      @@supertornadogun1690 I agree that this was more of an intense storm visually but in my opinion that's because of the location. More debris. If the El Reno storm would have hit a more densely populated area I cant imagine what it would have looked like with that amount of debris swirling around it. The multi vortex structure was way more intense with it. My opinion though. I hope and pray that an equivalent storm never hits a more populated area.

      That's EXACTLY what this monster was. Literally if you weren't in a underground shelter or a structure designed to handle 300+ mph winds, you basically signed your death warrent if you were in the path of this thing. My house was destroyed by this tornado, and the only thing that saved my family was a underground bunker my dad and I built specifically with something like this in mind. The house, our possessions, everything gone and our house was nothing but a foundation

It's impossible to explain the fear. I was also in Houston during Hurricane Harvey and to be honest, I was scared of what Harvey was capable of, but not near as scared as I was during these times. I don't know if I just have a bad habit of living in tornado stricken areas(Moore & El Reno, Oklahoma as well as Canton and Dekalb, Texas) or what, but there's honestly no words to correctly describe the raw fear and emotion something like this envokes.

Fond du Lac (where i live) got hit twice at once last year. i lost a friend and his family.

We stopped at the elementary school that was hit and paid our respects to all of the lives forever changed. Even though this happened years ago, that's something that you never get over. Listening to Jim Cantore at the end got tears in my eyes as a new-ish father myself. My heart goes out to all the victims.

That sound the tornado made as it came close will forever be impeded in my head. But it just drove the curiosity of weather further into me trying to watch it and understand it.
