Kabir, you GOTTA look at Reed Timmer’s Greenfield tornado footage, some of the most insane tornado footage I have ever seen. I promise you won’t regret it!
The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939...this movie and Gone with the Wind were also the 1st movies to use color. Not sure which movie came out 1st, but both came out in 1939.
I'm a born and raised Oklahoman...yes, we are part of tornado alley and I've stood in my front yard and watched tornadoes in the distance. We definitely get our share of tornadoes and this Spring has been really bad.
It's been a really bad tornado season. I'm a born an raised Ohioan and growing up we would get a handful of tornadoes here. I saw two from a great distance as a kid and teenager. This year (2024) we have had so many, our meteorologist have reported that we have had four times the amount this year than we normally get. The last time I've had a close call was 2019 when a F4 went through parts of Dayton, I lived only ten minutes away where it touched down.
Oklahoman here. I've been hit by two EF-1 tornados. Driving, it pushed my car a lane over, I lost power steering, and my battery went to critically low for 15 seconds. The other tornado was at work, I watched the thing approach. Trees and powerlines snapped in half. Cars smashed by them. Building was tough, so I was good. Winds are FIERCE, even at EF-1.
I know we're supposed to go to the basement but when it's your fifth tornado warning of the season and it's only MAY ... 😒 By June you're like "might as well go see if Mother Nature means it this time."
11:03 'The Wizard of Oz' was 1938 so I find it difficult to believe this was the first tornado in a movie. But it's likely the first really impressive tornado FX.
Laura Ingalls Wilder describes a tornado that she experienced near DeSmet, SD in 1884. I have to wonder if it was the same one in the photo you showed. Wizard of Oz was released in 1939.
The Oz tornado was crafted manually in 1938! Before even television. One of the top 10 movies ever made. My late mum saw it in Europe before WWII came to her and said teenagers were fainting from excitement when it turned to colour film out of nowhere. Love you Mum. RIP.
I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is in the Northeast part of the state. Last Saturday a tornado hit in Claramore, Ok. That is only about 25 miles away from where I live. It started it's development in far north Tulsa and moved towards Claremore. I was close enough that the tornado sirens in my area went off. I was heading for cover when they cancelled the sirens. To live in Oklahoma is to be ready for tornado season.
A tornado is the most wicked thing I have ever experienced! It does kind of feel like you’re being sucked towards it mixed with the most incredible wind you’ve ever seen. Sounds like 10 freight trains.
I had a tornado pass over my car one evening. The car rocked and I could feel the pull overhead. Once it went over I got out and saw it up in the air moving west.
I've seen one good sized tornado several miles away in the middle of Florida. It's hilly, and I was on top of the hills when I seen it. I've seen a bunch of waterspouts in the Gulf Of Mexico. Good video. When I was 6 years old, an F-3 tornado passed about 5 miles away from me on an Easter. Tore up a stripmall. Especially a good sized K-Mart. Tore the roof off and wasn't opened for years.
Kabir, the next time you come to the United States, if it’s during tornado season, you can actually go on storm chases with these people. I have no idea what it cost but I bet it would be quite interesting.
I live in south central PA and I've seen 4 tornadoes here. One of them was a direct hit. It was rain-wrapped so we couldn't see it coming, even though we were watching it come right at us. We had no warning but luckily realized what was happening in time to make it to the basement. We had a lot of damage but thankfully no one was hurt.
While I was stationed at the air base in Wichita Falls, TX, I saw three. One touched down with minimum damage, and the other two stayed high. One of the duties we had to perform while stationed there was tornado watch. The storm itself will have outflow and the tornado will have inflow! ♥
Warner Robins, GA is my hometown. We very rarely see tornadoes here. My mother and grandparents watched it go across the town, which was much smaller than it is today, throwing debris in the air. The principal of a local elementary school ran outside, took one look at it, had a heart attack and died in his front yard. It was a tragedy in so many ways. I’m grateful nothing happened to my family for obvious reasons.
I remember when Twister came out and I was going to school in a part of northern California that frequently had dust devils and the occasional F0. That combination got me interested in the science of these kinds of storms.
Tornadoes are very common in Oklahoma. The National Severe Storms Laboratory is located in Norman Oklahoma which is near Moore Oklahoma. I'm glad you used the word pushed into the tornado. Many people use suction for tornadoes but there is no such thing as suction. It is high pressure pushing towards the low pressure inside the funnel.
