If the tornado looks like it’s standing still, it’s coming directly at you.
That’s an old Tornadian Alley Proverb.
Aldo the Apache Right you are
I heard if you stare at a tornado, you can go blind!
Aldo the Apache fax
Wow didn't know that
👏👏👏👏 exactly, a tornado never stays still!
Amazing to go from a meteorologist explaining the science to the sherif on the phone saying, " get everybody inside cause this is one big sumbitch."
Just got to the sherif showing up oh boy im excited.
If on
How's that amazing?

I live in Dixie Alley, and tomorrow is the 58th anniversary of the Candlestick Park tornado, an F5 that deciminated Candlestick Park, Jackson Mississippi, March 3, 1966. My daddy was at Candlestick that day and survived, which I'm thankful for, because I was born almost 5 months later. Daddy went Home in 2012, and he never forgot to his dying day. I was raised with a healthy respect for those monsters.
I live in medford, oregon my daughter was born in Wapappelo, MO and a tornado came down their driveway and I cried for 2 days I was so scared, I wish I were the Oregon billionaire cause I would use my money to help rebuild
We have a lot of technical information, heck, we can make the sky's rain, when our crops need it, I know for a fact we can accomplish any thing, just need to work smarter, common scientists! Teachers, teach those, "Stem" students well ! All of us ! We are destroying this planet 🌏! God bless all and help us I will pray for this!❤😢
I was next to a tornado when I was six and I still have nightmares about twisters. I am 63 now and it still happens from time to time.
I was a firefighter when the Jarrell tornado happened, I worked triage and it was horrible. I still have nightmares. I pray I never see anything like that again.
Tatea PTSS you have to ask? Imagine bodies torn to shreds and you have to plug arms, heads etc out of trees, shrubs and God knows what else floating around under broken and demolished things. I wouldn’t sleep ever again. Probably end up alcoholic just to try to forget that nightmare.
@Tatea the triage unit are the first to receive victims after the search and rescue. The Jarrell tornado literally ripped people’s hair from their heads, so I can only imagine how horrific the poor victims must have looked.
Thank you for your service
❤❤I'm sorry
I hope you never do as well. I can't imagine. :'(
My mother lived through a couple tornados. She always told me that in these documentaries they never get the sound right. She said its a sound you never forget.
Like a freight train driving all around you?
@@Antelopesinsideme she said no, to the train sound. She said its different. She couldn't describe it.
@@illenialLisette oh ok thanks for asking her. I've heard from others that it's a similar sound to a freight train
I got so scared because thw winds at my house were so bad it made mr think i was in a tornado. I was in a tornado when i was a kid. The sound is definitely something u never forget.
Its a sound that you never forget or really be able to mimic.
Here I am from Dallas, TX watching this documentary after 12 tornadoes ripped through north Texas a couple days ago. I’ve been living in Dallas for 17 years and have been awakened by so many tornado sirens, albeit I have never seen a tornado. A part of me has always wanted to see one in person from a distance, but I have come to realize my naive stupidity.
It's a horrifying yet beautiful sight
I spent 34 years in the NTX metro and it's a regular occurence, but the past 8-10 years there've been WAY more actual notable tornados. Just nuts.
I still want to see one. I would give my life for tornado. I would die for tornado
😂 lol yea
@@GRasputin91 hopefully your wish comes true soon 💀
Dallas Texas fun fact: Down town Dallas actually has an entire system of underground tunnels built during the cold war where many folks can access from the street. They are still in use today with shops and eateries and can actually keep thousands of people safe in an even such as this one described in the video.
Great information ! Thank you for sharing! If a tornado touches down there, then its great to know the people , have a safe place underground to go to!
Oh we have that here in Houston too. It’s almost as if every major city does 🤔

