Fun fact - The hills that make up the Windmill museum use a lot of debris from this tornado as the base to build them up, as Lubbock is an extremely flat place on it's own

I grew up in a small suburb of Lubbock called Wolfforth. It is about 8 miles SW of the city. I had just finished my first year of high school. My father was the post master of the town, and there was a new post office building that had just been built. When the sirens started, my father gathered us (mother, brother, and me) together along with some of our neighbors and took us down to the new building thinking since it was brick and steel reinforced concrete, the building would be stronger than most of the town. Luckily, the storm passed over our town before the tornado hit the ground. I'm pretty sure there were no wind turbines then. LOL

I WAS BOT YET BORN WHEN THE LUBBOCK TEXAS TORNADO 🌪️ HAPPENED ON MAY 11, 1970, BUT, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WOULD BE 1 YEAR OLD LATER THAT YEAR.

My mom got a metal pin in her ankle(Connie Smith/Pimlott) I went to visit the memorial and bought my pokemon tin based on a tornado pokemon

My mom was a victim of this tornado. She is still scarred to this day and terrified of tornadoes. Her dad, my grandfather, was one of the first storm chasers back in the 30’s-60’s in Stamford Tx.

Is the narrator the original voice of "radio Tom" that we heard during the 90's emergency broadcast radio? Sounds exactly like the voice

I was 22 months old when the tornado hit. It is my first memory. We lived in a trailer park in Acuff (east 4th street). After the storm had passed and my family emerged from the storm shelter in the trailer park, there was damage to our roof and all the windows had shattered. We were extremely blessed to have survived and had no more damage to our home than the roof and windows.

I was in that tornado me and my family

Why does this guy sound like hank hill

I love haboobs, big and small, any size will do. Sorry i had to

THIS IS VERY INTERESTING AND VERY EDUCATIONAL!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

WOW!

I don't remember the 1970 tornado as I lived in Arizona at the time and never saw a documentary until now. Thanks for posting.

Wait what...exceptional air quality?? Lubbock??? IT'S SO DUSTY !!!

Not being rude but it sounds like you need to blow your nose in this video no disrespect

I was living in Green fair apartments.

I was 9 years old,when the tornado hit Lubbock, Texas.

Mam, I'm getting Goosebumps ! I haven't even seen the tornado yet 🙃 😐 😕 😩 😫.

Exceptional air quality? My asthma says otherwise about this dust

7.9.'79 - she is the 3rd child of 4+1. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. 8.9.'89 - she is the 5th child of 8. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Today is 9.9.'22

I do not favour the intonation of your voice sir. Sorry.

Very interesting but unfortunately here in the uk we don't get strong storms most of the time they don't have a anvil like in the pictures

Am I the only one who thinks this guy sounds like butthead from beavis and butthead?

I was 5 years old when this tornado hit. Remember this day very well.

This tornado along with the Waco tornado from 1953 are perfect examples of what could happen to Oklahoma City and Dallas if they got a direct hit from a F5 tornado

March 2 years ago I think it was I saw rotation in my neighborhood 54th & Salem when we had a Tornado watch and warning which took pictures of the clouds. I was outside watching the clouds and living on the 2nd floor apartment I have nowhere to go. But luckily nothing happened but wss close and could hear tornado sirens in the distance as well.

There is only one thing more dangerous friend and that is two wild and crazy guys. Look out you American foxes.

This tornado sparked my desire to chase tornadoes in that area for years. I was there the day after, helping survivors and injured with an ambulance with my dad. I will never forget a church that was totally blown away except for the north wall with the cross. Where the podium would have been was a small table with a large bible, opened to the 23rd psalm. Not one page was torn. I had to chase anything that could do something like that. I was hooked.

