    People underestimate the power of this storm. No house could survive 200+ mph winds

    construction quality would have been of little consequense in a tornado of this magnitude. Ef-5's simply obliviate any wooden frame structure. (Most brick structures as well)

    The National Weather Service classified this tornado as an EF5...with wind speeds just over 200 mph.

    @ProfessorIgor 11 лет назад +4

    they can destroy thin concrete walls because of the debris that is thrown out. F5's throw cars and trucks HUNDREDS of meters.. they can (and have) thrown RAIL cars !! You better have one hell of a reinforced concrete structure to protect you from that..

    • @jmtardogno
      @jmtardogno 4 года назад

      According to the EF scale, EF5 damage is total. Even the most reinforced structures we build are not capable of withstanding an EF5 tornado, which this twister was classified as by the NWS.

    Wow. I'm a storm freak and this video is REALLY something to see. I pray for the people who might have been inside the home during this tornado - perhaps in the basement - that they survived and were uninjured. Heartbreaking to see their house & possessions being destroyed right in front of our eyes. Does anyone out there have ANY information on the owners of the house??
    Here in Eastern Pennsylvania, we never get storms even close to that.

    One tornado of similar strength to this one lifted a well anchored brick house off its foundation. The entire house was thrown and disintegrated in mid air.

  • @CyrusNixes
    @CyrusNixes 16 лет назад +1

    The video cut off long before the center of the tornado passed over. Even so, it looks to me like those last gusts that are clearly visible have to be over 200mph. I think this new EF scale greatly underestimates tornado windspeeds.

    We here in the Philadelphia area are very aware of the devastating flooding you folks in Iowa are experiencing. It is all over our news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in Iowa who have lost everything - and I'm sure I speak for people all over the country who feel the same. We count ourselves lucky that we have been spared this devastation here in the east - but we always remember that there is no guarantee of safety anywhere.

    @xensxtreme
    F2 damage is the removal of the roof and would be surprised if many of you buildings had stone roofs.
    An F3 can collapse brick walls as well as wood frame ones. I don't think stone would fare much better.

    • @granddaddykaddy1788
      @granddaddykaddy1788 4 года назад

      This was the Parkersburg Iowa EF5 I believe so no house really stood a chance against it. But yeah we got hit by an EF2 Halloween night like a week ago and it ripped the roofs off of maybe a dozen houses around here. Expensive homes too, but built recently so probably not as sturdy as homes constructed awhile back with brick and what have you

    • @lhaviland8602
      @lhaviland8602 4 года назад

      This was an EF5, you can tell because the pieces get pulled up and carried away rather than just blowing over in a pile.

    KCRG-TV News has this video up on their website, and in the story it says "The man who lives here didn't want to say anything about the video, but once again, he is doing fine and preparing to move on." It looks like he's doing okay, thank goodness, but what a shame for him to have lost his home this way.

  • @dragonridley
    @dragonridley 14 лет назад

    @CyrusNixes
    The worst of the tornado didn't hit this part of town. Only a relatively narrow portion of the tornado's path produced EF5 damage. The bank from which this footage was taken took EF2/EF3 damage so winds would have peaked at about 135 mph.

    So such a house could probably fare fairly well in a low to moderate EF3, but a high end EF3 or stronger would still probably inflict serious damage.

    You are so right, and I'll add one more comment I feel people get a false since of security with tornadoes because of these so called structures that can withstand large wedge tornadoes. thats a dangerous attitude the fastest recorded tornado was 318mph and you better believe there will be a much stronger tornado than that! so no matter what stucture your in or it's rating as far as wind. when a large tornado comes your way ya better find a basement and increase your odds of survival!!!!

Neptune has 1500+ mph winds! If you were floating still in Neptune's clouds, your whole body would break the sound barrier if you were in those winds! Those storms make the storms on Earth look like calm weather!

Which is why they literally think their pile of rocks could stand up to a storm that was rated 69 times as strong as the bomb that hit Hiroshima.
