I'm so glad there's a community out there obsessed with tornados... So many of us 90s kids growing up on Twister, Night of the Twisters and all those home movies compilation VHS tapes. Love this channel, one of the very very few I actually have set up to notify me when a video drops.
I hope people will start using camcorders and actual cameras again. Then we could get really good footage of tornados, even from far away. And if someone isn't far away, we could get really close up views of what's going on! Edit: I just got to 14:48 in the video. 😂
It's odd because I remember growing up being into weather, meteorology, and tornadoes was seen as some obscure nerd hobby like Amateur radio. Now within the past 2 years on TH-cam and other social media sites there are entire communities that discuss it day in and day out.
I just wanna say that your channel is literally PERFECT for my autism. nowhere else can i find this obscure brain-scratching information about tornadoes that's presented in an entertaining and easy to understand way. I love tornadoes so much and find them so fascinating and I'm glad there's a whole community of people who agree!
LOL I'm autistic too!!!!! I have Asperger's!!! What is with us and being obsessed with STEAM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Art, Math) related things?? 😂😂😂 we're so inherently nerdy!!
I’m so happy this channel exists. When I was a little kid, I was obsessed with tornados, asking what they did to various objects, and no one really ever gave me much info. This channel is the “grown up actually sits down and talks to me” moment that I needed all those years ago, and I really appreciate it. You definitely deserve those 50K subs and way more.
Man you are so relatable, when i was a kid i had hundred of printed wikipedia pages about tornadoes and hurricanes thanks to my dad (we didn't have an internet connection at home) but it always saddened me how almost everyone around me completely ignoring the topic at the point of denying the presence of tornadoes in Italy
This guy doesn’t get the views he deserves. So well researched in all his videos. Great chill environment. Joplin survivor here the was he gently addressing hard subjects. I’ve been obsessed with tornadoes since I was a kid in Texas.
I actually just went up to Joplin today to take my girlfriend out to eat. It's crazy still how entire sections of the town look brand new because almost all the businesses and homes had to be rebuilt. I'll tell you this though, as someone who lived in Southwest Missouri in 2011, that tornado didn't hurt just Joplin. It devastated the entire area because Joplin was the primary place a lot of the people in smaller towns worked, went grocery shopping, did fun stuff etc. I'm not sure I have data to back it up, but it caused a lot of people, including my family, to have to move away from our smaller towns to find work elsewhere as well as just have a new center for commerce and fun. It was really sad.
I was born in Joplin and lived in Neosho until I was 9. Then, we moved into James Spann territory in northeast Alabama. I was in my 20's before I realized tornadoes are not just a part of everyday life for everyone.
Hello I have autism and I wanted to say I have recently developed a hyper fixation on natural disasters, specifically tornados. Your channel makes me very happy and this video made me happy
I live in Dixie Alley and we were struck by an EF-3 at 4a.m. about 11 years ago. I don’t recall hearing the roar of the wind but I could hear the most minuscule sounds intensely. I heard windows breaking upstairs, I could hear debris hitting our basement windows, I heard the garage doors creaking before they crumpled, I heard a door slam after a window broke, and I heard trees falling onto and into the house. I also looked at the garage door once and it looked like some weird Tim Burton claymation movie. The lightning was like a strobe light, leaves and small rocks were moving across the windows in a jerky motion, and since the power had gone out, there was a stark discontinuity between the short periods of darkness and the bright flashes. I wish I had focused beyond the surface of the windows because I believe that I was observing debris flying around outside the house but I never focused on it because I was transfixed on the odd show on the window.
i live in florida and it’s super scary when a hurricane is happening and then you start to hear even more noise randomly, because you don’t know if it just got worse or if that’s a tornado coming straight at you
I can confirm the "sounds like a train" thing is totally real. I don't remember my first hit by a tornado as I was 4 years old other than the massive winds, but as an adult an EF2 has just dissipated a few miles before coming my way, and a new EF1 tornado had formed right on top of me and finally touched down a quarter mile away across the highway and moved for a couple miles, flipping over some cars. As you said I had no chance of seeing the tornado except my TV broadcast going out just minutes before arrival and the swirling vortex above me moving to form touch down had this low, loud, roar that can only be described as a fast locomotive passing by.
We had several go over when I was young, but I never heard the sound. I moved to another state, and then a big one missed us by a few blocks. I definitely heard it then!
yes!! i wasn’t in a tornado, but i recently was in a category 4 hurricane (the wind speeds were around 155 mph) and it sounds like a train or a large semi truck is driving by.. tornados can form during a hurricane so it could’ve been tornados forming outside of my house but it is very terrifying to sit through.
Had an unconfirmed tornado/straight line wind pass less than 10 minutes south of our house. I remember hearing the roar from the deck. I remember going out with my step dad to help friends in the path clean up damage after it passed. More than a single train, it sounds like several, or an absolutely monster, heavy train!
I've been in 3 tornadoes and I have never heard the train sound everyone talks about. It always sounded more like the low rumbling growl of a large monster than a train to me. Even the 4/27/11 Hackleburg AL EF5 sounded like a monster to most of the people I've talked to(I lived there). Trains sound higher pitched to me than a tornado.
April 2011 survivor here! It’s funny I’m even so interested in tornados still considering the worst storm trauma of my life was from that fateful day of April 17th. I lived in lower Tennessee so yeah right in the middle of it. I haven’t been able to hear of a tornado even being possible without freaking out. You did a nice little explanation on it! It’s hard for some others to understand how terrifying it truly was.
I did a school project many years ago on Greensberg and their post-tornado rebuilding plan! They saw the horrific destruction as an opportunity to completely rebuild the town to be sustainable. It's a little sad that it's never talked about, but their plan was to have a walkable town with a bunch of LEED buildings that have businesses that are specifically useful and sustainable for the people living in the town. The whole master plan is available publicly online and I think it's very cool :)
I was in Cullman for the 2011 outbreak. The big one went right behind my house and seriously injured one of the neighbors. The abiding memory of that day was how dry it was. It didn't rain at all the entire time. Also, we basically missed the entire second half of school that year because we had a huge snow in February, spring break, and then tornadoes tore the county apart.
