View of the March 3, 2020 EF-3 Nashville Tornado at 1240am CST as it passed just north of downtown and the Tennessee State Capitol building
I came face to face with this one.
A glowing green wall of horizontal rain that extended to the sky on Holly and 15th. An image I’ll never forget
Tornados can sneak up on you, i live in a small city just outside of Tulsa, 2 years ago there were no tornados expected that night, out of the blue we had 2 tornados running parallel over town, it was scary.
Believe it or not, I was actually born in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I’m from Alabama we have tornadoes as well born and raised
I lived in Watts then and remember that night.. Crazy night for sure
I hope you guys are ok!
It was just unreal that night. I was awake and asleep when it hit us and I had no idea that there was a huge tornado hitting Nashville at the time though it sounded pretty severe.
I was there too! Luckily the tornado didn’t hit my area, but I was awake for the whole thing. The wind was so strong that the lights inside were flickering on and off. I had no idea back then that it was a tornado, but it was one of the worst storms I’ve ever seen
The Tornado didn’t do enough. I hope the next one flattens the city like a pancake. I look at those cranes and they’re killing the once great town no more.
@@boogitybear2283 wtf
@@boogitybear2283 go away troll
@@boogitybear2283 gentrification joke. Got it. I hate that too, but tornados are not something to wish.
What amazes me is how quiet everything is from this camera location. It looks like there’s just a light breeze with some lightning flashes in the distance. In most tornado videos at that distance from the tornado there is normally large hail falling, or very strong straight line winds. Judging by the noise from this camera you would never guess that there was a strong tornado moving through a major city nearby. It’s kind of spooky how quiet things were from this camera!
Depends what side you are on. Looks like they may have been south.
@@kimm6589 they were on the south. It moved east to west and that’s what you see in the video. I guess the south side is where the less interesting part is because it’s just the hook where the tornado is and zero other rain
@@kimm6589definitely south side of the storm
So I actually got hit by this while at work and we were actually the ones that got hit first as it touched down near us. It caught so many people off guard including the news team so we got the notification 30 seconds before it destroyed the building. We managed to survive by running to the bathrooms. The interesting part? I'm typing this at work right now back at the location that I survived.
Talk about dodging a bullet huh?! :O
You can't even see the tornado making it very scary. You would have to rely on the power flashes to see where it is heading
That's why tornadoes are dangerous at night.
I remember this scary night very well. Where I live, we didn't get any Tornadoes touching down, but we did get a lot of Rain, Wind, as well as Lightning. When I got up the morning of March 3, 2020, our Local News Stations (WKRN (ABC), WSMV (NBC), WTVF (CBS), and WZTV (FOX)) were on the air covering the aftermath of the Tornadoes ALL DAY. And I also remember it was all Sunny outside!
I realized that the cranes were still working. It must be scary to see this thing approaching from a crane cabin and you have nowhere to go...
There were still people driving on the streets, apparently moving in the direction of the tornado. I don't get that!
There is a video of someone watching the tornado from the crane.
Yep, the tornado caught many off guard. It apparently touched down before the warning was even issued, so many had little knowledge of what was happening
@@salvadorricardojimenez5401 you really cant see the tornado at all
@@oxicon how can you not see it if you're facing it's direction? Unless it's only clear on the video.
Welcome to America were nobody gives a flying fuck what is going on. Lol.
First the tornado in 1998 and the one in 2020, stay strong Nashville, TN
About three months ago, we had another mini-outbreak of Tornadoes in Tennessee on December 9, 2023. One of the Tornadoes actually hit about a half mile from my Dad's house. While we didn't have any damage, the power was out for several hours.
My sister was there when it hit. She told me that the sirens didn't sound
The storm that night had very heavy rain and high winds even outside the tornado. They did sound the sirens, and in fact people outside have said they heard them, but if you are inside the rain and wind are going to block the sound waves from reaching you. I have never heard a tornado siren when it was raining even during the weekly tests, except when that siren was literally right behind my building.
@@KermitTheGamer21 Putting on my James Spann suspenders for a moment: Never ever ever rely on an outdoor warning siren to alert you to a tornado. Unless you are outside, you won't hear it. And a storm makes it harder to hear. Get a weatheradio, sign up for alerts on apps on your smartphone, etc. Do not count on a siren to tell you when danger is coming.
That is all.
There wasn't enough time for an alarm. It was too fast
I've read this alot. I live near East Park in Nashville. I heard that siren loud and clear.
@@cllewis1 plus they sound only when the tornado is less than a mile away from you
Wow! I'm more impressed at the crane operators that are still working through that madness.
