Hahaha. I can laugh about it now, but years ago when my son was sick, his fever was so high he started hallucinating. I had him in the bathtub to try to bring his fever down with a warm bath. He kept panicking & asking me to keep him from being sucked down the tub drain like a drain-nado. Thankfully the bath worked & we avoided a trip to the ER that night.
@@ryanclemons1 the bathwater was tepid. Just mildly warm. It had worked before when he was too ill to keep any medicine down. Cold water or cool room would have triggered his asthma. High fever induced hallucinations, vomiting, body aches & an asthma attack on top would have been much worse. I'm just glad he seems to have outgrown the asthma bit.
That's a lot of the reason why ships when they see them its best to get out of the water or make your distance they will tear your boat down like a hurricane would
I live on the Gulf Coast near Pensacola, and watching a waterspout form is beyond surreal, thankfully they need the water, hence their name cause they always dissipate before hitting the shore. Also, there really is something beautiful about seeing giant shelf clouds roll out over the beach; that eerie stillness mixed with being alone has an almost spiritual feeling for me.
I’m from North Carolina and when I was at the coast one year I saw one form and then it came ashore and almost leveled a motel. Said motel was the only thing damaged though, like literally the buildings on either side of it were untouched, not even by debris. Stuff’s wild man

I really appreciate how you distinguished a fire whirl from a fire tornado. You often see them called the same thing which is like calling a dust devil and a tornado the same thing.
Shelf clouds are super menacing to look at, but whenever they roll over, it always just ends up being heavy rain for a few minutes, a couple strong gusts, with some flashes of lightning. Those storms are just never as exciting as they look. Btw, I loved that you used the water level theme from Donkey Kong Country when you started talking about waterspouts haha. I’m like, “wait, where do I know that song from??” Nice touch!
I agree with your take on shelf clouds 95% of the time, however, I live in Iowa and the August 2020 derecho still lives fresh in my mind. I remember seeing the shelf cloud approaching and thinking it was just your typical squall line. However, this storm was much different. The best description that we locals had for what it looked like was "inland hurricane." Cedar Rapids, the city hit dead center by the Derecho, received damage indicating winds of 120+ mph (190+ kph). The city was out of power for days. Even in my town, which was not the location of the strongest wind speeds, lots of debris was flying through the air, and many entire trees and power lines were downed. The craziest thing was that the most intense part lasted for over 20 minutes and there were strong gales for a couple of hours after the storm had passed. That is unheard of for an already rare weather phenomenon. Iowa is pretty derecho-prone, we usually see about one a year. But I had not and have not since seen a derecho anywhere near the intensity of that monster. I will never forget that day.
@@MesoMan11 I remember that! I live in the Chicago area, that storm made it all the way to us as well! You guys obviously got the worst of it, but it still got pretty crazy out here. I was at work when it hit. I remember a bunch of people crowding by the cafe windows and outside were small trees being bent at almost a 90 degree angle. I'm jealous of the storms you guys get out there! Whatever Iowa gets we usually get a few hours later, but they always seem to weaken by the time they pass Rockford, IL.
Our weather out here in the Midwest can get a little chaotic and random, so it’s stays interesting. Our tornado traffic isn’t as low as one might think either, as I don’t think the south gets that much more than we do up here, theirs just tend to be a lot stronger. I’ve wanting to save enough money go on an April/May/June storm chase in the heart of tornado alley.
@@MesoMan11 hey fellow iowan! i remember that too! i was just chillin inside and suddenly my neighbor called and said "are you aware of the tree branch in your car?" after the storm me and my parents went outside and there was a massive tree branch through my back windshield. trunk wouldnt open, one of the back doors wouldnt open and the frame of the windshield was ridiculously bent. needless to say that car was totaled.
Thanks! Another great video, I had never heard of some of these before. My first tornado experience was when I was 3 and a small tornado picked up our outhouse without damaging the surrounding trees and buildings, carried it down the hill across the road and into the trees along the river. Pretty amazing. I like your cat, they always like to be the stars of everything, don't they? What is its name?