One thing i'll add is here in New Orleans/Louisiana we can't have basements because we're below sea level. We've been getting more and more tornadoes as the years go on and there's nowhere to really retreat for most civilians unfortunately. We recently had an EF3 cross the Mississippi River from the West Bank into downtown and it killed tens of people. Of course it happened at night
I grew up in North Carolina in the 90s. I was a weather nerd child and remember the Jarell Tornado being a big deal but for whatever reason, maybe cause I'm more of a hurricane nerd, I didn't really know much about it other than that it was bad. Now, I'm a NWS meteorologist in Houston, TX and have been doing a lot of severe weather and radar training which has lead me to look at famous tornadoes in more detail. The Jarell tornado has recently become an obsession of mine. It is such a weird and terrifying tornado. Great idea for a case study video if you haven't done one already.
This is a great story. I grew up in Texas and moved to North Carolina in 1996. I moved from Salado to Raleigh just before the Jarell tornado hit and remember thinking how mad I was that I missed it(logic of a 9 yo mind lol). Little did I know that I was in nc just in time for Hurricane Fran which devastated nc from Raleigh to the coast. 2 weeks without power and everything was flooded including my school so we were out of school for weeks. I lived in Cary NC in 2011 and remember the 2011 tornado outbreak. We had friends staying with us when the storm hit and it was a pretty fun experience in the end. I worked for a small construction company at the time and we stopped building the addition we were working on and spent the next week cutting trees off peoples homes at no cost. I remember how dedicated my boss was to volunteering for the community in a time of need. In 2017 I moved to Morehead City only to be smashed by hurricane Florence a year later. We evacuated to Raleigh for 3 days and returned to a tree across our house and garage and our property was under about a foot of water. That sucked. It was hot and there was no power at our house for 4 weeks because of the extensive damage in our neighborhood. Now I live in central Texas again and I have 4 kids of my own and I dread the tornado sirens.
Tornadoes are so incredibly scary, yet so interesting at the same time. I live near the upper edge of Tornado Alley, but thankfully have never directly seen any tornadoes. Had plenty of times where my family had to high-tail it to our basement, though, and one time where I saw the sky actually look green from the hail of a tornado starting to form a town or two away. Excited for part 2! And congrats on 50 (almost 60)k subs!
Thanks so much for watching! It's weird how the scariest stuff tends to be the most interesting (at least for me).. Probably some weird psychology thing.
That green sky thing is definitely eerie. I remember my neighborhood specifically got hit by a tornado, and just before we went downstairs there was this green haze everywhere outside my window. I'll never forget that strange color. Thankfully, our house only received minor damage, but just 4 or 5 houses down one had its entire attic ripped off and further down one house was almost leveled.
The last one I watched form went really dark in one spot then moved away. seen grean clouds with hail also. I watched one form in my dorm room one day back in college looked like a goose egg so I kept a eye on it for a few minutes asked my room mate for confirmation on what I was seeing and about 5 minutes latter the sirens started going off so knowing ware it was we started making our way over to the shelter bout the time we walked over it dropped don't think it did much other than got everyone a little walk in
I live in West Tennessee, and most of our tornadoes come at night. It's frightening to not know where it is coming from & you don't want to be asleep & not prepared. Thank you for the video! New sub!
Glad I've stumbled across your channel a few months back, today I was able to meet a Chief Meteorologist for a seminar class. He was hella cool to meet, and only furthered my interest for meteorology.
I find it kinda cool that we have this super chill and soft-spoken dude who is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and uploads content about some of the most loud, powerful, and violent weather phenomena on Earth.
I was born in Alabama and grew up watching James Spann, even lived through the April 1998 Jefferson County tornado (Rock Creek). Then from age 12 to now I have lived in Indiana. Thank you for making this channel because apparently - if you hadn't - I would have had to, lol. Also, Hoosier is pronounced "hooz-yer." While no one officially knows the origin, almost everyone pronounces it as though they are quickly/informally saying "who's your" with the classic Midwest accent.
Hey swegle, just wanna let you know, I really appreciate your time and effort into your videos! I love them and they are very educational on to forgotten tornadoes.
Part 2 th-cam.com/video/oTzkJPkFw_c/w-d-xo.html Also be sure to leave suggestions for the future (enhanced) tornado iceberg in the comments below! Thanks for watching!
You need to cover Steve Green, he is a former nascar driver that first built a vehicle to drive into a Tornado. He built the Tornado attack vehicle and drove into a twister before Sean or Reed did, not a lot people know about him
i love that you have james spann corresponding to different levels of the iceberg. just perfect lol. "RESPECT THE POLYGON!" loved this, especially being a tornado nerd myself. ever since i chose to do a presentation in 6th grade on tornadoes i've been hooked
Just found your channel about a week ago. i've been obsessed with (but absolutely terrified of) tornadoes since i was a child. it makes me so happy that there are so many people as obsessed with them as i am. can't wait to see your channel blow up!
Your channel is helping me get over the a fear of tornadoes that I’ve had my whole life, but now I think it’s safe to say it’s now turned into a fascination
I recommend you look up Pecos Hank here on TH-cam; not only does he have some incredible footage of tornadoes but he's got some really good stuff on the science of tornadoes too.
I always find it interesting how two people filmed the washington il tornado as it smashed into their houses, no one ever talks about those :( theyre intense vids also another important thing about the Jarrell tornado is that it moved so slow that the damage done was more than we've seen in most places.. everyone died unless they were underground
Wow! SO much material, ALL of it fascinating. I anxiously await part 2. Speaking from experience, I was in the 4th grade on April 3, 1974, the day of the Xenia tornado. I lived and grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio, which borders Xenia to the west. That tornado literally flew over us and touched down there. I remember when my mom drove me through there a couple weeks later. It literally looked like a war zone. My history teacher in 8th grade survived it and told us so many stories about his experiences, amazing stuff! I’ve told you before, I’m a truck driver (owner-op) and I drove through Greensburg, KS shortly after and then subsequently many times during the next few years, watching it slowly rebuild over time. Those people are resilient for sure! Same with Joplin. The Flying J truck stop was leveled in that storm and has since been rebuilt. A more iconic truck stop, the Joplin Petro, owned by the same people who own the Iowa 80 and it is built very similar to the Iowa 80 (the world’s largest truck stop) with iconic trucks and chrome shop in a spectacular show room display, thankfully was spared. Once again, awesome research on your part, I SO appreciate you. Congrats on the 50k subs, you deserve it! 👍👍
People that grow up in Dixie Alley are always told things like "they sound like freight trains" "you'll hear it before you see it" So it makes sense now with your input on it being a more hilly region
I stumbled across your channel a few months ago and never knew how interesting tornados were. I’m glad the algorithm gods recommended this channel to me because I’ve never even watched tornado content before. Your videos or always so chill and have a great vibe.
im from western mass and tornadoes are so fascinating to me because my city of springfield was one of the few that has been hit by a tornado in new england in 2010. the path destroyed our local catholic preschool and high school (very specific). 3 people were killed, a surprisingly low number for how dense my city is. however, we (obviously) lost power and i remember 9 year old me watching the sky turn orange and deep purple throughout the night. it was one of the most fascinating moments in my life and sparked my love for storms
Hey, first off, congrats on 50k. You definitely deserve it. Couple things for part 2... I don't believe I heard anything about Dr. Forbes and Jim Cantore in this part. Idk bout others but them 2 were a massive part of me growing up with severe weather. Also the 96 f5 Oakfield wi tornado would be cool to see. That was the first tornado I remember seeing in person. It's what got me interested to start with.
