#usa #oklahoma #tornado
I'm from Oklahoma, I was traveling through these storms as they were forming outside of Weatherford and Duncan, it was scary seeing how it could go from a normal day with few clouds to being a heavy storm with the lowest clouds I seen in my life traveling the opposite way in a speed i didnt know clouds could move, and its scarier when you're surrounded by trees on a road and its raining so hard and lightening more frequently than normal and cant see of there's a tornado near by or not bc the trees block your view.
Hi,
Did the tornado reach Oklahoma?
@@J.Mulleno later that night when I was on my way back to Duncan, as I got into town, we drove through a powerful storm, you couldn't see 10 feet in front of your car driving on the high way, 40 mins later, that same storm produced a tornado and killed 4 people in sulphur Oklahoma which was just the next few towns next to where I live
That was a long line of storms along a front. We had violent storms here in Texas where I live. When I looked at the weather radar the storm extended from south of my home, all across Oklahoma, and into Arkansas, a truly massive storm. One of my cars was outside and damaged by hail. The unfortunate people of Sulfur Oklahoma had it so much worse.
Sulpher
Devastating stuff
My feeling of sadness for the physical losses in the American State of Oklahoma when the tornado passed this weekend.!
The American People can count on the support of the Angolan People in cleaning and restoring the City of Oklahoma!
So horrible, I wish everyone be safe and take care🥲❤️
I'm sorry for your loss. God bless
There is no God.

Better than US news coverage
What coverage?
Seriously though, I heard about 2 twisters in Nebraska, when did they plan on covering this havoc??
Right.
@@jakebhenry2228never. There’s a global warming crisis and they don’t want people to know.
@@darinherrick9224 Who are "they"? I mean most people who have even minimal education do know about climate change.
What a mess.
Name of the town??? RIP 🙏🏽
Sulfur,Ok
@@jasonjohnson4028 thanks peryers to all victims 🙏🏽
Pacat ,ca nu faceti casele din beton armat 🤔😪
Did they ever say the name of the town? I just heard them call it small town. Great effort?
I am hearing her say Sulfur/Sulphur as the name of the town
Sulphur
Just don't look up.
I don't understand why house in the US are not built in concrelete...they build their houses with wood, metal and plastic...if they were built in brick and concrete they would survive a tornado...
Tornadoes especially of intensity EF3 or greater are very capable of destroying brick and concrete.
In case you didn’t notice, all of those downtown buildings were brick and steel and side by side
To add to what blackhole said...wood is also a lot cheaper here since we have a huge supply, ranging from swathes of forest to tree farms in general.
The latest quote from Americans is 8000 EUR per shell.
Ukrainian land goes for 1.500 EUR per ha.
Latest package is rumored to be a loan.
That's 7 ha of land for 1 shell.
That's an offer Ukraine can't accept, whatever the circumstances.
Most of it is a loan but a majority(9 billion in total) are forgivable which means it doesn’t need to be paid back; the other amounts are also with extremely low interest attached and no determined due date so it doesn’t make since for Ukraine not to accept+they have already accepted it
@@jakebhenry2228 Any loan is fogivable as in you don't have to pay and I say yes.
@@urbansenicar81 Yeah, that’s also very true
Prayers 🙏🕊️🕊️
There is no God.
Donating money would actually do something beneficial.
Two hands at work accomplish more than a thousand clasped in prayers.
Don't worry boys... You have a mighty $$$$$... printing Machine 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks China 🇨🇳 for
- building more and more *coal-fired power plants,* and
- burning more and more *fossil fuel.*
😓😞😓😰😥😢😥😰😨
Billions to Ukraine
Good, Russia needs to be stopped before an even bigger war starts, and then its going to cost a LOT more to US if it wants to still have such massive influence in Europe.
Thoughts and prayers. 🙈
We had a tornado last year. It blew the rooftiles off and broke a window. Insurance company payed. That was it.
This was very interesting. Jehovah's Witness beliefs actually seem fairly similar in ways. Nice interview!
😭😭😭🙏🏻
Climate changed
Gonna get interesting
It’s called tornado ally for a reason
@@looking8030 lets check back in 30 years
Dorothy says hello from Oz. This is not a new phenomenon on the Great Plains. Which isn't to say that climate change isn't an actual thing, of course, because it is... it just shouldn't be blamed for every routine weather event.
