    This one has Gary English on air. This guy is a legend in OKC and the people you heard behind him are talking to other reporters, listening to scanners, and passing vital information to English. My husband went to University of Oklahoma, his ex-mother-in-law lived in Moore during this time, we know she lived through it but nothing more is known.
    One thing to know, several of the chasers who were filming were not seeing the tornado moving. That usually means it will be getting larger because it's coming right at you. Rule of thumb in chasing is to be where you see the storm moving across the terrain, left to right or right to left. That's the safest place to be, or be behind it a good way.
    And they called out Yukon Oklahoma in that video. That town had an EF-2 storm go through last night, tore up a few homes but no fatalities.

    I was there when this hit Moore. Gary England said, "You have to be underground in order to survive this. If you're above ground, you will not survive." Back then, the time to get underground was 3-5 minutes. When that monster hit Moore, the sirens went off 30 seconds before it hit. I was with my family, and we were in a neighbors storm cellar. As soon as our neighbors closed the door, it hit. That is one day I will never forget. But, back in the late 90s, it wasn't mandatory for houses to have storm shelters. After May 99, it became mandatory for every homeowner to have one. And after the May 20th, it became mandatory for every house to have hurricane anchors attached to the foundation. Oh, yes.. And I'm still here.

    Hey they Recky, I just want to say that I love these severe weather reaction videos. I'm a meteorologist who has spent my entire life in weather communities and it's always great to see people who don't necessarily have knowledge or interest in severe weather learn about it, and I'm glad you're enjoying my field of interest.
    There are two channels I'd recommend for you to react to, both of which are solo creators, but whose content is top notch none the less. First there's Alferia, he makes detailed documentaries that go into the science and human impact behind these events. my personal recommendations are his videos on Super Typhoon Haiyan, The Texas Deep Freeze, and The Joplin EF-5. The second channel I'd recommend is Weatherbox, who makes great videos about the history of meteorology and the events that shaped it.
    Finally, there's a single video by EmpLemon that covers Moore Oklahoma, its history, its sociology, and the philosophy of living in such a dangerous place.
    All the best, keep it up.

    I lived in Moore during that time. I remember that day clearly. Off season football practice after school. I want to say 9th grade. Hot, super humid sunny day at 3pm. By 5pm after practice, it dropped what felt like 20-30degrees F and got dark really quick. The storm that was coming in, the best I could describe it, looked like the wall cloud from Independence Day Movie when a ship was entering atmo. Moving just as fast. No longer humid. Everything just felt off in the air. Glad I survived it. Will never forget seeing a drinking straw that got stuck into a telephone pole. Not just by a little bit, but more than half of the straw was stuck in it.

    Just found your channel. I live in Bridgecreek, Oklahoma and have heard tornados never hit the same spot twice...well thats B.S.!!!
    On may 3rd 1999, we had the strongest winds ever recorded, 316 miles an hour not 301. This one hit and wipped out most of our town, killing 11 folks. Then went on to Moore, Okla and did significant damage. On May 15th 2015 had another one take the exact same path as the May 3rd one. I saw things that were unbelievable like cows stuck in trees, cars rolled up into metal balls unrecognisable. A 2X4 sticking in a cinder block smooth no cracks or breaks. These storms no one should live if they are not underground but my step father road it out sitting on the toilet in his master bedroom in Moore. He had surgery on his hip in a cast and couldnt get in his safe room in the floor of his garage. He spent a week in the hospital almost being sclaped by a 50 ft iron steel beam coming from a few blocks away the elementary school that lost 6 students. He was dug out and only here by the grace of God protecting him. Us Okies always pull togeather and help one another. It is just a standard here and its not taught!! During the May 2015 tornado my grandson's entire football team came and helped us clean up the mess and debris scattered thur out our home and yard. This has caused me and many around this area high anxiety during the entire month of May. We just hunker down hold on and pray!!! Good coverage but nothing like living thur it in person, which Id never wish on anyone!!!

And while some people may poo-poo the idea of storm chasers... they truly are a vitally important, life-saving source of on the ground information that the local weather guys rely on to update the public. As you've seen in this video, not only do they provide these incredible videos of these terrifying storms, they are save lives & help provide data for weather scientists. We may never get to a point where we can accurately & consistently predict tornadoes, but continued study of these monsters has led to many advances in weather technology, infrastructure, as well as changing how buildings are made so they can better withstand such storms.

    It's alright to have this be such a long video...even ones that do their own video for this incredible tornado have it be very long !! As it should be as its the strongest and one of the largest tornado ever !! I just subbed as i love to see your intrigue in the other weather from different places in the world!! But yea...this is definitely one of the worst tornadoes the United States has had and definitely one of the most infamous tornadoes ever !! It's up there with Joplin,Jerrell,Xenia,Hackelburg and Peidmont/El Reno tornadoes !! Also...i see you did a video about Moore before this one...reason why you remember the name is because in 2013 Moore was hit by another F5 tornado!!

    Oh I am watching it with you Recky. I will probably watch it again tomorrow. Watching these videos with you is awesome. This is why the Storm Prediction Center, and the National Severe Storms Laboratory are in Norman Oklahoma just Southeast of Moore. They seem to dodge the bullet several times. Even if the buildings were built to code they would have been gone anyway.