Jim Cantore has been around so long! I remember seeing him when I was a kid.. And now he's still here through everything again. I know hurricanes are horrible, but I honestly always loved watching Jim Cantore do his wind test, and stand out in the highest winds he could standing to show us all how powerful it was. I really commend him!
Can definitely agree with the Dixie Alley, " You hear it before you see it." I have had the 'lovely' experience of camping when a tornado came by. Heard some wind, but I thought it was just a little worse than a normal storm. Never saw the funnel, but I sure saw the damage it caused when I left the campground a few days later.
I said it once and I'll say it it again. Underrated channel. I'm transferring schools to study meteorology and this video made me happy (especially seeing that we both own Twister on VHS). My first ever tornado movie was 1996 Tornado! I would always rent it at the video store, and I finally own it today. Not the best, but I definitely put it in the Holy Trinity of tornado films (along with Twister and Night of the Twisters)
u know, im more of a neuroscisnce nerd myself, but this channel is addictive af. amazing videos man . well researched and well explained. youtube needs more content creators like you !
I just started watching your channel yesterday and you already have me completely hooked. Your editing is very nice and easy to follow and I love your videos a lot. They teach me so much about tornadoes :) thank you so much and keep up the great work
i love your videos, and as someone who was born in early 2000s in oklahoma, lived in moor and norman for many years, and still live in oklahoma. i've had first hand experiences that i'm surprised i even remember. and your videos bring back those memories and that adrenaline. you make your content is very well made and capturing. you do a lot of great research and your channel is so underrated.
If you ever make an enhanced version you should mention the double funnel photo from the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak since it's fairly iconic, and the outbreak itself. Dunlap, Indiana was actually hit by two F4s that day.
Very fascinating video and very well put together. I live in the UK so I'm very lucky to have never experienced a tornado due to where I live. I think in a way that makes them more fascinating and mystical to me, they almost feel like something alien haha. So I love watching videos on your channel and learning more about them. 🌪
I didn’t know a tornado emergency was rare until today. 5 days ago i got an tornado emergency. I hate storms and even the sound of rain so I like to learn as much of my fears as possible so I appreciate this.
I’m just finding your channel yesterday and have been watching non stop. I watched a single tornado video then my recommendations are filled with nothing but tornado content. I’m a firefighter in NJ and we really don’t see tornados, but we had one a year and a half ago by my area in Gloucester County. We went to a small older town to help them open up and do rescue efforts and it looked like a warzone. I wanna go out and to the alley and find them now. Looking forward to more content!
Hey Jacob, please do a video about amateur radio operators who serve as trained storm spotters for the NWS and state/local EMA. I served as one and later a coordinator. The mission was "Observe and report." The goal was ground truth information below the horizon of NEXRADs. I spent 20 years in that field.
I was surprised he didn't mention the pivotal role that storm spotters/storm chasers play in saving lives, both by being the “eyes in the field” for the meteorologists in the studio, but also by the data that they collect. The National Weather Service offers “Storm Spotter Training Courses” every year, & I attended the class in Topeka (Kansas) several years ago, having got my interest in meteorology from my dad, whose nickname is “Doppler Dean”.
Excellent tornado content! Ever considered doing a series of deep dive videos on particularly significant tornados (kinda like what Kyle Hill does with his Half Life History series about significant radiation disasters)? I think you'd be great at it!
Your channel is so important. Explaining tornado “parts” as an iceberg is brilliant. You take terms like hook echo and perfectly describe what it means. Very interesting. Even the more familiar terms have been simplified. Thank you.
Watching this the day after Rolling Fork, MS was hit. I’m afraid our no F5 streak might be over. Great job on the video! That 1999 Moore footage still gives me chills.
I feel you on the tornado nerd part. I'm so obsessed with tornadoes that I'm going to college to try and become a weather warning coordinator for the national weather service! I even met the lead weather coordinator for my area recently while attending the SKYWARN Volunteer Training earlier this year. Whenever we have bad weather in my area, I'm always the first one to raise the alarm to my classmates, professors, friends, and family members. ...My family still laughs at me over that one time I spotted rotation.
I was actually pretty surprised to recently find out that some people actually don't know the difference between tornadoes and hurricanes! The topic of waterspouts got brought up and it turns out they thought that hurricanes were actually just large tornadoes over water ahaha
I was in the 2011 super outbreak, I was 3 at the time any my family went to go and pick my older brother up from school. My Father told me as we were leaving, the trees were tipping and breaking and the car was shaking. Turns out, an EF1 or 2 tornado went over really close to our car! These vids are great and I’m glad you cover this stuff.
I wish this channel was around when I was obsessed with tornadoes back when I was a kid! I would’ve loved it so much! You’ve earned another sub! You’ve reignited that feeling again!
I remember the tornado outbreak when I was a kid in 2005. Evansville IN got hit hard. Made me terribly scared of tornadoes. Woke up early enough to call my grandma and she took shelter. It happened really early in the morning, like midnight to 3am.
In 2021, we had an ef2 tornado touch down a street away from me. Less than a 1/4 miles from us. My best friend had it touch down in his back yard, we were both completely unaware of it. We only noticed when we heard it. It completely obliterated a couple of houses behind my best friends place. It was honestly terrifying because living in southwest Louisiana, we don't have common storm shelters or basements. The typical thing is to evacuate for hurricanes and such. Love your channel and the information you provide.
This is so amazing love learning more about Tornadoes and thinking back to all those times I would go back to sleep after being woken up during a Tornado Watch. Thankfully none of those tornadoes have touched down near where I live.
1996 Twister was an iconic movie for me growing up in the 2000's. It's such a great movie that I even come back to occasionally today. It still holds up to nostalgia.
