I went out to visit a friend in North Nashville the night the tornado hit. I had to take shelter in a gas station. Thankfully it moved about a mile north of where I was. That was a terrifying night. Quarter sized hail, the largest I've seen in my life.
This series is how I found your channel. Thank god I did because there are so many awesome videos that you have made. I've spent a lot of time binging your videos now in preparation for whatever Wyoming's storm season is
I think it would be interesting to see some traces of brazilian tornadoes, the one in Guariaçaba on 09/07/2009 was very severe, and before reaching the Brazilian side, it crossed an area of forests in Argentina. Another very strong, but strangely given a maximum rating of F2, was the Muitos Capões tornado on 08/29/2005, he was able to demolish concrete structures. An there are also other more famous (in Brazil) ones, such as an F4 tornado that hit Indaiatuba on 05/24/2005, and the F3 Xanxerê tornado in 04/20/2015.
LaPlata… a buddy and I left his dad’s weekend place near Front Royal, VA and got stopped by hail on route 17. There was a huge cumulonimbus to the east, lots of mammatus clouds visible. I’m a skywarn spotter and I told him something bad had to be happening. An hour later back at his house in Fredericksburg we saw breaking news of the tornado that had just struck LaPlata MD. Terribly tragic.
Nashville resident here. I witnessed the Nashville tornado facing westward from my apartment and watched it pass over the John C. Tune airport before I had to shelter with my roommate. It missed our location by less than a quarter mile. And yes we are still bummed about Soda Parlor not reopening. We still dearly miss it!
I remember taking cover from that Springfield tornado. I lived a town over and remember watching that tornado cross the river on the news going generally westward then thinking "Oh wait, I'M generally westward" and going to the basement. Happy to see it on this list. You can still clearly see the damage in a lost of places in person too.
I have two further suggestions for this. 1: Wadena, Minnesota tornado on June 2010 (4/2011 on Google Earth history), this tornado was "featured" in the season 4 'finale' of Stormchasers. 2: Memorial day 2019 EF4 tornado in Dayton, Ohio. Now, this one is a bit tricky to see and follow due to what appears to be cloud cover. Go back to 5/2019, and look at "Dayton Phoenix Group", around Old North Dayton.
I'll take a look at Wadena! As for Dayton, that's one of the outbreaks that is getting its own video in a couple weeks, so I'll go over the damage path then
I live in Albuquerque, we don't get tornados at all. One day in 1985 however we got what I would consider is the strangest tornado ever. A large tornado estimated to be a Ef 1 or 2 touched down near the fairgrounds and made its way north, tearing apart businesses and homes before finally stopping near a mall. Dissipating just after shattering a glass skylight at the mall. It's considered the first and only Tornado in the local Albuquerque area to date.
Was diagnosed with PTSD after the 2011 Springfield mass tornado I was only 5 when it happened but I was in my grandmothers car and the tornado was directly behind us….I still have episodes whenever there is a storm and now I am recovering the best I can….crazy what a tornado can do to someone….
There’s an outbreak going on now potentially near OKC Moore area. Then this weekend we may have some historic mini outbreak for you to come back and analyze. Great video as always.
That Nashville tornado was just north of me by a few hundred feet, and I didn't even know what happened until the power went off, I jolted awake, and started hearing the wind. Amazingly all that happened was shingles torn off the roof at my place.
I live in Arkansas and went to Cabot High School about 15 minutes from the tornado. Our cross country coach took us out to run on a back road one day and we saw the scar. It was surreal.
Decided to post part 3 this week! We got a hail video next week, then two historic May tornado outbreak videos. I'll be gone for a week this month, might only have 3 videos instead of 4 but we'll see
I was in 3rd grade when the tornado hit Louisville, the whole county was in shambles for the next two years. The hospital got it pretty bad and had to be knocked down. A new hospital was built, Georgia Pacific/Winston Plywood and Veneer was rebuilt, and we now have a storm shelter in town. We are still rebuilding from it to this day.
I'm glad you made this series, the first one was how I found your channel. I like the way your videos are structured and the one about identifying clouds was very nice.
I looked forward to this. I took a final, drank a couple beers, graduated, came home, and waited for this. You're doing something right man. I love this channel.