I thought I was only one that noticed that. 😆
He was talking about an F0 when it ripped off, but only F5s can take homes off their foundations (like in the video). Also it’s now EF for Enhanced Fujita scale.
The mighty power of nature is awe-inspiring. My heart goes out to those whose lives have been affected by these tragic events.
Born and raised in Plano, TX, lived in Dallas for about 5 years before moving to Sherman...been thru warnings and close calls, saw my first tornado in October 2019...saw it cross 635/75 in my rearview mirror while racing to get home after work...i love watching these beautiful storms but i would prefer to keep watching them from a distance or in the rearview mirror
Why do Tornadoes impact mostly countryside areas?
@@virtualaiagent2109They don’t, really. There are just more rural areas in tornado alley than urban areas.
Sadly, the Jarrell Tx tornado was so powerful, that most of the bodies recovered were so unrecognizable, because the wind and sand removed skin and hair.
So sad.
there were also many body parts picked up all over the site, like fingers, toes, arms feet, etc it was a terrable unbelivable situation
Why did you comment this and why did I picture this in my head
Those poor people must've thought it was the end of the world! Such a tragedy! 😢
Something straight out of a warzone all caused by a thunderstorm
Dental records still would have been able to be used. Hopefully they have been able to use DNA identification to identify any remaining unidentified remains in the decades since.

Here in Northern Indiana I live 10 minutes from Koontz Lake, where Palm Sunday largely happened. I also was on a camping trip when I was 10 where a tornado hit my camp ground in French Lick Indiana. Every year I remind myself it's that time of year
Hell yeah
Yoooouuuuu got it, buddy! North Alabama here! It's time to sweep out the shelter! That time has actually passed as we've been under a SEVERE tornado warning just a few weeks ago, and one was radar indicated going directly at then over our home, but THANKFULLY never touched down.
Respect of. The power and the unknown.
It's la Nina this year, I'd definitely take it more seriously this year.
If i was to build a home in the plains states i would build like a hobbit. All you would see of my house is a mailbox
Cool you could put a window in and watch the worms crawl around
That's my ideal home too-- an earth-sheltered solar passive house. That design would also be good during blizzards and fire. However many places in the west have soil that isn't compatible for digging down. In some places the soil is too sandy so it collapses if you try to dig into it, or the water table is so high that you'd have water enter. Where I live the clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry so basements don't fare well and hillsides slump when we have excessively wet years. Also we have low levels of naturally occurring radiation (radon) that will stay in a basement or underground structure unless it is purposefully ventilated. An earth-sheltered house would be feasible but expensive and would have to be designed well depending on the circumstances. This is also no doubt why there are so many people without basements (cellars) or below-ground storm shelters.
Little do you know we are all hobbits. We all have outer shell homes but our real homes are our basements
We do that in the kimberleys in Australia.
Just because it's so hot! may as well build down
My house was made by fire.

If you get hit by 300mph winds with ZERO debris, you're still gonna fly!!
@@GoldBlueDude Still, you have a better chance of surviving that with no debris. There are many stories of people getting blown away by tornadoes or sucked up and surviving. Some even described how they felt like they were hovering above the ground and rather than being thrown back down, being gently set back down with no injuries other than a few bumps, bruises, and scratches.
I'm presuming the El Reno tornado is on here, if not. That tornado was probably the scariest moment of my life. Over 2 miles wide...what a time to be alive
Yep, 2.6 miles wide at one point. Also killed four storm chasers.

As a guy who never went through tornadoes in his life (although, I was real close to experiencing the 2011 super outbreak and an EF3 in June 1st, 2011). It is a very horrifying experience
Yes we experienced the April 3, 1974 and the April 27th, 2011 super outbreaks. We reside within the tornado alley referred to as Dixie Alley. We are under tornado warning numerous times per year. Just recently had warnings prior to 12/25/2022. Have possibilities again tonight through tomorrow night.
I live in a small town in SC and we had one touch down about a mile or two from my mom's. I t wasn't completely on the ground but it still did damage. You could see the path it took.

They’ve also been hit with an ef3 in 2003 along with several smaller ones in between.