Oh wow! Thanks so much for the super thanks! Im glad that everyone was okay and that no one was using the outhouse.. Her name is Pluto! I have two cats, the other one being named Neptune. Neptune is shy and sweet, while Pluto is the opposite and always likes to be in the way haha
Stronger in what way? Mars has an extremely extremely thin atmosphere. So I don’t think they’d be nearly as “forceful” even if the “wind speed” is high. But I highly doubt we have any good estimates and certainly no direct measurements
@extragoogleaccount6061 yeah I'm assuming they mean wind speeds from an extremely thin atmosphere, but in terms of destruction or how it would feel to a human it's doubtful it would be much different.
So glad I came across your channel, I am facinated by weather and I love the way you produce your videos and the topics you explain! Keep it up man im loving it.
I have lived in Ottawa since 2015 and was in the blackout for 5 days during the 2018 tornado but I don't know anything about the 2013 tornado.. What was that like?
When I was a kid, pretty much every cloud that had a cone/triangular shape gave me a panic attack 😂 especially the cold air funnels, which we get a lot. I knew nothing about tornados outside of the fact that they plagued my nightmares, until I finally decided to get over my fears and watch a video of one for the first time ever last year. Ever since then, I've been hooked. Now that I have a better understanding of them, I'm not so worried one is going to pop out at any time in my northern Michigan home lol I used to think they could just show up at any time if it was cloudy or rainy 🤦♀️ it was an annoying phobia.
@@deathbloom27yeah i have lilapsophobia and it's really annoying when it gets windy or there is a cold air funnel from a lightning storm. So I pretty much have a panic attack whenever it's windy or there's a dust devil/funnel cloud
The ef3 that just hit deer park last week was definitely rainwrapped. But judging by the damage I saw on bird's eye view, I'm confident it was also a multiple vortex due to it's inconsistent but wide spread damage.
The dead giveaway of a multi-vortex tornado is a path of destruction with a few structures of similar construction left mostly unscathed within the path, not just on its periphery.
Fun Fact: The Elie MB tornado wasn't even an F5 at its maturity, rather when it was roping out, the storm spun excessively, you can even see this video, the famous picture of it actually was taken when it was an F1-F2. Another fact! : The Jarrell TX tornado was actually a landspout that transitioned into a tornado, you can see this in video, there is no mesocyclone at the start,rather it started building one when it matured.
I saw a baby dust devil on my way home from work today! There’s some construction on my route, and the blocked off lanes are all dusty with dirt. At first, I thought there was just a gust of wind, but then when I got closer, I realized it was an actual whirlwind of dust. It was pretty small, probably no more than six feet in diameter, and I looked up and saw that it had a faint tail. It only stayed around for less than a minute before disappearing, but it was really cool to actually see one up close. I never thought I’d get excited about seeing a whirlwind in general, but watching your videos has made me more knowledgeable and less afraid of natural phenomena.
Actually most tornadoes are multi-vortex at various times during their lives. Primitive imaging before we developed better motion picture techniques did not show the phenomena. People did not know what they were looking at when they saw them. Ted Fujita and his teams of researchers were able to demonstrate this in lab conditions. This also explains why one house was decimated while the house next door was barely touched
8:52 My hometown in the middle of the mountains was visited by a landspout tornado in 2008. It's what sparked my extreme phobia and fear of tornadoes, even though it had zero reported deaths, injuries, or even damage. It was apparently very small, only about the size of a trampoline or two. It's the only tornado my hometown has seen, although we have seen far too many funnel clouds than what is comfortable....some were pretty massive funnel clouds, too....Thank god they didn't touch down. I have seen landspouts in my town since then (might've been cold air funnels), but I have to wonder if I should be terrified or not? They're usually extremely thin and I've never heard of a single one injuring anyone or even causing noteworthy damage. (I have heard of them causing terror in other parts of the country though) Should I be scared or is it usually okay to just look and be like "hehe, that's cool"?
