    As a fan of "Top Tenz" and having noticed how many lists in the past Karl wrote that Simon ended up reading in the past........ I was waiting for when he was gonna end up doing a list he himself wrote in a sheer moment of internet fun-ness.
    Today I was not disappointed.

      Personally I don't understand how you can dislike Karl, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I find him entertaining and interesting. I already watched Karl on his own stuff as well as Simon everywhere he is, and continue to do so, I just get more Karl now!

      @@dcabner1 also to be considered, these channels were never run by Simon, he was also merely a presenter. Any changes that came with the change of presenter may also have some fault by the people running the show after the passing of the original channel "owner" and a family member took over.
      So by and large all the changes you may not like, may not all be due to Karl but rather the change in leadership/command (edit: as well, i should have said "leadership/command as well" to say both may be at fault for whatever you're not liking)

      I remember after Hurricane Rita, we were evaluated to the Jackson Mississippi area, I was around 14 at the time. The storm had spawned a troupe of tornadoes off of its northeast wall. I was just mesmerized, standing in the parking lot, watching what seemed like a dozen spinning ballerinas dancing around me. My mom literally had to drag me inside - I was absolutely entranced by them. Thankfully, they weren't super destructive or anything (FEMA already had their hands full), but I don't think I'll ever forget how memorizing they were.

    With the tri state tornado outbreak it is thought one tornado hit 3 states. More recently that has been questioned, but 1 tornado hitting 3 states has been the main story.

      Yeah looked at it and that seems to be the case. I live in SW Indiana and it looks like it hit maybe less than an hour north of me. Started In Missouri then across Illinois into indiana. The 6 states was the coverage of the storm with hail and few smaller tornadoes across the area. But the one big tornado went across three states.

    • @Hollylivengood
      @Hollylivengood 3 месяца назад

      That's what they thought at the time, because they didn't know multiple tornadoes could spawn from the same system. I read that recently they figured there were actually seven. Makes sense, since lately we see sometimes 300 tornadoes from one system. Pretty wild.

    Interesting about the storm and the American Revolution. A powerful storm on August 24 1814 caused the British troops to leave Washington DC...and put out the fires. Some meteorologists theorize that the 'burning' may have contributed to that storm.

    The Tri-State Tornado Outbreak is called such because of one tornado, the Tri-State Tornado of 1925 which set records for time on the ground, distance traveled, and death toll. All of those records except the death toll were broken by the Quad-State Tornado of 2021.

    I also personally would have added the Jarrell "Dead Man Walking" tornado to the list; at the least an honorable mention cause, wow; that thing was so weird! Or the 2013 El Reno "monster"; a tornado that was 2.6 miles wide.