The Smithville tornado is probably the strongest to ever hit the earth, it gouged into the ground 2 feet deep, ripping up pavement, scouring everything it touched. My heart goes out to anyone who has to endure a tornados fury. 🙏
One photo from the aftermath of the Smithville, Mississippi tornado on April 27, 2011 is that of a red Ford Escape crumpled up like an aluminum soda can on the ground after being flung through the air into the Smithville water tower and leaving a large dent in the tower.
That is the Philadelphia tornado, Smithfield had 1 foot of scouring. Woldegk threw debris so high it had 2 inches of ice on.
I absolutely agree! My heart and condolences to everyone who had to endure that tornado, as well !
Actually, I just saw something about tornados and there was one in Bangladesh that they think was the most powerful tornado ever.
WHAT IS CAUSING SOUNDS AROUND THE EARTH?
Friction between the spheres results in world sounds and weather changes. The reason is that the troposphere and stratosphere are joining together The stratosphere is 60 thousand feet above the Earth's surface along the equator, and 40 thousand feet above the poles. The changing of these heights causes friction, thereby creating sounds during this height equalization process. Also causing or resulting in the Earth's global warming and cooling. The sounds will leave when these spheres equalize. The end result is catastrophic weather globally including extremely high seas. Discovered in 2022 by William E. Nelson
The Smithville tornado could be one of the most powerful ever recorded, carving a 2-foot-deep path into the earth and mercilessly tearing up everything in its way. My thoughts are with those who have faced the destructive force of such storms
Truth be told under the old scale it would've been a f3
@@tyronemaroney335 Can you prove a tornado rated F3 that produced damage near to or what the Smithville tornado produced?
I lived in Murphysboro, Illinois for a time when I was a kid. My next door neighbor was in her nineties and I remember her telling us she survived a tornado as a little girl that tore apart the whole town. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I found out that was the historical Tri-State tornado she survived, and that I lived in the historical town. I even went to the same elementary school where five kids died.
Did you know that record of the Tri-State tornado has finally been blown (no pun intended)? Recently there was a quad-state tornado!
@@aewtx what's the name of the quad State tornado that's happened?
@@seattlejdmcivic The Four Corners tornado. It travelled over AZ, NM, CO, and UT in just over 3 seconds with a 1/16-mile multi-vortex damage track.
j/k.
@@seattlejdmcivic It’s literally called the Quad State Tornado. It started in Arkansas, went through the boothill of SE Missouri, into Kentucky & then Tennessee I think. The worst damage was done in Mayfield, Kentucky.
I think that was the one with the most recorded fatalities. To be fair there were no warnings and no preparations at that time.
I wonder what people thought when they first ever discovered a tornado
Dorothy seemed fine :D hahaha
Probably end of the world 😅
Probably the thing most people think when they discover something devastating that they don't understand. 'the gods are mad, let's sacrifice Bob to them, or Bob's kids, so they'll lay off the rest of us.' Still happens to day. (coughJesuscough) and people just accept it as moral and okay, because they don't wanna think realistically that we're living on a rock spinning through space and don't have control over it and neither does anything else.
“Ooga? Ooga Ooga Ooga! Oo-“ *fucking dies*
KirsaKaboom - Due to early civilizations being polytheistic, I believe that they thought that tornadoes were the work of the Gods. Some people still believe that tornadoes are caused by God. It’s not too farfetched to believe that earlier and less developed people in America and India thought that tornadoes were a wind God of some sorts. There is no Native American evidence of this, though, since natives didn’t utilize a writing system.
So weird to hear a documentary of American tornadoes while using km know full well, Americans use mph lol
Always loved Mega-Disasters. Good science and good speculation about future events, though a bit over the top with its worst possible outcome scenarios.
There may be some exaggerating with the "Super Tornado" but, I do believe a tornado moving from the F5 to, a not yet witnessed, F6 is in our future. As temps keep rising and breaking records, the energy will be there for something more powerful than an F5. Weather where you would definitely need to be underground, to have a good chance of survival.
I think everyone should have shelters, the couple were so lucky, RIP Sugar. No tornado 🌪️ sirons, RIP to the animals and the people and children. Sorry for your loss.
Most people don’t understand the prices or the logistics of the areas these tornados come thru.most of these places didn’t even have basements for multiple reasons.high ground water loose soil sand and rocks make it almost impossible to have a underground shelter anyway.
I live in Tulsa. The sirens are tested at noon every Wednesday during the off season. But I grew up in Osage county, just southwest of here. As a child we spent a lot of time at my grandparents’ house where they had a cellar. Of course back then (I’m 68 now) by the time you heard the sirens, it was almost too late. But We spent a lot of time in the cellar. Especially at night. My grandpa would round everyone up & get ‘em in the cellar & he would stand outside & watch. If he finally came down, you knew it was bad! They even had a bed in there for the kids.
RIP to all the animals, people and children!
11 min in..how many more times will i see the same roof fly off?