I have seen many tornadoes, but the closest I got was when I was walking outside on a stairway that took you down a hill at a resort I was working at in Wisconsin Dells in 1988, the tornado dropped right over our heads, the grounds keeper ran up and told us to get down. It took a tree next to us right out of the ground and dropped all the way down on the lake and then moved across and took out Tommy Bartletts a sightseeing spot. That was my first interaction with a tornado. 09:04 if you look at the cloud to the left you can see the sun is behind the tornado which is what makes it look so dark. He also does a video on the evolution of tornado chasers, worth a watch. Yes Oklahoma is part of tornado alley original but we are seeing it move east so many states to the east of tornado alley are now being hit harder. Of course Oklahma falls in both groups, they just used to be on the eastern edge and now are more the western edge.
I've witnessed 2 tornadoes and both times they were approximately one mile away from my location. Where I stood, winds were very still and there was no rain, but the sky was purplish in color and the tornadoes were very loud. They sounded like being close to a train track when a train is passing and simultaneously sounding their horn. Initially, I was frightened but then you realize that from a safe distance you have time to run for your basement it's actually fascinating to see such an exhibition of the power of nature. At that time, I lived just east of Kansas City, Missouri which is part of tornado alley.
I have seen and been in 3 tornadoes. Firstly you get hit by hail, generally. The larger the circulation in the storm, the bigger the hail. The next thing is the pressure variance between inside and outside the actual tornado. The closer you are the more likely you feel intense ear pain and pressure. As to wind, the effect is called "wind field", that is the bigger the tornado, the more the winds are circulating and being drawn into the funnel in a like-wise motion as the storm. That effect helps weather reporters/NWS investigators determine if the storm was a tornado, or straight line winds by the pattern of the damage.
@@janetsanford6923 Yes, because the storm continues the rotation in the "thunderhead" until the hail becomes too heavy to maintain the lower to higher levels in the storm and the hail becomes too heavy, hence the stories of grapefruit, baseball, tennis ball and similar size hailstones.
Well the whole of the United States is tornado alley, however the states that get the most are the Midwest states such as Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and South Dakota, I live in South Dakota and tornadoes absolutely terrify me!
I use to be a certified storm chaser, many years ago. I live in Indiana. We actually get a lot more tornadoes now. The tornado alley is changing from what it used to be to be with the climate change. You need to look up the new alley. There is a video of a Star Bucks being hit and knocked down because of a tornado, I actually live in that city. Gratefully no one was really hurt bad. But there were people inside of it when it collapsed. I didn’t see it, I saw the destruction afterwards. I was on my way back from the northern part of Indiana at the time time. The same cell did cross my path on my way home and I saw a few smaller ones cross the road in-front of me.
Been in a few (smaller ones) and near a lot of them - mostly loud and windy. You can feel them coming probably due to the barometric pressure they say. But all of the animals can sense them as well. Birds stop chirping, horses get hyped, some of the dogs get scared, cats didn't do much different than cats do usually...lol. But everything feels very different when conditions are right for a tornado whether one actually forms or not. I never went to the basement or cellar when we had one available to go to. The idea of being trapped in a cellar or pinned under debris was more scary to me than be swept away, torn apart or knocked out by debris. Sit it out or catch some sleep like with any storm. If nature wants to take you out, there is no escape. ;)
Wizard Of Oz released in 1939, was the first [ major] film to be shot in Color. First “movies- 1903. First “Talkies” [ movies with sound], 1928-1929. 📻🙂
Middle Georgia sees more tornadoes than northern Georgia because we have hills that turn to mountains. Tornadoes like flat land, but can occur almost anywhere. The closest tornado to our home happened when we were out of town for a wedding. Glad I wasn't there, or I'd be terrified. It lifted a few hundred feet from our house (we discovered when we got home), so our home was safe. I heard a tornado siren in Memphis Tennessee in the middle of the night, but ignored it (probably dumb, but that place wasn't hit, either). Twice I've heard local Atlanta tornado sirens - once when I was driving, so just booked it out of the area; second time we were at home late at night. We put on bike helmets, got pillows and blankets, got the pets and their food/water, and hid in the safest room in our house (we don't have a basement). Again, didn't get hit. As soon as the siren turned off, we let the pets out and put everything away. That was the scariest. Tornadoes in Georgia tend to be at night or rain-wrapped, so unless you're watching radar, or have a weather radio, it's hard to know exactly where the circulation is.