So, let's face the facts the only safe way to deal with a tornado is underground

13 حقيقة اعصار التورنادوا : هو في الاساس رباني ومن غضب الله الجبار ومن شدته انه اذا مر على نهر شقه نصفين ورفع قاعه الطيني وذر ترابه في الهواء وكذلك يقتلع البنايات والبيوت والاشجار ومن ثم رميها في مكان بعيد مهما كانت ثقيلة وعظيمة ويحمل الجسور والقناطر والخزانات الكبيرة ويدور بها وكانها عود ثقاب ويلفها كالمروحة من شدة قوته العنيفة ويحمل معه الحيوان والانسان الى عنان السماء ثم يلفظه خارج الغلاف الجوي او الكرة الارضية وكانها عملية تفريغ نحو الفضاء الخارجي مما يتسبب بخسائر مادية جسيمة وهائلة تقدر بمئات المليارات من الدولارات وهذا غيظ من فيض وهذا بعض ما يجري في امريكا ان الذين كذبوا باياتنا واستكبروا عنها لا تفتح لهم ابواب السماء ولا يدخلون الجنة حتى يلج الجمل في سم الخياط ... اوكل الله جل في علاه بكل شئ ملكا : فهناك ملك الجبال وملك البحار وملك السحاب وملك الرياح وباستطاعته ان يامرها بما يريد ان زلزلوا او احرقوا او دمروا او حطموا او اغرقوا فينتقم الله ممن يشاء ولا يستطيع اي مخلوق في هذا الكون منع قضاءه جل وعلا ويقال ان صوت الرعد حسبما ورد في الاثر انه صوت الملك الذي يزجر به السحاب ويسوقه حيث يشاء بامر الله عز وجل ... والله اعلم قال تعالى ( وما تاتيهم من آية من آيات ربهم الا كانوا عنها معرضين ) وقال تعالى ( فأرسلنا عليهم الطوفان والجراد والقمل والضفادع والدم ... ) وقال تعالى ( وان يروا كسفا من السماء ساقطا يقولوا سحاب مركوم ) وقال تعالى ( فلما راوه عارضا مستقبل اوديتهم قالوا هذا عارض ممطرنا بل هو مااستعجلتم به ريح فيها عذاب اليم ) وقال تعالى ( ولو شئنا لرفعناه بها ولكنه أخلد إلى الأرض واتبع هواه فمثله كمثل الكلب إن تحمل عليه يلهث أو تتركه يلهث ذلك مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بآياتنا فاقصص القصص لعلهم يتفكرون ) وقال تعالى ( مثل الذين حملوا التوراة ثم لم يحملوها كمثل الحمار يحمل اسفارا بئس مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بآيات الله والله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين ) وقال تعالى ( قل ياأهل الكتاب لستم على شيء حتى تقيموا التوراة والإنجيل وما أنزل إليكم من ربكم وليزيدن كثيرا منهم ما أنزل إليك من ربك طغيانا وكفرا فلا تأس على القوم الكافرين ) وهذا ما سيحدث لامريكا كثيرا وستدفع الثمن باهضا كل شئ انتهى ولا يستطيعون فعل اي شئ اللهم عليك بهم فانهم لا يعجزونك

My parents lived during this 1970 tornado

Was 12 that night, spending it with my grandmother 60 miles east of Lubbock. Listening to the radio giving updates on the tornado. I asked granny why God would allow this to happen? She replied "Baby, sometimes the old Devil just gets loose". Never forget that night.

Yikes that radar signature is a cluttered mess!

That is cool the tornado executed a turn and went over the original path

When I was a kid, the dry line was what we hung damp clothing on.

A good documentary with decent narration, photos, and even interviews! This research in 1970 proved vital to Dr. Theodore Fujita's Tornado Scale! One minor complaint. Chart of the so-called "Tornado Alley" @1:50 must be a joke... That's not even half of tornado alley! Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and especially Mississippi want a word with you. May the fact be pointed out to NWS Lubbock that more people die of tornadoes annually in Alabama than Texas and Oklahoma combined! Guess where the first two tornados recorded in US history struck? Mississippi.

Gotta love all the youngsters commenting about Hank Hill and/or computer voicing here. People used to talk with a uniform professional delivery when speaking of matters as important as the subject herein. Kids today don't understand it if it isn't filled with slang and vulgarity or at least some variation of dumbed down street talk.

Im 15

i was 2

Why did Mother Nature have to do this

My dad got to close the door but the tornado pull the door us we have to hide under the bunker

Still got pictures my Dad took of the aftermath, at the gas utility, there

o m7y =gosh this is boring

My mom and her family lost everything in this tornado...the roof was ripped off their house but my mom had a 5 dollar bill on her night stand...untouched.....creepy

From small town by lubbock...watching this after the storms and tornado warnings we got today and yesterday ✌

i lived in the city for 30 years, tornado's in the area were a common deal, but not a safe thing

Thanks hank hill, very cool 👍

The narrator sounds like a Chinese dwarf with a learning disability and a cleft palate with his mouth full of mashed potatoes trying to imitate a Southern accent.