Thanks to channels like yours and Carly Anna’s, I already knew about most of these things. Looking forward to checking out the next one! I agree, tornadoes are scariest at night. Twice in my childhood, my mom woke me up and got me out of bed, telling me we had to get into the basement. And twice, I sat with my family in our basement, watching the weather, and feeling sure that we were going to die (the tornadoes never even got close to my town, but still). Even recently, in 2022, an emergency alert on my phone woke me up to a tornado warning in my area. They’re scary enough during the day, but at night…whole other ball game.
Came here just to say, I knew I had heard of the “tornado emergency” alert from somewhere and figured out it was from this video. I knew it was somewhere on your channel. I was in a tornado emergency last night, scariest thing I’ve ever been through and I wasn’t even hit with the worst of it. But your channel went from “morbid fascination of mine” since I live in a tornado prone area, I’m scared of them but also fascinated, to “oh my god wait I’ve actually heard of this this is bad” and helping me get a grasp on an actual situation. Thanks for your videos!
Very glad a youtuber like you specialized in tornadoes. Got really tired of the reality show-esque storm chaser shows. Also growing up in the 90's you either had to get lucky on PBS, Real TV happened to have a segment on a tornado, or your own local news station (not ideal).
Twister is an amazing movie! I was obsessed with tornadoes when I was very young and the movie is always a treat to go back to! I also am into the sirens nowadays
3:55 2000s guy here! Yeah, I love this movie! So far, it's one of, if not, my favorite WB movie (my childhood didn't have much new stuff; lot of hand-me-downs).
Part of my house was destroyed in Joplin. I was 10 at the time but I remember it very very well. It truly sounds like a roaring engine. It's both terrifying and mesmerizing, I still look at footage to this day.
Man I really can’t explain why, but this narration and editing is always so relaxing but attention/grabbing; even when talking about deadly tornadoes with eerie music.
I live in Missouri myself, and had a friend in Joplin at the time. He still gets scared when thunderstorms form, he saw a school be ripped to pieces. My mom went up there and saw the aftermath, it's horrible - but people in Joplin are fuckin' amazing and banded together, not letting it get the better of them. It's amazing to go up there and see what was once in ruin
I’m in my 30s and Twister made my childhood. I’m also from Texas, so I really thought this was my life 😂😂 I was delusional but it has made me a tornado lover for life. Thanks for the great videos!
Wills story is wild - he and his dad were driving home and he got sucked out, they mentioned him missing that night and the sirens went off as if he wasn’t supposed to be talked about, and the scariest part was how little we cared about cutting trees at the time. The branches were so wild you couldn’t see anything around you other than flashes of lightning every once and a while, ugggh that whole day was wild and it just showed up out of nowhere, there was a Royals game happening, so much
As a resident of Alabama, I appreciate how much you view Alabama and how destructive tornadoes are here. Most TH-camrs I’ve seen seem to only focus on out west. I’ve seen a lot of tornadoes here, most memorable one I saw was the Cullman tornado on April 27, 2011.
Yeah! We have one of the worst/most tornadoes. Just a few days ago we had a tornado.. in freaking December. This happened last year too lol our weather truly is on crack
@@yippeefarts fellow Alabamian. Yeah we did have a tornado the other day. Seems Tennessee had the worst of it though sadly with that one tornado in Hendersonville I believe it was. Out west for sure has a lot of tornadoes I've been and seen them. I just think Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee deserve to be included in tornado alley tbh. We get a lot !
Its been so long since I've sat down and watched a vid about tornados. I remember being obsessed with them as a kid. Crazy enough to want to see one in person
Oh my gosh I love learning about tornadoes and I’ve been super interested in them since watching storm chasers on tv and seeing how crazy cool they are.
I'm so glad there's a community out there obsessed with tornados... So many of us 90s kids growing up on Twister, Night of the Twisters and all those home movies compilation VHS tapes. Love this channel, one of the very very few I actually have set up to notify me when a video drops.
I hope people will start using camcorders and actual cameras again. Then we could get really good footage of tornados, even from far away. And if someone isn't far away, we could get really close up views of what's going on!
Edit: I just got to 14:48 in the video. 😂
90s: tornado movies. 2013: real strong tornado.
It's odd because I remember growing up being into weather, meteorology, and tornadoes was seen as some obscure nerd hobby like Amateur radio. Now within the past 2 years on TH-cam and other social media sites there are entire communities that discuss it day in and day out.
night of the twisters HOLY FUCKKKKK THAT BOOK❤
I *still* watch Twister routinely with my kids ❤️😆
I just wanna say that your channel is literally PERFECT for my autism. nowhere else can i find this obscure brain-scratching information about tornadoes that's presented in an entertaining and easy to understand way.

are you a clone of me? because i’ve had that same obsession with tornadoes. although i started to gradually stray away from the topic until recently.

I actually just went up to Joplin today to take my girlfriend out to eat. It's crazy still how entire sections of the town look brand new because almost all the businesses and homes had to be rebuilt. I'll tell you this though, as someone who lived in Southwest Missouri in 2011, that tornado didn't hurt just Joplin. It devastated the entire area because Joplin was the primary place a lot of the people in smaller towns worked, went grocery shopping, did fun stuff etc. I'm not sure I have data to back it up, but it caused a lot of people, including my family, to have to move away from our smaller towns to find work elsewhere as well as just have a new center for commerce and fun. It was really sad.
That's true! Sometimes I forget about the smaller satellite towns that depend on Joplin. That is very sad though.
Yea I lived in Nevada Mo at the time, moved shortly after but not for that reason!😂
@@m1xabl3 I lived in Anderson about 20 minutes south of Joplin. I kinda miss the small town life, not gonna lie.
I was born in Joplin and lived in Neosho until I was 9. Then, we moved into James Spann territory in northeast Alabama.
I was in my 20's before I realized tornadoes are not just a part of everyday life for everyone.
I used to live in Branson and remember that tornado and also the one that tore Branson up awhile ago
Hello I have autism and I wanted to say I have recently developed a hyper fixation on natural disasters, specifically tornados. Your channel makes me very happy and this video made me happy
I live in Dixie Alley and we were struck by an EF-3 at 4a.m. about 11 years ago. I don’t recall hearing the roar of the wind but I could hear the most minuscule sounds intensely. I heard windows breaking upstairs, I could hear debris hitting our basement windows, I heard the garage doors creaking before they crumpled, I heard a door slam after a window broke, and I heard trees falling onto and into the house. I also looked at the garage door once and it looked like some weird Tim Burton claymation movie. The lightning was like a strobe light, leaves and small rocks were moving across the windows in a jerky motion, and since the power had gone out, there was a stark discontinuity between the short periods of darkness and the bright flashes. I wish I had focused beyond the surface of the windows because I believe that I was observing debris flying around outside the house but I never focused on it because I was transfixed on the odd show on the window.
