5:07 I remember when this happened. Having a meteorologist tell his audience that he is busy checking to see if his wife is getting to the shelter is way more impactful than telling his audience to get to a shelter.
yea cause the audience already knows, theyre watching it. but james spann is a lifesaver and posts every 15-30 mins when it comes to weather but also sometimes its not weather lol
@@Xane_Dragonwhat do you mean only to him? He warned the public. His wife was in the path. Now time to make sure she’s ok. As if he should just ignore that his wife is in the path for the sake of television. He did great
Hahahaha it’s was like “I sure wish you weren’t so dumb!”. It good he loves her enough to hold on tight, tbh being in that situation he’s lucky he managed to hold on at all. Imagine if it was a EF 5, they’d both be screwed.
message to the guy who held on to his wife till the tornado passed!: this is super important and most people don't even know this is a thing. that piece of glass you said you pulled outta your hand days after, have your Dr. keep an eye on it, many tornado victim's actually succumb to various bacterial infections caused by the force of the tornado piercing peoples bodies with glass, wood, metal, pebbles but also animal feathers, bone shards and any or all of it covered in chemicals, human and animal waste, I could go on but you get my point.
the dude who saved his dog is amazing, I would do the same thing for my sweet Buster. Buster is the best dog I know and will always be, sure Buddy passed away, but Buddy is also the best dog. I love dogs
My mom was recently in the path of destruction in Nebraska! She was extremely happy to live after being witness its violent wrath and devastating damages.
The lady with her dogs did the smart thing in finding a ditch to jump into (saved her and her dogs life 100%). If you live in a tornado zone, it would be smart to dig a ditch big enough for your family *pets included*(and maintain it ocassionally) as a "safe place"
@@colty7764we have basements in Nebraska, nobody died because we were warned days in advance that there was a high chance of tornadoes and the tornado sirens went off a couple hours before.
I'm a trucker and years ago I was at a shipper in Texas near the Oklahoma state line when a tornado was coming at us from across hwy 287. I was 120lbs soaking wet but I grabbed my 80lb English bulldog and ran with her in my arms into the concrete block shipper's warehouse. You never leave your best friend behind ❤
I was directly hit by the Adamsville, TN EF3 last year. It took the lives of 9 people, including one of my relatives. I somehow survived, and I can honestly say that you do NOT want to be in the path of a tornado, no matter how small.
Sorry for your loss. Happy you survived. Tornadoes are the most unpredictable weather. I can attest to not wanting to be in the path of one no matter how small. My mom, brother, aunt, and myself got stuck outside during an EF2. We crouched down next to a church on some stairs and held onto the railing as best we could. I was the youngest so they pushed me down and huddled over me. I didn’t have anything to hold onto but was well protected by them. They felt like they were about to be sucked up but thankfully it passed very quickly and they were able to hold on. Everyone survived. We were very lucky. Hand of God working a miracle.
Back in 2003 I was in the path of a tornado in Pasadena, Texas. I was 1 year old in my mom's arms. We were in the kitchen of the long house. It picked up a tree and through it into the living room of the house. We all survived.
I was 18 months old when the tornado bypassed us by about 3 miles. My mom and I were in the basement, and my mom told me later that I was upset about my toys being left in the yard. She had been taking the clothes off the clothesline when she saw the funnel. (Jan Griffiths).

My kids and I were nearly trapped in one of the tornadoes that went through Louisiana and Mississippi last month. We were traveling to see family and the weather got really bad all of a sudden and debris was flying all around us and cracked one of my back windows.I couldn’t see even 5 feet in front of us, I exited off the interstate because I knew a Walmart and Home Depot were on the exit. But something told me not to go near them and to get back on the interstate and just slowly drive as far as I can. I was terrified, my kids were screaming and I told them to bend down and cover their heads. The next 5 minutes we’re some of the scariest in my life, the wind was so strong that my car was rocking back and forth. We made it to the next exit and the wind was so strong and the water was up to the door of my car but carefully and slowly I made it under the covering of a gas station where about 20 cars had the same idea. We made our way inside as fast as we could getting soaked in the seconds it took to get inside. Come to find out a tornado was in the Home Depot parking lot I almost drove to. That day could have gone very differently, whatever told me to get back on the interstate instead of taking cover in the Home Depot or Walmart, very likely saved our lives.
I heard Walmart will not let you shelter in their store, they close it. Saw it on the News the other night. They had to get back in the car and go to a gas station.
