@thebroderickhoward I was about to comment a very similar thing, and then I realized you got to it with a whopping 320 likes 🤣🤣
A man in driving down a highway in Kansas was hit by a tornado. Even though he was wearing his seatbelt, the tornado sucked him up and out through the car's sunroof. He was relatively unharmed. The car was demolished but the bottles of booze in the trunk were still in one piece.
One of the individuals killed in the Joplin tornado was sucked through a sunroof. A family member in the car with them was not, and tried to keep a hold of their loved one, to no avail.💔
@agresticumbra will Norton his name was he just graduated HS and him and his dad were in his jeep and they were first victims. You remember when joplin blasted off from a tiny tornado to a wedge in seconds. Crazy part if you go on his youtube page like a yr earlier he was talking about a tornado dream and he basically described his soon be death. Pretty wild
@@patricklaurojr7427i've seen that, sometimes life is surreal.
@@agresticumbrareally cuz I'm like how do you get sucked out of a car by tornado that strong if the car is also being stuck around the tornado 🌪️ as well?
@@patricklaurojr7427 That’s so fucked
I believe that light that was going around that tornado was in all likelihood a diesel-powered work light from a construction site. Considering these are designed to put out light at 360 degrees I think it would make a lot more sense that you could see this from a long distance, for the time that we saw it. Rather than a car pointing at the camera the whole time while flying around the tornado.
This is my theory too, that it was a work light with its own onboard power of some sort that kept it lit up despite it flying through the air and it would also explain why nobody has identified what it was because it's probably not something you would notice in the debris, whereas a crumpled vehicle [if the headlight theory were true] would be quite noticeable. If it was somehow a car, hopefully nobody was inside.
I think that's a good theory. I wanted to point out that it was possible for a tornado to lift a vehicle. I do wonder a bit about how the light was constantly visible, there was flickering visible when the light is initially flung around the south side of the tornado, but not when it's at maximum height. I do know that max was shooting 1/30s 4k video and likely had 1/30s shutter speed, which would mean it was constantly open, which could have reduced any expected flicker from a lofted vehicle.
Was thinking it might have been some kind of battery powered emergency flood light. They are usually placed inside of industrial buildings for when the power goes out. There are also consumer grade versions but they are not as bright.
@@TheMrfoxguy not very likely.
@@highriskchris the thing i tought about is a Street Lantern and yea it sounds stupid bc if u pull it out of the Ground it should have no Electricty any more but the funny thing is that if the Right Wires Touch this things still can Light up Normally and are made to be seen even over Great Distances and that by Stroms and it would be Permanently Viewabel bc of the Shape of the Head then it would be side ways so in a Spin it would become 360° viewabel and goes out after the Bulb inside gets crushed.

The Jarrell tornado was something truly insane. Chris kind of glosses over just how bad the damage was - EVERYTHING and almost everyone was pulverized like a giant blender. Excellent video!
It was but I tend to find Andover more interesting and insane. It wasn't really, but the footage of it is so clear and good it shows you the real terror of these things.
The way you went from describing complete destruction to congratulating Chris is the closest youtube comments will ever get to jumpscares
@@Arceusmemesidk-zk7tm Maybe he wasn't referring to Chris's video, but his truly excellent snuff movie of Jarrell fatalities. "Nightmare In Double Creek". Either way the seeming lack of gravitas makes Omega appear weirdly completely void of empathy. Excellent video! Double wacky thumbs up!
Also possible that the guy's pulled an all nighter going down youtube rabbit holes and is brain frazzled and a bit disconnected...
@@Krondelo There's no "this footage is better than that footage". Both are incredible in their own way. Btw you don't specify which bit of Andover footage, so I'll imagine you meant the wonderful steady drone footage of the tornado as it traces a linear path of casually plucking rooftops from buildings and having a wonderful time in the middle of a huge messy debris field - tons of airborne litter - roof tiles, bricks and lengths of two by four spinning around in the air like dandelion seeds or weightless bits of paper. Fascinating getting to see so clearly some very interesting tornadic phenomena eg the occasional low pressure air bubble descending down the funnel making the tornado "spiral out" momentarily before gathering fresh new intensity.