11 more times xD

I've never been so glad to live in the Appalachian Mountains and to be called a "hillbilly". We've had some terrifying storms, and straight wind, damaging trees and a very few homes. I live with high mountains all around me, sometimes I hate being boxed in except for these videos, I sleep better at night because I don't have to worry about a tornado getting me while I sleep.
Tornadoes have happened in the Appalachian mountains before
Amen
Read about the Rye cove. Tornado
May 31, 1985 the deadliest outbreak of tornados in the 1980s occurred. Tornados struck Canada on down to West Virginia. A wide tornado traveled from Ohio to Western PA. Left a 2 mile wide path of destruction in Venango County, PA. Just looked like a bomb went off and flattened everything EVERYTHING! What I remember most is losing a friend and her infant child. Finding a report card from Newton Falls, Ohio in western PA. Both were heart wrenching. You’re probably thinking-so you found a report card. That means the tornado hit that families home -the report card traveled at least 85 miles (approx 1-1/2 hr by vehicle) from Ohio to PA via a tornado😢 We Don’t usually get tornados in western PA. The elders of the local communities said that about every 50 years a tornado hits the area. We have had several smaller tornados since then, through the same area that was hit hardest in 1985.
I remember that Pampa Tornado vaguely. I was 3 years old, but I my Aunt, Uncle, and Grandma lived there during it! I recall going up there with my family from Amarillo during the following days and seeing the destruction.
1:20 “generally the faster the wind speeds, the deadlier the tornado”
Well my mind is absolutely blown
😂
Every new house built in tornado alley should be mandated to have a tornado shelter
Yes but people in the eastern US you miight wanna think bout doin that too tornado alley has been mocing east slightly more ans more
That is not possible for many reasons, plus it would just allow for the companies making shelters to build crappier shelters for more money.
In lots of places here in Oklahoma, you can't even put in a storm cellar because of the water table 😪😪
I can tell you don’t live in tornado alley just by this comment.
Clearly, you have never lived in tornado alley.
They mention apocalyptic darkness at the beginning. When I was in high school back in 1970 one day it got as black as midnight outside. It was a storm that spawned several tornadoes. It's hard to even imagine how dark it was in the middle of the day.
Cant even imagine how horrible that was !
I remember seeing my grandparent's neighborhood badly damaged with some houses demolished in Indiana. My grandma has PTSD from tornadoes as she's been in three and almost lost her life in two. Amazingly, they still insist on living in Indiana. To me, tornadoes are the scariest natural disaster because you have very little warning and can do very little to avoid being killed. I've been in a somewhat large earthquake in California and hurricane in Florida but those were not nearly as concerning to me as being close to a tornado. Even when there is a bad storm brewing, it feels ominous because you wonder if there will be a tornado that will take your home or your life that day. I do plan on moving away out of tornado alley again but unfortunately most my family lives here...
You realize watches are issued hours out and warnings are issued the moment funnel activity is spotted in the area so you got about 20 30 minutes to make your actions to hunker down to keep your life
Imagine the first people to see a tornado
They were probably like, *yo wtf is that*
Or maybe,
*lmao what’s that it may be a living thing lol let’s catch it*
im pretty sure they would have tried to eat it lol
Maybe they were like *Da hell is that thing?*
"Boooga ooga? OOOOOGA!" *gets consumed by the tornado*
Camcorder. Now that’s a word you don’t hear anymore.
Wanna buy one 😂
I remember living in a small farmland in Australia. Clouds starting forming and winds kicked up. I remember looking out over around 20 paddocks away a whirly wind spinning like a top in the distance, I remember yelling to my mother and she called to my brothers and sister to head to the bathroom which was the sturdiest built part of the house. The scariest part was this ominous silence and then winds hit. We huddled together until it passed and then ventured out to check for damages. We were lucky that it passed us by.
Tornados seem to be getting more frequent more eastward and in the south east. These areas aren’t used to tornados and most areas don’t have any type of tornado warning systems or under ground shelters. We had one hit close several years ago and it started forming in the mountain area passed my house and we had high winds and a really deep surging rumbling sound and right after that one touched in the lake then demolished some neighborhoods on the other side. I don’t if what I hear was the tornado forming or what but it scared the hell out me.
Yeah seems like the southeast is the new tornado alley
I live in VA and normally my town gets missed by storms but last summer we had a REALLY bad one. My neighborhood has a lot of 100+ year old trees and one fell on our neighbor's porch and destroyed it. Scared me shitless
I live in north GA and I will agree with yall it is getting worse here I used to say it's the best place to live as far as storms go but recently we'll since around the 2000s it gas been getting worse I remember in 2011 or it may hv been 2013 we had around 11 that one night in March one big one hit the city of Ringgold about 10 miles from me to my knowledge that is the worst and biggest in this area but yeah its getting worse..
They call it Dixie Alley. Stay safe!