Was not expecting the Massachusetts one to pop up. I live in Connecticut, and just below the town of Sturbridge where the Tornado had ended, I was maybe about 25 minutes from it. I was only about 14 at the time, and even 25 minutes away we were dealing with some freaky weather. I travel through one of the area where the tornado had crossed and you can still see where it had gone through. About 3 years ago we had an EF-1 and an EF-0 roll through my town of Woodstock. It crossed the border and ended in Webster. Also we had another small one that went through Sutton last year. I believe that was an EF-0 as well. Summer is right around the corner so it will be interesting to see what happens this year.
I love how you show the damage on random obscure tornado paths where you can barely see isn’t damage on satellite data, and ignore several of the largest and most destructive naders
Immediately caught my attention with the Springfield tornado, I was at my grandparents house when it happened, it tore off a part of our roof barely missing a direct hit by 2 streets
I went chasing the Springfield tornado, it was crazy. You can still see the trees scarred. Our yard in Worcester had debris in it too. I've lived in Webster the past few years n we've had a few close calls and one that went right thru downtown. A few of the buildings had to be torn down.
I distinctly remember news coverage of the Joplin tornado in 2011 but I only live like an hour south of Springfield and I had never heard of that tornado.
Please do a video on the Michigan tornadoes! No one ever does coverage on us and I just want to learn the history, also I think I drove through and/or super near the most recent tornado in Michigan as well!
I remember driving by Nashville after the tornado. A lot of visible damage from I-40 in east Nashville near the dealership. Several businesses’ signs were messed up as well as interstate signs. In December of that year, between miles 140-160, there were a few tornados that blew down a lot of trees along I-40 too. 60-ish mi W of Nashville.
Fun fact a tornado has ripped through DC before. During the war of 1812 while the British were trashing the place they got blind sided by a pretty mean tornado that ripped through the center of town.
Something interesting about the Nashville tornado that no one seems to talk about. A week or so before, the city cleared out a large homeless community underneath the overpasses by I-24 and US-31E. It created a big uproar because of the homeless displacement, but if they had still been there, the death toll would have been much higher. Obviously, the city didn't know a tornado would hit, but it's still interesting to think about how it was orchestrated.
There's a tornado in Michigan which was involved alongside one other for being abnormally far north and early in the year. The EF-2 Columbiaville, MI tornado on March 12th, 2012 doesn't just have that as a claim for fame as it also had path overlap with the violent Flint-Beecher Tornado and still has visible scar where it had reached high-end EF-2 around Stanley and Carpenter Rd on a Google Earth image which the most recent for the rural area is 2018. It also has a barren patch on Stanley Rd and some properties on Carpenter which were wooded on Landsat in 2011 no longer have trees at all. Edit: Tornadoes really don't like Stanley Rd if Flint-Beecher, Columbiaville, and Louisville, MS all have a Stanley Rd and the tornadoes are strong or violent.
It would be cool to see some coverage on the 2009 Good Friday tornado outbreak that affected Murfreesboro Tennessee. I went through that back when I was a kid and it’s part of the reason I’ve found weather, especially severe weather so interesting. You never see coverage of this event and I think very little people know about it save for people around here.
4:37 4/28/2008. Suffolk, VA Tornado was an EF-3. Began near Elephant's Fork School went through on a diagonal line crossing HWY 58 I664 crossing a number of rivers, hitting the Norfolk Naval Base, then crossing the Chesapeake Bay towards the Eastern Shore but dissipating before landfall.
i absolutely love this series! my apartment in 2018 got hit by a ef3 tornado in 2018 in jacksonville alabama. the most scary thing is that it went over the moutians near by and kept going, i was in awe at the distruction of my neighborhood.
We missed the Moore 1999 tornado by one hour driving south back to Dallas. The radio was going nuts, they sky looked like death. It was aweful to hear about it afterwards.
About three months late to this video, but the Springfield MA tornado went less than 100 yards behind my grandfathers house, in Monson, in fact a house ,just a few away from my grandfathers house, was flipped onto its roof.
I was just a tot when 22 news came on and showed the ef-3 crossing the Connecticut River, my dad screamed at my mom to get to the basement and thankfully we weren't harmed. The actual scary thing is you could hear the roar from the basement, we didn't get harmed or damaged but a few blocks away it was terrific.
