There's a reason they call a F5 tornado "the hand of god". The tri state tornado had a path 1.5 miles wide 80 miles long. Where there was nothing left but dirt.
My sister was driving us home from school during a really bad storm. I can remember her yelling "Oh crap, I think that's a tornado". I replied, "I see it". Then I realized we were looking out different sides of the car. Luckily they were both a decent distance away and didn't hit us directly but it was still terrifying.
This reminds me of when my mom and I were visiting family friends in Colorado. We had gone to the zoo and friend took a look out a window and said "we have to go". We were confused but left. She told us when we got back to her house that she saw signs of a tornado and we being from California, just saw overcast skys.
@@Fmanzo10 Potentially. Everything around it for a couple hundred miles, and then downwind from it for thousands of miles would probably result in massive casualties in the range of 100 million or more people in the USA alone
It's technically a caldera but yeah, the Yellowstone caldera is classified as a super volcano but it's of no real threat. It's not due to pop for hundreds of thousands of years. Mt. Rainier in Washington is a much more present, albeit smaller, threat, especially if the well overdue super quake in the Cascadia subduction zone decides to finally go off.
Tornados are now classified on the EF (Enhanced Fujita) scale, instead of the F (Fujita) scale. All previous tornados have been reclassified if they would now fall in a different category.
Hi James and Millie, I am from Illinois, and we learned in school that the great Chicago fire was started when a women named Mrs. O’Leary was milking her cows, and one of the cows kicked over a lantern and it caught the barn on fire, and since the weather in Chicago had been hot and dry and since most of the buildings in the city were built out of wood at the time, the fire spread rapidly throughout the city. The only buildings that survived were the few that were built out of stone, most famously, the city water tower building, and the water pumping station building located next to it. Both of those buildings are still standing today and can be visited as tourist attractions.
Actually Mrs O'leary's cow was a fabrication by news reporters at the time and she was posthumously exonerated by Illinois government folks in the 1990s
Being from Florida, we get probably 10 hurricanes on average per year ( i think 😬) . Most are like a really intense thunderstorm. But I've lived through 5 CAT 3 , 2 CAT 4, and 2 CAT 5s 😳. We have hurricane parties during most , but the CAT 4 or 5 we definitely hunker down. 😅 A category 5 is no joke and if you don't live in a concrete block home you should definitely go to a shelter.
I was just about to say most of this lol. FL is built to withstand these things without so much damage now, but places like New Orleans were not. I do remember a CAT 5 years ago where the eye went right over my house, so we went out and had a hurricane party until the wall got close, then it was back inside lol
As a Floridian, I tend to get sleepy during rainy weather. Category 4 and 5 are definitely ones to watch out for and prep. Hurricane parties are great.
I used to live in Florida, and whenever the weather service threatened the arrival of a Cat 4/5 storm, I got out of town! I didn't screw around, I nailed boards to every window on my house, and got out of there as soon as I possibly could! I always made sure I was one of the first ones to leave, too, because I didn't want to procrastinate, and get stuck in the inevitable traffic of millions of "last-second runners," which is what we called people who stupidly waited until it was just about to rain to finally get their butts in gear, and leave the area!
8:15 both of those volcano movies and both of the meteor Armageddon movies are all solid movies. Their widely different in a lot of ways but all enjoyable
@The Beesleys, *William B. Ogden (Ogden Avenue, Chicago) who owned the Peshtigo Lumber Company was the first mayor of Chicago. There has always been speculation that the fire started in the lumber yard.* 😒
An F-1 tornado hit in my area of Pennsylvania back in 1990. It broke all the windows in my parents house, ripped up several trees, and turned my grandparents corn crib onto its roof. Overall the damage totalled about $5000 dollars. I was about a year and half at the time
I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I remember seeing the volcanic ash all over the place in 1980. It looked exactly like grey snow. It made a heck of a mess, and we lived about 100 miles from Mt. St. Helens. If Yellowstone ever blows, we could all be in serious trouble.
Yes learned about The Great London Fires of 1135 and 1666. Learned about the Great Chicago Fire in school. In America the word Great is often used in exchange of Huge. Such as Great Lakes and Great Smokey Mountains ...So Great Chicago fire means Huge Chicago Fire.
I was in the 1989 Quake...it was brutal. I'm sure there's vids of it out there that could explain it. Unlike hurricanes, tsunamis, storms etc...quakes come without warning and do just as much damage in a lesser amount of time, and there's really no way to shield yourself from it in the way you can tornados or storms.
I've lived in Florida for 54 years and I've been through every hurricane that has hit us since then. I survived them all, as did my home and pets even though my house is a half a block from the Atlantic Ocean. In those 54 years I have seen two tornadoes that were terrifying yet beautiful and neither one harmed me. Its perfectly safe to live in Florida, so come on down!!
I live in Dixie tornado alley; specifically Northeast Mississippi. Tornado shelters are very common. We are very aware when conditions for a tornado are present. It can be very scary!!
List of volacnos in Brtitan (mind you they are all way beyond dead at this point): Bardon Hill Calton Hill Cawsand Volcano The Cheviot Gurnard's Head Haweswater Caldera Helvellyn Langdale Caldera Scafells Speedwall Vent Warboys Those are just in England itself. There are also some in Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
I forgot to suggest these few movies earlier. You might consider reacting to: (1) Man On Fire: Denzel Washington; (2) Colombiana: Zoe Saldana; (3) Behind Enemy Line: Owen Wilson; and (4) Platoon: Charlie Sheen. You can check out the Overview or Synopsis.
You should do a reaction video of the extreme drought in the American SouthWest. It should be interesting for you to see how low Lake Mead and Lake Powell are.
Virginia here… I definitely learned about the Great Fire of London in school. Chicago, too, which has been long attributed to a cow kicking over a lantern in a barn.
Fun fact: one of the biggest reasons wildfires get so bad in the US is because we've interrupted the natural fire cycle. In the past, large but weak fires would occur, clearing away underbrush and debris. But because we've populated everywhere, we put out the fires resulting in forest debris buildup and thus stronger fires
Hurricanes can get pretty wild here in Florida but unless it's like a cat 4 or 5 were just chilling. We even throw hurricane parties which are basically just rainy sleepovers.
