We have a storm shelter in the backyard. With food, hot water, satellite tv and phone. If tornadoes are even a .001% occurrence there’s no excuse for not taking a shovel to your yard and making some form of under ground shelter.
Charley in 2004 spawned tornados in my neighborhood. My son thought I was insane as I watch the eye pass directly over from our front door entryway. It spun 100ft trees like washing machine agitators. Awesome power.
You have the neatest most interesting things on your channel. Lol I have a sleeping disorder due to my m.s so on rough nights from pain and such it's nice to know I can grab my phone and watch ur channel thank you.
Every night I put a documentary on, on my phone to fall asleep to. ( I also have M.S so does my mum ) if I don’t put anything on when I go to bed it takes so much longer to drop off even with all the meds. I only have it on low and it’s almost like being told a bedtime story. ( lmao I’m 42 bedtime stories are a thing of the past. Thank fuck for UA-cam).
Im born and raised in fl, I was 14 when hurricane Charley hit, I and my brothers were playing in the 100mpr sustained winds, where we lived. Ive been the many hurricanes now I'm 29 and still live in fl, the worst part is the weeks if not months without power or water after. We know the struggle.
Have never been in a hurricane never want to be in one,I went out east on a bus trip after the one hit New England,not the reason for the trip, couldn’t believe what I saw. Reminded me of tornadoes in mid west where I lived.
Is there a reason the power lines aren’t dug down? It’s always confused me that they aren’t, but I’m guessing it’s about money and time? Even here in Sweden, where we get the rare storm but never to this level, you only really see them above ground on the countryside.
I'm originally from Florida, and while I was born in Jacksonville, I moved to central Florida when I was in my 20's (I'm 38 now). When Charlie, Fran, Jeneane and Ivan came through, I was done. I've movie to Georgia and been happy since! LOL I was in Jacksonville when Hurricane Floyd came roaring up the coast and almost hit - people are like, "BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE LANDFALL!" I can tell you, I made the mistake of going to Fernandina Beach and standing in those winds. You have never experienced a Hurricane until you're 350 lbs. and having to LEAN into 75 MPH winds, and you're still losing ground. Talk about crazy power! Once I got to the car, I said to hell with that and my fiancee' at the time and I got the hell out of there!
Crazy to watch this now and see the interview with Piotrowski and his comments & reaction to the May 3, '99 tornado. He had no idea that twelve years later he'd be right on the tail of an even more destructive and deadly one in Joplin - and also be the one to sound the alarm to the authorities. Not to mention be involved in the immediate search & rescue and recovery effort. If he got an award for '99, he ought to get a presidential citation for Joplin. World needs more chasers like him (if we need any more) and less like that Weed Trimmer fella.
A large sand storm was headed for the city of Quin'lat. The people took shelter inside the city walls, except for one man who stayed outside. When asked what he was doing he replied, "I am not afraid. I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand here and make the wind respect me." Accepting the man's wishes the city walls were closed. The storm came. The man died. "The wind does not respect a fool."
The previous record-holder for the strongest tropical cyclone ever recorded anywhere on Earth-by wind speed-was Super Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines with satellite-estimated, one-minute sustained winds of 195 MPH
One of the meteorologists at Mount Washington went outside on the day of the record gust during a slightly weaker gust of ~210 mph. He said that breathing was indeed quite difficult in the lee of the building where a vacuum was being formed.
Many people talk about the tornado sucking all the oxygen out. Again there's so many ambiguities to what happens in a tornado. But someone will get caught in an updraft that sucks all the oxygen away and actually suffocate yet her children right underneath her survive. That's sort of the standard story. So debris wind damage and even oxygen are all taken from one place and put another at will by the mighty tornado. This is the first DOC that I've seen them talk about 300 miles per hour wind. You see the guy can only handle 170 for a couple minutes. You can only imagine double that breathing would be impossible. One could only hope to be sucked up high enough to get oxygen and to be spinning fast enough that your centrifical Force makes your Landing a little bit softer. Tornadoes make humans say things like " well she lost a leg but luckily she was so muddy her stub got packed with mud and she didn't bleed to death obligatory thank God" . We are irascible creatures I have witnessed many tornadoes and we're so nuts there's part of you that just wants to stand there and let it take you it feels so, at one with nature I suppose. I have noticed men are more susceptible to this than women However when I traveled with tornado Chasers. Those women are singular of purpose and do everything the men do. Jumping out into 170 mile an hour winds to put a sensor in the ground. So in answer to your question. After all that Maybe ️ 😂 ❤️
@@kenrichards4838 that is one way. The barometric pressure is another. And then just wind speed moving the oxygen faster than you can pull it into your lungs. Remember oxygen is particles floating around in the air. They can certainly be blown by way too fast. Talking about not being able to breathe is one of the things people say most that survived tornadoes. Yay nature. But really they are nature's vacuum. When it was animals and native peoples they just simply moved away from the storm. Now with our millions of people permanently embedded and thousands of people purposely placing themselves in the past of tornadoes. The damage is naturally greater. Yet, take that a step further factoring in population growth I bet overall tornado deaths are down since they would hit towns in even the 70s before Advanced radar.. Our population is double now what it was in the 70s. That's a lot more targets for an indiscriminate wind tunnel that are now becoming a mile wide with multiple tributary. It would appear that a mega cell will hit a major population area and will be of a magnitude substantial enough to do real damage. Our fair NYC is its own little Tornado Alley. And we are our own little micros weather system. Where an F4 tornado to hit Manhattan. There's a million people per square mile. All living in glass buildings. They say the buildings are windproof. Well Sandy took whatever it wanted. With low hurricane speeds. Actually a tropical storm at that point. Tornado triple speed winds hitting NYC. Well this is what kind of weirdos we are. I'm interested to see what happens now
I experienced an EF2 tornado in Allentown, PA a few years ago. THAT was bad enough! It hit a high school but, fortunately, the building was vacant because of summer vacation. No one was injured but it was intense! I can't even BEGIN to imagine what an EF4 or EF5 tornado must be like.
