Quite a few years ago, there was a sudden snowfall which covered a tiny portion of South Central L.A. Just a couple square blocks in a residential neighborhood. Given that Los Angeles rarely has any snow, the weather event was disorienting for a lot of people.
Dude, I used to put crew for a friend that raced dirt tracks. It started raining and I yelled awe man, do you think they’ll cancel the race? The guy in the next pit said, for what? I yelled Rain? It was only raining over our pit, it was actually kinda surreal.
I’ve experienced the “localized rain” while driving once. It was 3 small circles it was the weirdest thing. Not raining anywhere else. I’ve also seen it happen many times, it rain at my neighbors in front of my house but not on ours lol, and so on.
I experienced the opposite once. It was raining but there was one largish spot that was getting no rain. You could see the rain but it didn’t seem to make it down. After a while it started raining in that spot but for those few moments it lasted, it seemed really cool. 😂 someone there called it a Virga and said it was warmer in that area which caused the water to evaporate and then once the rain was heavier, it started to reach the ground. Edit: Virga was corrected to Virgo lmao
As a colloquial term there are no definitively set boundaries of Tornado Alley, but the area common to most definitions extends from Texas, through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, North Dakota, Montana, Ohio, and eastern portions of Colorado and Wyoming.
We in the states get fire tornado during forest fires , like the ones in California canyons ! High winds help keep fire fueled and the vortex unfolds in the wind - not nice if your trying to put the fire out ❤
If you have a forest fire it can make its own weather. The heat from a fire rises and new air rushes in and can create quite a breeze or even a heavy wind.
I can remember when my best friend and I were at her sister’s house coloring our hair and we both looked out of two different windows and she says “Wow, look at how hard the rain is coming down!” and me and her sister looked at her like she was nuts and we told her “what’s wrong with you, it’s not raining, it’s snowing!” Sure enough, it was raining on one side of the house and snowing on the other. That was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen, weather wise! We were around 15 and 16 years old. Mother Nature and God have great senses of humor.This happened in Laramie, Wyoming. Greetings from Loveland, Colorado, USA 🇺🇸
Regarding the crown flashes... Thin ice crystals in the upper atmosphere reflect and refract sunlight like millions of tiny prisms. They align themselves in patterns as they fall through the air or are blown upwards by updrafts due to their shape and due to static charges. Changing wind gusts can quickly rearrange the ice crystals and cloud-to-cloud lightning can instantly realign the direction of the static electric fields. And fire whirls are caused by the same things that cause tornadoes, water spouts and dust devils. Hot air rises, cooler air flows inwards to replace the rising air, and the conservation of angular momentum concentrates the rotational velocity of that air in the same way that an ice skater speeds up when they tuck in their arms. Put all that together and you have a vortex.
You said you wondered what it would be like inside a tornado.... My mother told me a story about what happened to her and my father and my older brothers before I was born. This would have been in the 1940's. She said they had all been out working in the yard, when they heard a sound like a train coming, and she looked up, to see a tornado passing over their heads. As she stood and looked in shock and surprise, she saw tree limbs and trash floating around in a circle in the wind tunnel above her head as it passed them by. No idea where it touched down, but, even now, I am grateful it simply flew by overhead. Thank God!
Over 20 years ago, I was chased across Texas by a swarm of tornadoes over a 2 day period. There's no way I will go chasing one, I've had enough for a lifetime.
The updraft from superintense heat can cause a firenado. Years back, there was a lumberyard that caught fire, in California, I think, but also happened to get hit by an actual tornado at the same time. The sky was was dark and it looked like something straight out of Hell! And it carried flaming debris with it, wreaking all kinds of havoc for a small F1.
One afternoon a few years ago, there was a rain storm in the back yard. Dark clouds, high wind, heavy rain, the works. The front yard was sunny and dry though, no a single drop falling there. Could stand out front and watch the edge of a rain cloud, kinda neat.
I remember a freak snow storm, this was in late June out of a clear sky and over a single house! 2 inches of snow in 5 minutes and melted almost instantly!
