  • During this video, I believe the tornado started out about 3 miles away and by the end had gotten as close as 1.5 miles.

    "At least it's not rain-wrapped" is the only positive thing I've ever heard someone say about this tornado... and I agree.
    I sincerely hope the survivors that have had to move on with their lives have found peace. Especially those that lost loved ones. 🧡

      Thank you for your kind words. You probably haven't seen it cause I'm just another okie with a camera on his front porch. While I've been chasing several times, been closer to one much smaller, nearly blown off the road by RFDs. But nothing has been as memorizing as this one. Probably because we knew it was going through such a populated area.
      BTW, I believe I've watched every episode of storm chasers myself. Stay safe out there!

Most chasers watch the storms and call the beginning of a tornado the "birth" of the tornado I'm wondering if they use the term the"death" of the tornado when it ropes out?

      They all do, but there is no doubt that when a violent tornado travels through residential neighbourhoods, the sound is even more obvious and unforgetable. FWIW, I know an extremely experienced storm chaser & highly educated severe weather researcher who has witnessed many F-4/F-5/EF-4/EF-5 tornadoes. He told me that this tornado was the ugliest-sounding tornado he had ever heard. He found both the view of the tornado obliterating parts of Moore & its sound to be very disturbing, rather than awe-inspiring.

In reality, Oklahoma just takes better care of their state and appearance. Missouri has tornadoes as well, but the State isn't anywhere as nice and kept up like I saw in Oklahoma.

It has to do with the last two or three years being La Nina years, in El Nino years, which occur much more frequently than La Nina, tornado alley is usually right where it has always been throughout history. This is only the third time in recorded history that La Nina has lasted for three years. El Nino is predicted to come back around later in 2023.
