Most storm days, you may have 3-4 tornado warnings at a time. On the major days, you'll see around 10 warnings at once. On that day, I remember 32 warnings at once. Nobody could keep up. Every single storm cell was going severe and half of those were dropping tornadoes. It was surreal.
Bear in mind that the El Reno/Piedmont EF5 discussed was not the same tornado that would strike El Reno two years later and become the widest tornado ever recorded. Also, while I love "Twister" as much as the next person, it's about as far away from reality as you can get.
I am so glad you reacted to this. It's genuinely one of my favorite tornado videos. And I gotta recommend the videos. "April 27th 2011 Tornadoes: The Super Outbreak" by Disaster Documentaries and "April 27, 2011 Tornado Outbreak Montage" by RollTide1987. Both videos are so good at showing just how crazy April 27, 2011 was. I recommend the second one more, but it would be so awesome to see you react to both.
El Reno almost got hit again last night. Tornado went south by a few miles and hit union city instead. It was a tornado emergency weather if union city near Custer City earlier yesterday.
I used to live in El Reno and I was watching that tornado last night. After experiencing the El Reno/Piedmont tornado, the EF5 tornado in May of 2011, I moved out of OK. Not having grown up in tornado alley, I had no immunity to tornadoes because I wasn't used to them. I grew up in Northern NY and I moved back to NY to deal with blizzards instead of tornadoes... I did have an immunity to them and knew how to deal with them. I've never seen a more vicious, angry, black sky than I did on that day.
@@cnatview as someone who is also from upstate NY, I wouldn't know what to do with myself out there - especially having seen that. I'd trade tornadoes for snow any day of the week.
@@cnatviewbrother south of you, (Indiana) it's an unnerving, eire black sky. I've been in a handful of TORs and its still frightening. Tornado alley really isn't in Indiana, at least not as much as it used to. (Praying to God and knocking on wood that it stays that way)
The last EF5 to happen was 11 years ago in Moore in Oklahoma(2013). There are several who believe the 2013 el Reno tornado should’ve been an EF5 as well but it wasn’t classified as such since it never hit any strong structures
Correct, and that is why it was not an EF5. As it does not matter the size/windspeed/duration of the storm. The EF rating is for cost of damage (technically it's what it destroyed but lets not split hairs). This IMO is why 2011 had the worst year. Things lined up right for a bunch of tornados to go more rural areas and cost more damage. Then within a few years everyone/everything was updated to prevent more of this damage the next time. I agree with some people that EF scale is fault when you base it on monetary damage alone.
@@Dkgowcorrect but we can all unanimously agree that had the El Reno twister not dissipated when it did, not only would it have rated an EF5, but today we would be remembering 2013 as the year that 2 EF5s struck the Oklahoma City Metro in an event that probably could’ve/would’ve been worse than Joplin
Everyone forgets about the early/mid April tornado outbreak though, the April 15th outbreak due to the Super Outbreak, much like the May 18-19, 2013 tornadoes
Twister is 1 of those movies that made people more aware of the destructive ablity of Tornadoes. But the scariest Tornadoe movie is the night of the twister. For it was based on the 1974 Tornado outbreak.
No it wasn’t. Ivy Ruckman wrote the book that movie is based off of, the night Grand Island Nebraska was hit by an outbreak. I believe the early 80’s not certain on the year. But definitely not about the 1974 super outbreak.
My grandfather always maintained that every switch from El Nino to La Nina was a prime trigger for very active tornado activity across the plains. There are just more not necessarily more intense. The only saving grace with tornados on the great plains is daytime you can usually see them coming in time to take action. You might lose your house, barn, crops, animals but now days there are not as many people killed as 50 or 100 years ago. Still not fun.
Yup! I was just about to say this myself. The switch from an El Nino to and El Nina weather pattern can greatly effect tornado season. This year is a switch year too. I hope the rest of May and June aren't plagued with 2011 level of tornadoes.
There are all sorts of federal disaster relief programs to help house people and rebuild towns. Most people end up leaning heavily on their homeowners or renters insurance.
I enjoy these types of videos. Most other videos always mention the names and stats of the tornados, but not as in depth of the damage done and path. Would recommend similar videos out there done on the Rainsville, Jarrel, Mayfield, Greensburg, Soso-Bassfield, and Washington tornados.
We were part of the May outbreak. A tornado tore through the western part of our county, heading straight for my daughter's school and our house. It veered off and skirted the town to the north, ripping up the community just to the northeast. It picked up my friend's car, spun it around, and threw it in the ditch. Miraculously, she was able to drive it out of the ditch and make it to her brother's house, which was missing its front porch.
Bama here. No one who's alive today that was living in our great state on April 27th, 2011, will ever or could ever forget that day. I think it's safe to say the majority of us still suffer from some form of PTSD from the stress and pain that day would ultimately unveil. Rather it be from losing our loved ones, surviving the tornados, losing our homes, or just witnessing the shear destruction of our communities. It was like we were living in a zombie apocalypse. Fortunately for us, we're resilient and come together to rebuild in tragic times such as this. I just pray it will spare us the grief should another super outbreak occur in our lifetime. God forbid.
tornados are not as common where I live, but DO occur. I moved back to where I grew up (outside of Indianapolis). im 62 (altho 20 years as an adult I was in s. Florida. I remember a tornado of 1965.....and since that time there has only been one other in my area. you are looking at the most extreme....it's not a commonplace occurrence, and is more frequent in a handful of locations in the USA. HOWEVER if you are ever involved with one im sure (like myself from 1965) you will never forget. One of the most unique/amazing aspects is that a piece of straw can be driven into a tree. There are a handful of precautions ppl take upon hearing the "warning" but it comes up so quickly that there is little time to prepare. As for hurricanes, our house in FL was (single story) but 10 houses from the beach in Naples...Ivan (2020) our house was 2 ft under water....and I mean the top of the one-story home. You get days notice w/ hurricanes but they "shift" with short notice, but much more notice that tornados.