About 40 years ago I was driving with a friend and stopped at a red light. It was pouring down rain only in the intersection. We drove away and never saw it move.
The twin tornadoes that hit Pilger, Nebraska (NE) were strong EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. As for fire tornadoes, they are real. The first one ever filmed, was captured on film in Australia during their massive wildfires in 2019/2020. The first one filmed in the USA was filmed in California.
@@jathygamer8746 It's not Mexican food. It's named after Dr. Ted Fujita, & he was born in Japan. I didn't know how to spell Fujita at the time, & Google wasn't helping me. So excuse me for spelling it wrong.
I've never been in a tornado but I once saw a narrow line of trees that were stripped bare after one. All the surrounding trees had all their leaves. It was unnerving!
I have a few firefighters in my family. The worst case scenario, for a fire is when it gets so big and out of control, it actually creates a vortex similar to a tornado and can create it's own weather patterns. In California, we call them firestorms.
That shit is both super cool and scary to witness. I'm in Michigan so it's very rare to see them. Many many years ago, we got invited to a local-ISH college where some of their students made a "fire tornado". Science is cool.
Have you seen the movie “Twister” with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt? It’s about tornadoes and is interesting to watch. I’ve always been fascinated by the weather.
Aircraft black boxes are recording devices. They have nothing to do with actually flying the aircraft. They record things like speed, the attitude of the plane, height from the ground, cockpit audio, and any systems alarms of a plane while it's flying so that if it crashes there is a record of what went on. Small aircraft need some visibility to take off and land. Larger aircraft use an airport's broadcast beacon to help land the plane. In flight all aircraft can and do fly by instruments (and auto pilot in equipped) so you really don't need to see other than to make sure you aren't going to run into another aircraft. All aircraft are actively tracked by air traffic control centers radar and warned of impending collisions. Control assigns you altitudes to your destination according to your flight plan.
I've been in 2 tornados, one in Colorado where the wind speed exceeded the flow rate of my husband's truck air intake and shut it down. The first was in Michigan and it was a rain wrapped tornado, a funnel cloud obscured by water and you can't tell how close it really is. That one was on a motorcycle and the water got so high so fast it was pushing my feet off the pegs.
I live in Michigan. Not sure if you're from here or were just visiting but that's the unfortunate part about Michigan tornadoes. A vast majority of them are rain wrapped. Thankfully lost are not super strong. But, a tornado is a tornado. 🤷♂️ Anyways, glad you and your husband were safe for both of them.
@@Unknown_Paramedic We were heading home on the last 1500 miles of a 4700 mile trip. We started in Montana, went to the Atlantic Ocean, popped into Ontario, Canada for a night and in total rode through 18 states. Had never heard of a rain wrapped tornado until the evening after. Lots of people warned us as we geared up but we (un/fortunately) had a lot of experience riding in rain, snow and hail so we thought we could handle anything and stupidly ignored them.
13:00 He keeps calling the fire whirl a fire-tornado, but that is something else. Fires can create their own weather, as he describes a little later on. A fire-nado has only been recorded twice on earth; once in Australia and once in California. A firenado moves like an actual tornado, spinning fire while moving rapidly across the ground. They can lift up into a cloud and then reach back down to earth, spreading fire over vast distances. Fire whirls are not uncommon and they tend to be small and localized. They still are impressive to see.
i walked into a friends house once for a party dry as as bone only to be funneled immediately to the back porch where everybody was on the back porch because it was pouring down rain. we were questioned how we werent wet .... walked back through the house to show them it still wasnt raining out front.
Loved this video! Weather is amazing, fascinating, and scary! I've actually been in a rain shower where it was raining in my backyard, but not my front yard, but not as localized as just on one car!
I have seen 2 tornados & it doesn't get old. Even people that chase them & seen hundreds are still excited. I have seen highly localized rain. I think this one is a fake. Why wouldn't the storm move as the cloud moves around? Edit: Just had some small hail tonight. We haven't had that in a while.
