This was one of the scariest tornadoes I remember watching on television. I survived the Moore, Oklahoma and Joplin, Missouri tornadoes, I will never forget them.
Must be how the storm chasers, people, media and the government reacted, very well coordinated in the midst of all chaos. Can’t explain it another way or it should be divine intervention.
I just can't imagine driving down the road with a tornado just roaming around. I think I'd stop at any sturdy looking structure for shelter, a bank or restaurant that's likely to have interior bathrooms or a freezer. I think the only way I'd try to keep running is if I was on a highway with nowhere to stop. I know you're *supposed* to get out of your car and get in a ditch but I don't think I could make myself do that. Yeah, if I were in a tornado movie, I'd be dead. x_x
On another episode I watched of this show, several people survived by hiding inside a beer cooler in a gas station. The rest of the station was just gone, but the people inside suffered only minor injuries. Basically if you can’t get underground, get to the innermost room with the smallest and sturdiest structure (lots of people have survived tornados in bathrooms and closets). Getting in a car or standing outside taking photos is the worst thing you can do.
I know there was a big tornado where it actually smooshed the freezer and cooler and killed the family in the gas station. Not that tornado for moore. Idk. Tornados are tough.
GlitchDog - I agree. Every tornado video I’ve seen, these guys just tootle along and you see the tornado just bopping on behind them or across the highway.
Hattiesburg Strong!! I was there when this happened, being from Hattiesburg and former EMT for the city Hattiesburg, I'll tell you this was a bad day. God bless Hattiesburg.
I went storm chasing with a friend in Illinois a few years ago, and when one of the tornadoes was on the ground a few miles away we asked one of the locals (a volunteer firefighter and fellow spotter) why the sirens weren’t going off when there was a confirmed tornado on the ground. He said that they only sounded them once they had visual confirmation of it...and sure enough, as soon as we saw the first power flash on the horizon, he radioed his colleague and the sirens immediately went off. I’m assuming that’s why Hattiesburg didn’t sound theirs right away, either. Pretty dumb way to run things, if you ask me - thankfully where I’m from we sound the sirens as soon as there’s a tornado warning, regardless of whether or not anything’s on the ground.
All these huge tornadoes I'm watching all happened in 2013 seem like. What a horrid year. science always answers questions and so I wonder what was so different about that year.
Back when i was living in indiana, there was a small tornado outbreak. There was 7 tornadoes that day. I was living in young america and was struck by two tornadoes. There was one in the day and one at night. The daytime one was EF-2 the night one was EF-4. there was 1 storm shelter in the town, whick only had 127 people living in, and that was at the church. So we had to run to the church cause the car wasnt working. I was carrying my nephew cause he was sleep. The EF-2 did little damage. But that night the EF-4 came through ay around 11:00pm everyone was sleep except me cause i was paranoid that there would be another tornado. Than the news anchor said an EF-4 tornado had just torn through deer creek, which was about 6 miles away. I woke everyone up my dad's girlfriend's dad was the fire chief at the volunteer fire station so he ran to the fire station to sound the tornado siren, which was nothing more than a speaker attached to the fire engine. Once again we ran to the church for shelter. This time the tornado did some damage. The back wall of the church was gone and so was the roof. Some houses were gone. My house had minor damage. The roof was missing shingles and the gutter had flew through the window. That was the scariest day of my life.
What blows my mind is how people are COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS to a giant tornado CLEAR AS DAY right there by them. People not moving, like how the hell do you not see it
I’m glad I’m a weather fanatic, I would not be so oblivious. I would be watching the sky, looking at radars, listening to radios. I do that now and I live in Virginia! Ugh people think things will never happen to them.
What I don't understand is why these places have above ground power lines? They are such a huge danger in disasters and are so prone to geting knocked down in bad weather. Our lines have been bellow ground for more than 40 years and we hardly ever lose power at my folks home.