I remember hearing about the Springfield MA tornado in passing from my dad. He was anxious about traveling out to visit family on the Cape with the tornado so recent - it's why we delayed our trip by several months. Problem was, we then went in August instead and got there just in time for Hurricane Irene 😂
These are great videos! You should do one showing the devastation of wildfires. One that comes to mind that hits close to home is the Rodeo-Chediski fire in Heber-Overgaard, AZ. If you look at the before and after, you'll see the almost 500,000 acres that burned, and 20 years later how much of the forest hasn't grown back still. The Crown King fire is another one where a decade removed and it's still barren in large swaths of the forest.
I remember the Nashville one. I had texted my father who has done storm chasing about the weather we were getting in southwestern ky that night and he had said smth about the chance of tornados being lower bc convection or whatever w it being night. Remember waking up and hearing about the nashville one and texting him like so what was thay about no tornadoes tonight?
As you drive through Mayflower, you can still see aluminium pieces from the Interstate's side bumpers embedded in trees 15 to 20 feet off the ground way back off the road.
At 14:12 My brother works at an Under Armour distribution center and he said it looked like the tornado hit every building (or at least had some damage) except for his workplace
That story about the cardboard door is really so sad. Imagine thinking you're safe inside your shelter only for the door to be made of the wrong material.
That sucks. I thought it sucked that that school was destroyed right before they finished it which is why I recommended that tornado to him. But now that he actually included it in a video I found out something pretty sad. That reminds me of the story from jarrel where some people in a mobile home went to a proper house just for the house to be destroyed and the mobile home to be fine. Yeah they didn’t make it either. That stuff seriously sucks. If somehow souls or whatever are real those people would be so disappointed to find out how they died. That’s the most annoying way to die. These storms are jerks.
I have an aunt and uncle that live in Monson by Lake Paradise. My aunt's account of it was terrifying as it just passed north of the lake. She legitimately thought it would pass over them. Thankfully they were spared.
Can you see if google earth shows anything with the Andover, KS tornado that just happened in April? It was one of the most documented tornadoes I can remember. First time since 1991 my hometown was hit. Or the Wichita/Oaklawn tornado back in 2012. That’s the one that solidified my goal of becoming a meteorologist
I was in 1st grade when I was in Maryland during the La Plata Tornado just about 30-45 minutes south from it. But the scarring of the tornado is gone from Google Earth by 2021. It's not really a tornado much talk about other than those who lived through it in Maryland at the time.
My school's sports fields are right next to the area of the Cumberland river where the Nashville tornado hit, it was crazy to see all of the debris later in the week. I live south of Nashville, so I was completely unaware of the Tornado until the morning!
Soundings are one of the most annoying things my brain struggles to get around, I watched your instability video and its starting to make sense, slightly lol. Tornado Forensics has a very detailed video on the Smithville 27/4/211 tornado featuring before and after satelite imagery of its entirety. A huge source of information is Johnny Parker who survived it, send him a message on Twitter he will get back to you in no time.
Thanks for showing the Springfield to Sturbridge tornado! The scar over interstate 84 is still very evident and you can see the almost half mile wide path on a hillside off to the east. So cool! Thanks for these videos. Any other scars in New England?
I wasn't In the Nashville Tornado But I was Very Close to it, I Remember Waking Up To Loud Lighting and Thinking to myself That there's Must be a Bad Tornado Somewhere , and I was Right.
