It's funny, I grew up watching these shows and always laughed when they say "it does sound like a train." An EF2 went right over my tornado shelter a couple years ago and..... it does sound just like a train. It's very distinctive and the immediate thought is 'holy shit that's a tornado.'
Yeah, I've heard people describe it sounding like a jet and that's what it sounded like to me when one went by near where I was hunkered down. Less of the airplane whine, but a very loud rumble like a huge engine.
My mom livied through a ef 3 that missed there house by a block in Columbia tn in the 90s or 2000s I don't know but she said it sounded like a fright train
Yeah people say it sounds like a train. I've also heard people say it sounds like a jet. Either tornadoes are loud when they are close to you. The monster EF5 you can hear from a mile away and it's still loud but from that distance it sounds like a roar. I don't think I'll ever be in a tornado cause I live in Southeastern Massachusetts where thunderstorms usually die out before they hit my city. Sometimes we do get a real good thunderstorm, probably twice a year. Tornadoes in Massachusetts usually happen out in the Western part where the thunderstorms are really strong. There was a EF2 or EF3 that hit a few towns in Western Massachusetts in 2012 I think or 2011. The tornado did some significant damage to houses, businesses and a really old church. I would like to see a tornado but out in a huge open field where there isn't any homes or live stock. I would just like to experience it once in my lifetime.
We had had so many false warnings, so many that people stopped taking it seriously. My dad was one of the first responders, they made him a deputy and he searched near all night long. We lost 6 directly in Lone Grove 4 in a trailer that was completely destroyed, 2 driving on the highway at the time. I am quite disappointed with how little is actually in this video. Other interesting things: A house was pulled off of a hill where it rolled for 20 yrds and the 80 year old lady that lived there survived because her mattress trapped her against the wall. The steeple of the biggest church in town was ripped of and thrown through a local bar. The tornado picked up before it got to the school and touched back down almost immediately afterwards. There is a tree that is still alive in town that has a 8 square foot piece of sheet metal nearly bisecting it. The police searched for about 30 min chasing what sounded like a woman screaming in the woods. I am certain that it was the local cougar that was wounded and later died. (no more tracks)
Umm......Oklahoma has WAY more EF5 tornadoes than Missouri does. ( FYI.....2 strongest Tornadoes in the world were in Oklahoma ) So I am pretty sure he knows as much if not more about than you do. SMH
@@Yousebear my uncle passed away last Saturday evening dude rip 🪦 my uncle 😢😭😭. I’m am doing ok 👌 now I was very depressed Ever since my uncle passed away last Saturday evening rip my uncle.
The WORST thing you can do with already frightened children is say or scream that “You’re going to die!” They need your support! No matter what the outcome. Swallow your own fear and be that comfort for them they so desperately need.
Mothers get scared too you know. They are still human and have human emotions. Don't judge or invalidate a person's fear because you think you can do better.
@@Auburngal03 no way . I don’t agree with you. you’re going to die? maybe let’s pray ! something ? you’re gonna be OK !!!! on the way out comfort them . They WILL remember that. I’m telling you it’s going to be in their subconscious that she said you’re going to die let’s hope they didn’t know what death meant
'we're all going to die! ' .... That's the way, frighten the life out of your kids. You're the mum, you're meant to be the voice of reason and comfort, your poor kids will be traumatized.
Sure it scared the kids, but unless you have ridden through the same experience and have first hand experience handling it better then this is all assumptions.
The thing with shock is that you can’t always conduct yourself in a dignified way. I’m sure she thinks about that moment with shame, but she was honest about it. I’d find that more commendable than someone saying she calmly sat there unaffected. She got her kids to safety. She did good. She’s talking about how she responded. Keyboard Warriors here would probably fly around like Superman and save everyone before calmly meditating in a field. 🙄🙄🙄
As a person who survived a lot of these storms in their life, my family laughs when i take it seriously. We live around giant ass oak trees all around us, i almost lost my mom because lightning struck one and it nearly crushed her. Im terrified of severe storms, especially at night. Ive had nightmares when the tornadoes were at our back door and it was too late to move. I grew up watching the weather channel closely and storm stories, id go into panic mode when i hear the siren or a severe weather goes off on my phone. Id rather be safe than not. The 2012 outbreak nearly killed us, i dont remember what it was, between f2-f4.
Know exactly how the lady who couldn’t find her shoes felt. Was in the Moore tornado in 2013 and we got the warning so we went to the tornado shelter (which we hadn’t opened in 2 years) and it was so rusted it wouldn’t open. We could see the tornado about a mile away and we knew all we could do is go into the bathroom( not underground) and pray. We were blessed because it barely did any damage in our yard but 2 houses down it was practically leveled.
I could not imagine seeing the tornado coming and not being able to open up the door on your shelter sounds like a scene out of a movie im glad you all made it through ok always a good idea to make sure your shelter is up to date
@@denisemancina9548 honestly it was more mesmerizing and cool until we found out it wouldn’t open. That’s when we got scared. Just think of it like this... if you do the best possible thing for your family and yourself that’s usually going to be good enough.
COMPLETELY P different situation from someone not being able to find some damn shoes, and a storm shelter door not opening because it's rusted shut. To hell with those shoes, why have only one pair anyway?
Always have backpacks shoes you should invest in Football helmets for your kids and yourself your pets blankets n dog crates if you can't transport pets. This all saved our life I remember this Oklahoma Twistersss
We have bicycle helmets we use. They hang in my basement on the laundry room door (my designated safest room). I bought them for less than $4 at a local thrift store.
Me and my family had a tornado 🌪 warning ⚠️ when we had a real actual tornado 🌪 warning ⚠️ I had to pee during the tornado that struck Ohio I was scared. For my life I had to pee during the tornado shelter. In my basement but I love ❤️ tornadoes Videos Thaink you for making storm ⛈ story I love storm stories. Who ever made these storm stories
Jim Gardner is one of if not possibly the best ever! He should be given credit for saving many many lives in Oklahoma. I have a lot of respect for him. Met him at a small town event that was held for kids to get up close with fire trucks, police cars and he was there with his helicopter. He was so good with all the kids. I know he made my son's day.
Peyton Morris goodness!! 😩 I moved to S FL and only lasted three months because of the weather. I could never get used to fleeing hurricanes. Continued blessings and lots of protection to you and your family
@@peytonmorris1499 what was it like? I've always found the moore OK, tornados to be the most interesting, but also scary, and I'd love to know your experience.
