Moore Oklahoma EF-5 Tornado Video! 5/20/13

- Our full length video from Moore Oklahoma on 5/20/13. Video starts from SW 164th St. looking west/southwest at the fully condensed stovepipe tornado. We then drive up to Pennsylvania Ave. where we stop and film some more after the tornado had transformed into a 1/4 to a 1/2 mile wide wedge tornado. We then drive north to SW 134th/4th St. and head east on it to the intersection of it and S Western Ave. where the video resumes in front of The Crown Center. I then run across the street and film a little there to get a better angle. There is a white Chevrolet pickup driving past me that my partner had just spoken with that lives right where the tornado was going through just south of the intersection of Southwestern and 134th/4th St. He had told my partner that he had heard about the storm and went down the street to check to see if they were in the path or safe. He also mentioned that his children were still home. The tornado ended up being to close by the time he had seen it to make it back to his house safely. We still to this day do not know the outcome of his situation. I would love to learn that the whole family had survived maybe just being in the outer circulation. At this moment, it is also making a direct hit on the Orr family farm. Once we started driving again we travel east on 134th/4th St. and we end up having our closest encounter with the monster of the day. At this point, you can hear a distinct roar coming from it as I am telling my partner to back up as it starts to widen and is also directly over the Briarwood Elementary school at this time. We let it get east just a bit and then proceed to following again. As we come to a stop after passing through Sante Fe Avenue you can hear it once again still doing damage. At this time it is directly over Plaza Towers Elementary and is seconds from a direct hit on the Moore Medical Center. May god be with the families involved in this traumatic experience and may the recovery process be quick and successful.

