I used to think I could outsmart natural disasters. Left the NC coast, where I was born and raised, to avoid the full brunt of hurricanes. Left Southern California, to avoid earthquakes. Didn’t move to Nashville, TN when I had a chance, to avoid the widened tornado alley. Feeling satisfied that the NC mountains (Alleghany County) was a safe bet, I moved there. On August 9th, 2020, just past 8:00 in the morning, my family was awakened by the strongest earthquake reported in NC in more than 100 years. My dumb luck. 😂
North Carolina never gets a full brunt of a hurricane.
@@TheBasstead1 Oh? So you were also born and raised near Wilmington? Then perhaps you’re just too young to remember Hurricane Hazel in 1954, which made landfall in Calabash, bringing an 18-foot storm surge and wind speeds over 140 miles per hour in Brunswick County. The National Weather Service noted that just five of 357 buildings in Long Beach (now incorporated into Oak Island) remained after the hurricane battered Brunswick County beaches.
More than 15,000 homes were destroyed and according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration report, "every pier in a distance of 170 miles of coastline was demolished."
Now, maybe that’s not what you call “the brunt,” but there are a lot of coastal North Carolinians who’d say you don’t know what you’re talking about.
More recently, Hurricane Floyd made landfall on the Cape Fear as a Category 2 hurricane, bringing wind gusts measuring over 130 miles per hour near Wrightsville Beach.
For years Floyd was the most expensive hurricane and had the highest rainfalls, until Hurricane Florence. It brought storm surges that peaked around 18 feet and over 24 inches of rain to parts of the state, killing 36 people and costing more than $6 billion in damage. My brother-in-law’s young nephew Adam was killed during that hurricane. That boy’s mom and dad would say that NC caught the full brunt.
I’m always amazed by people who make assertions regarding topics they clearly know nothing about.
@@cherilynne1946yes! I moved from North Carolina to Ohio because of the hurricanes and horrible storms. My house had 3 storms blown in to it and we moved to Ohio. And this year we have had 7 tornados near us haha😂.
@@TheBasstead1This is just factually incorrect.
😂 That's funny! Especially since it's the Blue Ridge/Smokies. Our mountains are older and weathered into rounded tops mostly... I grew up in Greensboro and have lived in the Virginia Blue Ridge since 1984, close to Fancy Gap and the NC line (howdy neighbor!). The only earthquake I have ever felt was when I lived near Greensboro, and it was a little one. 🤷♀️ Not even in the mountains! Since mountain ranges are where tectonic plates collide... I've always wondered how it would feel.
Idk who took these videos but this is some amazing footage
Tags are in small print on each video clip.
I've lived in the same general area of Northeast Texas all 47 years of my life. Tornado have always been an issue here, they've gotten more and prevalent with each passing year. I've experienced some near misses a few times, but I haven't had to deal with the devastation I've seen some of my family and friends go through. I used to find thunder storms relaxing. Falling asleep to the sounds of a storm was my favorite. Now, every time Spring rolls around, I only wonder if this year will my turned be devastated...or worse. We've already had two major storms, and to make things worse, I was home alone both times. Naturally, I was terrified, but my worst experience ever happened just last year. When there were three tornadoes simultaneously headed towards us from three separate directions. I was clinging to my husband like a cat trying to escape it's bath water. (If you know, you know 🐈⬛😬) Seriously though, I was practically climbing him. As if that was going help me escape a friggin tornado! 😆 It doesn't help that my house might as well be made of matchsticks. This is the first house I've ever lived in where there is not one place we could hunker down and feel moderately safe. It also doesn't help that I have family in every that surrounds us. So that just adds another layer of anxiety and fear for me. Especially since my little niece got trapped underneath a camper she was sleeping in a few years back. I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been to wake up to that. There was no warning, no time, and nowhere for any of the campers to take cover. So, there were many injuries of varying degrees, and sadly, not everyone's life was spared. Now, a bunch of us do a group chat and we talk each other through it till it passes. So yea, as you can see, tornado season turns me into a quivering puddle of terror every three or four months out of the year. To those of you who actually took the time to read this rant, thanks for letting me vent. I think I really needed to get it all out. Especially sinc tornado season 2024 has only just begun its reign of terror over us all.🤦🏻♀️
I totally relate to what your saying!!
