The son of my father's friend died in the Bridge Creek-Moore tornado that was ranked #2. It took two days to find him in the rubble of his apartment building, and the tornado had moved him several hundred yards from the location of his apartment. He had tried to take cover in his bathtub, but there was nothing that could have protected him from a storm that strong. He was 24 years old.
I am sorry for your loss, me and my family were traveling through Moore at the time and the day before we stopped at a hotel overnight because we were all exhausted from traveling. We had initially been planning to stay until the 4th, take some down time and maybe go into OKC because none of us had seen the city. My parents decided at 5am May 3rd to just get on the road, it was a last second decision that likely saved our asses. We didn’t hear about it until we stopped at a Diner in Amarillo Texas at 6:30pm.
The 1925 tornado, they didn't hear the warnings. They didn't even have warnings back then. The first ever tornado warning was given in the 1950's. It took years for tornado sirens to become the standard. Even still, many rural communities don't have sirens.
The worst thing is the Plainfield tornado where they also didn't have warnings to the point where there's no footage of it even though it's from the '90s
I live very close to Plainfield, they take severe weather very serious there now as one could imagine. Sirens will sound off multiple times now this time of year. No massive tornadoes fortunately since 1990 but one must wonder when they will be due again
And now many communities are getting rid of them in favor of smartphone alerts. Which is unfortunate for those who don't have regular cell service in rural areas or their phone with them at all times.
@@sonofbelz Plus, phone batteries can go dead, and not everyone has a smartphone. Instead of getting rid of sirens, they should be looking into as many types of warnings as they can. Television, radio, ham radio, smartphones, sirens, etc. It could save so many lives.
@@sonofbelz Yeah I was under a tornado warning last week and my phone didn't even alert me but the siren did and I was napping so yeah. Sirens shouldn't be dealt away with entirely.
the reason he said go to the bathtub is because structurally speaking if there is no basement or storm shelter the bathroom is designed differently than the rest of the house and it is more sturdy. of course you would still need pillows and or a mattress to protect yourself from flying objects.
My uncles dad died in the tristate tornado in Murphysboro, Illinois. He found his dad dead on the railroad tracks after the school let them leave. The house I grew up in was the same house that was twisted on it's foundation. That school was the same one we all went to, my uncle, dad, mom, aunt & the rest. Jim
the movie twister from 1996 is probably one of the best disaster movies of all time. its all about tornadoes. definitely a must watch for anyone interested in that topic. A tornado is formed when hot humid air is moving one direction and cold dry air is moving the opposite direction and they collide. it pushes the hot air up and the cold air down, creating a spiral. You instantly feel the pressure change outside when a tornado becomes likely to form. And if it's during the day the sky will often turn green. We have more tornadoes in America annually than we have days in the year. I've been in 2
It's definitely one of my favorites and its a most realistic disaster movie which makes it that much better but my favorite has to be The Day After Tomorrow
The US has the highest frequency of violent tornados, but it didn't have the deadliest tornado in history. I don't know if you have family living anywhere near Bangladesh, but "The deadliest tornado in world history was the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989, which killed approximately 1,300 people.". That is a truly horrific death toll for a tornado that, by American standards, was only an f3. I know that tornadoes happen in much of India as well, so I pray that your families can find some way to avoid the danger if one ever lands. It's not just a danger in America, so just make sure that you know what to do when it happens. Be safe ❤❤
You should watch the guys who drive towards tornadoes…they literally chase tornadoes. Catching the storm and then seeing the devastation afterwards. Most help in the search and rescue after the storms. These guys are heroes and save lives!!!
I grew up in Princeton, Indiana. Even a century later, the town still remembers that tornado. The southern half of town was erased. South of a certain point, there are almost no buildings older than the 1920s.
yes that was the most massive ever, some of those tornadoes wiped home foundations clean, the tri state wiped away whole towns. including mining facilities and railroads.
Hey Loud Guys 😊 I live in the state of Ohio where the 1974 tornado hit the city of Xenia. Even though that event happened about 50yrs ago, people still talk about it to this day.
to establish a record, I live in Moore Oklahoma. We have a series of Tornado warnings this evening, there is a possibility of a rain wrapped tornado as the evening progresses. we are currently sitting at 10:54 AM the tornado risk 6PM til 12 midnight or later.