Another good video as always. All these tornadoes were super impressive and as a Marylander, I remember the la plata tornado as being the only violent tornado to hit Maryland
Ironically it isnt even the only deadly tornado to hit La Plata specifically. I’ve been basically an LP resident my whole life so I’ve learned the history of the town and county quite well. Back in November 1926 another supposed F4 hit the town and killed 17 (13 school children, 4 adults) and injured over 35. It mainly isn’t remembered cause the town back then was still considerably smaller than it was when this storm went through and it was before the F/EF rating system was adopted so the F4 rating is just a rough estimate, plus anyone who’d remember that storm is long gone by now. But Southern Maryland specifically has quite a history with tornadoes. We probably get between 5-15, sometimes 20 weak tornadoes that touch down in the southern 3 counties every year but it’s so rural down here that they rarely cause considerable damage and mainly go through farmland or forest areas since theres so few places that are heavily populated and those are all pretty spread out. But even when they do hit neighborhoods its mainly just light damage to roofs and trees. I live 30 mins south of La Plata and there’s been multiple weak tornadoes that have touched down within just under 5 miles from my house over the years. Hell, I was almost caught in one in Charlotte Hall on the border of Charles and St. Mary’s counties just a few weeks ago while I was driving home and I ended up driving a route in that tornadoes path the next day for work and it was still a lot of damage, although mainly to trees. The threat for these storms is still very much alive down here and the people here are likely not gonna forget what that storm was like for a LONG time
I live in Connecticut at the time of the Massachusetts tornado in June of 2011 and my mom could hear thunder but she told me that the thunder kept on rumbling for a at least a few minutes or so
13:25 this one affected Autism Tennessee, also there on Woodland Street you're looking at on streetview (can see in your footage). I also visited Germantown to see the damage there.
I was thinking today to comment and ask you to do the mayflower/vilonia tornado. Crazy you were already on it lol. I’m from the area so after finding your videos I found the damage path myself but you nailed it being able to go back in years. Awesome video!!
Can you do the 2009 Murfreesboro Tennessee ef4 tornado please? I happened near Spring Hill which was where I lived at the time. If the tornado touched down earlier I could have devasted my neighborhood.
I know people who work as taxi/Uber/etc drivers who said driving through the debris in 6/1/11 was like a warzone, I've had it described as something you'd see after April 27 or May 3rd, that stuff doesn't happen in Mass. However. I did find coverage of the event and got told the end of May/start of June is always bad around the Pioneer Valley, which kind of freaks me out
Love your channel man! But hey I’m curious, wasn’t there a spot in the US where 3 tornadoes did cross paths in the same spot? Obviously not at the same time but I could’ve sworn something like that happened. Also May The 4th be with you!
I chased the La Plata Maryland tornado it was definitely a interesting one and my first tornado to ever chase and see first hand I still have a photo of it I took to this day sitting in the main hall of my high school
May 8 2003 I was working at I-35 and 19th St in Moore, OK. I left work to take my then husband our only car. At this time I hated driving I-35 home since I lived in Del City and would take Sunnylane Rd. or Sooner Rd. down to Moore and back home. My then husband was at work at I-40 and Sooner Rd. in MWC. As I drove north on Sunnylane Rd. I stopped at SE 89th St. at a stop sign (now light) and watched the tornado a 1/8 away from me take out a building, crossing Sunnylane Rd. moments before taking out Bancfirst at I-240 and Sooner and then hitting the GM Plant. Only lived in Oklahoma for 6 years at the time. Little did I know then that 6 years later I would then beginning chasing them. Since 2009 I have been a trained storm spotter for the NWS out of Norman.
1:55 shows the Tuscaloosa tornado not the Springfield tornado, editing mistake sorry y'all
That explains a lot.
You should check out the March 1, 2007 Enterprise, AL tornado path.
Two suggestions:
1. 2012 Bory Tucholskie tornado.
2. August 11th 2017 storm scar in Bory Tucholskie.
Was gonna say, I don’t remember the tornado looking the big lol.
July 19, 2018 Marshalltown IA EF3 Tornado torn through Town destroying the City Court, Historic buildings, Homes and Business
I went out to visit a friend in North Nashville the night the tornado hit. I had to take shelter in a gas station. Thankfully it moved about a mile north of where I was. That was a terrifying night. Quarter sized hail, the largest I've seen in my life.
It was just a few blocks from my house. All the windows were vibrating. It was not something I want to experience again.

2: Memorial day 2019 EF4 tornado in Dayton, Ohio. Now, this one is a bit tricky to see and follow due to what appears to be cloud cover. Go back to 5/2019, and look at "Dayton Phoenix Group", around Old North Dayton.
I'll take a look at Wadena! As for Dayton, that's one of the outbreaks that is getting its own video in a couple weeks, so I'll go over the damage path then

You don't see tornadoes often and they need flat land
1985? No Satilite Imagery! (Maybe).

Love these videos! I need more videos from you please!