On the other hand, the newborn Jarrell in it's baby drillbit form is some of the most awesome quality footage of a newly formed and developing tornado out there, along with the Dalton/Ashby newborn spinning wildly, ecstatically in a field of corn. The grown up monster, stationary, a smoking billowing raging vortex of hellish fury. Pure horror because you know that at that moment in the video where it's just squatting there, it's turning buildings, livestock and people into little splinters and mincemeat.
Both videos I find equally compelling. Tuscaloosa is also some epic scary cr*p.
Why were some of the Jarrell damage footage pixeled out?
If people don’t wanna get hit by a tornado, just put pound cakes all over your house 😂
Or put up a sign saying "Mobile Home Parks" with an arrow pointing away from your house.
No single man can pound cakes all the time necessary to protect your home from a tornado while a tornado is currently happening lol😅
its a glitch in the simulation
@@1ztype343 I'm not taking any chances, I've been in a few tornados -- I'll use 2 pound cakes!
@@jasonbarron6164 call your friends and start baking boy!!!
I've asked all of the tornado content creators I've followed to make a video of the strangest tornado damage and so far no one has, so thank you!! Great job!
I got one for you. In the 1932 F4 tornado that went through a Conasauga Tenn, a young boy was sucked up in the tornado. Don’t remember exactly where he was when this happened. He was carried to a nearby mountain and set down on top of it, unharmed. It took him awhile, a couple of days to walk out of the mountains. When he showed up people were astonished, thinking he had been killed. My grandmother and Grandpaw on my dads side told me about this. When I became an older teenager, I thought the story was bull crap. But when I mentioned this to my other grandmaw, who lived in the next county from Polk county( the county this happened in) she said it was true. It was in the newspapers at that time. I just think this is a neat story. And I’ll beat they isn’t anyone that’s had a better roller coaster ride than that boy!!!! God bless!!!!
@@janledford3010 that's amazing! Especially because that's not the first if it's kind I've heard. There's that story of the baby that had a similar thing happen in the 99 bridgecreek Moore tornado. she was ripped from her mother's arms and lifted in the air. they called her the mud baby because she was found face down on the ground, covered in mud, clothes ripped up, 100 feet away from their destroyed house. An officer actually found her and you can watch the video of him putting her on the hood of his cruiser to clean her off. Miraculously, outside of a few minor scrapes she was completely fine. I can't imagine what that officer was thinking when he first saw her laying there, probably thinking the worst. One of the many reasons tornados fascinate me.
I think StormsQ has
OK, let me get this straight. You’re saying instead of the bathroom or basement, I should lay on top of my kitchen island holding a Hostess Ho Ho when there’s a tornado knocking on my front door?! Got it 👍👍. 😁
Yes, exactly
@kcamera4975 maybe throw in a box of twinkies to be safe 😁
Make sure gluten-free as well. Don’t forget hat , most important part .
I think twinkies are a better deterrent only because the tornado would treat itself to the cream filled center. Yep sucking the cream out of the twinkies instead of you. 😋🌪
If I were you I'd stock up on pecan sandies and shortbread cookies 💀
Me and tornado have something in common.We can't stand to see cake go to waste.
Wym?
@@user-yn1ks5wv3dYou ever see a cake and not want a piece? I doubt it
If there is a tornado warning remember to always go to an interior room, basement, or cake
I’m sorry but 1:23 got me for a few minutes. “CORN HALE”😂
I came to the comments specifically for this. 😂l
I had to pause the video ☠️
Wow, that explanation of the card and the fork really sent chills down my spine. Imagine getting HIT by one of these! It goes to show you that even the smallest bits of debris can be deadly.
In the May 13, 1980 Kalamazoo tornado there was a neighborhood on the west side of town that was struck by the tornado. The houses on the south side of the residential street were destroyed but the garbage cans that had been set out on the north side of the street were untouched. Everyone marveled at that. Now I understand why.