Well, since watching tornado videos is part of my self therapy, thanks for having a new one :) I live in Andover Ks and have been through 2. One April 26, 1991 (F5)and one April 29, 2022. (EF3). There's a lot of video about both of those on youtube so I don't really have to talk about either of them*, other than to say that no matter how many videos about tornados you see, NOTHING will prepare you for the NOISE. *It borrowed my car and left it parked in a window. On the second story of the building. A mile away. I do want to say though, if you watch any movies about tornadoes, it is very important to note that some of the things hollywood has put in them (like hiding under a bridge) for shelter are incorrect and very, very dangerous. Every year, people are killed because they got caught up in the direct path of a tornado while they're out in their car, and believe that pulling over and hiding under a bridge or overpass will keep them safe. It won't. In fact, it is the worst possible place to be during a tornado, because tornadic winds get even stronger and faster when they go over a bridge. It's called the "wind tunnel effect" No human being is stronger than the that kind of wind. It doesn't matter how tight you hold on, you will be sucked out or blown out from under the bridge and die a very nasty death. If you are out driving and find yourself in the middle of a storm with a tornado coming your way, do this instead: Do not try and outrun the tornado in the same direction it is going. Turn a corner and continue to move away but from the side. Tornados are unpredictable and may change direction at any given time, so keep an eye on it. If it is going to catch you, and only if it is SMALL, pull your car to the side of the road and lay flat on the ground. In a ditch, if possible. Lower is better. But not......not next to the car, actually you're going to want to be a bit away from it. Do NOT stay in your car, do NOT enter a drainpipe. (same wind tunnel effect) Cover the back of your head and neck to protect them as much as you can, and spread your legs out so that you are as flat as possible. It is harder for a tornado to pick up low, flat objects. You may be injured, but injury is much more preferable than getting burned/crushed/smashed/flung/impaled/ripped apart by wind and debris. Do not get up until the storm has passed. You'll probably have to walk home, as the tornado will likely borrow your car and leave it parked somewhere that you normally wouldn't expect to find a car parked. *Like through a second story window a mile or so down the road. If it is a LARGE tornado and still getting bigger and closer while chasing you, find the lowest bit of land you can. If it's going to hit you, you have a 50/50 chance of surviving it anyway, so it does not matter if you stay in the car or not. Try to not. I was always told to try and get underneath the car if possible. Anywhere but under a bridge. The first tornado I went through has a video on youtube showing it chasing some weathermen and others who hide under a bridge The only reason they were not hurt is because this bridge was very old and built quite differently than the way they are built now. Still, don't risk it. Stay safe.
A day ago their was reported 50+ tornadoes in one day from Texas to Oklahoma to Midwest. I hear it sounds like a freight train. I've been 20 miles from one that overturned main Street in a smaller town. Crazy
The Loud Guys, it's not that there haven't been tornados in the last decade, or 10 years. The US has had tornados, and a lot of them in the last 10 years. We in The US get tornados every year in the Spring and Autumn when those seasons change especially in Tornado Alley the point is there HAVE NOT been any EF5 monster Tornados in the last 10 years. I don't know for sure if we've had any EF4 (Enhanced Fujita (4) scale) Tornados in the last 10 years.
Of course there was. Nashville? Surely Mayfield should have been memorable enough? Or maybe one of the ones that happened in Iowa? All happening within the last 4 years and during the winter btw…
I know it's not on here but there was an EF5 a few years back around 2013 that was the largest on record. The El Reno Behemoth. This monstrosity was so massive it was 2.5 miles wide, for reference, that's the size of New York City's Central Park from end to end. It hit nothing but open field, but the people of El Reno, Oklahoma got very lucky that day.
As a person that lives in the southern region, I can say it's hard to find someone that hasn't lost someone or someone whose family member has died in a tornado.. Then again, I'm 40 now, so I always feel unfortunately at some point you will. My friends mother had a house fall on top of her when I was in my early 20s and passed and he barely survived.,, alot of states don't have basements in a majority of the houses or storm shelters unless you personally have them built
Tornadoes can be more destructive than hurricanes. This only family I knew, they built their home using methods meant to reinforce against hurricanes, and it did NOTHING to safeguard it when a tornado struck.
Well this year has just produced tornadoes in this region that surpassed those. Two huge tornadoes went North of us and two went South of us. Looking out my living room window, I noted the black clouds circling to the west --coming out if the east (normally the winds come from the west). Luckily we were spared.
I wanted to make some comments here, as a Joplin survivor and current resident. First; thank you for your compassion. I swear our EF5 tornados are inspiration to our Air Forces. You are absolutely right that it looks like a combat zone post-bombing. Or, perhaps, divine retribution to the most hawkish- yet devout- section of our country for the humanitarian misdeeds we are responsible for elsewhere. Secondly- the tri-state tornado was before tornado warnings and their systems were invented. Most tornado warning systems double as military air-raid warnings; or rather, were re-purposed air-raid/nuclear missile warning systems from their installation during the Cold War in the 1950s. Thus, even though that tornado lasted for 6+ hours across 3 states, none of its victims had warning.
We have a saying, "its not the tornado that kills you, its the debis the tornado is blowing around." anything hitting you at 200-300 Mph is going to hurt.
I live a little under an hour away from Joplin Missouri, and it's something I'll remember clearly for the rest of my life. I worked at a call center at the time and we had stores and colleagues in Joplin, so we were paying close attention. We're also east of Joplin, so we were next in the path of the storm that produced it, we didn't know what to expect when it got to us. I spent a lot of my following days off work volunteering in Joplin. Another part of what made it so deadly was that it was right in the middle of the afternoon. The high school graduation had just finished, students and families were outdoors and on the road. Businesses were open, people grocery shopping and getting gas and out and about living their day, that got caught in it.
Surprising that the El Reno tornado wasn't on the list. Might be that it was down graded to a EF-3 only because the amount of damage wasn't on the level of a EF-5 because it didn't really hit a large populated area. If it had, it likely would of been one of the most destructive tornadoes. It was a 2.6 mile wide, multi-vortex, rain wrapped monster that was the first tornado to claim the lives of storm chasers.