Wow that sounds terrifying. Im glad you made it out okay!.. You're a great writer btw.
@@SwegleStudios I was just thinking the exact same thing! I know a great writer when I see one, and this guy definitely has “it.”
Thx for this cool A.I.story, 😊
@@saschaberger7201 unfortunately the dead were real.

i live in florida and it’s super scary when a hurricane is happening and then you start to hear even more noise randomly, because you don’t know if it just got worse or if that’s a tornado coming straight at you
Jesus loves you
hurricanes they had peak 1950- early 1960's since then hurricanes are on a downward trend currently its well below start 1960
Comment aged scary
I can confirm the "sounds like a train" thing is totally real. I don't remember my first hit by a tornado as I was 4 years old other than the massive winds, but as an adult an EF2 has just dissipated a few miles before coming my way, and a new EF1 tornado had formed right on top of me and finally touched down a quarter mile away across the highway and moved for a couple miles, flipping over some cars.
As you said I had no chance of seeing the tornado except my TV broadcast going out just minutes before arrival and the swirling vortex above me moving to form touch down had this low, loud, roar that can only be described as a fast locomotive passing by.
We had several go over when I was young, but I never heard the sound. I moved to another state, and then a big one missed us by a few blocks. I definitely heard it then!
yes!! i wasn’t in a tornado, but i recently was in a category 4 hurricane (the wind speeds were around 155 mph) and it sounds like a train or a large semi truck is driving by.. tornados can form during a hurricane so it could’ve been tornados forming outside of my house but it is very terrifying to sit through.
@@cutecelgf I’ve been in hurricanes, and they’re pretty scary, too. I never stayed for one over category 1, though.
Had an unconfirmed tornado/straight line wind pass less than 10 minutes south of our house. I remember hearing the roar from the deck. I remember going out with my step dad to help friends in the path clean up damage after it passed. More than a single train, it sounds like several, or an absolutely monster, heavy train!
I've been in 3 tornadoes and I have never heard the train sound everyone talks about. It always sounded more like the low rumbling growl of a large monster than a train to me. Even the 4/27/11 Hackleburg AL EF5 sounded like a monster to most of the people I've talked to(I lived there).
Trains sound higher pitched to me than a tornado.
April 2011 survivor here! It’s funny I’m even so interested in tornados still considering the worst storm trauma of my life was from that fateful day of April 17th. I lived in lower Tennessee so yeah right in the middle of it. I haven’t been able to hear of a tornado even being possible without freaking out. You did a nice little explanation on it! It’s hard for some others to understand how terrifying it truly was.
Meant the 27th haha

I did a school project many years ago on Greensberg and their post-tornado rebuilding plan! They saw the horrific destruction as an opportunity to completely rebuild the town to be sustainable. It's a little sad that it's never talked about, but their plan was to have a walkable town with a bunch of LEED buildings that have businesses that are specifically useful and sustainable for the people living in the town. The whole master plan is available publicly online and I think it's very cool :)
Was looking for this comment! I remember they announced the plans when I was in 5th grade and was super hyped about it, lol.
I’d be more interested in public storm shelters. Sustainable energy efficient buildings and homes means nothing if a tornado wipes it all out.
@@feoltmanns7624that just means that they get to try again
That's so cool! What a beatiful way to grow from something so horrific
I was in Cullman for the 2011 outbreak. The big one went right behind my house and seriously injured one of the neighbors. The abiding memory of that day was how dry it was. It didn't rain at all the entire time. Also, we basically missed the entire second half of school that year because we had a huge snow in February, spring break, and then tornadoes tore the county apart.
My yearly tornado obsession is coming back and this video came at the perfect time! Thank you!!!
haha no problem.. My obsession always strengthens around the beginning or tornado season
One thing i'll add is here in New Orleans/Louisiana we can't have basements because we're below sea level. We've been getting more and more tornadoes as the years go on and there's nowhere to really retreat for most civilians unfortunately.
We recently had an EF3 cross the Mississippi River from the West Bank into downtown and it killed tens of people. Of course it happened at night
I grew up in North Carolina in the 90s. I was a weather nerd child and remember the Jarell Tornado being a big deal but for whatever reason, maybe cause I'm more of a hurricane nerd, I didn't really know much about it other than that it was bad. Now, I'm a NWS meteorologist in Houston, TX and have been doing a lot of severe weather and radar training which has lead me to look at famous tornadoes in more detail. The Jarell tornado has recently become an obsession of mine. It is such a weird and terrifying tornado. Great idea for a case study video if you haven't done one already.
This is a great story. I grew up in Texas and moved to North Carolina in 1996. I moved from Salado to Raleigh just before the Jarell tornado hit and remember thinking how mad I was that I missed it(logic of a 9 yo mind lol). Little did I know that I was in nc just in time for Hurricane Fran which devastated nc from Raleigh to the coast. 2 weeks without power and everything was flooded including my school so we were out of school for weeks. I lived in Cary NC in 2011 and remember the 2011 tornado outbreak. We had friends staying with us when the storm hit and it was a pretty fun experience in the end. I worked for a small construction company at the time and we stopped building the addition we were working on and spent the next week cutting trees off peoples homes at no cost. I remember how dedicated my boss was to volunteering for the community in a time of need. In 2017 I moved to Morehead City only to be smashed by hurricane Florence a year later. We evacuated to Raleigh for 3 days and returned to a tree across our house and garage and our property was under about a foot of water. That sucked. It was hot and there was no power at our house for 4 weeks because of the extensive damage in our neighborhood. Now I live in central Texas again and I have 4 kids of my own and I dread the tornado sirens.
As a joplin resident and someone who went threw the tornado and has seen the town come back I love how much you cover and talk about it
Tornadoes are so incredibly scary, yet so interesting at the same time. I live near the upper edge of Tornado Alley, but thankfully have never directly seen any tornadoes. Had plenty of times where my family had to high-tail it to our basement, though, and one time where I saw the sky actually look green from the hail of a tornado starting to form a town or two away. Excited for part 2! And congrats on 50 (almost 60)k subs!
Thanks so much for watching! It's weird how the scariest stuff tends to be the most interesting (at least for me).. Probably some weird psychology thing.
