      Peace, social sequrity, childcare, democracy & free world class education, even UNI is free.. so no huge student debts.
      Homelessness is really low bcs we do housing first as a policy. And free healthcare no matter your income. Unions & labour laws are really strong..... i would never set my foot in the US

      Yes, blizzard over tornado anyday! Although hurricanes...tornados and hurricanes I am pretty equally afraid of. I still think a tornado terrifies me more though, especially since we've had more here the last few years and we aren't supposed to get any (bucks County Pa, close to Philly and NJ and surrounding me about 8 tornadoes have come the last few years. I don't blame it on clate change though. I 💯% blame it on weather control and I've done the research to find the inconsistency's from natural weather to controlled weather. There is this man that has radars and yet also measures the metals in the air..he has about 6 or so maps that the radar measures different things.. the regular ones and ones following "controlled clouds/"contrails" (chemtrails) as well as the metals in the air and besides those other ways that we control the weather, and the more humans do the worse it gets. Weather isn't even the same as when I was a baby to around 19-20ish. That's when I started looking up and seeing changes. I noticed it before I even new a thing about it. Until one day I finay remembered my dad teaching me about con and chem trails and telling me the difference. He was born in 1945 Germany and worked as an air traffic controller, and he hubg out and drank with a lot of Russians and Germans and other foreigners that worked for military's and they along with his higher ups told him about a huge building where they were keeoigf all the chemicals for chemtrails and other biohazard is materials they were using on the population (including there own, everywhere). I was very young web my dad told me about this. Around 6-8 is my best guess. We were flying a kite and there were fighter pilots in the sky doif there dancibg in the sky thing (sorry I have brain fog and I'm terrible at remembering names and terms) but after one went away, the other made some contrails. That's when he told me to look out for strange clouds and told me the difference. These ones go away, chemtrails don't and rain would come shortly after then and for 3 days during and after the rain is web those metals are coming down. Nobody is safe from them except the wealthy or if you are lucky enough to live in an rich area, but een so they are effecting the earth and everything on it. They also effect something called black goo, that is connected to morgellons. I wish my dad was alive so I could have more conversations with him about it all. I did eventually look up what that building was and it does exist and it was near the airport my dad worked at. Even though it was IN Germany, it was mostly owned by the united states and I believe the united nations/NATO were involved. I wish I could share more info, but you all probably believe I'm crazy as is 😂 I don't talk about these things often because when I used to say things I knew were coming aroud 6yrs ago, I started being targeted and harrassed. It was really scary and I have kids, so I only talk randomly a few times a year in comment sections like this. I guess just to get it off my chest. I miss my dad and he would hate to see what's been happening in the world.

    I think the only issue I have with those tornado simulators (and honestly other similarly geared disaster simulators) is that they don't take into account the difference between just wind (or water, etc) hitting an object. The second a tornado touches down, it's now blowing dirt, rocks, twigs, branches, etc. When those tiny projectiles hit a surface, it can and will cause more damage than just the wind it hitting it. When a simulator takes dirt, rocks, and other debris into account, I feel they'll be far more accurate and realistic in simulating damage.

    • @coope42
      @coope42 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That's a big issue with programming and part of the reason it takes so much just to render these simulations. Each material has it's own hardness, elasticity, durability, mounting, abrasion resistance. All of that has to be taken into account for both objects the hitter and the object being hit, including sharpness as well as things like glass which are hard, but incredibly weak to any form of puncturing. Then do that not just for millions of particles, not even billion, but trillions and trillions. How do you code that, and make it actually process fast enough to be useful information?

    • @ArcherJadephoenix
      @ArcherJadephoenix ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @adam cooper true. I just feel that even a half hearted attempt to include some form of projectiles at all would be better than none. As Ron White said: its not -that- the wind is blowin'. It's -what- the wind is blowin'.

    • @TitaniumTurbine
      @TitaniumTurbine ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ⁠@@ArcherJadephoenix I’ll add onto this discussion, 3D tools such as Blender are becoming more and more capable over time. Blender for example, can currently handle a pretty incredible amount of 3D objects with physics (over a million at least, but with some constraints)… and for as long as computer hardware continues to improve so will the functional realism of such physics based simulation.
      The next great game changer for 3D apps like Blender would be integrating AI-based object generation/creation tools so thatit can create the millions, billions, and trillions of unique objects it would take to accurately simulate a home with thousands of shingles, wood splinters, belongings, furniture, etc.

    I have lived in Tornado prone states all of my life and have had at least two pass directly over my head, and several more close enough to have my ears pop. In most cases the tornadoes were leap frogging their way to where they were going. The amount of power a tornado has is difficult for someone who has not experienced it to appreciate. The first was when I was a child, and I remember hearing huge trees in my yard breaking like matchsticks as it jumped our house. We had twenty tall trees broken in half, all slightly above rooftop level , in about 2 seconds and then the tornado moved on. The second time was even quicker and sounded like a train or truck drove over us. It jumped my place and totally destroyed the adjacent apartment, which literally looked like a washing machine after the spin cycle was used.
    In most cases you hear the tornado getting close. You feel it in your ears and the barometer. Windows pop and break. However, once it is upon you, it happens so fast that you really have no time to react once it is on you. You are TOTALLY helpless, so the best thing you can do is just wait for it to pass, which is incredibly quick in most instances.