Bridge-Creek, Oklahoma at the time wasn't even incorporated as a town and had 48 people max (in 2000 it was 36 but 12 people died from the tornado) as it was an extremely small trailer-park kind of community so that was a massive loss for them. The tornado was at its peak F-5 intensity when it struck Bridge-Creek
When I was six years old back in 1983, we had a tornado that hit Springfield. We got hit and boy howdy, was that scary!! Afterwards, and even to this day, when there are sirens and tornado warnings, I tend to get panic attacks and anxiety. I'm sure I probably had PTSD, but I wasn't diagnosed with it until years later and that was for something else. You know, the actor Bruce Campbell was in a movie that had to do with tornados. I can't remember the name of the movie, or his character, but I do remember one of the lines he said and I'll paraphrase it. ~"A tornado can pick up a carton of eggs and carry them for miles, then gently lay them down and none of them will be broken."~
I lived in the City of Springfield Missouri, which is less than an hour away from Joplin Missouri. I remember looking towards the West install that dark black cloud moving Southwest from Joplin, and watching the news after the tornado tour half of that town apart.
7:20 When warm air from the Gulf of Mexico meets the cold air from the mountains it creates powerful thunderstorms and if these storms rotate a funnel will come down creating a tornado
Watch the raw footage "Haysville to South Wichita 1991 tornado" & "Wichita - Andover Kansas tornado 1991" & "McConnel Air force base 1991 tornado" There is also synchronized muti-angle footage in 4 parts. Watch all these to see almost the entire life of this really pissed off tornado!
I live in a part of "Tornado Alley" and have lived here for my whole life "27 years," and I've had to take cover for tornadoes more times than i can count, but i still have yet to actually see a tornado or experience one (thankfully). The closest I've been to one was when a very small one passed over my house a few years back and touched down in a small farm land less than a half mile away from my house then went back up just before it got to the houses on the other side of the farm. It was one of those things that felt scarier after i found out what it was i actually heard, as i wasn't even taking cover at the moment it was over my house. I was going down the stairs to get to a safe place when i heard the wind pick up to at least 80mph for about 5-10 seconds. It was in the back of my mind during the moment i heard the wind, but it wasn't until the next day when i drove past the farmland and saw trees snapped and fences torn up that i realized what it was. Luckily, it was an insignificant one that didn't turn into anything. Other than that, there was one other time when i was a kid where a tornado ripped through a part of town about 25 minutes from where i live, and i went down there afterward and saw the damage. There's still trees, to this day, in that area that are permanently bent towards where the tornado was. But I've still yet to actually see a tornado or experience one. Just one close call with an insignificant one and damage from one in a different town. I definitely would like to eventually see one out in a field somewhere. It's certainly on my bucket list, as weird as that might seem to some people.
You guys are among some of the best reactors on RUclips. And your personalities and variety of content. Are probably the two main reasons why ? Keep up the good work. How is your old partner doing ?
Bangladesh has poor infrastructure and no tornado warning system, so even weaker tornadoes cause huge losses of life there. Despite them only getting about 6 tornadoes per year, it can be very dangerous. I pray for them.
Hey Loud Guys! Tornado footage you should check out is Washington, Illinois from 2013, and Fairdale, Illinois. Particularly, the footage from Clem Schultz.
Woke up at 4am to a tornado warning just a week ago, we're still flooding from that storm. Folks in the rest of the world don't realize how lucky they are to not deal with this shit.
its simple science its the cold air from the west pacific/ rocky mountains colliding with warm air from the gulf leads to severe weather/ tornados, what makes it unpredictable is the jet stream over north america that constantly changes. but tornado alley is the meeting center nonetheless due to positioning of the gulf/ mountains
Hi guys! I live in Tornado Alley, near Fort Worth, Texas. I've been lucky enough to have seen 4 large tornadoes. They are beautiful, but scary at the same time. The last one to hit Fort Worth was over 20 years ago.
Another video about EF5s that you should totally react to is 'One Year Six EF5s' by Celtic Henderson. Or I recommend these videos. "April 27th 2011 Tornadoes: The Super Outbreak" by Disaster Documentaries and "April 27, 2011 Tornado Outbreak Montage" by RollTide1987. Both videos are so good at showing just how crazy April 27, 2011 was. I recommend the second one more, but it would be so awesome to see you react to both.
If you see a tornado but it appears that it is not moving you need to run because this means the tornado is moving in your direction and they say to get into the bathtub because the bathtub can help protect you from flying debris like wood and glass which if it hit you it could be fatal you should also try to get into the basement away from windows because wood and metal debris can come in through the windows my grandfather actually built a small room in the center of his basement made of layers of plywood and about 6 inches of reinforced concrete for when tornado happens he kept it stocked with bottle water and non perishable food just in case
It’s been ten years since an F5, they aren’t very common tornadoes, tornadoes happen in the us pretty much every year, it’s just the f5 stage that’s rarer
I lived near Lambert International airport in St. Louis, MO, and in 2011 an EF4 hit the airport, and my home was not far off the path. My two older children still remember hiding in our bathtub. It sounded like a freight train was all around us and it didn't even hit us directly, and this was an EF4 not even a 5. I remember hearing many Tragic stories from Joplin on the other side of the state of children being ripped from their parents arms and not being found again will days later... Truely horrifying.
There are hundreds of tornados every year. Each one is given a clasification from EF1 - EF5. There have been thousands of tornados the last ten years, but all of them have been EF4 or lower. People still can be hurt or killed by these, so we still treat them as if they are the most devastating tornados, because we just don't know until it's over what classification it was. Also, there were 4 EF5 tornados in one day, but a lot more lower classified tornados on that day, too. A lot of destruction on that day.