@@bailey4064 i just remember the Moore tornado in 2013. I was 20 and was driving home and the clouds looked funny and i immediately knew that there was a tornado coming down. So i got home and went down into my basement and i heard a sound of a frieght train and it got closer and closer and finally it was there. I was praying for me and my family and the next thing i knew it was over. So i opened my basement door and i didnt see my roof. So im like the tornado just destroyed my house. And i couldnt believe what i saw. So i immediately checked on my neighbors and they were all fine so i text my parents and they wefe ok.
@@marthashipp8294 well I'm from Oklahoma. So I hear it all the time. But it's true that all states think it's their saying. But actually mark twain said it 1st and it was about new England. So.....
Okay.... I’m not judging to harshly. I can’t imagine living through tornadoes like that. In Canada we have them but not like a brothers to the south. However, I can’t imagine screaming to my children “ we are all going to die! “ like talk about making it more traumatic for your kids. I know it’s not easy to hold it together in a terrifying situation but I just felt really uncomfortable as a mom hearing another mom screaming “we are going to die” at your children like wow lady.
Hey, I’m Canadian to, but put yourself in her shoes for a moment, she was panicking out of her mind because a potential killer tornado was about to go over her and her children. It’s easy to say that what she said was wrong after the fact, but when you’re living it, it’s a totally different story
@@williamcote4208I live in a state that gets tornadoes, I’ve had to go into my basement with my kids multiple times… and I couldn’t imagine saying that 😬😬 I came to the comments seeing if anyone else had the same thought I did, yikes to that mom.
I'm not a parent but it can't be easy keeping calm when you have a twister eating your house above your head. Still I do have to agree with everyone saying her words weren't helping the poor kid.
6:50 Seriously?! I understand how you might think that, but what kind of mother says that out loud in front of her terrified little children??? It's like she wanted her children to be as terrified and traumatized as possible.
The soil is reddish clay. It doesn't drain. It is ridiculous expensive to build a basement. Since the 1993 and 2013 EF5's, many have purchased safe rooms but yes, many still lack any shelter.
@@cmerton Tornado pod type shelters (cylindrical steel, 4 person) can be trucked in and installed relatively cheaply on a concrete slab. When a large, potentially violent tornado is approaching, some TV meteorologists and chasers keep telling people to "get underground" when they should be saying get to shelter... they give people the idea that above the ground shelters are inadequate, so they don't end up buying any kind of shelter. Purpose-built above ground shelters have performed very well when hit by actual tornadoes, including violent ones.
I live in the western edge of Texas and although I've experience a couple of tornado warnings, it has never actually happened. I'm glad of my town's geographic location.
No. This is the wrong idea to have. You still absolutely live in a tornado prone area, and just because one hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will. This type of thinking will get you killed. Always follow precautions and stay weather aware
@@daisyredding2413 yeah that's true but its not as prone as say the Dallas-Fort Worth area or the Houston area, where its more common than in El Paso (where I live)
rage storms it’s more of a desert out there. Places that are flat or the east coast have a greater chance developing a EF5 tornado than places in a desert. Joplin is in tornado alley.
I live in Michigan, we don't get tornadoes often but we occasionally get a F0- F1. And in the town I'm in usually doesn't get the worst of the storms. Almost like we're in a bubble, but I usually take tornado warnings seriously, I watch the sky and the weather on TV. My mom and brothers laugh at me and say we're not gonna get anything. I'm like one day we will and you will regret saying that.
The mother in this story was understandably panicking. I'm sure she regrets saying, in front of her children that they were all going to die. We all are imperfect at times. She deserves understanding, not ridicule.
People don’t take into consideration the actual emotions someone would be feeling I mean I can’t even imagine the terror she must’ve felt. The fact that she was able to drive and get her children into the house is super brave. I wish people were able to acknowledge that. She most likely does regret it. She’s so brave and her panicking is completely understandable.
It's funny, I say I'm a grown man who played ice hockey for almost 31 years of my 31 year life and I feel like I can take a beating and keep going. So to think I could die in a tornado that hits my home makes me laugh. But then you see documentaries like this. You can be as tough as Brock Lesnar and as quick as Hussein Bolt, but you can't stop a 3,000 pound vehicle from smashing into you.
I have been through a few tornadoes in northeastern Oklahoma. The first when I was 6. I've been through traumatic events. But it's hard to top that of a tornado. Mother nature at its angriest in smaller area for sure.
@@neonflashsparkotron5435 Well, despite the hardships of that day, you made it through, so here you are now. Much love, friend, and my condolences for all that you might've lost that day.
@@wadewilson8011Ironically enough, I’ve seen a video of a Canadian tornado filmed by a family and when the kid said “Go away mister tornado”, I kid you not, the tornado veered away from them.
Imagine if her husband was private William Hudson from the aliens movie GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER poor kids would of had a heart attack with the 2 adults losing their shit.
Jaque you been in that situation before? If not I suggest you not talk. It's easy to say what you would or would not have done until you are in a situation like that. We lost our house in the 2013 Moore tornado and until you are in a situation like that it's impossible to say exactly how you would react.
I’ve been in a tornado, though it was weak since tornadoes are rare where is live, it didn’t directly hit my house but it was close to my friend’s house who lives close to me and though my mom was saying it would be okay I was still freaking out because my dog wouldn’t go down the steps to the basement
I live in Maryland and five years ago when I was a senior in High School it was February 19, 2014 and we had a tornado warning and we had to take cover in the hall ways. If you think a tornado warning in OKC is rare in February think about Maryland xd
In 2011, there was the Joplin Tornado when I was born in May. Crazy, my Dad was stunned, it was when I was in the hospital and it a few miles from the hospital and they were ready to move me and Mom to the hallway, if needed. My Dad stayed. I’m thankful that my Dad is here. Rest In Peace Mom.❤❤
I was born during a blizzard lol but I can't imagine finding out what you just described. My mom died a few years ago too so I'm very sorry to read this 😢
The problem people are facing is these days is what I call the "Used to bad weather effect" People become so normalized to bad weather in tornado alley or in Dixie alley that they ignore warnings, then when one of these tornadoes hits its hell on Earth for people who refuse to listen to warnings. They end up trapped or corned in place, & severely hurt. If you receive any kind of Tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning take it seriously. I'm a SKYWARN storm chaser & am the reason these warnings get issued. When I give warning to the National Weather Service, they verify my CallSign, I send them proof of a tornado or severe indicators, then they immediately trigger the EAS (emergency alert system) warnings through your own phones, radios, & tv stations within 2 minutes. When people are hurt, it makes me think I failed to warn people. No matter how many times you deal with severe weather, listen to the warnings please!! If you have a tornado shelter, keep an air horn or jack with you in case that door won't open.
