I have noticed that many tornadoes have clouds shaped like nuclear clouds.🌪️
Why you quit uploading
I was inside a tornado (twice in the same one when it came back for us) in Maine in June of 2006 and can remember the exact details of what it looked from inside and up. Aside from occasionally seeing the sky at the very top, some lightning strikes inside it would appear and the scariest part was the inner vortex that looked like a column of water which is the only way to describe it…the windiest part of it that I hope to never see in general again, or be inside of. It was an F-1 Tornado and holding on to a tree both times was not an easy thing to do. I watched it rope out over Sebago Lake and dissipate after and because the pressure was so low inside, my arthritis in my entire body made it hurt enough that I could barely walk for a 31 year old and in as good shape as I was and still am in. (I've had arthritis since I was 16 everywhere) I would never wish anyone to be caught in a tornado, let alone twice in one setting.
"If you live in tornado alley, its highly unlikely you will receive a direct hit. Even in the most tornado prone place in the world, any given square mile is only going to be hit by a twister every 700 years"?! 😳🤔
I think they should re-evaluate their analysis since I'm pretty sure Moore, OK was hit twice with a catastrophic EF5 in 1999 and 2013! That was only a 14 year difference, so that statistic is completely INACCURATE!
I live in Mississippi and we get tornadoes all year round
6:45 bruh that's like the falsest fact I've ever heard
There was 360 tornados in a 3 day period on the 2011 super outbreak 360 ÷ 3 makes 120 that means every day there must mave been a MINIMUM of 120 tornados breaking the apparent 105 tornado world record that the video states
The facts stated in the video are not credible and should not be taken as fact if your looking for information on weather events like the 1974 or 2011 super outbreak than the National Weather Services website is a good place to look
UK tornados are still nothing compared to ones here in the US no matter how you slice it.
Ahh tornadoes! One of the earth's natural population control methods
I
-really-didnt like the female american meteorologist chick; she came across as smug and wisearsed. A shame. Her information was good but the delivry sucked.I think Germany is going to have the next EF5
Eye right on top of the pyramid (volcano). How stupid do you have to be to align yourself with the greatest loser of all time?
FYI May 24th 2011 Oklahoma EF5 was much stronger and more violent than Joplin
As an AmeriCorps alumni, it's so awesome for the organization to get some recognition for all the good the members have done to help disaster-stricken communities
THERE IS NO MOTHER NATURE, ONLY FOOLS SUBSTITUTION OF GOD AND WRATH.
Global warming! The carbon dioxide! The polar bears safety!! Tax tax tax!!! Whatever buncha BS!!! Ive been telling people for decades the Tri State tornado will happen again. In fact it did happen again across FOUR states in December 2021. But of course it was downplayed big time by all these so called Mr Scientist know it alls. Dont matter what you say or do you are nothing compared to mother nature and she will have her revenge again I promise you!
April 2011 the death toll based on deaths vs tornado strength vs path length. All were nominal. BUT; Joplin had a large number of anomalies.. the first one being we literally just had a massacre 4/27/2011. It was 5/22/2011 not even a month away and they still ignored the watches that we expected violent long track tornadoes. Most of all of us chasing we went to the border of Kansas/Missouri 24 hrs in advance to stage and get ready for it. (We didn’t just go to Kansas to visit Walmart. The watches were well in advance. The warning said large dangerous long track tornado heading to Joplin. People were literally at the drive thru and acting as if nothing was happening. I think they have a very low tornado IQ because they all told me the same thing. “ We had no warning” which is lie the watch watch was put out 5-6hrs before.
Btw the whole overpass thing. Literally the same people that sit around saying don’t get under one are the same people that would get under one. When you get in the oath of a tornado your priority is getting hard concrete around you. I’ve treated patients that were under bridges and those survived the majority a woman and man go in the ditch and all the debris collected in the ditch. They had 3-4 2x4s impaled into them including the head. Obviously fatal. — getting under a overpass is not something you plan to do, you don’t leave town with shelters to go get under a bridge. The people that ended up under one did so because they have been lied to that “you can’t outrun a tornado.” So what did they do? The tornado was 5-8miles away from them and they stop there vehicle on the interstate and get under a bridge. *literally all they had to do is keep driving forward at the speed limit and they would have been fine. But instead they stop there vehicle right in the path all because they were brainwashed that “ you can’t out run a tornado” which is total BS. I’ve literally drove circles around tornados of all kinds. Even in Dixie alley with the fast movers if 60-70mph you have plenty of time if your aware. But one incident at a bridge I dealt with. The people stopped on the path 7-8min before the tornado arrived so it was extremely disheartening knowing all they had to do is keep going and it would of passed behind them.
We’ve tracked suction vortices going 90-130mph across the ground speed not rotational. But I saw a fellow chaser who captured video of a 185mph suction vor forward velocity across the ground delta.
