As a long distance delivery driver I have been through many blizzards in North Dakota. And then I experienced my first encounter with a tornado and I can tell you this,I will go through a blizzard any day but I am terrified of tornadoes!
I live in New York. I also will take on a blizzard before a tornado. I find tornados beautiful. But I will never be comfortable enough to want to experience one.
Yes, blizzard over tornado anyday! Although hurricanes...tornados and hurricanes I am pretty equally afraid of. I still think a tornado terrifies me more though, especially since we've had more here the last few years and we aren't supposed to get any (bucks County Pa, close to Philly and NJ and surrounding me about 8 tornadoes have come the last few years. I don't blame it on clate change though. I 💯% blame it on weather control and I've done the research to find the inconsistency's from natural weather to controlled weather. There is this man that has radars and yet also measures the metals in the air..he has about 6 or so maps that the radar measures different things.. the regular ones and ones following "controlled clouds/"contrails" (chemtrails) as well as the metals in the air and besides those other ways that we control the weather, and the more humans do the worse it gets. Weather isn't even the same as when I was a baby to around 19-20ish. That's when I started looking up and seeing changes. I noticed it before I even new a thing about it. Until one day I finay remembered my dad teaching me about con and chem trails and telling me the difference. He was born in 1945 Germany and worked as an air traffic controller, and he hubg out and drank with a lot of Russians and Germans and other foreigners that worked for military's and they along with his higher ups told him about a huge building where they were keeoigf all the chemicals for chemtrails and other biohazard is materials they were using on the population (including there own, everywhere). I was very young web my dad told me about this. Around 6-8 is my best guess. We were flying a kite and there were fighter pilots in the sky doif there dancibg in the sky thing (sorry I have brain fog and I'm terrible at remembering names and terms) but after one went away, the other made some contrails. That's when he told me to look out for strange clouds and told me the difference. These ones go away, chemtrails don't and rain would come shortly after then and for 3 days during and after the rain is web those metals are coming down. Nobody is safe from them except the wealthy or if you are lucky enough to live in an rich area, but een so they are effecting the earth and everything on it. They also effect something called black goo, that is connected to morgellons. I wish my dad was alive so I could have more conversations with him about it all. I did eventually look up what that building was and it does exist and it was near the airport my dad worked at. Even though it was IN Germany, it was mostly owned by the united states and I believe the united nations/NATO were involved. I wish I could share more info, but you all probably believe I'm crazy as is 😂 I don't talk about these things often because when I used to say things I knew were coming aroud 6yrs ago, I started being targeted and harrassed. It was really scary and I have kids, so I only talk randomly a few times a year in comment sections like this. I guess just to get it off my chest. I miss my dad and he would hate to see what's been happening in the world.
I'm so terrified of natural disasters, they fascinate me at the same time, especially tornados. Idk why, I get all tingly from the mix of these feelings when I watch stuff like this.
I am with you on that. My stomach gets tight and queezy, heart races and throbs in my head. I've taken my blood pressure and noticed it elevates along with my pulse even for a short time after the video is finished.
I live in a place were we have 0 natural distasters. In the middle of a tectonic plate, no risk for huge storms bcs the geography. No big predators, we had like 3 wolves idk if they are left. The worst after that is fox & peoples housecats 😅 Peace, social sequrity, childcare, democracy & free world class education, even UNI is free.. so no huge student debts. Homelessness is really low bcs we do housing first as a policy. And free healthcare no matter your income. Unions & labour laws are really strong..... i would never set my foot in the US
I have lived in Tornado prone states all of my life and have had at least two pass directly over my head, and several more close enough to have my ears pop. In most cases the tornadoes were leap frogging their way to where they were going. The amount of power a tornado has is difficult for someone who has not experienced it to appreciate. The first was when I was a child, and I remember hearing huge trees in my yard breaking like matchsticks as it jumped our house. We had twenty tall trees broken in half, all slightly above rooftop level , in about 2 seconds and then the tornado moved on. The second time was even quicker and sounded like a train or truck drove over us. It jumped my place and totally destroyed the adjacent apartment, which literally looked like a washing machine after the spin cycle was used. In most cases you hear the tornado getting close. You feel it in your ears and the barometer. Windows pop and break. However, once it is upon you, it happens so fast that you really have no time to react once it is on you. You are TOTALLY helpless, so the best thing you can do is just wait for it to pass, which is incredibly quick in most instances.
Yes there IS F5(now EF), but yes there are f5, and they are killers.I've been my share even though I live in New England where they are rare.I watched an EF5 being Born in a paking lot, an EF3 forming in back of a store I just left,going into Worcester, Massachusetts July31st I saw an EF4, and an EF1 at the same time, few years ago,Webster Massachusetts we ad 4, one of those 4 was an EF3, and took down 3 buildings, later in the afternoon another one formed, but it was weak, so all it did was ri off some signs advertising businesses. For the last two years all of New England has been under a tornado warning. But like everything you get so many,and nothing happens you kind get Oh it won't happen here, until it does!
*Will NEVER FORGET the onslaught of tornadoes which composed of about roughly 75-76 vortexes' of December 10-11 of 2021 overnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
I'm always amazed no one reports on the Atlanta Tornado that hit downtown. One of the tallest hotels in the US moved 6 feet on i'ts base when the tornado hit it. Downtown was closed for quite a bit as pieces of windows were falling on the streets and sidewalks. You would stand there and a piece of glass would hit your head. Part of the roof was pulled off during the final 4 basketball games.
I stay at the Westin frequently and was horrified when that tornado hit. Thankfully it was not while I was staying there, but I was scared for the staff and the people who were there. That said, the westin provides glorious views of storms rolling in. I just hope none of them contain another tornado.
I think the only issue I have with those tornado simulators (and honestly other similarly geared disaster simulators) is that they don't take into account the difference between just wind (or water, etc) hitting an object. The second a tornado touches down, it's now blowing dirt, rocks, twigs, branches, etc. When those tiny projectiles hit a surface, it can and will cause more damage than just the wind it hitting it. When a simulator takes dirt, rocks, and other debris into account, I feel they'll be far more accurate and realistic in simulating damage.
That's a big issue with programming and part of the reason it takes so much just to render these simulations. Each material has it's own hardness, elasticity, durability, mounting, abrasion resistance. All of that has to be taken into account for both objects the hitter and the object being hit, including sharpness as well as things like glass which are hard, but incredibly weak to any form of puncturing. Then do that not just for millions of particles, not even billion, but trillions and trillions. How do you code that, and make it actually process fast enough to be useful information?
@adam cooper true. I just feel that even a half hearted attempt to include some form of projectiles at all would be better than none. As Ron White said: its not -that- the wind is blowin'. It's -what- the wind is blowin'.
@@ArcherJadephoenix I’ll add onto this discussion, 3D tools such as Blender are becoming more and more capable over time. Blender for example, can currently handle a pretty incredible amount of 3D objects with physics (over a million at least, but with some constraints)… and for as long as computer hardware continues to improve so will the functional realism of such physics based simulation. The next great game changer for 3D apps like Blender would be integrating AI-based object generation/creation tools so thatit can create the millions, billions, and trillions of unique objects it would take to accurately simulate a home with thousands of shingles, wood splinters, belongings, furniture, etc.
that and as the wind gets inside and rips larger debris the destructive power escalates provided it can keep it in the circulation which so far does not seem to be an issue
@@riverdaugherty The deadliest tornado in world history was the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989 Yes it was. It is documented and certified as the deadliest. Stop spreading misinformation.