A landspout can be dangerous, some reaching windspeeds that make them technically EF3s, at which point the roof of a house can be ripped off, but the vast majority are harmless. Just don't go too close I guess, even a weak one will get dust and dirt in your eyes and that sucks.
We had a waterspout hit our bay in the middle of an extremely populated festival that sits at the coast when I was 5. I don't remember much, just my dad dragging me by the hand and booking it to the buildings, the sand hitting my skin, finding a covered cove at an entrance and him holding me against the wall. It was over within minutes, but like a dozen boats were beached and destroyed, the docks torn up, we went back to the festival but I had zero interest in staying after that lol. It was oddly very sunny afterwards, it was just spooky to my little 5 year old brain. After that, I was absolutely terrified of anything close to a tornado until I started watching videos about them and learned more.
One thing you lightly mentioned was that windspeed does not correlate with size (you mentioned Elie, CA and drillbit). A lot of people still think that wedge = EF5 which is not true all the time. Other than that, well done!
One of the most horrific fire tornadoes I ever read about was during the Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871 in Wisconsin, which was the deadliest wildfire in US history. There was reportedly a massive fire tornado within that firestorm that tossed railroad cars and houses. One of the lesser known natural disasters in our nation's history.
So highly excited for every one of your videos. I'm always so intrigued by tornados, and your covering of it and your excitement with it is infectious and that's the kind of entertainment I look for!
I love the video! Although I was a bit disappointed when you left out the twin/satellite tornado category, it still was really cool getting to learn about the other none-tornadic whirlwinds!
Awesome video!! I hope you do one on “radar deadzones” I think that would be very interesting. There’s a few I know of in the US, one of them I live by near the MT/ND border. Oh also, you missed a couple in your vid! 😜 you didn’t mention “deep sea eddies” which is essentially a tornado vortex that happens underwater & (correct me if I’m wrong) but I didn’t hear you mention horizontal vortices! Love the vids man!!
I live in a town in-between Amarillo Texas and childress Texas, where a bunch of dust devils commonly are spotted in farms near the highway, always dancing around. They're normally a small spout that forms and eventually disappears before it even gets 10ft tall. It always happens in summer. (As he explains when the ground needs to be hot)
Very informative. Years ago working with NCFS we were doing site preparation burn on a large tract. Sections of it were heavily fueled with dead and living underbrush. We saw what I thought was a firenado but after watching this it was a fire whirlwind. It managed to lift a small tree that had been bent over by drum chopper. It was awesome and still rare huh . Thanks for sharing.
5:55 i've seen firewhirls at a high school bonfire, one would spin up, drift out of the fire turning into a smoke devil before dissipating, after a few seconds another would spin up. did this multiple times at regular intervals for hours
Started watching a few weeks ago, love your tornado info. Thank you for expanding my tornado interest even further. I also see those Twisters Natures Fury clips you've put in, keeping my childhood alive :)
I live near Michigan during this crazy winter storm of 2022, and I also live in the country so the wind + snow = huge spots in my yard that had a depth of probably 2 feet of snow. It was fun watching little "tornadoes" but nothing was as big as the snow one in this video. Very cool to watch when they are small, though!
If anyone wondering that is a water spout(water tornado) they typically form for under flat cumulus clouds and grow from the water up through an updraft
The Snow Devil was very interesting! I hope you can do an episode on those. Also, maybe an episode on that huge firenado you showed. I never heard about that firenado/ tornado developing in the fire before. That really did peak my interest. Thanks!!
I remember reading and see videos showing that under some rare circumstances, small and weak fair weather waterspouts are sometimes known to form in swimming pools. They don't get very big though and are barely visible.
Yes, cumulonimbus supercells are a type of thunderstorm. They are characterized by their tall, anvil-shaped clouds and their strong rotating updrafts. Supercells can produce tornadoes, hail, and heavy rain
Watching from northern Canada. At Christmas this past year I was traveling even further north during a snowstorm to visit my daughter and family. Driving in bad snowy weather is not abnormal up here. I have good snow tires so I wasn't too worried. Usually the highway has thick pine forest on both sides of the road but I was driving on a stretch of highway that had been clear cut. A huge snow tornado formed and crossed the highway right in front of me. I'd heard about them but had never seen one. It was an awesome sight. I stopped my car and watched it. It went as high into the sky as I could see. I've seen little snow swirls before but nothing like this. I can't imagine seeing or being in a wind tornado out on the plains. Nature is terrifying.
