If I'm not mistaken, around 7:00, when Mike begins to talk to someone in background, I think it's when Reed Timmer arrived and went to check on the crew (Tornado Chasers, s2, "Nemesis")
I feel so bad for mike.. First its Tuscaloosa, Then he HAS to witness Joplin, then he gets thrown by a tornado itself.. Just retire Mike, enough is enough
He now works in the studio. Bless him and thankfully they were being watched over that day. Sadly, 3 other well known chasers, and possibly another, were killed in the same event.
That El Reno was an anomaly with it's path.. Out of respect, I wish the NWS would've kept it's original EF-5 rating (I know why it was changed) but it still was confirmed having winds of 295mph (second only to May 3 1999)
@@Gildhattie DOW (Doppler on Wheels) wind estimates at the ground we’re in excess of 300mph actually. This tornado was the most powerful in recorded history.
@@ljacks0264 but not officially, because the NWS will officially only go by damage, that's why it was officially an ef-3... Which doesn't make sense to me
I remember watching this live. I was glued to the TV waiting to hear from Mike. So thankful he was ok & I'm glad to see him settle down with his Weather Channel show Weather underground.
3:47 I remember watching this the day it happened. When Mike said his crew was hit by the tornado, my stomach dropped to the floor in horror. He was lucky to survive. This was the same tornado that killed Tim Samaras.
While Mike Bettes is on the phone Tim Samaras Paul Samaras and Carl Young were killed by this monster tornado. Also another chaser Richard Henderson was also killed.
This was the scariest day in my life. And I've been through one too many tornadoes. We had a supposed hour warning before this hit the metro, and suddenly 15 minutes later everything was dark.
Well thousands of people were very lucky cause that beast stayed in open land. If that tornado hit a populated area a lot more than 8 people would've died.
We did have an hour. The local media, all channels, were carrying this live before the tornado touched down. We had been in a PDS (particularly dangerous situation) tornado watch before the clouds ever broke through the cap. Just over a week earlier two elementary schools were destroyed in the Moore tornado so the coverage for this was there, it may not have been seen but it was there.
In all honesty; the May 31st, 2013 tornado that hit El Reno, Oklahoma is at "Shit your pants" levels of terror. Like the April 4th, 1974 tornado that hit Xenia, Ohio, the Tri-state tornado on March 18th, 1925, both of the tornadoes that struck Moore, Oklahoma in 1999 and 2013, the May 22nd 2011 tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri, Jarrell, Texas on May 27th, 1997, and Hattiesburg, Mississippi on February 10th, 2013. What is particularly unsettling about the 2013 tornado that hit El Reno is that two years earlier El Reno was hit by a tornado on May 24th, 2011; just two days after the tornado in Joplin, Missouri. Not many people outside of Oklahoma know about the May 24th tornado because as I said, this tornado occurred just two days after Joplin, Missouri and so the eyes of the world focused on Joplin. It is extremely heartbreaking to see that St. John's Medical Center was practically decimated by the tornado because it looked like a bomb exploded on all nine floors of the building. I have seen footage of the tornadoes in Joplin and Moore that was shot by the Basehunters Storm Chasers team. This team is composed of four young men by the names of Scott Peake, Colt Forney, Isaac Pato, and Kevin Rolfs. Also a member of the team is Kevin's father Harland Rolfs. After the Joplin tornado had dissipated; Scott, Colt, and Isaac began search and rescue efforts and rescued a woman trapped under the rubble of her house using a door as a stretcher to load her into the back of a pick-up truck and get her to a hospital. Soon after; Kevin and Harland met up with Scott, Colt, and Isaac- whom Harland calls his boys- and took a man who was holding his infant son who had a bad cut on his head to St. John's Medical Center. When they crested the hill; they saw that St. John's looked like someone had taken nine bombs, planted one bomb on each floor of the building and detonated them. Kevin described having a feeling of utter helplessness seeing St. John's in its ruined state.

I will not urge you to retire. My sister got bucked off horses when she was 8 years old, but always got back on. Keep up the good work brother.
It bugs me that we judge tornado severity on damage only now. This is officially an EF3 but should be an F5. I understand using damage to gauge the power of a tornado if you don't have wind measurements but if you do, the wind measurements should be used (in my non-professional opinion). 🌪️
I actually just watched an old ABC report about this, and it was apparently reclassified as an EF-5. I agree with you, though. I think measuring via damage/debris really downplays the severity of a tornado. We don't categorize hurricanes like that....

It's not a sure thing that the tornado would have been an EF5 if it had hit more stuff. The EF scale wind speeds are based on a 3-second average gust; the extreme winds in the El Reno tornado were confined to small, fast-moving subvortices that only impacted a given spot for a fraction of a second. Also, the places where those winds occurred didn't show rural-area damage typically seen in EF5 tornadoes (extensive ground scouring, complete removal of vegetation and crops from fields, trees completely debarked/reduced to nubs, etc.).

Yeah, but Mike was sideswept by it, while Tim practically got caught in middle - there are videos where you can see the chasers gps dots around the path of this tornado, and you can see where each of them were.
I'm still astounded as to why and how, Bettes thought trying to out run this tornado to the south was a wise idea. Especially considering there was a relatively clear route back to the north away from it and how unpredictable the track was to begin with....wow!
It only caused EF3 level damage because it mainly tracked through a rural area. The winds were easily EF5 speeds but it thankfully didn’t go into any densely populated urban areas so it caused far less damage than it could have.
I remember this.I was pretty young I think, and I just freaked the fuck out. My house was destroyed, luckily the storm shelter was fine and kept us safe
"You've got to get underground or away from it!" My goodness, how incredibly dangerous that second recommendation was, that alone could have killed so many people had people acted on it
The governor of Oklahoma called a meeting with the Oklahoma City stations and had a come to Jesus talk with them. They’ve calmed down some.