Joplin Tornado from 2011. I lived 45 miles away when it happen and I went through the city a week after while traveling to Oklahoma. It looked like a battlefield after a war has passed through with unyielding destruction in every direction you look.
@@kibblesmcknob617 The reason the Joplin and Greensburg Tornadoes were not listed is that this is a program from the mid 2000s. Those tornadoes came after this was originally made. The giveaway is that the video still references the F Scale for tornadoes. Now we go by the EF Scale (or Enhanced Fujita Scale).
Don't actually know which city they actually considered it in but a tornado hit around Lancaster, TX in 2012. It literally picked up tractor trailers out of the Schnieder Yard and tossed those trucks & trailers in the air like they were cardboard. Scary stuff.
I live in Oklahoma. I remember the Moore, OK, tornado. It was horrifying. I had family that lived through it. Back in the 1990s there was an F4 tornado that passed about 5 miles to the south of my home. It literally scoured homes off their concrete slabs. There was absolutely nothing left but the slab, not even debris. I remember that a school bus was found 6 miles from where it had been and was crushed into a ball. About 3 years ago a small, probably F0 tornado actually hit my home. Thankfully it did not damage the home, but it did break some limbs off some trees. Tornadoes are not my cup of tea.
@@ImagineGTAVI I don't think most people want to live underground, and it's a lot more expensive. I've lived here 32 years. I've never heard of an underground home. They may be here, but I have never heard of them.
My Mother grew up in what is referred to as Tornado Alley. She told stories about the horrors she and her family suffered through. Fortunately, I have settled with my family in a locale that doesn't have natural disasters. When watching these videos, I always feel for all of the humans and animals that are killed in these tornados....RIP.🙏
@@ingridakerblom7577 I always wonder why people choose to live in a flood plane or where Hurricanes and Tornadoes happen. Some say because their extended family is their or maybe they are too poor to make a move. 😥.
@@qweenjeans8 i understand that everyone can't move.. but in the US people still buy houses in areas with huge risk of flooding. When that happen people just rebuild in the same place with taxmoney, it floods again & again taxmoney is used to rebuild in the same place we know it will happen again. Se level is rising but people still build & buy houses in areas that are known to be an issue/under water soon.. muricans are stubborn with being stupid..
@@samtmh7240 Of course, there are always natural weather conditions in and around where I live. As you state....wind, rain, fire, fog, snow or earthquakes, etc, are present from time to time. However, none of which have become 'natural disasters' where I live. The definition of the word 'disaster' implies terrible destruction and loss of life. We just don't suffer terrible destruction and loss of life here from natural earth and weather conditions. 😊
You'd honestly think that if one was going to live in tornado alley, they'd make sure their home was closer to and partially in the ground with a rounded/angled roof to deal with strong winds.
Most people have underground storm shelters.. atleast those that can afford them. But many of the mobile home communities have community shelters underground. But yeah I agree if you live there you need to be prepared.
Not everyone can afford to build a concrete home or a mostly in ground home... even then if your house is solid concrete, you have no guarantee. Tornados rip right through that material as well. Yes ideally, you would want a "underground house"... BUT, there are practically zero hills to build one into out there. So just imagine the amount of excavation you'd have to do in order to build even a simple 3 bed 2 bath home in ground that wasn't even that big...
@Anibus Pup: I've thought about exactly what you're thinking. A steel re-enforced concrete dome, partially underground, would by far be the safest structure in tornado/hurricane prone areas.
@@nerblebun yeah that would cost you no less than $500K if you went with a very small one. If you wanted a decent 3 bed/2 bath home you'd be looking at anywhere from $1.5-2 million!
Tornado Alley has expanded well into Arkansas. When I moved from Calif. to Arkansas 16 years ago, I wouldn't even look at a house to buy unless it had a tornado shelter. In 2011 my rural town of 9,878 residence was hit by 2 tornadoes on the same night. We could clearly hear the F-3 funnel travel directly over the house (It DOES sound like a Freight Train), then touch down on the next street over (Complete Devastation) while my son, granddaughter, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and myself were safely underground in our steel re-enforced concrete bunker 5 ft. from the backdoor. Last nights sever thunderstorm produced 5 tornadoes on the ground at the same time in NW Arkansas. One was 7 miles north of my location.🏴☠
I was born & raised the first 19yrs of my life in NW Arkansas. I grew up hearing about & being around tornadoes. The fact that people don't include Missouri & Arkansas in tornado alley always irritates me.
@@lulabelle5452: You're 100% correct Lisa. Arkansas isn't mentioned by anyone for any reason unless something truly extraordinary happens. Even then it's only reported on local news. Over a decade ago we had 62 tornadoes on the ground at the same time, including the two that hit my rural town of Clarksville on the same night, and one that zig-zagged hither & yon across the state, on the ground, for almost 400 miles....in January! Approx 30 little podunk communities, populations 200 or less, were wiped off the face of the earth. Yet not a word reported by National News. It's mind boggling.
I reside in Oklahoma. I vividly recall the Moore, OK, tornado - it was a nightmare. My family experienced it firsthand. In the 1990s, an F4 tornado passed just 5 miles south of my house. It stripped houses from their foundations, leaving only bare slabs. Even debris was nonexistent. A school bus was found 6 miles away, crushed into a ball. Around 3 years ago, a small, probably F0 tornado grazed my home. Thankfully, it spared the house but snapped some tree limbs. Tornadoes are not something I want to deal with
I was in sixth grade in 1989 when a tornado skipped and hopped through my neighborhood, sat down at the Redstone Arsenal, and took off as an F4 in the middle of Huntsville rush hour. A major tornado in a city like Dallas would be beyond devastating.
@@Holtyyy I’m just now seeing your comment…I watched that happen on the news while I was at work. It was very surreal to see places I’d lived in (I also once lived 30 mins South of Tuscaloosa) being pounded by that storm system. I can’t imagine what it was like on the ground.
I was on the 400 block of North Main Street working as a courier on March 28, of 2000 when an F0-F2 tornado walked straight into downtown Ft Worth, Tx. It was surreal. I've always been fascinated by tornados and had always wanted to see one, but not so close up. I was peeking around the corner of the building where I was to view it; peeking around to see it but not be seen BY it more accurately. It had just hit head on an office building, and a gentleman near me stated, "Wow! Look at all the shingles it picked up!" I informed him that it was just leaving the Cash America building and was taking its 8 x 8 thick glass windows with it. I can't imagine the devastation as a result of being struck with a hunk of glass weighing a few hundred pounds. But there they were, just floating around, circling the vortex like horses on a carousel. A coworker of mine happened to be smack dab in the middle of downtown, not four blocks away like I was. He ducked into a parking garage lobby just in time to turn around and see the tip of the twister that was actually making contact with the street. He said it was about maybe 2 feet across, essentially a point, but whizzing around like a top, and moreover, effortlessly tossing cars and trucks that were parked on the street around like a bipolar child taking his anger out on his Tonkas. I guess I can scratch seeing one of these bad boys live off my bucket list
Y'all realize that Missouri, Arkansas, & Louisiana are part of tornado alley too right? Born & raised in Arkansas & saw & heard stories of several in my 19yrs there.
FYI, the updraft in the storm pulls the horizontally rotating column of air UP from the ground....making it vertical and creating the tornado. Also...tornadoes are rated using the EF scale, or Enhanced Fujita scale. The F scale stopped being used in 2007.
