TORNADO WARNING to FLYING ROOF
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2016
- Incredible destructive tornado caught on 4K video with an entire flying roof, hovering trees, whirling 2x4's, clear loud sound of a tornado and leveled houses in extreme detail. This is the story of the May 9th, 2016 Katie-Wynnewood & Sulphur Oklahoma tornadoes. For licensing contact hankschyma@yahoo.com
In less than one hour a cumulus cluster would explode into a powerful supercell producing tornadoes with enough power to suck the roof off a house and toss its fragments a hundred meters.
The Katie - Wynnewood Oklahoma Tornado
The first tornado passed inside a mile to my south ripping up trees and striking a house. The tornado sound was a loud gushing waterfall sound and clearly audible. The house didn't sustain a direct hit, yet the entire roof was sucked off its walls and lifted into the tornado, then ripped apart as the bulk of the matter was tossed an estimated 100 meters. The rest of the house was demolished earning this tornado an EF4 rating. A tree hovered above the ground, roof trusses and 8 foot long 2x4's were whirling around the tornado like feathers. Only one fatality was reported with this tornado.
The Sulphur Oklahoma Tornado:
Not long after the first tornado dissipated, a second was born. This one a mile wide beast! It would cause major damage to many homes leaving only interior walls standing. A few unanchored homes, mobile homes and outbuildings would be completely leveled or swept away. A large metal storage garage would be swept away and the vehicles INSIDE it thrown up to 280 yards. (over 250 meters)
RaXPol mobile radar recorded winds over 200 MPH over an open field, indicating that this tornado was likely capable of producing EF5 damage. A young man would take shelter in his home's most interior room while his entire house around him was violently demolished. Only the two walls and toilet he is clinging to would remain. He will walk away without a scratch.
Tornado Preparation:
In the event of a tornado warning, get to the lowest level of a sturdy structure and put as many walls between you and the outside chaos as possible... a bathroom or a closet... whatever is in the center of the home away from windows. There are no guarantees when it comes to tornado safety, but in most cases, this advice works! If you live on the top floor of a small apartment and don't really have a center room, strike up a friendly conversation with your neighbors on the lowest level and discuss a shelter scenario plan with them.
THE FORECAST:
Three days prior to May 9, 2016 the Storm Prediction caught wind of the potential for tornadoes in Eastern Oklahoma and on the morning of May 9, hatched a 10% chance of tornadoes later upgraded with a chance of significant or powerful tornadoes EF2 and above. At 2:30PM a tornado watch was issued and at 3:09PM an isolated cluster of cumulus clouds were evident on satellite imagery with precipitation revealed on radar. Around 3:39 the NWS issued a severe thunderstorm warning and by 4:08 a tornado warning was issued while a tornado was already in progress. Right out of the gate this storm was producing.

thats a.....sticky situation
Pecos: *Driving almost straight into a mile wide, EF5 tornado*
Also Pecos: "Excuse the shaking"
It's okay man, you are so cool.
WELL, at least he is still alive.
Technically it was a ef3
@@tantalaytermvanich3292 yes that was the damage it did it mostly went through the open and hit little houses that wind was over 200 mph though if it hit a well built house it probably would have been EF5
Bill Paxon played Pecos before Pecos knew he was Pecos.
But tornadoes are basically guaranteed to kill you unless your very lucky so how did his car not flip over??
“A young man would take shelter in his bathroom”
A yes, the Jurassic Park approach.
Or simply cause they don’t have a basement or tornado shelter. My house doesn’t have either so we have to hide underneath our stairs in a closet cause that’s our tornado shelter

It's a running theme on all of Hanks videos that the subtitles always call them burritos.

This video in itself is powerful and tragic, just like the tornado. It’s amazing how quickly it can rip everything from you, including your life. Thank you, storm chasers, for doing your work.

The CC captions are hilarious. They're perfect until he says Tornado & it comes up with either Burrito, Potato or Tomato
The CC captions are messed up. Whenever they’re activated on one of my videos it says these random words and it puts two words together.