I remember watching David Payne on TV that May 3rd. Being that close to the tornado was pretty brave. I lived in Southeast New York State at that time and I was at a pizza parlor and they had a TV above the counter. All the customers and employees just clustered around the TV. We were just shell shocked.
I have so much respect for firefighters!!! They are the true heroes. I have seen so many video's of car crashes etc and it is the fire dept that does the search and rescue in bad car accidents too.
I was in high school when this one happened. I remember coming home and seeing the news we get to calling family they are from Oklahoma and made sure everyone was okay
Here in Oklahoma when putting in cellars or basements you must trench a large deep area around it to make way for ground water to flow away & not into basements & cellars. It adds a tremendous cost in addition to original cost of the construction.
I'm from Lone Grove and I remember this. I was in College in Dallas at the time. But I remember coming down and seeing all the damage. Fortunately my mom's house wasn't hit but the damage all around was intense. I don't remember tornados in previous years causing so much damage.
in1967 we hadA January tornado in St. Louis after dark before bedtime. I remember all that day it was stifling and hot for the middle of winter and the next day it was bitterly cold and snowing. The only other one I experienced was a vicious pre dawn tornado in February in extreme Southern Illinois that hit Harrisburg. Same hot day and 50 degree temp. drop cold front collide.
My family lived about a quarter mile from where the Pack family lived. My brother and my father along with myself stood on the back porch looking SW at the tornado moving our direction and could see the darkness of the tornado which was much more darker than the darkness of the tree line. Our home was spared but so many of our nearby neighbors lost everything.
When my grandfather was going up on a farm with 8 brothers and 4 sisters in Iowa and they were out in the fields and a tornado was coming, he said they knew where every culvert was under the roads. They would run like crazy to get in them, water and all. They would huddle in the middle until the tornado blew through. No one was ever lost. The women at the house had an underground storm cellar. Wow!
That could have just been part of the reenactment. As you can tell most of this was filmed after the tornado and maybe she didnt have the text anymore so they had her type a similar message to what she received.
Kansas here🌻🌻🌻🌻 I survived 1991 Andover April 26th (22 deaths) never ever forget tornado🌪🌪 mile WIDE twister plowed through our Town McConnell Air force Base I have pictures of it. Amazing the 🔊🔊🔊of 🌪🌪is a train it's coming loud and was bout 35 mph storm.. Never forget Stay Safe 🌍☀⛅☁💧⚡❄ 🌪🌪Weather warriors
My grandfather grew up on the farm in Iowa. He said they knew where every storm drain to take cover in case of a tornado. They be in the fields all day. It was the difference between life and death, as long as you could reach them. 12 BIG BOYS CRAMING INTO THEM. BUT NOW ONE WAS HURT. THE WOMEN HAD THE ROOT cellar to take coverer in with the dogs!
I am so irritated with the woman that could not find her shoes. You and your husband had been watching tornadoes all day long and at the last minute you mean to tell me that you can't find your shoes. So aggravating
I can't comprehend the totality of bad decisions made by the people in this video. Stopping to get a dog with your kids in the car and a tornado barreling down, leaving your wife in the house, and on and on. Living in the area 30 years and going through a few tornados I don't get it.
12:04 Wow, lady, have a little perspective and get your priorities straight. What's worse dying in a tornado or going outside barefoot? I mean seriously!
I keep hearing these people as they are sheltered in basements or storm shelters saying things like......."I thought I was going to die." or "I didn't think I would make it." This confuses me. How many people have died while in their basement or storm shelter? I can't imagine that number being very high at all.
Just last night somebody was killed in their basement in Alabama when a tornado dropped a tree on the home and it fell all the way down into the basement and crushed them. It's rare but it can happen.
@@KermitTheGamer21 People have died on roller coasters. Yet people still ride them all the time. And when they get off the ride they aren't sitting there saying things like... "OMG, you know how close to death we just came? I was praying that we would make it back alive." No they don't because its extremely rare for accidents like that to happen. So that's my point. It's so rare that they would be hurt while in a shelter, so why do they come out all traumatized and thinking they were so close to death? Now granted, the roller coaster thing isn't a perfect analogy. I realize that there is death and destruction going on all around people who are in shelters while a tornado tears thru their area. But their worry is misplaced. They should be coming out of the shelter saying things like....."I was so worried about my neighbors and family that live near by. I prayed that they would all be OK."
People do die in basements. I haven't heard about anybody dying in a storm shelter. In the Alabama 1998 tornado, nine people in basements died. People get sucked out or you lose the ceiling of the basement and stuff falls on you (like a pickup truck). I remember reading about a woman and her children in the 1974 tornado outbreak who pushed a table against the basement wall and gathered her children around her. Most of her children survived but she and the one she was holding got crushed to death. So while it is not common (44% of people die in mobile homes) it happens often enough that I would be afraid. And I live in the mountains of Maryland.
@@ellasmommy9278 "People do die in basements" I never claimed they didn't. Also, the 9 who died in basements, was this 9 different basements or was this just 1 or 2 basements with many people in them?
I actually haven't heard of this tornado but I feel sorry for anyone who went thru a tornado I went through one February 2008 an F4 hit a mile from my trailer almost 6 years old & killed 2 & isn't known due to the rural area I lived in
I love ❤️ all of your storm ⛈ stories about tornadoes 🌪 dude rip for those people who lost there lives during the Oklahoma City tornado warning ⚠️. 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
1.) If you SAW the tornado when you're already at a house picking up a dog, why would you spend more time going to your own house, when you can go into the house you are already at and take shelter?! Not even going to talk about the "we're all going to die" thing lol 2.) Trailer park woman, I hope that taught you to listen to your daughter when she tells you to take shelter!
Make a good first point, another is I think if I had four kids in the car I would worry more about them getting to shelter immediately with a tornado so close, not getting a neighbors dog, sorry to dog lovers! I thought the trailer park girl was actually very smart with making so much noise though
Would you rather walk out of the shelter, walking on broken down stuff with bare feet or take a second to grab a shoe and run. (Like not putting on them.)
