What's going on everyone?! Thanks so much for watching! We're going all around the world today in search of some historic tornadoes in spots you might not expect. I was sick while if filmed this so if I sound a bit rough. My b. Also in terms of European tornadoes, I do plan on doing a dedicated video to the topic so stay tuned for that!
Also I used a lot of the Tornado Archive for this video and I highly recommend checking it out!

Don't worry, lots of people are sick at this time of year. Just take it easy and rest!
Pleasr make a video on Tornadoes in India too.
please don't use ai for your thumbnails
Just shows your dedication bud. We appreciate you and your content!
Jesus loves you
The 1984 soviet tornado outbreak was truly insane, you should read more in-depth into the damage reports of the Ivanovo-Lunyovo & Kostroma-Lyubim tornadoes. Not sure why it was downgraded to F4, but Torro still has it as a T10 F5 equivalent to 270-300 mph. The torro rating fits perfectly when you had both tornadoes do this:
- a 350 ton crane lifted 3 meters into the air and twisted
- another 353 ton crane toppled and insanely mangled
- a 55 ton water tank thrown 200 meters
- the asphalt of a highway scoured off
- Complete obliteration of a reinforced concrete building (likely a commie block)
- dropped 1kg hailstones
Some people questions the accuracy of these proported event details report you listed
Pp poo poo
i do really doubt it but thats fucking insane if true

I will never forget the 2015 F3 Bützow Tornado here in northeast Germany. This tornado made me realise that we, too, can get strong tornadoes. The local radiostation were talking about it for days. Through my own research, I even found out that only like 1 hour away an F5 Tornado touched down in Woldek, but that was in 1764. This one is apparently well documented. I definitely have to read these documents in the near future
In general Europe has quite a lot Tornadoes including strong and severe ones. Still a lot of People completely deny its existance or compare it with the US in an incorrect way. (Meaning they claim that entire Cities regularely get completely destroyed regularely or just compare the total numbers of Germany and the US without acknowledging the very different size of both countries)
No Europe doesn't really get that much tornadoes and strong ones are very rare in Europe@@lukasrentz3238
Wait hold on have ich heard of you hmmm aha the middle child yeah I don,t want to have anything to do with you anymore
I was about to write that comment....
Ja, ich vergesse auch manchmal, dass wir selbst hier in Schland Tornados haben können. 😮
Babe, wake up, Swegle Studios just posted.
Fakes. accept I live alone.😢
No🖕🏻
Yep
Real
Gotta do me like that 😢
Thanks a lot for covering the Czech F4. It was a huge and unexpected tragedy, but unfortunately (probably because it was overshadowed by the pandemic), it only remains a horrible memory here in Czechia and it basically isn’t known anywhere else.
Great video as always
In germany we heard the tragic news and were warned the day before about the potential of big tornadoes, nothing happened that day, but the next day as the danger moved to east a big supercell dropped the tornado.
its not true, just because us media tells you otherwise doesnt mean no one has noticed it, netherlands, denmark, germany, luxembourg etc. it was all over the news.
Wow! Didn't know you were a Daddy, and twins at that! Enjoy your little ones, they'll be big before you know it. Awesome content.....you have a unique way of looking at things and presenting it to us weather weenies.
Those kids are gonna be studying correlation coefficients by 5 years old 🤣
@@RT-qd8ylyou think they be doing that at like 5 they’ll probably do more science than that
In Australia, 1989, my grandpa was selling seed (since he’s a farmer) in Elsmore, NSW. While he was there, he was out having a break in his brother’s smoko shed when the EF3 tornado touched down. Keep in mind that it is so rare to have tornadoes on places like that!
The tornado passed over the shed (it hadn’t quite reached 3 at this point) and tore the roof off. My pa ran down to his brother’s house to warn everyone, but was caught on the neighbour’s property. The neighbour’s son was working on the field and ran down to my pa to ask who he was (since he was technically trespassing). The tornado changed direction and my pa managed to drag the boy to a telephone pole to root themselves to the ground. It was shaking and literally being sucked up out of the ground, but my pa held onto the boy and never let go. ❤
I was there too.