I was in Midwest City when the May 3rd tornado went through; hugging my toilet in my apartment watching the walls separate from the floor and settle back down again several times. It felt and sounded like being strapped to the propeller of a helicopter.
That guy with the powder: And how do they plan to bring the moisture back? They're going to dry up the oceans eventually. Uh, kind of important, the oceans.
Wasn't Jeff Piotrowski also the guy who was in the Joplin area in 2011 when they had that terrible tornado? He followed that one on the ground as well and radioed the location to police. Brave guy. Brave and with a death wish.
The actual story of the record wind on Mt. Washington is even crazier than described here. One of the meteorologists, the legendary Sal Paulgica, had to go outside and climb a ladder to de-ice the anemometer. While he was halfway up, a 210+ mph gust hit and he was pinned to the side of the building for over two minutes, unable to go up or down. He said it felt like laying under a 2 ton weight. Despite this, he carried on and somehow managed to complete the de-icing. Later, when the record gust occurred, they said the walls of their small, wooden hut bulged inward like sails! I've been to the summit, and the hut (which is still standing), is held down by heavy anchor chains draped over the roof and bolted into the ground! More than 80 years later, the 231 mph gust STILL stands as the fastest wind speed ever directly recorded by humans, the fastest wind speed ever recorded with an analog device, and as the fastest wind speed ever recorded outside of a cyclonic system. The observatory has something called the "Century Club", the membership of which is limited to those who can walk around the observation deck in 100+ mph sustained winds without grabbing onto the rail or ground for support. Many have tried, but few have succeed in joining.
Being from Massachusetts i have been to the summit of Mt. Washington several times. All during the summer though, no way i would go near there in winter!
Yes he has a office chair in his Dow Trucks. Josh is pretty cool dude to watch, you should check some of his stuff with filmaker Shaun! All his Dow Trucks are custom built to his own specs! I would have a comfortable chair in mine to if I was going to chase the planets most powerful storms!
Cole Anderson He was largely responsible for genocide and other atrocities, but no one person could cause mass extinctions on the scale that the Earth itself can provide. Whether humanity as a species is capable of it, however, may be another matter entirely. Even then, we couldn't hold a candle to Nature's unstoppable force. We've just been incredibly luck (and maybe occasionally a little bit clever) to have lasted even this long.
Personal opinion: which would you rather live through: Tornado or Hurricane? Personally I would rather live through a tornado. WHen it comes to them they can be hit or miss, plus they relatively small size in comparison to hurricanes makes it easier to avoid them. With hurricanes you'd probably at worst have to jump to the next state to avoid it entirely, plus with their large size can tell you how long it will take before they pass. Hurricanes can bring fierce winds, flooding in most areas, but they are also capable of producing tornadoes, which can be hell to live through.
I'd rather go through a hurricane. Many tornadoes don't give you any warning time, especially if it's at night and you're asleep. Hurricanes can be predicted days in advance and give you time to prepare or to leave.
fighter5583 With Hurricanes you get a big head start and are warned far in advance to head to safety. Tornados can pop up in a matter of minutes, sometimes without any warnings.
I have experienced high wind in a cold front back in 2009. My anemometer stopped recording at 67 mph. A man who was a NOAA weather spotter said his anemometer recorded 90 mph. In 2012 a microburst occurred and blew rain in between the wall and roof at 82 mph where I was living. We don't have that much wind here, or I, I should say, I haven't seen wind that high before.
Should we be messing around with nature and trying to prevent hurricanes from happening? Hurricanes are a key part of regulating the planet temperature,we start messing around with that what will be the long term damage?
Well, think about it. We'd want to keep everything balanced out and have normal weather patterns. Besides, We can't really dissipate storms yet; we've tried (I believe; someone told me so) and it doesn't work well enough yet to break up storms.
.Nein! That will take millions of dollars to do, the best thing to do right now is make towns further offshore and make bigger sea walls. The day we control weather is the day we kill mother nature. STILL DONT SEE HOW
32:45 make a whole house like this and expect it not to sink.... Not to mention the astronomical cost difference. But if you live where tornadoes happen, you can see why I would blame you and not the storm.
35:00 no... That board did not "save your life". You would have been a lot better off without it ever entering your body to begin with..... Did you know you live in a place called Tornado Alley.... Best to invest in a storm shelter when you first move there. Cant learn from others mistakes. Gotta literally shove a log through you skull for you to take your life seriously... humans.... smh
30:35 - Pretty sad that some of the walls they are testing can't resist the penetrating force of a 2x4 at 100mph but yet hundreds of years ago we were able to construct ships with sides able to withstand a cannonball impacting with much greater mass and speed.
A thing that isn't noted, at least so far in my viewing, is the Enhanced Fujita scale which takes into account the *type* of building in regards to destruction caused. Formerly F-4 tornadoes could drop down to EF-2 or lower because the area it hits could be consisting of less well constructed buildings.
Is it just me, or does it seem that houses in the Oklahoma area don't have foundations? If this is the case, can someone tell me why? I'm assuming there is a reason.
+Justin Lee I have relatives who live in Norman. They have a shelter room in the floor of there garage but most homes do not because of the rock that makes up the ground and it is quite costly to go below ground level so most people live in a slab home with no basement or below ground safe room. Sounds crazy to me in the heart of tornado alley but that's the scoop!
Damn i heard this music before it was playin other Tornado's show, ''Touchdown'' and ''Chasers'' Damn i miss that Show These music when i heard it at 13:10 to 14:41
wind alone is not so dangerous, it's the debris that is dangerous, everything that gets caught by the wind, is flying around like missiles, and it will break everything it hits, that is what's so dangerous with storms and tornadoes.
+Petur A. Jacobsen You kidding me? Wind is equally as dangerous as its debris. Wind can pick up a man and throw him high into the sky as the rotation picks up AND can also throw people MILES away. You're telling me you can survive a mile high drop, let alone a half mile?