The rain shaft explanation is good, but as a meteorologist myself, I can tell you I’ve never seen one so small. I witnessed recently a rain shaft which was putting down pouring rain on one side of the restaurant I was in, but not the other. And because of the direction it was moving, precisely parallel to the building, it poured for about 30 minutes on one side of the restaurant and not one drop fell on the other side. Fascinating. But I’ve never seen a rain shaft as tiny as seen in this video. That’s insane. That is a truly rare event.
I live smack dab in the center of tornado alley. Seeing a tornado is ALWAYS crazy. Even the most experienced tornado chasers are on edge when they see one. I recommend watching Reed Timmer. He's the best tornado chaser in the world.
Tornado Alley consists of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, and Ohio. While Dixie Ally stretches from eastern Texas and Arkansas across Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and far western Kentucky to upstate South Carolina and western North Carolina. While Tornado alley does get the most tornadoes. Dixie alley is likely to be the area for a serious outbreak and severe damage. Unlike tornado alley which has a lot of plains and open spaces, Dixie Alley is in most cases more densley populated and therefore the most people are affected on a regular basis. As far as seeing tornadoes, I was crouched on stairs as one in the process of dropping went over my head and touched down about 7 feet away. It was scary, but also exhilarating. As for the rain, I've never seen it on only one car, but I have seen it rain right down the middle of the road, one side of the middle line was raining, the other side not.
5:30 Kabir look up TIV footage TIVs or tornado intercept vehicles do just that, they anchor themselves down infront of a tornados path and get inside the tornado to film and study what goes on inside.
North and South Dakota both get tornados but are too far north to be in Tornado Alley. The two states most often associated with that zone are Kansas and Oklahoma. And every state just north and east from Michigan to Alabama get a lot of them too. Not so much on the east coast though.
Tornadoes are super cool when they're out in a field not damaging someone's home or their life...There was a tornado last night in Oklahoma that ended up taking the lives of a couple people. As someone who is a amateur storm chaser as well as a firefighter/paramedic, I always enjoy seeing tornadoes when they're far away from people and property. But, you're literally playing russian roulette every time they drop from the sky. I've heard several people call tornadoes "The finger of god" for an array of different reasons. Sidebar: You're awesome dude! I always tend to have a much better night after a super long day seeing that you've uploaded. Stay safe over there across the pond.
I’ve seen multiple water spouts form off the North Carolina coast when I was a kid. My parents stopped long enough to let me see them before heading home and higher ground.
Number #4 is actually Pilger, NE. Pecos Hank has a great video on it then him and the research team he is part of went back to that one and it holds a record for fastest tornado speed at 94.6mph but it wasn't a big tornado but a small one like a rope tornado
Also a multi-vortex tornado is two funnels inside of one tornado, that is just two separate tornadoes on the ground at the same time which is rare but it's kinda becoming more often as of late. Plus tornado alley has shifted to the east a little bit more than it's original location.
FLORIDA MAN HERE! A word to the wise, friend: if you were to try to anchor yourself down to the effect of getting inside of a tornado, you would be a dead man. Something that can tear apart buildings in seconds and lift multi-ton vehicles off of the ground would make short work of a human being. It would be like hopping into a blender made of wind.
Hey watching you talk about tornado alley at 9:15 pm in the USA . The news giving warning of tornados east of the ally from Chicago down to Houston , Texas.