"Closed Captions" captions
I had a tornado lift off the ground and fly directly above my head one time. It was just a little higher than a telephone pole off the ground. My friend & I was looking up the throat of it...Yes! Never want to be in that position again! I said OH MY GOD! What amazed me (other than not dying!) When I looked up the very throat of it. It was pure black with stars shining like it was night time. I could see the stars! It only lasted a few seconds and then it was over me and then there was a rainbow of colors in the very tall clouds. I don't know how many people get a opportunity to do that & live to tell about it? It is something I will never forget!
Tomorrow is good 8ddjd
Are you sure you weren't like hallucinating maybe?
So what kind of drugs did you take?
never mind the scoffers mate,i believe you,it's just a colourful image you conjour up
Did you take some sort of drug?
The music Hank uses in his videos honestly fits with his footage so well. This is why I watch his videos. Great footage, great commentary and great music.
I've never seen such clear video of the movement of a funnel cloud. It's absolutely mesmerizing and intimidating.
True
It looks so satisfying
At last someone said it
Love this description.
“Powerful tornadoes sometimes develop horizontal vortices stretching out like dexterous arms on a giant carnivores plant.”
As played out as this joke is, I literally read that exactly when he said that. Lol
I love the octo vortex
And here I thought tornadoes couldn’t get any scarier
Look at the 2011 Tuscaloosa tornado, great example of it.
@@SQUAREHEADSAM1912 ME TOOOO
Only ogs know the title changed
Hank is so good at descriptions when you're watching this at 6 in the morning trying to do schoolwork and listen to the video at the same time :)
the man loosing his life was really sad
Yup
Sad indeed, but the young man spared by clinging to a toilet brings some joy too.
+Rocketninja200 true
+Rocketninja200 the man looks like he's so surprised to live that's sad about the giant tornado impact he's ok which is good and brings light indeed
Really sad
Watching these videos bring back some bad memories.
I remember the Joplin tornado, I was in it. It was the scariest thing ever, it sounded like a train headed right for my house. It was only a block away when it changed directions. I had no where to go. I had to hide in my hallway. You will never forget something like that. The next day me and my family went to see the damage. I have never seen so many bodies in my life. There was even a body crushed under a car, it was horrifying.
To anyone who has never been in a tornado, it is not fun. Tornadoes are scary, very scary. Love your family dearly because something like this could strike at any moment.
ScreamKid101 damn sorry dude
ScreamKid101 i cant even imagine the fear and pain you and everyone went through. i was 25 minutes away from Joplin and it scared us terribly over here too.
Phil the Vile Bile I've been though 2 tornadoes
I mean I have been in a couple tornadoes. Maybe 1-3 or 4. Its not something that happens a lot here in SC. I remember when I heard about two tornadoes touching down at the same time side by side taking the same path.
They only lasted about 10 minutes but I was scared like hell.
One of my friends or some one i know has seen the Moore tornado!!!(5-20-13) omg the sad story of 24 bodies everywhere
Rest In Peace for the man who died during the tornado 🌪 warning ⚠️. May that guy Rest In Peace 😢
I absolutely love your narration! You have a wonderful voice and your knowledge is superb!
4:43-5:36 That piano was haunting, but beautiful. Just like the storm, actually.
That guy who had his house destroyed may have been physically unharmed, but how is he doing emotionally? I'd be scarred for life, personally.
Rachmaninoff's Prelude in c# minor, in case you were curious!

Glad I could help! I've always got to share good classical music :)
The guy with his roof ripped off died, Im pretty sure hank said it in the video im not sure.
@@indicuh3889 I think he was reffering to the other guy who clinged to the 2 walls of his bathroom and survived while his house was destroyed.
*Turn on captions:*
Tornados = tomatoes, burritos and potatoes!😂
Totes!!
A delicious meal if I say so
The captions are just hungry and that’s it cry out asking for food 😂
Kmm-kmm
"A mile-wide EF5 Potato" is pretty darn frightening if you ask me
hands down this is one of my favorite documentaries of yours, something about it is just very compelling - those tips at the end are wonderful too!
Every time I watch you videos, I am impressed with how accurate the "Bob's road" scene in Twister was.
“Of the potential for burritos in eastern Oklahoma and in the morning of May 9th hatched a 10 percent chance of potatos” -subtitles