When I was little, growing up in Indiana. I went through 2 tornadoes. One, I was stuck in our family car. My Dad took me to spend my birthday money. On the way home he said look up, we saw a twister. He quickly turned down our dirt road and went into the house thinking I was behind him. Well I wasn't, trying to open the car door. It wouldn't open. Then my dad and uncle came out. It took both of them to get the door open. We lost the roof our barn. It was very scary. BTW they sound nothing like a train, much worse and sooo loud.
Everything feels kinda eery... and the sound is what gets you they sound like freight trains and get louder the closer you get to it. Usually accompanied by really bad rain and hail.
I live in Oklahoma City. And I lived in Moore Oklahoma when the city of Moore got hit. And it hit 2 elementary schools. We lived right across from Briarwood Elementary. And you could hear the teachers doing roll call in the fields for all the children. But it went right over our house. Demolished both mine & hubby’s trucks. We were in the bathroom riding it out. Your ears begin to pop & it sounds like a train going over your house. The walls shake, you loose power. I was sitting on the toilet with a flash light in one hand & a radio in the other. My hubby was in front of me on the ground holding a 4 legged baby, and daughter was in the bathtub holding another 4 legged baby. Then you step out & see the aftermath & destruction it left behind. We literally saw paramedics load a patient into the back of a truck that had been given an IV. Cause EMSA Paramedics vehicle couldn’t get down the street because of down power lines & gas lines. Oklahoma is in the tornado alley. You definitely were right about that. Sending love from OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA!!!
Never seen a tornado in person, but I've been in one. I was too young for my parents to allow me to go out and look before it headed our way, but we immediately headed to the basement anyway. I sounds like a freight train and is quite scary. We got lucky and only lost the shed and doghouse, but we had neighbors who lost their roofs and a few were killed.
This is how the experts tell us why we receive so many tornadoes. In Europe and most of the world mountain ranges run east and west. In the US mountain ranges run north and south. With a big open space between mountain ranges. In the spring and summer we have arctic air coming from the north and tropical air coming from the gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Where the two air masses clash, that's where we get those storms. It can clash as far north as Wisconsin and Michigan or Texas and Georgia. That's why it's so widespread. If we had one big mountain range the went east to west our tornado problem would be minimal. If those two air masses can't clash it ends most tornadoes.
I find tornados interesting, but also scary. We had one back in 2008. I was at work Think it was like an F1. It was on the other side of us. Couldn't see it,cause it was night time. But we rarely get them In Indiana. Where I live anyway. .😊❤
I wish the Plains Indians of North America (the Plains being part of tornado alley in the USA) left behind written works or even drawn pictures. I'm sure they would have left information about the many tornadoes they saw.
The color of a tornado can be changed by the type of dust that enters it. They can be white, brown, black, red or orange depending on the type of soil and back lighting. At first, until it starts pulling debris in, it is almost like there is nothing visible between the bottom and top parts. The people he mentioned as storm chasers/forecasters are real pros, but beware of reacting to any of their videos, unless you get permission, because this is how they make a living and have had problems with others using their footage. It isn't an inexpensive or safe job because it takes long hour of driving, gas, lodging and often their car windows are damaged by very large hail. But if you want to see really a good video for yourself, check out Pecos Hank. He does everything, even writing & performing his own music. He is also very low key, does search and rescue and teams up with other weather scientists.
I have witnessed three large tornados in northern Louisiana in the ‘80s and ‘90s. We didn’t have a basement and we were scared to death. I don’t get why anyone would want to experience one. There’s NOTHING fun about the experience. All I remember is huddling with my family and just hoping and praying that the tornados spare us - our house was never directly hit but the very next house up the road was.
I find that many of the most dangerous things in nature are also the most dangerous. Tornadoes. Volcanic lava fountains and flows. Bengal Tigers. Leopards. The list is long.