I love how police follow the tornado with sirens like they're going to arrest it lol
@Quartz Universe no way. Don't ruin it for my imagination. I would much rather they try to arrest it.
The tornado smelled like marijuana
😂
Hit and run! Vandalism by willful destruction of property! Battery with intent to cause physical harm. Acts of criminal mischievous and reckless endangerment! Bad tornado, bad boy! You’re going downtown! Wait... No, no, no, downtown. Don’t go downtown. You’re free to go someplace else!
@@1scarewolf 😂😭😂😭😂😭 LOL
If it looks like the tornadoes staying still and not moving, there’s a good chance it’s coming right towards you.
@MR FREEZE-98 I was about to type that same thing lol! That one sucked I listened to to the weather man to get away and got myself in the outer edge of it. I just left work before it touched down and it hit my job on highway 66.
Kenna Roach exactly!
No it's getting away!!
@@AntonioRamirez-hi3ym if it looks like it's staying still, there are 3 options: it's actually staying still, it's moving away from you or it's coming directly for you. just assume it's option 3 and gtfo.
He is right tho
Does the tornado not move left or right or doesn't become smaller, it is coming towards you
I can't believe how black the sky was at one point, that's just insanely scary!
why do you think the cops are there? /s
@@Blue-jn1ph ok
cool
@@brandon7219 hehe so funny grow up
@@MrAjking808 you mad?
Most terrifying day of my life. I lived right behind Moore Highschool and the tornado barely missed the school. So many of my friends lost their homes and so many children past away. Sad day.
هل أنت بخير اتمنى ان تكون بخير
This was a horrible day for me. I was in school crammed into a hallway with people throwing up all around me and the floors were soaked due to people sweating. It missed us but when we got released the after math around us was horrendous. I’ll never forget this day. Tornados are terrifying
I was among one of the army units that got activated to come help with SAR. The aftermath was horrible. I still have some of the pictures I took
I'm always surprised that we hear so few accounts of PTSD, etc., due to these horrific events. Survivors of tornadoes certainly fit the criteria for post traumatic stress but we, and content creators, only seem to be focused on the tornado itself, not on the people suffering through this horror.
I couldn't imagine experiencing something like this without it affecting my life.
Yeah they sure are but you got folks who make jokes about them though.
I am about to throw up just watching this : /
@rolandmiller5456 which is utterly pathetic
The fact that this tornado hit 2 elementary schools straight on and most of the fatalities were kids is just... Heartbreaking honestly...
Wow that's terrible, prayers for all the families. Such a sad thing to hear
@@JB-yj8sxthe tri state tornado of 1925 leveled 4 schools in 3 states. It's like it was aiming for them. Tornados hate education and mobil homes.
I blame that on the mayor of the city you’ live in tornado alley and your not ready for storms like this? Smh
@@robertstone9988my great grandmother lived just outside murphysboro and went in to try and help after she saw the wood flying around the backend of the tornado. She said it was all gone. Children’s bodies were mangled and tossed around Logan school. The trauma of watching a kid walk across the dirt road in the rain crying with half his arm bent horribly, coupled with the fires of the coal mill nearby that killed her neighbors was terrible. She only told us bits and pieces before she passed. The fact she said the only time she ever got PTSD from it was from seeing pictures of villages in Vietnam bombed always got me.
I remember watching it live. I couldn’t stop crying for those poor kids.
Storm chaser: "Don't go no further."
Driver: Goes further.
@Bradley C Price I have a question for you have you ever seen a tornado 🌪
In person I’m just wondering ok 👌
Dude lol 😂. Stay safe out there during the COVID-19 ok 👌 Dude
Too many idiots!
omg i was thinking the same thing! this guy needs a new driver..
It was a double negative. So the driver was just following orders to go further.
I mean, it was a double-negative anyway.
To see it up close on a YT video I guarantee you is nothing like to see it in person. I bet its the most surreal thing ever. We appreciate yall.
It definitely is. It’ll make the hairs on your body stand up.
you cant even get a sniff of the reality on a video.... am sure its absolutely surreal and the power you feel from even a good distance away has to be insane, nowhere else do you get a sensation to compare against
Probably not. Lightning strikes and thunder are spectacularly weak in videos compared to in person so I can't imagine a tornado.
This is the first video I’ve ever seen that gave me an accurate sense of the scale of an EF5 wedge in relation to a house or neighborhood. Even in the distance, that thing looked gargantuan. But at the point where you started backing up, it was like standing in front of a giant, about to crush the neighborhood. This is the first video that gives me a visual reference that conveys the true “mile wide” enormity of the funnel. The video was shot at angles that made it feel like being there.
This was truly awesome. And terrifying.
THANK YOU!!!
9/10 makes you feel like batman
It was 1.3 miles at its widest and caused EF4 damage at that size. Now when narrowed a little bit to 3/4-1 mile-wide it caused EF5 damage. Some neighborhoods looked like they were literally erased.
Yeah I agree. The people seen recording it are lucky it didn't bolt their way.
Go watch Pecos hank el reno tornado , that ones was over 2.5 miles wide.
@@TheHomelander1234 das an ef3
What I always find interesting about massive wedge EF4-5 tornadoes is how subtle the funnels seem to spin. Some smaller tornadoes reveal their violent rotation much more clearly, where the larger (and deadlier) wedge ones seem to conceal their ultra-violent spins inside a thickness of slower-moving outer funnels and debris clouds. RIP to all who were lost to this monster.
What I notice on the EF 4-5's is that the visible wind/debris goes UP the tornado instead of Around the tornado. You can see it in several of the shots here
@@353Chaos353I'm guessing since it's just a bigger tornado, it's gonna have bigger lift
*F3 *F4 *F5
@@Firemarioflowerthe Fujita scale was updated in 2007 to the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Tornadoes have been EF rated ever since.
@@NOVELBITES Only in Murica. It's a downgrade and doesn't make sense. I still use the Fujita Scale as older tornadoes are not rated EF so why should new ones from 2007 onwards? The scale is so erratic....
how can F3 storms suddenly get category 4 and 5 ratings, and F2 storms category 3? Also why is the base for F0 higher? Doesn't work
You represent the middle ground of storm chasers. In between the shaky cam and screaming of the Dominator crew, and the steady cam near silence of Pecos Hank
Love Pecos Hank!!
@@gracegonzales9208 same. His videos are exceptional
Grace Gonzales I like him as well!!! I’m subscribed to him!!!😀
Idk hard to top Hank....he gets some of the best shots
Because Pecos Hank has worked solo most of the time. He does get the best shots, and Val Castor and his wife are great too. They work for Channel 9 in Oklahoma, chasing tornadoes and reporting back to the News station. They do great work to save as many lives as possible.
I was in this tornado disaster 10 years ago; this EF-5 monster missed my office building by just 1 kilometer!
Wow. Your lucky!! Half a mile is close.
Why wouldn't you say half mile??? Makes me think your a foreigner or phony
@@StormChaserMaci.A kilometer is 1000 metres
A mile is ~1600 metres