I literally saw your comment right at the right time, it was too perfect, a rare phenomenon
God I hope those are cheesy potatoes.
“Observe this approaching *burrito* “
Subtitles -_-
XXXDDDD LOLOllol 😂🤣😂
You can't run away from the potatoes. They're powerful and can move incredibly fast. People don't realize they're in danger until they're inside the tomato and being ripped to shreds. If they look like they aren't moving there is a very good chance the tomato is coming towards you. So get as far away as possible before the burrito will ketchup to you. Hopefully that cow will live after this devastating tostito. Turntables are scary. Telephones can grow to massive sizes and strengths. Terribles are terrible. Fritos are killers. Totino's are ugly and beautiful. McDonalds.

Calm while chasing. Poetic in commentary delivery. Where has this dude been my whole life? WOW!
That was an epic video! Great photography and crystal clear video. And some great advise/narration from Pecos Hank! I love this video!
6:50 that thing was a MONSTER! Hank, I really honestly appreciate your videos. I live in Tornado Alley and a few a months ago we FINALLY got a storm shelter. I used to be DEATHLY afraid even just rain! Now I’m able to watch storm chasing and enjoy it
That is awesome! Stay safe. Ive always wanted some kinda bunker just in case, but im not near the valley
We lived in married student housing in Iowa City, and one set of apartments could only offer a windowless bathroom {garden apartments, so if you lived on the 2nd floor, you were really SOL. The nicer ones that we finally moved to had a common area everyone could access, and our storage cages down there were at least below ground. Not like a storm shelter would be, but better than an inside above-ground bathroom. You'd think in Iowa on the western edge of the city, they'd have a little more tornado sense.
I just don’t get it,
Subtitles can produce the words: “(Tornado Sounds!)”, yet also claim that a tomato blew the roof off a house
Wow...
ally ismynickname I’m going to get woooshed But if you don’t already know, he probably made the captions himself
Breaking news someone threw a tomato at a house and it rip off the roof
Good presentation. Love your coverage. Keep up the good work! Be safe!
Hank mate;
Me and my little boy literally love sitting down and watching your videos!
Top job, chief!
Storm chasers are brave souls...be safe,and thank you for what you do for others..
This is fascinating. I have a strange fascination for weather especially tornadoes, and this satisfies me. It is so cool how fast try move. Rest in peace to the life lost and I am praying for all the families who were stuck inside this monster.
Didn't mean to type try, on my phone so I can't edit my comment. Lol.
im with you on the fascination at first i didnt know squat then my family moved to Kansas and i became a little paranoid despite the fact that we never got hit now i know LOTS about tornadoes