Yeah, it's terrifying to think about. It's exactly why debris is the number one reason for deaths and serious injury in tornados.
Individual hay stalks pierced oak trees up to two inches when a tornado hit grandparents farm. I was 13 and never forgot that anything can be debris in Hugh enough winds 😢
Doubling velocity increases kinetic energy by a factor of four.......what makes it weirder, the items aren't destroyed in the process unlike many fast traveling projectiles. How does a record not shatter or the fork not get bent around the object?
@@deathbloom27- Yeah it is scary to think about. I remember this guy from my job was part of a recovery team after a tornado hit somewhere badly. They found a woman partially naked with her guts hanging out her abdomen.
@empyrean196 damn dude. I'm not into that gore or death stuff but would be interesting to read about or listen to a video without images of strange tornado injuries/deaths
Dude this has got to be one of the best tornado vids I’ve ever seen.
So much put into it.
Keep going man.
I've honestly never seen such a good analysis of what actually happens from the perspective of in the home.
I’m from Wynne, Arkansas. We were hit by an EF3 tornado on March 31st, 2023. It pulled 3/4 of the turf from our football field and pieces of it were found in Dyersburg, TN. Over two hours away.
That's crazy. How did you find that out?
@@deathbloom27 we were contacted by people there. They found pieces with our emblem on them
@@jacobhess2866 that's so cool. I hope people got pictures! That's definitely a story to pass down.
Bro I was in the 2019 Sunday October 20th tornado EF3 and I could feel myself being pulled (very very very little) and it was under a mile away (or it’s just me)
I was affected by the Dayton Memorial Day 2019 Tornado (more specifically the EF3 that dropped after it recycled,) and although most of my outdoor furniture was thrown across the neighborhood, a glass table on my porch had the pane of glass slide out of the table and thrown across my yard while not having a single crack. I still use that table today with tons of scratches in the frame to remind me of that night. Tornadoes are just something else man...
The curtains at Smithville have been done at least once before, believe it or not. In one of my old Tri-State Tornado books a survivor at...I think it was Princeton, Indiana where this happened. The survivor reported the roof coming up, the curtains flying into the gap, and the roof coming down again, right where it had been. Pretty freaky!
3-D modelling of streamlines around a cake was not the content I expected, but was definitely the content I needed.
ooh, i'm early! tornadoes could be gluten free, or maybe are too scared of cakes. no one will know 🤷♀

im putting a cake in a tornados path
I never thought I'd enjoy a physics lesson on pound cakes in tornados but here we are
Note to self, if you're about to get hit by a tornado and are lucky enough to be on the north side, simply become cake
or or become a wind mill
The two that come to mind instantly
The Cactus 117 oil rig and the 2011 El Reno/Piedmont tornado, anything that can roll equipment that big and heavy....
Oh and the top of the water tower in Smithville, MS taking a direct hit from a tornado propelled SUV, carrying on standing. It might have been an EF5, but the water tower was not having any of it that day
That oil rig blew my mind. I didn't even know about that until Carly's video, and when she said like 300,000 pounds or something like that I had to go back and make sure I heard that correctly.
I think it was the same one that also cracked the dome home as well and hat is just as mind blowing damage wise. 300,000 pounds and a tornado rolled it. Not just once, but the Cactus rig was rolled at least twice.
Just doing some quick and dirty math in my head and I'm all ....that's a lot of force with that tornado. Then again, I went back and checked, 2011 Super outbreak is a magnet for weird damage. I found reports of undamaged pairs of jeans from the Wrangler factory being discovered. My question is did anyone take and wear them, I wonder or were they turned in and documented properly, and what happened to them aftewards, were they put on sale or...?
Now I want to know. Also the pound cake, I'm pretty sure Mom said no cake till after dinner, the tornado was just following the instructions
the piedmont also nearly ripped the saferoom up that was at the cactus 117 rig site. i believe snapping one of the metal cables holding it down and denting it badly.
