A number of years ago a winds expert at an Oklahoma university created a home that was able to withstand 300 mph winds and it was all over the news when released. I do not know what happened to that product. Yet we continue to see tornado & hurricane damage that destroys wooden structures. And they rebuild using the same materials and then the cycle starts all over again waiting for the next storm. A German posted on my channel that in Germany they build structures out of stone and high winds pose little problems for them. So why are we not building structures that withstand these terrible storms ? I am so sorry for the people all over Oklahoma, Texas & Nebraska who have lost everything including lives. And I am not ignoring their plight but am asking why we are not more proactive to help prevent or mitigate this kind of damage in future storm areas.
Money, basically. How expensive is it to build these houses compared to that other house? How difficult is it to manufacture the materials of that better house? etc.. it only ever comes down to money, and not long-term. But just the immediate cost of building, materials, and then selling the house. But that said, I am 100% with you. You see this and it's like, ya know, humans are stupid. I always think the same thing: Why rebuild with the same old tinder boxes.
Because under American capitalism, innovation to save lives means nothing. Lives don't mean anything to capitalism. Profiteering is the only thing that has value.
1. Knowledge of building options 2. Price of construction 3. Regional Building codes being shamefully out of date 4. Politics. These are what prevent progress in sustainable weather resistant structures.
@@jaredchilders3781 that plus our absolute death grip on staying reactionary and never proactive. For example: how many decades have we been warned on climate change?? Business as usual will continue until the power goes out for good. But back on topic, God help these people and may he lighten their steps on the arduous path they will have to walk to rebuild.
You could go on to say why even choose to live in these areas that are tornado prone? One thing for certain, I would invest in a storm shelter. Let insurance build me a new house each time it gets hit.
You either rebuild or move elsewhere. In Deale, Md. when I was a small child a hurricane hit and our house SANK into the ground as the developer had put all of the foundations on top of sand. There was a huge class action suit brought by the homeowners and the insurance company paid everyone and the developer declared bankruptcy and never built another project because no one would trust him to build anything. This would have been in 1955. I am now 72 and live in California and I still remember the winds and the howling as we sat huddled in the darkness and I fear tornadoes and hurricanes far more than earthquakes. My parents got their money and we moved to Pittsburgh, then Washington, DC then San Francisco. My Father had wanderlust and my Mother kept moving with him until it stopped when he died and she lived in San Francisco from 1970 until she died in 2014 at 94. She lived in a tiny apartment for 27 years. He was in the Army for 17 years and was a veteran of pre WWII, Pearl Harbor, North Africa, Sicily, D Day, the Bulge, was a cook & cooked for generals including Patton and he was in 3rd Army, was in the occupation of Germany in Bavaria where he met my Mother, returned to the state in 1950 and was sent to Korea and then he retired and was recalled to active duty during the Cuban Missle Crisis where he told my Mother that if the sirens went off atop our apartment building in DC about 2 miles from the White House that she and I would have 15 minutes to live. He was a master sgt. and loved being in the Army but had PTSD and had great trouble being a civilian and became an alcoholic but I honor his service ans sacrifice.
In Oklahoma one probably goes through life fairly prepared for a tornadic event sometime throughout their life. Probably the same living on the Atlantic or Gulf coast.
@@jaredchilders3781 You would think that, but I don't know. Even Robin Williams had a bit in his stand-up making fun of Floridians. I won't do it justice, but paraphrased; a hurricane destroys a families home and they're distraught, and say "And we just rebuilt", it's asked "Well how many times do you rebuild?", "Every year!"
People live where there are constant threat of tornadoes need to stop liviing in flimsy mobile and manufactured homes and other poorly constructed structures like large sheds converted to homes and pole barns WITHOUT a storm shelter! ¹190 mph winds trash them with ease. .They need a different building standard where structures can easily stand up to plains tornadoes with winds over 200+ mph winds. Double reinforced concrete. Steel storm panels that can be quickly closed over windows or have bulletproof glass that's shatterproof. Maybe they need to build under ground. Instead of burying storm shelter modules, bury Home modules. Live in earth domes like the Hobbits. Senseless deaths. Stop telling people that don't have a basement/cellar to go to the lowest level of their house and get in the inner most room like a closet or small bathroom or get into the bathtub with mattresses over you. That advice is getting people killed! Theses PDS situation with damaging tornadoes, you NEED to be UNDERGROUND or in your car getting TF "out of Dodge" long before a tornado is even on the ground. No closet gonna save you from an EF 3 or higher UNLESS it's a FEMA rated storm shelter inside the closet, bolted to the reinforced concrete slab your house is sitting on. Gawd dang stoopid. I used to live in a mobile home. When we were under watches and warnings, I stayed with friends with a house had a basement. No excuses for death and injury
@@TrickyVickey @TrickyVickey the way they rate them is weird. They base it off damage done instead of intensity or size. There was one in El Reno May 2013 that was 2.6 miles wide but was only ranked F3. The Moore, OK 2013 tornado was ranked F5, but was so powerful they considered making it the first F6. There was a tornado in far southwest OK in a deserted area a couple weeks ago that was reported to be one of, if not the, strongest recorded. It created an eye like a hurricane on the radar. But, because of the location, they ranked it F1.