The Wichita tornado of 91 is called the Andover F5. The structures at the time were not well built and it was actually less the then 5 minutes when the police rolled through with sirens to warn people. I know these facts because not only was I there that day, but I also live in the very same trailer park to this day!!!I can go out to the front yard, dig 6inches deep and pull up broken glass from the trailers that sat here first lol.
A good thing to point out for foreign viewers which is hard for them to understand is Well built doesn't mean masonry either. Homes in tornado prone areas are lashed together, in ways so they don't come apart as easily. And being well built doesn't save you from tornados either. The average European stone and masondry home wouldn't survive the average ef1 tornado and better then a stick house will. Well build Concrete buildings have been taken down by tornados. Tornados will eat any roof from breakfasts, and positive and negative pressure will destroy nearly any glass in a home if it wants.
The creepiest scenarios with a tornado are nighttime tornadoes. Unless you have radar up, you can't see them unless there's lightning around it, or hits power transformers.
9:30..... Nick (Swegle, the original poster) completely butchered the town of Wilkes-Barre..... The "Wilkes" part is universally said as "WILL-kiss", but the "Barre" is commonly pronounced as "Bare/bear", and "berry".
Also, sorry for the multiple responses on 1 comment...... Sometimes, it's not about the overall destruction from a storm, but how slow the storm is. Like Hurricane Agnes in 1972 caused more destruction here in central Pennsylvania, and other areas. It may have been only a category 2 hurricane, at worst, but it was slow moving.
While the United States is also a Tornado hotbed, it should be important to note that other regions of the world are the same. Bangladesh and south-central China also get tornadoes, but not at the same intensity or frequency. The most recent EF5 tornado to hit either India or Bangladesh was in 1989, the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado. Generally, the Ganges Basin is tornado prone. On another note, US tornado outbreaks are uncommon, and most of the tornadoes in those outbreaks are only EF1 or EF2. the 1974 and 2011 tornado outbreaks each had upwards of three EF5 tornadoes in various regions.
There is a common phrase, calling EF5 tornadoes the "Finger of God", and for good reason. It is as if a deity reached down from heaven, and dragged his finger across the earth, leaving nothing but destruction in it's wake.
Jarell is still the most scary that was a dead man walking tornado If ever there was a new category called an f6 Jarrell would definitely a fall under it
we get tornados all the time here in US... we just had a bunch in 4 different states over the weekend 4-25-2024 to 4-28-2024. None EF5 but 3's and 4's.
I grew up in Midwest, Minnesota. We got tornadoes every spring and fall. Not as much as the southern states and usually not as big. (EF1-EF3) People who live with this get use to it. Thats why youll see people still out and driving about. (Not to smart) But, we also are fascinated by God's nature and thrive to watch them. Storm chasers. My family definitely are into storms. They dont scare us as much as others. They have people whom will take you out to chase them and view from a safe distance. Kinda cool. Now i live in Northern California Redwoods and earth quakes are the norm here. 😳 Just found your channel and subscribed 😊. Be watching. You two seem like really nice people. Have u been to America?
There actually was a misstep blooper on the part of the original content creator and it concerns the movie Twister that was released in 1996 but he said 1966.
The people u see driving are tornado chasers they do it to try to help people with more warning so what they are doing is studying the tornado up close
Despite being the bottom of the list, the 2011 super outbreak was the most recent super outbreak and hopefully, we won't get one for another decade. Super outbreaks occur every forty to fifty years and historically speaking, there have only been three: the 1932 tornado super outbreak, the 1974 tornado super outbreak, and the 2011 tornado super outbreak. I highly recommend watching reacting to weatherbox's analysis of the 1974 super outbreak simply because of what that event did not just to the midwest and deep south but how it redefined tornado science as a whole thanks to the scientific mind of one man, Dr. Ted Fujita.
It is important for everyone around the world to remember the USA is probably the Most capable to deal with tornados. When Japan deals with earthquake and tsunamis they are experts at those disasters. So this is the Best response humanity can have. We will have More violent storms around the world and people should work to prepare.
You need to check out Reed Timer and his tornado chase videos And some of the other Tornado Chasers as well. Oklahoma is in what is called Tornado Alley which starts in Texas and goes through Oklahoma and Kansas .
Welcome to tornado alley where I live in Nebraska we have tornados in tornado alley every spring and summer go watch the Nebraska Iowa tornados in March 2024 there was 58 tornados that day one of them was an ef 4or 5
I was in the Xenia Ohio tornado. In the house I was in, the tornado took the house, and all that was left was myself and my sister, and a television. It even took the linoleum off the floor and left us.
Yo guys there was a mini tornado in australind/Bunbury erea and it hit the residential erea and hit one big building the pypc building and it happened on Friday or Saturday and no one died that we know
😅😂 FYI the Tuscaloosa tornado didn't have a penis; it had what is referred to as a horizontal curl or a 'mini satellite' which is indicative in leymans terms of a very powerful tornado (this tornado had peak windspeeds at 100 ft AGL of 270 - 280 mph) @TheLoudGuys
There are hundreds of tornados every year. Right now as I write this, we are having tornado watches and warnings.
I live in Omaha so I feel you on that.
The US averages over a 1,000 tornados every year.

Winds can slam you if strong enough! Imagine being in 200+ mph winds alone.