Definition by classification. Tornadoes are at least partically classified by the damage they do. Recently having technology to better record things like wind speed and capture the patterns on radar, it won't be surprising to see re-classification again. The same phenomena over water is not classified as tornado unless it makes landfall. Whether it reaches ground is another consideration. All of these defining characteristics change over time. The weather events are nothing new. The research for the video compiled data of a long history of humans recording them even if what they actually call them change.
I understand you saying "fun", but live through one & it's NOT FUN, ITS TERRIFYING!!!!! Tornadoes ripped through Georgia/Tennessee in 2011 & it demolished my schools, my friends homes, threw bodies from cemeteries....etc. not "FUN". 😢
Yeah we get them in Australia too and trust me with global warming happening it might even happen in England so yeah always prepare yourself because you never know what about to happen to you until it's to late
Kabir I am an mlb fan and my favorite team has always been the Houston astros anyway you should react to 1 of their best friends and 1 of my favorite players on the astros yordan alvarez (in my opinion his best season is 2022 or 2019) He is definitely a good player and you should check him out You're welcome 👍
Uh, "fun to watch" may not have been the best choice of words. I understood what you likely meant? But when they level cities, destroy people's lives and livelihoods and cause untold devastation maybe starting with "Oooo some of the most fun to watch" is a lil....
The guy that did this video, not you Kabir, needs to do more research, the video from 'Wichita' was from Spring Lake Park Minnesota. 4 miles from our house at the time.
You should react to the new Eminem song Houdini. It came out yesterday I think. It’s been make the rounds. He took shots at Meagan Stallion, r Kelly, the black eye peas, and Pete Davidson.
1:58 I live in Rochelle, IL. Got great photos of that monstrasity coming towards our house, much closer than this pic... lmk if you want me to send them over. Luckily miraculously jumped over most of our town! but it was sooo masive!

the wizard of oz came out in 1939 , the same year as gone with the wind . a great year for movies .
Was just going to tell him
Not a great year for the world unfortunately
A highpoint for film-making for sure!
Kabir, you GOTTA look at Reed Timmer’s Greenfield tornado footage, some of the most insane tornado footage I have ever seen. I promise you won’t regret it!
And his recent video of just YEETing a rental into a dvd-sized hail storm. That poor Tahoe.
His recent videos are the best I’ve ever seen!

Oklahoman here. I've been hit by two EF-1 tornados. Driving, it pushed my car a lane over, I lost power steering, and my battery went to critically low for 15 seconds. The other tornado was at work, I watched the thing approach. Trees and powerlines snapped in half. Cars smashed by them. Building was tough, so I was good. Winds are FIERCE, even at EF-1.

Speaking from my experience of surviving a tornado from when I was 10, the air got sucked out of my lungs and it was insanely loud.
11:03 'The Wizard of Oz' was 1938 so I find it difficult to believe this was the first tornado in a movie. But it's likely the first really impressive tornado FX.

Look up Tuscaloosa, Alabama tornado of 2011. Filmed in a mall parking lot. and the tornado came scarily close to the filmer.
Wizard of Oz released on August 25, 1939. It was the first color film.

When tornadoes look dark it's because they're backlit by the sun. Frontlit tornadoes are beautiful, but the backlit ones are terrifying.

My parents saw Snow White in the theater in 1937. 😅 Time flies 😊
My mother had me up in the attic, looking for what she heard, going on in the attic, which actually was a tornado going overhead
I've seen 3 tornadoes live since 1973. I hit the basement with each long before it was close enough to feel wind from it.

If you haven't checked out Pecos Hank, absolutely do. He's really smart and funny & does a lot of animal content alongside the stormchasing.
Just a week or so ago the tornado in Iowa.
I think i just saw that in 2019 we had 149 tornados here in Oklahoma... so we do get a lot.
When I was little, growing up in Indiana. I went through 2 tornadoes. One, I was stuck in our family car. My Dad took me to spend my birthday money. On the way home he said look up, we saw a twister.

This is how the experts tell us why we receive so many tornadoes. In Europe and most of the world mountain ranges run east and west. In the US mountain ranges run north and south. With a big open space between mountain ranges. In the spring and summer we have arctic air coming from the north and tropical air coming from the gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. Where the two air masses clash, that's where we get those storms. It can clash as far north as Wisconsin and Michigan or Texas and Georgia. That's why it's so widespread. If we had one big mountain range the went east to west our tornado problem would be minimal. If those two air masses can't clash it ends most tornadoes.