I’ll never forget the 2011 super outbreak. I had to wait almost an hr to hear back from a friend after he had texted he was taking shelter. He lost his home but him & his family survived. My grandparents were almost hit. Missed them by 1.5 miles. Almost everyone I knew had to take shelter at some point on April 27th. I too had to take shelter. I was lucky I didn’t lose anyone that day. It just wouldn’t stop. Warning after warning.
Floods, Fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards and ice storms are probably the biggest costs. The floods in the Midwest along the Mississippi River have been just horrible. Look up The Great Flood of 93 sometime. People lived in tents for months in St Louis. Some areas were just total destruction and couldn't be rebuilt. I was 12 and we spent all summer just trying to save our neighborhood. Our house was flooded for 3 weeks but the land was still stable enough to rebuild on. Other areas didn't even have enough land underneath to rebuild anything. 3 billion in damage just for St. Louis and the flood heavily effected multiple other states and cities. Edit - You asked how you come back from all this destruction? Because it's just what you do.
i live in alabama and was in high school at the time and remember the alabama tornado very well there was a person that i went to school with that found a gas station sign form tuscaloosa a town over an hour away in their yard
Here in Louisville, Ky. we get app. 43 inches of rain per year, have app. 200 cloudless days, usually very mild winters, some years we get no snow or go below freezing (other years we get the occasional Blizzard, but rare). I consider Tornadoes as the Tax I pay to be able to live here in the land of Plenty. Note; it does get hotter than blazes in summer with very high Humidity, if you hate hot summers this is not for you.
Unfortunately, this year is looking pretty similar to 2011 based on what we've already seen and the forecast. It's going to be a really active season, and I hope everyone is able to stay safe.
Something the vid didn't touch on is the 27th was part of a four day outbreak and it was more than just Alabama and Georgia (Rising Fawn is in that state) affected, it was pretty much anywhere conditions were right across the four days, tornadoes happened. One other thing specific to the 27th,is that the earlier round of severe weather in the early morning hours of the 27th knocked out power and a radio tower, meaning that there was no easy way for people to get weather warnings. In between the two EF5 mentioned, you had an EF4 that went through Cullman, AL, and several others as well, that day tornadoes were dropping seemingly everywhere all at once. And then you had May which had two equally as violent tornadoes, those being Joplin and El Reno ((2011) which is overshadowed by the other El Reno tornado two years later, despite being more violent. And then you had the rest of the year.
There was an EF-4 tornado on that day that hit lake Martin Alabama and the rotation moved over my house but thankfully for us it didn’t touch down on us but it was crazy to think if it had touched down on us it dropped about 10 minutes later
To me, it is humbling to be reminded that our child's play is just that. Mother nature is the dominant force regardless of how we view ourselves. While there may be places where the odds seem better, there really is no "safe" place. What we can do is be grateful for our opportunities and what we do have while we have it. 😉
We just had a tornado run through downtown Houston! Downtown is closed off due to falling glass from buildings and clean up. Tornadoes usually don't hit major cities due to the huge reflection of heat off the concrete screws up the rotational dynamics of hot and cold air. DIDN'T THIS TIME! Also, the skyscrapers break up the Tornadoes ability to stay together. DIDN'T THIS TIME!
the only reason downtown areas dont get tornadoes is cause downtown areas are small iv never heard of any actual evidence that they stop tornadoes from forming.
Earthquakes definitely happen. Fortunately they aren't usually monsters, but they can be. What you're forgetting is hurricanes. I really suggest that you check out Hurricane Harvey. It can leave you speechless. We got 3 feet of rain in the first 24 hours, and Harvey stalled on top of us for days.
If you want to see more F5’s I highly suggest “The History of EF5’s” by TornadoTRX goes through 95% of all the F5’s in history. Long vid but a good one
I don't know if you've done it but you should react to one or more major hurricanes like Katrina or Andrew. They affect much wider areas and, since you're hooked on tornadoes, they spin off many of those. Also they can be watched as they form (usually off west Africa) and move across the Atlantic through the Antilles and into the US.
Please react to the (paramedic force 5 bridge creek and moore, Oklahoma tornado May 3 1999). It's the first responders response to the 1999 moore, Oklahoma F5 tornando. I currently work as an EMT with EMSA in tulsa, Oklahoma. We use this video for training new hires on mass casualty response. The camera crews riding with these ambulance crews were making a Tv show on the day and life of first responders the day moore got hit. Most people have no idea what happen in the aftermath of a tornado. This video is a great watch to understand what it takes to triage a mass casualty incident.
It might be kind of late for your time of day, but we are supposed to have a significant severe weather outbreak in the states between 7-midnight UK time with tornados, winds over 75 mph and insane sized hail. You probably can't react to them due to copyright of their material, but you MIGHT be able to watch someone like Ryan Hall's coverage or a storm chasers coverage, then say what time frame of their stream your comments relate to. You're not showing their material, ppl would have to watch their stream and sync their stream to your reaction to the parts/time frames. You might learn a few things with Ryan Hall's or the storm chasers comments, but much of the storm chasers streams are spent getting from point A to point B and hoping the storm drops a tornado, or stopping to help beople affected.

It was part of a derecho and the tornado used the buildings being close together as an advantage giving it convergence zones to do more damage
believe it or not .... a tornado knocked over a big tree in my yard but left the mail box standing
It has been 11 years since the last EF5. 2013 Moore, OK.
Watch Ryan Hall Y'all. He is a meteorologist that streams live. This entire week is not gonna be good for us. Lots of tornadoes starting tomorrow.