So glad Jarrell was included. It may not have caused the most destruction, but as far as the landscape it came in contact with, it caused the greatest "quality" of destruction ever, no tornado comes anywhere close. As a rope it was already spinning so fast it became transparent (I don't think I've ever seen that with any other tornado). The thing was a freak of nature. We can only hope it remains unmatched.
yes has alot to do with fact it moved very slow 15mph. But smithville Mississippi ef5 is very under rated this tornado hands down my opinion would got Jarrell beat this smithville did stuff same I not worse and moved thru 4 times faster than Jarrell. imagine it moved slow like Jarrell? This tornado literally dug 2 ft into ground it took a ford explorer threw it into the water tower there still a dent today to prove it and than it went another 100 yards after hit tower. It also took a double wide mobile home threw in 300 yards without hitting ground and when hit ground it rolled 100 more yards. They said it threw a safe with same force of like 1500 psi. Def check out smithville one that to me takes cake and is very under rated cuz wasn't big town and was during 2011 outbreak so had so many other
@@patricklaurojr7427 Actually the tornado that hit Jarrell, Texas in 1997 was moving at only nine miles per hour. Still, it's frighteningly slow and it felt like an eternity for the residents of the Double Creek Estates subdivision.
@@radar_the_fox I agree a very very underrated tornado cuz they had Tuscaloosa and ton of other ones to compete with that hit large cities. If Tuscaloosa never happened it would got more attention
I got everyone into the basement just in time, when i realized everyones pets were still inside, ours too. I shoved the smallest ones in a singke kennel (sorry buddies) and carried my dog in the other arm. As i got out the door the tornado hit my neighborhood the entire sky was green and a straight up sheet of rain was comin down and i looked up the street, literally one block away, rip a huge tree out the ground and lay it in the street, almost hitting the house across the street. I never ran so fast in my life. It was strange though, i felt no wind.
My Dad told me that when he was a kid a tornado flattened their barn and as Dad was helping clean up he found a one inch board with a straw going right through it.
the craziest thing was thinking a tornado could smash through the middle of Dallas and cause only $5 billion in damages. was this estimate made in 1980?
@@douglasgriffiths3534 i'm still gonna say that's way too low based on what we know from hurricanes hitting TX, FL, and NY and not hitting a city dead center.
I lived in Wisconsin for 15 years and I lived in Madison, Wisconsin and we get 28 tornados per year, I rember a ef1 to an ef2 very close to my house like 3 to 4 years ago, you forgot the Mayfield tornado that was an ef4 to an ef5
Dad: '' Hey honey, a tornado just touched down.'' Daughter: '' Can we go look at it.'' ( and no the daughter isnt 6 years old lol ) Dad: '' Why did we keep you, lets go to safety.'' Thats the most american thing Ive heard this year.
I lived in Key West for awhile and one day a friend took me out in his boat and a storm popped up and there were two enormous water spouts on either side of us. We were fine but I think it was a more serious situation than my friend let on
Any mention of the deadliest tornadoes would be incomplete without mentioning the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh, which occurred on April 26, 1989. While most tornadoes occur in the USA, Bangladesh has a few tornadoes, but a greater percentage of Bangladeshi tornadoes become fatal (I believe) when compared with the USA. The Daulatpur-Saturia tornado claimed at least 1,300 lives, making it the deadliest tornado in recorded history. Bangladeshi tornadoes, as well as a few tornadoes in adjacent regions of India, are definitely over-represented on the list of the deadliest tornadoes. Keep in mind that the quality of the average building in Bangladesh is nowhere near US standards, nor do there seem to be tornado warning systems in place. Note that Bangladesh also lays claim to the deadliest tropical cyclone, the Bhola cyclone of 1970 (although it also affected and killed people in India), which killed between 300,000 and 500,000 people. When excluding pandemics (as they persist for long periods of time), only two natural disasters of the 21st century can claim such massive death tolls, both of which were the result of earthquakes (or an earthquake-triggered tsunami); the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, as well as the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Yeah, i wish there was a modern high quality documentary on that one. I remember reading about it when i was in my sophomore or junior year of high school and the few damage pictures the newspaper had were massive.
But, Tornadoes in Bangladesh are more frequent,, and more deadly, due to deforestation, whereas in the American midwest, it was prairie, with probably more trees planted since the pioneers came and homesteaded there..
I suspect the higher population density and fewer underground storm shelters in flood prone areas have something to do with the higher casualty rate also.
I was in mpls. Minn. And saw 1 not far away that leveled a town where the roofs were tore off the houses. Was very scaryThe 1 house that was lifted away reminded me of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.I was in 1 in Joliet IL also, sky turned green golf sized hail plus the sound of a freight train. Was very scary ,I was in a hotel luckily it turned the other way
I've seen F5 damage in 1970 Lubbock a week following going through on a Greyhound that stopped at it's still-standing bus station in the hard hit downtown. Tallest steel building was close by and looked to me to be just a bit twisted. Dozers weren't even done yet and car and building wreckage everywhere. But when I saw the news coverage the very morning after Moore OK '99 all I saw from that copter footage were concrete slabs and that's about all. It's like the thing just swept it up and put it somewhere else because there was nothing but concrete slabs to see in the footage . . . That impressed me as something I'd never seen nor imagined I'd ever be seeing from any tornado..

There are 2 alleys now,the 2nd one is Dixie Alley,I live in Lee County Alabama in 2018 an F5 hit and killed 23 people in a small rural community if it had been 7 miles north more people would have die because this type of weather isn't normal for this area and no one knows what to do but hide in their homes which won't stand a chance against an F5 tornado,people need to educate themselves on this type of weather because with climate change we are going to see more F5,people need to invest in a fallout shelter or have a plan of escape
This is why California real estate is so expensive--Midwestern sweltering summer heat and the bitter winter cold. That said, I grew up in Kansas from 1958-1965 and loved the violent weather, the summer fireflies, the chiggers, the crawdad fishing, and the snow and ice on the road that made great winter sledding. The Blue Coast will never understand the Red Heartland.
So in Oklahoma City Oklahoma there is a city south of the city that has been hit by 5 F-5 Tornadoes 🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪 since 1999. It's as if a Tornado 🌪 had a mouth a nose and eyes and you asked it: Have you created enough trauma and destruction for these people? And the Tornado 🌪 says: NO I WANT MOORE!!!

The USA 🇺🇸 has the most tornadoes by a long shot then 2nd place is Canada 🇨🇦, than the UK 🇬🇧, tornadoes can happen everywhere but they are most common in North America.
Can’t really use that to determine if it’ll be safe or not 100%. I mean it’ll help but debris is also traveling at a much higher rate of speed. You have to figure a 2x4 can go right thru concrete. Unless your walls have 2-3 inch plating inside the walls rebar may not stop that all the time
I don't understand why people goes to live in such horrible areas and, why they stay there risking to lose their lives and, hundreds do lose their lives every year 😢
I hate buttermilk, but like Pringles. What flavor Pringles? My favorite are the jalapeno. There was for a very short time corn on the cob flavored Pringles. I got 4 cans. Can't find hem any more. (Jan Griffiths).
At 4:30, I really dislike how lazily a lot of tornado documentaries explain how they form. Yes, windshear is essential. However they didn't explain how the incredibly strong updraft suck in those spinning Columns of bear and tightened them and how the powerful downdraft behind the supercell stands the spinning column of air upright. At that point, the surrounding human and moist air feeds the tornado / upper cycle until conditions are no longer favorable. This is why the air masses must be extremely unstable for supercell thunderstorms to occur combined with the wind moving in different directions at different levels. This is why tornadoes are relatively rare.
They hadn't happened yet at the time of this documentary. A big hint to how old this is is they're talking about the F scale, which hasn't been used in almost 20 years. We use the EF scale now.