Bryan is considered family to me, although we have never met. Staying up all night with us and being so calm while we were going through the worst situations imaginable in Country Walk. I almost got blown out of a sliding glass door, and we went into an inside area of the home. That is when we heard you say to take a mattress and go into your bathtub. It was me and two of my neighbors inside a roman tub with a mattress on top of us, and we held on for dear life! The roof blew off a bit but then slammed back into the home. The sliding glass door glass seemed to be alive. They would move in and out with the wind, and at the moment, I was mesmerized to be seeing this. It seemed like they were breathing. The sliding glass door finally shattered when what seemed like a freight train crashed into the home, with the howls of animals hellbent on killing us all coming through the shattered windows. I was actually surprised that although barefoot, when the sliding glass shattered it was in square shaped pieces, i walked on it and I wasn't cut at all. I had a tiny battery-powered tv in the roman tub, and we could only see Bryan there while we were in tears and screaming for it to stop. My neighbor lewis and I had to leave the roman tub because the front door blew open, we nailed it shut with a yard bench we stored inside but not before a gust of wind tossed me on the roof and I broke the top of the roof inner wall and passed out on the floor. Then it started getting quiet, and we were saying it was over. We took the wood off the front door and came outside, and you could see the most beautiful sky and birds flying. We started screaming to other neighbors to see if they were ok, and we were all crying, laughing it was over, it wasn't over, we were in the eye of the hurricane and we were not informed enough to know it, those winds came back so quickly we barely made it back in the house and secured the door again and ran to the roman tub. We again made that roman tub our sanctuary it was big enough for all three of us under a mattress. When we came out, it was a different world. It was like an episode of the Walking Dead, a total apocalyptic situation from one minute to another. Thanks, Bryan, for being there.
I remember that may 3,1999 and it was a worst tornado outbreaks ever and if people should take storms seriously and don't drive into the tornado or run from the tornado. Please use your tornado shelters or basement Please.
As someone who lives in the middle of tornado alley me and my family are lucky that we get watches and warnings but the place we live hasn’t been hit for the entire time I’ve lived here
That small tornado at the beginning went through my backyard and tore up our fence, turned and ripped the roof off of a target, and then went on to destroy the side of that Chuck E Cheese. At such a young age I was fascinated by storms at that very moment. It was such an amazing thing to see at my age then
I've seen a lot of people becoming shocked when a tornado, let alone a deadly one occurs before or after season (March through August) Tornadoes can happen at any time of the year, no matter where you are or what day is it. The most deadliest tornado that happened recently happened in December and ravaged Kentucky
The people of Washington, Illinois know this because of a tornado that tore through their city on November 17, 2013. I can understand why the residents of Washington were so caught off guard: you really don't expect a tornado to strike in late November. As a result the residents of Washington had gone from being excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas to a sense of heartbreak, misery, and helplessness. To add to their misery it snowed two days after the tornado. It seems to me that Mother Nature was determined to shit on the residents of Washington.
I feel like everybody in OKC should have a shelter, I have family there and it's very concerning. I'll never forget hearing about a tornado crossing the highway on the Bailey Turnpike and my grandmother and another family member got through there just in time and watched the twister cross the highway.
The most dangerous possible tornado would be a rainwrapped, EF5 tornado with 300+ mph winds, in a highly populated city at any time from 12am-2am.
It's a good thing night tornadoes are incredibly rare. Moisture is up, and temps are down, making them difficult to produce.
For sure.
This is exactly why the Greensburg, Kansas tornado was so scary. It happened at night.
So you basically described 99 moore
The Dayton memorial day tornadoes were at night so scary
It's funny, I grew up watching these shows and always laughed when they say "it does sound like a train." An EF2 went right over my tornado shelter a couple years ago and..... it does sound just like a train. It's very distinctive and the immediate thought is 'holy shit that's a tornado.'

So how much are y’all getting paid per advertising comment?
It sounds like a jet and waterfall when it get close..But far away it sounds like a train
Yeah people say it sounds like a train. I've also heard people say it sounds like a jet. Either tornadoes are loud when they are close to you. The monster EF5 you can hear from a mile away and it's still loud but from that distance it sounds like a roar. I don't think I'll ever be in a tornado cause I live in Southeastern Massachusetts where thunderstorms usually die out before they hit my city. Sometimes we do get a real good thunderstorm, probably twice a year. Tornadoes in Massachusetts usually happen out in the Western part where the thunderstorms are really strong. There was a EF2 or EF3 that hit a few towns in Western Massachusetts in 2012 I think or 2011. The tornado did some significant damage to houses, businesses and a really old church. I would like to see a tornado but out in a huge open field where there isn't any homes or live stock. I would just like to experience it once in my lifetime.
We had had so many false warnings, so many that people stopped taking it seriously. My dad was one of the first responders, they made him a deputy and he searched near all night long.
We lost 6 directly in Lone Grove 4 in a trailer that was completely destroyed, 2 driving on the highway at the time. I am quite disappointed with how little is actually in this video.
Other interesting things:
A house was pulled off of a hill where it rolled for 20 yrds and the 80 year old lady that lived there survived because her mattress trapped her against the wall.
The steeple of the biggest church in town was ripped of and thrown through a local bar.
The tornado picked up before it got to the school and touched back down almost immediately afterwards.
There is a tree that is still alive in town that has a 8 square foot piece of sheet metal nearly bisecting it.
The police searched for about 30 min chasing what sounded like a woman screaming in the woods. I am certain that it was the local cougar that was wounded and later died. (no more tracks)

@@csmith563 hey 👋 there I have a question for you have you ever seen a tornado 🌪
In person I’m just wondering ok 👌
Dude lol 😂.
Isn’t it kind of stupid to not take any warning serious considering they live in the most popular spot for tornadoes?
To the man who said "if an EF4 does this kind of damage, I can't imagine what an EF5 would do: ask Joplin.
eydie sanders yez queen
It's not a competition lmao sit down.
Ask Jarrell, TX.
This happened before Joplin tornado
Umm......Oklahoma has WAY more EF5 tornadoes than Missouri does. ( FYI.....2 strongest Tornadoes in the world were in Oklahoma ) So I am pretty sure he knows as much if not more about than you do. SMH
Please, please, put an air horn or really loud whistle in any shelter: don’t depend on being able to open the door without help from someone outside.

The WORST thing you can do with already frightened children is say or scream that “You’re going to die!” They need your support! No matter what the outcome. Swallow your own fear and be that comfort for them they so desperately need.
I just watched that and thought the same thing.
Mothers get scared too you know. They are still human and have human emotions. Don't judge or invalidate a person's fear because you think you can do better.
@@Auburngal03 no way . I don’t agree with you. you’re going to die? maybe let’s pray ! something ? you’re gonna be OK !!!! on the way out comfort them . They WILL remember that. I’m telling you it’s going to be in their subconscious that she said you’re going to die let’s hope they didn’t know what death meant
Totally agree!! I know the woman was scared, but at that moment she needed to Super Mom and keep the little ones calm as possible.
That’s my momma she did the right thing
'we're all going to die! ' ....
That's the way, frighten the life out of your kids. You're the mum, you're meant to be the voice of reason and comfort, your poor kids will be traumatized.
