  • Storm chaser Cyrena Arnold looks at seven hurricane and tornado scenes from popular TV shows and movies and rates them based on realism.
    She looks at storm scenes in "Geostorm" (2017), "Twister" (1996), "Into the Storm" (2014), "The Day After Tomorrow" (2004), "Sharknado" (2013), "Night of the Twisters" (1996), and "X-Men" (2000).
    Can anyone survive in the center of a tornado? Should you take shelter in a basement when a storm hits? Are fire tornadoes a thing? Could "Sharknado" actually happen?
    Arnold is a meteorologist and has worked at Mount Washington Observatory and NASA. She hosts talks for STEM careers, and is the author of "The Weather Story: With Frances Fox."

    For those who do not know, she is referring to the El Reno Tornado In May, 31st, 2013, it killed 4 Storm Chasers 1 of which being Veteran Chaser Tim Samaras, he was killed in his vehicle as the tornado suddenly switched directions coming straight for Tim Samaras

      It was 3 accredited storm chasers. Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras and Carl Young. Paul and Carl were ejected, Tim remained in the car as it was tossed by one of the sub vortices. The tornado did not suddenly switch directions, watch the track of El Reno. There is no single deviation where TWISTEX was. El Reno in no way shape or form stalked people. Tornadoes don't do that.
      The fourth was Richard Henderson who was in no way accredited. You didn't even see the storm chasing community rally in his memory with his initials like they did for Tim, Carl and Paul. He was going after the tornado, then the last image on his phone was of Richard standing in front of the tornado. Needless to say, he was no longer Richard after the photo was taken. He was killed not long afterwards.

      It's not that it ”changed direction.” It was 2.6 miles wide and rain-wrapped. The main condensation funnel didn't change directions at the moment the Twistex team was hit. Tim, Carl, and Paul were hit by a rogue sub-vortices. El Reno was a massive multi-vortex tornado. Many of the sub-vortices had their own windspeeds of an access of 180 mph. You can look up the path of the El Reno tornado and see that it followed a natural path of west to east/northeastward direction. They basically misjudged their location and tried to outrun it. Dan Henderson (an amateur storm chaser) was roughly ¾ a mile in front of them on the same road, and he survived by barely escaping the tornado.

    Living in a metric country, we have had a "divide by three" rule for measuring the distance between the lighting and you. When you see the flash, count seconds and stop when you hear the strike. Divide those seconds by three and you get rough approximation of the distance. For example you see the flash and count to 15 before the strike and it was roughly 5 km from you.
    As sound travels 344m/s and kilometer is 1000 meters the result is close enough. Close enough because there are always variables like how fast you count the seconds, overlapping lightnings, echoes, etc. but it should give a decent approximation and something to do while enjoying the show :)

    Sharks have another issue with tornadoes. They are streamlined. Even a tornado that can suck up a breaching shark probably can't carry it for long because the shark will probably reorient its nose upwind because of it's large aerodynamic surfaces near the rear. This means sharks are inherently streamlined and likely to end up in a very high speed dive through the tornado when they do fall.

    The problem with the really violent cold front isn't that air can't do that, it's that everything else can't do that. There's no way to have a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and oxygen at around 1 atmosphere suck that much heat out of large solid or liquid objects instantly. The fastest an object could cool would be if the air were just above its boiling point, but even then, that's only gonna cool you about 12x faster than room temperature air. Not only won't it instantly freeze you, but if you are wearing a good coat or exercising a lot, you might not even go hypothermic, although I would be a bit concerned about frostbite to exposed extremities and inhaling supercold air.

    • @danreyn
      @danreyn Рік тому +3

      Completely agree. I use liquid nitrogen frequently and you can't snap freeze an object that fast even by completely submerging it and sloshing it about in LN2. It takes a few seconds at least. And you know it has to be warmer air than that because the air is, well, air. If it was that cold, the CO2, oxygen, and nitrogen wouldn't be gas anymore.
      also, there would be a massive thunderstorm leading that cold front. The warm air isn't simply turned cold, it is pushed up by the cold air. This makes the moisture condense and rain down. Those people wouldn't be on the beach because there should be the most violent thunderstorm they've ever seen.

    Living by the Black sea, I've seen small tornadoes and usually there were several of them at the same time. Once we've counted up to 7 of them in the sea, but there was quite some distance between them. And in that area they are mostly harmless - shortly after they get to the ground, they disappear. And it was a spectacular view, by the way, with a heavy rain and the sky turning almost black and the lightnings revealing them.