I was watching this and all sudden a add pops up men are u struggling to get it hard down there. Right in middle of this tornado destroying things. What the heck ? Now im scared to get hard down there !!
You will grow out of it. I suppose you could be scarred for life, but I highly doubt it. Or, if you become woke enough, you could let your partner worry about getting hard down there.

Problem with this "worst" scenario is people in Dallas can't really go underground. It's rare to have homes with basements here. Why? Because the ground is rock hard. It would cost a lot of money to build a house with a basement, so most developers don't. The other day I was planting some fake flowers in the dirt, just flowers on stakes. It felt like concrete. I just left them toppled over. LOL.
i feel like one of the things about tornado's that would maybe scare me the most is the "vacuuming effect" that some can do. if you are in a closed off area sealed in you really need to hope that seal stays cause if it doesnt the effect could happen and pull a lot of air out or in. the pressure could change in weird ways god knows what could happen its a tornado for all i know a seal could just barely break and the full door just peace's out or should it be piece's out?
The wind speed numbers would mean a lot more if I didn't have to convert them to standard speeds every 2 or 3 sentences. So a 7.6 mph tornado did what?!! Holy cowshit Batman!!
So, if a mega tornado ever hit a city such as Dallas, what would be the likelihood of of people being sucked out of the skyscrapers and fall, or thrown to the ground, after all the glass, etc., was smashed, or just simply being blown out the windows?
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT,IF A F4-5 HITS DALLAS TEXAS,IT WILL BE THE MOST AWFUL THING IMAGINABLE,short of a atomic blast,F5 SPEEDS are incredible,285-335 mph winds will hit a flat surface like a sky scraper and it will be devastating,many will die,lived in arlington for 13 years seen 3 mean ones come through,beings i'm born kansan,i've seen and experienced many tornado's,know this,if the sky turns green and your are getting huffs of wind like tide waves,be underground,hide below ground level,if it goes over the top of you,open your mouth or goodbye eardrums,been in three of them bearing right down of us,its scary,i'm long winded but this is all true,when they come cruising drop every thing you are doing and go underground,plan it out,think it out,that's your only plan
the worst part would be the ppl on the streets but also remember the cities have alot of underground subways and stuff and with technology now word will get around soon
@@Catglittercrafts oh ok I'm in jersey so I'm use to NYC and being underground anywhere. Well any new buildings going up in tornado alley should have a re inforced room that can be used as shelter. A tornado won't knock down a building but it suck u out so if pppl just go to middle by elevator shafts u be ok
Can someone who lived in tornado alley answer this for me?? Do your cities/towns have designated shelter areas where people can go to escape a tornado if they don’t have a basement or shelter?? Like at a church basement or community centre or something?? Or are you left to your own devices?
Yes, in my hometown of Joplin, Missouri -- after they May 22nd 2011 tornado, they started building storm shelters throughout the city, a lot of them are in churches, and schools. Most people after the event of May 22nd started getting storm shelters placed either behind their homes or in their garages.
Well, not really. I mean if you ran to a public building, you might get lucky. There could be an underground area there, maybe. But, we don't have basements here, as a rule. I've lived in Texas all my life, many of those years, I lived in West Texas, or in the Panhandle, and the South Plains areas of Texas. Around Lubbock, and Amarillo, right smack in the middle of Tornado Alley, and I've never seen any public service announcements telling people of any public tornado shelters available. But, I have seen a huge walk-in safe, that's not used anymore, except as a historical curiosity. The door is always kept open so people can peer into the inside. It's in an office on the ground floor of the historical courthouse, on the town square, in a small Texas town I lived in. When I saw it, I thought "I know where I'm going to take cover if there's ever a tornado while I'm in town." I'd head straight for the courthouse and that safe. Because I once watched another documentary about tornados, in which some bank employees and customers, took cover in the banks safe, and secured the door. They survived. When they came out if the safe, the bank was completely gone. The site where the bank had stood was stripped completely clean, down to the slab. The only thing left, was the safe they'd survived the tornado in. It was standing there in one corner, alone. They showed an aerial photo of it, and you could see it, sitting there. And that's all you saw. Good enough. I'd try to get to that big, old safe, at the courthouse, then. Or to one at a bank. Or I'd find somewhere with a walk-in cooler, or walk-in freezer, in a restaurant, a bar, or a butcher shop, and take shelter there. I've heard of people having survived tornados by sheltering in those, too. And don't forget the underground grease pits in garages that do oil changes and put tires on cars. Like the one they took shelter in, in the movie " Twister". A grease pit would do for shelter from a tornado, in a pinch. Those are the public places this Texas girl would head for, if I ever had to find shelter, caught out in public, with a tornado coming. As we have no official underground public tornado shelters, available anywhere they might be needed. At least that I'm aware of. Good thing we're fiercely independent here. It pays to think ahead, pay attention to what's going on around you, and keep an eye on the weather. Have a plan A, and a plan B, and keep your emergency supplies packed, and ready to go, at all times. Be prepared ahead of time, and plan what you'll do in different emergency situations, if you're going to be living somewhere where you may have to survive a potential disaster, or two, like I've always done. No matter what those disasters may be. If you do this, and you don't panic, but use your brain to think with, have a little courage, and alot of common sense, then you're likely to make it through. My wish for everyone tho, is that they never have to put their plans into action. And if they do, they'll be successful, and survive. Really, that's all anyone can ever do, isn't it? Just survive.
@@melissahammond949thank you so much for your detailed response. I will admit it’s shocking to me that there isn’t public shelters, but what you’ve said makes sense as well
Build the houses in the ground ..flat surface ontop to help avoid the problems u occur every year and ..do every house on extreme heavy duty steel ..to avoid damage and to avoid costs that apply to the rest of the USA
I disagree with the Oklahoma city tornado being the most deadly. I honestly think the Mayfield Tornado last year in December was the deadliest and costly for that matter. I mean how many times does a F4 rated tornado travel across 4 states and basically hits several cities.
As a long distance delivery driver I have been through many blizzards in North Dakota. And then I experienced my first encounter with a tornado and I can tell you this,I will go through a blizzard any day but I am terrified of tornadoes!
I live in New York. I also will take on a blizzard before a tornado. I find tornados beautiful. But I will never be comfortable enough to want to experience one.
That is amazing that you risk your life so people can have there stuff!
Yes, blizzard over tornado anyday! Although hurricanes...tornados and hurricanes I am pretty equally afraid of. I still think a tornado terrifies me more though, especially since we've had more here the last few years and we aren't supposed to get any (bucks County Pa, close to Philly and NJ and surrounding me about 8 tornadoes have come the last few years. I don't blame it on clate change though. I 💯% blame it on weather control and I've done the research to find the inconsistency's from natural weather to controlled weather. There is this man that has radars and yet also measures the metals in the air..he has about 6 or so maps that the radar measures different things.. the regular ones and ones following "controlled clouds/"contrails" (chemtrails) as well as the metals in the air and besides those other ways that we control the weather, and the more humans do the worse it gets. Weather isn't even the same as when I was a baby to around 19-20ish. That's when I started looking up and seeing changes. I noticed it before I even new a thing about it. Until one day I finay remembered my dad teaching me about con and chem trails and telling me the difference. He was born in 1945 Germany and worked as an air traffic controller, and he hubg out and drank with a lot of Russians and Germans and other foreigners that worked for military's and they along with his higher ups told him about a huge building where they were keeoigf all the chemicals for chemtrails and other biohazard is materials they were using on the population (including there own, everywhere). I was very young web my dad told me about this. Around 6-8 is my best guess. We were flying a kite and there were fighter pilots in the sky doif there dancibg in the sky thing (sorry I have brain fog and I'm terrible at remembering names and terms) but after one went away, the other made some contrails. That's when he told me to look out for strange clouds and told me the difference. These ones go away, chemtrails don't and rain would come shortly after then and for 3 days during and after the rain is web those metals are coming down. Nobody is safe from them except the wealthy or if you are lucky enough to live in an rich area, but een so they are effecting the earth and everything on it. They also effect something called black goo, that is connected to morgellons. I wish my dad was alive so I could have more conversations with him about it all. I did eventually look up what that building was and it does exist and it was near the airport my dad worked at. Even though it was IN Germany, it was mostly owned by the united states and I believe the united nations/NATO were involved. I wish I could share more info, but you all probably believe I'm crazy as is 😂 I don't talk about these things often because when I used to say things I knew were coming aroud 6yrs ago, I started being targeted and harrassed. It was really scary and I have kids, so I only talk randomly a few times a year in comment sections like this. I guess just to get it off my chest. I miss my dad and he would hate to see what's been happening in the world.