I searched and searched for this tornado on the tornado archive. Do you think it happened in the Winter? (Or 1st of July) or Summer (November 6th)
@@EdvardTheGreat Sadly I don’t remember it very well. He is no longer with us to tell me, but it was in Elsmore in I believe 1997.
@@annabelwestwood6192 I actually found an F2 near the Elsmore area, November 6, 1989.

@@EdvardTheGreat Wow! That’s awesome. I had been told it was officially an EF2 but it is apparently believed it got to EF3. Regardless, scary experience!
These last years were quite active for tornadoes here, in France. You mentioned the Bihucourt tornado, undoubtedly the most violent and fascinating of all, but other ones were interesting. Im' thinking of the Juvigné tornado that occured last september which seemed to be coming strait from Oklahoma, the Pontarion tornado (a high-end EF2 with a very narrow but powerful path), the Oléron/Port-des-Barques tornado which was a very impressive mesocyclonic waterspout that came on land, or the Longwy/Bascharage tornado (this one initiated in France but caused very severe damages and several injuries in Luxembourg). And I have also to mention the two frenchs (E)F5, in Montville in 1845 and in Palluel in 1967. Two extraordinary tornadoes.
the Bihucourt tornado was strong, but not exceptional (a low EF3) but it is especially its 209km journey which is rare...
As for tornadoes in France, they have not been more "active" in recent years, but more filmed, thanks to smartphones and European stormchasers....Not to mention Keraunos, the official organization for tornadoes in France.
@@Lodai974Man, even tornadoes now have official organizations that sponsor them... That's wild!
heh
My grandfather was in Boston at the time of the Worcester tornado. He said he was on a street that ran right in that direction, and when you looked down towards Worcester, "it looked like night had fallen"
That's crazy, Worcester is about 20 minutes drive from me, hard to imagine that level of destruction or that sized tornado here. We had one that did a bit of damage I think about 12 years ago, not terribly much though at least by southern/midwestern standards.
Since then had a couple little itty-bitty anorexic ones, my brother looked out his window and saw one strolling down the street before it blew out.
Had no idea you were married or had babies! Very cute and congratulations Sweg ^^ scary video clips too...
England just had a tornado the other day, big enough to make international news. Quite significant damage, no deaths. Here in Australia we had 2 small ones EF0-1 on christmas day during severe storms.
A few notes: that supposed tornado path in Russia at 9:23 is 100% in Asia. Also, pretty much all powerful tornadoes come from cumulonimbus clouds. Cumulus clouds clouds rarely spawn tornadoes and if they do they are generally super weak.
yeah and most of Asia is Russia
asia is continent russia is continent sised country
@@s.8186 Most of Russia is Asia. Most of Asia is other than Russia. Remember, the middle east and India are Asia too
@@RT-qd8yl it is however worth noting that russians originated in the europe and colonised the siberian parts, they are asian only geopolitically. tribes like the ket, tuva, etc. are the real asians here
I think the UK gets those because I saw a uk tornado and it was small (it was the Birmingham F3 tornado) I saw a roof get toppled over onto another house then a tree get snapped in half (by the way I think the uk had a stronger tornado once years ago)
There was also a large, fairly long tracked Tornado that hit the City of The Gold Coast in Australia on Christmas Night this year.
The 1970 Buladelah tornado which occurred in Australia, although unrated is another candidate for a possible F4/F5 level tornado.
we just had on Christmas night this year
was going to raise this tornado, that think was a monster in buladelah. the photos of the tornado on the gold coast on chrissy eve are amazing and i think it ended up being a ef2

@@tomknox5952 yea they say it was a EF2 that we got hit by I would say it was easily have been a Ef3
@@southGoldcoast absolutely, the couplet on radar looked crazy that’s Higgins storm chasing out up as well as a house being flattened at mt tambourine
Even had a weak echo hole which is normally a sign of a huge tornado
This is something that I really love from TH-cam where you can find people talking about the things that they like.