The US has the highest frequency of violent tornados, but it didn't have the deadliest tornado in history. I don't know if you have family living anywhere near Bangladesh, but "The deadliest tornado in world history was the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989, which killed approximately 1,300 people.". That is a truly horrific death toll for a tornado that, by American standards, was only an f3. I know that tornadoes happen in much of India as well, so I pray that your families can find some way to avoid the danger if one ever lands. It's not just a danger in America, so just make sure that you know what to do when it happens. Be safe ❤❤

Absolutely
Well, since watching tornado videos is part of my self therapy, thanks for having a new one :) I live in Andover Ks and have been through 2. One April 26, 1991 (F5)and one April 29, 2022. (EF3). There's a lot of video about both of those on youtube so I don't really have to talk about either of them*, other than to say that no matter how many videos about tornados you see, NOTHING will prepare you for the NOISE.
*It borrowed my car and left it parked in a window. On the second story of the building. A mile away.
I do want to say though, if you watch any movies about tornadoes, it is very important to note that some of the things hollywood has put in them (like hiding under a bridge) for shelter are incorrect and very, very dangerous.
Every year, people are killed because they got caught up in the direct path of a tornado while they're out in their car, and believe that pulling over and hiding under a bridge or overpass will keep them safe. It won't. In fact, it is the worst possible place to be during a tornado, because tornadic winds get even stronger and faster when they go over a bridge. It's called the "wind tunnel effect" No human being is stronger than the that kind of wind. It doesn't matter how tight you hold on, you will be sucked out or blown out from under the bridge and die a very nasty death.
If you are out driving and find yourself in the middle of a storm with a tornado coming your way, do this instead: Do not try and outrun the tornado in the same direction it is going. Turn a corner and continue to move away but from the side. Tornados are unpredictable and may change direction at any given time, so keep an eye on it. If it is going to catch you, and only if it is SMALL, pull your car to the side of the road and lay flat on the ground. In a ditch, if possible. Lower is better. But not......not next to the car, actually you're going to want to be a bit away from it. Do NOT stay in your car, do NOT enter a drainpipe. (same wind tunnel effect) Cover the back of your head and neck to protect them as much as you can, and spread your legs out so that you are as flat as possible. It is harder for a tornado to pick up low, flat objects. You may be injured, but injury is much more preferable than getting burned/crushed/smashed/flung/impaled/ripped apart by wind and debris. Do not get up until the storm has passed. You'll probably have to walk home, as the tornado will likely borrow your car and leave it parked somewhere that you normally wouldn't expect to find a car parked.
*Like through a second story window a mile or so down the road.
If it is a LARGE tornado and still getting bigger and closer while chasing you, find the lowest bit of land you can. If it's going to hit you, you have a 50/50 chance of surviving it anyway, so it does not matter if you stay in the car or not. Try to not. I was always told to try and get underneath the car if possible. Anywhere but under a bridge. The first tornado I went through has a video on youtube showing it chasing some weathermen and others who hide under a bridge The only reason they were not hurt is because this bridge was very old and built quite differently than the way they are built now. Still, don't risk it. Stay safe.
A day ago their was reported 50+ tornadoes in one day from Texas to Oklahoma to Midwest. I hear it sounds like a freight train. I've been 20 miles from one that overturned main Street in a smaller town. Crazy
The Loud Guys, it's not that there haven't been tornados in the last decade, or 10 years. The US has had tornados, and a lot of them in the last 10 years. We in The US get tornados every year in the Spring and Autumn when those seasons change especially in Tornado Alley the point is there HAVE NOT been any EF5 monster Tornados in the last 10 years. I don't know for sure if we've had any EF4 (Enhanced Fujita (4) scale) Tornados in the last 10 years.
We just had one and there was one last year I believe
Of course there was. Nashville? Surely Mayfield should have been memorable enough? Or maybe one of the ones that happened in Iowa? All happening within the last 4 years and during the winter btw…
Just had one in OK about 2 weeks ago.
@@nannerz1994 Were those two tornados EF4s or EF5s?
@@libertybell8852 Was that tornado an EF4 or EF5?
I know it's not on here but there was an EF5 a few years back around 2013 that was the largest on record. The El Reno Behemoth. This monstrosity was so massive it was 2.5 miles wide, for reference, that's the size of New York City's Central Park from end to end. It hit nothing but open field, but the people of El Reno, Oklahoma got very lucky that day.
Coworker survived 5/3/99 OKC tornado. I have been within 5 miles of a tornado multiple times.
I grew up in a state called Oklahoma! It's in an area called Tornado Alley! They happen often enough that it feels like just another day
1:55-had me howling with laughter!! 😆
As a person that lives in the southern region, I can say it's hard to find someone that hasn't lost someone or someone whose family member has died in a tornado.. Then again, I'm 40 now, so I always feel unfortunately at some point you will. My friends mother had a house fall on top of her when I was in my early 20s and passed and he barely survived.,, alot of states don't have basements in a majority of the houses or storm shelters unless you personally have them built
And depending on the soil you have, they may not be able to install a storm shelter
Tornadoes can be more destructive than hurricanes. This only family I knew, they built their home using methods meant to reinforce against hurricanes, and it did NOTHING to safeguard it when a tornado struck.
The ef-5 tornado that hit hackleburg and Phil Campbell is the same tornado that hit another small town mount hope in Alabama
Well this year has just produced tornadoes in this region that surpassed those. Two huge tornadoes went North of us and two went South of us. Looking out my living room window, I noted the black clouds circling to the west --coming out if the east (normally the winds come from the west). Luckily we were spared.