Here in Utah, I love it when the weather's perfect for dust devils since they're the closing thing I can get to a tornado around here. Got a video of a really cool one earlier in the summer.
I remember in 3rd and 4th grade, I was obsessed with tornadoes and just severe weather in general. I think im going back to that phase. Thanks for making this video!!
Anytime I see these videos I’m always waiting for my hometown to get mentioned. I was like 9 or 10 and tornado was so scary. We had a shelter we went down to frequently because we had tornados once or twice a week, and when we heard the news reporter say that Walmart and rangeline was just gone I was bawling in fear. My whole town pretty much demolished, when every tornado we had before that did minimal damage. Rain wrapped tornados are horrifying, and the sky was so clear before! what’s weird is after that 2011 tornado we don’t get warnings anywhere near the frequency we used to here, 4 to 10 a year instead of like 40. The Joplin tornado like the Moore tornado had very strange circumstances surrounding it, it’s crazy to see how much the worlds weather phenomena change over the years.
1:32 I saw that at a movie theater, me, my friend, her brother, and her cousin kept throwing stuff in like leaf’s and sticks and we ran away from it as far as we could lol
I myself have never actually seen a tornado in person, but I did see the anvil (the higher, circular part) of a supercell or "thunder cloud" once. It was pretty darn cool to see from a long distance, to be honest.
Where do you live that you’ve only ever seen one anvil cloud? Most thunderstorms have them, though sometimes you can’t see them because other clouds are in the way.
Dust devils are a fairly constant occurrence in the Arizona desert. If you're able to get a bit of elevation and you look out over areas of the Phoenix metro closer to the edge of all the suburbs as they meet open desert, you'll see them popping in and out of existence during the warm hours of each day.
Let me see if I get the idea of the Land spout 9:25... So to make it (to understand in my words...) The Land Spout is like and upsidedown weak tornado? (😂 It sounds funny in that way)
Aside from an amazing video on the different types of whirlwinds, may I just commend you on your choice of background tracks? That was a lovely trip down nostalgia lane. Especially the Donkey Kong and Sims tracks :3
Spending a lot of time in the West Australian outback I've seen plenty of dust devils (known as "Willy willy"s in Australia). The most memorable was in March 2011 after just turning off the main highway towards Shark Bay. There were dozens of willy willys all around, it was pretty impressive. I was also very chuffed to a get a photo of a steam devil above Grand Prismatic Spring when I visited Yellowstone in 2016.
hi, very recent sub here (as in, subbed when you told me to sub in this video) and i just wanna say thank you so much for your outro music in this video. i grew up watching/listening to weatherscan and was literally heartbroken when it was taken off the air so many years ago. it is so ingrained into my childhood because i was diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes at 10 months old and my mother had to test my bloodsugar every half hour to an hour throughout the nights and she'd turn on weatherscan instead of the lamp because the light was somewhat better. ok, sorry for random personal dump, i just wanted to say thank you because weatherscan means a lot to me and i havent heard that music in years and now im emotional . good videos i love tornados byE!!!!!
The snow spouts appear on Lake Champlain in the deep winter. When the lake is frozen over, with frigid temps and winds blowing North to South, the Spouts can be seen on the New York side of the lake. Ive seen them a few winters. It looks like a Squall of snow but if you look close on a few of them, you can see a spout. but only North to South.

Now that I have a better understanding of them, I'm not so worried one is going to pop out at any time in my northern Michigan home lol I used to think they could just show up at any time if it was cloudy or rainy 🤦♀️ it was an annoying phobia.