I wanted to know more about tornadoes so I was looking for a channel and found you.
Thanks man
Pietro Maximoff: This is TH-cam?
Steve Rogers: This is what TH-cam is supossed to be
Thank you for mentioning Australia. Our biggest tornado was Bulahdelah I believe, which could of been an F5. It'd be nice to see a video about Aussie tornados though!
Aussie here too and yes, would love a full video on our tornadoes!
We also just had one on the gold coast lol
We get a few fire tornadoes too, so that would be cool to mention.
could have.
Another fascinating choice of topic as usual. As someone from the UK I was waiting for a topic like this, just a shame we didn't get a mention. We don't seem to get the larger ones in more recent times like France, Italy, Germany and some other Eastern European countries do, but worth noting we had the biggest tornado outbreak in European history in 1981 - 104 confirmed tornadoes in the space of 5 and a half hours.
A suburb of Manchester just had a EF-2/T5 the other day, there was a tornado on the south coast yesterday, not to mention the T6 which would be a tornado with winds of 161 - 186 mph, while the one in Manchester had somewhere between 137-160mph
@@deathcrashtest64 Yes I heard about that. There was also the 2005 Birmingham tornado. I think it was an F2 and probably the most well known of the UK's more recent tornados with various bits of footage of it. I would imagine we are due a more powerful one before long at some point, given how long it's been since the last F4 and with climate change having an influence.
Birmingham was a T5 but wider area of T5/EF-2 Damage. @@joewhite22
Tf is your pfp
It is believed the strongest tornado to hit the UK was in 1666 in Lincolnshire and it was a t9
I live in eastern Massachusetts and there was a tornado in Revere, MA several years ago. Revere is only a few towns away from me and also it’s right on the cold Atlantic coast. It was an EF-2 I believe. It also it touched down at 8 in the morning. Absolutely unbelievable that happened. Thunderstorms almost always fall completely apart when they get close to the cold marine air
Oh yeah I remember that too
We got a weirdly high amount of tornados this past year as well. But yeah I also remember that.
Central here. I think I remember that one, they played that porch window view footage looking out at the bridge over and over for a couple weeks.
There have been two tornadoes in La Paz, Bolivia (South America) in the past few years. You might have heard about them due to how recent they are, but I think they are worth it for this list. They occurred in December 2019 and December 2022. I saw the 2022 from very far away and I still can’t believe what I saw. We are not known for having tornadoes.
Hey Jake!
Just recently went in and watched some of your content and now I’m addicted to tornadoes. Your videos are so easy to understand and entertaining, really nice to watch😊❤
A T5 (EF3) tornado hit Manchester UK the other day, thats fairly unusual i'd say.
A T6 tornado (EF3) hit Jersey as well around 2 months ago.
@@thetallweatherman2246It seems tornadoes in the UK are becoming more common, or just stronger.
that is highly unusual for england! storm gerrit was a wild storm for sure.
@@lightthroughdark Not likely, as is the case here in he US(and everywhere else) the technology for detecting them is just a lot better. As well as everyone having phones with cameras to capture footage of them. I hear people in the area I live say tornadoes are more and more common but that comes with the correlation of rapid advancement of radar technology over the last few decades. It COULD be that there are more tornadoes, but we won't know one way or the other for a few more decades with modern radar technology to compare the numbers to. Just 60 years ago a tornado could've occurred someone rural, but if no one saw it and reported it then it might've just gone completely unnoticed.
@@lightthroughdark Well we have had more active years in terms of tornadoes but the intensity is quite something this year. It’s also a coincidence that there is little to no affect on tornadoes in the UK because of climate change.
Yo! Beautiful wife, beautiful home, gets to upload some sick tornado content for all of us to enjoy AND has twins?!? You’re truly living the life!! Congrats on your bundles of joy, enjoy them as they will grow so fast!
(Also as a mother of a toddler, that no sleep line is so real)
Always great as usual, Jake! Keep up the good work, and the excellent research!