What about looking for the hook in the clouds?
My cousin was in the Joplin tornado and survived! Her house was one of 3 I believe on her street not destroyed, she lived near the hospital mentioned. It took us a week to get a hold of her because of communication lines being down.
My family and I were in the path of the Tuscaloosa tornado and one that hit further north in Alabama. Both luckily dispersed before they got to us. But there were still very high winds and we found Mail from people who lived 2 hours away from us. Our meteorologist James Spann did an amazing job trying to cover the over 62 tornados that hit Alabama that day that killed almost 300 people. More people would have died if it weren’t for the warnings from the meteorologists covering the storms that day.
Anyone else see green teeth?
I beg to differ with that lady in the first few minutes saying that the United States only has tornadoes certain times of the year. I live in Mississippi and we get tornadoes every single month of the year. We get no off-months. Tornado Alley may get tornadoes only certain months but the deep South, aka Dixie Alley, we get them constantly. We are second in tornado deaths each year only to Texas.
I believe that disasters like this bring out the best in people.
11:38 Fujita discovered a correlation between wind speed and damage caused? So the more wind, the more damage? OK……this isn't exactly a breaking discovery as it is just common sense. It's like saying someone discovered a direct correlation between rain and getting wet. I'll never completely understand the Enhanced Fujita scale. They say its based on damage rather than direct wind speed measurement. And that damage is determined by wind speed. And then they go on to list the 5 levels of the EF scale and each one is given a wind speed to differentiate one from the other. WTF? Does no one else see the issue there? It all still seems to come down to wind speed. So………again, it's very confusing to me.
God I love tornadoes…I want to see one so bad
Not sure where they get their info but half of it isnt correct. I live in oklahoma. We get them every year. 34 a year in England huh. We get that in a week. This show is garbage. Not finishing it.
Informative and interesting. However, using kilometres when the FJ scale was created in MPH in the United States, is arrogant in this report. For translation, here is the correct scale:
Weak EF0, EF1 Wind speeds of 65 to 110 mph
Strong EF2, EF3 Wind speeds of 111 to 165 mph
Violent EF4, EF5 Wind speeds of 166 to 200 mph or more
If you don't have a secure room or storm cellar, the safest thing you can do is to grab hold of a CCTV camera and hang on for dear life. Those things can survive anything.
Me to bro but I’m nine so I cant
I do to but I’m nine so I got another 11 years
Rest in peace those lost in April 2011
What about Alabama it was one of our biggest and deadliest tornadoes in a few years destroyed many cities and communities… It went through half of alabama so why were we left off the list???
And I didn't think that the U.K got any tornadoes at all.wow.
The narrator is kinda wrong about the 2011 Joplin EF5 wind speeds. The NWS surveyor’s stated that the tornado had max winds speeds of >200 mph, not 320 mph.
Ask Moore, OK how rare it is to be hit by an EF5 tornado.
Five years ago, Webster, Ma where I reside, had 3 tornadoes that Sat Morning. I woke to thunder thinking no big deal, let's see how long it'll last since I need to run errands. Imagine my surprise when the weather said TORNADO WARNING FOR WEBSTER MA! We had not only 1, but3! Tow of the three were EF3's, and one EF1. i wasn't in the area where they touched down, but I was home, woke my son, he said no way u til he saw what I had, he grabbed our cat, and he said what do we do. I said, don't panic. Panic kills, but it's not here, it's downtown, and it'll be in effect until 11:30 a.m. By the time the all clear was given, most t.v. stations were on all day, broadcasting from downtown live
On April 27th 4 EF5 tornadoes occurred. 2 in Mississippi . And 2 in Alabama…..Also 2 more EF5s occurred that year one in Oklahoma and the Joplin tornado. I am certain that year probably produced several more EF5 caliber tornadoes around those outbreaks but with how the National Weather Service rates tornadoes they dont get highest rankings.
The NWS really made a mess of the Enhanced Fuijita scale
My dad has been in 100 tornados and he has survived it I know OMGGGG?!?!?!?!?!
I knew tornadoes can and do happen all over the world with places like India having a lot of them annually. However, I did not know that the UK has them that often at 34 a year on avg, it sounds like nothing compared to the 800-1000 we get here in the US but when you consider how much smaller the UK is then it puts it in perspective! It does sound like the tornadoes they experience are not as strong or as violent tho, so I guess that’s a good thing for them at least!!
Now Mexican food is classified by hotness on the Fajita scale. I had a F5 taco last night.
Is it just me or is the lady meteorologist with glasses very attractive. She could talk to me about tornadoes all night
Now they can add the Quad State Tornado of Dec 10-11 2021 to the list: Arkansas,Missouri,Tennessee, Kentucky! In the USA its all year around not just Spring or Fall!