Right like there’s not even hail or thunder … or a couplet, hook echo, or a debris ball on radar
@deathbloom27 this was actually really refreshing to read, thanks
@@deathbloom27yeah i have lilapsophobia and it's really annoying when it gets windy or there is a cold air funnel from a lightning storm. So I pretty much have a panic attack whenever it's windy or there's a dust devil/funnel cloud

@@costinaosan3555 I agree
Solid and informative vid as always, especially liked the perfect use of DK Country underwater theme @7:25 - great memories of that game.
i literally scrolled the comments to see if someone commented about the music because it was so familiar to me but i couldnt quite place it thank you
aquatic ambience. i love smoking to this song and turning the room blue with the led's i love ittttt
I feel like the “Not Tornado” Category should also include straight winds 🌧 🌪
And hurricanes
Yea, at least derechos for sure
Agreed, shear-force (not sheer) winds here in the Midwest can be super damaging and dangerous, but are typically non-cyclonic.
This is a list of just whirlwinds, not straight line winds.
@@NarNarHDderechos are the same thing as straight winds just arent from line of Strom's like straight line winds typically happen with
I live like 5 minutes form the clip at 5:14 it’s pretty cool that you used that clip
Cool
7:15 Woah that BGM instantly gave me goosebumps of nostalgia!
"Aquatic Ambience" from SNES Donkey Kong Country. You have good taste! 🤩👏🏻👏🏻
I experienced a Leaf Eddie.
The funny thing is that there were a lot of leaves around, and all of them were picked up and went up like 4 metres
you spelled my name accidentally. those are called *eddy’s*
@@A183real irony?
@Gic424_YT yeah well when it’s autumn in the uk, it’s kinda common. Gusts were like 20-30 mph at the time
i saw one but with walmart bags and i stepped in ti and it disappeared
They’re either eddies or an eddy
The ef3 that just hit deer park last week was definitely rainwrapped. But judging by the damage I saw on bird's eye view, I'm confident it was also a multiple vortex due to it's inconsistent but wide spread damage.
The dead giveaway of a multi-vortex tornado is a path of destruction with a few structures of similar construction left mostly unscathed within the path, not just on its periphery.

Fun Fact: The Elie MB tornado wasn't even an F5 at its maturity, rather when it was roping out, the storm spun excessively, you can even see this video, the famous picture of it actually was taken when it was an F1-F2.
Another fact! : The Jarrell TX tornado was actually a landspout that transitioned into a tornado, you can see this in video, there is no mesocyclone at the start,rather it started building one when it matured.
That's a hand off.
@UnchainedAmerica Nope, the landspout merged with a mesocyclone and formed a monster. Watch the documentary. Uninformed ppl, man …
@@NicoleStevensHays11xuh no. Just isn’t possible
I saw a baby dust devil on my way home from work today! There’s some construction on my route, and the blocked off lanes are all dusty with dirt. At first, I thought there was just a gust of wind, but then when I got closer, I realized it was an actual whirlwind of dust. It was pretty small, probably no more than six feet in diameter, and I looked up and saw that it had a faint tail. It only stayed around for less than a minute before disappearing, but it was really cool to actually see one up close.
I never thought I’d get excited about seeing a whirlwind in general, but watching your videos has made me more knowledgeable and less afraid of natural phenomena.
Legit baked and stumbled upon this video in the corners of RUclips …the first 15 seconds was a dope ass intro man. Fuhreal.
Actually most tornadoes are multi-vortex at various times during their lives. Primitive imaging before we developed better motion picture techniques did not show the phenomena. People did not know what they were looking at when they saw them. Ted Fujita and his teams of researchers were able to demonstrate this in lab conditions. This also explains why one house was decimated while the house next door was barely touched
8:52 My hometown in the middle of the mountains was visited by a landspout tornado in 2008. It's what sparked my extreme phobia and fear of tornadoes, even though it had zero reported deaths, injuries, or even damage. It was apparently very small, only about the size of a trampoline or two. It's the only tornado my hometown has seen, although we have seen far too many funnel clouds than what is comfortable....some were pretty massive funnel clouds, too....Thank god they didn't touch down. I have seen landspouts in my town since then (might've been cold air funnels), but I have to wonder if I should be terrified or not? They're usually extremely thin and I've never heard of a single one injuring anyone or even causing noteworthy damage. (I have heard of them causing terror in other parts of the country though)
Should I be scared or is it usually okay to just look and be like "hehe, that's cool"?