Few people who have grown up in the more active parts of Tornado Alley ever want to even see a tornado, let alone try to move toward one. You can only spend so many hours in the basement as a small child waiting for the tornado alert to end before the experience marks you for life. Not to mention how eerily quiet it gets, and the weird color the sky turns when one is really approaching. People from the rural Midwest are known for being tough and stoic, but I can guarantee you that a tornado is the one thing that will scare the shit out of any farmer. To be honest, just looking at the tornadoes in some of these clips makes me feel sick to my stomach. I think these scientists and "tornado chasers" who go out and try to actually approach tornadoes are fucking idiots. A doctorate in meteorology isn't going to stop that tornado you're "chasing" from turning around and whipping your ass.
well atleast can get out of the way by going below ground with these and not have to leave town like in hurricanes (would have to evacuate). but its nice that hurricanes you know way ahead of time when they are coming
Tornados are my fave natural disasters ever in the known world I was young I try to learn as much as I can but cuz only imagine the size noise of tornadoes on other planets like the one in jumpter.
I can’t say what the fastest wind speed I have personally witnessed, but I’ve been unable to walk from the wind. You really do feel like you can’t breathe...
To reduce your risk of being injured or killed in a tornado: Don't live in an a place called "Tornado Alley". Hurricanes? Don't live on the beach (or hang out there waiting for the storm to come in) or below sea-level. Volcanos? Don't live at the base of them. Erosion? Don't build your home on a cliff facing the ocean. Some things are common sense.
You don't have to live on the beach to get affected by a hurricane, which can be as big as 500 miles or more in diameter. I remember back in 2003 when Isabell came rolling through. I live no where near a beach, yet I lost cable (not power thankfully though it flickered all night), and we had downed trees and powerlines.
fighter5583 haha Yeah, tell me about it. I remember Floyd and Fran... good god. We were without power for a couple weeks with both storms. With Floyd, we couldn't even get to the main road to get into town due to flooding for a solid week. We're a solid 120 miles inland, at that. Pretty impressive!
see here's the thing, people build their houses on volcanoes because people have to make a living somehow, and for some that's farming, volcanic ash makes soil rich with nutrients and absorbs most of the moisture, allowing it to be fed to the plants, people build their houses on the prairie because again good farming land, people live on the beach because its sunny year round, and well people who live bellow sea level and on a cliff facing the ocean, well you've got me there, I really cant figure out why people do stupid stuff like the last two
I live in Southern Indiana and we got storm damage in 2007 from a Hurricane that hit Galveston Texas and still had hurricane force winds by the time it got up to here, It knocked down trees all over the place including one that fell towards me while I was outside, had I not ran down the hill I'd be dead now. Indiana is about as far inland in the US as you can get, so to say don't live near the coast? It doesn't matter. No matter where in the world you live there are natural disasters of one kind or another and if not, then there are man made disasters to compensate for it, lol
Since watching these videos ive came up with an idea and i wonder if id work. So you boardrd up your house but the wind foce sucks up the roof because theres no circulation going thru the house is there any way you can drill hoes into the boards? And leave the window open so that the air has a way to go in and out the house?
A number of reasons, actually. One, it's not always practical. In some areas, the water table is only a handful of inches below the surface, or there may be other factors. Even a basement in areas like these is problematic. Two, it's statistically unnecessary. The odds of being directly affected by a tornado are exceedingly remote, even if you actually live square in the middle of Tornado Alley. Yes, when they hit, it's devastating, but evaluated on a per-capita basis, the chances of being hit or glanced by a tornado are very small. Seriously, I lived in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio all my life aside from a four-year hitch in the Navy. I've been through probably a hundred tornadoes - actually had eyes on a half-dozen or so. 55 years, and never actually been closer than about a mile. Many people feel it isn't worth the expense.
So it's expensive to build a storm shelter in or below each house.However,a designated shelter for a street or an area should be part of government strategy in these high -risk areas.(much like the air-raid shelters we used to great effect during the blitz in the uk. )
@@flossie5432 That isn't a bad idea, but the sad fact is, it just isn't practical to build and maintain a shelter like that. For example, it can't be left open 24/7 for any and all to just wander in; it'll get vandalized and/or appropriated. So, at the very least, it'll have to be kept locked. Who's got the keys? And will he/she be around at the critical moment? You can't have someone guarding it or manning it at all times. And what happens if the one with the keys ISN'T around at the critical moment? People trying to get into that shelter will be OUTSIDE, exposed directly to the danger. I think you'll agree that, given the incredibly short warning of a tornado, you'd be better off staying in your house, where at least you have SOME protection, instead of risking a run down the street in the path of a tornado to a shelter that MIGHT be locked. Your heart's in the right place, it really is, but in the end, everybody has to play the odds, and everyone has to assess a risk-to-cost factor. And for any particular individual, the risk of being hurt or killed by a tornado is very remote.
I wouldn't have believed New England could get a Tornado, but we did! Saturday Morning from 66 a.m., to 11:45 a.m., we were "under the gun". I heard about it, but i didn't think we'd get one! New England however, does get them. The only most violent hurricane we had was what I saw after a hurricane when I took my daughter to school, she was in first grade, i found a large tree that had come down, and the one my parents went through, my dad was working in a mill when the 1935 hurricane came through, and picked up a ton oil tank, and made it air born like a toy.
One thing I am wondering is if at 150 MPH roofs would be lifted off the houses and all that stuff. In 1930 i think is what they said when they measured 230 MPH with a thing mounted on the roof of their cabin. How the hell did that cabin from 1930 not blow apart? Kinda weird to me. Those type of winds on a 1930s cabin would tear the building to shreds.
+King Wacky Because the houses these days are build on a code to stand a maximum wind gust of 90 MPH. after that they can start to fail, if not destroy. Yeah, I know, its pretty stupid! If you have a houses made of brick, concrete and steel, even an EF-5 tornado wouldn't be able to destroy it. Just will need new windows and doors haha
Zeak Yes I know but you brought up new houses THESE DAYS I was talking about a 1930s cabin, no reason to even mention buildings these days that is why i said what I did.