Btw the tornado started in walthall county and all hell broke lose after that

As someone who survived the Bassfield tornado, feels like it could’ve been considered for EF5
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the Jarrell tornado. I've never seen photos of damage that compare
I think you should showcase the EF-3 tornado that hit Mullica Hill, NJ on Sep. 1st, 2021, which is about 15-25 minutes from where I live.
We missed the Moore 1999 tornado by one hour driving south back to Dallas. The radio was going nuts, they sky looked like death. It was aweful to hear about it afterwards.
it's crazy because there were multiple tornados in Oklahoma today when you put this video out.

I’m in Mass and remember June 1st 2011 very well.
I have an aunt and uncle that live in Monson by Lake Paradise. My aunt's account of it was terrifying as it just passed north of the lake. She legitimately thought it would pass over them. Thankfully they were spared.
Can you see if google earth shows anything with the Andover, KS tornado that just happened in April? It was one of the most documented tornadoes I can remember. First time since 1991 my hometown was hit. Or the Wichita/Oaklawn tornado back in 2012. That’s the one that solidified my goal of becoming a meteorologist
I was in 1st grade when I was in Maryland during the La Plata Tornado just about 30-45 minutes south from it. But the scarring of the tornado is gone from Google Earth by 2021. It's not really a tornado much talk about other than those who lived through it in Maryland at the time.
this is now one of my favorite weather channels after finding recently, love it and keep up the good work!
My school's sports fields are right next to the area of the Cumberland river where the Nashville tornado hit, it was crazy to see all of the debris later in the week. I live south of Nashville, so I was completely unaware of the Tornado until the morning!
I wish I could warrant having google earth pro. I love watching you use it.
I’m glad you’re continuing this series- it’s what brought me to this channel and I’ve loved the rest of the content. Tornado content sells on yt
Another tornado is Henryville, IN
The town was pretty small and it got hit directly
I have a lot of suggestions. April 30, 2022 Andover KS EF3, 2013 Hattiesburg MS EF4, 2011 Cullman AL EF4, and the 2021 Naperville IL EF3.
Soundings are one of the most annoying things my brain struggles to get around, I watched your instability video and its starting to make sense, slightly lol. Tornado Forensics has a very detailed video on the Smithville 27/4/211 tornado featuring before and after satelite imagery of its entirety. A huge source of information is Johnny Parker who survived it, send him a message on Twitter he will get back to you in no time.
Please make this a playlist!
Love the channel, love the content! Could you do a video on microbursts please?
I live in Mississippi and I was there for both the Louisville tornado and the Twin Easter tornadoes
Thanks for showing the Springfield to Sturbridge tornado! The scar over interstate 84 is still very evident and you can see the almost half mile wide path on a hillside off to the east. So cool! Thanks for these videos. Any other scars in New England?
I mean west.
I wasn't In the Nashville Tornado But I was Very Close to it, I Remember Waking Up To Loud Lighting and Thinking to myself That there's Must be a Bad Tornado Somewhere , and I was Right.
13:56 "The tornado narrowly missed a target" Why is this so funny?
The May 8th 2003 Moore tornado was an F4.
Another good video as always. All these tornadoes were super impressive and as a Marylander, I remember the la plata tornado as being the only violent tornado to hit Maryland
Ironically it isnt even the only deadly tornado to hit La Plata specifically. I’ve been basically an LP resident my whole life so I’ve learned the history of the town and county quite well. Back in November 1926 another supposed F4 hit the town and killed 17 (13 school children, 4 adults) and injured over 35. It mainly isn’t remembered cause the town back then was still considerably smaller than it was when this storm went through and it was before the F/EF rating system was adopted so the F4 rating is just a rough estimate, plus anyone who’d remember that storm is long gone by now. But Southern Maryland specifically has quite a history with tornadoes. We probably get between 5-15, sometimes 20 weak tornadoes that touch down in the southern 3 counties every year but it’s so rural down here that they rarely cause considerable damage and mainly go through farmland or forest areas since theres so few places that are heavily populated and those are all pretty spread out. But even when they do hit neighborhoods its mainly just light damage to roofs and trees. I live 30 mins south of La Plata and there’s been multiple weak tornadoes that have touched down within just under 5 miles from my house over the years. Hell, I was almost caught in one in Charlotte Hall on the border of Charles and St. Mary’s counties just a few weeks ago while I was driving home and I ended up driving a route in that tornadoes path the next day for work and it was still a lot of damage, although mainly to trees. The threat for these storms is still very much alive down here and the people here are likely not gonna forget what that storm was like for a LONG time
These might be the best/coolest weather/tornado videos I have seen.