My Grandmother and her Family lived through the 1906 Earthquake and Fire in San Francisco. She was 16 years old at the time. She remembers walking down Market St. trying to get to the Ferry Building to get away from the fire and to the other side of the Bay. she saw people hanging from every lamp post with placards around their necks saying "Looter", "Rapist", "Thief" and so on. The Army did not play any games back then. They did not try to recover the bodies in the rubble. They just piled all the bricks and cement up at the wharves. The Redwood Clippers that brought lumber down from Washington State used the piles for ballast in their empty ships going back to Seattle. There they dumped the ballast in the Harbor Breakwater. A lot of San Franciscans (well, pieces of them) ended up in Seattle that way.
If you want all the seasons, come to MN. We play in the water in Summer, in our yards in Fall, the snow in Winter, and our gardens in the Spring. Nothing like living in a place where the heat is unlikely to kill you, but the cold might.
I have only experienced 1 earthquake & haven't yet seen an active volcano in person. I have seen tornadoes, wildfires & hurricanes. Seeing an entire town completely taken out from a tornado is the worst thing you could imagine, everything scattered & destroyed including people & animals. Wildfires and hurricanes generally give people time to evacuate but tornadoes can come down right on top of you without any warning & often at night.
My dog Hazel and I hunkered down in the house we lived in, windows boarded up, as Hurricane Katrina hit the New Orleans area. I had no way to evacuate in time, and it was 12 days until I was able to get out of New Orleans and about 6 weeks before I could go back after it was over.
Highly recommend you guys (or Millie at least!) watch Puppet History’s episode on the Great Molasses Flood Basically a neighborhood in Boston was flooded with 2.3 million gallons of molasses and wreaked havoc, pretty interesting to learn about
This video is actually pretty fascinating! I actually learned some things that I didn't even know even though I live here! 🤣 I'm going to make a video soon because I have some questions for the two of you! I'm just curious but I'll save that for another time... Keep up the good work because I really enjoy your videos! - Jay, living in Illinois but born and raised in Utah... Hopefully soon moving to Texas! 🤟🏼🇺🇲🤟🏼🇬🇧
I grew up outside Chicago. The Great Fire was supposedly caused by Mrs. O‘Leary‘s cow kicking over a latern (not true). The Iroquois Theater and Our Lady of the Angels fires were even more tragic. I’ve never seen a tornado, but have been near several. No-one understands what stillness is until right before one touches down. Nothing moves, there is absolutely no wind & even the birds are like frozen. It’s simply eerie.
I live in the Dayton Ohio area of the US, and about three years ago we had 14 or 15 tornadoes ranging from an f-zero up to an F4 come through our area in a single night it's been over 3 years and there's still areas that have never been repaired and trees that have not grown back.
If I remember correctly the great Chicago fire was started when a women's cow kicked over an oil lantern in her barn. The fire grew large enough that pretty much the entire city of Chicago burned down. The industrial revolution had already started when this happened so when they rebuilt Chicago they built it as the first ever gridded/pre planned city ever, to which pretty much every major built city afterwards replicated.
In Florida we have Hurricane Parties if it is a Cat 3 or less. I've sat on my porch and watched a hurricane go by while listening to music and sipping some Sweet Tea.
Live in Washington where Mt St Helen’s. Was beautiful before she blew. Was on it exactly a months before she blew. It’s scary but it is what it is. I could see the ash plume from North Seattle.
We have wildfires every summer in Montana. A few years ago it was horrible. A month ago, I had 36 inches of snow and in 3 weeks the wildfire season starts. Earthquakes also, nothing like the coasts. Then again the Yellowstone caldera is right down the road. We have had tsunamis. There is evidence of them in Alaska, which is earthquake prone.
I live in the western part of NY state and I haven't seen any of those. I'm a grandma so I've been around for a while lol. We've had one very small tornado that didn't do much and probably a couple shakes of the ground that were hardly felt. I have been through some snow storms and blizzards. We had a very unusual storm a few years ago that dumped 6 ft (1.829 meters) of snow. That was crazy!
I live in upstate NY we unfortunately get a bit of everything. Besides the blizzards everyone expects, at nearly 60 I’ve experienced in NY, several earthquakes, several tornados, tail end of hurricanes, flooding, mudslides, at one point there were only 5 del rechos known and 2 or 3 happened in my county, ice storms, heat, cold, high humidity (which makes it feel even hotter) high winds, when I was in High school we were second in the US and 5th in the world for the worst weather. We have many more days of 100% overcast than days when it is sunny.
I grew up in North Texas and saw a lot of tornadoes. They can be loud, scary and unpredictable but the thing to remember is that it isn't like you have a long time to freak out about it. You are warned, you run and get into a shelter then it passes. Now I live in Florida where we get hurricanes...you have a week of wondering what the heck it's going to do, where it's going to go and just how bad is it going to be. I find hurricanes more annoying than tornadoes. But wildfires are terrifying...it's hard to breath the air even if you aren't that close.
Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, we consider pretty lucky not to have too many of these natural disasters. Over the years we get little earthquakes, tail end of hurricanes and maybe a glimpse of tornados. However more recently we had an actual tornado touch down in the area and have seen more hurricane like weather. It just goes to show, it doesn't matter where you live, you can't predict mother nature.
As an American, I have personally experienced three of those five. I grew up in Northern California where we considered summertime to also be Forestfire Season. Literally every summer there was some magnitude of fire in the very dry grasslands and forests surrounding the area, but thankfully the closest it ever got to me was about half a mile. We were also had the occasional shake, but the strongest I even slept through was a 5.3 earthquake. Then I foolishly moved to Louisiana and I've been here long enough to experience two hurricanes and several tropical storms. (Hurricanes generally lose force when they hit land, so weaker hurricanes turned into tropical storms by the time they reached me. Favorite tropical storm was the one that flooded our neighborhood, including the bottom story of the house we lived in. Luckily we moved everything upstairs or onto tall risers, and we spent two weeks knitting, playing Harvest Moon, and rowing out for Popeyes (which was on dry land, thank goodness).