I love this topic! Thank you for making this! You made this tornado fanatic’s day🦋
I remember when that happened. I lived in the town next to revere(winthrop) . Everyone was shocked by that tornado
I'm from Colorado. And was told in school we can't have tornados due to the mountains. Come to find out in the 90s three tornados touched down in the city of Denver at the same time 😂
I have family living in Hungary and go visit them every few years. One time about three years ago, the forecast said it would be very windy in the area with high chances of rain or even hail. It wasn't anything remarkable until a large swirling cloud started to form directly above the house we were staying at, and producing incredibly strong winds blowing away nearly all the outdoor furniture. Fortunately the swirling cloud never managed to touch the ground or form a proper tornado / twister, but it was a very rare sight and an interesting experience. I even managed to record a video of the whole ordeal!
I was there too.
After being in the 2011 Tuscaloosa tornado, these videos have been a big part in helping me with the fear of tornadoes (and especially windows now).
Thanks man, keep it up!
Incredible video. I was in Canberra Australia when my passion for storms really started. During the 2003 fires there's been a long track Ef2 tornado generated by the pyrocumulonimus clouds. It's really like the fires genererated a supercell which generated a tornado. I think it's the only reported case of Pyro-tornadogenesis. Later there's been debate whether the Carr fire tornado was also caused by PyroCB clouds. These clouds can even produce black hail as ice mixes with ashes. Fire, tornado, lightning, black hail, a hell of a landscape.
I think it was an EF3, actually, even crazier. That thing was horrifying, but incredibly fascinating.
I love this channel! It always manages to satisfy my craving for this specific topic with a well researched video!
Sweet video as always! However as an Edmontonian I would like to inform you that the Black Friday tornado happened in 1987, not 1985!
That is correct
There was also a crazy tornado in MA in 2011, an EF3 touched down about a half mile from my house. I'll obviously never forget it. I'd love it if you cover this one sometime.

Adding another Canadian tornado.
Didsbury, Alberta (little over 200km south of Edmonton) recently had an ef4 tornado.
Weird coincidence that central Alberta got 2 ef4s
Canada is so freaking nice that even their Tornadoes are chill
I currently live at the top of Tornado Alley in Minnesota, USA. 42 years before I was born the town I grew up in (Fergus Falls) was hit by an F5 in 1919. Even by the time I grew up there in the 60’s, there were large areas where all houses were relatively newer.
Great video Swegle, tho there are some points i want to point out, because the lack of research lacked heavily in some areas.
6:56 “europe isn’t known to be tornado active” is actually a pretty contradictory believe a lot of people have. Looking at ESWD, the number of tornado reports in europe is way more than what most would assume. Even in 2021, the number of tornado reports for the year “2021” as far as i can see on the database is over 900.
7:11 If you look at the damage survey by ESSL & CHMI, only a few Damage Indicators in rural areas saw an IF4 rating, including some trees near Moravska nova ves. Most of the IF4 DI’s were exactly within the populated areas, most notably in Mikulcice where a decent amount of IF4 DIs were made. it was even stated that a building would have earned an IF5 rating if the connection between the roof & walls wasn’t found to be faulty, Nor was the IF4 tornado the first in czechia since the Prague tornado of 1119 was rated F4. Let’s also not use the EF scale for european tornadoes since the F, EF & IF have different DI ratings. EF scale DI’s are also not suitable for our buildings standards, as it’s based on american standards.
7:36 Using TA for international tornadoes is not reliable at this moment because it hasn’t been updated to show 2022 & 2023 tornadoes. TA is generally reliable, but shouldn’t be used for international tornadoes until they update it. Alone for 2022 & 2023, they’re missing over 1500 tornadoes from these periods in europe. That does not include the older tornadoes reported in that period. As an example, when TA updates europe, some areas are gonna be more filled with sig tors. In particularly scandinavia where an extreme amount of sig tornadoes through time was discovered & collected by ESWD in that time period, including 4 F4 tornadoes with the recent F4 being from 1928
8:50 To clear up confusing some may have, outbreaks is not the same as individual tornadoes. A number of tornadoes have caused more fatalities in europe than the ivanovo tornado. One famous example is the F4 tornado in spain back in the 1600s that claimed the lives of 600 people
Jesus uh.. Someone mind breaking this down, I'm NOT reading all that.
well you should recheck your first point because europe typically has 300-400 tornados. in 2021 they had around 350, and about 550 waterspouts, which are similar to tornados but almost always weaker than than weakest tornado.