Gotta make this a series I’ve loved every one so far!
13000+ vehicles at the Manheim lot in Nashville when it got hit by that ef4 😮
Greetings!! WOW Your channel is FANTASTIC. What program/s do you use to create your content?
I live in Connecticut at the time of the Massachusetts tornado in June of 2011 and my mom could hear thunder but she told me that the thunder kept on rumbling for a at least a few minutes or so
You should do a video with January 22,2017 Albany Ga EF3, it even hit a Marine Corps base
13:25 this one affected Autism Tennessee, also there on Woodland Street you're looking at on streetview (can see in your footage). I also visited Germantown to see the damage there.
So, interesting not-so-fun fact: There is Streetview images of damage from the Greensburg, Kansas EF5 from 2007 in standard google maps.
I was thinking today to comment and ask you to do the mayflower/vilonia tornado. Crazy you were already on it lol. I’m from the area so after finding your videos I found the damage path myself but you nailed it being able to go back in years. Awesome video!!
Had a friend survive the storm in Mt. Juliet Tenn. about where that Amazon facility is.
I have a suggestion for tornado damage. How about the north dallas tornado in 2019. There is a clear path of the tornado.
Looking forward to seeing these videos every week, keep it up!
Can you do the 2009 Murfreesboro Tennessee ef4 tornado please? I happened near Spring Hill which was where I lived at the time. If the tornado touched down earlier I could have devasted my neighborhood.
Meant to say it instead of I
In the next tornado damage paths can you do the December 26 2015 rowlett tornado
my grandparents house was destroyed in the mayflower tornado, they live right beside the interstate
Will you be doing a video on the most recent tornado outbreak in Kansas?
I think this channel is my new addiction.
Please do a video on the 1993 Petersburg colonial heights Virginia f4 since it was the strongest tornado in Virginia 🌪️
Eatonton, GA F4 damage path can easily be seen on 1993 imagery as well as Dunwoody, GA F2 tornado on 1998 imagery.
Minneapolis tornado generic suggestion maybe Bucca or Oakhurst for another non USA tornado 👀
8:00 was a chicken farm. They’re very common in the area. The white debris is chicken feathers.
The mayflower storm structure reminds me a lot of the mayfield tornado.
Great videos man 👊
I know people who work as taxi/Uber/etc drivers who said driving through the debris in 6/1/11 was like a warzone, I've had it described as something you'd see after April 27 or May 3rd, that stuff doesn't happen in Mass.
However. I did find coverage of the event and got told the end of May/start of June is always bad around the Pioneer Valley, which kind of freaks me out
Love your channel man! But hey I’m curious, wasn’t there a spot in the US where 3 tornadoes did cross paths in the same spot? Obviously not at the same time but I could’ve sworn something like that happened.
Also May The 4th be with you!
There is a spot with 3 tornado paths in Moore, Oklahoma.
You're thinking of Tanner Alabama, hit by 2 F5's during the 1974 super outbreak, within 30 mins of each other and the Phil Campbell-Hackleburg EF5
I chased the La Plata Maryland tornado it was definitely a interesting one and my first tornado to ever chase and see first hand I still have a photo of it I took to this day sitting in the main hall of my high school
May 8 2003 I was working at I-35 and 19th St in Moore, OK. I left work to take my then husband our only car. At this time I hated driving I-35 home since I lived in Del City and would take Sunnylane Rd. or Sooner Rd. down to Moore and back home. My then husband was at work at I-40 and Sooner Rd. in MWC. As I drove north on Sunnylane Rd. I stopped at SE 89th St. at a stop sign (now light) and watched the tornado a 1/8 away from me take out a building, crossing Sunnylane Rd. moments before taking out Bancfirst at I-240 and Sooner and then hitting the GM Plant. Only lived in Oklahoma for 6 years at the time. Little did I know then that 6 years later I would then beginning chasing them. Since 2009 I have been a trained storm spotter for the NWS out of Norman.
Tornado in Massachusetts is crazy 🙃