I have seen two tornadoes in state of Missouri. One in Sunset Hills, Missouri and the other was in December but very rare time of one to happen it crossed interstate 70 and diagonal through the Lambert International Airport. When I drove truck (18 wheeler driver) through Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas on interstate 35. I was heading south to Austin Texas. Was in a pack of bull haulers that ran faster than I did. Told me to runaway from Dallas. They said there are reports of a Category 4 or 5 on the ground heading this way. All over the CB radio!
if i recall correctly, in wales there are some extinct volcanoes. back from the days when scotland was leaving north america and heading over to bump into the rest of britain.
We learned about the Great Fire of London but like as a small thing (it could have been in my European History class, which only history nerds like me took). A theory (I'm pretty sure it's been disproven) is that a meteor caused all of the great fires that happened at that time in the upper Midwest. But wildfires used to be common in the Great Lakes region at the time because unfortunately much the forest land had been turned into wasteland which easily caught fire. The CCC reforested the area in the 30s and build fire prevention stations (which luckily in the Midwest actually worked, I think they might have backfired a bit out west). So yeah we don't get huge wild fires anymore thankfully like we did in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
You should look into the recent Quad-State Tornado that wiped out several towns in the western half of my state(Kentucky), and 3 others(another separate tornado cell was occuring I believe in Illinois at the time)it happened over night into morning on the 10th to 11th of December 2021.
While the U.S. does have disasters more often than any European country, keep in mind the fact that the U.S. is about the size of Europe. Individual U.S. states are comperable in size to individual European nations. Alaska is somewhat larger than Ukraine.
I learned about the Great Fire of London. For a day or so the teacher presented a list of every big major fire that's hit London. And I learned of the New York one, the Chicago one, the Earthquake/Fire of 1906, Peshtigo, and the Great Baltimore Fire. Peshtigo was caused by burning out the swamps and possibly a lightning strike after severe drought. As for hurricanes - usually they become tropical storms before they hit us. And yes, I've heard of the horrid historic Cat 4 and Cat 5 hurricanes. Yikes. And I'm not in the area of tornadoes. Well, we have them, but they tend to be 1's and 2's, with our supposed max being 3's. But a fun fact? Tornadoes helped drive the British out of DC during the War of 1812.
The strongest earthquakes the US occur mostly along the West Coast, but in 1811 and 1812, a series of huge ones happened in Missouri . There was also a significant one in South Carolina in about 1886.
I live in southern US in Louisiana (home of New Orleans), and also part of tornado alley and also a gulf coast state that gets massive hurricanes. Louisiana is a fairly small state with some of the deadliest US weather..tornadoes are quite common..usually f1 or f2 (f5 is deadliest and in my 53 years I’ve lived through two f5’s (I was 9 the first time and it traumatized me for life) and also Hurricane Katrina..it’s scary.
Definition of Active in terms of a volcano: Regular activity that suggests that it could erupt within 10,000 years. (Hence why Yellowstone is considered Active in the US, despite it not erupting within 10,000 years.) Dormant: Activity to suggest it is still alive, but mostly quiet. Unlikely to erupt within the next 10,000 years. Extinct: No activity and hasn't erupted in 10,000 years.
We learn in history that the Great Chicago Fire was started by Mrs O'Leary's cow kicking over a lantern, but later on a guy confessed that he started it accidentally after a drunken card game.
Volcanoes in Britain: I don't know if you would count it, but Edinburgh is built on the solidified core of a long extinct volcano. The top and sides were worn away during the ice ages.
I live in the US. I was born in 1969 in Long Beach, California and have been through several earthquakes, a couple of big ones. 1973 and somewhere around 1995 or so? But, many more than that were smaller. I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah as a pre-teen, I still live there now. I was in a Tornado here in Salt Lake in the 90's or so, we had a fair-sized earthquake in Salt Lake just a couple of years ago in May, i believe it was a 6.5 or so, and a horrific windstorm that knocked my power out for 48 hours, also in the last couple of years. We aren't safe anywhere, lol!
When I was a kid (probably around 10 or 12 years old) I was up at my grandparents house and my grandfather had chicken houses he used to grow them for Tyson and there was a tornado one night that I saw from about half a mile away. I was terrified of them for years after that. Sucks living in tornado alley. Not many of them in Texas that I've seen luckily but damn that was terrifying when I was a kid
We had some pretty bad wildfires in the l.a. area a few years. I was at least 10 miles away from them but I could still smell the smell of burnt wood in the air and ashes were falling from the sky. It kind of looked like snow.
I'm in Houston . We see a hurricane 🌀 every few years.. nothing new.. when house shopping... you check flood zones.. ask around... and get a generator..
I have lived in SW Pennsylvania and in SW Michigan. I have experienced tornados,of course. What surprised me was having small earthquakes in MI and IN! The quakes were just big enough for everything to "jiggle". In SW MI our sun turned bright red for 2 days last summer, due to wildfires 2,000 miles away!
Guys, you may want to look into the history of Castle Rock. It is an extinct volcano. So you have them, at least in Scotland. Which is in the UK. For now.
Hurricane Katrina developed into a Cat 5 in the gulf, BUT as it moved toward shore it started to weaken. Initially, it was thought to hit shore as a Cat 4, but was soon downgraded to a strong Cat 3. Many people confuse its strength from its offshore strength with its landfall strength. When Katrina came ashore it was only a Cat 3, not a Cat 5. I make this distinction only so people realize smaller strength storms can have just as deadly, if not more consequences, than the even larger storms, depending on the circumstances and location. It’s important to realize when they call for hurricanes, the best action is to leave that area as soon as possible until after the storm passes……
Alaska is in a tsunami zone, only because of it's proximity to the ring of fire. Most of our earthquake zones are inland so they theoretically could cause a tsunami but it would be outbound
The Great Chicago Fire IIRC basically levelled Chicago. And I think there was a second one. Or maybe I am thinking London? Or New York? I remember that one big city basically burned to the ground twice on accident (i.e. not cuz war).
