Yeah if there's no hail, rain, stuff like that outside of the actual circulation, I'm probably going to try and make a run for it. But if it's like others where it was dark and rainy and I have a basement, I'm hunkering down.
As an Omahan, and as someone who has been picked up by a tornado in my car and dropped. That guy was very foolish to get in his truck and head out to try and outrun a mile wide tornado coming straight at him. Go to the basement.
@@JohnDoeYouAre yeah going 100mph on neighborhood streets through the rain with your kids in the car is smart too. Pay attention when there is severe weather. You usually have time to make a safer decision. If it’s too late just stay in the basement.
How high up did the nador lift ya? One foot? quarter mile? I saw a video of a storm chaser and his friends. They got in the twister and all you hear is the roar, all the windows explode and disappears. hail beating the piss outta the car and I can truthfully say if I was in my car, in the air, inside a twist I'd toss my underpants out the window before I landed.
I have been in 4 tornadoes including one that I lost my entire house. No one ever did anything to help me at all. In fact after the storm I got looted. Tornadoes are bad but people are worse
Thinking of the victims and their families at this time. I understand some of what the survivors must be going through, and my heart goes out to them. I was lucky to escape with my life after a massive tornado hit the back side of NAS Memphis where I was receiving Navy training, in May 1988. I experienced 2 more tornados in my life since then. One was large, but missed us. The other was a direct hit, but it was small, so not much damage. Every time a warning goes off I heed it and get to cover ASAP. Never ignore tornado warnings. They can appear suddenly and take everything you have, including your life!
@@HeatherRose2023 I chase tornadoes. Do you know how I determine which storms to chase? They exhibit inflow notches or a defined hook on the inflow base of the storm structure and doppler radar confirms vorticity long before an actual, visible condensation funnel is on the ground. This is why tornado sirens sound, often while there is no actual tornado witnessed by everyone in a warned area. Ignorance of the technological advantage we have to see the rotation in advance of an actual tornado is nothing more then apathy and mental laziness based on years of people hearing warnings and sirens without actually experiencing a direct hit or visual confirmation but you only have to be wrong once. Your safety and your family's safety is your responsibility.
@@fishguru73 Well, goody two shoes for you, Einstein, but mist people don’t go around spending their lives chasing tornados or have access to the computer/dopplar technology you have. Some people only have an alert and siren to warn them, which doesn’t always allow much time to react and plan an escape. Some people have to fly by the seat of our pants, while you storm chasers are creating videos to market on UA-cam.
If even one well-constructed, single-family home is reduced to a pile of debris on the foundation or basement, the tornado is rated EF4. I see a LOT of piles of debris on foundations and basements. But in this video I do not see a swept clean foundation. Such a finding would constitute an EF5 tornado. And they are very rare.
Thats what I'm wondering...the only thing I can think is maybe he didn't have one...but these are pretty new houses and Nebraska is in tornado alley. I think he just made a bad decision any luckily got out of the way in time
He did say that his family was the their basement. He’s lucky that the tornado didn’t take a sudden turn and kill him and his family. The best thing to do is stay hunkered down in your basement.
Nope there’s been accounts of people dying in their basement. Parkersburg tornado pulled people from their basement. Also there’s been people crushed in basements and some drowned in underground shelters. Doesn’t happen all the time, but in the case of this tornado, just based on how it looked, I’d have left as well. Not to mention the injuries, a lot them are permanent
If we built houses like the fortresses you internet idealists insist they be even fewer people could afford them. You don't deprive people of an everyday need because it might get destroyed by a fraction of 1% ever happening circumstance.
Why keep building houses of paper and wood in areas like this? Tax papers pay for alot of this is our premiums are effected when so much damages happen. Can we not build stronger houses that are tornado resistance? Concrete?
Because homes need to be affordable for everyday needs, not indestructible for fraction of 1% ever happening circumstances. You comments section idealists never get that through your skulls.
@@scarpfish @scarpfish I just disagree, the house may be smaller and not these massive houses that we dont need but a effort should be made to build to withstand fire , hurricanes and tornadoes. Some people say quality is better even if more expensive because they last longer . But tax payers pay for this. I bet your against SS . Seems everyone has their government bailouts they agree with that benefits them. Americans can invent better , do better. There was a man on Tv who lost everything in the 1970s and now again. He couldn't stop crying it was so painful but countries around the world build out if concrete that withstands . Idealist? No just practical using the brain and not wanting to be a burden of society . Knowing that tax payers will pay or other insurers by their insurance premiums will increase actually concerns some people . It always amazes me how American innovators who try to invent new ways or bring back the traditions of the old days when things lasted because they were made so well are criticized . Some inventions will be good like solar panels and some bad like the windmills. LITHIUM batteries for tooks good , cars too costly to replace. We need American innovators to be encouraged like they used to be , being the leaders for the world. Now its criticized which is nuts But lets use our minds to build better to reduce even a single risk of someone loosing everything they worked so hard for. Dont criticize me for caring about others😉
You obviously know little to nothing about tornados, how they form or thr destructive force they carry. These is a great opportunity for you to research this. Anyone with any empathy and compassion would not focus on home construction.