+King Wacky ...I beg to differ. A properly-built log cabin can take an obscene amount of punishment before it collapses. A log cabin is basically built out of tree trunks; get the corners right and it's not moving unless the tornado gets right on top of it. Peace.
44:08 The hubris of trying to control the weather is astounding. We're haphazard with precautions like proper building construction, maintaining storm breaks, or even just not allowing so much population in areas typically hard hit by tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and storm surges. But oh, we're going to stop the storms and continue living wherever and however we want. We're going to dump tons of silver iodide or "a polymer based powder" or something else without any clue about secondary effects on the ecosystem, and without any understanding of how these weather events may be key to how the planet functions. Sometimes we humans are just total idiots.
are you serious dude? what kind of commie are you trying to dictate where a person can live. A person can live ANYWHERE they want to. A mountain, a house boat, AND on the COAST. I hope to god you never ever get anywhere close to a position in government.
Great video. You spoke of important messages that go hand in hand with these type of storms and included ideas of prevention, which are quite interesting. I love the interest in safely finding out about these storms with the idea of finding solutions to minimize casualties from these major storms.
The hurricane that struck Galveston texas in September 1900 caused 6,000 fatalities. Whereas the tri state tornado of March 1925 killed 695 in terms of fatalities caused by American windstorms hurricanes are worse.
I'd be more scared of a tornado. Since they are more frequent, are more powerful and can happen nearly anywhere. Hurricanes mostly effect only the coast and you have alot for warning for when they arrive BUT they are not a joke at all.
Hi im from los angeles so i dont know shit. Lets say i lived in tornado alley and i have no underground thing. Can i dig an 8 foot hole and hide there during a nador and survive?
t4705mb6 I know what you mean, bur 'Angry' is possbly used as an ajective and not as a noun in that case. An ajective describes the noun. I can also tell you there is no such thing as a 'sky'. There is space , air space, clouds and birds in the wind riding the air. But no sky. There are heavens, stars, the moon and planets. So where is the sky if there was one? Where does it begin and end. They talk of blue sky, but the blue is solar light in space or outer space. The orange red sky is again solar light striking atmospheric particals such as cloud vapour. But ' Sky' is a general concept people generally understand as it is in general usage. So regardless of the fact it does not exist, thosands use it. We now have skybox, skynet, skyrocket, The East Sky, West Sky, Northern and Sourthern Sky, The Night Sky and I just downloaded SKYpe, for free calls through the sky. But try going out to see the night sky. You can see right through it. I saw Orion, the moon and further still. We even have sky news. So what is the sky? It is just a noun word often used to describe somewhere above and out side. Does the moon have a sky? If yes, is it the same sky as the earth sky, So a common shared sky. People use words. They use words to describe words. More words to describe what words are doing or what part they play in a string of words generally known as a sentence on earth. People, write articals, news papers, books and make documentaries, all using words. Some big words, some small words, some nice, cute or loving words. Some people use dark words or swear words to describe what they see. Some words express surprise and others contempt. "Angry" is I believe just being used as a decriptive word to describe the noun. It is being used to help the reader to better understand the content.
+Michael Greenwood It's like calling criminals "evil" or "monsters". I only expect about 5% of "civilized society" to understand what I'm saying because we're really (basically) still floundering in superstition - naive , gullible and BEGGING for psychopathic SICK flim-flam men to run the world. WHY? Because people are very VERY *VERY* lazy and see it as ..."easier".
+t4705mb6 Yes, in some ways. Monsters are adjectives. Words use to decribe the actions or deeds of others as perceved by the view. Say a Mad Mafioso hitman ties a plastic bag over someones head to kill him befor he shoots. He may be described as a sick mad monstrous villan. Whilst a fellow mafioso may disagree saying he is a 'Good guy' or a Good Fellow'. The adjectives help us to understands a persons perception of an event. They are monsters as per the perceptions of the judges. To others they are all children of God. I prefer 'monster' as the adjective to descibe cold blooded murder of others in an horrific manner. So bits of Islam are evil in my opinion where as Islamists generally can not see that. But they accept happily that non believers are of Hell. Where as that is not how others see them selves. Adjectives, sometimes just words other times they are the words that get a person sentenced.
Try to imagine the supersonic annihilation effects of the 1,200 mph winds of Neptune. Wondering what the destructive effects and differences would be of relatively high speed winds upon a house thats nailed together, compared to a house thats screwed together, nails would eventually just slide out, but the definitely much stronger and tighter screws would have to be ripped and torn apart. "Its not nice to fool mother nature" Like seriously wow > 37:29
The nails don't just slide out. They are specially places so that they face the opposite direction of a tornado's force. You would need to snap not only hundreds of nails but a ton of very strong wood to tear off a wall. Screws wouldn't do much better.
We have a storm shelter in the backyard. With food, hot water, satellite tv and phone. If tornadoes are even a .001% occurrence there’s no excuse for not taking a shovel to your yard and making some form of under ground shelter.

I can tell you, I made the mistake of going to Fernandina Beach and standing in those winds.

Dziękujemy.
I'm curious wether it would even be possible to breath, in such high wind.
One of the meteorologists at Mount Washington went outside on the day of the record gust during a slightly weaker gust of ~210 mph. He said that breathing was indeed quite difficult in the lee of the building where a vacuum was being formed.
Yes it is difficult. I experienced that while living in Chicago when there was a blizzard.
Suck the oxygen out of ur lungs right?
Many people talk about the tornado sucking all the oxygen out. Again there's so many ambiguities to what happens in a tornado. But someone will get caught in an updraft that sucks all the oxygen away and actually suffocate yet her children right underneath her survive.
That's sort of the standard story.
So debris wind damage and even oxygen are all taken from one place and put another at will by the mighty tornado.
This is the first DOC that I've seen them talk about 300 miles per hour wind. You see the guy can only handle 170 for a couple minutes.