I live in a suburb of Chicago called Park Forest Illinois my grade school was taught about The Great Chicago Fire and we took a trip to Chicago to visit the sites that was scars where
I live in FL and hurricanes are just kinda a part of life. Thankfully my area hasn't got hit by one bigger than a cat 3 in years (knock on wood a million times since it's hurricane season now) but most FL take hurricanes pretty much in stride (minus the panic buying and brawls and gas stations, those you can bet on with everything over a cat 1 or 2). But I find tornadoes WAY more terrifying. Everyone thinks of tornado alley as having the most, and they certainly do have a lot but FL actually has the most, though luckily for me at least, I've only ever witnessed fairly small ones. But here's the thing that makes them so much scarier to me anyways. When a hurricane is coming for FL we have, idk, 2 weeks on average to prepare and even leave if we need to. But with a tornado you've got like... 20 minutes. It's also impossibly creepy when you're in, like a big store like Walmart or Publix or something and everyone's phone starts screaming at the same time with a tornado warning.
here in Cali the golden states, we have Earthquake, Tornado, Hurricane twin sister Typhoone, Volcanoes, wildfires and many more for any1 that want to take the weather challenge.
Ring of Fire. Also, check out the Cascadia Subduction zone. Active generally is if has erupted in past 10k years. I live on the border of Texas and Oklahoma, which is Tornado Alley. All spring we are on standby basically but we truthfully just look outside and say, awww not gonna hit over here and go back to normal activity.
Utah, we got wild fires. :0 .... not much else to talk about. Only felt one earthquake, and it was a weird mornin. Other than that, the mountains protect from most tornadoes, and fun fact is that you can bake cookies in your car. :P
Most scientists consider a volcano active if it has erupted in the last 10,000 years. Mt St Helens and Kilauea are the most active that I am aware of in US.
Everything in America is overbearing right now. I live in Kansas so we get multiple tornados a year. Two or three bad this year already. And if the New Madrid fault pops off I’m definitely in the quake zone, and that will be a bad one.
@@anitasherwin543 Yeah it gets crazy for sure. I was stuck at the MCI airport a few years ago when I really bad one hit. It went through where I live in Lawrence, but the planes were grounded because there was debris on the runway. That’s a good like 50 miles away. It was wild.
I was born and raised in Oklahoma, have seen a tornado touch down on Grand Lake (one of OK's biggest lakes) pulling in water into the funnel. Since then, I have had some touch down within a mile of me...but been lucky enough to not have my home torn apart from one. Wind and ice seems to be a bigger issue as far as frequency of it happening plus the widespread damage they cause, as the wind has been strong enough to uproot bigger trees and snap smaller ones at the trunk. In 2015, I actually watched a small, planted tree get snapped in half from the wind as I was sitting in my car debating on going into Walmart for shelter. Diameter of the trunk of the tree was only about 3-6 inches but still, you couldn't snap it in half if you were pulling on it with a car, as that would have uprooted the tree rather than snap it...that's how fast the wind gust came in, it just snapped it right in the middle. Then there is the ice-storm in 2007 that had many towns without power for at least a week, there was like a 6.25mm of straight ice on pretty much everything (before snowing). This killed hundreds to thousands of trees and knocked down soooo many powerlines, which is why we were without power for so long. Then there is flooding in the spring season if it decides to rain for days or weeks, but that's not as common as headline winds and tornadoes. I would think if you were to move to the US from Britain, maybe the closest as far as weather goes, Ohio would be your best choice for a quick adjustment to climate and natural disasters. But the Great Plains in Central US is nowhere near as scary as it sounds. The thunderstorms in spring are breathtakingly beautiful because you can see them coming from miles away. That's why people here grill and have a few beers as the storms roll in; we know it's coming, but the view is just too good to miss.
I remember my first tornado I was sitting in the backseat of my parents car coming home from a trip to the beach (I was about 5 at the time) I look out the window and about a half mile away I see the tornado come down from the heavens I poke my mom about 30 times before she finally yells “WHAT!” And I just point and she goes “oh shit” we promptly turned the other direction and drive very quickly away
When I was 12 years old, a tornado hit our house and destroyed half of the roof over the living and dining room. This happen while we were home. We all hid in a room and survived. There was a lot of destruction but most of the house survived.
Is the Great Fire of London the one that resulted in the current London bridge? Didn't London nearly burn to the ground several times? Oh, and it looks like the extinct volcanoes in the UK are mostly in Scotland. Apparently, Edinburgh Castle is sitting on one.
There's a reason they call a F5 tornado "the hand of god". The tri state tornado had a path 1.5 miles wide 80 miles long. Where there was nothing left but dirt.
It's a good thing there hasn't been an EF5 tornado for 9 years now.
@@reformcongress Stop jinxing it with your reckless gratitude! lol
@@jacob4920 I had my fingers crossed. It's okay.
It was 219 miles long.
@@reformcongress probably due for a huge one sometime soon
My sister was driving us home from school during a really bad storm. I can remember her yelling "Oh crap, I think that's a tornado". I replied, "I see it". Then I realized we were looking out different sides of the car. Luckily they were both a decent distance away and didn't hit us directly but it was still terrifying.
I’ve driven between two before didn’t know what to do other than pull over and wait and see what they were going to do.
This reminds me of when my mom and I were visiting family friends in Colorado. We had gone to the zoo and friend took a look out a window and said "we have to go". We were confused but left. She told us when we got back to her house that she saw signs of a tornado and we being from California, just saw overcast skys.
169 active volcanoes in the United States. There is a really big one called Yellowstone.
Yup and if Yellowstone ever blows again it will wipe out life on most of the planet.
@@Fmanzo10 Potentially. Everything around it for a couple hundred miles, and then downwind from it for thousands of miles would probably result in massive casualties in the range of 100 million or more people in the USA alone
There are currently 4 volcanoes in the USA either erupting now or have active watches on the potential. One in Hawaii, 3 in Alaska.