Same thing I was thinking. Comfort the children even if you know you might die.
Sure it scared the kids, but unless you have ridden through the same experience and have first hand experience handling it better then this is all assumptions.
I know about tornadoes, I understand the pain they bring upon people I live in Pratt,Ks lost some friends in the Greensburg tornado.
The thing with shock is that you can’t always conduct yourself in a dignified way. I’m sure she thinks about that moment with shame, but she was honest about it. I’d find that more commendable than someone saying she calmly sat there unaffected. She got her kids to safety. She did good. She’s talking about how she responded. Keyboard Warriors here would probably fly around like Superman and save everyone before calmly meditating in a field. 🙄🙄🙄
@@Calaveras32Spcl They were in a fully cemented underground basement. No one had anything to worry about.
As a person who survived a lot of these storms in their life, my family laughs when i take it seriously. We live around giant ass oak trees all around us, i almost lost my mom because lightning struck one and it nearly crushed her. Im terrified of severe storms, especially at night. Ive had nightmares when the tornadoes were at our back door and it was too late to move. I grew up watching the weather channel closely and storm stories, id go into panic mode when i hear the siren or a severe weather goes off on my phone. Id rather be safe than not. The 2012 outbreak nearly killed us, i dont remember what it was, between f2-f4.
Know exactly how the lady who couldn’t find her shoes felt. Was in the Moore tornado in 2013 and we got the warning so we went to the tornado shelter (which we hadn’t opened in 2 years) and it was so rusted it wouldn’t open. We could see the tornado about a mile away and we knew all we could do is go into the bathroom( not underground) and pray. We were blessed because it barely did any damage in our yard but 2 houses down it was practically leveled.
I could not imagine seeing the tornado coming and not being able to open up the door on your shelter sounds like a scene out of a movie im glad you all made it through ok always a good idea to make sure your shelter is up to date
@@denisemancina9548 honestly it was more mesmerizing and cool until we found out it wouldn’t open. That’s when we got scared. Just think of it like this... if you do the best possible thing for your family and yourself that’s usually going to be good enough.
Don’t y’all have basements???
COMPLETELY P different situation from someone not being able to find some damn shoes, and a storm shelter door not opening because it's rusted shut. To hell with those shoes, why have only one pair anyway?
Need some preventative maintenance on the door, etc.
Always have backpacks shoes you should invest in Football helmets for your kids and yourself your pets blankets n dog crates if you can't transport pets. This all saved our life I remember this Oklahoma Twistersss
We have bicycle helmets we use. They hang in my basement on the laundry room door (my designated safest room). I bought them for less than $4 at a local thrift store.
“Everything was still and I thought uh oh” Truuuue dat, lady!
Me and my family had a tornado 🌪 warning ⚠️ when we had a real actual tornado 🌪 warning ⚠️ I had to pee during the tornado that struck Ohio I was scared. For my life I had to pee during the tornado shelter. In my basement but I love ❤️ tornadoes Videos Thaink you for making storm ⛈ story I love storm stories. Who ever made these storm stories
I feel your frustration I live in Pratt,Ks tornadoes are bad.
Kyle Bailey I live in Ohio But I am actually from Dayton Ohio but I was adopted by my parents hope. 🤞 you have a great 👍 day
Rory West i 🤟 speak 👄 emojis 😊 what 🤔 about 😌you🧑? 💭
Hence the saying the calm before the storm
I haven't watched Storm Stories or TWC since 2003 or 2004. Cool to see this series still exists and to see Jim Cantore still does it. Lol
Jim Gardner is one of if not possibly the best ever! He should be given credit for saving many many lives in Oklahoma. I have a lot of respect for him. Met him at a small town event that was held for kids to get up close with fire trucks, police cars and he was there with his helicopter. He was so good with all the kids. I know he made my son's day.
I got to see this Tornado from the Air traffic contol tower in Ardmore airpark. It was amazing. Lone Grove will never be forgotten.
I lived through 2 EF5 tornadoes in Oklahoma
Peyton Morris goodness!! 😩 I moved to S FL and only lasted three months because of the weather. I could never get used to fleeing hurricanes. Continued blessings and lots of protection to you and your family
Lemme guess. Moore OK?
@@Watso75e you got that right
@@peytonmorris1499 what was it like? I've always found the moore OK, tornados to be the most interesting, but also scary, and I'd love to know your experience.
@@bailey4064 i just remember the Moore tornado in 2013. I was 20 and was driving home and the clouds looked funny and i immediately knew that there was a tornado coming down. So i got home and went down into my basement and i heard a sound of a frieght train and it got closer and closer and finally it was there. I was praying for me and my family and the next thing i knew it was over. So i opened my basement door and i didnt see my roof. So im like the tornado just destroyed my house. And i couldnt believe what i saw. So i immediately checked on my neighbors and they were all fine so i text my parents and they wefe ok.
Literally every state says that.. "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute"
Mikey paul , but Will Rogers said it first.
@@marthashipp8294 well I'm from Oklahoma. So I hear it all the time. But it's true that all states think it's their saying. But actually mark twain said it 1st and it was about new England. So.....
Mikey paul I was going to say same thing
Thats texas
I don’t think they say that in Arizona
I an terrified of storms yet I still find myself watching these types of videos
Ikrrrr
Same
Well, it’s good to watch these. They will help you not freeze should you end up in one of these scenarios.
Same
me to lol
Okay.... I’m not judging to harshly. I can’t imagine living through tornadoes like that. In Canada we have them but not like a brothers to the south. However, I can’t imagine screaming to my children “ we are all going to die! “ like talk about making it more traumatic for your kids.
I know it’s not easy to hold it together in a terrifying situation but I just felt really uncomfortable as a mom hearing another mom screaming “we are going to die” at your children like wow lady.
How about the lady, who couldn't find her shoes! haha
Hey, I’m Canadian to, but put yourself in her shoes for a moment, she was panicking out of her mind because a potential killer tornado was about to go over her and her children. It’s easy to say that what she said was wrong after the fact, but when you’re living it, it’s a totally different story
@@williamcote4208I live in a state that gets tornadoes, I’ve had to go into my basement with my kids multiple times… and I couldn’t imagine saying that 😬😬 I came to the comments seeing if anyone else had the same thought I did, yikes to that mom.
I'm not a parent but it can't be easy keeping calm when you have a twister eating your house above your head.
Still I do have to agree with everyone saying her words weren't helping the poor kid.
I like watching Storm Stories. I used to watch them all the time. I'm glad I can watch some episodes on You Tube. Thanks for the uploads.