Excellent reporting and video, just found these videos and will always look for more. Thanks for being sophisticated and no swearing.
Thank You every time and over again Hank.
If this happens
1.) Go to the basement or if you don't have one go to the bathroom and bring food if you have time
2.) If in in the bathroom hold on to the toilet or go in the bathtub (you can also hide in the dryer or washer for protection)
3.) Pray for not only yourself but your loved ones and even after the tornado is parted stay in a safe room because you don't know what to expect as the aftermath
4.) Make sure you are listening to a radio or looking at the news because once all the storms are gone you can leave where ever you are
5.) Call your loved ones (if you can)
*DISCLAIMER: I am not professional these ideas could save your life but you don't have to do anything if you don't want to they are just tips*
Thank you this is super useful!
(Also i love how you put in Pray For your Loved ones and yourself)
It's better to have a bathroom if not basement
The bathroom wouldn't work for us. The bathroom has a wall that faces the outside, we always have to hide in the hall way.
Proud Hawaiian Watch P rn 😂
The dryer and washer is actually a good idea if you can fit
If I ever experienced a tornado I would probably die not because of the tornado hitting me because of me having a heart attack because I have a extreme fear of wind
good for you...
I had one today omg 😲 I was so scared!
Samslittlesailor 2016 yeah I have that fear too 🤷♀️
Dude I felt the same when I experienced one for the first time. I live in the mountains, so I'm definitely not used to tornadoes. It was headed right for us and I could see it coming for us and hear it. I was on the top floor of a hotel. My parents didn't want to leave (they're crazy). Thankfully we were a near miss. I saw it dissipate in front of me. Never been more scared in my life.
Jizeru1 oh damn :o
Ok so this has probably been one of my favorite vids and it is EPIC your yt Chanel has helped me understand tornadoes better so thank you so much you are one of my favorites!
Hope you're having a good season Hank!
Yet again, no failure at all to put out some of the most terrifyingly beautiful footage I've ever seen. Brilliant job, Hank.
Thanks for watching Bryan.
+Pecos Hank oh my God is the biggest tornado ever seen in my life
I got to say, I've learned a lot from watching your videos!
Me too. Whilst it's really rare that we get tornados in the UK (and of we do they don't tend to occur in the north edge I live), but it's always worth knowing if I plan to visit anywhere that gets them commonly (particularly in Posts of the US) and to be prepared in case it does happen once day.
Yeah, I live in the south of the states, so they are not common, but it's good to know the information should I have to travel in that region.
Did you see the one in Sheffield a few days ago? www.ibtimes.co.uk/uk-weather-tornado-touches-down-sheffield-storms-forecast-rest-country-1581377

This is incredible through headphones and watching at 4k
I used to live with my grandparents, and they have an old-fashioned storm cellar, a literal hole in the ground. It is set into the side of a hill, and is lined with bricks. We've used it many times. They live in Iowa. One of my most vivid memories involving the cellar was about 7 or 8 years ago. My grandfather and I were watching the tornado scene in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. We looked behind the TV and out the window, and I kid you not, it was dark green. Not long after, we looked out the screen door as one of the lawn chairs was being blown across the yard. Now, mind you, these weren't plastic lawn chairs, these were pine wood chairs, not light at all. At that point, we decided to grab our portable NOAA weather radio, get the grandkids and the dogs, and run to the storm cellar. We stayed in the cellar for a little under half an hour. Luckily, the tornado missed the property by about a mile or so. We took a drive to see if any of our friends and neighbors were affected. Turns out, one of our tractor-repair friends suffered a direct hit on his business garage. It was torn to shreds. However, the house, sitting right next door, had next to no damage(just a few broken windows). Anyway, just sharing a tornado story.
Reading your story reminds me of one of mine. My old house 'I have moved since then' had a basement. I did not like going into it. But one day we where getting some major storms and was under tornado watches. I was standing at the back door watching the storm. I had this heavy 3 person yard swing. When I saw that swing go air born I scooped up my chihuahua and ran down into the basement. Just with in seconds it sounded like my deck was being ripped off the house. I was so scared. I always start praying when storms are coming. 🙏 Those few seconds felt like for ever. It was so loud and terrified me. So when it finally stopped I went out and all my deck furniture and gas grill was all up against the house. The grill is heavy too. Then I found out just a couple of miles from me was an EF1 tornado that destroyed a mobile home. Very scary day for sure. But I have seen 2 in my life time both EF1. And since we have moved have had one come with in 2 1/2 miles from us. I was outside taking pictures of the storm and the wind got so bad I had to go in the house. We live in the country now and don't have a basement. But the guy that lives behind us has a storm shelter. But we have been in it. Had to share my story after reading yours. Be safe in storms out there everyone! Love to watch Pecos videos by the way! 😁👍💜 Big fan of weather watching! I just do mine from home.

