1. EF1-5 EF5-Finger of god.

2. Hi Kabir, in that first clip, the $5 million in damage was for Montgomery County ONLY. So just one county in one state – massive damage.

3. 20:24 Perfect timing with that hand gesture Kabir!

4. There is no global warming! We are actually in a cooling trend!

5. If you want to see more traffic pile ups there's a few videos of them on I-80 in Wyoming. A mix of low visibility, ice and snow

6. Couple days ago , F2 just hit a small town about 10 miles from my house. Driver in the video from Florida is a dumbass for driving right into it

7. Some fires are natural and necessary. Trees like Eucalyptus have to be exposed to heat of a fire to release their seeds from the resin coating around them.

8. An EF 5 tornado is the highest rating, like CAT 5 is the highest rating for hurricanes. They are over 200 mph (321 kph). Sinkholes are caused by various reasons. The ground underneath is washed away (by burst pipes, rainwater, underground water sources or the groundwater has been lowered, causing the soil to sink) the surface can no longer support itself. The problem with sinkholes is that they tend to grow. Fixing them requires fixing the underlying problem, and then pouring concrete into the hole or using clay with very little to no sand.

9. Clarksville, Tennessee my half-sister and her husband and 2 kids in the 1990s used to live there now in Elizabethtown ky

10. Tornadoes are categorized by windspeed. Some skinny tornadoes have been EF5s. Think of a figure skater in the Olympics. At the end of a performance, they bring their arms in to their chest & make their legs tighter to speed-up when they're spinning. The tighter the arms & legs, the faster the skater will go. The same goes for tornadoes. Tornadoes just need the right spin from the environment. Some form quickly, while other tornadoes take time to firm. Some can be skinny EF5s, & other EF5s are monsters.

    P.S. If you want another crazy weather & traffic video, look up "193 Car Pileup In Michigan". It happened in January of 2015, & let's just it was a big bang of a time in more ways than one. 👍

11. Wildfires aren't necessarily part of global warming. They happen naturally and there are quite a few plants that need fire to spread their seeds. There are things that can be done to prevent them or reduce their size when they happen, though. Some of the places that have the worst wildfires are also the places that don't allow people to clear brush or dig firebreaks around their homes.

12. global warming is completely natural. after EVERY major ice age the earth warms until 22c average temp. Humans can do nothing to stop it as we don't even know why the earth cycles back and forth

13. I used to drive taxi cab in Tampa Florida. I had 4 people going to the airport. Traffic backed up as soon as we entered downtown Tampa. I was slowing down as the Traffic came to a halt. Luckily I looked in my rear view mirror. There was a loaded dump truck coming and I calculated it wasn't going to have time or distance to stop. So I shot down the side of the road to avoid being hit. My passengers freaked out thinking I was a nut job. I told them look behind us. They were very happy with my driving suddenly. If I didn't do that we could have all been killed.

14. Where's Miley Cirus when you need her

15. Most of those flashes are transformers blowing.

16. Japan is directly on the pacific rim. The catch hell with earthquakes. California has on average 20 irrelevant earthquakes every day.

17. Modern buildings in San Francisco for example, are built on rollers so the whole building rolls with the punches. So to speak.

18. The clean up and rebuilding is frequently financed with federal tax payer money, but insurers also have a stake in the rebuilding process as well.

20. In our history books, California reports these wildfires back as far as the late 1840s. They used to lose a lot of cattle during these wildfires. It doesn't really have anything to do with anthropogenic global warming or as they say climate change today. The fires were larger and lasted longer in the 19th century as well. Presumably bcuz we had no way to fight fires back then.

21. Wind speed. They go from EF-0 to EF-5. Usually in Florida they get EF-0 to EF-1 and occasionally an EF-2. I saw an EF-0 hit a mobile home and didn't cause any damage.

22. The one thing I've learned over my many years is to pay attention to local animals and pets, if they are seeking shelter you should too. They have the ability to sense when the weather is about to change. You will often see the birds leave the sky and ground animals seeking shelter in a grove of trees or available buildings. Unlike us they are still connected to nature.
    The reason most of the US south doesn't move during ice or snow is the same as that last one. There are very few plows, salt, or even sand trucks, so we have to drive in those conditions, better to just stay home. Coming from a person who learned to drive up north in the winter.

23. In every video you decide what causes stuff and what should be done about it. So funny.

24. There is no way to keep these wildfires from happening. As bad as they can be, they are part of natures way to keep the vegetation from getting overgrown. I know that sounds odd, but there are seeds from certain plants that need fire to start the germination process.

