But in the last few days there have been 3 sighted funnel clouds around Sierra Vista, Bisbee and Naco, very unusual for SE Arizona. Times they are a changing. I left Illinois to get away from them and they've finally caught me. LOL
I can tell you exactly the day it was, August 29, 1993 because it was my birthday and we were babysitting the home we were buying while the owners were moving some of their things to Kingman. We've seen a few mesos down here over the 19+ years we've been here, but nothing like that one in the video. What fun chasing storms and tornadoes. Back in Illinois if I heard of a tornado any where close I'd hop in the vehicle and go try to find it so I could watch it.
I've always been a weather nut, saved my hide a few times in Illinois. A few years back I actually saw a meso and then the tail dropped. I called my neighbor (she's on a hill next door) and had her look out her kitchen window at it. She was thrilled to see it and then asked what she do. I said just watch it unless you see the tail start dropping then head to the lower level. It of course didn't but it was pretty cool to watch from my own yard.
I'll bet this was one. I watch the news and weather and I don't I've ever seen or heard of one this big, at least in our part of the state. I can remember coming home after surgery in phoenix and seeing the tail dropping out of a cloud ahead of us but then quickly it disappeared. Sierra Vista has had at least a couple sightings and maybe a short touchdown since I've been here. One out by Herdford I believe.
Heck I've seen some giagantic dust devils down here that usually put those little tornadoes to shame. My neighbor tells me of a time one took off the roof of his carport. Would have like to have watched the crew scatter when you mentioned tornado, probably worse then yelling .... "INDIANS!" LOL
She says it is ventricular as though she's basically indicating that is fantastic there's nothing fantastic or ventricular about a tornado hitting your town Just because tornadoes is rare in Phoenix Arizona doesn't mean people won't be killed theirthere will come a day and time where a F5 tornado will eventually touchdown in that state and kill every last one of the people there Phoenix Arizona don't even have houses that has basements or storm shelters People just assume that a tornado won't hit that state just because they think it's rare all those people in Phoenix Arizona are being fooled, no one in Arizona will be prepared for that until someone they know lives are being taken
@@jeriw It doesn't matter how many miles it was from Phoenix Arizona, the people in Arizona is not prepare for a tornado that could possibly hit, Phoenix Arizona houses are not being built with basements or storm shelters, If a EF four or five was to come and hit Phoenix there might not be any survivors, anything is possible you dealing with climate change People supposed to be prepared for anything The people in the south like Atlanta never expected to get snow, until a real bad snow storm hit, everything had to close down
@@javiancrawford1143 Anything is possible with mother nature, but because of the low percent of chances, I'm sure people feel it's not economical to build basements, plus with our soil, a lot of rock, it's not worth the effort. We just had an F1 hit in Wilcox last week, smaller town but it did damage but wasn't on the ground for very long My neighbor has a bi-level home, bottom half underground on three sides, if there was a warning, that's where I would go. But I don't worry about them like I did in Illinois.
@@jeriw I agree with you But I'm just not going to Phoenix Arizona without a basement or storm shelters, I don't underestimate mother nature, I don't go based on what people think or feel based on reality, I thought Arizona don't get tornados, but after seeing this and other videos like this, I certainly don't want to take a chance of moving down there without knowing for a fact in case it does actually happened people will be secured and prepared
@@javiancrawford1143 Well I'm close to the border so it's not tornado free here either. We do get our share of mesocyclones which can develop into a tornado. I didn't think Washington, had them but my grand daughter said they had one not too far from them, small of course but I don't know if anywhere in the US is totally safe, Sounds like Alaska and Hawaii have the least and maybe some of the north eastern states.
tornados in AZ are so rare that we don't even have tornado sirens

jeriw you jinxed us!
GraveDigger35 yup, my fault, LOL.
+GraveDigger35 in Tucson we do have a few sirens, I don't think they ever get activated.. i'm not sure they actually even work lol
I live in Sierra Vista :p

Hi! May I upscale this footage using AI and repost it with FULL credit to you?

Jen, notice how young Jimmy looked here?
hey that's jimmy Stewart
Yup, wish he was still doing the weather.
+jeriw haha that'd be awesome
I miss him!
I remember this.
I live super close to Huachuca city.
I live between Whetstone and Tombstone.
My mistake it was an F1 :/
This was an F0 tornado, 0 injuries and 0 fatalities occurred
I heard there were a few hares with less hair after it went through, I'm just sayin' LOL
It crazy

It was 200 miles SE of Phoenix.