A landspout can be dangerous, some reaching windspeeds that make them technically EF3s, at which point the roof of a house can be ripped off, but the vast majority are harmless. Just don't go too close I guess, even a weak one will get dust and dirt in your eyes and that sucks.
A phobia of tornadoes actually exists and its called "lilapsophobia" its basically a fear of tornadoes and hurricanes
For the most part it's ok to think they're cool, just give them the respect they're due
We had a waterspout hit our bay in the middle of an extremely populated festival that sits at the coast when I was 5. I don't remember much, just my dad dragging me by the hand and booking it to the buildings, the sand hitting my skin, finding a covered cove at an entrance and him holding me against the wall. It was over within minutes, but like a dozen boats were beached and destroyed, the docks torn up, we went back to the festival but I had zero interest in staying after that lol. It was oddly very sunny afterwards, it was just spooky to my little 5 year old brain. After that, I was absolutely terrified of anything close to a tornado until I started watching videos about them and learned more.
One thing you lightly mentioned was that windspeed does not correlate with size (you mentioned Elie, CA and drillbit). A lot of people still think that wedge = EF5 which is not true all the time.
Other than that, well done!
Yeah we had an EF2 wedge recently.

One of the most horrific fire tornadoes I ever read about was during the Great Peshtigo Fire of 1871 in Wisconsin, which was the deadliest wildfire in US history. There was reportedly a massive fire tornado within that firestorm that tossed railroad cars and houses. One of the lesser known natural disasters in our nation's history.
So highly excited for every one of your videos. I'm always so intrigued by tornados, and your covering of it and your excitement with it is infectious and that's the kind of entertainment I look for!
Glad you like them!
Ya know it’s a good day when Swegle posts a new video!
It's always a good day when Swegle Studios puts out some new content.
I love the video! Although I was a bit disappointed when you left out the twin/satellite tornado category, it still was really cool getting to learn about the other none-tornadic whirlwinds!
Once at recess, a MASSIVE leaf eddy came through. It was TALLER THAN THE TALLEST EQUIPMENT!
ok
Awesome video!! I hope you do one on “radar deadzones” I think that would be very interesting. There’s a few I know of in the US, one of them I live by near the MT/ND border. Oh also, you missed a couple in your vid! 😜 you didn’t mention “deep sea eddies” which is essentially a tornado vortex that happens underwater & (correct me if I’m wrong) but I didn’t hear you mention horizontal vortices! Love the vids man!!
The Lavanado looks so cool, like the second video that was about Lavanados it was like a hand reaching in the water!! 🌪🔥
I live in a town in-between Amarillo Texas and childress Texas, where a bunch of dust devils commonly are spotted in farms near the highway, always dancing around. They're normally a small spout that forms and eventually disappears before it even gets 10ft tall. It always happens in summer. (As he explains when the ground needs to be hot)
Very informative. Years ago working with NCFS we were doing site preparation burn on a large tract. Sections of it were heavily fueled with dead and living underbrush.
We saw what I thought was a firenado but after watching this it was a fire whirlwind. It managed to lift a small tree that had been bent over by drum chopper. It was awesome and still rare huh . Thanks for sharing.
My seven year old son and I are SUPER grateful for your work on this! Thanks so much ❤❤
5:55 i've seen firewhirls at a high school bonfire, one would spin up, drift out of the fire turning into a smoke devil before dissipating, after a few seconds another would spin up. did this multiple times at regular intervals for hours
Started watching a few weeks ago, love your tornado info. Thank you for expanding my tornado interest even further. I also see those Twisters Natures Fury clips you've put in, keeping my childhood alive :)
I live near Michigan during this crazy winter storm of 2022, and I also live in the country so the wind + snow = huge spots in my yard that had a depth of probably 2 feet of snow. It was fun watching little "tornadoes" but nothing was as big as the snow one in this video. Very cool to watch when they are small, though!