I took shelter in a Whataburger freezer. A couple guys were out watching the door because people were trying to come in to hide and the doors were locked so they wouldn't blow open. It was near impossible to shut each time but how do you turn someone down as they're freaking out outside? Not sure I would hide in a Walmart though. I instinctively seek small enclosed areas to hide during storms, like a walk in freezer lol
I remember one time when I was a child in Jacksonville and a tornado hit right down the road it literally went right down the road by our house I remember laying on the floor on the ground floor with a mattress over top of me my mother and my grandmother and I remember trees had come down the sound of a freight train and the aftermath my mother's car was completely destroyed it is an incredibly intense thing to live through
I know how in the second one it said don’t videotape a tornado but if you’re inside and far away from it, but still where you can see it you might want to take a video for a home insurance if your home gets destroyed
May 16th in Houston was crazy , a freight train of wind hit the city , watching it form up on radar live was tense , I could tell it was going to bring tornados , this is one storm to examine for meteorologists.
Ya'll say what you want but major props to anyone who can admit they did something dumb and uses that story to make sure others dont do dumb stuff too, and props to her husband for saving her, im glad theyre both alright
The stupidity of people, especially that woman to just stand in front of a glass door while a tornado is coming is just taking idiocy to the next level.
Forgot to show in 2013 3 Tornado chasers Imax film maker Sean Casey, Driver Herb Stein, and Extreme Meteorologist Brandon Ivey survived a EF-4 Massive violent wedge Tornado inside the custom built Tornado Intercept Vehicle. It's still the most powerful tornado intercept ever done in a vehicle.
@@Fox.White. Reed and new owner of the TIV2 had meet up event there is some video of it about 6 months ago see Reed sitting in the TIV2. Reed said he would trust the TIV2 in a EF-4 or 5. He isn't confident in the dominator said not sure could survive a EF-4/5. TIV2 seems to be better engineering IMO no computers to rely on. Recently intercept Reed said the computer locked up airbags would not drop the dominator down.
I slept through a tornado when I was really drunk in my trailer..slept like a baby and woke up the next morning and most of the trees around me were snapped like toothpicks and alot of damage..damn lucky
It’s part of life unity of people, it’s like saying child birth shouldn’t be part of the list. I get it a lot of people can potentially and probably did die. But there needs to be glimmers of hope for people. If you only focus on death and destruction, something good has to come out of something bad.
I was in a Lowes when a tornado went over, but did not hit the building. It sounded like we were under a RR overpass. Neighborhoods near by were not so fortunate.
1:27 that man's fave during the whole interview! He's trying so hard not to scream I told you so and how she stupidly chuckles about the whole ordeal after he got hurt saving her dumba**🙄
North of Dallas.. I live north of Dallas, 2022 there was a tornado forming ROGHT over my volleyball practice so we took shelter and all.. but it somehow stopped forming and a tornado formed in northern Dallas instead, close to where I live
At timestamp 5:20 when the meteorologist was concerned about his wife this same thing happened on November 6th, 2005 in Henderson Kentucky/Newburgh Indiana and the chief meteorologist asked someone in the studio to call his family and wake them up to seek shelter because the tornado was heading directly towards his home.
Wow. You have to love Erica’s sense of humor and her will power. I don’t know of many people who would have such a positive outlook, let alone humorous one, after losing their house. The fact that she took the time to paint the boots too….she made something tragic become a positive experience for others to smile and laugh. I believe she knows that the most important thing is that she’s alive….and apparently the “witch is dead.”
When I was in college, my classmate, and I were walking across the parking lot just when a F2 tornado hit. There weren't any warnings, nothing, it was a surprise. We didn't have a chance to do anything, before it threw us into a muddy field. We had a lot of bruises, cuts, and scratches, no serious injuries. Someone from the school washed off the mud with a hose, and gave us towels. Paramedics should up, and checked us. We were ok, and school was canceled for the day, so we just drove home. It turned out the tornado showed up, hit us, and broke u, it didn't damage anything else.
For those wondering about the old tip of getting under an overpass, the massive F5(They were still called Fs at that point. This one caused them to overhaul it to the EF scale system we use today) tornado that hit my state of Oklahoma, Moore, OK to be specific, on May 3, 1999 showed that this could no longer be the case. A good chunk of the 44 fatalities were caused under the overpasses due to the small area creating a wind tunnel of sorts and would blast people out of the shelter
That advice at the end is great for most tornadoes but nothing and nowhere above ground is going to save you with an EF4 or EF5. Your house will be reduced to dust, only place to go is underground.
People on the road take storms for granted and then if it's a tornado, they get tossed and some poor sap has got to come dig them out and that's if they survived. I was helping my sister and we were in a U-Haul truck when a thunderstorm quickly developed. There was green in the sky and pea sized hail. We were sitting in the truck near my mother's because the rain and wind was so intense she couldn't see. I told my sister "This might be tornadic, we need to get to mom's!". When there was another little break in the wind & rain/hail, I said "now, we need to make it there now. We don't want to be in this truck if a tornado comes through here". She started driving and then the tornado sirens started going. I admit, the situation was tense, but we made it and was safe.