You can only imagine double that breathing would be impossible. One could only hope to be sucked up high enough to get oxygen and to be spinning fast enough that your centrifical Force makes your Landing a little bit softer.
Tornadoes make humans say things like
" well she lost a leg but luckily she was so muddy her stub got packed with mud and she didn't bleed to death obligatory thank God"
. We are irascible creatures
I have witnessed many tornadoes and we're so nuts there's part of you that just wants to stand there and let it take you it feels so, at one with nature I suppose.
I have noticed men are more susceptible to this than women
However when I traveled with tornado Chasers. Those women are singular of purpose and do everything the men do.
Jumping out into 170 mile an hour winds to put a sensor in the ground.
So in answer to your question. After all that
Maybe ️ 😂 ❤️
@@kenrichards4838 that is one way. The barometric pressure is another. And then just wind speed moving the oxygen faster than you can pull it into your lungs. Remember oxygen is particles floating around in the air. They can certainly be blown by way too fast. Talking about not being able to breathe is one of the things people say most that survived tornadoes. Yay nature. But really they are nature's vacuum. When it was animals and native peoples they just simply moved away from the storm.
Now with our millions of people permanently embedded and thousands of people purposely placing themselves in the past of tornadoes. The damage is naturally greater.
Yet, take that a step further factoring in population growth
I bet overall tornado deaths are down since they would hit towns in even the 70s before Advanced radar..
Our population is double now what it was in the 70s. That's a lot more targets for an indiscriminate wind tunnel that are now becoming a mile wide with multiple tributary.
It would appear that a mega cell will hit a major population area and will be of a magnitude substantial enough to do real damage.
Our fair NYC is its own little Tornado Alley. And we are our own little micros weather system. Where an F4 tornado to hit Manhattan. There's a million people per square mile. All living in glass buildings.
They say the buildings are windproof.
Well Sandy took whatever it wanted. With low hurricane speeds. Actually a tropical storm at that point.
Tornado triple speed winds hitting NYC. Well this is what kind of weirdos we are. I'm interested to see what happens now
03:28 - 04:28 That windy breakfast is amazing, I'd order there. Wonder if their flapjacks are any good. lol
They are great. However, you must get them to go. 🤭
I believe the best home construction for the tornado belt and hurricane prone areas is the monolithic dome home, and a good underground storm shelter.
I experienced an EF2 tornado in Allentown, PA a few years ago. THAT was bad enough! It hit a high school but, fortunately, the building was vacant because of summer vacation. No one was injured but it was intense! I can't even BEGIN to imagine what an EF4 or EF5 tornado must be like.
Niklas Enblom
I was in Midwest City when the May 3rd tornado went through; hugging my toilet in my apartment watching the walls separate from the floor and settle back down again several times. It felt and sounded like being strapped to the propeller of a helicopter.
Fastest land wind speed ever recorded in that tornado. Over 300 mph.
@@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 318 mph to be exact! 😀😉
The winds on the gas giants would make anything on Earth seem like a gentle breeze.
231 miles per hour wow that is amazing
And to think I thought eighty mile an hour winds in Britain
Was scary .
imagine 300 MPH that occurred in Bridge Creek Oklahoma.
Julie Price That speed is rare most tornadoes don't get stronger than EF-3.
@@lonewolf031 MOST tornadoes are efo & ef1
I live just outside Jerrell Texas the tornado there was 261mph.
Cyclone Olivia 1996 Australia officially recorded 253mph
Remember! Most hurricanes can also spawn tornadoes to in some cases!
10:15 they should take that wind tunnel up to 300 mph. then that beck guy would know what it's like to be inside an EF5 tornado
We didn't have a storm shelter, damn tornado tore off half of the house in Georgia in April 2011
up near rome?
Maxx Madd A little north of Rome in Northwest GA. It's close to Alabama and Tennessee and basically ANY tornadoes we would get came from Alabama.
man ...yeah you can get some nasty weather from alabama,glad your safe.
That guy with the powder: And how do they plan to bring the moisture back? They're going to dry up the oceans eventually. Uh, kind of important, the oceans.
Wasn't Jeff Piotrowski also the guy who was in the Joplin area in 2011 when they had that terrible tornado? He followed that one on the ground as well and radioed the location to police. Brave guy. Brave and with a death wish.
The actual story of the record wind on Mt. Washington is even crazier than described here. One of the meteorologists, the legendary Sal Paulgica, had to go outside and climb a ladder to de-ice the anemometer. While he was halfway up, a 210+ mph gust hit and he was pinned to the side of the building for over two minutes, unable to go up or down. He said it felt like laying under a 2 ton weight. Despite this, he carried on and somehow managed to complete the de-icing. Later, when the record gust occurred, they said the walls of their small, wooden hut bulged inward like sails! I've been to the summit, and the hut (which is still standing), is held down by heavy anchor chains draped over the roof and bolted into the ground!
More than 80 years later, the 231 mph gust STILL stands as the fastest wind speed ever directly recorded by humans, the fastest wind speed ever recorded with an analog device, and as the fastest wind speed ever recorded outside of a cyclonic system.
The observatory has something called the "Century Club", the membership of which is limited to those who can walk around the observation deck in 100+ mph sustained winds without grabbing onto the rail or ground for support. Many have tried, but few have succeed in joining.
Being from Massachusetts i have been to the summit of Mt. Washington several times. All during the summer though, no way i would go near there in winter!
They just made a record wind chill recently.
Can we acknowledge the shot at 4:30... 😅
That looks like the film crew had some fun shooting it.

Yes he has a office chair in his Dow Trucks. Josh is pretty cool dude to watch, you should check some of his stuff with filmaker Shaun! All his Dow Trucks are custom built to his own specs! I would have a comfortable chair in mine to if I was going to chase the planets most powerful storms!

AshErika Michaela WHAT (+_+):'( I'm sorry
I always think of twister when anyone mentions they’re a storm chaser
A racing motorcyclist can experience extreme wind speeds.