If it's not moving, it's coming towards you. Run forest run
Thank you for that advice
Could it be moving directly away from you 😀👍
@@MattCrabb10 "No. If the tornado is moving away from you, it will gradually appear smaller. When it moves towards you, it is so big with a lot of motion, so you can’t tell right away that’s coming at you.
You can get some idea if you look at a big thunderhead in the sky. It’s easy to see clouds going past you, for example, if you are looking east and the clouds are moving north. But if a huge cloud is coming straight at you, it will look like it’s standing still."-Marty Masters

Well, I've watched tornados get smaller, yet they weren't moving away. One was actually moving towards my location. It disappeared except for corn flying around me, only to reappear about an 1/8 mile from me.

I went through the 2013 Moore Oklahoma tornado and holy hell it's terrifying! I moved there to teach school with my two kids. I have never been so scared in all my life. Needless to say, we moved back home to NY a week after the storm. My youngest has since been diagnosed with PTSD bc of the tornado. I wouldn't live in a tornado prone area ever again!
I lived in OK for only eight months but hated living in it. Experienced a tornado in IL when i was 10. Im now in the mountains but its absoluteky horrible to hear strong winds that remind me of what ive been through

Tornadoes are so fascinating and beautiful to me. But I can never begin to imagine the horror of being in one. I live in south Arkansas. Tornadoes hit near my town as often as you'd expect but they dont really touch down often in my town. Most people say its because the city is in a valley and too low for one to really form here, although it has happened. But there's just something about tornadoes that are beautiful to me, even when I was a kid. Maybe even more so back then with less concern for mortality. Anyway, I send good vibes to anyone that's been impacted by tornadoes.
8:00 The mental image of some guy furiously shaking his camera out on some farm in Iowa is killing me.

Of course I'm always thinking of people first, but can you imagine what those cows went through? They are in a large group as a loud roar can be heard...the sunlight slowly dims....and Bam! They're smashed into each other and thrown all over the place....also getting pelted by debris like rocks all the way up to full sized vehicles. Must have been terrifying for those animals.... assuming they know fear and can recognize a tornado
conspiracies are just great stories from what i've read, most animals know something is happening. Like i heard that before my. St. Helens. Erupted, there were tons of animals running away. My guess is also the animals could also pick up on a tornado too

I’ve lived through May 3 1999 tornado and the May 20 2013 tornado in OkC. What’s even more sad is the PEOPLE. I’ve lost friends and family and pets. People are worried about freaking cattle. Makes me sick.
When the lady from Moore said that her and her son were barefoot, it hit home. When under severe threat Ive always made my family get completely dressed, hiking boots, work type clothing. We each have emergency backpacks that include many things like gloves and parachute glasses. If one were caught in the middle of the tornado, then these things likely doesnt change anything. However, if severe damage is inflicted on our home or surrounding, we arent left with insufficient clothing. Just something that has always been a part of our emergency plan