I might forget a few things but I will give it a shot. The little black box and autopilot are not related. The little black box is an indestructible box that records EVERYTHING in the plane’s cockpit. It is inaccessible to the flight crew and its purpose is for incident investigators to examine and determine the cause of the event. I would suggest that they belong to the FAA but I don’t know that. From conversations to engines, altimeter, winds and controls status plus things that I am ignorant of, and changes that occur at the controls and maybe even if the cockpit door opens. Did you know that when the crew steps into the cockpit, they do not converse until the plane has completed its flight and the crew exit the cockpit. There is certainly occasional talking, when a crew member speaks to the tower, makes an announcement over the passenger area, confirms settings and systems checks, etc., but casual conversations are banned. The reason for this is that the airlines does not ever want a conversation about how drunk someone got or ANY non flight related conversation is recorded on the black box AND because 100% of their focus should be the job at hand. Meals are not brought to the crew, they bring their own, which I understand post 911. Auto pilot is unrelated to the black box and is part of the flight system controls. Because a flight is often contacted by a tower or the flight crew contacts the tower (excessive turbulence, unplanned traffic in flight path, etc.) and orders or permission is granted to change altitude or heading, I would think that a plane would be taken off autopilot occasionally during flight. I am not a pilot, my father was not a pilot and I didn’t play one on TV. I do have a few friends and had a cousin who were/are commercial pilots. An uncle who was a flight instructor and I used to fly around 10,000+ miles every month for work. I AM a retired scientist (medical) and a fair amount of answers to bizarre phenomena are educated guesses. That doesn’t mean that they are wrong, nor that much of science is unproven as nothing could be further from the truth. Ice crystals causing the light(s) behind the cloud? Looks like a UFO to me BUT they look like reflections and the sun was pretty intense. The movement could have been when a crystal melted or moved slightly with air movement that the reflections would move quickly as the angle of a crystal changed or the crystal below the first one was angled differently. You won’t hear a scientist bring a UFO phenomena into a theory because there is zero proven science about UFOs in any capacity, from any reflectivity of the shell to movements and propulsion, even to the existence of a UFO. We literally know NOTHING about them. Only conjecture, unproven visualizations, whatever. That doesn’t argue for nor against the existence, it only keeps us at square one. We don’t know. We have heard rumors about governmental knowledge, but military is a need to know organization. Nothing is known outside of a very small group in the military and for all we know, they don’t know. There was one more thing I was comfortable commenting on, but I forgot. I WAS a scientist, now I am just a little old lady who will forget things if I have more than a couple of things on a list to try to remember. Short term memory problems that are sporadic in nature. Or, as my retired marine brother would say: I am old. I forget shit. Oh! The fire whorl. I was told that fire whorls are created at the fire because the intense heat of the fire and its immediate surroundings are much warmer than the environmental air, which is the perfect recipe for the whorl or tornado or other whorling event. So that is where they come from. This person worked a lot around oil and gas fires.
Back in 95, there were 5 tornadoes on the ground in the same area of W Texas at the same time. The reporter was in the middle and panned the camera around.
The fire "tornado" isn't a type of tornado by a rip in the fabric of space opening onto the elemental plane of fire. This was also the cause of the fire at the factory.
The guy who had his car rained on probably had just had his car detailed. And the light bouncing around was because the thing driving the UFO was drunk or it's wife couldn't make up it's mind on which direction to go...
About firefighters just watching: If another property or life is not in danger, they will just contain or watch the fire. I guess not to waste resources and risk their own lives. I witnessed this myself along with the whole neighborhood when a church burned down.
A passenger jet can be landed with the instrument landing system ( ILS) However, taking off is done manually. If you want to know more I suggest the RUclips channel, MENTOUR PILOT. He actually goes through an ILS landing in one of his videos. I believe it's titled, CAN A PASSENGER LAND A PLANE. He also goes through many jet accidents. I myself find them very interesting. Check it out Kabir.
I live in Oklahoma, and only twice in my life have I been afraid. Both times they were f5's and went through Moore. Those are the 2 times that I actually went into our shelter. An f5 will flatten everything it comes across and can be a mile wide or more with winds around 300mph
Man Kabir you gotta react to the movie Twister starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. I live in Indiana, we have a lot of tornados too. We just had one a couple of weeks ago.
Tornado Alley starts in Oklahoma goes up through Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa to the north of Oklahoma then to the east of Oklahoma, includes Missouri, Arkansas. It's the center of America with the Rockies just to the west of Oklahoma & Kansas. That's why it starts in Oklahoma, it has had more tornado's annually for decades. It's been expanding to more states to the east & south. Northern Texas does get tornado's but because of the warmth of the Gulf they're not nearly as much. I've seen many many times of rain on 1 side of the street & the other is dry.