Agreed. I live in hurricane country and will still take a hurricane over a tornado. At least with hurricanes there’s ample warning.
As a gig worker, I will say that I will drive through any tornado at any time, period.
RIP Sugar :< Id be so upset over losing my animals

I'm so terrified of natural disasters, they fascinate me at the same time, especially tornados. Idk why, I get all tingly from the mix of these feelings when I watch stuff like this.
awe & terror lol
I am with you on that. My stomach gets tight and queezy, heart races and throbs in my head. I've taken my blood pressure and noticed it elevates along with my pulse even for a short time after the video is finished.
I live in a place were we have 0 natural distasters. In the middle of a tectonic plate, no risk for huge storms bcs the geography. No big predators, we had like 3 wolves idk if they are left. The worst after that is fox & peoples housecats 😅
Peace, social sequrity, childcare, democracy & free world class education, even UNI is free.. so no huge student debts.
Homelessness is really low bcs we do housing first as a policy. And free healthcare no matter your income. Unions & labour laws are really strong..... i would never set my foot in the US

I have lived in Tornado prone states all of my life and have had at least two pass directly over my head, and several more close enough to have my ears pop. In most cases the tornadoes were leap frogging their way to where they were going. The amount of power a tornado has is difficult for someone who has not experienced it to appreciate. The first was when I was a child, and I remember hearing huge trees in my yard breaking like matchsticks as it jumped our house. We had twenty tall trees broken in half, all slightly above rooftop level , in about 2 seconds and then the tornado moved on. The second time was even quicker and sounded like a train or truck drove over us. It jumped my place and totally destroyed the adjacent apartment, which literally looked like a washing machine after the spin cycle was used.
In most cases you hear the tornado getting close. You feel it in your ears and the barometer. Windows pop and break. However, once it is upon you, it happens so fast that you really have no time to react once it is on you. You are TOTALLY helpless, so the best thing you can do is just wait for it to pass, which is incredibly quick in most instances.
I live in tornado ally also I had more then 10 tornados I think but let then 20 so in the middle but we are moving out of tornado ally...
Tornadoes have already hit large cities. Joplin and Tuscaloosa come to mind.

Great scene from a classic movie. 🌪️🌪️
*Will NEVER FORGET the onslaught of tornadoes which composed of about roughly 75-76 vortexes' of December 10-11 of 2021 overnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
I'm always amazed no one reports on the Atlanta Tornado that hit downtown. One of the tallest hotels in the US moved 6 feet on i'ts base when the tornado hit it. Downtown was closed for quite a bit as pieces of windows were falling on the streets and sidewalks. You would stand there and a piece of glass would hit your head. Part of the roof was pulled off during the final 4 basketball games.
I stay at the Westin frequently and was horrified when that tornado hit. Thankfully it was not while I was staying there, but I was scared for the staff and the people who were there. That said, the westin provides glorious views of storms rolling in. I just hope none of them contain another tornado.
I think the only issue I have with those tornado simulators (and honestly other similarly geared disaster simulators) is that they don't take into account the difference between just wind (or water, etc) hitting an object. The second a tornado touches down, it's now blowing dirt, rocks, twigs, branches, etc. When those tiny projectiles hit a surface, it can and will cause more damage than just the wind it hitting it. When a simulator takes dirt, rocks, and other debris into account, I feel they'll be far more accurate and realistic in simulating damage.
That's a big issue with programming and part of the reason it takes so much just to render these simulations. Each material has it's own hardness, elasticity, durability, mounting, abrasion resistance. All of that has to be taken into account for both objects the hitter and the object being hit, including sharpness as well as things like glass which are hard, but incredibly weak to any form of puncturing. Then do that not just for millions of particles, not even billion, but trillions and trillions. How do you code that, and make it actually process fast enough to be useful information?
@adam cooper true. I just feel that even a half hearted attempt to include some form of projectiles at all would be better than none. As Ron White said: its not -that- the wind is blowin'. It's -what- the wind is blowin'.
@@ArcherJadephoenix I’ll add onto this discussion, 3D tools such as Blender are becoming more and more capable over time. Blender for example, can currently handle a pretty incredible amount of 3D objects with physics (over a million at least, but with some constraints)… and for as long as computer hardware continues to improve so will the functional realism of such physics based simulation.
The next great game changer for 3D apps like Blender would be integrating AI-based object generation/creation tools so thatit can create the millions, billions, and trillions of unique objects it would take to accurately simulate a home with thousands of shingles, wood splinters, belongings, furniture, etc.
that and as the wind gets inside and rips larger debris the destructive power escalates provided it can keep it in the circulation which so far does not seem to be an issue
There was a Tornado in Bangladesh in 1989 that killed around 1300 people; making it the deadliest tornado in recorded history.
if it was in the US, it would have been included...
Also there was no recorded footage of the event unfortunately
Most of those people lived in poor shanty towns and weakly made homes. About as much protection as a crappy mobile home.
That's not the deadliest tornado in the world there's other ones
@@riverdaugherty The deadliest tornado in world history was the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh on April 26, 1989
Yes it was. It is documented and certified as the deadliest. Stop spreading misinformation.
Joplin Tornado from 2011. I lived 45 miles away when it happen and I went through the city a week after while traveling to Oklahoma. It looked like a battlefield after a war has passed through with unyielding destruction in every direction you look.
Joplin tornado broke my heart. It was devestating. I’m surprised it wasn’t mentioned.
@@kibblesmcknob617 The reason the Joplin and Greensburg Tornadoes were not listed is that this is a program from the mid 2000s. Those tornadoes came after this was originally made. The giveaway is that the video still references the F Scale for tornadoes. Now we go by the EF Scale (or Enhanced Fujita Scale).
@@kennethsnyder6849that clears that up. This did seem like an older video.
Don't actually know which city they actually considered it in but a tornado hit around Lancaster, TX in 2012. It literally picked up tractor trailers out of the Schnieder Yard and tossed those trucks & trailers in the air like they were cardboard. Scary stuff.
You could tell how old this video is by the fact they mentioned we "use the F-scale" and not the EF-scale.
Ur channel is amazing and narrating is born for this
I live in Oklahoma. I remember the Moore, OK, tornado. It was horrifying. I had family that lived through it. Back in the 1990s there was an F4 tornado that passed about 5 miles to the south of my home. It literally scoured homes off their concrete slabs. There was absolutely nothing left but the slab, not even debris. I remember that a school bus was found 6 miles from where it had been and was crushed into a ball. About 3 years ago a small, probably F0 tornado actually hit my home. Thankfully it did not damage the home, but it did break some limbs off some trees. Tornadoes are not my cup of tea.