Awesome vidios! Thank God for storm chasers & severe weather forecasters
Personal opinion: which would you rather live through: Tornado or Hurricane? Personally I would rather live through a tornado. WHen it comes to them they can be hit or miss, plus they relatively small size in comparison to hurricanes makes it easier to avoid them. With hurricanes you'd probably at worst have to jump to the next state to avoid it entirely, plus with their large size can tell you how long it will take before they pass. Hurricanes can bring fierce winds, flooding in most areas, but they are also capable of producing tornadoes, which can be hell to live through.
I live on the gulf coast and been through all hurricanes the last 30 years, I'd take another 30 years against them vs any tornado in my backyard.
I'd rather go through a hurricane. Many tornadoes don't give you any warning time, especially if it's at night and you're asleep. Hurricanes can be predicted days in advance and give you time to prepare or to leave.
I'll take a hurricane, for the same reasons that Rebel9668 listed. It's all about prep time.
Stoney Lonsome It doesn't. That's just how you think it means. Otherwise it's a pretty straight-forward questions.
fighter5583 With Hurricanes you get a big head start and are warned far in advance to head to safety. Tornados can pop up in a matter of minutes, sometimes without any warnings.
All my life I've prayed for a storm like you...
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you.
Cool doc. Thanks for uploading it.
A hurricane called Ike blew our house away. You don´t forget an event like that, and life was never the same again.
now how you feel charley toke my house and car
I remember ike it did alot of damage in the town where I lived as well much not too much damage
It should be code up and down Tornado Alley that all schools have storm shelters.
I have experienced high wind in a cold front back in 2009. My anemometer stopped recording at 67 mph. A man who was a NOAA weather spotter said his anemometer recorded 90 mph. In 2012 a microburst occurred and blew rain in between the wall and roof at 82 mph where I was living. We don't have that much wind here, or I, I should say, I haven't seen wind that high before.
Should we be messing around with nature and trying to prevent hurricanes from happening?
Hurricanes are a key part of regulating the planet temperature,we start messing around with that what will be the long term damage?
They just study hurricanes so people can avoid them, they don't try to stop them, stopping something the size of a hurricane is impossible.
We might mess up the weather patterns though.
Waterkarr Side Shiz ouo How? Unless pollution would affect it, i dont see how
Well, think about it. We'd want to keep everything balanced out and have normal weather patterns.
Besides, We can't really dissipate storms yet; we've tried (I believe; someone told me so) and it doesn't work well enough yet to break up storms.
.Nein! That will take millions of dollars to do, the best thing to do right now is make towns further offshore and make bigger sea walls. The day we control weather is the day we kill mother nature. STILL DONT SEE HOW
32:45 make a whole house like this and expect it not to sink.... Not to mention the astronomical cost difference. But if you live where tornadoes happen, you can see why I would blame you and not the storm.
35:00 no... That board did not "save your life". You would have been a lot better off without it ever entering your body to begin with.....
Did you know you live in a place called Tornado Alley.... Best to invest in a storm shelter when you first move there. Cant learn from others mistakes. Gotta literally shove a log through you skull for you to take your life seriously...
humans.... smh
These videos are so fascinating. 🙂
I know 😕
24:13 that guy also appeared in the Joplin tornado documentary
Hey It's Gabby
30:35 - Pretty sad that some of the walls they are testing can't resist the penetrating force of a 2x4 at 100mph but yet hundreds of years ago we were able to construct ships with sides able to withstand a cannonball impacting with much greater mass and speed.
A thing that isn't noted, at least so far in my viewing, is the Enhanced Fujita scale which takes into account the *type* of building in regards to destruction caused. Formerly F-4 tornadoes could drop down to EF-2 or lower because the area it hits could be consisting of less well constructed buildings.

Is it just me, or does it seem that houses in the Oklahoma area don't have foundations? If this is the case, can someone tell me why? I'm assuming there is a reason.
+Justin Lee I have relatives who live in Norman. They have a shelter room in the floor of there garage but most homes do not because of the rock that makes up the ground and it is quite costly to go below ground level so most people live in a slab home with no basement or below ground safe room.
Sounds crazy to me in the heart of tornado alley but that's the scoop!

Damn i heard this music before it was playin other Tornado's show, ''Touchdown'' and ''Chasers'' Damn i miss that Show
These music when i heard it at 13:10 to 14:41
Get out of the winds? Is that possible without a warning system?
Fascinated by storms. So sad when folks don't heed the warnings. I thought Katrina was the worse than Andrew. Either way they were both monsters.
1.hide in a cellar/basement/under grond
2.bath tub pipes will help
3.the wood will help in a closet
wind alone is not so dangerous, it's the debris that is dangerous, everything that gets caught by the wind, is flying around like missiles, and it will break everything it hits, that is what's so dangerous with storms and tornadoes.
+Petur A. Jacobsen
wind can shatter windows, which can cut you
wind can knock down a wall right on top of you
wind can sweep you off your feet
+Petur A. Jacobsen You kidding me? Wind is equally as dangerous as its debris. Wind can pick up a man and throw him high into the sky as the rotation picks up AND can also throw people MILES away. You're telling me you can survive a mile high drop, let alone a half mile?
Bone Dad ahem what about a woman!
You clearly have never heard of Jarrell.
When did this series first air? I'm guessing mid 90's?
Few people who have grown up in the more active parts of Tornado Alley ever want to even see a tornado, let alone try to move toward one. You can only spend so many hours in the basement as a small child waiting for the tornado alert to end before the experience marks you for life. Not to mention how eerily quiet it gets, and the weird color the sky turns when one is really approaching. People from the rural Midwest are known for being tough and stoic, but I can guarantee you that a tornado is the one thing that will scare the shit out of any farmer. To be honest, just looking at the tornadoes in some of these clips makes me feel sick to my stomach.
I think these scientists and "tornado chasers" who go out and try to actually approach tornadoes are fucking idiots. A doctorate in meteorology isn't going to stop that tornado you're "chasing" from turning around and whipping your ass.
Death Wish.