I’m from Michigan, that Wes definitely a crazy storm.
didnt michigan have an F3 tornado in like may that year
This is awesome!!! I love the Lava ones 😂 I'm gonna stay tuned for your next video!!
If anyone wondering that is a water spout(water tornado) they typically form for under flat cumulus clouds and grow from the water up through an updraft
Soooo, so cool. The Carr fire tornado video was mesmerizing. I never knew there were so many spinny tornado-like things?😳
Dude I love your channel and have been subbed since like 1000 subs and watching your videos and subscribers grow is incredible, keep up the great work
Thanks! I love to hear from OG subs!
The Snow Devil was very interesting! I hope you can do an episode on those. Also, maybe an episode on that huge firenado you showed. I never heard about that firenado/ tornado developing in the fire before. That really did peak my interest. Thanks!!
I grew up along the banks of Lake Erie in north east Ohio. I’ve seen probably 4 or 5 water spouts in my life. They are absolutely beautiful.
that intro was, in fact, sick
I remember reading and see videos showing that under some rare circumstances, small and weak fair weather waterspouts are sometimes known to form in swimming pools. They don't get very big though and are barely visible.
Hi! Quick question! At 10:03 you say to look at the difference between a supercell vs other types of clouds. Are cumulonimbus clouds supercells?
Yes, cumulonimbus supercells are a type of thunderstorm. They are characterized by their tall, anvil-shaped clouds and their strong rotating updrafts. Supercells can produce tornadoes, hail, and heavy rain
No they aren’t. A supercell is a thunderstorm with a mesocyclone. Thunderstorms are usually made of cumulonimbus clouds.
Watching from northern Canada. At Christmas this past year I was traveling even further north during a snowstorm to visit my daughter and family. Driving in bad snowy weather is not abnormal up here. I have good snow tires so I wasn't too worried. Usually the highway has thick pine forest on both sides of the road but I was driving on a stretch of highway that had been clear cut. A huge snow tornado formed and crossed the highway right in front of me. I'd heard about them but had never seen one. It was an awesome sight. I stopped my car and watched it. It went as high into the sky as I could see. I've seen little snow swirls before but nothing like this. I can't imagine seeing or being in a wind tornado out on the plains. Nature is terrifying.
i like the way you... oh and its my first time so... anywas i like the way you do the intro😉🙂
Great video keep it up 🔥
Here in Utah, I love it when the weather's perfect for dust devils since they're the closing thing I can get to a tornado around here. Got a video of a really cool one earlier in the summer.
I Never Thought That Jesus Himself Is Gonna Explain Different Type Of Tornadoes 💀
Bro💀
He doesn’t even look like Jesus bro
@@AquaBird-FCM02take a joke loser😂
Stop
Stawwp it
I would love to see what a water tornado looks like from underneath the water. Probably something no one has ever seen
It looks like a vortex underwater
I was thinking a similar thing about what it must do to the surface of the water. I really wonder how much water they suck up!
This video was absolutely epic
I remember in 3rd and 4th grade, I was obsessed with tornadoes and just severe weather in general. I think im going back to that phase. Thanks for making this video!!
Me too
9:32 the first sign of a supercell tornado is the clash of clans intro sound
Anytime I see these videos I’m always waiting for my hometown to get mentioned. I was like 9 or 10 and tornado was so scary. We had a shelter we went down to frequently because we had tornados once or twice a week, and when we heard the news reporter say that Walmart and rangeline was just gone I was bawling in fear. My whole town pretty much demolished, when every tornado we had before that did minimal damage. Rain wrapped tornados are horrifying, and the sky was so clear before! what’s weird is after that 2011 tornado we don’t get warnings anywhere near the frequency we used to here, 4 to 10 a year instead of like 40. The Joplin tornado like the Moore tornado had very strange circumstances surrounding it, it’s crazy to see how much the worlds weather phenomena change over the years.