6:50 Seriously?! I understand how you might think that, but what kind of mother says that out loud in front of her terrified little children??? It's like she wanted her children to be as terrified and traumatized as possible.
It’s shocking how many people don’t have a shelter in Oklahoma!!
Or how when destroyed schools are rebuilt, there are no shelters added.
The soil is reddish clay. It doesn't drain. It is ridiculous expensive to build a basement. Since the 1993 and 2013 EF5's, many have purchased safe rooms but yes, many still lack any shelter.
@@cmerton Tornado pod type shelters (cylindrical steel, 4 person) can be trucked in and installed relatively cheaply on a concrete slab. When a large, potentially violent tornado is approaching, some TV meteorologists and chasers keep telling people to "get underground" when they should be saying get to shelter... they give people the idea that above the ground shelters are inadequate, so they don't end up buying any kind of shelter. Purpose-built above ground shelters have performed very well when hit by actual tornadoes, including violent ones.
“I’m just glad I have my mom. Everything else is just material.”
Well said.
Hey 👋 there I got to see a funnel cloud ☁️ spinning near my house 🏡 lol 😂
Dude but the tornado 🌪 did not touch the ground dude.
I live in the western edge of Texas and although I've experience a couple of tornado warnings, it has never actually happened. I'm glad of my town's geographic location.
No. This is the wrong idea to have. You still absolutely live in a tornado prone area, and just because one hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will. This type of thinking will get you killed. Always follow precautions and stay weather aware
@@daisyredding2413 yeah that's true but its not as prone as say the Dallas-Fort Worth area or the Houston area, where its more common than in El Paso (where I live)
You know that, it's a lot like with people in Joplin said
rage storms it’s more of a desert out there. Places that are flat or the east coast have a greater chance developing a EF5 tornado than places in a desert. Joplin is in tornado alley.
I live in Michigan, we don't get tornadoes often but we occasionally get a F0- F1. And in the town I'm in usually doesn't get the worst of the storms. Almost like we're in a bubble, but I usually take tornado warnings seriously, I watch the sky and the weather on TV. My mom and brothers laugh at me and say we're not gonna get anything. I'm like one day we will and you will regret saying that.
The mother in this story was understandably panicking. I'm sure she regrets saying, in front of her children that they were all going to die. We all are imperfect at times. She deserves understanding, not ridicule.
No she doesn't even of she's panicking she needs to be calm for her kids kids pay attention to what their parents are reacting and react the same way
That’s my mom and she was panicking what do you expect
I agree people need stop attacking her
@@drakeleblanc5883 you're mom did good
People don’t take into consideration the actual emotions someone would be feeling I mean I can’t even imagine the terror she must’ve felt. The fact that she was able to drive and get her children into the house is super brave. I wish people were able to acknowledge that. She most likely does regret it. She’s so brave and her panicking is completely understandable.
You know that the Joplin tornado took just 15 seconds to fully develop into a EF3 to EF5
It's funny, I say I'm a grown man who played ice hockey for almost 31 years of my 31 year life and I feel like I can take a beating and keep going. So to think I could die in a tornado that hits my home makes me laugh. But then you see documentaries like this. You can be as tough as Brock Lesnar and as quick as Hussein Bolt, but you can't stop a 3,000 pound vehicle from smashing into you.
I have been through a few tornadoes in northeastern Oklahoma. The first when I was 6. I've been through traumatic events. But it's hard to top that of a tornado. Mother nature at its angriest in smaller area for sure.
Great observation, hockey king.
I used to live in Ardmore, Oklahoma. I moved in 2007, thankfully, so I never witnessed any historically horrible weather.
I survived May 22 2019 tornado outbreak. That day was terrible
@@neonflashsparkotron5435 Well, despite the hardships of that day, you made it through, so here you are now. Much love, friend, and my condolences for all that you might've lost that day.
You know tornado 🌪 can come without any warning ⚠️ I hope 🤞 you have a great 👍 day
I only know about Ardmore, Oklahoma because it's the hometown of Rue McClanahan.
I never thought I would see my little town in Oklahoma on UA-cam on that tornado it almost got our house but didn’t cross the highway
These people need to take these storms way more seriously. Always have a plan!! Stay weather aware!
So standing outside shouting at the tornado to go away doesn't work??? Who would've ever thought?🤔😏
@@wadewilson8011Ironically enough, I’ve seen a video of a Canadian tornado filmed by a family and when the kid said “Go away mister tornado”, I kid you not, the tornado veered away from them.
Apparently praying to God is enough
Wait did she say she was in the shelter screaming at her kids their all going to die....Well dam mom what a protector you were🤦🏽♀️
Imagine if her husband was private William Hudson from the aliens movie
GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER
poor kids would of had a heart attack with the 2 adults losing their shit.
I was thinking the same thing. Even if a storm is there and it looks deadly, let your kids know it's going to be okay even if you're lying.
Jaque you been in that situation before? If not I suggest you not talk. It's easy to say what you would or would not have done until you are in a situation like that. We lost our house in the 2013 Moore tornado and until you are in a situation like that it's impossible to say exactly how you would react.
Unless you have been in this situation, maybe STFU
I’ve been in a tornado, though it was weak since tornadoes are rare where is live, it didn’t directly hit my house but it was close to my friend’s house who lives close to me and though my mom was saying it would be okay I was still freaking out because my dog wouldn’t go down the steps to the basement
I live in Maryland and five years ago when I was a senior in High School it was February 19, 2014 and we had a tornado warning and we had to take cover in the hall ways. If you think a tornado warning in OKC is rare in February think about Maryland xd
In 2011, there was the Joplin Tornado when I was born in May. Crazy, my Dad was stunned, it was when I was in the hospital and it a few miles from the hospital and they were ready to move me and Mom to the hallway, if needed. My Dad stayed. I’m thankful that my Dad is here.
Rest In Peace Mom.❤❤
I was born during a blizzard lol but I can't imagine finding out what you just described. My mom died a few years ago too so I'm very sorry to read this 😢
Im hyped this town is 5 minutes away from mine. And its one weather channel. Lets go lol
In hindsight that lady was thinking "damn I probably shouldn't have been screaming that we were all gonna die in front of all my kids" 😂
I know right? Like wtf woman. Mother of the year right there.
@@yelhsa._. lmfao that’s my mom and she’s is mother of the year
Somethin' *WRONG* wit huh. #Icamehereforthiscomment
Lisa seems like such a sweetheart with her ferret and fur babies ❤️❤️❤️
The problem people are facing is these days is what I call the "Used to bad weather effect"
People become so normalized to bad weather in tornado alley or in Dixie alley that they ignore warnings, then when one of these tornadoes hits its hell on Earth for people who refuse to listen to warnings. They end up trapped or corned in place, & severely hurt.