I have panic attacks.. It doesn't seem to matter to my brain how far away the storms are or if they are right on top of us..too many close calls.. My family also does the message thing so I'm usually going between watching the radar and messenger.. I'm in central Texas .. We had a F5 back in 97.. I never want to witness that ever again and with all the growth..it if happens or even if its a small tornado ..the loss of life, property etc. I don't even want to think abt it.. Be safe!
They live in tornado Alley as well. We built in 2017 and 2 weeks after we moved in a tornado went right through our field. We lost power, but by the grace of God, our generator kicked on and not a single shingle was out of place. We had one more that passed us in 2020 not as close as the first one and as a kid we took cover often during spring. But I’ve never suffered this shared devastation that many have. But I have a son who is desperately afraid of tornadoes he was even before he was really in his first. We are lucky that we have a basement and in our basement we have a fully enclosed concrete bunker in our basement is poured 12 feet deep so we are much deeper than most basement. We did that on purpose. so I do know we have a safe place to go, but it certainly very scary for people that do not have shelter and live in areas that are prevalent to tornadoes. I pray you have a safe season. You’re welcome to rant anytime. Sometimes you just need to get it off your chest. 🙏🏻
Dig a storm shelter so you can escape a tornado. Remember the wizard of Oz folks back then knew how to get in a safe place.
My faith in Jesus carries me through. I also live in tornado alley. Have had 9 dancing around my county in one day a few years back. And I’ve seen 4 in one afternoon. Almost drove into one of them on an old country road. Stopped the car and took a quick picture. Turned around and put the pedal to the metal. Met the storm chasers with their car that has all the antennas on it. They found what they were looking for.
So sorry for your anxiety. I’d be the same. Hope you get passed again. How you can figure out sone ways to find protection. ❤
Bill Paxton is out there in the clouds chasing... 🙏R.I.P
I think of him as Coconut Pete lol
I know I miss Bill Paxton he was a good actor in the 1996 twister movie rip 🙏 🪦 bill Paxton 😢😢
@@kevinjohnson7300I'm sorry, but it's very clearly *_The Extreme!_*
Darwin is his copilot
Bill Paxton R.I.P 🙏
It was a crazy and slightly tense night for sure. I hope everyone is safe.
This is why you don't make movies with tornadoes, it just encourages them 😂😮
As an Australian, I have wanted to see a tornado ever since I learned about their existence. I find them so terrible but also so fascinating and strangely magestic. Hopefully no one gets hurt from this lot ❤
blessings to all here in the midwest🙏🏻🤕
You consider tornadoes a blessing? Doesn't look like a blessing to me
@@frankmacleod2565 That person is a religious freak
@@frankmacleod2565 I think you're misunderstanding what the person said. Blessing as in to get through the issue, not that the issue itself is a blessing. Sometimes bad things are a blessing, though. But yeah, in this situation it's not what the person meant
"Blessings" from the polluting fossil fuel industry are making things more dangerous and costly for us.
@@tylerjames8879 too bad God can't bless them himself, or protect them from all these tornadoes. I guess he's too busy, making tornadoes
I'm sending love and prayers to all those who were affected by this terrible storm may God bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What god
The one thats apparently also sending these storms @@Wildman-zh8lg
@@lkx5257 There's no such thing as god
@@Wildman-zh8lg I dont think so either. But im not going around YT comments trying to shatter other peoples beliefs. Try to be less bitter.
I heard a survivor tried to pay for repairs but the company said they don’t take “love and prayers”. 🙄
I could hear the one that was near Iowa City. Sounds like thunder that doesn’t stop. Very eerie sound.
I'm In Ohio. When you hear a train coming, when you know in fact there is no train anywhere close by, you better start praying. The sounds of the wind whistling and rumbling a power you feel in your body
And it smells of trees beyond what it smells like in the middle of forest, with an energy smell (don't know what else to call it, but like when your near an open transformer@@gabeee4711
Sounds like a train
I work at a glass factory in Ohio. I can’t imagine what it would be like if a factory full of glass got hit by a tornado 😂😂. That storm shelter in the bathroom might not hold up now that I think about it lmfao.
We've had the most in the country this year
@@andreadeamon6419 yea, blessed we haven’t been hit here in perrysburg ohio.they’re everywhere for sure
I’m in the Midwest.. never seen a tornado in my life.
Your probably from the tourist area
@@david.1815
What’s the tourist area?