That green sky thing is definitely eerie. I remember my neighborhood specifically got hit by a tornado, and just before we went downstairs there was this green haze everywhere outside my window. I'll never forget that strange color. Thankfully, our house only received minor damage, but just 4 or 5 houses down one had its entire attic ripped off and further down one house was almost leveled.
@@sportblort1021 Oh, wow. Glad you and your family were okay!
Get out of there asap
The last one I watched form went really dark in one spot then moved away. seen grean clouds with hail also. I watched one form in my dorm room one day back in college looked like a goose egg so I kept a eye on it for a few minutes asked my room mate for confirmation on what I was seeing and about 5 minutes latter the sirens started going off so knowing ware it was we started making our way over to the shelter bout the time we walked over it dropped don't think it did much other than got everyone a little walk in
I live in West Tennessee, and most of our tornadoes come at night. It's frightening to not know where it is coming from & you don't want to be asleep & not prepared. Thank you for the video! New sub!
Glad I've stumbled across your channel a few months back, today I was able to meet a Chief Meteorologist for a seminar class. He was hella cool to meet, and only furthered my interest for meteorology.
Nicee
it is time to layoff a few beans
That's right gotta love those geology based degrees!! GIS here but I had to take a couple meteorology classes in my college days
I find it kinda cool that we have this super chill and soft-spoken dude who is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and uploads content about some of the most loud, powerful, and violent weather phenomena on Earth.
I was born in Alabama and grew up watching James Spann, even lived through the April 1998 Jefferson County tornado (Rock Creek).
Then from age 12 to now I have lived in Indiana.
Thank you for making this channel because apparently - if you hadn't - I would have had to, lol.
Also, Hoosier is pronounced "hooz-yer." While no one officially knows the origin, almost everyone pronounces it as though they are quickly/informally saying "who's your" with the classic Midwest accent.
Not even Midwesterners can say it tbh, I tried to say "hooz-yer" and it still came out as "who's-your" lol
Ive recently become OBSESSED with tornados. Stumbling across your videos is like a gold mine. Thank you for this amazing content!
Wow didn't realize this channel was growing so fast, well deserved and congrats!
Thanks! 😃 It goes through random bursts haha
Skullgirls OST as background music on a video about tornadoes?? I’m in heaven
Hey swegle, just wanna let you know, I really appreciate your time and effort into your videos! I love them and they are very educational on to forgotten tornadoes.
Thanks so much Tornado Dude!
❤
Absolutely cracking up at the various Spann reactions on the right side of the chart, brilliant stuff
Part 2 th-cam.com/video/oTzkJPkFw_c/w-d-xo.html
Also be sure to leave suggestions for the future (enhanced) tornado iceberg in the comments below! Thanks for watching!
I like your vids
Already am thanks for asking nicely though
Thx ur the best
You need to cover Steve Green, he is a former nascar driver that first built a vehicle to drive into a Tornado. He built the Tornado attack vehicle and drove into a twister before Sean or Reed did, not a lot people know about him
native Hoosier here, its pronounced "who-sure". you got it close
i love that you have james spann corresponding to different levels of the iceberg. just perfect lol. "RESPECT THE POLYGON!"
loved this, especially being a tornado nerd myself. ever since i chose to do a presentation in 6th grade on tornadoes i've been hooked
I saw that too and I loved it how spann’s face changes the deeper we go
Just found your channel about a week ago. i've been obsessed with (but absolutely terrified of) tornadoes since i was a child. it makes me so happy that there are so many people as obsessed with them as i am. can't wait to see your channel blow up!
Thanks for watching and subbing! Hopefully it keeps growing!
that’s literally me
Your channel is helping me get over the a fear of tornadoes that I’ve had my whole life, but now I think it’s safe to say it’s now turned into a fascination
Im glad I could help! I got my own phobias so I know how you feel. Sometimes understanding something better can help you get over the fear of it.
I recommend you look up Pecos Hank here on TH-cam; not only does he have some incredible footage of tornadoes but he's got some really good stuff on the science of tornadoes too.
I always find it interesting how two people filmed the washington il tornado as it smashed into their houses, no one ever talks about those :( theyre intense vids also another important thing about the Jarrell tornado is that it moved so slow that the damage done was more than we've seen in most places.. everyone died unless they were underground
Wow! SO much material, ALL of it fascinating. I anxiously await part 2. Speaking from experience, I was in the 4th grade on April 3, 1974, the day of the Xenia tornado. I lived and grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio, which borders Xenia to the west. That tornado literally flew over us and touched down there. I remember when my mom drove me through there a couple weeks later. It literally looked like a war zone. My history teacher in 8th grade survived it and told us so many stories about his experiences, amazing stuff! I’ve told you before, I’m a truck driver (owner-op) and I drove through Greensburg, KS shortly after and then subsequently many times during the next few years, watching it slowly rebuild over time. Those people are resilient for sure! Same with Joplin. The Flying J truck stop was leveled in that storm and has since been rebuilt. A more iconic truck stop, the Joplin Petro, owned by the same people who own the Iowa 80 and it is built very similar to the Iowa 80 (the world’s largest truck stop) with iconic trucks and chrome shop in a spectacular show room display, thankfully was spared. Once again, awesome research on your part, I SO appreciate you. Congrats on the 50k subs, you deserve it! 👍👍
People that grow up in Dixie Alley are always told things like "they sound like freight trains" "you'll hear it before you see it"
So it makes sense now with your input on it being a more hilly region
I love your videos as a native Oklahoman I've always found tornadoes fascinating thanks again
No problem! Thanks for watching!
You seem like an all around chill bro, listening to you talk about tornados is like ASMR.
Congrats on 50k! I’ve been here since ~5k, so it’s incredible to see how far you’ve come. Cheers to another 50k!
Nice! That was back when I was doing destruction paths and fatality maps. Thanks for subbing!
@@SwegleStudios No problem bro, keep it up!
@@SwegleStudios yeah, that’s when I got hooked!
@@SoCal780omg same!
this guy has such a calming voice and the content and the pacing of his videos is actually amazing, i'm very glad i found this channel
I stumbled across your channel a few months ago and never knew how interesting tornados were. I’m glad the algorithm gods recommended this channel to me because I’ve never even watched tornado content before. Your videos or always so chill and have a great vibe.