Why don't they build all the homes underground?
@@ImagineGTAVI I don't think most people want to live underground, and it's a lot more expensive. I've lived here 32 years. I've never heard of an underground home. They may be here, but I have never heard of them.

Many choose to live there & to take that risk..
@@ingridakerblom7577 I always wonder why people choose to live in a flood plane or where Hurricanes and Tornadoes happen. Some say because their extended family is their or maybe they are too poor to make a move. 😥.

Se level is rising but people still build & buy houses in areas that are known to be an issue/under water soon.. muricans are stubborn with being stupid..
There's nowhere that doesn't have ANY natural disasters. There's something around you, whether it be through snow, rain, wind, water, or the earth.
@@samtmh7240 Of course, there are always natural weather conditions in and around where I live. As you state....wind, rain, fire, fog, snow or earthquakes, etc, are present from time to time. However, none of which have become 'natural disasters' where I live. The definition of the word 'disaster' implies terrible destruction and loss of life. We just don't suffer terrible destruction and loss of life here from natural earth and weather conditions. 😊
Thank you for sharing this video 🙂👍
I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY DOG WITH ME! I agree poor Sugar, how sad 😂
You'd honestly think that if one was going to live in tornado alley, they'd make sure their home was closer to and partially in the ground with a rounded/angled roof to deal with strong winds.
Most people have underground storm shelters.. atleast those that can afford them. But many of the mobile home communities have community shelters underground. But yeah I agree if you live there you need to be prepared.
Not everyone can afford to build a concrete home or a mostly in ground home... even then if your house is solid concrete, you have no guarantee. Tornados rip right through that material as well. Yes ideally, you would want a "underground house"... BUT, there are practically zero hills to build one into out there. So just imagine the amount of excavation you'd have to do in order to build even a simple 3 bed 2 bath home in ground that wasn't even that big...
@Anibus Pup: I've thought about exactly what you're thinking. A steel re-enforced concrete dome, partially underground, would by far be the safest structure in tornado/hurricane prone areas.
@@nerblebun yeah that would cost you no less than $500K if you went with a very small one. If you wanted a decent 3 bed/2 bath home you'd be looking at anywhere from $1.5-2 million!
We can’t afford it
Tornado Alley has expanded well into Arkansas. When I moved from Calif. to Arkansas 16 years ago, I wouldn't even look at a house to buy unless it had a tornado shelter. In 2011 my rural town of 9,878 residence was hit by 2 tornadoes on the same night. We could clearly hear the F-3 funnel travel directly over the house (It DOES sound like a Freight Train), then touch down on the next street over (Complete Devastation) while my son, granddaughter, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and myself were safely underground in our steel re-enforced concrete bunker 5 ft. from the backdoor.
Last nights sever thunderstorm produced 5 tornadoes on the ground at the same time in NW Arkansas. One was 7 miles north of my location.🏴☠
I am so sorry you went through that. Did you lose your entire house? I lost mine to devastating floods about 6 years back.
@@Ena48145: I lost my home & all possessions to fire in 1986, but so far tornadoes have missed us by a block.
Don't know why but Arkansas is a tornado magnet. That's just the record.
I was born & raised the first 19yrs of my life in NW Arkansas. I grew up hearing about & being around tornadoes. The fact that people don't include Missouri & Arkansas in tornado alley always irritates me.
@@lulabelle5452: You're 100% correct Lisa. Arkansas isn't mentioned by anyone for any reason unless something truly extraordinary happens. Even then it's only reported on local news. Over a decade ago we had 62 tornadoes on the ground at the same time, including the two that hit my rural town of Clarksville on the same night, and one that zig-zagged hither & yon across the state, on the ground, for almost 400 miles....in January!
Approx 30 little podunk communities, populations 200 or less, were wiped off the face of the earth. Yet not a word reported by National News. It's mind boggling.
The May 3rd 1999 tornado was on the ground for damn near 100 miles. Unfortunately, the same area the 99 tornado hit got leveled again in 2013.
It was also a mile wide.... at ground level
I reside in Oklahoma. I vividly recall the Moore, OK, tornado - it was a nightmare. My family experienced it firsthand. In the 1990s, an F4 tornado passed just 5 miles south of my house. It stripped houses from their foundations, leaving only bare slabs. Even debris was nonexistent. A school bus was found 6 miles away, crushed into a ball. Around 3 years ago, a small, probably F0 tornado grazed my home. Thankfully, it spared the house but snapped some tree limbs. Tornadoes are not something I want to deal with
I was in sixth grade in 1989 when a tornado skipped and hopped through my neighborhood, sat down at the Redstone Arsenal, and took off as an F4 in the middle of Huntsville rush hour. A major tornado in a city like Dallas would be beyond devastating.
Wow, I'm glad you are okay
I’m from Huntsville, though I wasn’t quite alive for that tornado, but I was in 8th grade when April 27th tornados took place, it was an insane day.
Huntsville has had many close calls and direct hits. It’s rocket city and tornado town.
@@Holtyyy I’m just now seeing your comment…I watched that happen on the news while I was at work. It was very surreal to see places I’d lived in (I also once lived 30 mins South of Tuscaloosa) being pounded by that storm system. I can’t imagine what it was like on the ground.
I was on the 400 block of North Main Street working as a courier on March 28, of 2000 when an F0-F2 tornado walked straight into downtown Ft Worth, Tx. It was surreal. I've always been fascinated by tornados and had always wanted to see one, but not so close up. I was peeking around the corner of the building where I was to view it; peeking around to see it but not be seen BY it more accurately. It had just hit head on an office building, and a gentleman near me stated, "Wow! Look at all the shingles it picked up!" I informed him that it was just leaving the Cash America building and was taking its 8 x 8 thick glass windows with it. I can't imagine the devastation as a result of being struck with a hunk of glass weighing a few hundred pounds. But there they were, just floating around, circling the vortex like horses on a carousel. A coworker of mine happened to be smack dab in the middle of downtown, not four blocks away like I was. He ducked into a parking garage lobby just in time to turn around and see the tip of the twister that was actually making contact with the street. He said it was about maybe 2 feet across, essentially a point, but whizzing around like a top, and moreover, effortlessly tossing cars and trucks that were parked on the street around like a bipolar child taking his anger out on his Tonkas. I guess I can scratch seeing one of these bad boys live off my bucket list
Y'all realize that Missouri, Arkansas, & Louisiana are part of tornado alley too right? Born & raised in Arkansas & saw & heard stories of several in my 19yrs there.
Absolutely. My mom is grew up in little rock, she use to tell me horror stories
FYI, the updraft in the storm pulls the horizontally rotating column of air UP from the ground....making it vertical and creating the tornado. Also...tornadoes are rated using the EF scale, or Enhanced Fujita scale. The F scale stopped being used in 2007.
Yes, but these tornados happened before 2007, so they still carry their original F-scale ranking.
This seems like an old video. They didn’t at all mention any of the horrible tornadoes that have happened in the 2010s and later.