Hello. Im watching this on Febuary 10th 2021. I cannot believe this is the 8 year anniversery of this horrible tornado. Im so glad Hattiesburg is back to normal now and every body rebuilt things and they look even better! So funny i didnt know it was the eigth anniversery of this tornado til i looked at the date. I hope everybody in Hattiesburg is OK now :)
I wanna see real time tornado Nashville, TN. that was a crazy nighttime tornado. Also we need to see real time tornado Cookeville, TN. These were 2 of the most crazy tornadoes of 2020 since they affected populated areas the most. Man these early march tornadoes were devastating.
😂😂😂Continue continue and dont know what the heck he doing driving right into the tornado. He lucky he didn't end up like the one storm chaser in that Reno Oklahoma tornado!
I’ve survived a tornado head on so I know the panic that takes over you. And I understand wanting to warn everyone you can but don’t put yourself in danger. Im thankful the couple are ok.
This was my home town, luckily none of my family was hurt or damage to their homes but not being able to contact them by phone for 2 weeks was really scary.
My house wasn't far from the tail end of this thing in Petal. Thankfully nothing more than patio furniture and a BBQ were damaged. I was at work in Hattiesburg at the Best Buy you can see in the video when it came behind our building. A few years later, another large tornado came through following almost the exact same path.
So I have a question regarding those businesses. Did people know there was a tornado right behind them? Did you have someone from the outside going store to store to warn you guys? And how do you bunker down in a building like that?
@@AlexTheOilersFan we knew it was heading towards us, but had to idea how close it was when it went behind us. We gathered the staff and the customers and moved towards the back of the building . We could see the parking lot light poles bend to one side as the tornado past, then snap back up as it passed.
Ain’t no way my husband would convince me to go on a dummy mission to potentially warn my in-laws. Me drive in that? Oh un un! We have kids!! Leave me at Home Depot. Somebody has to tell the story might as well be me 🤷🏽♀️...my parents are already gone to Heaven.
Reign Queen Thank you 😂. Then he said he more worried about them than his daughter and I’m like yikes like I understand that’s his parents but your daughter should be a concern to him too.
I was little when this happened and I was asleep but my mama jerked me up and ran with me I had no idea what was happening and I was so upset I did not know what do bc my mama was crying and my daddy was outside but the tornado picked up over are house...it was this tornado 🌪
People out driving around had no business doing so. They needed to get to shelter and off the road. The only people that should have been out were emergency services, and possibly chasers. People were not paying attention to the skies like they should have been.
Douglas Griffiths in the south , storms pop up suddenly unpredictable, most live with these all their lives . Jus like any weather we are raised with , want happen to us mentality. You are correct they should heed the weather , tor lot of us jobs do not shut down just because of inclement weather . So there's lots factors involved , as a southern raised man our weather teams are trained in each state to protect us at all cost , as I watch the video they did their jobs as the city of Hattiesburg did also . Yes we need so much more warning times , safe places but at this point in history we only have our amazing weather teams , police , fire hospital staff to take care of us in major tornados like Hattiesburg sudden freak turn of events ..
Agree. Had they taken left after store, they would not have been in way. You must read what direction of tornado then go opposite or perpendicular. Never race ahead of tornado on your heels. Just dumb.
The unfortunate thing is that living in places like the Midwest and the South where storms, even severe ones, are frequent you can't shut your life down each time a storm happens. Some of those people were heading to take shelter because some people live in apartments or in trailer parks without access to shelters. Some of them were inside buildings and had no idea what was going on until the sirens went off or they heard a report on the radio, if they were listening. You can't always see tornadoes, and while when you live here you do try to keep an eye on the sky, it's not even always possible. I do agree that once a tornado has hit, don't go driving around and clogging up the streets unless you are evacuating the wounded or leaving a dangerous area you can't walk out of.