If you receive any kind of Tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning take it seriously. I'm a SKYWARN storm chaser & am the reason these warnings get issued. When I give warning to the National Weather Service, they verify my CallSign, I send them proof of a tornado or severe indicators, then they immediately trigger the EAS (emergency alert system) warnings through your own phones, radios, & tv stations within 2 minutes.
When people are hurt, it makes me think I failed to warn people. No matter how many times you deal with severe weather, listen to the warnings please!!
If you have a tornado shelter, keep an air horn or jack with you in case that door won't open.
I remember watching David Payne on TV that May 3rd. Being that close to the tornado was pretty brave. I lived in Southeast New York State at that time and I was at a pizza parlor and they had a TV above the counter. All the customers and employees just clustered around the TV. We were just shell shocked.
I remember this. The sirens in OKC and Moore went off. Everyone took shelter. Everyone learned it was in Ardmore, and it hadn't come close to Moore.
I sure hope the Leblanc Littles don't remember Mommy screaming "We're all going to die!" 😳
I have so much respect for firefighters!!! They are the true heroes. I have seen so many video's of car crashes etc and it is the fire dept that does the search and rescue in bad car accidents too.
6:49 Screaming “Were all going to die!” probably didn’t comfort those terrified kids.
I was in high school when this one happened. I remember coming home and seeing the news we get to calling family they are from Oklahoma and made sure everyone was okay
A lady in a storm shelter tells her kids we're all going to die. Really?!
They thought the storm system was done only for it to spit out an EF4 wedge in the middle of the night
@12:54 why does she look like a younger aunt meg from twister to me?
Here in Oklahoma when putting in cellars or basements you must trench a large deep area around it to make way for ground water to flow away & not into basements & cellars. It adds a tremendous cost in addition to original cost of the construction.
“Steve franks” yeah right! That’s Vernon Dursley
They didn't even know during this video filming that May 3rd was gona happen again 4 years later
I'm from Lone Grove and I remember this. I was in College in Dallas at the time. But I remember coming down and seeing all the damage. Fortunately my mom's house wasn't hit but the damage all around was intense. I don't remember tornados in previous years causing so much damage.
in1967 we hadA January tornado in St. Louis after dark before bedtime. I remember all that day it was stifling and hot
for the middle of winter and the next day it was bitterly cold and snowing. The only other one I experienced was a vicious
pre dawn tornado in February in extreme Southern Illinois that hit Harrisburg. Same hot day and 50 degree temp. drop cold front collide.
My family lived about a quarter mile from where the Pack family lived. My brother and my father along with myself stood on the back porch looking SW at the tornado moving our direction and could see the darkness of the tornado which was much more darker than the darkness of the tree line. Our home was spared but so many of our nearby neighbors lost everything.
I can’t help but be angry at Brenda for not going to the shelter when she was asked to. She was lucky to be alive
When my grandfather was going up on a farm with 8 brothers and 4 sisters in Iowa and they were out in the fields and a tornado was coming, he said they knew where every culvert was under the roads. They would run like crazy to get in them, water and all. They would huddle in the middle until the tornado blew through. No one was ever lost. The women at the house had an underground storm cellar. Wow!
5:18 the date says April 2nd 2009 and the tornado occurred in Feb 2009 lol
That may have been the tornado that started in my backyard. Though all I remember was it was in February in 2009 so that’s vague
May have just been an error. Some systems put the date before the month..and in that case it was a day off.
That could have just been part of the reenactment. As you can tell most of this was filmed after the tornado and maybe she didnt have the text anymore so they had her type a similar message to what she received.
I was in the Lone Grove tornado. My daughter and I were very lucky. Scariest night of my life.
I bet that was very scary. Glad y'all made it.
I was inside the old video store when it hit destroyed both buildings on each side of us
That whole supercell started in my old backyard. Rockwell and nwe
keiondre smith OMG that’s even closer than I was!

Yeah. Way to keep your kids calm, lady.
I remember this it hit right across the street from my house (I live in Edmond)
In 1996 the movie Twister came out.
Hope everyone,that was injured had a full recovery. May all the people that passed live in there loved ones hearts,may they rest in peace.

What would you do if the tornado 🌪 warning ⚠️ in your Aera I’m just wondering ok 👌
My grandfather grew up on the farm in Iowa. He said they knew where every storm drain to take cover in case of a tornado. They be in the fields all day. It was the difference between life and death, as long as you could reach them. 12 BIG BOYS CRAMING INTO THEM. BUT NOW ONE WAS HURT. THE WOMEN HAD THE ROOT cellar to take coverer in with the dogs!
I am so irritated with the woman that could not find her shoes. You and your husband had been watching tornadoes all day long and at the last minute you mean to tell me that you can't find your shoes. So aggravating
We say that a lot here in Alberta too. "Don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes."
I remember hearing about this tornado on the news and it happened on my 16th birthday.
36 dead 💀 Rest In Peace. People who died during the tornado 🌪
I’m in an area in Tennessee where only tornados get close it’s very rare for a tornado to tear through my town but I LOVE TORNADOS

Jim Gardner is gangster...hands down top notch whirlly bird pilot
I can't comprehend the totality of bad decisions made by the people in this video. Stopping to get a dog with your kids in the car and a tornado barreling down, leaving your wife in the house, and on and on. Living in the area 30 years and going through a few tornados I don't get it.
This is the reason why basements and storm shelters are must if you buy a house you gotta make sure you have one
these shows are always so helpful for telling people how to deal with dangerous storms
"Don't be a Brenda"
The way I see it, any tornado that takes out a Chuck E Cheese is doing a cultural good deed!
If you are in a basement in an tornado be under a workbench or the stairs or just something that is sturdy that can withstand debris crashing down.
Poor kids: "Mommy are we going to be ok?🥺"
This chick: "NO! WE'RE ABOUT TO DIEEE!😱"
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
12:04 Wow, lady, have a little perspective and get your priorities straight. What's worse dying in a tornado or going outside barefoot? I mean seriously!
Reminds me of the April 2012 Dallas, TX tornado outbreak
I live in dallas
My friend got thrown off of the highway that night, with her baby in her car. They both died on impact 😭
I keep hearing these people as they are sheltered in basements or storm shelters saying things like......."I thought I was going to die." or "I didn't think I would make it." This confuses me. How many people have died while in their basement or storm shelter? I can't imagine that number being very high at all.
Just last night somebody was killed in their basement in Alabama when a tornado dropped a tree on the home and it fell all the way down into the basement and crushed them. It's rare but it can happen.
