I am thinking this video should be provided to everyone at FEMA. What better way to learn what is to be done in such a horror as this-and do those things diplomatically. I enjoyed this very much- best presentation I’ve heard in a very long time. Thank you so much for posting this

Wasn't it 46 minutes or does 20 minutes refer to how long it took to enter Joplin?

Still one of the best PSAs! I look for it every year. And the message is clear and relevant.

I have this radio

This is fascinating! So interesting and well made. Thank you!

How much of a POS do you have to be to drive to a natural disaster to loot the remains of people's destroyed houses?

My guy said the EF5 wiped out 3 major cities and said "Oklahoma City on a continuous basis" damn Never understood why people choose to live in Oklahoma. No thank you.

But the only reason its a EF5 is because it hit people / caused damage. How many EF5 speed tornados are there everywhere?

El Reno was 2.6 miles, 302 mph. So size and wind speed don’t matter when assigning EF. It was rural and only hit some buildings indirectly, with EF3 damage.

This is one of my favorite tornado videos to watch. It’s so interesting and informative. But also heartwarming to hear how people come together after a disaster.

Thank you !!!!!

How did you have the NWS chat up to read? Is it only for public officials and news channels? Otherwise, as a storm tracker with a private company, how do I get access and/or download this? Thank you.

What y’all accomplished was amazing. Every evening I would stand there and see how the day went and was amazed at what was accomplished.

Duquesne is actually French

Every city emergency planning agency should watch this incredible video. So impressive.

Tuscaloosa sure did but not nearly as bad. My brothers house destroyed burned in the area.

Here's a question... this Tornado was on the ground, causing catastrophic damage from 5:34 to 6:20... 46 minutes on the ground, yet the NWS office in Springfield did not issue a Tornado emergency? Sure it happened too fast for west Joplin, but a Tornado Emergency being issued would have certainly been beneficial for the east side of town, and the outer towns to the east like Diamond and Duquesne, which were hit just as hard.

The only thing I disagreed with is them trying to reopen school immediately. I mean, REALLY? IT was the 23rd of May! How many days were left in the school year? 5?

At 48:00... I knew this.... so when I built my house in 1995, I installed hurricane ties on EVERY rafter, and didn't nail, but SCREWED them in.

Talking about a resume😅 cant believe just sat thru a presentation and didnt nod off and didnt need to😅😅

The NWS says that when a tornado reachs EF-5 wind speed, it doesn't matter if the wind speed is lower or higher than a different EF-5. Same damage occurs. Not sure why this guy doesnt agree with, or understand EF ratings. There is no reason to even come up with a EF-6 rating, since the rating is distinguished from damage. Some people see a wedge tornado and naturally think there is going to be total devastation. A wedge can be a EF-1. However, the width of a tornado is a main factor with damage. For instance, if the El Reno, Ok. tornado had hit Joplin, there would have been way more than the 161 deaths due to its size, not the wind speed. Some EF-5's have dug down deep enough in the ground to kill people in cellars. I'm sure that the type of earth is a factor. A EF-5 in the Ozarks couldnt dig down as far as one in Iowa, due to many areas only having a very thin layer of soil on top of stone. The Joplin tornado dug up dirt that was contaminated with a flesh eating bacteria that blew into some wounds. If the tornado had happened on a weekday, chances are that there would have been less deaths unless it had happened at night. Many people would have been at work causing residential neighborhoods to be less populated.

Went from dead man walking vortices to large wedge in 20 seconds...crazy.

I have a question that has always bothered me. Are there community storm shelters, or discussion of such? Also, since trailer parks will probably always be with us. Has there ever been any planning toward some sort of community shelters in those parks?

This was an excellent presentation. Very Clearly set out. I could not think of any question you didn't cover. My German assistant cringed about "Duquesne" Which is a French name. Sorry to be one of those people that correct things. Just trivia.

What an amazing human being.

WR 100 be like

DUDE! I live next to the Log Cabin house that was mentioned at 1:14:30 !!! (Ps: It’s my same house I lived in during the tornado which was in the path of most destruction next to JHS.)

I wonder if he's the kind of guy that everyone can't stand at first, but that everyone in the community needs. And to think, all this damage took place in minutes.

“Everything started to go south” -I live in the south. Don’t appreciate the stereotyping of an entire part of our USA.

Mannn me and my family Goins enterprise did so much of water work for Joplin . My uncle call during the tornado told us be ready go to work and work we did every bit of it.

This was an amazing video. This gentleman did a superior job with this horrific disaster.

A fantastic source of information for any community that needs guidance in town recovery. Well done!!

Such a fantastic speaker. Joplin is lucky to have had you in Emergency management sir.

and I’m watching this while my weather radio station is just static 😢

Former EMT in St. Louis. Hearing the cooperation and mutual aid from all kinds of cities, utilities and EMS….that’s impressive, and wonderful in an area and time of such devastation.

My Chinese Special kicks ass. Gets three stations!

Oh my god, I tornado ripping through Picher, OK is a double disaster!

When a 400 lbs siren is pulled off its mount and flung tto a place, never to be seen, for as the cuty civil engineer was aware. Imagine just out living off the grid 4 miles away just camping in the woods. Out of nowhere a huge chunk of metal while it's siren propeller is spinning and making its typical siren sound headed right at your head, but lands 10 ft in front of your feet and digs a groove right at your feet

3 million sq ft. Of debris. Off subject, 600,000 sq.ft twin towers debris, interesting enough, the evaporation of the iron structure was the exception to the rule of steel I beams. So, that's a question mark and the dump trucks were not just available, but ready to have loaded and dumped in a scrap yard and shipped to China, quickly.

I've wanted to know since the first time I saw this tornado form how far from the actual city where businesses and homes did this tornado touch down.

Someone complained that he turned one of the sirens off? "I didn't turn it off, it just up and disappeared! 400lb piece of steel just gone!" That made me laugh but also made me realize just how damn powerful that Twister was (and who tf complained??).

23:30 Keith Stammer (The one doing this presentation) had noted that the Weather Channel reporter had unknowingly picked a location near bodies and had seen them during this interview, which in turn made him emotional during the broadcast. This was not what had actually happened, even though it appears so by what was shown. The reporter had thought he had seen a body of a female when he was looking around while talking and had become overwhelmed with emotion during that segment. Shortly after the segment ended, the reporter looked back to where the "body" was laying and noticed multiple individuals coming up to the girl laying on the ground. The camera man zoomed in on the girl laying down and quickly discovered she was alive and was only injured. (Injuries are not noticeable) For whatever reason, this information was left out of the presentation and the video had been cut before that part was shown. Not sure why the person who put the presentation together decided to leave this big bit of information out, but it's very misleading. The full length unedited version of that live broadcast is here on UA-cam.

I remember helping at Mcauley Catholic High School with clothing donations.

Hmm no mention of weather control by the military....I wonder y ..he so smart ain't he.

This man is truly a wealth of information - amazing. Wow!

Is this from 1996?

The two or three semis is funny and humbling at the same time.

The tornado which will never be forgotten...I explained about what a tornado is to my classmates and the joplin tornado was the first example I explained