How😂
I heard Mid Western tornado coverage is overrated. It’s just very popular because there’s nothing but fields out there and it’s easy to chase/capture. I heard the real big and consistent tornados happen in the Southern panhandle by Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
@@Helmuesi911 just sarcasm
this twister reboot promo campaign is getting out of hand.
🤣☠️🤣☠️
Not everything has to be a joke like you
@@CheeseMiser😄😁😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Prayi g for in the paths of these tornadoes. 🙏 🤲 ❤
I watched some of these form live on Ryan Hall y’all’s channel from the perspective of his 6 storm chasers. craziest thing I’d ever seen.
I really like Ryan Hall y’all. Good guy and does a good job on his channel.
Please be safe.
That's got to be a terrifying sight to stand in your yard and see, Praying that you don't find yourself in the cross hair of the storm.
bloody shame that these storms are so destructive so quickly...and dont apologize.
Oh! Lots of them. iowa, Nebraska and Kansas get a lot, but other places do too
Tornado's can occur anywhere in U. S. A. I lived in Bridgeport Connecticut and was on field applying for my class A license when a tornado appeared, luckily no one was hurt , but damage was significant ! It happened so fast also 🌪️
Years ago, an E5 took out the entire town of Big Flats Wisconsin. We've had all kinds of tornadoes in WI all my life. They don't have to be E5 to do damage, they all do.
God Bless All 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽
Stay safe out there you guys
Last ones through my general area tore through Selma ànd Winchester Indiana.
We were in that line of storms 20 miles west of the worst damage. We lost branches on 3 trees and another completly fell to the ground. Lost shingles on 2 buildings. Funnel cloud reported a half mile away but all the trees fell in the same direction. Maybe caught the beginning of it. A few minutes and the worst was over here.
Damn that’s crazy, 3 hit me with one that hit Ingalls(near Fortville), one that hit Pendleton, and another in Anderson just 2 years ago that was strangely labeled(and a term I haven’t heard before it) a “gustnato” which shredded our area of all its trees and power lines. Those things are crazy
It was scary
We need to pray for the people living in the mid west ..how frightening !!!
This is all the county’s surrounding me lol
blessing to midwest!
Weather Modification needs to be made illegal.
I think it's so weird when I see tornado videos that show one with the sun shining. Some are really close to the tornado.
Hopes and prayers
I was watching Reed Timmer live earlier chasing in Nebraska and there were literally 3 or 4 that dropped in a 20 minute window... it was insanity! Hope everyone stays safe!
This season is going to be a scary one I pray for you all out there may god bless you and keep you safe
If I saw that tornado coming my way I’d be driving the opposite way and now stopped staring at it !!!! That’s insane!!!!!😮
omg, it must be the climate. we are destroying the world 🙄
Horrifying.
1) Ascertain direction of tornado;
2) Drive in opposite direction.
Thank you for the video. Amazing.
Had some pretty strong storms here in Western MI
The town of Sulphur Oklahoma was destroyed and 4 people died 😢
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
For those of you that dont know . Thats called a Wednesday 😂 (in the mid west during spring )
It seems like we been having a lot of those Wednesdays in the South.
We had some here in Michigan too 👍🏽 and are supposedly getting more tonight.
Why doesn't anyone who owns a trailer in the Midwest ever think to bury another trailer under it so they have somewhere to hide? 😂
I think the whole point to living in a trailer is that it’s cheaper than living in a brick house
When I was younger I lived in a trailer purely do to poverty
Idk though there might be some who live in trailers that still got some cash but I feel like it’s mostly old retired couples
Lol I think if they were thinkers, they wouldn't be living in a trailer in the Midwest 😂
@@Couchpotato993 Besides the income factor, I believe the land plots in many mobile home parks are rented, not bought, so the home dwellers are limited in what they can do to the property. That being said, IMO mobile home parks should have a community tornado shelter in areas where those storms are common.
there are storm shelter sales lots in Greensberg KS
And this folks, is what it looks like when an idiot thinks he's funny and asks a question
Spring has sprung!
Tornados are why I don't live in the Midwest... I hope everyone is safe!
Lived in tornado alley all my life. Its nothing. Take my beer into the shelter, the thing passes in minutes. Then you are good.
Tornado warnings in Williamston, Michigan today. 🙏🙏
All IA State got the threat warning in one whole day!