GlitchDog Pretty ignorant when weather people knew days ahead this was coming. As for shelter...that is your sorry a$$ problem to plan ahead where you would take shelter.
i was in Hattiesburg i was just sitting in the basement not know ing what was going i was like AHHHH this was the worst experience ever im just so lucky to be alive then I heard a house just blow away i saw it in the small window and that was my freind's house.... i was just crying so bad but after it went somewhere else i saw her run to my house i was just thank ing god she was alive see went in the basement door and was crying so bad after it was done i was crying look ing at all the damge it was so bad but then a other tornado warning came i was like.... NOO PLEASE NO i was crying bad just hug ing my friend so tight after it was done i was so lucky too be alive.
Well honestly I prefer my personal space. They were up close and personal with that beast. Some might say too close. And I have seen it before. The EF5 tornado that hit Parkersburg, Iowa in 2008. Some security camera footage.
Okay why was the couple driving directly towards the tornado and filming at that? At this point I would be trying to get away because that thing is a mile wide, so again why are they driving right into the tornado???
@@ClefairyRox that was real footage recorded by the professional storm chasers that were in the video. They played it at that point because they were at the intersection where the tornado crossed over.
Imagine being those kids on that suv and begging your father to fucking stop and turn around and fucking almost dying because he wanted to pass the officer
Kristine Riley I live in Oklahoma, in the middle of Tornado alley, and it’s sad to say that we have extremely violent tornadoes and yet only 30% of us have shelters. The money they make us pay for it is absolutely ridiculous, some are the prices of cars and small houses depending on the size of the shelter, money seems to be all people care about, unfortunately.
Im not judging anyone or armchair quarterbacking what anyone should do in such an event. But at least after seeing these videos, and if i saw a tornado that massive, i would want to get anyone i knew in the path that still had time, to drive whatever the best direction is to just get out of its way, and thats what i would do as well. If i could, just get out of dodge. This of course is dependent on storm speed, lead time, road/traffic conditions etc, but if there were enough lead time and i could, i would run. Of course if everyone did that you may get gridlock and cause a worse situation. Most people are not weather addicts like me though, i will stay up all night watching hurricanes and extreme weather events around the world on the tv, so im typically hyper informed. My family used to call me for the weather, because i would monitor many forcasts and models etc. Kind of a weather dork/nerd/geek...comes with working construction(alot of roofing) and playing outside your entire life(skiing, mt biking, climbing, hiking, fishing, hunting etc). Anyhow...RUN FORREST. 😰😵😲If you can.
Joplin and Moore EF 5 tornadoes were on the ground for 37 minutes tornadoes are fast Joblin - 200mpr size.99miles long Moore EF 5 - 210mpr 1.30miles, once you can see it it's to late you can't out run a monster like this in the video
@@oklahomasouthern5859 im refering to seeing them on tv and radar, not in person. Your right, particularly massive tornados, and in highly populated areas are just nightmares.
Some people just shouldn’t be driving it really is not that hard to distance yourself they kept driving straight while it was behind them. Check which direction it is going gain a little distance and find a road that is left or right depending which direction the tornado is going. Know if the road has no dead ends or not and gun it and don’t stop you can’t outrun it but you can get out of the path if you know where it’s going.
5:27 okay 1) Why the hell would you keep driving TOWARDS it and 2) Does Paul have PTSD now? he looks stone cold... I really don't understand people and their actions. I mean I know Reed gives no craps about lifes or other people and would drive right into a tornado but these people are civies, so why would they drive right towards one?......
Despite it being stupid (cause they were in fact civvies) their footage can be used for science via the damage and debris and their accounts, researchers are always doing new test to see what kind of damage different levels of twisters can cause, so indeed stupid... But their stupidity could potentially help produce results. As for being bagging on Reed, he's a little stubborn, he yells a lot and that turns people away, but you can't deny that he's contributed some major findings to the scientific field, he could stand to do it a bit more casually perhaps like Hank, Skip, or Greg... But it's not like he adds nothing to the conversation. Edit: Someone below actually mentioned that it was actually the professionals filming that bit, they just so happen to be at the intersection where the tornado was crossing.