Guys, here is The Savior

I served a Church in Southeastern Indiana that got hit by one of the tornadoes in the 1974 Superoutbreak. The Church building was taken down to it's foundation... Pieces of the Church's member registry were returned from Dayton, Ohio more than 40 miles away...
8:00 So if I wanna survive a tornado, I just sit on a counter?
That Greensburg graphic in the beginning with the tornado circle going over the town and the map changing under it was so cool. Really helps visualize how massive and destructive that twister was
Omg Chris this was so good. Keep combining that engineering skill with tornados, please. This movement of wind, and high pressure/low pressure segment was fascinating. I’ve lived around tornados my whole life and was always told they were too hard to study. It’s exciting finding folk like you that proves that wrong 😊❤
My two mentors in the science of tornadoes:
Reed Timmer (some of the best and most intense close quarters footage plus true "inside the tornado" intercepts in his armoured vehicle).
Skip Talbot: awesome educational videos. The guy blesses us with his immense knowledge.
6:25 this same thing happened during the 2015 Xanxerê Santa Catarina, Brazil tornado, it shifted the house to the other side of the street
question is do they rebuild the house where it is or where it was?
@@illogical_sc where it was, they demolished the house after the tornado
that’s a lotta damage!
"Don't worry; we can repair all of it, with #FlexTape!" 🤣
I live in east Kentucky, in the immediate area where the 2012 West Liberty tornado hit. In an adjacent county, someone had a garage/workshop type building right off the side of the road that became locally famous after the tornado, because the cinderblock building was completely flattened. Yet, the dude had a standing tool shelf that stood completely undisturbed, tools still on it, amidst the massive pile rubble of the building that had fallen around it. Extremely bizarre how stuff like that happens.
6:55 tornado doesnt want to eat a cake right now
Strangest tornado damage I came across was an Illinois tornado that hit this house where the winds opened up all the doors in the house impaled things and than closed all the doors like nothing happened. Very spooky! The winds even opened the refrigerator door and the inside meat drawer impaled a bunch of hotdogs with little sticks than closed everything up again. Very crazy! Ill never forget it..
4:01 As the roof starts to lift of the wall, the curtain get sucked/blown thru the roof / wall seperation...
That map footage at 0:05 is amazing! What a great way to visualize tornado damage! Subscribed.
I was in Nashville for the march 2020 tornado. I had never experienced a tornado before. The Damage downtown was terrible, but it grew to a big EF-4 outside of the city. West of Nashville is a town called Mt. Juliet that has some factories and car lots along the Highway. The Tornado crossed the highway a few times and the damage was completely absurd. It looked like a quart mile wide lawn mower came through and removed trees and powerlines, collapsing a factory and throwing cars across the highway. Totally nuts. If you drive by cookville TN you can still see it's path and some damage.
the greatest ending line to a tornado video yet hahaha
"tornadoes are gluten free" ain't no way bro just said that💀💀
Man your channel and edits are so good, glad I subbed early and get to watch it keep growing
Tornadoes do not like cakes fr
Or mobile homes. They become very.....mobile.
out of all of them, the curtains sucked out through a rack in the ceilijng freaks me out the most
2:20 THAT IS A FLIPPING RUNNING CAR (with headlights)
So whatchur sayin is, climb on top of my kitchen counter XD
If you want to survive a tornado just stand on your kitchen island 😂😂
This is a brilliant document. Yes, winds are blowing answers about freaky stuff.
Tornado blowing windmill=unlimited energy. Checkmate, big oil.
My dad grew up near the town Tyro Kansas that was hit by an F3 in 1982. He went to see the damage and saw a hot dog perfectly sitting on a plate, it had mustard too
not a windmill, its a wind turbine.
Windmills are for using wind to power a mill, like for grinding flour
A wind turbine, which is actually in the video, is for generating electricity
Yes, my mistake
Who knew. From now on, I shall maintain a poundcake on the kitchen counter as a tornado shelter, since i live in an apartment and dont have a shelter…
He spent way too long thinking about that pound cake lmao
7:55 : Brilliant illustration of how tornado winds blow up. That's why it's better to be sheltering on the top side of underpasses rather than the bottom side under the bridge.