25. Not safe to drive over powerlines HOWEVER, not much you can do. Its better to be grounded by 4 rubber tires than to be on foot.

26. Sinkholes are caused by rainwater getting underneath the soil snd sinking the foundation. Or it can happen when theres a mine below.

27. I’m surprised they didn’t have the Pennsylvania squall pile up!

28. Taxpayers ultimately pick up the tab.

29. $5M in damage in just that one county…

30. Insurance pays the bill. If declared a disaster by the state or feds some funds will be available after alot of paperwork but mostley its Insurance.

31. The city or state covers damages

32. You can't stop the fires, it's a normal part of nature that has been happening as far back as history has been recorded. It has nothing to do with global warming, which is also a normal phenomenon that was happening long before humans even showed up. The earth goes in cycles of heating and cooling, the scientic proof is all out there. Our effect on global warming has been wildly overinflated so as to benefit political agendas and line pockets. The earth has been doing it's thing since the beginning, and it will do so long after we are gone. Great video man, keep up the great work.

33. The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale)

    From the National Weather Service; “The Enhanced Fujita Scale or EF Scale, which became operational on February 1, 2007, is used to assign a tornado a 'rating' based on estimated wind speeds and related damage. When tornado-related damage is surveyed, it is compared to a list of Damage Indicators (DIs) and Degrees of Damage (DoD) which help estimate better the range of wind speeds the tornado likely produced. From that, a rating (from EF0 to EF5) is assigned.

    The EF Scale was revised from the original Fujita Scale to reflect better examinations of tornado damage surveys so as to align wind speeds more closely with associated storm damage. The new scale has to do with how most structures are designed.

    EF SCALE
    EF Rating 3 Second Gust (mph)
    0 65-85
    1 86-110
    2 111-135
    3 136-165
    4 166-200
    5 Over 200

    * IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT EF SCALE WINDS: The EF scale still is a set of wind estimates (not measurements) based on damage. Its uses three-second gusts estimated at the point of damage based on a judgment of 8 levels of damage to the 28 indicators listed below. These estimates vary with height and exposure. Important: The 3 second gust is not the same wind as in standard surface observations. Standard measurements are taken by weather stations in open exposures, using a directly measured, "one minute mile" speed.”

34. On the subject of stopping brush fires, I do know a bit about it, though I'm not a firefighter and don't know all the details. I just live in an area very prone to fire (I lost a house to one, and I also had to drive my car through one – not the same one, we're talking two separate fires.) and know how to read reports on the fires. The goal is containment, not dousing the fire. Some water is used via water drops from helicopters or specially designed planes, but it's just as often these aircraft drop chemical fire retardant instead. You want to build a perimeter around the fire that is difficult for the fire to cross, thus 'containing' it and allowing it to burn out once it has run out of fuel. Creating firebreaks using bulldozers and the like to make great swaths of dirt that don't burn and so cause the fire to stop is one way. Another way that is frightening to consider but has been employed very successfully is to light a backburn. This is a controlled fire lit in front of the path of the oncoming brushfire. The backburn fire destroys the fuel in the path of the brushfire, forcing the fire to stop spreading. A brushfire that cannot move forward also has trouble moving back across its own path because all that fuel has already been burned. Once the brushfire no longer has any fuel to burn, it is contained.

35. Fires are actually supposed to happen. It's a natural thing that clears fallen trees and brush, and promotes new growth. The problem is we have built homes everywhere, so those fires that are extremely necessary for the environment and plant life, are very inconvenient to us. It's not a plant life problem, it's a "people have been inconvenienced" problem, like global warning. The earth goes through periods of warmer weather and cooler weather, but it's been happening since the beginning of time. Its literally documented in the layers scientists uncover all the time, and it will continue to happen long after all of us are gone. Its inconvenient to us, but that doesnt change a thing…neither does extra taxes that politicians pocket but say they are spending to stop the issue.

36. When you buy a home you usually have a mortgage and to to get a mortgage you need to have insurance on that house just in case of things like this.

37. In the first clip, you can hear the servere weather alert that Nick from Swegle Studios had mentioned. Rather common to hear an alert for a watch vs a warning, actually!

    (As a reminder, a "watch" had the ingredients of severe weather. But a "warning" is ongoing)

38. Global warming isn't the cause of fires. People cause most of them. Lightning strikes cause them too.

39. Sinkholes are often, but not always caused by water erosion beneath the surface of the earth and the water drains leaving a pocket of air that eventually collapses.

40. Stay in the car… but DO NOT touch anything metal inside the car.