you're not able to, i live in dfw and you go a couple feet down and its bedrock, the cost to do it in a lot of areas would just be too high. above ground shelters have proved to be a very solid solution, and from the way i see it, a much better one. you have an above ground shelter installed in your house, you are just a couple steps away, and don't have to run outdoors and deal with the rain, winds, and sometimes very dangerous hail, also above ground shelters are a fantastic solution for physically handicapped people where it is difficult to climb down into a shelter.
Justin Walters certainly true but there is the problem of space to have the shelter and cost of it as storm cellars are expected in a house in other places in tornado alley but Dallas would be well behind in above ground shelters even if they are better. They just aren’t used.
A concrete drain pipe in-laid in some land is probably your best bet.
I just spoke to my son about tornadoes we live in so calif but he now attends SMU in Dallas. We always worry about earthquakes.
I live in ft worth and a f3 hit downtown..It blew glass all over the city.. Luckily it wasn't a wide tornado or it wouldve be been horrific
I live in a small town in Illinois. The only thing scarier than those sirens is wrestling a cat into a pillowcase while the wind howls.
I once sandblasted the back of my hand with an industrial sandblaster for a few seconds. I still have the scar. It literally eroded skin and nerve tissue so fast I never felt it. I live in the UK and just and fascinated and horrified in equal measure by tornadoes.
I’m terrified of tornadoes & when they broadcasted the Moore tornado I was sick to my stomach and crying my eyes out for those people. It was heart wrenching tbh bc if I felt this way watching I could only imagine what the people going through it were feeling ... God bless them and anyone who had to go through something like that.
Yea yea ok
Yes. That was horrific watching the video of that tornado. I can’t even imagine
Wow, I'm sorry for your loss of your dog, Sugar. Glad you two made it. >> 7:10
Thank you for putting time stamp I didn’t want to hear about it. Didn’t want to go through that today and I am glad you gave me the time stamp
From what I've seen with F4, F5 tornadoes, a basement isn't always enough. You need a basement under your basement, or at least a very strong room in your basement. A direct hit from an F5 WILL take the roof off a basement and suck out everything inside. If you don't have a good basement, then drive south, or if that's not possible, north. Tornadoes come from the Southwest. If you have time, then drive south fast. Most tornadoes aren't very wide, and, if far away, can be avoided by driving south or north.
rest in peace Sugar, i feel like she could have been saved :(
I continue to ask myself why people don't just pick up their dogs if they're small enough
@@Built2spill505 right? i’d do anything in my power to save my fur children.
“Dogs are smart. They know what’s going on”
“And… it killed their dog, sugar” 😭💀
I just found that ironic. But dogs really do be smart. And hearing how their dog died makes me so sad.
That threw me off too. I had to run it back
Same
Gotta wonder if that was on purpose lol
RIP SUGAR :(
Yeah I feel bad for sugar
@Tiger Cub She was scared, and they probably couldn't catch her. But yeah, it was stupid to leave her out there.

