanta the previous night. You can clearly hear them discussing the damage from that tornado while they're trying to track whatever this was. Just for reference, the EF2 tornado that struck downtown Atlanta happened near 10 pm and this footage is obviously during the day, further evidenced by the associated warning at the bottom of the screen expiring at 4:15 pm. This doesn't look like a tornado...more like a big rain shaft. I didn't see definite rotation, didn't see debris, didn't see the power flashes that normally come from a twister that big going through an urban area and hitting transformers, etc.....not a whole lotta lightning, either. I think Glen got a little overexcited here.
What people do not understand is that this was the next the day after the tornado hit the ga dome as u can see this was in the afternoon the next day the previous night storm had a confirmed tornado
@@msrkgsaming6324 Uh….isn’t that exactly what I said in my post?
Good thing you aren’t a meteorologist because that last part you wrote is pure stupidity. As someone who lived through this, it was a horrifying situation. Sit down
This was not a tornado; only a rotating cloud.
@@seaboardspastic That's funny because the tornado you're referencing happened at night and you clearly hear them talking about the damage it did the night before in this video. Who's the GD fool now?
@@seaboardspastic as you can see in this video this was the next day the previous night had the ef2 tornado i actually remember hearing about this on the news this is march 15 the tornado happened the night of march 14 this was a Saturday i think
I live in Tunisia. I see many supercell thunderstorms like this one (in structure) . But they very rarely produce a tornado... They produce large sized hail, intense lightning, hurricane force winds and heavy rain...
That's just a rain shaft. No tornado
@@seaboardspastic Gotcha! Yeah, sometimes it's difficult to tell. Not the first time I've been wrong and won't be the last.
That super cell thunderstorm is classic, but pretty small
Most supercells aren’t large, at least not in width
@@SJonesysupercell thunderstorms are dangerous no matter if they're large or small..
I think I got only heavy rain that time
I know that it was a tornado but to me it didn't look like a tornado. But to be fair that tornado look like it was rain waped so obviously I wouldn't be able to tell unless I see the clouds going around and around.
It isn't a tornado. It's a rain shaft.
The actual EF2 tornado happened the day before this.
I was at a bar in midtown Atlanta when that hit. The patio doors blew open and the power went out. It started flooding in the bar as water from the storm was blowing off the large patio into the bar. When they finally did let us back into downtown where I worked we had to leave again as windows damaged during the tornado would fall out in broad daylight because of the winds. You would be waking around and you would feel something hit your head and it would be a piece of glass. There were scaffold covered sidewalks with plywood on top for months after that. Skyscrapers had wood covered windows for weeks and months.
2008 was one of worst years in GA and three years before was no better...It was stormy as hell....i think it was the year we had tornado outbreaks on mother's day and it was night time during majority the action well at least here in central GA...So that was fun strong winds; lost power and dead of night;
NO NO WE in madison Georgia had a tornado warning 2020 and all the storms had pasts and the decided to set the sirens on
I was in Houston but I live it in Atlanta
Okay?
@@seaboardspastic sir no🙄 no one asked 🤠
They said okay because you never finished the story so don't get mad at them.
Okay??
@@toobusygettinpaid it was 4 years ago 😃😐
Yeah, this is a gust front. Not a tornado. At all.
It was a tornado.
DasBubba No...it wasn’t.
@@erickchurch5390 It was. It was confirmed by the National Weather Service. It was apart of an outbreak that hit much of North Georgia.
It doesn't look like a tornado because it's shrouded in rain and darkness. But, while it may not have the typical wedge shape, it is a tornado.
DasBubba Please direct me to the NWS survey on it.
DasBubba Where on here is it? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Atlanta_tornado_outbreak
Hi Glenn Burns! I’m Gene Grenekers granddaughter and he knows you and I think you know him
I got hail where I lived and strong winds and thunder and lightning
I mean was that an actual Tornado? Wall cloud with heavy rain. Not really seeing rotation
Yea it was a rain wrapped tornado
@@MalibuGaming35 No, it was only a rain shaft. People were on edge after the previous night in Atlanta had brought the first recorded tornado in downtown.
there was a tornado in 2016. It all started in the morning when i heard sirens so i didn't know if it was a drill because i didn't really know much about tornadoes in 5th grade. So the sirens woke me up and thats when i realized its a tornado siren i looked outside i saw the funnel forming so i went downstairs to see if anyone was up so we can get to shelter but i was the only one awake. I rushed back up to my room looked outside again it was a full tornado in front of my eyes. I went under my covers and prayed then the sirens cut off. This was a very creepy moment let me know if anyone had a experience like mines....
Im late but maybe it was god saving u or a mind freak out
@@ghostygames1637 It's called a tornado warning, which is a super cell with cyclonic activity. It is most definitely not supernatural or ethereal.
It's funny how everybody says they 'remember this tornado' as it came through Atlanta, except this was the day after the tornado event, and that cloud is just a rain shaft and not an actual tornado.