Living in Missouri I know what it's like to go through the works of a tornado I'm just glad this tornado wasn't like the joplin tornado had a tornado like joplin hit this place or even a tornado like el Reno or moore hit this place there would've been way more deaths than there was main reason why I bring some of these up is because they were extremely deadly tornadoes had the el Reno tornado which was 2.6 miles wide hit this place buildings probably wouldn't even been there especially the big ones I'm glad people are ok from this I get this was quite a while ago but still
It’s funny seeing this again I lived off Jefferson street with my friends and our pets. Right on DBTodd Blvd by Fisk. It was awful the autozone down the street from us was completely leveled. A bunch of houses down the street from us were either completely destroyed or half standing. We didn’t have any power at all for four days using my car to charge our phones. We had to throw everything in the fridge out which is a hard hit for a group of broke college kids, and my job, Panera bread, still wanted me to come in the next day when I couldn’t even get down the road with all the trees and power lines down. It was a terrifying experience!
Crazy to know that somebody is inside that crane. Praying for his life.
There was. There's a short video of him filming the incoming tornado. But thank goodness he didnt get hit. But you can tell how scared he was.
This is sad because I live really close to Nashville like 20 minutes away and if this would've hit me all my family would be dead
And I'm sorry to the ones who died in that tornado it was a very sad day for loved ones!
My grandparents are in Clarksville TN I’m glad they didn’t get hit
I was in Basic Training when this happened. It really racks your nerves hearing “yeah Nashville got hit by a tornado” and not knowing if your mom is ok until the next letter.
(Yes, my home was fine but still, imagine )
I remember that night that was extremely scary then Murfreesboro Tennessee had a tornado watch after that
Is this the storm that wasnt tornado warned and should have been?
Earlier on it wasn't warned, and a different tornado from this storm killed somebody. This was while in NWS Memphis' area. The storm then died down and entered NWS Nashville's area and had a severe thunderstorm warning, but the tornado spun up very very fast. In one scan there was no rotation at all, then the next scan there was suddenly a big tornado on the ground. It was warned properly as best they could.
@@KermitTheGamer21 then this is the one i watched on radar and thought they never should have pulled the tor warning.
@@mdstmouse7 The rotation completely died off for at least 30 minutes. It was fine for them to drop the warning. I'm a meteorology student who lives right by where the unwarned tornado hit and was watching the radar myself. Believe me, I was monumentally pissed at NWS Memphis. I watched the rotation die off and then went to bed. All of my classmates and I agreed that the storm was dead as it ran into an area of what was supposed to be unfavorable conditions. About 45 minutes later I wake up to my classmates screaming about a tornado about to hit downtown Nashville.
NWS Nashville did the best with what they knew and what the radar showed.
@@KermitTheGamer21 i believe you. this was the storm that hit about 1245 iirc? I was watching noaa radar velocity signatures and went to bed knowing people would be dead not having this storm tor warned. so idk. you would know more than me tho. but it would be interesting to see this storms radar loop.
Wow!!
That is terrifying but also amazingly beutiful eatchibg the lightning and the clouds moving so fast just consuming everything m!
I wanna see the radar loop
Man, that's fuckin' eerie!
And, no tornado sirens.
Never rely on an outdoor siren to warn you if you are inside.
No sirens because the storm weakened and then by the next scan there was a huge tornado. It spun up quickly and without warning. There was eventually a warning, it just couldn't come fast enough in this case. Very unfortunate, we were pissed at first but watching the radar loop, nothing really could have been done.
There were sirens, but by this time, the tornado had knocked them out
Holy crap I remember did I live in TN
I was awake watching the storm from my home in Bon Aqua TN, 5 mins south of I 40, below Dickson. There was gorgeous lightning, lots of wind, and then all of the sudden, it got eerily quiet near me and the trees stopped moving. I heard this loud sound coming from far off, when people say it sounds like a freight train, it totally does. It was dead still, and from my porch facing north I saw this huge behemoth of a funnel cloud just rolling on past, I couldn't see if it was touched down or just rotating, but I remember thinking. "That looks like an ice cream cone from Hell." I'd never seen a tornado in person, it was chilling and beautiful, and I immeadiately called it in to the local weather service after getting over the shock. If there hadn't been so much lightning, it would have been invisible in the darkness. From what I understand it caused some damage in the Dickson area, and then weakened, before strengthening again and hitting Nashville. Just crazy.
Crazy. Wonder how much damage it caused.
A lot. Many died... It's been over a year and they are still rebuilding building.