@@KermitTheGamer21 People have died on roller coasters. Yet people still ride them all the time. And when they get off the ride they aren't sitting there saying things like... "OMG, you know how close to death we just came? I was praying that we would make it back alive." No they don't because its extremely rare for accidents like that to happen. So that's my point. It's so rare that they would be hurt while in a shelter, so why do they come out all traumatized and thinking they were so close to death? Now granted, the roller coaster thing isn't a perfect analogy. I realize that there is death and destruction going on all around people who are in shelters while a tornado tears thru their area. But their worry is misplaced. They should be coming out of the shelter saying things like....."I was so worried about my neighbors and family that live near by. I prayed that they would all be OK."
People do die in basements. I haven't heard about anybody dying in a storm shelter. In the Alabama 1998 tornado, nine people in basements died.
People get sucked out or you lose the ceiling of the basement and stuff falls on you (like a pickup truck). I remember reading about a woman and her children in the 1974 tornado outbreak who pushed a table against the basement wall and gathered her children around her. Most of her children survived but she and the one she was holding got crushed to death.
So while it is not common (44% of people die in mobile homes) it happens often enough that I would be afraid. And I live in the mountains of Maryland.
@@ellasmommy9278 "People do die in basements"
I never claimed they didn't.
Also, the 9 who died in basements, was this 9 different basements or was this just 1 or 2 basements with many people in them?
I’m glad the Tornado didn’t blow Steve’s hat away
I been in a Tornado it's theeee most scariest thing to ever go though you don't live if you live or die or get hurt I hope I never go in one again
I actually haven't heard of this tornado but I feel sorry for anyone who went thru a tornado
I went through one February 2008 an F4 hit a mile from my trailer almost 6 years old & killed 2 & isn't known due to the rural area I lived in

Ferrets are cute
I’m am glad that her kids are ok 👌 during the tornado 🌪 I love ❤️ tornadoes and I love 💕 storm ⛈ stories
You love tornadoes?!🤔🙄
Don’t worry we made it out safe I just found out about this video I was 3 when I was filmed and now I’m 16
I live 10 minutes away from where the tornado hit.
She was screaming “we’re going to die” in front of her kids???
I love ❤️ all of your storm ⛈ stories about tornadoes 🌪 dude rip for those people who lost there lives during the Oklahoma City tornado warning ⚠️. 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Why would that lady say she was screaming, "we're all going to die!" and her kids are there??? WTF?!?!
surely not
*surely yes*
1.) If you SAW the tornado when you're already at a house picking up a dog, why would you spend more time going to your own house, when you can go into the house you are already at and take shelter?! Not even going to talk about the "we're all going to die" thing lol
2.) Trailer park woman, I hope that taught you to listen to your daughter when she tells you to take shelter!
Make a good first point, another is I think if I had four kids in the car I would worry more about them getting to shelter immediately with a tornado so close, not getting a neighbors dog, sorry to dog lovers!
I thought the trailer park girl was actually very smart with making so much noise though
I live in Virginia and the area I live in was under a tornado watch just 4 days ago.
I would have left the shoes.
Would you rather walk out of the shelter, walking on broken down stuff with bare feet or take a second to grab a shoe and run. (Like not putting on them.)
The fact that it said 10 minutes until 7 and as soon as it said that, I looked at the time on my phone and it was 649 I was like omg impossible
Bryan is considered family to me, although we have never met. Staying up all night with us and being so calm while we were going through the worst situations imaginable in Country Walk. I almost got blown out of a sliding glass door, and we went into an inside area of the home. That is when we heard you say to take a mattress and go into your bathtub. It was me and two of my neighbors inside a roman tub with a mattress on top of us, and we held on for dear life! The roof blew off a bit but then slammed back into the home. The sliding glass door glass seemed to be alive. They would move in and out with the wind, and at the moment, I was mesmerized to be seeing this. It seemed like they were breathing. The sliding glass door finally shattered when what seemed like a freight train crashed into the home, with the howls of animals hellbent on killing us all coming through the shattered windows. I was actually surprised that although barefoot, when the sliding glass shattered it was in square shaped pieces, i walked on it and I wasn't cut at all. I had a tiny battery-powered tv in the roman tub, and we could only see Bryan there while we were in tears and screaming for it to stop. My neighbor lewis and I had to leave the roman tub because the front door blew open, we nailed it shut with a yard bench we stored inside but not before a gust of wind tossed me on the roof and I broke the top of the roof inner wall and passed out on the floor. Then it started getting quiet, and we were saying it was over. We took the wood off the front door and came outside, and you could see the most beautiful sky and birds flying. We started screaming to other neighbors to see if they were ok, and we were all crying, laughing it was over, it wasn't over, we were in the eye of the hurricane and we were not informed enough to know it, those winds came back so quickly we barely made it back in the house and secured the door again and ran to the roman tub. We again made that roman tub our sanctuary it was big enough for all three of us under a mattress. When we came out, it was a different world. It was like an episode of the Walking Dead, a total apocalyptic situation from one minute to another. Thanks, Bryan, for being there.
Some of these comments are so mean. Why ya'll gotta act that way?
I agree! Does living in tornado country make them so callous?
I'd rather be strong and callous, then whiney and weak like you two.
comfortouch I think you just proved their point
comfortouch translation: I would rather be an asshole than a decent human being.
The owner of this channel really should take off the mean comments.
I remember that may 3,1999 and it was a worst tornado outbreaks ever and if people should take storms seriously and don't drive into the tornado or run from the tornado. Please use your tornado shelters or basement Please.
As someone who lives in the middle of tornado alley me and my family are lucky that we get watches and warnings but the place we live hasn’t been hit for the entire time I’ve lived here
That small tornado at the beginning went through my backyard and tore up our fence, turned and ripped the roof off of a target, and then went on to destroy the side of that Chuck E Cheese. At such a young age I was fascinated by storms at that very moment. It was such an amazing thing to see at my age then
I've seen a lot of people becoming shocked when a tornado, let alone a deadly one occurs before or after season (March through August)
Tornadoes can happen at any time of the year, no matter where you are or what day is it.
The most deadliest tornado that happened recently happened in December and ravaged Kentucky
The people of Washington, Illinois know this because of a tornado that tore through their city on November 17, 2013. I can understand why the residents of Washington were so caught off guard: you really don't expect a tornado to strike in late November. As a result the residents of Washington had gone from being excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas to a sense of heartbreak, misery, and helplessness. To add to their misery it snowed two days after the tornado. It seems to me that Mother Nature was determined to shit on the residents of Washington.