Tornado Alley States 2023 It is well known for being a hotspot of tornado activity. Spanning Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Texas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota ...
Watch a movie called ''Twister" with Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, and Cary Elwes where two people strap themselves to pipes going down in the ground and look into the middle of the tornado going over them. I won't spoil it by telling you what they saw.
Never have i heard the Pilger twins being called a "multi vortex tornado".... they are two separate tornadoes that spawned from different supercells..... they are twins. Not one multi vortex
Tornadoes and waterspouts are the same thing, basically. The difference is that the former is over land, and the latter is over water. Another thing needs to be explained as well. A slow-moving sort of monster tornado receives the name hurricane, typhoon or cyclone, depending on where it's located. You can always recognize a storm chaser, in that they're the only one driving at breakneck speeds toward a tornado, rather than away from one. They have to have nerves of steel. I'd feel so stupid if the car in Indonesia were mine, and I'd forgotten to roll my windows up.
Hey...If you're interested in the history of US states at all, there's a video by RealLifeLore about Why Wyoming is vastly emptier than Colorado. If you have the spare time for it, i'd love to see your reaction to it.

Tornadoes are super cool when they're out in a field not damaging someone's home or their life...There was a tornado last night in Oklahoma that ended up taking the lives of a couple people. As someone who is a amateur storm chaser as well as a firefighter/paramedic, I always enjoy seeing tornadoes when they're far away from people and property. But, you're literally playing russian roulette every time they drop from the sky. I've heard several people call tornadoes "The finger of god" for an array of different reasons.
Sidebar: You're awesome dude! I always tend to have a much better night after a super long day seeing that you've uploaded. Stay safe over there across the pond.
I’ve seen multiple water spouts form off the North Carolina coast when I was a kid. My parents stopped long enough to let me see them before heading home and higher ground.
Number #4 is actually Pilger, NE. Pecos Hank has a great video on it then him and the research team he is part of went back to that one and it holds a record for fastest tornado speed at 94.6mph but it wasn't a big tornado but a small one like a rope tornado
Also a multi-vortex tornado is two funnels inside of one tornado, that is just two separate tornadoes on the ground at the same time which is rare but it's kinda becoming more often as of late. Plus tornado alley has shifted to the east a little bit more than it's original location.
Actually the Weather Channel said they were both strong EF4 tornadoes.
Love me some Pecos Hank.
@@tjk200081 that is true. They were both EF4s
El Reno is in Oklahoma. I live in the Texas Panhandle. We're in tornado alley. We've dealt with tornadoes ever since I can remember.
The Great Lakes get a ton of waterspouts, there at the top of the Midwest.
FLORIDA MAN HERE!
A word to the wise, friend: if you were to try to anchor yourself down to the effect of getting inside of a tornado, you would be a dead man. Something that can tear apart buildings in seconds and lift multi-ton vehicles off of the ground would make short work of a human being. It would be like hopping into a blender made of wind.
I love the crown flashes. Reminds me of light pillers and ice rings arounf the sun.
YES!! I WANT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE!! 🌪☁️
Hey watching you talk about tornado alley at 9:15 pm in the USA . The news giving warning of tornados east of the ally from Chicago down to Houston , Texas.
There is a movie called Twister...pretty good depiction of different types of tornado in the movie.
I've always wanted to see a fire rainbow.
Fires can actually generate their own winds and weather
That last one was crazy!
I've seen what it looks like inside of a tornado when I watched, "Twister".
Those water spouts in Thailand occurred at Koh Lipe back in 2018.
The sky turns green. For real.
Can you imagine living in the past and having rain come down only on your farm durring a drought?
People would think you were a witch.