Wednesday and even larger area will see this. So if you live in south Missouri Kentucky Tennessee Indiana you may want to leave the area Wednesday, what is getting me is these are F3 gg the damage is awful for an F3, and they are saying Wednesday the chances of F5 are greater
@@karenwright8556 I will definitely pray for all of us. Tomorrow will be the 15 year anniversary of the May 8th 2009 Super derecho that hit us. Im having panic attacks and storm anxiety ever since that day. I was fine before, but going through the first Super derecho changed my life.
Neither, and I say that even as a believer. Even Jesus mentioned a tragedy that happened in those times, a tower in Siloam that fell on 18 people or so and killed them, and he asked "Do you imagine they were greater sinners than anyone else? No!" Then there was the matter of the storm that came close to sinking the boat he and some of the apostles were in on the Sea of Galilee when he was asleep. God didn't send the storm, neither did the Devil, it was just a result of the climate and topography of the area. Same thing here.
Disasters can happen anywhere. Even most people in Tornado Alley will never be hit by a tornado. Now not living by a river I can see as floods are a lot more common and kill more people than tornadoes do.
Das ist ja furchtbar. Die armen Leute. Anscheinend existiert derzeit eine Gewitterfront mit einer Länge von rund 1000 Meilen über dem amerikanischen Kontinent.
@@stroso83 You can see that the trees weren't debarked. They had limbs snapped off from multiple directions as the wind direction changed in the tornado. Some of the limbs were broken by debris impact too. But you can see they still have their bark. And the vehicles weren't mangled One was thrown and impacted on the front end with debris impact damage too, but nat mangled. You can see most of the vehicles were still upright with only some flying debris damage. I maintain EF3 based on all visible in this video. It theres EF4 damage, it isn't visible in this video. I'm commenting on what I see in this video. A high-end EF3 witll throw vehicles around and smash them up. An EF4 will throw them with enough speed that it will mangle them Such effect isn't visible in this video.
@@stroso83 Yes, it looks close, but the key is structural strength. Some small houses are constructed about the same sturdiness as a mobile home, in which case an EF3 will disintegrate them. One house was a small wooden house sitting up on a concrete block skirt. You can see that the house was partly pushed off of the skirting and disintegrated on top of and around the back portion of the skirting. It has a small red compact car sitting on part of the debris pile. The NWS has structural engineers with them on surveys to read the damage from a professional standpoint. As far as I know as of yet I haven't found any articles rating the damage. This tornado may have been an EF4, but the drone apparently missed filming the part of its path where it was. I'm commenting on what I see in this video.
@@davidsul7052 very good! You seem very knowledgeable. I'll defer. Regardless, my thoughts go out to all effected. It was a nasty twister, no doubt about it.

Watched the coverage live last night and teared up when I realized that Barnsdall was in its path a month after taking a hard hit. Bless them.
Oh my dear Lord. Nothing was spared. I worried all night about that area. Those rain wrapped monsters. Please Lord help them recover all.
OMG ware is this
Prayers for the peoples of this town 🙏❤️🩹
Horrifying. All my prayers are with these communities.
@KivuhWTH?
I was watching this storm on radar, the rotation was crazy.
As soon as I saw the debris ball moving right over Barnsdall I prayed. This looks like a low end EF-4 for sure
Saw this thing walk right into town on radar. Very eerie footage. I hope everyone got to safety.
Heartbreaking devastation! 😭

Ef4
idk man could be highend ef4 or low end ef5 cause those are slabs and that first house that foundation was the last thing left!
@@GVgoofs I read the the build quality wasn't high. Not to offend the effected residents.

Didn't sweep foundations clean. Only going to get an EF-3 rating because house walls are still upright.

Neither, and I say that even as a believer.

Tornado Alley runs through the Bible belt. What you make of that is up to you. No Tornados happening on the wicked west coast, I known that.
It's weather. Has nothing to do with your imaginary creations. There are storms on other planets too.
Horrible 😢😢😢 I hope the gov will finally wake up and send help 🙏 Prayers for the people 🙏🙏🙏
Better to have good neighbors and family than to rely on the government.
And FEMA has been sent to Sulpher… so is already there.

Omg.. how on earth do people survive such events.