Storm chasers have nerves of steel. To all the families of Moore O.K. that survived and the people that passed away, God bless you all.
Except the inbred folks.
Professional storm chasers hired by the weather channels fine. But idiots running around and getting in the way is dangerous!!!
Thank you
I was four when it happened, I never saw the tornado but I saw cardboard looking debris whenever we were driving away from it. I don’t remember anything else
@@sjbutler2330probably watched Twister one time to many.😮
Hi people looking for the cons of moving to Oklahoma. Just make sure you've got a shelter, channel 9 and a deck of cards. -Oklahoma dweller
MemeCentral Yep this couldn’t be more true
Amen
Fox23 news
A more realistic con to moving to Oklahoma is that it's Oklahoma
What are the cards for?
It's always nice to watch a storm chase video where the crew acts professional. Not like the fools on the weather channel that scream "DEBRIS!!!" at the top of their lungs when a plastic bag blows by.
that would be Reed of the Dominator crew
GET IN THERE, ACTIVATE CANONS, BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP, GET IN THERE, DEPLOY, BACK UP
they would be like 50ft from the tornado
Yeah. Is it bad before we knew the information me and my late papaw were so happy it didn't hit a Furs Buffet. Even though guy half my aunts house was gone.
I hate it how every news station freaks out about the smallest things.
+Rammstein45 this is my new favorite comment
Reed's a fucking idiot.
I can't believe it's already been 10 years since it happened. It was the last day of my sophomore year in high school when the tornado came around! So tragic!😞
I was there the day it happened. I haven't forgotten this tornado or the wonderful town of Moore.
"What's an F5 like?"
"....finger of god..."
Have any of you... Ever seen one?
@@MTDfilms only one of us
Dont blame God

Not true. The devil does.
This might be some of the best audio of a tornado roar I've ever heard.
That is exactly how it sounded
How about this one, even better:

Prayers to those who lost loved one's in this tragic and terrible Twister.
The good (but still sad) thing is that only 24 people died, 9 of which were children 😭 it’s a miracle no one else died
'Only 24'? That's bad enough. Even 1 dying is horrific. I hope they learned from this trafedy and try to come up with more safer methods in bringing the death toll to zero.
One can only hope they were shedded to bits quickly, rather than slowly crushed to death.
Amen
@Zack you can’t prove that nor prove he does. My statement is truer than yours
As someone who was in this, it sounded like the gates of hell opening. I also was 3 so I don’t remember much else, other than when we got out of the shelter, the sky was all orange, no other colors, and it was wet everywhere. We were lucky to live in a storm chaser’s house with a bunker, and the tornado didn’t destroy our house.
The Last thing I want to see during an EF4/EF5 tornado.
: A trailer park 😧
Trailerparks are the last thing I want to see anyway.
yeah i saw that too, and thought don't park there!!!
@@skatatataatje Okay princess.
@Mark Coleman That's where you're wrong kiddo.
Car lot is worse!!!!