1:43 "There was a house??" Gives me the same vibe as "Thats a woman???" And it made me chuckle a little-
I remember the one in KS in '91, trees were uprooted from the ground, even someone's bathtub was stuck in a tree!
You can always check out Pecos Hank who chases them.
I wanted to make some comments here, as a Joplin survivor and current resident. First; thank you for your compassion. I swear our EF5 tornados are inspiration to our Air Forces. You are absolutely right that it looks like a combat zone post-bombing. Or, perhaps, divine retribution to the most hawkish- yet devout- section of our country for the humanitarian misdeeds we are responsible for elsewhere.
Secondly- the tri-state tornado was before tornado warnings and their systems were invented. Most tornado warning systems double as military air-raid warnings; or rather, were re-purposed air-raid/nuclear missile warning systems from their installation during the Cold War in the 1950s. Thus, even though that tornado lasted for 6+ hours across 3 states, none of its victims had warning.
We have a saying, "its not the tornado that kills you, its the debis the tornado is blowing around." anything hitting you at 200-300 Mph is going to hurt.
Omg! Just had a tornado last month! Neighbors had a hard time, but we were able to watch it pass us by. It's all about where you live..
I live a little under an hour away from Joplin Missouri, and it's something I'll remember clearly for the rest of my life. I worked at a call center at the time and we had stores and colleagues in Joplin, so we were paying close attention. We're also east of Joplin, so we were next in the path of the storm that produced it, we didn't know what to expect when it got to us. I spent a lot of my following days off work volunteering in Joplin. Another part of what made it so deadly was that it was right in the middle of the afternoon. The high school graduation had just finished, students and families were outdoors and on the road. Businesses were open, people grocery shopping and getting gas and out and about living their day, that got caught in it.
Seeing them ask if they got the warning during the Tri-state Tornado just made me smile since tornado Warnings didn't exist before world war 2
Surprising that the El Reno tornado wasn't on the list. Might be that it was down graded to a EF-3 only because the amount of damage wasn't on the level of a EF-5 because it didn't really hit a large populated area. If it had, it likely would of been one of the most destructive tornadoes. It was a 2.6 mile wide, multi-vortex, rain wrapped monster that was the first tornado to claim the lives of storm chasers.
Radar also measured wind speeds of 300+mph
Bridge-Creek, Oklahoma at the time wasn't even incorporated as a town and had 48 people max (in 2000 it was 36 but 12 people died from the tornado) as it was an extremely small trailer-park kind of community so that was a massive loss for them. The tornado was at its peak F-5 intensity when it struck Bridge-Creek
When I was six years old back in 1983, we had a tornado that hit Springfield. We got hit and boy howdy, was that scary!! Afterwards, and even to this day, when there are sirens and tornado warnings, I tend to get panic attacks and anxiety. I'm sure I probably had PTSD, but I wasn't diagnosed with it until years later and that was for something else.
You know, the actor Bruce Campbell was in a movie that had to do with tornados. I can't remember the name of the movie, or his character, but I do remember one of the lines he said and I'll paraphrase it.
~"A tornado can pick up a carton of eggs and carry them for miles, then gently lay them down and none of them will be broken."~
I lived in the City of Springfield Missouri, which is less than an hour away from Joplin Missouri. I remember looking towards the West install that dark black cloud moving Southwest from Joplin, and watching the news after the tornado tour half of that town apart.
7:20 When warm air from the Gulf of Mexico meets the cold air from the mountains it creates powerful thunderstorms and if these storms rotate a funnel will come down creating a tornado
Watch the raw footage "Haysville to South Wichita 1991 tornado" & "Wichita - Andover Kansas tornado 1991" & "McConnel Air force base 1991 tornado" There is also synchronized muti-angle footage in 4 parts. Watch all these to see almost the entire life of this really pissed off tornado!
I got hit by an EF-4 in Oologah,Oklahoma the same day as the Andover tornado. It was a life altering day for our family.
I live in a part of "Tornado Alley" and have lived here for my whole life "27 years," and I've had to take cover for tornadoes more times than i can count, but i still have yet to actually see a tornado or experience one (thankfully).
The closest I've been to one was when a very small one passed over my house a few years back and touched down in a small farm land less than a half mile away from my house then went back up just before it got to the houses on the other side of the farm. It was one of those things that felt scarier after i found out what it was i actually heard, as i wasn't even taking cover at the moment it was over my house. I was going down the stairs to get to a safe place when i heard the wind pick up to at least 80mph for about 5-10 seconds. It was in the back of my mind during the moment i heard the wind, but it wasn't until the next day when i drove past the farmland and saw trees snapped and fences torn up that i realized what it was. Luckily, it was an insignificant one that didn't turn into anything.
Other than that, there was one other time when i was a kid where a tornado ripped through a part of town about 25 minutes from where i live, and i went down there afterward and saw the damage. There's still trees, to this day, in that area that are permanently bent towards where the tornado was.
But I've still yet to actually see a tornado or experience one. Just one close call with an insignificant one and damage from one in a different town.
I definitely would like to eventually see one out in a field somewhere. It's certainly on my bucket list, as weird as that might seem to some people.
You guys are among some of the best reactors on RUclips. And your personalities and variety of content. Are probably the two main reasons why ? Keep up the good work. How is your old partner doing ?
Watch Pecos Hank's video about the Tri-State Tornado. It's the best!
Bangladesh: "First time, huh?"