@@ILoveOldTWC the Mayfield tornado, albeit smaller, had some of the same characteristics. It was going 55 most of the time but at times it hit 60 at peak strength. That’s probably one of the fastest violent tornadoes ever.
@@nolancain8792 One particular story from the Quad State Tornado that just pisses me off is that the managers of the Mayfield Candle Factory in Mayfield, Kentucky ordered the workers at the factory to stay or be fired. Factories and industrial buildings are the worst type of building to take shelter from a tornado. It seems to me that the managers of the factory were more preoccupied with filling back orders to meet their Christmas quota instead of being concerned about the safety and lives of their employees. I just hope that the owners and managers of the factory are left bankrupt by the many lawsuits that will no doubt be filed against them by the families of the deceased as well as the survivors in order to cover their funeral expenses and medical bills, respectively.
Yeah, well don't drive in front of tornadoes. I don't care if it gives you the best contrast for a photo op. Bettes is NOT an experienced storm chaser. See my avatar? That's a vidcap from my video of the Grand Island tornado of 17 June 2009. I FOLLOWED the tornado from about a half mile back. I FOLLOWED it down US34 and watched it hit the Iam's pet food plant. Was it the best contrast? Nope. But, I was able to watch it curve right and then left without danger. Stay home with your new wife, Mike.
@@Raya-ir4tm Funny thing about IQ: it changes very little - if at all - during the course of a human's lifetime. So, odds are, I'm smarter today than you'll be for the rest of your mundane lifetime. This tornado did not make a sudden turn. It traveled along a huge sweeping arc. There were multiple chasers to the east of the tornado. For no good reason. Bettes was east of the tornado and guided his crew to the south and directly into the path of an approaching tornado. His best escape route was to the north into the rain and hail core of the storm. They would have probably sustained broken windows, but, otherwise would have been relatively safe from the oncoming tornado. And, I said nothing disparaging about his wife. I told him to stay home with his wife. Reread my post. I've been chasing for 17 years. The best action during storm chasing is to FOLLOW a tornado; not drive in front of it and hope for the best. I find your lack of comprehension skills alarming.
Mike Bettes has been through it all. I’ve grown up watching him every morning and chasing storms like this. He is a very lucky man to be alive.

وهذا ما سيحدث لامريكا كثيرا وستدفع الثمن باهضا
امريكا انتهت وكل شئ انتهى ولا يستطيعون فعل اي شئ الا الصراخ منادين يامغيثنا
اللهم عليك بهم فانهم لا يعجزونك
Well....to quote the late great Colonel Sanders, who said "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken".
That's was scared.
Actually, it ended up being rated an EF3, not an EF4. Mike Morgan said, "I hope there are no cars..." Then STOP telling people to get in them and leave. This one PROVES tornadoes can change direction unpredictably! And it was moving fast!
It practically broke every “rule” a tornado had.
@@nolancain8792 It did! It rapidly intensified and picked up forward speed at the same time. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that what happened to the chasers was an inevitability. Sooner or later chasers would end up being casualties.
@@ILoveOldTWC the Mayfield tornado, albeit smaller, had some of the same characteristics. It was going 55 most of the time but at times it hit 60 at peak strength. That’s probably one of the fastest violent tornadoes ever.
@@nolancain8792 One particular story from the Quad State Tornado that just pisses me off is that the managers of the Mayfield Candle Factory in Mayfield, Kentucky ordered the workers at the factory to stay or be fired. Factories and industrial buildings are the worst type of building to take shelter from a tornado. It seems to me that the managers of the factory were more preoccupied with filling back orders to meet their Christmas quota instead of being concerned about the safety and lives of their employees. I just hope that the owners and managers of the factory are left bankrupt by the many lawsuits that will no doubt be filed against them by the families of the deceased as well as the survivors in order to cover their funeral expenses and medical bills, respectively.

no there not called tornado in australia there called cyclones
Noogus Boogus: Isn't that another term for "hurricane"?
Noogus Boogus what? You are Stupid. First use proper grammar, second a cyclone is an ocean storm. Not a tornado.
And yet your watching videos on “UA-cam” American btw.
Cyclones are completely different to tornadoes.
Yeah, well don't drive in front of tornadoes. I don't care if it gives you the best contrast for a photo op. Bettes is NOT an experienced storm chaser. See my avatar? That's a vidcap from my video of the Grand Island tornado of 17 June 2009. I FOLLOWED the tornado from about a half mile back. I FOLLOWED it down US34 and watched it hit the Iam's pet food plant. Was it the best contrast? Nope. But, I was able to watch it curve right and then left without danger. Stay home with your new wife, Mike.
2200Z it turned... no one expected it
It turned NE. Nobody could have predicted it.
It turned NE... As most strong storms do.
@@tayloryetto That's why you follow them and don't drive in front of them like Bettes and Samaras did.
@@Raya-ir4tm Funny thing about IQ: it changes very little - if at all - during the course of a human's lifetime. So, odds are, I'm smarter today than you'll be for the rest of your mundane lifetime.
This tornado did not make a sudden turn. It traveled along a huge sweeping arc. There were multiple chasers to the east of the tornado. For no good reason. Bettes was east of the tornado and guided his crew to the south and directly into the path of an approaching tornado. His best escape route was to the north into the rain and hail core of the storm. They would have probably sustained broken windows, but, otherwise would have been relatively safe from the oncoming tornado.
And, I said nothing disparaging about his wife. I told him to stay home with his wife.
Reread my post. I've been chasing for 17 years. The best action during storm chasing is to FOLLOW a tornado; not drive in front of it and hope for the best.
I find your lack of comprehension skills alarming.