@Guydreamr it was rain wrapped and debris wrapped
Jay Davis my dad was there for that
I say. It's darker than the asphalt on the road.
guydreamr it looks like a sharpie tf
But it gets darker than that at night!
J/K, that was really dark lol.
Wow..... so wide and rain wrapped you can barely see the rotation. Having survived the F4 tornado in Rowlett Tx back in 2015 I can ensure that the people going through this storm definitely had a lot of heart. Respect and love to those who were lost.
It was actually debris wrapped. The debris ball on radar was massive.
@@se777en73120 I got to see a funnel cloud ☁️ spinning near my house 🏡 dude but the tornado 🌪 didn’t touch the ground ok 👌 Dude in October 8 2020 dude lol 😂
The Joplin tornado was heavily rain wrapped and you can see why so many died in Joplin. Plus it did not help how close the tornado touchdown close to Joplin, they literally had no time to take shelter.
Rowlett aint nothing buddy 😂
It's one of the best videos of a tornado. Seeing something so massive. That no one can control is beyond scary. My only complaint. Have a driver that listens. 💯
This was a devastating day for us here, in Oklahoma. Moore is my home town and I now live about 5 miles from there. So many lives were lost that day. Children were killed. Teachers were killed protecting children. One teacher was pregnant. She and her baby died that day. I was in a panic, as I did not know if my grandchildren (twins) were in the shelter by the time this hit, until about 10 minutes after the tornado hit. I THANK GOD they were already in the shelter. I just cannot describe the devastation we went through, while still living in Moore,. May 3. 1999 was bad enough but this one was even worse. We are expecting tornados this coming Tuesday, April 26th, 2016. I have a very, very bad feeling about it... I pray people are prepared and ready to get to their shelter BEFORE the sirens sound, as by then we only have a few minutes.. Please, if you live in the areas the tornados are predicted to hit, just STAY HOME that day, keep your children, loved ones and pets close to you and ready to go into the closest shelter possible. Have a few days worth of survival supplies for your family and pets. Remember to take any medications into the shelter with you and anything else you may need in case you are trapped. Register your shelter NOW so the police, fire department and EMSA will know your location.. Just praying my gut feeling for Tuesday is wrong...
I wanna see a tornado in real life but I hope no one dies I live in Nebraska so there's been warnings but no tornados I'm sorry to hear :(
+julie wagoner The Lord took those people a little sooner. He works in mysterious ways. God bless our Christ and Savior!
D5quared91 Yes, God does work in very mysterious ways. It was so heart breaking to see the little children being buried over the next several days. My heart broke and still breaks for those children's parents. I do know they are in heaven with Jesus and no more sorrow, pain or tears shall befall upon them. The worst part was when that group, West borough thought it was okay to protest at the funerals of the children and all others, while holding signs that said, 'They are burning in hell" and things of that nature. I thank God our governor made it illegal for them to be anywhere near the funeral services for 2 hours before and two hours after each service. The people, here, in Oklahoma, really came together and formed human blockades to prevent any disturbances. i just do not understand how that group goes around the country doing such things when people pass away, especially little children. I do know that God will hold them accountable for their actions... He IS our Lord and Savior!!!!
A friend of mine grew up in Moore, lived in Oklahoma the first F5 that hit in 1999. Her parents house survived the first two F5's and lost their house in this one. They never returned back to Oklahoma after that. Can't say I blame them. I grew up in tornado alley myself, never once saw a major tornado or had one even strike near me. In 2011 the outbreak on the east coast, I experienced my first major tornado, an EF3 formed and went through my backyard. The train sound you hear is so very true, it destroyed a Lowes store 15 minutes away. I live in NC now, here you think about hurricanes possibly, not major and deadly tornados.
WickedlyMe328 I am thankful they survived that awful day. I do not blame them for moving and never returning. I am thankful you survived the 2011 outbreak. Yes, the tornados sound exactly like a train that is literally about to take out you house and possibly take your life. I know the hurricanes can be just as destructive but at least there is usually enough warning for people to get to away. I just hate the destruction that comes with both the tornados and the hurricanes..I am certain it was VERY terrifying when you did experience your first tornado. So many people think it would "be cool" to see one. They just don't realize what they are asking for....
6:24 "Welcome to Moore" on the sign. Thought that was a cool shot with the tornado in the background.
Michael Ross ........wicked tornado......but they should have filmed from a stationary location..........that would have eliminated that moving car / microphone wind noise..and then one would be able to hear that frightening rumble/roar of the vortex......but thanks for your courage and for the upload......
john mcclintock You could do that if the tornado were stationary, but it isn't. You have to keep moving to keep up with it.

I live in the country and we had a tornado that almost completely touched down earlier this year. I woke up outta a dead sleep and could hear it in the woods. The woods had been brush burned so there were spaces between the trees and it sounded like thousands of wild animals running through the forest all at one time 😩
Oh that sound probably haunts you. Geez.
Coming from an actual citizen of Oklahoma City it normally never gets this bad. This surprised us as much as it did everyone else.
It normally does get pretty ugly in April and May…the city doesn’t really get tornadoes, but the suburbs do. Moore is ground zero for tornadoes. Tornadoes are not rare occurences for central Oklahoma.
@@snuffedtorch3683 This type of Tornado is not common. No matter where you are. Moore 2013 was the last EF5 in the country, and it's been almost 10 years.
My home was lost in this tornado. It was on 6th, & Telephone.. I could see the medical center from my front porch. My 8 yr old was in Plaza Towers.. Luckily, she came out unharmed. Although it was traumatic for my family, we were blessed that so many strangers stepped up to help. I now live just 8 blocks south from where we lost everything.. Some ask me why I choose to stay in Moore, it's simple.. Because it's home. God bless Moore, Oklahoma
Amen. It's always going to be home, too. Moore Strong.
You guys *have* to be tough souls...personally I'm not sure if I could bear the pain of losing everything, but home is definitely home. God bless you guys and I hope nothing ever happens like this again, and if it does, that everyone will be safe and not a single fatality will ever result. Homes can be replaced, people cannot. Be safe out there.
sucks for u
nah, jk must suck tho
oh god bless u lady
Home can be anywhere. God Bless!