@@IraDiaboIi Waterspouts are tornadoes over water, hence why they count it. ICWR mentioned this as well. Fair weather waterspouts are landspouts over water, so intensity is almost identical. Same with a tornadic waterspout/mesocyclonic waterspout. In sweden in the 1960s a boat was tossed by a waterspout which claimed 3 lives. Small Boats itself can weight as much as a car. Obviously boats are more flat & small, and can function like a trailer in terms of DIs, but that’ll still take some strength. ferries here in denmark also have doppler radars from Furuno, which would help contribute to wind speed measurements by radar using gate to gate technique if hit or passed next to it which is a DI on the IF scale.
@@IraDiaboIi are you kinda confused? watersprouts ARE tornados, they do everything like tornados, the clouds, the pressure differencial etc.
The Birmingham 2005 tornado was pretty peculiar, was a high end F2 that tore through the city
You mean Birmingham uk? That sounds pretty normal in Birmingham al
Yes Birmingham UK.
You should specify Birmingham, United Kingdom because Birmingham alone is no stranger to tormado enthusiast
Dude, your videos are AMAZING.
Happy Holidays.
Once again, I just love all of your research. You are awesome and make some of the very best videos about tornadoes!!! Amazing job as always!
Though the Edmonton tornado actually happened in 1987, the year 1985 saw two tornadoes rated f4 hit Canada, most notably the Barrie f4. That was the same outbreak that produced the Niles-Wheatland f5 in the US.
God, Swegle. Don't stop what you're doin'. You have brought together two of my favourite areas of study, in this video, that being meteorology and geography. I value that you continuously present new information and stories through your channel. God speed, you magnificent bastard.
I remember coming across your channel not long ago and you were still up and coming with not many subs. Its awesome to come across your channel again and see you pushing for 200k and a massive boost in your video quality. I've subbed this time so i don't lose your channel again.
*Czech viewer's perspective and story:*
Hi from a new subscriber here! I've only recently discovered your channel (it's a great one!), but I've always been fascinated by tornadoes. I had never considered them a real danger in my country (in the middle of Europe), tornadoes were "the big ones happen only in America" kind of a thing, but I always took interest in videos explaining how they form, the structure of storms, accompanying weather phenomena etc. I live and work in Prague, but my family lives in the region of South Moravia, Hodonin district. In the summer of 2021 we had some severe thunderstorms. On the 24th ofJune I was looking at an online rain forecast, planning my evening activities. The radar showed a huge incoming complex of strong storms spanning across our whole country. I told to myself "damn, this looks nasty", because they looked like real supercells and a thought "if I'd live in the US, I would be afraid that there could be a tornado" actually did cross my mind. That evening, I called my mum, to chat about how my family was doing. My mum told me that a huge storm was coming. That the air "felt weird", that she had never experienced anything like that before a storm. They have also seen some "strange clouds" and she described mammatus clouds to me. I could hear thunder rumbling over the phone. Then I heard my father come over to my mum and tell her with a grave voice that a strong tornado had just completely levelled a nearby village of Hrušky to the ground. My father is a retired firefighter, so he got the news immediately, probably when the tornado was still on the ground. As you've said in this video, it reached the strength of EF4. It destroyed 5 villages and killed 6 people, its path was 26 kilometres long and at some stages it reached a width of 500 metres. It stopped 15 km from the village where my family lives. If you'd climb the hill behind our house, you could actually see it. Some of my father's former coworkers lost their homes or were injured. Most of the people had no clue what was coming, because no one thought such a strong tornado could happen in our country. We don't have any tornado warning system, no tornado shelters. So you can find some crazy footage on youtube from people who shot "a strong storm" on their phones from their balconies, not knowing they are staring at an EF4 tornado coming right at them, not realizing that they should hide... There's a great 2-years-old video that doesn't have enough views, made by Jakub Třešňák named "Tornádo na Břeclavsku a Hodonínsku/South Moravia F4 Tornado 2021 (Synced)" that compiles basically all of those videos, chronologically as the tornado happened, with English subtitles. On the other hand, the most viewed video is called "Inside of an F4 tornado (full version)" on channel "mmhardky". It has 7,4 mil. views and you could rename that one "showcasing what not to do when there's a tornado close by"... I think you used part of that one in your video, but not the most insane part....