My FSU climatology professor used that scene as an "impossibility" to hone in on his lesson. the air molecules will warm up by the very physics involved with the change in elevation, the speed of the descending air would make no difference. Also at FSU Meteorology classes at that time (2006), using Al Gore's name in any way other than derisive was an instant F.

    I love weather a lot and I love tornadoes, but the tornadoes at night are the ones that scare me the most. I call them Nightnadoes. But what makes them so terrifying and deadly in general is that there's no form of light except the flashes of lightning or power flashes to show you where the tornado actually is, the hail and rain just coming down like crazy is enough to drown out the sound of the tornado so you can't hear it coming. Basically, when it comes to Nightnadoes, if you're stuck on the road in the middle of nowhere or something like that and there's a Nightnado in the area, you're toast.

    I thought she said Vegeta scale instead of Fujita scale and was very taken aback. But now I think if we ever get a tornado above an F5, we must upgrade the scale and call it the Vegeta scale.
    11:45 Also, in 2015 in my city, we had a major windstorm with gusts up to 71 mph, killed 2 people and left hundreds of thousands with no power for weeks. I weighed 105 lbs at the time, maybe a little less. And while I do remember being blown about a bit, I was able to walk through the wind when it was about 60 mph without being blown off my feet. It was difficult, but I weighed nowhere near 120 lbs, so... I dunno about that one. Maybe if it had been consistent, sustained wind and not long and short gusts that eventually lowered down for a few seconds.

    • @PINTofCARLING

      I think she might be referring to somebody just standing. As you said, you were blown about a bit when walking through the wind. If you had just stopped moving and stood still, I reckon it would have been quite difficult to stay in one spot even though it would not have taken you straight to Oz.

    Actually there are circumstances where "experts" are wrong. They tell you that trying to outrun a tornado in your vehicle is the worst thing you can do, other than taking cover under an overpass.
    However, in May 1997 an F5 hit the town of Jarrell, Texas. The forward moving speed was under 9 mph when it hit a subdivision called Double Creek. Not only did it destroy that entire subdivision, it wiped it clean. One family decided to get in their vehicle and outrun the tornado. They succeeded. In fact they were one of only two families who survived the monster tornado. The other family were underground in a storm shelter. Everyone else in the footprint of the tornado were killed. It had a 100% mortality rate above ground. 27 people were killed in their homes and dismembered by the winds and debris spinning like a blender.
    It's one of the few tornadoes where its forward movement was so slow that you can actually outrun it in a vehicle if you immediately got out of its way before it actually hits.
    Also, the tornado that killed the Storm chasers in Oklahoma what's the El Reno tornado. To this day it holds the record for the widest tornado in recorded history. It's not that the El Reno tornado”changed direction.” It was 2.6 miles wide and rain-wrapped. The main condensation funnel didn't change directions at the moment the Twistex team was hit. Tim Samaras, Carl Young, and Paul Samaras were hit by a rogue sub-vortices (satellite tornado)😊. El Reno was a massive multi-vortex tornado. Many of the sub-vortices had their own windspeeds of an access of 180 mph. You can look up the path of the El Reno tornado and see that it followed a natural path of west to east/northeastward direction. They basically misjudged their location and tried to outrun it. Dan Henderson (an amateur storm chaser) was roughly ¾ a mile in front of them on the same road, and he survived by barely escaping the tornado.

    I would back you on all of these but X-Men. And only because it should not have been on the list. That probably applies to Sharknado as well. The latter isn't really meant to be taken seriously to start with and the former just as unrealistic to judge since "super heroes" are involved and again isn't meant to be taken in context to real world.
    The other movies are actually intended to be somewhat real world or real-world disaster genre and are far more fitting for the subject matter. On those I give you a 9 out of 10. Only because you did not bring up multi-vortex tornados when talking about the possibility of multiple tornados. This is actually far more common than "sister" tornados.

    Correction about 4:41. Richard Henderson was a local yokel who wanted to get a selfie with the El Reno tornado. In no way, shape, or form was he knowledgeable about any tornado, let alone a 2.6 mile wide monster. The last image on his phone was of him STANDING IN FRONT of the tornado! I'm pretty sure you know that you DO NOT DO THAT! He was killed not long after that image. He was not in his truck, he was outside.
    So please change that to three knowledgeable people were killed and one idiot. Tim, Carl and Paul were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The tornado itself did NOT change directions, they were struck by one of the sub vortices. Tim remained in his car, Paul and Carl were ejected. If you look at the track of the El Reno tornado, you can see it did not shift directions. It did not stalk Tim, his son and best friend.