Thanks so much for watching!
im from western mass and tornadoes are so fascinating to me because my city of springfield was one of the few that has been hit by a tornado in new england in 2010. the path destroyed our local catholic preschool and high school (very specific). 3 people were killed, a surprisingly low number for how dense my city is. however, we (obviously) lost power and i remember 9 year old me watching the sky turn orange and deep purple throughout the night. it was one of the most fascinating moments in my life and sparked my love for storms
Hey, first off, congrats on 50k. You definitely deserve it. Couple things for part 2... I don't believe I heard anything about Dr. Forbes and Jim Cantore in this part. Idk bout others but them 2 were a massive part of me growing up with severe weather. Also the 96 f5 Oakfield wi tornado would be cool to see. That was the first tornado I remember seeing in person. It's what got me interested to start with.
you should make your own video. im not being rude.
Same RE "storm master G" and Jim Cantore👍
I added them to the (enhanced iceberg).. I also have a section on lesser known F5s where I will mention the 96 Oakfield tornado. Thanks for watching!
Jim Cantore has been around so long! I remember seeing him when I was a kid.. And now he's still here through everything again. I know hurricanes are horrible, but I honestly always loved watching Jim Cantore do his wind test, and stand out in the highest winds he could standing to show us all how powerful it was. I really commend him!
Can definitely agree with the Dixie Alley, " You hear it before you see it." I have had the 'lovely' experience of camping when a tornado came by. Heard some wind, but I thought it was just a little worse than a normal storm. Never saw the funnel, but I sure saw the damage it caused when I left the campground a few days later.
Congrats on 50k you deserve it🎉
I said it once and I'll say it it again. Underrated channel. I'm transferring schools to study meteorology and this video made me happy (especially seeing that we both own Twister on VHS). My first ever tornado movie was 1996 Tornado! I would always rent it at the video store, and I finally own it today. Not the best, but I definitely put it in the Holy Trinity of tornado films (along with Twister and Night of the Twisters)
congrats man, you got a dope channel. Re-igniting my interest in tornados and weather in general!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
this channel is getting me back into them too lol
u know, im more of a neuroscisnce nerd myself, but this channel is addictive af. amazing videos man . well researched and well explained. youtube needs more content creators like you !
Every time you upload, it makes my day. The long waits in between videos is always worth it for me.
Thanks! Sometimes I wish I didn't have a full-time job so I could upload weekly haha.
I just found your channel like yesterday and i already love it. Tornadoes are awesome and im just now realizing that :D
I just started watching your channel yesterday and you already have me completely hooked. Your editing is very nice and easy to follow and I love your videos a lot. They teach me so much about tornadoes :) thank you so much and keep up the great work
Thanks so much for the kind words! Im glad you find my channel interesting!
@@SwegleStudios of course! :D keep up the great work!!
i love your videos, and as someone who was born in early 2000s in oklahoma, lived in moor and norman for many years, and still live in oklahoma. i've had first hand experiences that i'm surprised i even remember. and your videos bring back those memories and that adrenaline. you make your content is very well made and capturing. you do a lot of great research and your channel is so underrated.
ok i suck at typing apparently
If you ever make an enhanced version you should mention the double funnel photo from the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak since it's fairly iconic, and the outbreak itself. Dunlap, Indiana was actually hit by two F4s that day.
Very fascinating video and very well put together. I live in the UK so I'm very lucky to have never experienced a tornado due to where I live. I think in a way that makes them more fascinating and mystical to me, they almost feel like something alien haha. So I love watching videos on your channel and learning more about them. 🌪
>Tornado Iceberg
>Part 1
Haha, God I love your channel dude.
I didn’t know a tornado emergency was rare until today. 5 days ago i got an tornado emergency. I hate storms and even the sound of rain so I like to learn as much of my fears as possible so I appreciate this.
Crazy how fast this channel is growing
I know! 😳
Algorithm seems to have blessed this channel. that was how I found my way here.
I’m just finding your channel yesterday and have been watching non stop. I watched a single tornado video then my recommendations are filled with nothing but tornado content. I’m a firefighter in NJ and we really don’t see tornados, but we had one a year and a half ago by my area in Gloucester County. We went to a small older town to help them open up and do rescue efforts and it looked like a warzone. I wanna go out and to the alley and find them now. Looking forward to more content!
I'm so glad to see this channel get the recognition it truly deserves
Thanks so much!
I recently rediscovered my childhood obsession with tornadoes and your channel is great.
I love watching your videos and it makes me happy coming home being able to see that you’ve uploaded keep up the good work
Hey Jacob, please do a video about amateur radio operators who serve as trained storm spotters for the NWS and state/local EMA. I served as one and later a coordinator. The mission was "Observe and report." The goal was ground truth information below the horizon of NEXRADs. I spent 20 years in that field.
I was surprised he didn't mention the pivotal role that storm spotters/storm chasers play in saving lives, both by being the “eyes in the field” for the meteorologists in the studio, but also by the data that they collect. The National Weather Service offers “Storm Spotter Training Courses” every year, & I attended the class in Topeka (Kansas) several years ago, having got my interest in meteorology from my dad, whose nickname is “Doppler Dean”.
Excellent tornado content! Ever considered doing a series of deep dive videos on particularly significant tornados (kinda like what Kyle Hill does with his Half Life History series about significant radiation disasters)? I think you'd be great at it!
Carly Anna WX, Alferia, and Weatherbox all do some good stuff like that. It's not all tornado for all of them, but it's always interesting.
Your channel is so important. Explaining tornado “parts” as an iceberg is brilliant. You take terms like hook echo and perfectly describe what it means. Very interesting. Even the more familiar terms have been simplified. Thank you.
Watching this the day after Rolling Fork, MS was hit. I’m afraid our no F5 streak might be over.
Great job on the video! That 1999 Moore footage still gives me chills.
I just found your channel, I've been obsessed with tornadoes ever since I was 4, I'm so glad I've found someone who shares my love for tornadoes
The news guy at 2:45 is the same one from the famous “everyone in McKinney is dead” clip
I feel you on the tornado nerd part. I'm so obsessed with tornadoes that I'm going to college to try and become a weather warning coordinator for the national weather service! I even met the lead weather coordinator for my area recently while attending the SKYWARN Volunteer Training earlier this year. Whenever we have bad weather in my area, I'm always the first one to raise the alarm to my classmates, professors, friends, and family members. ...My family still laughs at me over that one time I spotted rotation.
disclaimer, some of this info is only true in the US. For example, watch vs warning. Canada's warning is a US's watch
That's not true. A warning is indicating tornadoes are imminent or occurring in both countries.