The intro makes me think it would be a good idea to have a creepy tornado themed analog horror series
Such a sick intro
7:20 Amazing use of the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack!
Great video, very well done and informative.
1:32 I saw that at a movie theater, me, my friend, her brother, and her cousin kept throwing stuff in like leaf’s and sticks and we ran away from it as far as we could lol
I myself have never actually seen a tornado in person, but I did see the anvil (the higher, circular part) of a supercell or "thunder cloud" once. It was pretty darn cool to see from a long distance, to be honest.
Where do you live that you’ve only ever seen one anvil cloud? Most thunderstorms have them, though sometimes you can’t see them because other clouds are in the way.
I love the use of the cookie clicker ost, the song are great. C418 truly makes some great songs
And he's cool with RUclipsrs using his music for free so that's nice
@@SwegleStudios yeah
Are we going to talk about the Sims 1 Music (Buildmode 1) ? You've made my day!
Dust devils are a fairly constant occurrence in the Arizona desert. If you're able to get a bit of elevation and you look out over areas of the Phoenix metro closer to the edge of all the suburbs as they meet open desert, you'll see them popping in and out of existence during the warm hours of each day.
“Rope tornadoes are typically weak” Jarrel has entered the chat (was the first clip showed of rope tornadoes )
rope tornadoes can tie you
The Jarrell Texas Tornado only started as a rope tornado, then grew into a wedge. Even then it was strong, skinning cattle and such.
Let me see if I get the idea of the Land spout 9:25... So to make it (to understand in my words...) The Land Spout is like and upsidedown weak tornado? (😂 It sounds funny in that way)
I’ve created a fire tornado by accident in an outdoor fireplace and it was life changing to say the least

Aside from an amazing video on the different types of whirlwinds, may I just commend you on your choice of background tracks? That was a lovely trip down nostalgia lane. Especially the Donkey Kong and Sims tracks :3
Hi what a pretty picture you've on your profile! Just decided to stop by and say Hi!! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊
As someone who lives in Arizona, the only whirlwinds I've ever seen, and hope to ever see, are dust devils.
10:52 "making my way down-"
Exactly the type of video I was looking for. Thanks!
Spending a lot of time in the West Australian outback I've seen plenty of dust devils (known as "Willy willy"s in Australia). The most memorable was in March 2011 after just turning off the main highway towards Shark Bay. There were dozens of willy willys all around, it was pretty impressive. I was also very chuffed to a get a photo of a steam devil above Grand Prismatic Spring when I visited Yellowstone in 2016.
13:00 imagine going to KFC with the sky literally looking black in a area that is at risk of tornadoes. But hey, At least you got chicken.
my favorite part was when he said "it's swegl'in time" and then swegl'ed all over them
😂 That was my favorite part too
3:11 bro how does dust devils do that?
Thank yoh for making me not scared of tornadoes anymore the best channel yet who makes people not scared
hi, very recent sub here (as in, subbed when you told me to sub in this video) and i just wanna say thank you so much for your outro music in this video. i grew up watching/listening to weatherscan and was literally heartbroken when it was taken off the air so many years ago. it is so ingrained into my childhood because i was diagnosed with type 1 juvenile diabetes at 10 months old and my mother had to test my bloodsugar every half hour to an hour throughout the nights and she'd turn on weatherscan instead of the lamp because the light was somewhat better. ok, sorry for random personal dump, i just wanted to say thank you because weatherscan means a lot to me and i havent heard that music in years and now im emotional . good videos i love tornados byE!!!!!
We have that at my school all the time. 1:20
Steam devils are actually extremely common, almost always accruing with fog.
And over pools

The snow spouts appear on Lake Champlain in the deep winter. When the lake is frozen over, with frigid temps and winds blowing North to South, the Spouts can be seen on the New York side of the lake. Ive seen them a few winters. It looks like a Squall of snow but if you look close on a few of them, you can see a spout. but only North to South.
I love how your dog is just walking around on your desk nice video!