So glad Jarrell was included. It may not have caused the most destruction, but as far as the landscape it came in contact with, it caused the greatest "quality" of destruction ever, no tornado comes anywhere close. As a rope it was already spinning so fast it became transparent (I don't think I've ever seen that with any other tornado). The thing was a freak of nature. We can only hope it remains unmatched.
yes has alot to do with fact it moved very slow 15mph. But smithville Mississippi ef5 is very under rated this tornado hands down my opinion would got Jarrell beat this smithville did stuff same I not worse and moved thru 4 times faster than Jarrell. imagine it moved slow like Jarrell? This tornado literally dug 2 ft into ground it took a ford explorer threw it into the water tower there still a dent today to prove it and than it went another 100 yards after hit tower. It also took a double wide mobile home threw in 300 yards without hitting ground and when hit ground it rolled 100 more yards. They said it threw a safe with same force of like 1500 psi. Def check out smithville one that to me takes cake and is very under rated cuz wasn't big town and was during 2011 outbreak so had so many other

Any mention of the deadliest tornadoes would be incomplete without mentioning the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh, which occurred on April 26, 1989. While most tornadoes occur in the USA, Bangladesh has a few tornadoes, but a greater percentage of Bangladeshi tornadoes become fatal (I believe) when compared with the USA. The Daulatpur-Saturia tornado claimed at least 1,300 lives, making it the deadliest tornado in recorded history. Bangladeshi tornadoes, as well as a few tornadoes in adjacent regions of India, are definitely over-represented on the list of the deadliest tornadoes.
Keep in mind that the quality of the average building in Bangladesh is nowhere near US standards, nor do there seem to be tornado warning systems in place. Note that Bangladesh also lays claim to the deadliest tropical cyclone, the Bhola cyclone of 1970 (although it also affected and killed people in India), which killed between 300,000 and 500,000 people. When excluding pandemics (as they persist for long periods of time), only two natural disasters of the 21st century can claim such massive death tolls, both of which were the result of earthquakes (or an earthquake-triggered tsunami); the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, as well as the 2010 Haiti earthquake.
Yeah, i wish there was a modern high quality documentary on that one. I remember reading about it when i was in my sophomore or junior year of high school and the few damage pictures the newspaper had were massive.
I've never heard about this, that's both interesting and just horrifying
But, Tornadoes in Bangladesh are more frequent,, and more deadly, due to deforestation, whereas in the American midwest, it was prairie, with probably more trees planted since the pioneers came and homesteaded there..
cause when you live in a house made with mud and sticks and a tornado comes, you are going to die.
I suspect the higher population density and fewer underground storm shelters in flood prone areas have something to do with the higher casualty rate also.
Tornadoes are so cool. The way they can just swallow a whole home is amazing
I was in mpls. Minn. And saw 1 not far away that leveled a town where the roofs were tore off the houses. Was very scaryThe 1 house that was lifted away reminded me of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.I was in 1 in Joliet IL also, sky turned green golf sized hail plus the sound of a freight train. Was very scary ,I was in a hotel luckily it turned the other way
Tornados and storms are terrifying but they're not an "act of violence".
Moore 99, Moore 2013, Joplin, Reno. Those are absolutely the worst of the worst.
I've seen F5 damage in 1970 Lubbock a week following going through on a Greyhound that stopped at it's still-standing bus station in the hard hit downtown. Tallest steel building was close by and looked to me to be just a bit twisted. Dozers weren't even done yet and car and building wreckage everywhere.
But when I saw the news coverage the very morning after Moore OK '99 all I saw from that copter footage were concrete slabs and that's about all. It's like the thing just swept it up and put it somewhere else because there was nothing but concrete slabs to see in the footage . . . That impressed me as something I'd never seen nor imagined I'd ever be seeing from any tornado..
Scary!

MAY 3RD 1999 and MAY 20TH 2013 F5 TORNADOES 🌪 IN MOORE OKLAHOMA 1999 REGISTERED 318 MPH: THE HIGHEST WIND SPEED EVER RECORDED ON PLANET EARTH 🌎 2013 F5-210 MPH. MAY 31ST 2013 F5-NEAR 300MPH IN EL RENO OKLAHOMA.
If I lived in Oklahoma in particular and definitely in the town of El Reno and Moore…I would absolutely have a shelter built into the ground about 15-20ft deep minimum!!! 🌪🌪🌪😵💫😵💫😵💫😬😬😬🤐🤐🤐😳😳😳😵😵😵
27:52 A dirty blanket~? oooooh....a mistake w wounds...and a sad predicament.
Those weren't "three-ton trucks getting snatched in the air", Sonny Boy, those were 10-ton trucks getting snatched in the air....🌪️
No!!!!!! Not sugar! Damn YOU TORNADO’s!!!!!!
The good stuff starts at 33:20.
There are 2 alleys now,the 2nd one is Dixie Alley,I live in Lee County Alabama in 2018 an F5 hit and killed 23 people in a small rural community if it had been 7 miles north more people would have die because this type of weather isn't normal for this area and no one knows what to do but hide in their homes which won't stand a chance against an F5 tornado,people need to educate themselves on this type of weather because with climate change we are going to see more F5,people need to invest in a fallout shelter or have a plan of escape
Boy, you got to love the Great Smokies and Appalachians.
This is why California real estate is so expensive--Midwestern sweltering summer heat and the bitter winter cold. That said, I grew up in Kansas from 1958-1965 and loved the violent weather, the summer fireflies, the chiggers, the crawdad fishing, and the snow and ice on the road that made great winter sledding. The Blue Coast will never understand the Red Heartland.
I really believe that Alabama should be added to Tornado 🌪 Alley
So in Oklahoma City Oklahoma there is a city south of the city that has been hit by 5 F-5 Tornadoes 🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪 since 1999. It's as if a Tornado 🌪 had a mouth a nose and eyes and you asked it: Have you created enough trauma and destruction for these people? And the Tornado 🌪 says: NO I WANT MOORE!!! The name of the city hit by 5 F-5's since 1999.
The USA 🇺🇸 has the most tornadoes by a long shot then 2nd place is Canada 🇨🇦, than the UK 🇬🇧, tornadoes can happen everywhere but they are most common in North America.
Why is that?
Can’t really use that to determine if it’ll be safe or not 100%. I mean it’ll help but debris is also traveling at a much higher rate of speed. You have to figure a 2x4 can go right thru concrete. Unless your walls have 2-3 inch plating inside the walls rebar may not stop that all the time

Poor Sugar.. ❤😔
I feckin love Randy's accent. Proper Texan voice that
Red Springs NC Tornado in the 1980s ..Fayetteville NC 2010 ! Indescribable Devastation
Did anyone notice that a lot of the tornado sound effects for the CG tornadoes are the ones from the movie twister?
Yep
I actually watched that film when it came out in the cinema, great film I’ve been interested in tornados since.
I don't understand why people goes to live in such horrible areas and, why they stay there risking to lose their lives and, hundreds do lose their lives every year 😢
So you want everyone living in the states in tornado alley to move? Where exactly would you like those millions of people to move to?
It didn't tear the roof off that house...it sucked the entire structure right up inside it!!!

Relaxing with a Buttermilk and Pringles milkshake
say what now
Yuck!
I hate buttermilk, but like Pringles. What flavor Pringles? My favorite are the jalapeno. There was for a very short time corn on the cob flavored Pringles. I got 4 cans. Can't find hem any more. (Jan Griffiths).
I would be terrified of a tornado, let alone one at night. Must be hell on earth.

At 4:30, I really dislike how lazily a lot of tornado documentaries explain how they form. Yes, windshear is essential. However they didn't explain how the incredibly strong updraft suck in those spinning Columns of bear and tightened them and how the powerful downdraft behind the supercell stands the spinning column of air upright. At that point, the surrounding human and moist air feeds the tornado / upper cycle until conditions are no longer favorable. This is why the air masses must be extremely unstable for supercell thunderstorms to occur combined with the wind moving in different directions at different levels. This is why tornadoes are relatively rare.