Nah. Even Native Americans before Europeans arrived in the Americas, had to deal with tornadoes too. Not just those but also tropical storms and hurricanes as well.
Its wild that Americans just build their houses from straw. Huff and puff and blew their houses in.
The lack of building codes is just mind boggling, other countries routinely make it through cyclones and tsunamis uc-scathed
And modern European cookie cutter houses aren’t? Germany has tornadoes too and we have building codes, the difference is being hit by a twister is a 1/50 chance here. I wouldn’t blame the material used, it works for its purpose and especially for our harsh Great Plain winters.
@@jakebhenry2228 LOL. Cos germany is the only place on earth and needs building codes for wind.
Try Japan, Taiwan, northern Australia etc etc on the pacific rim for a start.
all of those buildings are built on an active seismic area that is not conducive to concrete. all of the buildings in the video are over 100 years old and were built at the town's founding under serious duress and lack of materials on the frontier. the US has the most advanced building codes and engineering on the planet by far. and by the way, that tornado was an f4. if i remember right that is over 200 mph winds or something like 400 kph winds.
@@curly__3 LOL thats quite a delusion you have. Everything you said is untrue. 200mph is 322 kph. Cat5 Cyclones/Tsunamis also reach 300kph, but last MUCH longer. No large quakes in Australia. You have the cheapest houses round, they would be illegal here, as the other guy pointed out you pay a quarter per square foot for construction.
@@mycosys Mate I have seen Western European and American housing, there isn’t a difference between the two when it comes to that at all(practically identical) in area of middle and upper class+our homes are much larger compared to European of similar price(in fact almost double). The only difference lies in socio-economics and even still 2 years ago you could buy a house for just 120,000 that would have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths which is great for our society which is growing in population, capital, and investment which contributes to the reason we are economically larger and the entrepreneurial superiors of whatever you would call “Western countries” which adore our movies, culture, buy our goods, and are in a demographic spiral with a intolerant society to solve that issue to boot.
You say our homes look poor, I say we have an advantage at every categorical level for such looks(which aren’t even accurate given their size relative to European housing and our building codes which are actually more regulated than your guys).
God bless the US
They must move forward to a near town and don't look back.
What do you expect from Cardboard structures? Ruines. They should adopt concrete construction.
Those were brick and steel…
Looks Gaza.
No
look u know where u live at. dont rebuild unless u build ur buildings to be tornado resistant like a concrete dome. its like not building a fire resistant qnd earthquake resistant home in northern California or a house one story above the ground in flood prone places of the USA. there are buildinfs that are built to survice tornadoes
wut?
Engrish
Idk how common you think twisters are here but they aren’t anywhere as common as a flood or an earthquake; the need for such building codes sounds more like prepping for a nuclear apocalypse than a twister(most only get to the roof at most typical) and the codes themselves are very advanced depending on the area and their time of construction.
You need a hobby
We will rebuild. And then the tornado will come again😂😂😂
Paper houses
Stop bldg thing out of wood. Use concrete and rebar.
You're thinking of 'The Three Little Pigs," a fairy tale. Tornadoes destroy even brick walls, as you can see here
@Ivartshiva brick house without colum and re-enforced concrete yes. In my country every new construction have to be able to withstand 120 mph wind. The roofs are concrete slabs. With rebar. Just incase category 5 or 6 hurricane comes.
@@Ivartshivastop making insurance companies billions of dollar with wooden house.
Smart advanced people live in the inner world while we live on the outer layer.
@@asianconnection7701
I saw a movie about this idea once. 😅 I think it was called *Logan's Run,* with Michael York.
Not one federal dime for any reason. OK is a MAGA state. Pull from their own citizens and from private charity. Keep OK away from begging for federal dollars. Be Best, OK!
Charity is extremely ineffective compared to federal aid(which is free, given the feds also take in all state debt). I mean, when was the last time you saw a charity organization rebuild an entire town of 5000 people+they are dangerous
@@jakebhenry2228 yeah exactly, thank you for making their point for them lol
I'm guessing you don't live there.
No, now that's cruel AF. No better than the MAGA people you dislike.
@@Poosley how?
What a horrible report. Gosh.