I heard about several tornadoes there in Bangladesh
Bee safe brother
Bangladesh has poor infrastructure and no tornado warning system, so even weaker tornadoes cause huge losses of life there. Despite them only getting about 6 tornadoes per year, it can be very dangerous. I pray for them.
Hey Loud Guys! Tornado footage you should check out is Washington, Illinois from 2013, and Fairdale, Illinois. Particularly, the footage from Clem Schultz.
Woke up at 4am to a tornado warning just a week ago, we're still flooding from that storm. Folks in the rest of the world don't realize how lucky they are to not deal with this shit.
I live in Xenia, the stories from those who experienced the tornado is crazy.
I have a friend who survived the 1999 Moore/OK City tornado. A few years later she moved to Joplin and went through that one too.
Tornado happened in our South Asia rarely
Lastly happened in Bangladesh
its simple science its the cold air from the west pacific/ rocky mountains colliding with warm air from the gulf leads to severe weather/ tornados, what makes it unpredictable is the jet stream over north america that constantly changes. but tornado alley is the meeting center nonetheless due to positioning of the gulf/ mountains
Hi guys! I live in Tornado Alley, near Fort Worth, Texas. I've been lucky enough to have seen 4 large tornadoes. They are beautiful, but scary at the same time. The last one to hit Fort Worth was over 20 years ago.
Yeah, we get tornadoes,hurricanes, earthquakes, blizzards and every other weather one can think of.
Another video about EF5s that you should totally react to is 'One Year Six EF5s' by Celtic Henderson.
Or I recommend these videos.
"April 27th 2011 Tornadoes: The Super Outbreak" by Disaster Documentaries and "April 27, 2011 Tornado Outbreak Montage" by RollTide1987. Both videos are so good at showing just how crazy April 27, 2011 was. I recommend the second one more, but it would be so awesome to see you react to both.
I have a video of the radio tornado- alert from couple months ago while i was driving lol
You have to put in Kansas city Missouri in 1957, it was an f5 and destroyed my moms house. Only thing was left was a linon closeet
Remember this, when you see a tornado, you are only seeing the debris it's carrying. You cannot see the swirling wind.
If you ever hear one coming, you will never forget that bound.>
If you see a tornado but it appears that it is not moving you need to run because this means the tornado is moving in your direction and they say to get into the bathtub because the bathtub can help protect you from flying debris like wood and glass which if it hit you it could be fatal you should also try to get into the basement away from windows because wood and metal debris can come in through the windows my grandfather actually built a small room in the center of his basement made of layers of plywood and about 6 inches of reinforced concrete for when tornado happens he kept it stocked with bottle water and non perishable food just in case
We had our first EF5 tornado in Nebraska about 2 weeks ago. It had been since 2013 when we last had one
Wasn’t that the one somewhere near Omaha?
Wasn’t that the one that struck somewhere outside of Omaha?
They are terrifying. I always nearly panic when we get severe storms because of this.
If you want to keep your sanity, do not research what the dead man walking tornado did to those people. its entirely too terrible.
It’s been ten years since an F5, they aren’t very common tornadoes, tornadoes happen in the us pretty much every year, it’s just the f5 stage that’s rarer
I lived near Lambert International airport in St. Louis, MO, and in 2011 an EF4 hit the airport, and my home was not far off the path. My two older children still remember hiding in our bathtub. It sounded like a freight train was all around us and it didn't even hit us directly, and this was an EF4 not even a 5. I remember hearing many Tragic stories from Joplin on the other side of the state of children being ripped from their parents arms and not being found again will days later... Truely horrifying.
There are hundreds of tornados every year. Each one is given a clasification from EF1 - EF5. There have been thousands of tornados the last ten years, but all of them have been EF4 or lower. People still can be hurt or killed by these, so we still treat them as if they are the most devastating tornados, because we just don't know until it's over what classification it was. Also, there were 4 EF5 tornados in one day, but a lot more lower classified tornados on that day, too. A lot of destruction on that day.
We had a tornado last week
The Wichita tornado of 91 is called the Andover F5. The structures at the time were not well built and it was actually less the then 5 minutes when the police rolled through with sirens to warn people. I know these facts because not only was I there that day, but I also live in the very same trailer park to this day!!!I can go out to the front yard, dig 6inches deep and pull up broken glass from the trailers that sat here first lol.
A good thing to point out for foreign viewers which is hard for them to understand is Well built doesn't mean masonry either. Homes in tornado prone areas are lashed together, in ways so they don't come apart as easily. And being well built doesn't save you from tornados either. The average European stone and masondry home wouldn't survive the average ef1 tornado and better then a stick house will. Well build Concrete buildings have been taken down by tornados. Tornados will eat any roof from breakfasts, and positive and negative pressure will destroy nearly any glass in a home if it wants.
The creepiest scenarios with a tornado are nighttime tornadoes. Unless you have radar up, you can't see them unless there's lightning around it, or hits power transformers.
9:30..... Nick (Swegle, the original poster) completely butchered the town of Wilkes-Barre.....
The "Wilkes" part is universally said as "WILL-kiss", but the "Barre" is commonly pronounced as "Bare/bear", and "berry".
Also, sorry for the multiple responses on 1 comment......
Sometimes, it's not about the overall destruction from a storm, but how slow the storm is.
Like Hurricane Agnes in 1972 caused more destruction here in central Pennsylvania, and other areas. It may have been only a category 2 hurricane, at worst, but it was slow moving.