It's technically a caldera but yeah, the Yellowstone caldera is classified as a super volcano but it's of no real threat. It's not due to pop for hundreds of thousands of years. Mt. Rainier in Washington is a much more present, albeit smaller, threat, especially if the well overdue super quake in the Cascadia subduction zone decides to finally go off.
Tornados are now classified on the EF (Enhanced Fujita) scale, instead of the F (Fujita) scale. All previous tornados have been reclassified if they would now fall in a different category.
Only in the US. The F scale for tornadoes is still used in Europe and the UK

An F-1 tornado hit in my area of Pennsylvania back in 1990. It broke all the windows in my parents house, ripped up several trees, and turned my grandparents corn crib onto its roof. Overall the damage totalled about $5000 dollars. I was about a year and half at the time

Whoops didn't read that fully.😁 My bad!
Oregon, outside of Portland... I wanted to go outside and get some ash, but my dad wouldn't let me.
Fortunately, if Yellowstone ever blows, we will all be long gone before it happens.
You might enjoy Nick Zentner's lectures. He's a geology prof at Central. They can trace "the Yellowstone hotspot" all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
Yes learned about The Great London Fires of 1135 and 1666. Learned about the Great Chicago Fire in school. In America the word Great is often used in exchange of Huge. Such as Great Lakes and Great Smokey Mountains ...So Great Chicago fire means Huge Chicago Fire.
I was in the 1989 Quake...it was brutal. I'm sure there's vids of it out there that could explain it. Unlike hurricanes, tsunamis, storms etc...quakes come without warning and do just as much damage in a lesser amount of time, and there's really no way to shield yourself from it in the way you can tornados or storms.
I've lived in Florida for 54 years and I've been through every hurricane that has hit us since then. I survived them all, as did my home and pets even though my house is a half a block from the Atlantic Ocean. In those 54 years I have seen two tornadoes that were terrifying yet beautiful and neither one harmed me. Its perfectly safe to live in Florida, so come on down!!
I live in Dixie tornado alley; specifically Northeast Mississippi. Tornado shelters are very common. We are very aware when conditions for a tornado are present. It can be very scary!!
As an American I did learn about the great fire of London... and how it happened in 1666.
List of volacnos in Brtitan (mind you they are all way beyond dead at this point):
Bardon Hill
Calton Hill
Cawsand Volcano
The Cheviot
Gurnard's Head
Haweswater Caldera
Helvellyn
Langdale Caldera
Scafells
Speedwall Vent
Warboys
Those are just in England itself. There are also some in Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
I forgot to suggest these few movies earlier. You might consider reacting to: (1) Man On Fire: Denzel Washington; (2) Colombiana: Zoe Saldana; (3) Behind Enemy Line: Owen Wilson; and (4) Platoon: Charlie Sheen. You can check out the Overview or Synopsis.
You should do a reaction video of the extreme drought in the American SouthWest. It should be interesting for you to see how low Lake Mead and Lake Powell are.
Virginia here… I definitely learned about the Great Fire of London in school.
Chicago, too, which has been long attributed to a cow kicking over a lantern in a barn.
Fun fact: one of the biggest reasons wildfires get so bad in the US is because we've interrupted the natural fire cycle.
In the past, large but weak fires would occur, clearing away underbrush and debris. But because we've populated everywhere, we put out the fires resulting in forest debris buildup and thus stronger fires
Why do people insist on posting "Fun fact:"? Can't we just state what we're going to state without first saying "Check this shit out!"?
@@ivankawnartist Where’s the fun in that?
@@upset_bitchlet Don't make your lack of imagination a problem of mine. Get creative. 🙄
@@ivankawnartist and don't make your hatred of fun our problem.
@@K9TheFirst1 🙄Did you come up with that all on your ow? Don't let your inability to think rationally my problem.
Hurricanes can get pretty wild here in Florida but unless it's like a cat 4 or 5 were just chilling. We even throw hurricane parties which are basically just rainy sleepovers.
Having been in an F5 I can say I still dream of the green sky and the freight train noise as if the train was a giant.
My Grandmother and her Family lived through the 1906 Earthquake and Fire in San Francisco. She was 16 years old at the time. She remembers walking down Market St. trying to get to the Ferry Building to get away from the fire and to the other side of the Bay. she saw people hanging from every lamp post with placards around their necks saying "Looter", "Rapist", "Thief" and so on. The Army did not play any games back then. They did not try to recover the bodies in the rubble. They just piled all the bricks and cement up at the wharves. The Redwood Clippers that brought lumber down from Washington State used the piles for ballast in their empty ships going back to Seattle. There they dumped the ballast in the Harbor Breakwater. A lot of San Franciscans (well, pieces of them) ended up in Seattle that way.
If you want all the seasons, come to MN. We play in the water in Summer, in our yards in Fall, the snow in Winter, and our gardens in the Spring. Nothing like living in a place where the heat is unlikely to kill you, but the cold might.
I have only experienced 1 earthquake & haven't yet seen an active volcano in person. I have seen tornadoes, wildfires & hurricanes. Seeing an entire town completely taken out from a tornado is the worst thing you could imagine, everything scattered & destroyed including people & animals. Wildfires and hurricanes generally give people time to evacuate but tornadoes can come down right on top of you without any warning & often at night.
I'm in my late '40s and grew up in Iowa, and I remember that we were taught about the Great London Fire. 1660s, right?
Wisconsin wasn't even a thing back then.
30 years ago this week we had the 7.2 Landers quake in Southern California. I was 60 miles from Landers and my house shook for 2 minutes.
My dog Hazel and I hunkered down in the house we lived in, windows boarded up, as Hurricane Katrina hit the New Orleans area. I had no way to evacuate in time, and it was 12 days until I was able to get out of New Orleans and about 6 weeks before I could go back after it was over.