@@clintbreland8760 Well I hope for the best for you... You should be promoted to Chief!!! The World needs more caring, loving law enforcement out there like you!! Thank You for helping people and being there... Greetings from Loving Japan! :D
Dirt Fisher right while going to save his parents. I’m sorry but we all don’t need to die today. Leave me at Home Depot and pony on. We have kids at home
the thing i dont like about this video is we dont want to see the faces of people talking and the text screen narrative just show the GODAMM tornado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're running FROM a tornado. The tornado is coming towards you on the rear RIGHT hand side, and what did you idiots do at an intersection....? You turn right, DIRECTLY in the path of the tornado, instead of turning left. 🙄🤦🏾♂️
Hmmm...trees blocking view of tornado but hey, let's just keep driving! No wonder women live longer. I think amateur storm chasers who are not in it for the science should all have to be responders to tornado disaster sites and pick through the rubble to find pieces of the victims. Might make it more real to them but I have my doubts about that.
That Scott dude was in the Joplin tornado and the Hattiesburg one. He’s an OG chaser now
SkankHunt 42 yeah ik
Mm
These videos give me anxiety but I can’t stop watching
*The worst thing to have when you are in a place that have MANY tornados*
Same vibes
Me
Bruh sameee
Yup it gives me the walking farts too.
A bunch of metal scraps in a dryer. - What a perfectly understandable way to explain the sound.🌪👂
So true
For those in Hattiesburg use the sirens to warn people next time okay
Maybe the sirens got knocked out
I sure was thinking that these people was unaware of that tornado due to them not turning the sirens on
@@trevormcgaha1920 siren head be like: “yeah no, I’m not staying here”
The fact that no sirens were used during this time is incredibly sickening and irresponsible.
True the storm chasers kept saying turn them on and they wouldn’t? Your asking for lives to be lost
They got very lucky that there was no death with no sirens going off
thank you police officers and tornado chasers bless you all
Mhm amen to them
That police officer is a hero. He saved so many lives by stopping the traffic on the highway.
This was one of the scariest tornadoes I remember watching on television. I survived the Moore, Oklahoma and Joplin, Missouri tornadoes, I will never forget them.
Survived meaning you were in the towns when they happened?
how could you be in joplin missouri and then go to moore and be that unlucky
I was in the 5th grade at the Oak Grove Skating rink about a half a mile from it ...
NO ONE died in Hattiesburg. No one. Beyond amazing. It was an F4 up to 3/4 miles wides through a major metro area.
THAT is a miracle
Must be how the storm chasers, people, media and the government reacted, very well coordinated in the midst of all chaos. Can’t explain it another way or it should be divine intervention.
I was about a half a mile from it at the skating rink
I just can't imagine driving down the road with a tornado just roaming around. I think I'd stop at any sturdy looking structure for shelter, a bank or restaurant that's likely to have interior bathrooms or a freezer. I think the only way I'd try to keep running is if I was on a highway with nowhere to stop. I know you're *supposed* to get out of your car and get in a ditch but I don't think I could make myself do that. Yeah, if I were in a tornado movie, I'd be dead. x_x
Bank vault is the safest place to be. Too bad they couldn't build school shelters as sturdy.

All these huge tornadoes I'm watching all happened in 2013 seem like. What a horrid year. science always answers questions and so I wonder what was so different about that year.
The way the jet stream and the high pressure and low pressure systems moved.
Yeah, then go back just 2 years and have a look at *that* year. Worst 2 years in recent memory
2013 was 2005 for tornadoes
2011 was actually worse than 2013, but all tornadoes are terrifying no matter when they happen or how many happen.
Keely Leilani 11,12,13 was three years in row with an insane amount of outbreaks it’s been extremely quite since
Back when i was living in indiana, there was a small tornado outbreak. There was 7 tornadoes that day. I was living in young america and was struck by two tornadoes.

When was this about? What area? It seems in Indiana they are either upper north or down south. Seems like central part of Indiana doesn’t have many.