At least 37 dollars
Time for underground electricity or some other means to power things ..with the weather changes structures and our way of life is not working out to well...gonna have to plan and adapt better....incredible footage
Power can still go out during severe weather with it underground too
You: *”Tornado? Stand on the highest floor possible.*
Everyone *Only smart people do that.*
This was the same year that had the car bombing happening on Christmas as well. Nashville definitely had its share of stuff it dealt with in 2020 on top of Covid already being a thing worldwide
My parents were on the road and the tornado started shaking the car they survived I was at home asleep tho
Ide love to check out nashville one day..
It’s a good city it really is 😊
It's great I suggest going to pigeon forge it's right next to Nashville
@@Bonniebunnyfilms closer to Knoxville but yeah it's a grand time. I wonder if they rebuilt the over-city lift. It was so fun to ride.
@@Bonniebunnyfilms think you meant Knoxville, Tennessee, not Nashville.
@@Bonniebunnyfilms pigeon forge is about 3 hours away actually
That crain operator has a video as well.. this is why I'm here.
There's someone in that crane with the lights on.. and he made his own video also
I remember when this tornado hit Nashville Tennessee because I was seeing a debris ball on my radar and I knew that was a monster tornado was going to be violent and deadly
i HAVE THIS I LIVE IN NASHVILLE ALL MY LIFE
Wow
Chequen las luces que se mueven en el cielo
Craziest night if my life
I agree. Even though I live North of Nashville, I still got some Heavy Rain, Wind and Lightning from this line of storm cells. When I got up out of bed on March 3, 2020, it was so sunny outside, but all the local stations were on the air all day covering the aftermath. Not too long after this harrowing event, we all had to stay home because of the COVID-19 Pandemic. 2020 sure was a bad year.
@@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069 not gonna say where i am but the tornado was literally less than a mile away and we could hear this freight train and my mom and grandma were like why would there be a train at this time? And we realised that was no train.
What's even scarier is that it was at night. Nocturnal Tornadoes are even more dangerous than during the daytime. All that darkness of the night sky just enshrouds the Tornado in complete darkness, and you don't know where it is or where it's going.
@@mikeyg.thecnanddisneyfan9069 Definitely and it seems like they mostly happens at nights because of temperature and climate change right?
It actually doesn't matter what time of the day they occur. Tornadoes can form anytime, anywhere.
And yet nashville was the talk and little coverage given to putnam county where most of the death happened
I wouldn’t want to live in a apartment like this when a tornado comes because there is no where to hide and u all the way at the top
Why no sirens to warn people about tornado... I don't hear a siren...
It's all fun and games until a satellite comes along and pulls you off your balcony.
There was a guy up in the crane 😮
I was transfixed on the crane.
There was a dude in the red crane also taking a video
I don't hear any civil defense sirens. Do you?
That's a monster
1. The sirens stopped, someone better have lost their job over that.
2. It's such a creepy sound to hear the wind marching towards downtown.
3. The most frightening tornados are 1. Wrapped in rain. And 2. At night... and this was both. -- at least in the day time you have time to gauge where to make your move... at night you're just praying for intense lightning strikes just to see it.
Maybe the sirens were still active but the heavy rain and wind had an effect on the sound, or they turned off because the storm was in a state of weakening and the Tornado was already on the ground before the next scan hit and their was nothing the NWS could do in terms of providing an early warning. Somebody shouldn't half to lose their job over unpredictable weather patterns.
You can't run the sirens continuously, or you'll burn them out. Then the NEXT tornado comes along, and because people don't hear the siren, they don't realize it's there.
That's why even the meteorologists recommend people to go buy a Weather Radio, that way if a Tornado is detected on radar, the folks at The National Weather Service will be able to issue a Tornado Warning, then the radio will be sure to alert people to take shelter.
Like nothing I've ever seen.
Boring . Broadcasting put real ahpw below
anyone else notice the ufos?
No, I didn't. The Zeta Reticulian sitting next to me on my couch had to point them out to me.
I did there’s 2 of them
If you don’t think this is weather manipulation … then idk what is
When I lived in Nashville I asked a police officer what the lights were during the tornado and he looked at me so crazy n he responded the news said it was a transformer explosion…. Almost every cop that went to my job was a Freemason
Couldn’t help but think they didn’t want me asking that question
Look into the harrp
High frequency transmitter used to control the atmosphere
@@BBNTrashtalker Cuckoo, cuckoo.
Surprised to see that tornado during the election thank god I don’t live there
Um so you think tornadoes wouldn't happen during election years? 🤣
I hope the next one does twice as much damage. Good riddance to a once great town no more.
Woke up and chose violence.
Fuck off