Downtown was closed for quite a bit as pieces of windows were falling on the streets and sidewalks. You would stand there and a piece of glass would hit your head. Part of the roof was pulled off during the final 4 basketball games.

Tornados rip right through that material as well. Yes ideally, you would want a "underground house"... BUT, there are practically zero hills to build one into out there.

In 2011 my rural town of 9,878 residence was hit by 2 tornadoes on the same night. We could clearly hear the F-3 funnel travel directly over the house (It DOES sound like a Freight Train), then touch down on the next street over (Complete Devastation) while my son, granddaughter, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and myself were safely underground in our steel re-enforced concrete bunker 5 ft. from the backdoor.

There was absolutely nothing left but the slab, not even debris. I remember that a school bus was found 6 miles from where it had been and was crushed into a ball.

    FYI, the updraft in the storm pulls the horizontally rotating column of air UP from the ground....making it vertical and creating the tornado. Also...tornadoes are rated using the EF scale, or Enhanced Fujita scale. The F scale stopped being used in 2007.

    • @stormbringer126

      Yes, but these tornados happened before 2007, so they still carry their original F-scale ranking.

    I got everyone into the basement just in time, when i realized everyones pets were still inside, ours too. I shoved the smallest ones in a singke kennel (sorry buddies) and carried my dog in the other arm. As i got out the door the tornado hit my neighborhood the entire sky was green and a straight up sheet of rain was comin down and i looked up the street, literally one block away, rip a huge tree out the ground and lay it in the street, almost hitting the house across the street.
    I never ran so fast in my life.
    It was strange though, i felt no wind.

    I reside in Oklahoma. I vividly recall the Moore, OK, tornado - it was a nightmare. My family experienced it firsthand. In the 1990s, an F4 tornado passed just 5 miles south of my house. It stripped houses from their foundations, leaving only bare slabs. Even debris was nonexistent. A school bus was found 6 miles away, crushed into a ball. Around 3 years ago, a small, probably F0 tornado grazed my home. Thankfully, it spared the house but snapped some tree limbs. Tornadoes are not something I want to deal with

    I was on the 400 block of North Main Street working as a courier on March 28, of 2000 when an F0-F2 tornado walked straight into downtown Ft Worth, Tx. It was surreal. I've always been fascinated by tornados and had always wanted to see one, but not so close up. I was peeking around the corner of the building where I was to view it; peeking around to see it but not be seen BY it more accurately. It had just hit head on an office building, and a gentleman near me stated, "Wow! Look at all the shingles it picked up!" I informed him that it was just leaving the Cash America building and was taking its 8 x 8 thick glass windows with it. I can't imagine the devastation as a result of being struck with a hunk of glass weighing a few hundred pounds. But there they were, just floating around, circling the vortex like horses on a carousel. A coworker of mine happened to be smack dab in the middle of downtown, not four blocks away like I was. He ducked into a parking garage lobby just in time to turn around and see the tip of the twister that was actually making contact with the street. He said it was about maybe 2 feet across, essentially a point, but whizzing around like a top, and moreover, effortlessly tossing cars and trucks that were parked on the street around like a bipolar child taking his anger out on his Tonkas. I guess I can scratch seeing one of these bad boys live off my bucket list

As a rope it was already spinning so fast it became transparent (I don't think I've ever seen that with any other tornado). The thing was a freak of nature. We can only hope it remains unmatched.

This tornado literally dug 2 ft into ground it took a ford explorer threw it into the water tower there still a dent today to prove it and than it went another 100 yards after hit tower. It also took a double wide mobile home threw in 300 yards without hitting ground and when hit ground it rolled 100 more yards. They said it threw a safe with same force of like 1500 psi. Def check out smithville one that to me takes cake and is very under rated cuz wasn't big town and was during 2011 outbreak so had so many other

    Any mention of the deadliest tornadoes would be incomplete without mentioning the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh, which occurred on April 26, 1989. While most tornadoes occur in the USA, Bangladesh has a few tornadoes, but a greater percentage of Bangladeshi tornadoes become fatal (I believe) when compared with the USA. The Daulatpur-Saturia tornado claimed at least 1,300 lives, making it the deadliest tornado in recorded history. Bangladeshi tornadoes, as well as a few tornadoes in adjacent regions of India, are definitely over-represented on the list of the deadliest tornadoes.
    Keep in mind that the quality of the average building in Bangladesh is nowhere near US standards, nor do there seem to be tornado warning systems in place. Note that Bangladesh also lays claim to the deadliest tropical cyclone, the Bhola cyclone of 1970 (although it also affected and killed people in India), which killed between 300,000 and 500,000 people. When excluding pandemics (as they persist for long periods of time), only two natural disasters of the 21st century can claim such massive death tolls, both of which were the result of earthquakes (or an earthquake-triggered tsunami); the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, as well as the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Tallest steel building was close by and looked to me to be just a bit twisted. Dozers weren't even done yet and car and building wreckage everywhere.
    But when I saw the news coverage the very morning after Moore OK '99 all I saw from that copter footage were concrete slabs and that's about all. It's like the thing just swept it up and put it somewhere else because there was nothing but concrete slabs to see in the footage . . .