My family used to call me for the weather, because i would monitor many forcasts and models etc. Kind of a weather dork/nerd/geek...comes with working construction(alot of roofing) and playing outside your entire life(skiing, mt biking, climbing, hiking, fishing, hunting etc). Anyhow...RUN FORREST. 😰😵😲If you can.
Joplin and Moore EF 5 tornadoes were on the ground for 37 minutes tornadoes are fast Joblin - 200mpr size.99miles long Moore EF 5 - 210mpr 1.30miles, once you can see it it's to late you can't out run a monster like this in the video
@@oklahomasouthern5859 im refering to seeing them on tv and radar, not in person. Your right, particularly massive tornados, and in highly populated areas are just nightmares.
Why were the sirens never turned on? Where they broken? Did the tornado damage the system somehow?
Some people just shouldn’t be driving it really is not that hard to distance yourself they kept driving straight while it was behind them. Check which direction it is going gain a little distance and find a road that is left or right depending which direction the tornado is going. Know if the road has no dead ends or not and gun it and don’t stop you can’t outrun it but you can get out of the path if you know where it’s going.
Me when there's a tornado 👁👄👁
People need to take tornado s seriously
Why are these crazy people out driving on the roads when are they taking shelter I'm not referring to the storm chasers
People think they are invincible...
I think it’s that some people just think it would be better to just drive away from the storm🤷♂️
Why does jenifer Sanchez have a lot of similarities to billie eilish
😢
5:27 okay 1) Why the hell would you keep driving TOWARDS it and 2) Does Paul have PTSD now? he looks stone cold... I really don't understand people and their actions. I mean I know Reed gives no craps about lifes or other people and would drive right into a tornado but these people are civies, so why would they drive right towards one?......
Reed is a jackass.
Despite it being stupid (cause they were in fact civvies) their footage can be used for science via the damage and debris and their accounts, researchers are always doing new test to see what kind of damage different levels of twisters can cause, so indeed stupid... But their stupidity could potentially help produce results.
As for being bagging on Reed, he's a little stubborn, he yells a lot and that turns people away, but you can't deny that he's contributed some major findings to the scientific field, he could stand to do it a bit more casually perhaps like Hank, Skip, or Greg... But it's not like he adds nothing to the conversation.
Edit: Someone below actually mentioned that it was actually the professionals filming that bit, they just so happen to be at the intersection where the tornado was crossing.
This sucker was fast and people didn’t expect that.
Nobody in this video was even near the tornado besides the police officer. Get the people who actually lived through this monster to be interviewed.
They may be more focused on mourning their losses and rebuilding their lives and communities vs entertaining people.
I was way too close

Neil Lenhart what happened
Why did the Weather Channel feel the need to dub in sound effects? Really unnecessary and disrespectful to the reality of the event.
Paul and Jennifer are suffering from shock syndrome !!
Listen there is no such thing as shock syndrome when you are driving right into the tornado.....I'm sorry....Its called get the heck out syndrome!!!!!
Dirt Fisher right while going to save his parents. I’m sorry but we all don’t need to die today. Leave me at Home Depot and pony on. We have kids at home

Impeachment charges cuomo
the thing i dont like about this video is we dont want to see the faces of people talking and the text screen narrative just show the GODAMM tornado!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're running FROM a tornado. The tornado is coming towards you on the rear RIGHT hand side, and what did you idiots do at an intersection....? You turn right, DIRECTLY in the path of the tornado, instead of turning left. 🙄🤦🏾♂️
Why are people so surprised every time there is damage after a tornado? I mean, it's a tornado...
Experiencing is different from knowing. Seeing is different from knowing.
Hmmm...trees blocking view of tornado but hey, let's just keep driving! No wonder women live longer. I think amateur storm chasers who are not in it for the science should all have to be responders to tornado disaster sites and pick through the rubble to find pieces of the victims. Might make it more real to them but I have my doubts about that.
THEY DIE MORE.. BAD DRIVERS TO BEGIN WITH!!
I love when people die 😂😂😂