About 2 hours before the tornado touched down, I was in labor with my first baby and by the time it lifted, I was holding my daughter.
And now she's 8 years old.

This was a horrible day for all of Oklahoma this is the reason why I moved out of moore Oklahoma if it have not turned I would not be here today everytime spring rolls around I get anxious
I feel you on that! Just storms in general now. I used to be fascinated by them till one hit my job in El Reno like 2007 out of nowhere no warning I barely got back in the building when it went dark and you could hear it crunching like a can and hear metal wobbling thru the air along with ceiling tiles popping and insulation all over. Every spring now is full of anxiety and then I feel better towards the later side of summer if storms hit.

this was the one of the worse days of my life. I remember it like it was yesterday. just 3 blocks from my house if I went any further north than my house would be gone. it hit my sisters school and almost killed her. it was my mom's birthday. our back porch umbrella was two streets over and on someone's roof. there were school lockers in my neighbors driveway. there were military personnel lining the street for looters. we didn't have power for a week and a half. I remember there being food stations in parks and at churches. we were at one getting food and water for dinner. I got a hotdog and crackerjacks. then all of the sudden airforce one flies right over us. it was crazy. you could see a line from the park 8 miles to the theater. it was crazy.
zorg gaming school should have been closed that day. 😡
alieninvaider could you imagine the kids at home clueless as to what to do as the tornado drove through the neighborhood. I lived in Moore when this happened and the kids were safer at school than at home.
Pointless Videos that is why parents need to show their kids what to do when something like that happens. The school hallway is a wind tunnel when it comes to bad weather and all the classrooms are facing an outside wall. So no school is safe.
alieninvaider my school has a storm shelter. But so does my house. Many parents don't teach there kids what to do in a situation like this but they should.
Pointless Videos I think all schools should have to have a storm shelters it should be a law. Parents should teach their kids what to do in a situation like this.

Kosmo Khaos imagine watching it in real time. Thank god I lived just half a mile outside of town but it was just enough distance watch it hit the town it destroyed my elementary school I went to as a kid. I remember the building that getting get torn up were covered in mud everything was covered in mud I remember driving by the hospital and there was a pile of cars stacked up cuz the cars were getting lifted but some were not high enough yet to scale the wall of the hospital so they just piled up in front of it. Piles of dead livestock everywhere that was the worst not only did the tornado hit the Orr family farm but it also hit a horse farm! A farm that only had horses in talking like 300 died people were finding there horses in radon spots some alive some dead some in agonizing pain the train sound and sirens u will never forget
Kosmo Khaos sane here
I was on a freight train in KS during an EF-3 tornado. We were riding a grain carand sided out in bfe 30 miles outside of Marysville KS, my scanner gave an alert for a Tornado inbthe area, so we bailed off and got into a DPU(Unmanned Locomotive in the middle of the train) thankfully it was unlocked, we loaded in there and within seconds it hit, saw tree fly right onto the grain car we were riding! Talk about a close call! Thank you Union Pacific for leaving the Locomotive unlocked, yall literally saved our lives!

You don't have to turn around. Just beep your horn at the tornado and it will move out of your way.

Police understand he was trying to get out of the way. The police are usually being directed where to go by state Gov. And weather service. The sirens also warn people if they cant hear the general sirens being sounded
Also the guy is barking orders & navigayes them upclose to the tornado..... THEN wants him to back up....... hpow bout go ahead & turn around & watch it out the back windown or whatever but atleast ou will be able to get out of there fast, not backing up swerving around with traffic around and 15mph

Moore and El Reno tornado made me cry watching it live on here. It was truly a deverstating thing to witness and I'm from the UK. I shit myself over a thunderstorm.