Irma in the Virgin Islands we had gusts over 300. And no a identityed 151 tornadoes on st John it was like nothing you can imagine
It's so odd seeing Jeff Piotrowski looking young and having brown hair.
well atleast can get out of the way by going below ground with these and not have to leave town like in hurricanes (would have to evacuate). but its nice that hurricanes you know way ahead of time when they are coming
The 25 people died because Charley turned right at the last minute... right into poor Punta Gorda. :^(
42:35 - What kind of shutters are those he is saying survived the hurricane as apposed to his wood shutters?
Tornados are my fave natural disasters ever in the known world I was young I try to learn as much as I can but cuz only imagine the size noise of tornadoes on other planets like the one in jumpter.
tornado isnt a disaster. When it destroys something,....that is the disaster.
I can’t say what the fastest wind speed I have personally witnessed, but I’ve been unable to walk from the wind. You really do feel like you can’t breathe...

To reduce your risk of being injured or killed in a tornado: Don't live in an a place called "Tornado Alley". Hurricanes? Don't live on the beach (or hang out there waiting for the storm to come in) or below sea-level. Volcanos? Don't live at the base of them. Erosion? Don't build your home on a cliff facing the ocean. Some things are common sense.
You don't have to live on the beach to get affected by a hurricane, which can be as big as 500 miles or more in diameter. I remember back in 2003 when Isabell came rolling through. I live no where near a beach, yet I lost cable (not power thankfully though it flickered all night), and we had downed trees and powerlines.
fighter5583 haha Yeah, tell me about it. I remember Floyd and Fran... good god. We were without power for a couple weeks with both storms. With Floyd, we couldn't even get to the main road to get into town due to flooding for a solid week. We're a solid 120 miles inland, at that. Pretty impressive!
see here's the thing, people build their houses on volcanoes because people have to make a living somehow, and for some that's farming, volcanic ash makes soil rich with nutrients and absorbs most of the moisture, allowing it to be fed to the plants, people build their houses on the prairie because again good farming land, people live on the beach because its sunny year round, and well people who live bellow sea level and on a cliff facing the ocean, well you've got me there, I really cant figure out why people do stupid stuff like the last two
I live in Southern Indiana and we got storm damage in 2007 from a Hurricane that hit Galveston Texas and still had hurricane force winds by the time it got up to here, It knocked down trees all over the place including one that fell towards me while I was outside, had I not ran down the hill I'd be dead now. Indiana is about as far inland in the US as you can get, so to say don't live near the coast? It doesn't matter. No matter where in the world you live there are natural disasters of one kind or another and if not, then there are man made disasters to compensate for it, lol
Lise Adler So, basically don't live on earth.
Since watching these videos ive came up with an idea and i wonder if id work.
So you boardrd up your house but the wind foce sucks up the roof because theres no circulation going thru the house is there any way you can drill hoes into the boards? And leave the window open so that the air has a way to go in and out the house?
why dont they make it that everyone house now in the 21 century should have a storm shelter they have to have a storm shelter
A number of reasons, actually. One, it's not always practical. In some areas, the water table is only a handful of inches below the surface, or there may be other factors. Even a basement in areas like these is problematic.
Two, it's statistically unnecessary. The odds of being directly affected by a tornado are exceedingly remote, even if you actually live square in the middle of Tornado Alley. Yes, when they hit, it's devastating, but evaluated on a per-capita basis, the chances of being hit or glanced by a tornado are very small. Seriously, I lived in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio all my life aside from a four-year hitch in the Navy. I've been through probably a hundred tornadoes - actually had eyes on a half-dozen or so. 55 years, and never actually been closer than about a mile. Many people feel it isn't worth the expense.
So it's expensive to build a storm shelter in or below each house.However,a designated shelter for a street or an area should be part of government strategy in these high -risk areas.(much like the air-raid shelters we used to great effect during the blitz in the uk. )
@@flossie5432
That isn't a bad idea, but the sad fact is, it just isn't practical to build and maintain a shelter like that. For example, it can't be left open 24/7 for any and all to just wander in; it'll get vandalized and/or appropriated. So, at the very least, it'll have to be kept locked. Who's got the keys? And will he/she be around at the critical moment? You can't have someone guarding it or manning it at all times. And what happens if the one with the keys ISN'T around at the critical moment? People trying to get into that shelter will be OUTSIDE, exposed directly to the danger. I think you'll agree that, given the incredibly short warning of a tornado, you'd be better off staying in your house, where at least you have SOME protection, instead of risking a run down the street in the path of a tornado to a shelter that MIGHT be locked.
Your heart's in the right place, it really is, but in the end, everybody has to play the odds, and everyone has to assess a risk-to-cost factor. And for any particular individual, the risk of being hurt or killed by a tornado is very remote.
I wouldn't have believed New England could get a Tornado, but we did! Saturday Morning from 66 a.m., to 11:45 a.m., we were "under the gun". I heard about it, but i didn't think we'd get one! New England however, does get them. The only most violent hurricane we had was what I saw after a hurricane when I took my daughter to school, she was in first grade, i found a large tree that had come down, and the one my parents went through, my dad was working in a mill when the 1935 hurricane came through, and picked up a ton oil tank, and made it air born like a toy.
Black Friday, Edmonton Alberta... That's somewhere no one suspected a massive tornado to hit.
One thing I am wondering is if at 150 MPH roofs would be lifted off the houses and all that stuff. In 1930 i think is what they said when they measured 230 MPH with a thing mounted on the roof of their cabin. How the hell did that cabin from 1930 not blow apart? Kinda weird to me. Those type of winds on a 1930s cabin would tear the building to shreds.
+King Wacky Because the houses these days are build on a code to stand a maximum wind gust of 90 MPH. after that they can start to fail, if not destroy. Yeah, I know, its pretty stupid! If you have a houses made of brick, concrete and steel, even an EF-5 tornado wouldn't be able to destroy it. Just will need new windows and doors haha
Zeak
Yes well there is no way a 1930s cabin would survive 230 MPH winds.