+Cindy Wylde We have not been in his shelter*
I live in North Central Texas and have encountered 3-3.5 tornadoes. Chronologically it was 2007-2016. Locations were at home, then years later at school, then in Oklahoma on the way back from family. Most recently last year I saw a tornado forming before my very eyes, I saw the updraft and the circulation. I say 3.5 because it was only a funnel cloud, I could not see the rest because of the heavy rain wall and hail. This year should be interesting, storms are supposed to happen this Sunday.
Will Connor there was once a severe thunderstorm when I was at Girl Scout camp a few years ago and I had to comfort a group of terrified 6 year olds who where clinging to me. And little did I know that meanwhile at my house there was a tornado warning and my mother and sister where sheltering under a table because I live in Maryland and we have no basement or tornado shelter because my house is so old
The power of tornados are unbelievable 😮
don’t forget the deadly tomatoes. they can produce violent potatoes

Don't know if you'll see this or not Hank after all this time, but I wanted to let you know that you made me a die hard fan of yours and an arm chair (wish I could do the real thing once) storm chaser.

Growing up in "Tornado Alley" I grew an affection for storms. I love them. Tornadoes are a whole different creature. I watched a tornado form in 1982 and it was amazing!! I would have been a storm chaser if I had been born later!! My prayers go out to all the people affected by these storms. I guess it's like a Lion, beautiful but deadly at the same time!! Ahh nature is awesome!!
No a pitbull
Linda Lowe yup it’s true
I watch your channel religiously. Thank god you're there documenting.
6:07 "And there...Oh my God, mile-wide tornado." Favorite part of this video.
Love you, Hank, and your channel. Amazing camera work and some really powerful images. Stay safe, brother.
Right on Sky.

I love were I live we don't have a tornado
My step dad was a part of Eye Watch back in the 80's. Any significant weather we'd all be in his van, him with his ham radio, reporting where these tornadoes were. To say I've got a very healthy respect for tornadoes is an understatement! One I in particular remember was in spring 1982. We were going from our home in Northeast Texas to see friends in Missouri. Right as wer got to the Paris, Texas city limits 4 tornados touched down. I was only 12 y/o and that was the first time I'd ever seen anything that destructive! One house was cut perfectly in two. I could see in the living area and the chairs were still setting having not been touched. The other half was simply gone. Cows dead. Who housing complexes leveled. People out walking around. My mom looked at my dad and said, "Roy, if we didn't have all these little ones with us I'd get out and help." At 12 I was the oldest of 6 children they had. The youngest was my sister, Karen, who was less than one year old. Fire Dept lifted power lines so we could get through. I'm just thankful we weren't in the direct path if those storms. Thought I'd share that memory.
Wow. I am a newbie here and wow is all I can seem to say. And I love this guy, he is so personable and knowledgeable and funny, how can you not.
Holy cow Hank I cant stop watching your outstanding vids. . Greeting from Cairns Australia
4:45 that music hits me in the feels, it's sad to me because moments before we saw a man die, and that shot shows what a monster that tornado is, evil violent and deadly :(
How can a weather phenomenon be evil?

You think a cat is better than a human, PFF you disgust me.
I feel bad for the cow at the end
Any trees that got thrown can live as long as its roots are in the ground
hard to believe something so devastating can be so beautiful
I live in Kentucky where we just had the massive long track tornado. These videos are very scary to watch but seeing it happen in person has to be much more terrifying. So devastating, prayers for everyone involved 🙏🏻 💔
Mayfield,Kentucky December 10th EF4 tornado?
1:35 chills. I can’t explain why, but it gives me chills.
Because I don't have tornadoes where I love I find them beautiful.
Much like a woman. They suck you in, get you confused on your direction, and leave you hurt and grateful they're gone.
Emojis Are Bae MSP no place is safe from tornadoes except Antarctica
AwesomeDesertTortoises yeah well australia had one in western australia it was a fire one because it was in the middle of a bush fine but in australia its so sos so so so so so rare
AwesomeDesertTortoises and England
Mason_H There have been a few tornadoes in England! Incredibly unimpressive ones, but tornadoes nonetheless.
Man, you easily have some of the most beautiful tornado videos I have ever seen.
Just incredible thank you for this breath taking footage. To see one in person is on my bucket list.WOW
Better start planning a trip to Tornado Alley (or Alabama). Spring & Summer is most likely.
In a time like we live, I like the message your sending, in the event of a crisis, you'll be surprised at how amazing human beings can be. I wish we could all put aside our differences and realize that we are all human beings, no matter how different we may look or think. We all deserve a base level of respect.