5:09 that tornado want more beef with that wind wheel
The investigation into the pound cake wiped me out! 😭😂
The windmill bit was absolutely hilarious
The ending too 😂😂😂
This was an excellent presentation of tornado behavior and how certain things like that cake was left untouched those plates and everything remained safe and untouched never knew they used math behind objects that get hurled through tree stumps and houses that part i always find fascinating just shows the raw power of a tornado and it's winds
Everyone point and laugh at this tornado 5:23
8:19 tornadoes either are allergic to cake or doesn't want to ruin a beautiful cake
Growing up in the shadow of the Xenia tornado, I've heard damage stories that should only exist as fairy-tales. Unbelievable displays of nature is an understatement!
BAE WAKE UP, ANOTHER HIGH RISK CHRIS VIDEO 🗣🗣🗣🗣
I have heard stories of a gallon size glass pickle jar being carried for several miles before being set down on hard pavement without breaking.
The Jarrell and Smithville / Philadelphia tornados are imo the scariest tornados ever. The damage and stories I’ve heard are unbelievable
Talked to several people in the mayfield tornado and the weird damage they saw. One lady told me her curtains were sucked in between the wall and the roof and was sticking outside. Another said the whole house disentegrated around them and they was in a closet and her husband was shielding him and he was flying and she was holding on to him. Another said they was in there closet and after tornado passed nothing was there except the closet they was in. My grandads service station that was in cayce ky the first town hit in Kentucky you couldnt tell there was a block building there. Was nothing left of it....nothing. same for the one across the road it was also a concrete building and it disappeared too.
When I was a kid, there was a piece of straw embedded in a tree trunk in an Illinois state museum in Springfield. That was pretty impressive.
The light at the beginning you talked about is ball lightning.. I have the same thing in some of my Storm videos and I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Tornadoes do not often suck up vehicles .. at most they move them or more likely just dent up and blow out the windows.. your theory about the cake and the velocity is on point though. The eye (center) of a the tornado is almost completely windless..getting hit by the wall is the most dangerous to get hit by .tornadoes also are rotating at various speeds within the cyclone.. the fastest and hardest part to measure is closest to the eye. It's hard to get a pod deployed into the eye because it usually gets swept up by the outer walls. So the speeds reported aren't always a good representation as to how powerful the tornado is.
I was in Smithville a day after the tornado hit and saw the red truck that was completely destroyed, talk about shocking beyond belief to actually see something like that happen
It also blasted the Piggly Wiggly from the front to the back I’ll never forget that
I have a picture (somewhere on a thumb drive) of a 2 x 4 sticking out of a concrete curb. The curb has no cracks in it at all. It looks like the board was stuck in the concrete when it was poured. So strange. It just blows my mind how these objects survive when impacting a hard surface. This was the 2013 Moore tornado.
that "cOrN hAil" caught me a little off guard 💀
I would think a vinyl record, moving at hundreds of miles per hour, would shatter into a thousand pieces upon contact wooden telephone pole. And the piece of straw stuck in a tree? The physics of tornado debris is just bizarre.
Well done with all your vids Chris. Your insights and narration are tops!
i remember the western kentucky ef4 so vividly. when it first hit mayfield, our news station in owensboro showed us the damage. mayfield is 2 hours away, of course we weren’t scared. i was upstairs playing xbox when our power went out and my ears popped. cue my mom yelling at me to come downstairs because her ears also popped. our power came back on and we still didn’t have any tornado warnings. we were watching the tornado on the radar the whole time and as soon as it hit madisonville my mom told me to put my shoes on. that was the first time i ever felt true fear during a storm. my brother was in bremen when it hit so we called him but there was so much interference. we lost contact and assumed the worst but he was fine.