I find tornados interesting, but also scary.
We had one back in 2008. I was at work
Think it was like an F1. It was on the other side of us. Couldn't see it,cause it was night time. But we rarely get them In Indiana. Where I live anyway. .😊❤
I wish the Plains Indians of North America (the Plains being part of tornado alley in the USA) left behind written works or even drawn pictures. I'm sure they would have left information about the many tornadoes they saw.
MONSTEROUS
The color of a tornado can be changed by the type of dust that enters it. They can be white, brown, black, red or orange depending on the type of soil and back lighting. At first, until it starts pulling debris in, it is almost like there is nothing visible between the bottom and top parts.
The people he mentioned as storm chasers/forecasters are real pros, but beware of reacting to any of their videos, unless you get permission, because this is how they make a living and have had problems with others using their footage. It isn't an inexpensive or safe job because it takes long hour of driving, gas, lodging and often their car windows are damaged by very large hail. But if you want to see really a good video for yourself, check out Pecos Hank. He does everything, even writing & performing his own music. He is also very low key, does search and rescue and teams up with other weather scientists.
I have witnessed three large tornados in northern Louisiana in the ‘80s and ‘90s. We didn’t have a basement and we were scared to death. I don’t get why anyone would want to experience one. There’s NOTHING fun about the experience. All I remember is huddling with my family and just hoping and praying that the tornados spare us - our house was never directly hit but the very next house up the road was.
8:05 Whoops! 😂
What is up with the mirror thing? Bad edit?
I find that many of the most dangerous things in nature are also the most dangerous. Tornadoes. Volcanic lava fountains and flows. Bengal Tigers. Leopards. The list is long.
At the beginning, he was saying that a whirlwind didn't count as being a tornado. Is he kidding? Smh Whirl means spinning
Definition by classification. Tornadoes are at least partically classified by the damage they do. Recently having technology to better record things like wind speed and capture the patterns on radar, it won't be surprising to see re-classification again. The same phenomena over water is not classified as tornado unless it makes landfall. Whether it reaches ground is another consideration. All of these defining characteristics change over time. The weather events are nothing new. The research for the video compiled data of a long history of humans recording them even if what they actually call them change.
1929, it must the Wizard of Oz tornado that took Dorthy the the land of Oz. 😅😅
I understand you saying "fun", but live through one & it's NOT FUN, ITS TERRIFYING!!!!! Tornadoes ripped through Georgia/Tennessee in 2011 & it demolished my schools, my friends homes, threw bodies from cemeteries....etc. not "FUN". 😢
I've lived through 2 and still have fun with these videos
Yeah we get them in Australia too and trust me with global warming happening it might even happen in England so yeah always prepare yourself because you never know what about to happen to you until it's to late
Think Oz was the first color movie 1939
I've heard it said that an F-5 tornado is the finger of God! Yes Elijah was taken up in a whirlwind.
"Twister," 1996. Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Phil Hoffman. Classic film. Definitely a bucket-list watch.
The fact that folks AIN'T listening when they get away from the window......
Kabir I am an mlb fan and my favorite team has always been the Houston astros anyway you should react to 1 of their best friends and 1 of my favorite players on the astros yordan alvarez (in my opinion his best season is 2022 or 2019)
He is definitely a good player and you should check him out
You're welcome 👍
JEFF was HERE
Uh, "fun to watch" may not have been the best choice of words. I understood what you likely meant? But when they level cities, destroy people's lives and livelihoods and cause untold devastation maybe starting with "Oooo some of the most fun to watch" is a lil....
wow, that guy had a suicidal daughter.
The guy that did this video, not you Kabir, needs to do more research, the video from 'Wichita' was from Spring Lake Park Minnesota. 4 miles from our house at the time.
Dude tornado are not fun
You should react to the new Eminem song Houdini. It came out yesterday I think. It’s been make the rounds. He took shots at Meagan Stallion, r Kelly, the black eye peas, and Pete Davidson.
1:58 I live in Rochelle, IL. Got great photos of that monstrasity coming towards our house, much closer than this pic... lmk if you want me to send them over. Luckily miraculously jumped over most of our town! but it was sooo masive!