10:46 He's at eye-level with that debris field...he should have goggles on....plus...maybe not even be in that area~?
please use U.S stander measurements also
to the narrator, only like 6 people in the usa know the metric system ...FYI
No talk of El Reno, OK, Joplin, MO, or Tuscsloosa, AL...?
They hadn't happened yet at the time of this documentary. A big hint to how old this is is they're talking about the F scale, which hasn't been used in almost 20 years. We use the EF scale now.
I was watching this and all sudden a add pops up men are u struggling to get it hard down there. Right in middle of this tornado destroying things. What the heck ? Now im scared to get hard down there !!
You will grow out of it. I suppose you could be scarred for life, but I highly doubt it. Or, if you become woke enough, you could let your partner worry about getting hard down there.
amazing how many people give a thumbs up to destruction??? Insanity in action!
These magnetic vortex's could be cause of tornado' /vortex'ss on the pla net's surfess, atmosphere, and ocea n's, also most importantley knowing there are two Black Holes in every planet in the YING/YANG position's ge nerating very l powerfull magnetic fields and vortex volocity's mov ing planetary matierials including the atmosphere!!!
Didn't happen to a major city but it did happen to Joplin
21:30 My freaking ears aren't safe~ before, during or after this event~!!
Problem with this "worst" scenario is people in Dallas can't really go underground. It's rare to have homes with basements here. Why? Because the ground is rock hard. It would cost a lot of money to build a house with a basement, so most developers don't. The other day I was planting some fake flowers in the dirt, just flowers on stakes. It felt like concrete. I just left them toppled over. LOL.
And in The next episode! Follow us to se the f5 sharknado disaster! Where sharks is sucked out of the ocean and hurled into People in 300mph winds
i feel like one of the things about tornado's that would maybe scare me the most is the "vacuuming effect" that some can do. if you are in a closed off area sealed in you really need to hope that seal stays cause if it doesnt the effect could happen and pull a lot of air out or in. the pressure could change in weird ways god knows what could happen its a tornado for all i know a seal could just barely break and the full door just peace's out or should it be piece's out?
That Pampa tornado was at EF5 strength when tossing those 3 ton trucks
The wind speed numbers would mean a lot more if I didn't have to convert them to standard speeds every 2 or 3 sentences. So a 7.6 mph tornado did what?!! Holy cowshit Batman!!
When was this filmed with eye witnesses?
Rest In Peace Sugar 💔💔💔💔
So, if a mega tornado ever hit a city such as Dallas, what would be the likelihood of of people being sucked out of the skyscrapers and fall, or thrown to the ground, after all the glass, etc., was smashed, or just simply being blown out the windows?
Very high likelihood.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT,IF A F4-5 HITS DALLAS TEXAS,IT WILL BE THE MOST AWFUL THING IMAGINABLE,short of a atomic blast,F5 SPEEDS are incredible,285-335 mph winds will hit a flat surface like a sky scraper and it will be devastating,many will die,lived in arlington for 13 years seen 3 mean ones come through,beings i'm born kansan,i've seen and experienced many tornado's,know this,if the sky turns green and your are getting huffs of wind like tide waves,be underground,hide below ground level,if it goes over the top of you,open your mouth or goodbye eardrums,been in three of them bearing right down of us,its scary,i'm long winded but this is all true,when they come cruising drop every thing you are doing and go underground,plan it out,think it out,that's your only plan
the worst part would be the ppl on the streets but also remember the cities have alot of underground subways and stuff and with technology now word will get around soon
@@patricklaurojr7427 Dallas only has one three and a half mile section of rail running underneath the North Central Expressway. No subways in Texas.
@@Catglittercrafts oh ok I'm in jersey so I'm use to NYC and being underground anywhere. Well any new buildings going up in tornado alley should have a re inforced room that can be used as shelter. A tornado won't knock down a building but it suck u out so if pppl just go to middle by elevator shafts u be ok
Can someone who lived in tornado alley answer this for me??
Do your cities/towns have designated shelter areas where people can go to escape a tornado if they don’t have a basement or shelter?? Like at a church basement or community centre or something?? Or are you left to your own devices?
Yes, in my hometown of Joplin, Missouri -- after they May 22nd 2011 tornado, they started building storm shelters throughout the city, a lot of them are in churches, and schools. Most people after the event of May 22nd started getting storm shelters placed either behind their homes or in their garages.
Well, not really. I mean if you ran to a public building, you might get lucky. There could be an underground area there, maybe. But, we don't have basements here, as a rule. I've lived in Texas all my life, many of those years, I lived in West Texas, or in the Panhandle, and the South Plains areas of Texas. Around Lubbock, and Amarillo, right smack in the middle of Tornado Alley, and I've never seen any public service announcements telling people of any public tornado shelters available. But, I have seen a huge walk-in safe, that's not used anymore, except as a historical curiosity. The door is always kept open so people can peer into the inside. It's in an office on the ground floor of the historical courthouse, on the town square, in a small Texas town I lived in. When I saw it, I thought "I know where I'm going to take cover if there's ever a tornado while I'm in town." I'd head straight for the courthouse and that safe. Because I once watched another documentary about tornados, in which some bank employees and customers, took cover in the banks safe, and secured the door. They survived. When they came out if the safe, the bank was completely gone. The site where the bank had stood was stripped completely clean, down to the slab. The only thing left, was the safe they'd survived the tornado in. It was standing there in one corner, alone. They showed an aerial photo of it, and you could see it, sitting there. And that's all you saw. Good enough. I'd try to get to that big, old safe, at the courthouse, then. Or to one at a bank. Or I'd find somewhere with a walk-in cooler, or walk-in freezer, in a restaurant, a bar, or a butcher shop, and take shelter there. I've heard of people having survived tornados by sheltering in those, too. And don't forget the underground grease pits in garages that do oil changes and put tires on cars. Like the one they took shelter in, in the movie " Twister". A grease pit would do for shelter from a tornado, in a pinch. Those are the public places this Texas girl would head for, if I ever had to find shelter, caught out in public, with a tornado coming. As we have no official underground public tornado shelters, available anywhere they might be needed. At least that I'm aware of. Good thing we're fiercely independent here. It pays to think ahead, pay attention to what's going on around you, and keep an eye on the weather. Have a plan A, and a plan B, and keep your emergency supplies packed, and ready to go, at all times. Be prepared ahead of time, and plan what you'll do in different emergency situations, if you're going to be living somewhere where you may have to survive a potential disaster, or two, like I've always done. No matter what those disasters may be. If you do this, and you don't panic, but use your brain to think with, have a little courage, and alot of common sense, then you're likely to make it through. My wish for everyone tho, is that they never have to put their plans into action. And if they do, they'll be successful, and survive. Really, that's all anyone can ever do, isn't it? Just survive.
@@melissahammond949thank you so much for your detailed response. I will admit it’s shocking to me that there isn’t public shelters, but what you’ve said makes sense as well
@@LadyJaedeokay that makes sense, thank you for your response!
Build the houses in the ground ..flat surface ontop to help avoid the problems u occur every year and ..do every house on extreme heavy duty steel ..to avoid damage and to avoid costs that apply to the rest of the USA
you gotta dig a tunnel and hide underground......we need some badgers
I disagree with the Oklahoma city tornado being the most deadly. I honestly think the Mayfield Tornado last year in December was the deadliest and costly for that matter. I mean how many times does a F4 rated tornado travel across 4 states and basically hits several cities.
عجب عجاب على ما حدث في السنين الاخيرة !
If you aren't underground for an ef5 give your heart to God if you havnt already
People even close to 🌪alley knows that