There was a tornado that hit my town back in 2017 right before my 13th birthday. I don't remember the category, but I do remember the tornado was what people in town called a "jumper", where it kept jumping off and on the ground while on its destruction path. Luckily, nobody was killed despite many homes being damaged and destroyed, but it was a very stressful thing to go through. I remember driving around some of the damaged areas with my mom the next day to check in on my friend, whose house had been destroyed, and in one of the trees there was a road sign. It was awesome in the awe-inducing, horrifying way.
I am oddly proud of how unique the damage reports from my home state are in this video funnily enough. The one with the dishes and cake intact was especially interesting.
When say a tornado is "jumping" it's actually just the condensation funnel going into and out of visibility, tornadoes can be erratic but they do not jump
So, if you dont have propper shelter in case of a tornado just lay on top of the kitchen counter.
The courtains are sick 😲
6:15 the ef5 just north of hattisburg destroyed my childhood home. This was the 3rd widest and strongest tornado on record. Soso/Collins tornado on easter sunday 2020
I didnt know windmill blades could bend like that, but it makes sense that they could.
Need to go digging but the BBC did an article on this very thing, about how the turbines are designed and rated. It's amazing engineering. The one that blew my mind was that the blades in one of the turbines aren't solid, they can actually move instead of bending, and have slits in them. Which is absolutely amazing
I was there for the Night of the Twisters (Grand Island, NE June 3rd, 1980- Chris’s “strangest tornado path,” by the way) and heard many weird and crazy stories. The only one I can remember right now, though, is the one where the family’s house was demolished and nothing but the kitchen and refrigerator were left of the main floor. When someone opened the fridge, everything was gone but a small, glass vase with a rose in it. (I can’t remember if the water was still in the vase, though.)
And I remember seeing the “Dead Man Walking” documentary about the Jarrel tornado and Debby LaFrance, one of the few survivors near the Double Creek subdivision (her husband Billy died sheltering her and her daughter in the bath tub), said when they were going through what little was left in their yard after that horrific event, she found a glass cake or pie dish that didn’t even have a scratch on it.
Also, the story about the SUV being hurtled a 1/2 mile into Smithville, Mississippi’s water tower is impressive as well. It’s amazing of what Mother Nature is capable!
Glad you enjoyed it! Tornadoes seem to have a sense of humor
Jarrell was moving so slow it acted like a sand blaster chewing everything up.
the windmill part made me laugh it really did look personal to the tornado
A family I met in Parkerseburg lost the roof/top of their home in 2008 EF5... however the wedding invitations theyd been working on at the dining room table remained undisturbed and were salvaged. Tornados are weird!
Back in 2011, after the Super Outbreak, I was on my way to a friend's who lived just outside the damage path of one of the tornados. I remember passing a house that had been damaged. The entire southern outer wall and roof had been ripped off, revealing the interior of the house. On the second floor of the house, you could see the master bedroom. I saw that the bed was made, with all the bedsheets, comforter and pillows still on the bed, as well as folded laundry sitting on the dresser. It's amazing how seemingly random the damage can be, or sometimes lack of damage.
The light rotating around the tornado was likely not actually a vehicle. Headlights are mono direction and can only be viewed from 1 angle of the vehicle. It's highly improbable that a automobile aloft in the air would be static with the headlights pointed perfectly at the camera the entire time. One of the better suggestions I've heard is a battery powered flood light off of a utility truck or from a construction site
I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention the other EF4 from the Easter outbreak.
Today I've learned that Tornadoes don't particularly like gluten, but they will demolish some corn!
After the 3 April, 1974 super-outbreak the physics class from my high school took a field trip to a TVA nuclear plant in northern Alabama. My most vivid memory of the storm damage was a pink '59 Deuce-and-a Quarter Buick deposited in the upper reaches of a wrecked high-tension transmission tower.
I never knew that using computer simulations would be needed to protect a cake. I am now enlightened and plan to spread this information to everybody I know.
Tornado: "I fear no man. But diabetes? That scares the hell out of me!"
That tornado hates that pound cake
Imagine waking up to see your house demolished and all of the other ones still.