    I was back home in WI when this hit. I used to live halfway across the state to the NE. I'm pretty sure I lived in a house with inadequate building practices. Thank goodness, I never found out.
    I remember that day. I don't like those monsters but I'm watching this to the end.
    There was a EF4 and another EF5 that hit the same general area over the intervening years.

    Still here. I've lived in Texas almost all my life and have never seen a storm like this until the Elkhorn-Omaha, Nebraska one earlier this month. I knew they had made the extended Fajita scale, but I didn't understand why, but having seen the MesoCyclonic nature, where the whole storm is in the rotation instead of just part of it, it makes a lot more sense, now. Scary stuff!

    I’ve lived in Oklahoma and north central Texas all my life and the weather is just a part of your life. The only direct impact was a small tornado that hit my parents house and uprooted 3 massive, well over 100 year old oak trees on 3 corners of the house. None of the trees landed on the house and other than severely damaged roof, a few busted out windows, a storage building that “disappeared”, carport destroyed and a car totaled, they were extremely lucky! 😊

    I have lived in the OKC area my whole life. On May 3rd, ‘99, I lived just north of the fairgrounds at 10th and May Avenue. My daughters are grown and married with families and live in the very nearby town of Piedmont. My oldest daughter lost her house in the May 24, 2011 Piedmont tornado. Two small children were killed 💔. P.S. After these storms, FEMA/Government paid $2500 on our $3000 underground storm shelter.

    • @MichaelLovely-mr6oh
      @MichaelLovely-mr6oh 3 месяца назад

      To be honest the May 24th, 2011 tornado that struck El Reno, Piedmont and Guthrie, Oklahoma isn't particularly well-known due to the fact that it's overshadowed by the absolute beast of a tornado on May 31st, 2013 and the fact that it occurred just two days after the devastating EF-5 tornado in Joplin, Missouri.

    I was in an F4 in 1996. The destruction was devastating. Luckily, my house suffered only partial damage. Complete homes were gone from their foundations all around me. In one neighborhood a couple of blocks from me, houses close to 1M in value, were poorly constructed. Allstate Insurance refused to pay homeowners for damage. The homeowners had to sue the builders. The houses that were partially intact remained boarded up for a couple of years while the lawsuits were litigated. It was a nightmare.

    Of course I'm still here Recky & God Bless Recky. The E/F4 & E/F5 rated tornadoes are terrifying!
    Crazy part is the EF scale is damaged based so we have all these unknown tornadoes just as strong that never gets the attention because they formed in the middle of nowhere and did minimum damage compared to the ones that Hit populated areas.
    Really good example of an insanely powerful & large tornado is the 2013 El Reno Tornado. Probably better examples out there but the 2013 El Reno was the one that came to mind first.

    I’m from Joplin Mo which is 3 1/2 hr drive from Moore Ok. Since this tornado, Joplin had EF 5 a mile wide go through the city from west to east May 22, 2011 . May 30, 2013 Moore got hit again which was massive destruction.

    • @MichaelLovely-mr6oh
      @MichaelLovely-mr6oh 3 месяца назад

      Actually it was May 20th that the tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma. Nonetheless the storm system that produced the Moore tornado on May 20th, 2013 produced several weaker tornadoes in northeast Oklahoma. Watching the coverage on The Weather Channel and seeing the storm system was headed straight for the Oklahoma- Missouri state line all I could do is hope that it wouldn't put down another tornado upon entering Missouri as it was on a collision course with Joplin and could have set back the reconstruction work in the city as it had only been two years since the tornado on May 22nd, 2011.

    I watched this with you. I live in Iowa. I lived in Iowa in 1999 and watched this happen. This tornado remains the most destructive tornado ever. The 2003 and 2013 tornados were close, but near as destructive.

  • @kendallgraysenthomson3311
    @kendallgraysenthomson3311 3 месяца назад

    Yes Recky, I'm still here & God Bless....Rather hard for me to watch, since in Oklahoma has been hit by so many more in the last 2 months. I was on the clean up, as well as search and rescue on the Moore tornadoes as well as a couple of the recent ones. These images you never get out of your head, but am grateful you are doing these. Watching the tornadoes and being that close is amazing, yet the aftermath is heartbreaking. Keep up the good work mate and hopefully raise awareness to how serious these actually are.

    I thought of something while listening to the people communicate, never occurred to me before. We are accustomed to the tornado threat (still scary as heck), but imagine the terror of visitors from other countries driving on the interstate and meeting a tornado for the first time, just crossing the interstate like the boss it is. God bless Recky.

    Hi Recky, of course I’m still here. And God bless Recky! 👍
    As always, love these tornado reactions! I don’t know how old this documentary is but I have seen a few tornado documentaries in which homes were built to standard and properly anchored that were swept away anyway…it makes me think that because the 1999 Moore tornado was so crazily strong, that it might not have helped. But who knows. You never really know what the outcome of a tornado strike will bring.
    Very much looking forward to any and every tornado reaction you might do in the future. As for recommendations, you’ve seen so many of the best documentaries, but of course there are still the “Storm Stories” with Jim Cantore that shed some light on big tornadoes that didn’t get featured on “Real Time Tornado.” :)