Thank you for the valuable information you provided in this video. Blessings to you, and everyone and their families who were "affected" by these events! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️💐
Parents who have lost a child do not need scolding, reiterating the dangers and how do you need to keep your eye on your child I'm sure they're good parents. You have no idea if that child doesn't make it the guilt they're already going to feel so just wish them well and save your comments for somewhere that its needed. I can only speak for myself but I go to bed at night wondering what I could have done differently and I wake up to wondering what I could have done differently as well as bed at night wondering what I could have done differently and I wake up to wondering what I could have done differently as well. Then try to have some kind of normalcy and be present in my son and granddaughtes lives.
"We arent in Kansas anymore" Is such an adorable little way to make the best out of a bad situation. Runners up: "There's NO place like home." "We wanted to see the wizard" or my personal favorite "Accidentally painted our bricks yellow. Wont be doing that again!"
We had one here in luxembourg a few years ago and it's VERY VERY rare to have a tornado in uxembourg. I think it was the 2. or 3. tornado ever recorded in luxembourg. But it was strongest and one old woman waited at a bus stop at the time where the tornado hit. She barely could hold her on a pole and survived, she only had a broken leg. Thankfully the tornado only was in the south so our house wasn't hit.
Been in three myself, chased down I-75 coming home from vacation in Michigan, one went down my street in Dearborn in 1978, and one other chased me in Talor, Michigan on the main road. I had my three. As the saying goes, missed me by "THAT MUCH".

That advice at the end is great for most tornadoes but nothing and nowhere above ground is going to save you with an EF4 or EF5. Your house will be reduced to dust, only place to go is underground.
People on the road take storms for granted and then if it's a tornado, they get tossed and some poor sap has got to come dig them out and that's if they survived. I was helping my sister and we were in a U-Haul truck when a thunderstorm quickly developed.
There was green in the sky and pea sized hail. We were sitting in the truck near my mother's because the rain and wind was so intense she couldn't see. I told my sister "This might be tornadic, we need to get to mom's!".
When there was another little break in the wind & rain/hail, I said "now, we need to make it there now. We don't want to be in this truck if a tornado comes through here". She started driving and then the tornado sirens started going. I admit, the situation was tense, but we made it and was safe.
10:03 I live in Pascagoula and whenever this tornado hit most of our town was destroyed and we never knew it was coming 😢
Thank you for the valuable information you provided in this video. Blessings to you, and everyone and their families who were "affected" by these events! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️💐
0:37 bro I barely see the tornado
Parents who have lost a child do not need scolding, reiterating the dangers and how do you need to keep your eye on your child I'm sure they're good parents. You have no idea if that child doesn't make it the guilt they're already going to feel so just wish them well and save your comments for somewhere that its needed. I can only speak for myself but I go to bed at night wondering what I could have done differently and I wake up to wondering what I could have done differently as well as bed at night wondering what I could have done differently and I wake up to wondering what I could have done differently as well. Then try to have some kind of normalcy and be present in my son and granddaughtes lives.
one of the few comments on here i respect, nice wording sir/maam/person
14:13 Why isn’t it called a “firenado”?
James span is awesome.He is the best meteorologist in the us
the singing one 😂😂 I'd rather screaming and panic I think
This is so scary
"We arent in Kansas anymore" Is such an adorable little way to make the best out of a bad situation. Runners up: "There's NO place like home." "We wanted to see the wizard" or my personal favorite "Accidentally painted our bricks yellow. Wont be doing that again!"
I loved that couple in the store with the husband hanging on to his wife being pulled out of the door.❤
No way I literally just watched something like this
We had one here in luxembourg a few years ago and it's VERY VERY rare to have a tornado in uxembourg. I think it was the 2. or 3. tornado ever recorded in luxembourg. But it was strongest and one old woman waited at a bus stop at the time where the tornado hit. She barely could hold her on a pole and survived, she only had a broken leg. Thankfully the tornado only was in the south so our house wasn't hit.
She almost got that man killed 😞
That engagement is the sickness! I absolutely would say yes too! So cool! Both engagements!
Only a couple of these people were directly in a tornado.Most of it was just wind from the storm.
imagining the last moment of yourself hearing a choir sing a song before being destroyed by a tornado seems kind of scary to imagine
if a tornado is not moving, it means it's moving towards you.
Jacksonville State University "ALABAMA" NOT FLORIDA

Rip To Anyone Who Died Atleast There In a Better Place Now

Been in three myself, chased down I-75 coming home from vacation in Michigan, one went down my street in Dearborn in 1978, and one other chased me in Talor, Michigan on the main road. I had my three. As the saying goes, missed me by "THAT MUCH".