There are stories out of Jarrell of some of the victims who literally had the skin pulled from their flesh. Thats gnarly.
Bro this is a gem. Well done! Lol Look forward to the next one
I want to know who built that house in Georgia and have them come build one for me. Also that pound cake analysis was *amazing*
Are we certain the Rolling Fork light was a passenger car? Seems to be bright white and a single light, which could be possible on a newer car using LED headlights with one out or a motorcycle. It could also be something like a battery powered artificial light however.
There's no way you'd see a small light from that distance.
From footage that I saw, and it might have been from a different part of the tornado’s lifecycle, as well as different object, but the resolution allowed me to see what appeared to be headlights, and taillights. Believe I saw the footage over on twitter.
i think part of the reason objects get stuck in things like trees is because it seems like all objects that do that have sharp edges witch make it easier to pierce objects
and all the branches that don’t snap off act like a spider web
3:00 could this be on of those ball lightnings?
that's what i thought too
@@Sylikx right, ..i'll try to check the original footage again to dig a bit more, i think a lightning should be seen moments before the appearance of that ball of light
@@rodrigosebastianperich4023Ball lightning is extremely rare and debatable as to whether it is actually real because there hasn't been any sufficient video evidence showing it. I can't imagine a ball of lightning casually floating around a violent tornado like that either...I'd imagine it would be a lot brighter as well
If we're going to bring up strange tornado damage, we should talk about Guin, Alabama. That tornado swept away concrete foundations
Some evidence shows from the KY Mayfield Tornado said that there was winds rated to be at EF5 level but due to a lack of extensive damage they rated it as an EF4 which is stupid
This is great info Chris, thank you! Do you know what is being pixellated at the 4:24 mark from the Jarrell tornado? Is it cattle or something?
It’s a cow with intestines out of it stomach and skinned
My Father was born in North Carolina in 1906 and moved to Shawnee, Oklahoma in 1907, so he grew up in tornado alley. He described the spoon and straw incidents as not unusual because they are not driven into trees and power poles, they are caught by the grain of the pole or tree when the winds are twisting it enough to open them up. He used to laugh at that wives tale because he had watched it happen.
He used to climb up on the shop he worked in to watch tornadoes pass by in Shawnee. He said daytime tornadoes should not kill many people because you can usually get out of the way, but night time tornadoes were his worst nightmare!
I don't care how much trouble I would get into, if I see a house on the road...
I'm driving through it and scream "I THINK WE'RE GOING IN!!!!"
gluten free tornadoes got me so hard laughin so hard XD
The trick of surviving a tornado is leaving a pound cake on the table 😂
In all seriousness though as a meteorology major with an engineering background, I always appreciate the science and physics side of analyzing tornado damsge
If you sat on the counter holding the pound cake would you be safe?😅
Just have to add some more from personal experience - or at least second hand:-) During the Palm Sunday outbreak in '65 the EF4(?) that skirted Grand Rapids, MI went north of town into a relatively rural area(since built up). There was a man who was out of town during the storm and came home expecting his house to be destroyed. Instead it was standing there, apparently untouched. But when he approached he noticed the house was off the foundations by an inch or so. Rather than go in he called his insurance agent. The agent came out, looked the property over, and came back to the guy, who asked how it looked. "Well," the agent said "the house itself looks fine but I don't know how we'll get the corn harvester out of your basement."
Later in '67 we had another that touched down on our street. Very little damage(although it later destroyed our school) but across the street were two garages side-by-side. By close I mean at twelve years old I had to turn sideways to slide between them. One of the garages was stripped down to its slab, the other was untouched, and a window in it facing its destroyed neighbor was unbroken.
That same tornado wrecked my cousin's wood-frame home. It was still standing and when they came up from the basement and opened the refrigerator it was filled with chunks of brick. Nothing brick in the neighborhood, and no brick pieces were anywhere on the floor.
Have lots more but this is long enough. Tornadoes definitely do strange things!!!
"Tornadoes are gluten-free." Lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