Oh i never said a cabin would. You should read my text above more carefully!!!
Zeak
Yes I know but you brought up new houses THESE DAYS I was talking about a 1930s cabin, no reason to even mention buildings these days that is why i said what I did.
+King Wacky ...I beg to differ. A properly-built log cabin can take an obscene amount of punishment before it collapses. A log cabin is basically built out of tree trunks; get the corners right and it's not moving unless the tornado gets right on top of it. Peace.
I have never witnessed a tornado but I have had a few nightmares about them.
44:08 The hubris of trying to control the weather is astounding. We're haphazard with precautions like proper building construction, maintaining storm breaks, or even just not allowing so much population in areas typically hard hit by tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and storm surges. But oh, we're going to stop the storms and continue living wherever and however we want. We're going to dump tons of silver iodide or "a polymer based powder" or something else without any clue about secondary effects on the ecosystem, and without any understanding of how these weather events may be key to how the planet functions.
Sometimes we humans are just total idiots.
are you serious dude? what kind of commie are you trying to dictate where a person can live. A person can live ANYWHERE they want to. A mountain, a house boat, AND on the COAST. I hope to god you never ever get anywhere close to a position in government.
It’s not only about how strong the walls are, it’s also about the weight. A tornado can pick that stuff up!
I had to play the video again... The comments kept me cracking up for almost 20 min!! :)
They had me cracking up for 20mph!
Great video. You spoke of important messages that go hand in hand with these type of storms and included ideas of prevention, which are quite interesting. I love the interest in safely finding out about these storms with the idea of finding solutions to minimize casualties from these major storms.
whos here in 2020 online?
apparently no one. its 2024.
Tornado winds over 300 miles per hour. How does Mt. Washington still have the world record highest winds?
That breakfast scene is hilarious!
A tornado can put a tooth pick through a two by four without breaking the toothpick
Rip North Carolina 39:38
The hurricane that struck Galveston texas in September 1900 caused 6,000 fatalities. Whereas the tri state tornado of March 1925 killed 695 in terms of fatalities caused by American windstorms hurricanes are worse.
They probably had no warnings at all back then a hundred and twenty two years ago, didnt know hardly anything till it was already happening.
The galvenston hurricane actually killed over 6,000 the death toll is set to between 8,000 and 15,000 bc so many people were washed out to sea

Very interesting and educational. The footage is amazing & creepy! Thanks for sharing!
I'd be more scared of a tornado. Since they are more frequent, are more powerful and can happen nearly anywhere. Hurricanes mostly effect only the coast and you have alot for warning for when they arrive BUT they are not a joke at all.
Missing the point of what I just said.
Well tornado alley is in Texas and I live in Texas and this is the state that has the 2nd most tornados

Been on mount Washington many times. Scary as hell on the road going up it
FYI:
There has NEVER - throughout ALL of history - been an "angry" sky.... just...."skies".
t4705mb6 I know what you mean, bur 'Angry' is possbly used as an ajective and not as a noun in that case. An ajective describes the noun. I can also tell you there is no such thing as a 'sky'. There is space , air space, clouds and birds in the wind riding the air. But no sky. There are heavens, stars, the moon and planets. So where is the sky if there was one? Where does it begin and end. They talk of blue sky, but the blue is solar light in space or outer space. The orange red sky is again solar light striking atmospheric particals such as cloud vapour. But ' Sky' is a general concept people generally understand as it is in general usage. So regardless of the fact it does not exist, thosands use it. We now have skybox, skynet, skyrocket, The East Sky, West Sky, Northern and Sourthern Sky, The Night Sky and I just downloaded SKYpe, for free calls through the sky. But try going out to see the night sky. You can see right through it. I saw Orion, the moon and further still. We even have sky news. So what is the sky? It is just a noun word often used to describe somewhere above and out side. Does the moon have a sky? If yes, is it the same sky as the earth sky, So a common shared sky. People use words. They use words to describe words. More words to describe what words are doing or what part they play in a string of words generally known as a sentence on earth. People, write articals, news papers, books and make documentaries, all using words. Some big words, some small words, some nice, cute or loving words. Some people use dark words or swear words to describe what they see. Some words express surprise and others contempt. "Angry" is I believe just being used as a decriptive word to describe the noun. It is being used to help the reader to better understand the content.
+Michael Greenwood
It's like calling criminals "evil" or "monsters".
I only expect about 5% of "civilized society" to understand what I'm saying because we're really (basically) still floundering in superstition - naive , gullible and BEGGING for psychopathic SICK flim-flam men to run the world.
WHY? Because people are very VERY *VERY* lazy and see it as ..."easier".
+t4705mb6 Yes, in some ways. Monsters are adjectives. Words use to decribe the actions or deeds of others as perceved by the view. Say a Mad Mafioso hitman ties a plastic bag over someones head to kill him befor he shoots. He may be described as a sick mad monstrous villan. Whilst a fellow mafioso may disagree saying he is a 'Good guy' or a Good Fellow'. The adjectives help us to understands a persons perception of an event. They are monsters as per the perceptions of the judges. To others they are all children of God. I prefer 'monster' as the adjective to descibe cold blooded murder of others in an horrific manner. So bits of Islam are evil in my opinion where as Islamists generally can not see that. But they accept happily that non believers are of Hell. Where as that is not how others see them selves. Adjectives, sometimes just words other times they are the words that get a person sentenced.

next you're going to tell us science has never been "naked"
Try to imagine the supersonic annihilation effects of the 1,200 mph winds of Neptune.
Wondering what the destructive effects and differences would be of relatively high speed winds upon a house thats nailed together, compared to a house thats screwed together, nails would eventually just slide out, but the definitely much stronger and tighter screws would have to be ripped and torn apart.
"Its not nice to fool mother nature"
Like seriously wow > 37:29
The nails don't just slide out. They are specially places so that they face the opposite direction of a tornado's force. You would need to snap not only hundreds of nails but a ton of very strong wood to tear off a wall. Screws wouldn't do much better.