I might forget a few things but I will give it a shot. The little black box and autopilot are not related. The little black box is an indestructible box that records EVERYTHING in the plane’s cockpit. It is inaccessible to the flight crew and its purpose is for incident investigators to examine and determine the cause of the event. I would suggest that they belong to the FAA but I don’t know that. From conversations to engines, altimeter, winds and controls status plus things that I am ignorant of, and changes that occur at the controls and maybe even if the cockpit door opens. Did you know that when the crew steps into the cockpit, they do not converse until the plane has completed its flight and the crew exit the cockpit. There is certainly occasional talking, when a crew member speaks to the tower, makes an announcement over the passenger area, confirms settings and systems checks, etc., but casual conversations are banned. The reason for this is that the airlines does not ever want a conversation about how drunk someone got or ANY non flight related conversation is recorded on the black box AND because 100% of their focus should be the job at hand. Meals are not brought to the crew, they bring their own, which I understand post 911. Auto pilot is unrelated to the black box and is part of the flight system controls. Because a flight is often contacted by a tower or the flight crew contacts the tower (excessive turbulence, unplanned traffic in flight path, etc.) and orders or permission is granted to change altitude or heading, I would think that a plane would be taken off autopilot occasionally during flight. I am not a pilot, my father was not a pilot and I didn’t play one on TV. I do have a few friends and had a cousin who were/are commercial pilots. An uncle who was a flight instructor and I used to fly around 10,000+ miles every month for work.
I AM a retired scientist (medical) and a fair amount of answers to bizarre phenomena are educated guesses. That doesn’t mean that they are wrong, nor that much of science is unproven as nothing could be further from the truth. Ice crystals causing the light(s) behind the cloud? Looks like a UFO to me BUT they look like reflections and the sun was pretty intense. The movement could have been when a crystal melted or moved slightly with air movement that the reflections would move quickly as the angle of a crystal changed or the crystal below the first one was angled differently. You won’t hear a scientist bring a UFO phenomena into a theory because there is zero proven science about UFOs in any capacity, from any reflectivity of the shell to movements and propulsion, even to the existence of a UFO. We literally know NOTHING about them. Only conjecture, unproven visualizations, whatever. That doesn’t argue for nor against the existence, it only keeps us at square one. We don’t know. We have heard rumors about governmental knowledge, but military is a need to know organization. Nothing is known outside of a very small group in the military and for all we know, they don’t know.
There was one more thing I was comfortable commenting on, but I forgot. I WAS a scientist, now I am just a little old lady who will forget things if I have more than a couple of things on a list to try to remember. Short term memory problems that are sporadic in nature. Or, as my retired marine brother would say: I am old. I forget shit. Oh! The fire whorl. I was told that fire whorls are created at the fire because the intense heat of the fire and its immediate surroundings are much warmer than the environmental air, which is the perfect recipe for the whorl or tornado or other whorling event. So that is where they come from. This person worked a lot around oil and gas fires.
I have seen 2 water spouts fishing out of Panama City Florida they were cool to look at we were far from them
What a upload
Back in 95, there were 5 tornadoes on the ground in the same area of W Texas at the same time. The reporter was in the middle and panned the camera around.
That was very interesting….all of it.
The last one looked like an alien or UFO playing peek a boo! lol
The fire "tornado" isn't a type of tornado by a rip in the fabric of space opening onto the elemental plane of fire. This was also the cause of the fire at the factory.
Wind will always make fire dance.
Fire tornadoes are common in forest fires. Same thing going on in 'dust devils'.
I've been in a spot where i could see the rain line, and I'd step into and then out of the rain 😅
If you want to see a tornado IRL, it's still early in the season so there is still time! Come to Iowa and I'm sure we can find one somewhere.
wild fires in the US cause firenados all the time
The guy who had his car rained on probably had just had his car detailed. And the light bouncing around was because the thing driving the UFO was drunk or it's wife couldn't make up it's mind on which direction to go...
In the eye of the tornado it's calm as hell and bright and sunny in some cases with hardly a breeze blowing but once u get to the eye wall ur screwed
You're thinking of a hurricane. The center or eye of tornadoes have a massive updraft that would pull you up in it.
Maybe
here in California we had a small tornado. Montebello, ca. buildings were red tagged 😮
About firefighters just watching: If another property or life is not in danger, they will just contain or watch the fire. I guess not to waste resources and risk their own lives.
I witnessed this myself along with the whole neighborhood when a church burned down.