I can tell you all, expecting a storm here is nowadays totally different! Just 10 days before the one year anniversary of the Hodonin district EF4 tornado, we've got a small EF1 tornado in a village just 7 kms from one of those villages that were destroyed last year. Since then, my parents have actually felt the weird air once more before a strong storm and thought they'd seen a rotating wall cloud forming.... well, we hope South Moravia won't become another European tornado alley, but one can never know.
Not a tornado, but during the nascar race at Daytona in august of last year there was a sizable water spout behind the track, the cars were still going around at the time, really cool to witness
It's always a good day when Swegle Studios uploads
Very well documented and presented! I'm impressed! Thank you so much for sharing!
Happy New Year!
A new video to greet the new year! I always look forward to your videos with interesting phenomena. Thank you for this!
We occasionally get tornadoes here in Western Washington. I remember one a few years ago that hit just offshore of DuPont, less than 3 miles from where I lived at the time.
A great video. We get a lot in the UK but they’re all pretty weedy. I’ve actually seen the odd funnel being born in certain storm clouds but they never amount to much
We just had a short lived tornado in Manchester two days ago that ripped rooves off of houses and damaged well built brick buildings, no deaths reported thankfully.
Being from the UK myself I've regrettably never seen even a funnel but they do say we get more tornadoes per square mile than anywhere else outside of the US I believe. It's either us or the Netherlands anyway.
I'm actually from Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada and that EF5 tornado in Elie actually almost hit my grandparents farm. My grandpa was at the farm at the time and could see the tornado from his truck out in his field. If it would have continued on it's path, it likely would have hit my grandparents farm. If you go back and look on the map, for reference, my grandparents farm is located on 426 Rd by the Hutterite colony (that's all I'll share so I don't dox myself lol). That tornado and the storm it came from actually gave me a fear of tornadoes for a few years, and I would have pretty bad anxiety attacks every time there were bad storms in Winnipeg as tornadoes are pretty common here. I find them fascinating now though, as an adult.
Happy new year, my dude. The content this year has been much appreciated. ☕
There was an EF4 that struck Delores, Uruguay in 2016. The compilation of videos from that tornado show some of this most impressive "inside a tornado" footage that exists. The shoe store security footage especially, as it shows inside the core of the EF4 without the camera being directly hit, so you can see the flood of debris rush into the street like a tsunami.
I live in a tiny desert valley of central Arizona and a few years ago we got hit by hurricane remnants when my mind was blown as I stepped outside and saw cloud rotation over my house, the sky turned green and everything. An EF0 ended up touching down a couple miles up the road. Now my tiny Arizona town is mentioned in a Wikipedia article about a hurricane lol
That 2007 Elie F5 in Canada seems like the most Canadian tornado ever.
Showed up, kept looking beautiful, didn't harm a soul, and left.
It's always a good day when Swegle uploads a new vid. Carol Ann WX makes alot of good videos on foreign tornadoes too.
Whenever I heard news of tornadoes hitting in Australia, it’d nearly always seemed to occur near Ballarat. But it seems mid north and mid western Victoria is a bit of a tornado magnet.
And the funny thing is that Australians reacting to these disasters is so different to those in the US because we understate everything.