I was I think 9 when this happened. This was in 2009, if I remember correctly, and my theory is that the people at Georgia Dome would have died, if the Mississippi State-Alabama basketball game had not gone to OT
TheZombieWolf94 that was 2008
Alex Morris Damn, I was young then lol
TheZombieWolf94 2000?
I was ten years old going on eleven that year im 21 now damn
That looks scary
Holy crap🌪🌪
I was at home and we were under a watch
I remember this I was 13 at the time it was wild
I had just recently moved from the Midwest to College Park to get away from tornadoes in February of that year 😂
That looks very bad
DOES THE GUYS JUST STAY HERE COVERING THIS STUFF WITHOUT THINKING OF THEIR SAFETY
I've actually been in WSB-TV's station for a Field Trip, their station is not only 2-stories high at best with a basement (and is located in the outskirts of North Atlanta), they have a Tornado procedure to where if the tornado gets within a certain radius, the broadcasts projected will stay on the air in shelter as their microphones have long-distance bluetooth connections.
@@seaboardspastic ohh ok, sorry for being late to reply lmao 😹
I was 11 at my nanas
I rembwr this day i was young i forget how old i was hut luckily we didnt get a tornado that day but we did get a thunderstorm but where my dad was (Portsmouth va) he said he got some of the tornado i rember seeing dark clouds while i was looking out the window in Atlanta
What cam was this captured on?
A toaster
Atlanta TowerCam in 2008.
This was not a tornado
I was at Huffman High School Birmingham, Alabama about to got out with a BANG Class of 2008.
k. Move on with your life, I have.
wow that cool
How do they know this was a tornado? You can't even see it! If it is one, it's rain wrapped, so it's hard to tell.
Big Money's Life I live in Atlanta, and I remember the damage..might as well have been one even if you can’t see it. They’re experts, that’s how they know.
Its called radar.
@@po2313 don't forget eyes and Warnings
Literally i was 1 when this happened
So was i.
Lmao y’all some young niggas.
No u
I was there when that happened
it looks rain wrapped
That's exactly what I was going to say.
@@BigMoneysLife this is a rainwrapped tornado
I was at the stadium too scary asl
this tornado likely could have killed hundreds. there was a game between 2 basketball teams in the ncaa tournament. id mykale riley didnt hit thr shot, thousands would have been exposed
The tornado u talking about hit the previous night
omg
Seems like there would be some transformer explosions if a tornado was moving through a city; I don't see any such explosions here. Also do not see any rotation in contact with the ground (though may be rain-wrapped).
its bc the tornado is far away u wont be able to see it
@@losers6176 that's cause the Supercell or wall cloud has Rainwrapped the tornado and it's bright daytime Or something
I see absolutely no spin. That’s a gust front... they over did it
I live here in Atlanta and that tornado ruined lots of homes and buildings....
Lady Au-tumn Ra that’s all well and good; but THAT PARTICULAR PART OF THE STORM IN THIS VIDEO WAS NOT THE TORNADO... that doesn’t even have the structure of a tornadic portion of a supercell... it has the structure of the leading edge of a squall line. Tornadoes usually occur on the southwestern edge of the parent supercell; forming the classic hook echo on radar... I bet if you look at the records from that storm you will see a bow echo and not a hook echo. The squall line probably had an imbedded tornado but that is not it. That is a gust front with a rain shaft . If that were the rotating part of the supercell it would have mesocyclonic characteristics; it would be rotating counterclockwise( in very rare cases clockwise), feature a wall cloud and probably an inflow tail; and show striations from the rotating winds. Look up the May 31, 2013 El Reno tornado and you will see what a rotating storm looks like. Or send me your email address and I’ll send you a pic of a rotating mesocyclone that I took with my iPhone
Lady Au-tumn Ra further more; you are probably thinking about the tornado that hit the night before. I just looked up the NWS and NOAA records for that day and no tornadoes were confirmed in Fulton, Clayton, Dekalb, Cobb, nor Gwinnett... and btw I used to live in Atlanta as a kid and still have lots of family there. Matter fact I was just there three weeks ago
Nope, it was a tornado. I lived near the Georgia Dome during the tornado and my home was damaged. I was there, not simply watching the news.
Lady Au-tumn Ra just because your home was damaged does not mean it was a tornado lady. Our home in Roswell, GA lost its roof in a severe thunderstorm...Homes get damaged in severe NON TORNADIC thunderstorms by straight line winds and microbursts. I’ve seen a derecho cause damage that people thought was a tornado. It sounded like a tornado; it sheared the tops off trees like a tornado, but it wasn’t a tornado...When you try to battle you should come equipped
i was born in a hospital in downtown atlanta while this was happening
Yeah, and I was born yesterday.
@@lapis591 /srs i was
bro i dont kno bout every body else but i dont want to see old news from 8 year ago what are u trying to trick people to get views
+Donwan Demarko hey Donwan. We found this amazing video in our archives and thought it would be great to share with our RUclips followers. We'll be looking for more vintage video so that we can provide a historic perspective to some of the major events that have taken place in the Atlanta area.
WSB-TV Ignore him... The rest of us love this and would love more!! Ty very much for posting these!