The Jarrel Tornado is a great example of how parameters aren't EVERYTHING forecast-wise
I was in IL and we had a tornado miss us by a hair a few nights ago. Same night of the Quad state tornado that took the lives of nearly 100 people. Powerful winds terrify me.
U got lucky lol
People don’t realize how scary it is to actually experience one. Even if it’s not that close. Once I was in Florida, and a tornado touched down near Sanibel, it was 11pm and since I live in b.c I’m not used to tornadoes, so I was freaking out.
I ran trash while at work and was close enough to feel all 3 wind directions that thing was less than 1/2 a mile away in a field
Honestly tho good on Belinda's dad for saying no when she asked if they could stand out and watch the tornado. It's got to be hard giving up an opportunity to see something that incredible with your own eyes but ya gotta be smart I guess
It’s surprising to me that no one ever mentions the 2004 Hallam, Nebraska tornado. Considering it was the largest tornado before the El Reno, Oklahoma one at 2.5 miles wide and still holds the record for largest condensation funnel as an EF4 that tore through the entire town and had people worried that Lincoln and Omaha were next in the line of fire being Nebraska’s largest cities less than an hour away from there.
“2nd place is the 1st loser” - Ricky Bobby.
I am a midwesterner, now living in Florida, and I vividly remember the April 3, 1974 tornado outbreak. My family and I were living in the Price Hill area of Cincinnati, when around 5:00 p.m. a tornado was spotted in another community southwest of us called Saylor Park, which came across the Ohio river, and obliterated that community. The sirens hadn't sounded at that point, but I saw my brother standing in the doorway, eating a PB,&J sandwich just staring into the sky, and I came up to him, and asked what he was looking at, and he pointed to the sky, and said that. I looked out, and that vortex was still spinning violently with debris flying all over the place. That ironically was a fascinating sight to see, especially in the inner city. Luckily based on it's northeastern movement, it was far enough away from our house, that after we got into the basement, it roped out within 2 minutes, and my dad gave the okay to come back up.
I was a 16 yo Alabama girl that night staying in our basement with my family all night long as they just kept coming. The radio calling out all night for blood donors😢
Considering how old the earth is, I guarantee tornados larger than an F5 have hit prior to us civilizing the Midwest.
Absolutely. And think of all the tornadoes, even today, that occur and are never recorded just because nobody witnessed them.
like the red spot in Jupiter
@@farhatk6054 the red spot isn’t a tornado, it’s a fucking hurricane. Different things kid
"civilizing" 🙄
@@shadetreader What's wrong with the way he used "civilizing?"
This is so Sad whole families wiped out the warning sign wasnt loud enough for everyone to hear but also animals
Yes most of the time you cannot hear warning sirens inside especially in the middle of a storm. you should use a NOAA weather radio and apps on your phone and have WEA alerts enabled
This narrator started off savage! Taking about the tornado not missing that city lol. Enjoyed the video thank you
Having been born and raised in Joplin I have been through many. I lost an investment property there with the 2011 tornado, my mom lived in it and somehow survived in the closet with her dog 'Stormy'. I moved mom down here to NWAR, rebuilt it and sold it a few years later. That one was a bad one and took me back in time to the other big one in the 70's we had when I was a kid.
The dogs name was stormy?
@@boxsterman77 LOL, yes. I never cared for that dog yet his ashes and picture sit on a table under a portrait of my mom alongside her ashes for some odd reason. Odd that I see this today, it would have been her 95th birthday today.
" a small hurricane "
*shows huge hurricane*
-_-
@@titanusghidrah6867 unnecessary
Tornado is a small concentrated hurricane
Nope, shows a tornado 🙃
ME" oh that's the pet little tornado he don't bite."
Kansas " yes he do bite!"
I remember the day of the Jarrell tornado clearly, and I wasn't even near it.
I was on a Southwest Airlines flight from Harlingen, TX to Houston Hobby and about midway through the flight, I could see these massive high thunderheads off in the distance to the north west. I've seen my share of big thunderheads before, but these had to be some of the biggest and highest (altitude) I've ever seen in my life. I just knew that whatever was underneath those massive clouds, something terrible was happening.
Sure enough, after I landed at Hobby Airport in Houston, the reports of the Jarrell, TX tornado and the utter devastation it caused was hitting the airwaves. To those 27 who lost their lives that day, Rest in Peace.
Wow to see things from up in the sky and learn later it was in jarrell omg 😳
It sounds horrible! My condolences to everyone RIP!
i learned more about tornadoes from this video, than i ever did in my science class.
Excellent footage of these strange, eerie, deadly and creepier than hell events.