Always stay safe and I wish you all safety ❤
This is one of the best tornado videos i've seen. Especially at 6:05 - this looks so surreal: the dark, the winds, the debris, the roar.... It looks like a scene out of this world.
Tornadoes have to be one of the most terrifying natural disasters out there
An F-5 is grinding it's way through the town & Moore, Oklahoma.... residents just continue driving like, no big deal?!
As tornado alley residents they’re probably used to it but also likely trying to get to shelter cause your car can get picked up.
@@ebbykayyc8442 Oklahoma is a great & beautiful state! I'm glad I don't live there because it's the heart of tornado alley!
I live in Okla & I kinda like it fresh air & open spaces, all 4 seasons of weather
Not boring that’s for sure
For 10-15 minutes prior to it's arrival in Moore the media was telling people (accurately) they could not survive above ground, and if they could not get underground to get out of its way. That is why so many cars.
@@cmerton I've always heard on the Weather Channel to not get into a car to outrun a tornado?
I don't see how something so beautiful and astonishing can be so devistating
I am from Ontario Canada and never saw a tornado in my life. Only on video or TV. They look terrifying and I don't know why people chase after them!!!
Canada has tornados. Even had one EF5
They study them.
To understand the science behind them. To make better warning systems and find out how to build houses and shelters better. Spotters help notify people as to where the tornado is and when to take shelter. They help by calling into the national weather service to gets warnings out to civilians in the path. Not a job for the faint of heart, for sure, but they're doing it for a good cause. We need the data and videos to help prevent more fatalities in the future. A nobel and dangerous cause. Some are just thrill seekers but most just have a passion for the science and wonderment of these storms. A lot of them go to university and are meteorologist or engineers. Again, just trying to make things better for the world.
Chuck King its fun
You have the best work in the world
06:20 "Welcome to Moore!"
No thanks I don't want to die especially if tornadoes that size like to visit Moore I'll stay at home.
@@donaldcountryman3546 it's the biggest tornado they've received in decades so you'll be fine as long as you have a cellar.
Gamer X Tay what? Moore has famously been hit with 2 F5s in the last 20 years
I dont get hit I live in cleveland county my house is in a perfect place
@@TheLocalLt Which is 2 decades.... 🤦🤦🤦🤦
It gets crazy here in Oklahoma during spring time...
ooh, Invite me
Savage Sooner sure does
@@Tc-rn8lh hey 👋 there have you ever seen a tornado 🌪 in person I’m just wondering ok 👌 dude lol 😂
White Chevy is absolutely insistent on being in the shot LOL
1:40 aka the one time when you wish the thumbnail was clickbait and it wasn’t. 😱 That thing was huge.
Be quiet mikaela fox
@@mikaelafox6106 i just realized something i said be quiet you weren't talking you were typing i feel dumb right now 😂😂😂😂
max lol don’t feel dumb. Is it silly that I knew exactly what you meant with regards to talking vs typing? 🤔 I actually was a bit confused by you telling me to be quiet. 😂 Anyway, these videos are actually a good way to know what one of these things sounds like. I just had a storm roll through, complete with alternating winds and some pretty chunky hail, and all I could think was “I hope this won’t turn into some rain wrapped tornado shit.” I’m glad it didn’t. I’ll watch tornado videos on UA-cam. I don’t want to experience it first-hand! 🙏
@@mikaelafox6106 i kinda want to i never seen a tornado in person before but im in a town were tornados are rare and if they form its weak ones
max I also wouldn’t mind seeing one, just not where I live. There had been a couple of weak ones that did come near in the past ten years or so, and I’m okay with weak ones. There are companies that offer storm chasing tours. They’re definitely not cheap though!
Really shouldn’t be watching these videos while it’s storming outside... yet here I am. 🤦♀️
sketchywolff same
I think what made this tornado even worse was how far away you could see it coming and then you realize all that's in it's path. I can imagine praying it would dissipate or weaken before reaching the schools , businesses and all the residential areas but if anything it just got stronger. It looked and sounded like a monster.
Jesus. Ive watched this numerous times over the years and it never gets not terrifying. What a dark nasty beast of a tornado dude.
Wow.
I have a question for you have you ever seen a tornado 🌪 in person I’m just wondering ok 👌 dude lol 😂
4:30... About the only time a cop won't pull you over for going in reverse on a main road in the US. Giant fucking tornado? Yeah drive around in reverse all day I don't care.
We just had one in my hometown bridge creek, OK yesterday and my dad did the same thing. The cops were booking it out of there too. We ran the stop sign and everything. It was so scary.