Living in tornado alley, your expectation of tornadoes is kinda like the expectation of Earthquakes in California. You see so many of those kinds of events (severe storms) that you just learn to live with it and never expect a tornado to actually do harm to you and your lifestyle. Theres a trope that people that live in tornado alley are dopes, but that's just not a fair analysis.
I wouldn't really consider Nebraska tornado Alley we haven't seen a big tornado since 1975. With that being said praying for everybody dealing with this current difficult situation
Almost anywhere one chooses to live in this country there is the potential for some kind of devastating natural disaster. Hurricanes, flooding, forest fires etc happen all over the country and people have to live somehow while also understanding the risk of a given area they choose to live in. So for anyone to call people 'dopes' for living in tornado alley or any area vulnerable to tornadoes are pretty ignorant themselves. imo
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 yes I agree but for the newscaster to say tornado Alley it's kind of out of place I can see if this was Oklahoma but this didn't happen in Oklahoma
@@michaeldeierhoi4096exactly heard on this channel Florida gets the most over 40 tornadoes warnings. Not including hurricane session for fall. Who’s the real dopes?
In Oklahoma, fleeing in your vehicle is actually an option given by meteorologists if your home or work does not have a basement, and you have a clear path away from the twister.
These new homes will all be well insured. The mortgage company isn’t going to lose its collateral. I feel sorry for the people in older homes that may be covered by insurance. I hope they came through okay.
I wonder how insurance treats those kinds of cases. Do they repair the house or write it off? Does it even make sense to rebuild in a place that is tornado prone or is it more like a lottery, i.e. you can’t “win” twice statistically?
@@nielsdorhout058I don’t believe anyone said anything about a house rebuilding itself. You don’t believe in God but you must believe the possibility of God being real exists. Right?
Praying for everyone to come to know JESUS in this time of hardship. God allows trials to come to our life, to get us closer to Him. Have FAITH in God . He will make things possible when you put your TRUST in Him.🙏❤️
As someone who has been picked up by a tornado in my car and dropped. That guy was very foolish to get in his truck and head out to try and outrun a mile wide tornado coming straight at him. Go to the basement.
It really depends on how far you can see, where the tornado is and what the road conditions are. Give me an empty paved road and a two mile+ head start and I’m not worried. Wet gravel roads though? You can’t go 100 on those. Got a basement to go in? Do it.
NOOOO YOU CANNOT I grew up n IOWA -thiis is precisely why you GO TO THE BASEMENT AND COVER YOUR BODY WITH A MATTRESS_I know of people who were driving -the tornado hit -and they ended upside down in the ditch and with a SEVERE BRAIN INJURY from the impact. Tornadoes do NOT always follow a straight line=STOP GIVING PEOPLE DANGEROUS ADVICE!!!!!!!
You never jump in a car when you SEE the tornado coming. In Oklahoma, we have underground storm shelters. Besides, can you imagine what it's like to be on the road with everyone else?
Nebraska is in tornado alley pretty much all houses have basements...he just did what you aren't supposed to do which is go outside and try to outrun the tornado.
They are poorly built to withstand a tornado. Tornado alley doesn’t mean there are 100 tornadoes every day. I have seen zero so far out of 50 years. Although I do work at the airport that got hit
Nebraska's so big and a majority of them touchdown in the western parts. Omaha is such a small area compared to the rest of the state. The odds of something of this magnitude to occur is quite rare.
Because there's a better than 99% chance that one never will. Tornadoes, even big ones, have pretty small damage footprints compared to other natural disasters.
It hasn’t over 40 years. Only south of Lincoln Nebraska back in 2011 April 27th a little tornado Ef1 hit south of town knocked a Lee’s Chicken restaurant roster off. This is new to us unlike southern states.
Those houses are over $400,000 to $800,000 due too inflation above 8% on the market. Might be a cheaper neighborhood to build for the future? Prone to damage.
Do you live in tornado alley? I’m not going to judge this man. I’m glad their family survived. But trying to drive away from a tornado is incredibly dangerous. Especially because this one was so big. They can be unpredictable. They’ll turn in whatever direction they want. This guy must have just panicked or something because in tornado alley we are taught to get to our basements or a room without interior windows to take shelter. Those are your best chances of survival. I’m grateful he and his family are ok though ❤
@@costcoshrimpcubes If an EF3 or greater is heading directly towards your house and you have a chance to drive away, rather than being stuck under debris in your basement, which option is better? Listen to what other meteorologists said during the Moore tornados. Driving away IS an option. And yes, I do live where tornados occur.
Just glad he got his family out of that path of that thing. That storm was catastrophic.
Praying for every house every person that involved in this incident pray for God continue protection