Man made disasters!!!
Tell us more
How come
You guy still building with wood, clay and sticks ???
😂
Europe doesn’t? I look at a city in Europe and I see brick and wood, not much of a different than here besides space, size, and compaction relative to the buildings around it.
As a European who has lived in the American mid-west I can say that these storms are monsters. Perhaps something built like an overground bomb shelter could hold up against one of these tornados. Otherwise they shred and scrapes off everything.
The houses were noting remains but debris: Where the storm touched down. Tye buildings where only the facades or roofs are gone: The buildings in close proximity.
Those were brick and steel…
And in typical american fashion, "We're gonna rebuild, bigger, better and at the same place!!"
Ah yes just abandon roughly 1/3 of the country because of the extremely low chance of a deadly tornado impacting you or your home.
Never go outside town and see the state of the farms and ranches.... Food production is declining so fast, it's scary!
❤
Looks like Gaza. At least they arent also being bombed as well.
What a tasteless comment.
Yeah Hamas started it all murdered innocent people and screamed all lah ak bar
Earth of God, or men .😞🥺🥺🎯@@kerstin3267
FREE PALESTINE!🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
What does Palestine have to do with tornadoes in USA?
Allah's Chastisement.😢
Well, the hotel and the church in the background stands relatively unharmed, which means they know how to build it properly. It was a beautiful town btw, hope they can use the knowledge gained in the rebuild.
No, it just means that the storm didn’t touch down where the hotel and the church stands. But perhaps was hit by debris only. The houses that are all gone: Where the tornado touched down. The houses that only has facades or roofs gone: Buildings in close vicinity to where the tornado hit. To build a house that can stand one of these storms you’d have to build one that can take a direct hit from a major bomb. That’s simply how powerful these tornadoes are. They can pick up and toss semitrailers like they were straws.
I have a feeling that the community spent a little bit more on those two buildings... Yes windshear can take down a building, but its not entirely unavoidable, remember you can fly twice as fast headwind in a jet with a few mm aluminium between you and the wind.@@abrakkehakka1357
Build concrete structures and not of bricks and sticks!
It’s Was A Historical Town, Now It’ll Be Renovated.
Mate we have no history much here in America, therefore every historical town is precious and needs to be kept out of contempt of the great glass sticks we call modern architecture. Same thing as Sulfer happened in my area in IN to the historic town of Pendleton, but that damage was minuscule compared to this!
Some tornadoes are strong enough to blow pavement off.
Haha you must sell concrete for a living.
Yeah, in general if anyone wants to see old american stuff, they better off visiting Canada. In Alberta every second town looks like this. I like this utilitarian architecture.
The tornado even flatten the video commentary work.
I think it reach even the editor and hiring dept.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why do Americans keep build their houses out of cardboard?!
Not all Americans - Oklahoma prioritizes profit over safety in many ways.
@@realnowheregirlLet me guess, we need big government to force all homes to build out of stone, and when the prices rise because of this change, we are going to need big government to force the prices down?
Why do you ask about silly lies?
I wouldnt come with this big government speech before these poor bastards turn to the big government to rebuild their town.@@alphariusomegon4819
@@realnowheregirl source?
We need to change how we rebuild in these areas, should be earthships everywhere. And multi stories underground.
If they did rebuild using earthship tech they could use the rubble from the old buildings.
Time for another aid package for Ukraine and 10% for big guy
they havent even touched Hawaii yet
Karma?
Geoengineering
They need Jesus.
There is no God.
God is dead.
@@myboysd5772 there is boo boo, you need to check your facts.
@@bobbydennis8333 let's just hope he won't see you talking like that or he gone be pissed.
@@HOXHOXHOX Wait! Wait! There is no God.
Expect no help from Biden administration
My heart with the victims. Now Americans feel how to feels to be in Gaza which is lynched with American money.
Oi, those of us that pay attention are very against it(it’s difficult to do so as a society however given the world is far away from us and we have the luxury of only really needing to be worried what is happening here relative to anywhere else)
Biden has a new home for you UKRAINE
Why peoples keep building and living where there is danger of such things???
Does this town look new? Think before you speak. God bless
Why still wanna stay there ?? Every year are u gonna rebuild the town again ??!!
You overestimate how many times this happens to a specific area a year.