About the Tri State Tornado, the program forgot its biggest key factor... and that it was a heavily rain wrapped tornado. It would have been interesting to see why some supercells that spawn tornadoes are low precipitation, & others are high precipitation.
It was also huge and many people mistook it for fog
Gargoyle Man , Sometimes during outbreak of Tornadoes. Alot of humidity. Your face & forehead become real greasy. Can't wipe it off. STRANGE, soda cans explode
This was also the case with the Joplin, Missouri tornado on May 22, 2011; the tornado was hidden by heavy rain and difficult to see.
I was in the jarrel tx tornado. My house was the first in the subdivision hit. My brother was the youngest one killed, he was only 5. My step grandmother died as well. And I can verify that it was like being in a a sandblaster. And it sounded like being in the middle of a stadium whith people whistling. If anyone has any questions about it, I will answer what ever you need.
sorry for your loss
I’m sorry for your loss..
I have a question. What were your thoughts immediately after the tornado dissipated and you emerged from your home?
where diud you go to take cover? honestly id be interested in your whole story if u are comfotable
Downtown Nashville was directly hit by a mile wide tornado in 1998 and it destroyed much of the historical aspect of the city. The Tennessee Tower skyscraper took a direct hit and it shook and swayed unbelievably. Windows shattered like they were hit by a Mack Truck.
March 3, 2020 has entered the chat
Honestly this season (2024) has been more active than it has in years!!!
I searched the list of the tornadoes featured and the result showed that this is the Ultimate Tornado documentary which came out in 2006
I'd love to be a storm chaser, dreamed about it since I was a kid.
God Bless And Rest Easy To Those Who Passed!!:(
That is terrifying. I have only seen a few in my lifetime and they were way off in the distance, except for one that hit 3/4 mile from us at night while we were sleeping. Had it hit our home at that time we would have been very injured or worse. . . and it was VERY loud. Now we have a weather radio next to the bed that will alert us when we are asleep.
How did you not hear the sirens?
I think a weather radio is a brilliant idea!
I watched this the day after Dallas got hit with ef3.
Eric Witcher same way
Eric Witcher Same, we got hit with the one in Midlothian
I was there, well not there there but it was close.
@@angelsartandgaming so you were there?
I live two blocks south of the tornado and am thankful it didn’t hit downtown
"What do we do?"
"We pray"
Amazing parenting!
Well shit. Theres literally nothing else you can do at that point Haha
@@volo1826 True, especially if that's someone's faith, it's the best thing they know to do because of their faith. I say, good on them, and shame on those who think otherwise.
@@volo1826 haha,dig a shelter,haha
Why pray to a god who’s let you be put in the position in the first place? Oh wait I know what God’s doing, he’s testing your faith. What a gracious God and a gracious way of testing your faith and belief.
@@Bravo-Too-Much If I was God, I wouldn't allow much of the suffering that takes place around the world. But what do I know?
25:07 Nice footage there. I don't want anyone to die in a tornado, but I am shocked there aren't more fatalities with these storms.
I lived in Oklahoma for a little over a year. It was scary in the spring, with several warnings, and once I saw a funnel cloud that never touched down. Ironically, my first time experiencing a tornado happened years after I moved away from Oklahoma to Ohio. Memorial Day 2019. 13 tornadoes in one night. The one that hit us was an F3. It just brushed us, tearing up the roof and breaking a few windows, knocking limbs off the huge oak trees in the backyard. We were lucky. Less than a quarter mile away, homes were flattened. The sound of it as it approached is something I will never forget.
Why do i like watching tornadoes? XD 🌪⛈⚡
XD
Same 2 me XD
SAme HeRe!
@@itzbirdy9107 YASS
who knew kirari would like tornados
Being from Oklahoma, we've had some of the worst tornadoes ever.
Really...you don't say
I was in Salado TX (a few miles from Jarrell) 3 days after the Jarrell tornado. I went to Jarrell out of curiosity and what I saw was horrifying. Pictures do not do justice to “wiped clean off the map” truly means.
*laughs cause people don't realize that tornados can hit pretty much anywhere and people don't even realize it*
Yeah y’all had the biggest tornado ever recorded in the U.S. at fucking 2.6 miles wide
@@graceschreckengost3076 You don't realize that the US is the tornado capital of the world with 1,200 or more per year on average. They happen almost every day here in Spring and Summer. Don't be ignorant.
One of the reasons that I live at 9000 foot elevation here in Colorado. No twisters up at this altitude.
I've been in two tornados, one in 2009 in Murfreesboro, TN & then again in my hometown in southeast TN Easter 2020.. it wasn't until after that tornado that I realized the most the debris left afterwards is basically just that, debris. Nothing is recognizable. Just house insulation & pieces of steel/metal/wood.. it's absolutely insane.