Highly recommend you guys (or Millie at least!) watch Puppet History’s episode on the Great Molasses Flood
Basically a neighborhood in Boston was flooded with 2.3 million gallons of molasses and wreaked havoc, pretty interesting to learn about
This video is actually pretty fascinating! I actually learned some things that I didn't even know even though I live here! 🤣
I'm going to make a video soon because I have some questions for the two of you! I'm just curious but I'll save that for another time...
Keep up the good work because I really enjoy your videos! - Jay, living in Illinois but born and raised in Utah... Hopefully soon moving to Texas! 🤟🏼🇺🇲🤟🏼🇬🇧
Texas, yikes. Talk about dangerous weather
I grew up outside Chicago. The Great Fire was supposedly caused by Mrs. O‘Leary‘s cow kicking over a latern (not true). The Iroquois Theater and Our Lady of the Angels fires were even more tragic.
I’ve never seen a tornado, but have been near several. No-one understands what stillness is until right before one touches down. Nothing moves, there is absolutely no wind & even the birds are like frozen. It’s simply eerie.
Not to mention the greenish hue the sky takes on, every time the sky looks even remotely off I get all paranoid
@@kellyb6198 The smoke belching from the steel mills permanently discolored the sky in NW Indiana. A green hue would have gone unnoticed.
@@barbarawissinger I'm out in corn country Illinois so its always noticed
I live in the Dayton Ohio area of the US, and about three years ago we had 14 or 15 tornadoes ranging from an f-zero up to an F4 come through our area in a single night it's been over 3 years and there's still areas that have never been repaired and trees that have not grown back.
You should check out the Apr 3, 1974 tornado that destroyed nearly 3/4 of Xenia. The same area was hit again some 20 years later.
This young couple deserves a LOT more subscribers. One of the most entertaining channels here.
If I remember correctly the great Chicago fire was started when a women's cow kicked over an oil lantern in her barn. The fire grew large enough that pretty much the entire city of Chicago burned down. The industrial revolution had already started when this happened so when they rebuilt Chicago they built it as the first ever gridded/pre planned city ever, to which pretty much every major built city afterwards replicated.
As for earthquakes...I live on the New Madrid Fault, only a few miles from the town of New Madrid Missouri. Check it out sometime..
In Florida we have Hurricane Parties if it is a Cat 3 or less. I've sat on my porch and watched a hurricane go by while listening to music and sipping some Sweet Tea.
Live in Washington where Mt St Helen’s. Was beautiful before she blew. Was on it exactly a months before she blew. It’s scary but it is what it is. I could see the ash plume from North Seattle.
The Great Fire of London, thats the one that caused severe damage to the London Bridge, yes? The one the song is named after.
We have wildfires every summer in Montana. A few years ago it was horrible. A month ago, I had 36 inches of snow and in 3 weeks the wildfire season starts. Earthquakes also, nothing like the coasts. Then again the Yellowstone caldera is right down the road. We have had tsunamis. There is evidence of them in Alaska, which is earthquake prone.
I live in the western part of NY state and I haven't seen any of those. I'm a grandma so I've been around for a while lol. We've had one very small tornado that didn't do much and probably a couple shakes of the ground that were hardly felt. I have been through some snow storms and blizzards. We had a very unusual storm a few years ago that dumped 6 ft (1.829 meters) of snow. That was crazy!
I live in upstate NY we unfortunately get a bit of everything. Besides the blizzards everyone expects, at nearly 60 I’ve experienced in NY, several earthquakes, several tornados, tail end of hurricanes, flooding, mudslides, at one point there were only 5 del rechos known and 2 or 3 happened in my county, ice storms, heat, cold, high humidity (which makes it feel even hotter) high winds, when I was in High school we were second in the US and 5th in the world for the worst weather. We have many more days of 100% overcast than days when it is sunny.
I grew up in North Texas and saw a lot of tornadoes. They can be loud, scary and unpredictable but the thing to remember is that it isn't like you have a long time to freak out about it. You are warned, you run and get into a shelter then it passes. Now I live in Florida where we get hurricanes...you have a week of wondering what the heck it's going to do, where it's going to go and just how bad is it going to be. I find hurricanes more annoying than tornadoes. But wildfires are terrifying...it's hard to breath the air even if you aren't that close.
Yes, in the U.S. we did learn about the Great Fire of London. We also learned it wasn't in 1871 but 1666.
Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, we consider pretty lucky not to have too many of these natural disasters. Over the years we get little earthquakes, tail end of hurricanes and maybe a glimpse of tornados. However more recently we had an actual tornado touch down in the area and have seen more hurricane like weather. It just goes to show, it doesn't matter where you live, you can't predict mother nature.
As an American, I have personally experienced three of those five. I grew up in Northern California where we considered summertime to also be Forestfire Season. Literally every summer there was some magnitude of fire in the very dry grasslands and forests surrounding the area, but thankfully the closest it ever got to me was about half a mile. We were also had the occasional shake, but the strongest I even slept through was a 5.3 earthquake. Then I foolishly moved to Louisiana and I've been here long enough to experience two hurricanes and several tropical storms. (Hurricanes generally lose force when they hit land, so weaker hurricanes turned into tropical storms by the time they reached me.
Favorite tropical storm was the one that flooded our neighborhood, including the bottom story of the house we lived in. Luckily we moved everything upstairs or onto tall risers, and we spent two weeks knitting, playing Harvest Moon, and rowing out for Popeyes (which was on dry land, thank goodness).
We had a funnel start forming in front of our house last month 🤠 Luckily it went over us before touching down
I have seen two tornadoes in state of Missouri. One in Sunset Hills, Missouri and the other was in December but very rare time of one to happen it crossed interstate 70 and diagonal through the Lambert International Airport.
When I drove truck (18 wheeler driver) through Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas on interstate 35. I was heading south to Austin Texas. Was in a pack of bull haulers that ran faster than I did. Told me to runaway from Dallas. They said there are reports of a Category 4 or 5 on the ground heading this way. All over the CB radio!
if i recall correctly, in wales there are some extinct volcanoes. back from the days when scotland was leaving north america and heading over to bump into the rest of britain.
