    FEATURED TORNADO EVENTS:
    APRIL 12 Soso Mississippi EF4
    On Easter Sunday a large, extremely dangerous, long tracking tornado was underway in Mississippi. Doppler radar revealed an impressive supercell, well defined hook echo and distinct lofted debris signature. But up close, vague walls of gray, shrouding rain curtains and a veil of tall trees obscured a hell on Earth. Prior to striking Soso Mississippi, the tornado grew to 2.25 miles wide. The THIRD widest tornado ever documented. Along a 68 mile damage path, it debarked and leveled entire forests. Cars and trucks were thrown hundreds of yards, mangled beyond recognition. Many homes and businesses were destroyed, some completely leveled and swept away
    including some well built brick and concrete structures. With estimated wind speeds up to 190 mph (310 km/h) this tornado earned an EF4 rating. Following closely behind, another large EF3 tornado trained close to the previous tornado's track.
    APRIL 19 Southwest of Hattiesburg MS
    Seven Days later, another significant tornado risk targeted Mississippi. Chasing over the previous week’s damage paths compounded the danger as trees were still weakened and downed. An intensifying high precipitation storm brought darkness early along with a barrage of powerful positive ground flashes. Not only do positive ground flashes look different from typical negative ground flashes, they often sound different. The thunder from these mega-bolts hits you like the shock wave of an explosion. Deeply embedded in rain, an unseeable mile wide tornado cruised 54 miles across the state at a ground speed of 55mph.
    At its peak intensity, The EF4 demolished two well constructed homes, leaving clean slabs in its wake.
    APRIL 22, Madill Oklahoma
    A low precipitation supercell approaching Madill Oklahoma setting the stage for a highly visible tornado. Right out the gate, it earned EF2 status, snapping power poles and flinging trees as it passed just south of town. A large section of a warehouse was demolished and under a rainbow, mobile homes were completely destroyed.
    MAY Low Tornado Activity
    April was an active month for tornado activity in the US. Usually May is the peak month, however in strong contrast to 2019, May 2020 had extremely low tornado activity. Forecastable chase-able storms mostly organized into linear modes. Though often ominous and photogenic, Lines or squalls are much less efficient at producing violent tornadoes.
    JUNE Low Tornado Activity
    June followed May's suit with lower than average forecastable & chase-able tornado activity.
    JULY High Tornado Activity
    After most of us had thrown in the towel, July surprised storm chasers with higher than average tornado activity in the Northern Plains. On July 8th, and incredibly photogenic EF4 tornado touched down near Ashby Minnesota. A high base storm allowed the sun to light the tornado and a vibrant rainbow often accompanied the bright white tornado depending on the perspective. Storm Chaser Melonie Metz was kind enough to license her amazing footage for this video.
    2020 Climate
    2020 had lower than average tornado activity with 1075 confirmed tornadoes. (Average is 1250)
    Climatologically, the Atlantic hurricane season exceeded records
    with 30 named storms, 12 of which landed on the continental U.S.
    - 30 named storms - Previous record 28
    - 12 named U.S. storm continental landfalls - Previous record 9
    - 6 hurricanes made U.S. landfall - tied previous record
    The Western US endured the most active wildfire year on record [1983 to present]
    and the global average annual temperature was the 2nd warmest on record
    and the 5th warmest in the 126-year record in the U.S

    @Pecos Hank I went to school a few mile from where those huge tornadoes struck Southern Mississippi in April. I live in Mississippi spent my whole life surrounded by these horribly powerful things. My grandmother lives in Collins Mississippi, her house was less than five hundred meters away from that 2.5 mile wide ef4 tornado. Her property suffered immense damage. She live right off of US 49 which was a large stretch of that tornadoes path. I spent two weeks with my father cleaning and repairing her property. I saw and drove along the exact same tornado path that you did in this video. Truly amazing and devastating to revisit.

    I've seen many tornados around my house here in Arkansas. A funnel almost touch down in my neighbor's backyard (they moved a few months after), a furious tornado that later demolished thousands of homes on a mountain, and I've seen many waterspouts in Texas and Florida. Glorious sight. Also I'm pretty sure the dog at 14:13 is a Labrador Retriever. I have one named Daisy. She's really good when it comes to sniffing out thunderstorms. She has anxiety and because of all the loud sounds from the thunderstorms and dogs hearing sounds louder than we do, she hides in mom's room on dad's side of the bed. When it gets so severe, she trots to the bathroom (our "saferoom" when a tornado touches down somewhere near us.) She did that 2 weeks ago when a massive severe thunderstorm hit us, and she was terrified. I remember when it was sunny out and my mom gasped, I walked to the glass door leading to our backyard and my jaw dropped. The wall cloud on that storm was massive, strong, and absolutely gorgeous... I loved that storm tbh. That exact storm was the same one we saw that funnel in our neighbor's yard. I also remember going home and seeing a storm chaser (with one of those cars looking like one from like the movie Twister) in the exact direction we saw that wall cloud. We lost power that night (I think?) For about maybe 2 days???

    I was in the 1st mississippi tornado... the scariest moment of my life as the roof of my home was torn away. The land was completely destroyed, houses were flipped and a family even lost their life.. luckily all the communities around the area came together to help everyone out.. i was also around to help when the tornado hit Soso, were still picking up and rebuilding to this day. Tornadoes are no joke.. and you never truly understand until you’re face to face with one. i’m lucky to be alive, and my prayers are with the family that passed and their loved ones. :(