I have no idea how I ended up watching videos on tornados but they're neat videos
I was actually pretty surprised to recently find out that some people actually don't know the difference between tornadoes and hurricanes! The topic of waterspouts got brought up and it turns out they thought that hurricanes were actually just large tornadoes over water ahaha
I do not think it is all ignorance. I just think people are stupid.
I was in the 2011 super outbreak, I was 3 at the time any my family went to go and pick my older brother up from school. My Father told me as we were leaving, the trees were tipping and breaking and the car was shaking. Turns out, an EF1 or 2 tornado went over really close to our car! These vids are great and I’m glad you cover this stuff.
Hope to see some mentions of the recent tornadoes up in the NJ-PA area! It seems like a new alley is forming up in the Philly-Trenton area!
I wish this channel was around when I was obsessed with tornadoes back when I was a kid! I would’ve loved it so much! You’ve earned another sub! You’ve reignited that feeling again!
Nice!
that feel when you were in both the 1999 and 2013 moore, OK F5s
i feel like a tornado magnet!!!
Swegle, you’re late. You are now at pretty much 60k subs.
I remember the tornado outbreak when I was a kid in 2005. Evansville IN got hit hard. Made me terribly scared of tornadoes. Woke up early enough to call my grandma and she took shelter. It happened really early in the morning, like midnight to 3am.
Not me, watching this while the sirens are going off. Thank you for talking about my favorite weather topic!
In 2021, we had an ef2 tornado touch down a street away from me. Less than a 1/4 miles from us. My best friend had it touch down in his back yard, we were both completely unaware of it. We only noticed when we heard it. It completely obliterated a couple of houses behind my best friends place. It was honestly terrifying because living in southwest Louisiana, we don't have common storm shelters or basements. The typical thing is to evacuate for hurricanes and such. Love your channel and the information you provide.
This is so amazing love learning more about Tornadoes and thinking back to all those times I would go back to sleep after being woken up during a Tornado Watch. Thankfully none of those tornadoes have touched down near where I live.
1996 Twister was an iconic movie for me growing up in the 2000's. It's such a great movie that I even come back to occasionally today. It still holds up to nostalgia.
I absolutely love your channel. I have ADHD and tornadoes and weather is a hyperfixation of mine. Keep up the good work man 👍
Yesss! Can’t have a tornado iceberg without a cameo from my man James Spann.
Thanks for composing a video delving into tornado defenitions, timeline events, and practical applications of tornado terms. Clarifys a lot.
Thanks to channels like yours and Carly Anna’s, I already knew about most of these things. Looking forward to checking out the next one!
I agree, tornadoes are scariest at night.
Twice in my childhood, my mom woke me up and got me out of bed, telling me we had to get into the basement. And twice, I sat with my family in our basement, watching the weather, and feeling sure that we were going to die (the tornadoes never even got close to my town, but still). Even recently, in 2022, an emergency alert on my phone woke me up to a tornado warning in my area. They’re scary enough during the day, but at night…whole other ball game.
Came here just to say, I knew I had heard of the “tornado emergency” alert from somewhere and figured out it was from this video. I knew it was somewhere on your channel. I was in a tornado emergency last night, scariest thing I’ve ever been through and I wasn’t even hit with the worst of it. But your channel went from “morbid fascination of mine” since I live in a tornado prone area, I’m scared of them but also fascinated, to “oh my god wait I’ve actually heard of this this is bad” and helping me get a grasp on an actual situation. Thanks for your videos!
Very glad a youtuber like you specialized in tornadoes. Got really tired of the reality show-esque storm chaser shows. Also growing up in the 90's you either had to get lucky on PBS, Real TV happened to have a segment on a tornado, or your own local news station (not ideal).
Twister is an amazing movie! I was obsessed with tornadoes when I was very young and the movie is always a treat to go back to! I also am into the sirens nowadays
3:55 2000s guy here! Yeah, I love this movie! So far, it's one of, if not, my favorite WB movie (my childhood didn't have much new stuff; lot of hand-me-downs).
Part of my house was destroyed in Joplin. I was 10 at the time but I remember it very very well. It truly sounds like a roaring engine. It's both terrifying and mesmerizing, I still look at footage to this day.
Absolutely LOVE this concept. Amazing editing, great pacing, and the old WC music gives me a ton of nostalgia ❤ Great job!
Man I really can’t explain why, but this narration and editing is always so relaxing but attention/grabbing; even when talking about deadly tornadoes with eerie music.
I live in Missouri myself, and had a friend in Joplin at the time. He still gets scared when thunderstorms form, he saw a school be ripped to pieces. My mom went up there and saw the aftermath, it's horrible - but people in Joplin are fuckin' amazing and banded together, not letting it get the better of them. It's amazing to go up there and see what was once in ruin
I’m in my 30s and Twister made my childhood. I’m also from Texas, so I really thought this was my life 😂😂 I was delusional but it has made me a tornado lover for life. Thanks for the great videos!
I'm not even into tornados but this video had me glued to my screen and invested. Great vid
I'm glad this channel is taking off, I see serious potential in 1 million + on this channel. Very entertaining stuff man!
13:50 “We are moving on” bro mad cool narrations even better I’m a Tornado Nerd too definitely got my sub bro 💪🏾
Wills story is wild - he and his dad were driving home and he got sucked out, they mentioned him missing that night and the sirens went off as if he wasn’t supposed to be talked about, and the scariest part was how little we cared about cutting trees at the time. The branches were so wild you couldn’t see anything around you other than flashes of lightning every once and a while, ugggh that whole day was wild and it just showed up out of nowhere, there was a Royals game happening, so much
As a resident of Alabama, I appreciate how much you view Alabama and how destructive tornadoes are here. Most TH-camrs I’ve seen seem to only focus on out west. I’ve seen a lot of tornadoes here, most memorable one I saw was the Cullman tornado on April 27, 2011.
Yeah! We have one of the worst/most tornadoes. Just a few days ago we had a tornado.. in freaking December. This happened last year too lol our weather truly is on crack
@@yippeefarts fellow Alabamian. Yeah we did have a tornado the other day. Seems Tennessee had the worst of it though sadly with that one tornado in Hendersonville I believe it was. Out west for sure has a lot of tornadoes I've been and seen them. I just think Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee deserve to be included in tornado alley tbh. We get a lot !
Its been so long since I've sat down and watched a vid about tornados. I remember being obsessed with them as a kid. Crazy enough to want to see one in person
Oh my gosh I love learning about tornadoes and I’ve been super interested in them since watching storm chasers on tv and seeing how crazy cool they are.
how convenient. this will make a great reputable source for my environmental essay on tornadoes