Tri state tornado started in mo & was on the ground further than any other as well
In the Pacific Northwest, the danger from wildfires recedes, but that from volcanoes grows.
We learned about the Great Fire of London but like as a small thing (it could have been in my European History class, which only history nerds like me took).
A theory (I'm pretty sure it's been disproven) is that a meteor caused all of the great fires that happened at that time in the upper Midwest. But wildfires used to be common in the Great Lakes region at the time because unfortunately much the forest land had been turned into wasteland which easily caught fire. The CCC reforested the area in the 30s and build fire prevention stations (which luckily in the Midwest actually worked, I think they might have backfired a bit out west). So yeah we don't get huge wild fires anymore thankfully like we did in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
I live in Louisiana and we get our fair share of tornadoes. But I’ve never seen one in 40 years. I kind of want to see one and kind of don’t.
I saw one last year. Scary
You should look into the recent Quad-State Tornado that wiped out several towns in the western half of my state(Kentucky), and 3 others(another separate tornado cell was occuring I believe in Illinois at the time)it happened over night into morning on the 10th to 11th of December 2021.
You should check out the volcano move Dante's Peak with Pierce Brosnan. Very good film.
While the U.S. does have disasters more often than any European country, keep in mind the fact that the U.S. is about the size of Europe. Individual U.S. states are comperable in size to individual European nations. Alaska is somewhat larger than Ukraine.
I learned about the Great Fire of London. For a day or so the teacher presented a list of every big major fire that's hit London. And I learned of the New York one, the Chicago one, the Earthquake/Fire of 1906, Peshtigo, and the Great Baltimore Fire. Peshtigo was caused by burning out the swamps and possibly a lightning strike after severe drought. As for hurricanes - usually they become tropical storms before they hit us. And yes, I've heard of the horrid historic Cat 4 and Cat 5 hurricanes. Yikes. And I'm not in the area of tornadoes. Well, we have them, but they tend to be 1's and 2's, with our supposed max being 3's. But a fun fact? Tornadoes helped drive the British out of DC during the War of 1812.
I was in a tornado over a year ago. Ripped the roof off my neighbor's house and ripped trees out of my yard. They are terrifying
The strongest earthquakes the US occur mostly along the West Coast, but in 1811 and 1812, a series of huge ones happened in Missouri . There was also a significant one in South Carolina in about 1886.
I lived in Kansas for 35 years, and in that time I only saw 2 tornadoes.
I live in southern US in Louisiana (home of New Orleans), and also part of tornado alley and also a gulf coast state that gets massive hurricanes. Louisiana is a fairly small state with some of the deadliest US weather..tornadoes are quite common..usually f1 or f2 (f5 is deadliest and in my 53 years I’ve lived through two f5’s (I was 9 the first time and it traumatized me for life) and also Hurricane Katrina..it’s scary.
Definition of Active in terms of a volcano: Regular activity that suggests that it could erupt within 10,000 years. (Hence why Yellowstone is considered Active in the US, despite it not erupting within 10,000 years.)
Dormant: Activity to suggest it is still alive, but mostly quiet. Unlikely to erupt within the next 10,000 years.
Extinct: No activity and hasn't erupted in 10,000 years.
We learn in history that the Great Chicago Fire was started by Mrs O'Leary's cow kicking over a lantern, but later on a guy confessed that he started it accidentally after a drunken card game.
The 55 million year old eruption happened in present-day Scotland. It is located on the Western-most peninsula of the UK mainland.
Yes we do learn about the great fire of london, but only briefly.
Volcanoes in Britain: I don't know if you would count it, but Edinburgh is built on the solidified core of a long extinct volcano. The top and sides were worn away during the ice ages.
I’m from Chicago, I did hear of great fire in London. I like history and my ancestry.
I live in the US. I was born in 1969 in Long Beach, California and have been through several earthquakes, a couple of big ones. 1973 and somewhere around 1995 or so? But, many more than that were smaller. I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah as a pre-teen, I still live there now. I was in a Tornado here in Salt Lake in the 90's or so, we had a fair-sized earthquake in Salt Lake just a couple of years ago in May, i believe it was a 6.5 or so, and a horrific windstorm that knocked my power out for 48 hours, also in the last couple of years. We aren't safe anywhere, lol!
When I was a kid (probably around 10 or 12 years old) I was up at my grandparents house and my grandfather had chicken houses he used to grow them for Tyson and there was a tornado one night that I saw from about half a mile away. I was terrified of them for years after that. Sucks living in tornado alley. Not many of them in Texas that I've seen luckily but damn that was terrifying when I was a kid
i live in wisconsin, 36 years old, never been in/seen any of these things
We had some pretty bad wildfires in the l.a. area a few years. I was at least 10 miles away from them but I could still smell the smell of burnt wood in the air and ashes were falling from the sky. It kind of looked like snow.
I'm in Houston . We see a hurricane 🌀 every few years.. nothing new.. when house shopping... you check flood zones.. ask around... and get a generator..
Looked it up! I googled volcanos in Great Britain … there are several. Just none active!
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON! You guys had me in stitches :D
I have lived in SW Pennsylvania and in SW Michigan. I have experienced tornados,of course. What surprised me was having small earthquakes in MI and IN! The quakes were just big enough for everything to "jiggle". In SW MI our sun turned bright red for 2 days last summer, due to wildfires 2,000 miles away!
You should check out Super Volcanoes. Yellowstone in particular. VERY interesting!!
Guys, you may want to look into the history of Castle Rock. It is an extinct volcano. So you have them, at least in Scotland. Which is in the UK. For now.
The west coast of the US (Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California) all have susceptibility to tsunamis
Yeah we covered the Great Fire of London in high school. We even covered a few entries from Samuel Pepys' diary.
Tsunamis in Hawaii. Lawrence's channel is great to watch too. It is called lost in the pond. I love both of your channels!!!
Tsunamis have also hit all up and down the West Coast from California to Alaska, but it takes a large earthquake in the Pacific to generate one.
i don't know if you'll see this after so much time, but i agree the fire of London was the worst I've read about.