A passenger jet can be landed with the instrument landing system ( ILS) However, taking off is done manually. If you want to know more I suggest the RUclips channel, MENTOUR PILOT. He actually goes through an ILS landing in one of his videos. I believe it's titled, CAN A PASSENGER LAND A PLANE. He also goes through many jet accidents. I myself find them very interesting. Check it out Kabir.
I live in Oklahoma, and only twice in my life have I been afraid. Both times they were f5's and went through Moore. Those are the 2 times that I actually went into our shelter. An f5 will flatten everything it comes across and can be a mile wide or more with winds around 300mph
I feel like you seen literally every weather event ever to date 😂
I forget the name of it, but look up CLOCKWISE TORNADO. the tornados everyone sees go counter clockwise.
it just HAD to be my accent, my Boston accent, who caught the cloud thing at #1!!! LMAO GOT DAMNIT WE'RE EVERYWHEAH!!!!
The rarest of all weather phenomenons happens in the UK 🇬🇧
Sunshine in June 🤭🤣
Firenadoes happen all the time in Forrest fires they're just not this prevelent😊
Yea that crown flash would’ve freaked me out.
Man Kabir you gotta react to the movie Twister starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. I live in Indiana, we have a lot of tornados too. We just had one a couple of weeks ago.
The last one has to be one of those things from Nope. That shit would flip me out.
Tornado Alley starts in Oklahoma goes up through Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa to the north of Oklahoma then to the east of Oklahoma, includes Missouri, Arkansas. It's the center of America with the Rockies just to the west of Oklahoma & Kansas. That's why it starts in Oklahoma, it has had more tornado's annually for decades. It's been expanding to more states to the east & south. Northern Texas does get tornado's but because of the warmth of the Gulf they're not nearly as much. I've seen many many times of rain on 1 side of the street & the other is dry.
Time to watch the movie Into The Storm, and see a crazy (albeit CGI) firenado (along with a lot of insane CGI regular tornadoes)!
Tornado Alley States 2023
It is well known for being a hotspot of tornado activity. Spanning Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Texas, Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota ...
Watch a movie called ''Twister" with Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, and Cary Elwes where two people strap themselves to pipes going down in the ground and look into the middle of the tornado going over them. I won't spoil it by telling you what they saw.
Have you ever watched the movie "Twister," starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt? Given your interest in tornadoes, I think you'd enjoy it.
I'm thinking refraction from the sun hitting water droplets or ice crystals.
Never have i heard the Pilger twins being called a "multi vortex tornado".... they are two separate tornadoes that spawned from different supercells..... they are twins. Not one multi vortex
Tornadoes and waterspouts are the same thing, basically. The difference is that the former is over land, and the latter is over water. Another thing needs to be explained as well. A slow-moving sort of monster tornado receives the name hurricane, typhoon or cyclone, depending on where it's located.
You can always recognize a storm chaser, in that they're the only one driving at breakneck speeds toward a tornado, rather than away from one. They have to have nerves of steel.
I'd feel so stupid if the car in Indonesia were mine, and I'd forgotten to roll my windows up.
If you watch the movie The Ten Commandments, released in 1956 and you'll see the original fire-nado.
It’s called a firenado. Like a tornado only with fire.
Please react to Take That Songs and Car Flips by a Tyre off the Truck In LA Freeway
Surprised there wasn't an honorable mention of the City in the sky where clouds literally looked like they were forming into a city.
cant belive the el reno tornado wasnt #1
Hey...If you're interested in the history of US states at all, there's a video by RealLifeLore about Why Wyoming is vastly emptier than Colorado. If you have the spare time for it, i'd love to see your reaction to it.
I've seen videos of fire nadoes. The man in Florida with the cloud thing is clearly from Boston. ( I live south of Boston)
I wouldn't think UFO, I would think some supernatural is going on, like watching something from heaven.
There’s also another tornado alley called Dixie alley the states and makes up our Mississippi Alabama and Part of Georgia
If you like watching tornados...you should react to the movie storm chasers