RobSchneiderIsAStapler no my dad got fined
Years ago trying to outrun a tornado in Texas we had a few tractor trailers rolling about 90. Cop told us on the radio either park now or gas on it if you can. We ran like bats out of hell for about 50 miles before we found another state trooper that was clearly not enthused with our speed. Apparently he felt we were far enough away from the tornado at that point.
@@mattmoschkau84 That’s shitty, for sure.
@@presidentsad7217 That sucks lol... I guess it depends on the officer.
Mother Nature is so deadly, yet so beautiful at the same time.
WOW! Incredible how dark it was close to the tornado. It almost looked like night.
Physics is pretty amazing!
I'll take an earthquake over one of these terrifying monsters, any day. I grew up in the Midwest and still have nightmares about tornados!
Have you BEEN in an earthquake?
@@pamelaleigh4225 i grew up in cali and have been through a 7.3 earthquake trust me earthquakes are litteraly nothing
@@supremeelmo485 Oh, yes, I live in L.A. Having been through both, I think earthquakes are much scarier. Nowhere to go. I just doubted that John D. had been in one.
@@supremeelmo485 I've never been through tornado, but I've been through earthquake not long time ago and I can say its very scary, but I agree, tornados are more scary
@@pamelaleigh4225 i live in texas now and ive been on like 3 tornado watchs and i would much rather deal with the ground shaking then be sucked up by spinning air lol
It's always, "we got a violent tornado", as if there's other tornado's that are friendly and less aggressive.
There are though, this is an EF-5 one of the most violent and destructive tornados on the scale. And you can see that it passes through a town, where as an EF-1 or an EF-0 pass through open fields with little to no damagez
Well...I watched a F-2 land in the field across from my house & it kicked up alot of dirt & grass clippings from a bush hog! Thank the Lord my house wasn't flattened!
You have leaves tossed F1 vs a mile wide flattened cleared path F5.
F-0 and F-1 tornadoes are “friendly” it can still kill though not likely. They are no where near as violent as F-4 and F-5
Every once and a while God reaches down and let's you know he's still here. 🙏
As someone who lives in oklahoma, I can say this is like a monthly occurance to us,we get so many tornadoes here. Once we had tornadoes for 2 weeks straight and would wake up to tornadoes at 2-4 am.
Why do you live there?
@@Gbr4life35 as long as you stay indoors and watch the weather forecast, you’ll be fine haha.
@@jn4898 unless your house is in it's path
That’s total BS. This is not a run of the mill tornado. Most of our tornadoes can blow a roof off at most.
@@Gbr4life35 because it’s a nice place to live. It’s quiet and not crowded. There’s a reason not to live somewhere no matter where you go.
I live to this day in one of the neighborhoods in this video. Watching this almost 8 years later still brings back the memories. The people that were here during this still and will always have a true connection.
I remember this day. We were at my daughter dress rehearsal and it was coming towards us. The news said if you are not underground than it could be very fatal. Scariest moment of my life because we were in a auditorium bathroom. Thank God it lifted before it got to us.
How terrifying that must have been for this town that had one of the worst tornadoes in history in 1999. I know this happened 3 years ago, but my heart goes out to the town of Moore and all the families that lost their loved ones and property.
Top Five Storm Chaser Hysterics:
1) Debris! Debris!
2) It’s OWN the ground!!!
3) I got it ALL on video!
4) Slow down/back up!!!
5) The Cleveland Browns are going to the Super Bowl-look out!!!
U guys are soooooo brave...I'm almost having a panic attack just watching this from a cell phone in Brooklyn NY
It’s really been 12 years since we had An EF5 it’s a blessing and a curse
No it hasn't, its been 12 years since they actually rated a tornado EF5 instead of EF4. EF5's have happened since that. Vilonia, Rochelle, Mayfield, Greenfield, Rolling Fork, Matador, and El Reno were all easily EF5 strength
This was the scariest moment in my life, i was hiding in a sewer like thing to hide.
I was about 30 min ahead of this driving back home to Wisconsin, from Texas. I was absolutely terrified. I’ll never forgot that drive
I remember this like it was yesterday. And i get anxiety watching it again. This was a crazy day.
That twister is so big and black the entire Kardashian clan is moving to ok
Tom D RUDE
@@erinstein3078
Lighten up will you.
Why, how did our country become so Verbally sensitive. Lighten up Francis
I'm black and I found it funny
@@dharrison365
I'm glad man because it's definitely not meant to be taken seriously lol. Some folks look at everything as a potential insult. Look it's just a fact that the whole family likes black guys. Nothing wrong with that. So I don't think it's a "stretch" to say these twister videos might circulate their group chats provoking a move to ok. All in fun.
