  • I probably have overreacted the most on this video than out of any of my videos. On Friday, March 31st, a rare “HIGH” risk of severe weather was issued across southeast Iowa as well as far northeast Missouri and western Illinois. A supercell produced an large wedge EF4 tornado near the town of Ottumwa and tracked northeast close to my town. As the storm got closer, sirens had been sounded. They sounded numerous times, likely because of the large tornado getting closer and closer to my area. Thankfully it missed us and our house, but however some structures in my county were damaged from the storm. Some of the debris from the tornado was thrown all the way to my house and scattered debris over the ground. Somehow I didn’t lose any power, but most of my town had lost power after the storm. Temperatures also rapidly dropped after the storm. Temps were in about the high 60s during the day and by midnight it was in the mid to high 30s. Anyways thanks for watching! Recorded March 31, 2023.

    Just want to let it be known that I’m just an autistic kid with ADHD and I at times have a hard time controlling my emotions at times. I’m sorry about the heavy breathing in this video but please know that I am just a kid and it is hard for me to control my emotions at times. Please don’t leave any mean or annoying comments about my heavy breathing. Any mean or annoying comments will be removed. If you don’t like the video then please just simply leave it. Thanks for watching!

    i have autism, too, and one of my main special interests has been tornadic storms, ever since i was six - while i find them fascinating from a distance, if i have to encounter them in person, i suffer anxiety attacks. it's a very natural response to fear, and your response was perfectly reasonable, as this was a very frightening situation. this was a great video, and you did very well; i love home videos, like this. also, i have that exact cave spider plush!

    I live in Alabama and we get our fair share of tornadoes. I'm also a trained storm spotter. I find that the more you understand the beast, the less anxiety. I see you looking at radar, understanding the dynamics of tornadoes (seeing a wall cloud and even understanding what that is) and I'd say you're doing a fantastic job! 😊

We don't have severe weather that much here in Finland at least it is very rare and we call them Trombi's and mostly F1 or F2 thou there has been few F4 too but it is extremely rare .I am so glad you are ok. Stay safe❤

    Its definitely intense when a really bad storm comes! I went through a really bad storm on May 25th 2011 and one of the big trees right across the street from my house slammed to the ground and I sprinted downstairs after that! Could hear a lot of commotion outside while hiding under the stairs! The sky was green before the storm hit and I was running back to my house from a friends house before things got crazy! It was an interesting night for sure! There was an 8 out of 10 chance for a tornado in my area that night!

    Appreciate your video. You don’t have to have ADHD to have this reaction. I’ve been there! In 2016 my home was hit by a strong EF3, 162 winds, damaged it bad, been without my beautiful home since. Neighbors not on this earth anymore. My breathe was somewhat like yours, as a lot of peoples has been and will be faced with this terror. Katherine gave great advice. Learn all you can about the weather, that’s what I did. One will not sneak up on me again!!! Hopefully anyway!! Keep your mind focused on the things you need to do and your family ti say safe. A back back that you always have prepared when bad weather is forecasted, with essentials in it. Keep your mind very focused on the radar, and being ready to go to your safe place. This truely helps. Was faced with this again just a couple of mounts ago, and Easter Sunday, 2020. I live in Tenn, close to Chatt. God bless you and know He’s got you. No human can control tornadoes, but He will help us through them. 🙏🙏🙏

    I can see why you were worried. The siren ambience in this video is the stuff of nightmares. I'm glad you didn't get hit.
    We had a tornado warning here in Ohio on February 28th (Yes, Really.) at around 5:15 AM. An EF2 touched down and passed very close to us. It caused some pretty severe damage to some houses, but thankfully, no one was killed. We were lucky to have not been hit.