While the United States is also a Tornado hotbed, it should be important to note that other regions of the world are the same. Bangladesh and south-central China also get tornadoes, but not at the same intensity or frequency. The most recent EF5 tornado to hit either India or Bangladesh was in 1989, the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado. Generally, the Ganges Basin is tornado prone.
On another note, US tornado outbreaks are uncommon, and most of the tornadoes in those outbreaks are only EF1 or EF2. the 1974 and 2011 tornado outbreaks each had upwards of three EF5 tornadoes in various regions.
There is a common phrase, calling EF5 tornadoes the "Finger of God", and for good reason. It is as if a deity reached down from heaven, and dragged his finger across the earth, leaving nothing but destruction in it's wake.
Jarell is still the most scary that was a dead man walking tornado
If ever there was a new category called an f6 Jarrell would definitely a fall under it
We just had our first one in ten years about a week ago in Iowa
we get tornados all the time here in US... we just had a bunch in 4 different states over the weekend 4-25-2024 to 4-28-2024. None EF5 but 3's and 4's.
Should watch the movie “Twister” wonderful disaster movie. 96 version. Absolutely would be up you guys’ alley
Joplin Tornado Terrifies me everytime 😢
We have 3 warnings with one confirmed in pauls valley oklahoma, one passing into tinker afb in okc confirmed on the ground
I grew up in Midwest, Minnesota. We got tornadoes every spring and fall. Not as much as the southern states and usually not as big. (EF1-EF3) People who live with this get use to it. Thats why youll see people still out and driving about. (Not to smart) But, we also are fascinated by God's nature and thrive to watch them. Storm chasers. My family definitely are into storms. They dont scare us as much as others. They have people whom will take you out to chase them and view from a safe distance. Kinda cool. Now i live in Northern California Redwoods and earth quakes are the norm here. 😳 Just found your channel and subscribed 😊. Be watching. You two seem like really nice people. Have u been to America?
There actually was a misstep blooper on the part of the original content creator and it concerns the movie Twister that was released in 1996 but he said 1966.
Great Reaction 👍👍
The people u see driving are tornado chasers they do it to try to help people with more warning so what they are doing is studying the tornado up close
Despite being the bottom of the list, the 2011 super outbreak was the most recent super outbreak and hopefully, we won't get one for another decade. Super outbreaks occur every forty to fifty years and historically speaking, there have only been three: the 1932 tornado super outbreak, the 1974 tornado super outbreak, and the 2011 tornado super outbreak. I highly recommend watching reacting to weatherbox's analysis of the 1974 super outbreak simply because of what that event did not just to the midwest and deep south but how it redefined tornado science as a whole thanks to the scientific mind of one man, Dr. Ted Fujita.
It is important for everyone around the world to remember the USA is probably the Most capable to deal with tornados. When Japan deals with earthquake and tsunamis they are experts at those disasters. So this is the Best response humanity can have. We will have More violent storms around the world and people should work to prepare.
Read about Bangladesh and Pakistan tornados.They had some of the worst.
You need to check out Reed Timer and his tornado chase videos And some of the other Tornado Chasers as well. Oklahoma is in what is called Tornado Alley which starts in Texas and goes through Oklahoma and Kansas .
Welcome to tornado alley where I live in Nebraska we have tornados in tornado alley every spring and summer go watch the Nebraska Iowa tornados in March 2024 there was 58 tornados that day one of them was an ef 4or 5
Oh they have had EF-5 tornadoes since then but the government refuses to classify them as EF-5.
I was in the 1991 Wichita / Andover F5
I grew up in Haysville (just south of Wichita)
im surprised no one has suggested storm chaser videos of those guys who chase tornados in pickups to get as close as they can with cameras
Those trucks are custom built for that.
@@Darth_Lunas not all of them there's some who just decide imma do it too 😹
Where I live is Texas but somewhere in Texas I don’t have tornados
And still, dads will stand outside and watch these like a TV show.
I was in the Xenia Ohio tornado. In the house I was in, the tornado took the house, and all that was left was myself and my sister, and a television. It even took the linoleum off the floor and left us.
Your that old?
The Tri-state tornado actually lasted 3 hours, it was the outbreak itself that lasted 7…isn’t that right? Correct me if I’m wrong. 🤔
Yes Sir
You are absolutely right
Hi, im from Alabama not far from the disaster storm
"That tornado has a PEN15"....lmao
The 1990's movie 'Twister' describes an F-5 tornado to be like the finger of God
The middle finger.
@@Regal99 well when dealing with sinners like us, who wouldn't wanna give people THAT finger?
Yo guys there was a mini tornado in australind/Bunbury erea and it hit the residential erea and hit one big building the pypc building and it happened on Friday or Saturday and no one died that we know
Technology has given us some warning, but much more needs to be done.
Be sure to watch the movie Twister from 1996. It's not 100% accurate, but it's still a good film. The sequel (Twisters) comes out later this year. 😉
The victims of the Jarrell Texas tornado had to be identified by dental records.
😅😂 FYI the Tuscaloosa tornado didn't have a penis; it had what is referred to as a horizontal curl or a 'mini satellite' which is indicative in leymans terms of a very powerful tornado (this tornado had peak windspeeds at 100 ft AGL of 270 - 280 mph) @TheLoudGuys
Luckily, no tornadoes in California! Just earthquakes, like India! 😲 🙂