If I saw this in person I would be shitting bricks right on the spot!
Watching this brings back some memories when we lived in Kansas for 5 yrs. It is very scary when you experienced tornadoes all around you. I cry when i see these videos for the people going thru this at that time. Cause you know how dangerous these things can be.
That is one big tornado 🌪
I know right that is one Big tornado 🌪
I saw the funnel funnel cloud spinning near my house 🏡 but the tornado 🌪 didn’t touch the ground dude soo it was my very 1st time seeing a funnel cloud ☁️ spinning near my house dude
The police. LMAO
"Put your hand up where I can see 'em. We've got the place surrounded. You're behavior is spinning out of control, Tornado."
Lindsay Boswell THE PUN! NOO! AHH 😂
We need backup! Our current situation is spinning out of control!
Stormycat77 I shouldn't laugh at this but man 🤣🤣🤣
Passed out laughing
"You're" completely takes me out of the joke. It's called spell check... or knowledge, whichever applies to you.
I live in a part of the country that doesn't get many tornadoes. When we do, they are usually rather weak and out in the middle of a field. So, this kind of storm intrigues me yet terrifies me at the same time....
This tornado was a whole different breed of tornado entirely. This storm was the worst I've EVER seen & I won't forget the sight of it as it came into Moore. It haunts me to this day over a decade later. This tornado was my 2nd EF5 tornado as a chaser. First one was the record breaker that nailed Joplin in 2011.
I heard the name of the trailer park is called..."Death Wish trailer park"
Cedar Lake Mobile Home Park.
600 SW 134th St, Oklahoma City, OK
Everyone gangsta untill the tornado comes right in front of you
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Had that tornado came right for them, I don't think they would have been able to hide and trying to get inside one of those buildings would have been too difficult. Basically, they would have been screwed.
I watch a few of these, and watching today on the 10 year anniversary, I don't know that I've ever heard the tornado itself over the inherent wind noise at the camera and microphone. But two times in this video, I clearly heard it. Thank you for the upload. God bless the people of Moore.
Lord help me 😕 there is a huge opportunity that there is a tornado tomorrow in Oklahoma and I don’t want to be near it 😭plz pray for everyone one near me
Hope you’re okay!!!
Mikaela Fox I am actually! Me and my friend live in el Reno where it happened and we saw it but we were safe !
Sister Lindzz Thank goodness!!! I couldn’t live in tornado alley without a really awesome storm shelter! You guys are brave!! Hope you all have a safe spring/summer!
Mikaela Fox thank you so much your so sweet!
Sister Lindzz ☺️🙂
Meu Deus. A natureza é assustadora e ao mesmo tempo linda
Ese rotación...
Lol the pick up truck was like "eh, my wifes scarier..."
I was in the Moore area in 99’ when that tornado went through, and this tornado was said to be even worse. A lot of people don’t realize how bad this tornado really was.
I SURVIVED!!! by living in georgia at the time that this was recorded
holy shit xD
Amanda Laci So very difficult :-) jk
close shave
+Danny Smith Yup
I did survive In one it was an Ef5
People in Connecticut when they see a gray cloud: Run for your lives
People in Oklahoma when they see an ef5: casually say to them self’s “ah a normal Tuesday night”
That's a bit of an exaggeration
Don’t joke about this.
I’m just wondering have you ever been inside a of a tornado 🌪 just wondering I hope 🤞 you have a great 👍 lol 😂
When Oklahoma sees snow they shit n piss and shut down the whole state.
It seems like people here in Oklahoma are either scared shitless of 'em or they turn into amateur storm chasers. I've never really seen an in between. And that's NOT an exaggeration.
The sound of that tornado in this and other vids is incredible
As bad as this is... You for have to appreciate The courageous efforts to storm trackers as well as first responders!!! Helped saved many people!
I remember that day, I was in elementary school in first grade and we had an awards ceremony that day but we all had to take shelters with our families in the bathroom. The tornado was coming right for our school but then suddenly turned around and hit a different school not too far away from my school. My heart goes out to the families of the deceased children.
What a big EF5 tornado! :o
I'm studying weather! ;)
You won't be that excited once youre in the path of one
@@fallendust3279 yeah! True!
@@earthexperiments1947 No you'll be even more excited!
People in Ohio do the same thing.
"Tornado? Cool, let me grab a beer first."
Haha yep ur right bout tht.
Thts how floridians r with hurricanes. I used to live in Ohio and moved to Florida
Lol at all the people gassing up with the nado 2 miles away.