Two extinct volcanos are present in Scotland, Castle Rock and Arthur's Seat.
Hurricane Katrina developed into a Cat 5 in the gulf, BUT as it moved toward shore it started to weaken. Initially, it was thought to hit shore as a Cat 4, but was soon downgraded to a strong Cat 3. Many people confuse its strength from its offshore strength with its landfall strength. When Katrina came ashore it was only a Cat 3, not a Cat 5. I make this distinction only so people realize smaller strength storms can have just as deadly, if not more consequences, than the even larger storms, depending on the circumstances and location. It’s important to realize when they call for hurricanes, the best action is to leave that area as soon as possible until after the storm passes……
Alaska is in a tsunami zone, only because of it's proximity to the ring of fire. Most of our earthquake zones are inland so they theoretically could cause a tsunami but it would be outbound
The Great Chicago Fire IIRC basically levelled Chicago. And I think there was a second one. Or maybe I am thinking London? Or New York? I remember that one big city basically burned to the ground twice on accident (i.e. not cuz war).
I live in a suburb of Chicago called Park Forest Illinois my grade school was taught about The Great Chicago Fire and we took a trip to Chicago to visit the sites that was scars where
I know a ton about the Great Chicago fire because I live in Chicago so we had to learn it
I live in FL and hurricanes are just kinda a part of life. Thankfully my area hasn't got hit by one bigger than a cat 3 in years (knock on wood a million times since it's hurricane season now) but most FL take hurricanes pretty much in stride (minus the panic buying and brawls and gas stations, those you can bet on with everything over a cat 1 or 2). But I find tornadoes WAY more terrifying. Everyone thinks of tornado alley as having the most, and they certainly do have a lot but FL actually has the most, though luckily for me at least, I've only ever witnessed fairly small ones. But here's the thing that makes them so much scarier to me anyways. When a hurricane is coming for FL we have, idk, 2 weeks on average to prepare and even leave if we need to. But with a tornado you've got like... 20 minutes. It's also impossibly creepy when you're in, like a big store like Walmart or Publix or something and everyone's phone starts screaming at the same time with a tornado warning.
here in Cali the golden states, we have Earthquake, Tornado, Hurricane twin sister Typhoone, Volcanoes, wildfires and many more for any1 that want to take the weather challenge.
Ring of Fire. Also, check out the Cascadia Subduction zone. Active generally is if has erupted in past 10k years.
I live on the border of Texas and Oklahoma, which is Tornado Alley. All spring we are on standby basically but we truthfully just look outside and say, awww not gonna hit over here and go back to normal activity.
I did an online search, there are 11 none active Volcanoes in England.
The opera house fire of Boyertown, PA could be of some interest to you.
Utah, we got wild fires. :0 .... not much else to talk about. Only felt one earthquake, and it was a weird mornin. Other than that, the mountains protect from most tornadoes, and fun fact is that you can bake cookies in your car. :P
Most scientists consider a volcano active if it has erupted in the last 10,000 years.
Mt St Helens and Kilauea are the most active that I am aware of in US.
I’ve lived in Texas for 21 years and have never seen a tornado in real life.
Everything in America is overbearing right now.
I live in Kansas so we get multiple tornados a year. Two or three bad this year already. And if the New Madrid fault pops off I’m definitely in the quake zone, and that will be a bad one.
I lived in Kansas when I was in fifth grade so a while back. I remember one day we had 8 tornadoes touch down in one evening.
@@anitasherwin543 Yeah it gets crazy for sure. I was stuck at the MCI airport a few years ago when I really bad one hit. It went through where I live in Lawrence, but the planes were grounded because there was debris on the runway. That’s a good like 50 miles away. It was wild.
I was born and raised in Oklahoma, have seen a tornado touch down on Grand Lake (one of OK's biggest lakes) pulling in water into the funnel. Since then, I have had some touch down within a mile of me...but been lucky enough to not have my home torn apart from one. Wind and ice seems to be a bigger issue as far as frequency of it happening plus the widespread damage they cause, as the wind has been strong enough to uproot bigger trees and snap smaller ones at the trunk. In 2015, I actually watched a small, planted tree get snapped in half from the wind as I was sitting in my car debating on going into Walmart for shelter. Diameter of the trunk of the tree was only about 3-6 inches but still, you couldn't snap it in half if you were pulling on it with a car, as that would have uprooted the tree rather than snap it...that's how fast the wind gust came in, it just snapped it right in the middle. Then there is the ice-storm in 2007 that had many towns without power for at least a week, there was like a 6.25mm of straight ice on pretty much everything (before snowing). This killed hundreds to thousands of trees and knocked down soooo many powerlines, which is why we were without power for so long. Then there is flooding in the spring season if it decides to rain for days or weeks, but that's not as common as headline winds and tornadoes. I would think if you were to move to the US from Britain, maybe the closest as far as weather goes, Ohio would be your best choice for a quick adjustment to climate and natural disasters. But the Great Plains in Central US is nowhere near as scary as it sounds. The thunderstorms in spring are breathtakingly beautiful because you can see them coming from miles away. That's why people here grill and have a few beers as the storms roll in; we know it's coming, but the view is just too good to miss.
I remember my first tornado I was sitting in the backseat of my parents car coming home from a trip to the beach (I was about 5 at the time) I look out the window and about a half mile away I see the tornado come down from the heavens I poke my mom about 30 times before she finally yells “WHAT!” And I just point and she goes “oh shit” we promptly turned the other direction and drive very quickly away
When I was 12 years old, a tornado hit our house and destroyed half of the roof over the living and dining room. This happen while we were home. We all hid in a room and survived. There was a lot of destruction but most of the house survived.
Yes, In the US we do learn about the Great Fire of London.
Is the Great Fire of London the one that resulted in the current London bridge? Didn't London nearly burn to the ground several times?
Oh, and it looks like the extinct volcanoes in the UK are mostly in Scotland. Apparently, Edinburgh Castle is sitting on one.