Spent nearly a year and a half in Oklahoma and never got to see one tornado! Feel cheated!
We didn’t even get lightning or clap of thunder in northeast WI.
What's "Nearly" 14? 😅
It said "At least" not "nearly"!
@@deborahturner1853 it won't allow me to post the screenshot here, but look at the headline/caption again. (Ty for trying to throw the wet blanket though...*)

Man I miss Nebraska.
Really? Why?
I know, right? You're not in Nebraska anymore. I know I'm a state north but i decide to go with it anyway.
@@Helmuesi911 I liked living up by the Missouri river. People are super friendly. Idk I just didn't have any bad experiences out there. Life was good on the prairie.
@@scotttoth5112 I'm back in Idaho in the mountains. We don't get badass Midwest thunderstorms here.
@@thingydude No, but you get badass snowstorms though, I bet.
LOVE and BLESSINGS TO ALL 💞🫂💝🎉❤🤗🙏😍😇🇺🇸🌏😘🌼🌚😸🌞
Nebraska always gets them
I live in Oregon west of the Cascade Mountains which rarely has tornadoes. We do get some bad storms though. Now and then we get earthquakes. Hopefully no erupting volcanoes like Washington state.
Man, pack up and let's roll out..
No Way. a TORNADO in TORNADO ALLEY durring TORNADO SEASON. Who could if imagined that
Smile and wave boys, smile and wave.
That's not good😢
You could use your walker and chase that tornado and even take a selfie standing next to it... 🌪 🚶
The older I get, the more they terrify me.
Looks like the Midwest had a tornado party, but didn't invite Michigan and Ohio!
The new tornado alley
What state was these videos filmed in
Why you never want to be around these things is bc another tornado can form right where your standing and fall on you. Many people over the years have died like this bc they took for granted being around these tornado's.
Wow we had 14 of them in the Midwest were I live.
The first one looks beautiful ☯️
i've contacted the college of science with my idea to stop a tornado but i guess they think i am joking cause they haven't called me back. They must think i'm full of hot air.
Mother Nature is pissed. Look what’s going on around the world 😢
Sooooo much for those crops !!!!
Terrifying nature in all its glory and destruction.
What’s science of that area having the most tornadoes? I never looked deep into
What is the date?
Beautiful
Seems like several of them are the same nader, just different points of life.
Many cold core tornadoes look similar.
Busy trying times for those who live inn the western states . 🙏
Our weather in Illinois has been very sucky too but no tornados so far.
Earth, wind and fire, always somethin.
RIP and to our crops USA turn to Jesus
Must be so terrifying.
It is.
Isn’t that the intersection where Chuck Nolan (Tom Hanks) makes his choice on which direction to take at the end of Cast Away?
Oh HELL NO! I would take an earthquake ANYDAY over a Tornado!🥵😲
Terrifiying; need basement bunker's
Midwest.....any chance you could narrow that down?
Yea we've been getting it this year🙏
Tornado is very scary
I wish these so called "News" channels would put dates, SOMEWHERE, on these posts
If you tap in the top right, the 3 dots in a row, gives you a description of the video and when it was made... 🙏
Would be great to know date
MM/DD/YY many videos are from years ago. Sad you have to vet everything.
You should probably cite these sources you've taken video from
I’d be running for my life with messed pants - they terrify me. As a young kid I saw a Mickey Mouse cartoon with one, and it did quite the number on me.
Stay safe American friends ❤
Isnt this earlier than usual...for tornadoes ?
Think of how many tornadoes there was before there was so many people and people with cameras
Awesome sight. I'm glad I live in NJ.
Didn't you just have an earthquake??
Pul-eze put the date on the video. For those of us from the Midwest, it matters when these 14 twisters came down!
The video was posted on the 17th... Tap on the 3 dots in a row and you'll have an option to see the description, in which it'll tell you when vid was posted. 🙏
Birthing pains.
How easy it must be for God to manipulate the weather anywhere in the world to humble any man or woman and show that HE is in control. 🙏🇺🇸
Move to San Antonio if you don’t like weather. Every time we are about to get rain it just dies and moves to the Hill Country……it’s great….
They scare the ever living h@## out of me .
Midwest of what/where?
When,where?
Great video 🌪
It kind of cool to see this without having to hear Reed Timmer go bat *&^* crazy. 😅