Like in US reports you’ll have people in tears, inconsolable, and rightly so. But then there was this news report of a tornado hitting I think Albury which destroyed a caravan park, and the one local they interviewed was like, “Not looking too good mate, nah.” As Carl Barron said, we understate everything.
i was never really interested in weather topics except like some documentaries on the tv but when i discovered your channel i fell in love, now i'm an weather nerd haha
Congratulations to you and your wife on your twin bubs! 🎉🌻 awesome video as always, always informative and interesting!! Love your channel, thanks for mentioning Australia 🇦🇺
This summer I was driving from Drumheller to Calgary. While I was driving me and my partner both received a tornado warning alert on our phones. Later once we reached Calgary we found out about the EF4 tornado that had hit a town (Airdrie) just a few km from us. Scary stuff. Thankfully I don't think anyone was killed.
I was thinking about Airdie!
That was a photogenic one, even being as violent as it was!
Canada is the second-most active country for tornados, although most are in EF1 territory. I saw one in Woodbridge, ON while I was travelling through in 2009. Alberta's topography is the same as Tornado Alley so it's not surprising they've gotten the worst ones.
Ya Alberta is just an extension of the Midwest. Tornadoes don’t stop at the border.
I lived in Vancouver at the time, but was visiting family in Calgary when the tornado hit Edmonton. It was so windy in Calgary there was corrugated metal dancing through the parking lot. I went back to Vancouver and started the school year with a story, saying how I was glad to be back in a nice, safe earthquake zone 😆
Awesome video dude, really interesting topic
I have been waiting for this for a long time
There are several places in the US that have been hit multiple times by F3+ tornadoes in recent history. Taking a look at these places would be interesting.
from what i heard a couple years ago, there was a tornado that touched down in oahu, hawaii, near the town of kailua. waterspouts would make more sense (though they are still very rare), but this was a full-blown F2 that touched the ground.. it's lifespan was very short, but it's still interesting (and terrifying to us) for this happen in the islands, as tornadoes are one of those things that DO NOT happen here.
Great video as always.
I've always wondered about tornados in other parts of the world. Thanks for this video; it was fascinating and informative.
There was a big, random EF4 in Didsbury, Alberta this year, and tornadoes that close to the Rockies are generally pretty rare, especially a violent one
Also did you know on the border town of fort smith in the N.W.T, there was a ef3 tornado the touched down in the centre of town it was pretty crazy. It happened in June of 2019 when I was living there nothing crazy happened and the tornado lasted about 1-3 min while it flipped trampolines and tore shed apart. Both of these circumstances are pretty rare places for tornadoes. But now impossible.
You should check out the recent tornado that hit Jersey in the Channel Islands in November. It was rated a T6, equivalent to an EF4, very rare for the UK! It was associated with extratropical storm Ciarran, and also contained large hail.
Usually T6 should be only considered (low end) F3, the ESWD only confirms T5.
In different Scales the damage Descriptions are the metric which should be compared and not the assigned windspeeds to the ratings, since these are only there for better understanding but not the metric on which Tornadoes get rated.
(Corrected mistake, originally i wrote T6 is high and F3, which was wrong)
T6 is more equivalent to low-end F3 since the TORRO scale and Fujita scale line up when it comes to windspeeds, eg T2 and T3= F1, or T6 and T7=F3
I appreciate the way you handled this video, not too serious but handling the tornados with human casualties with an appropriate level of restraint. I also appreciate relevant visual aid instead of pointless B roll. Great video.
great video dude. i'm so glad you mentioned the kiana, alaska tornado! it's one of my favorites and i don't see many people talk about it. i didn't know about that one in siberia. amazing such a large track was unknown for so long.
Your family is so beautiful 🥰
The Tornadoes in New Zealand are always pretty rare and interesting. Had one less than 10km away from me about a month ago
Yesss!! Thank you so much for talking about Australian tornadoes! As an Australian myself, I've been completely fascinated by them, we've certainly had a few interesting events. Sadly, since a lot of the country is completely empty with no people whatsoever, we could've had several more EF4s, or even an EF5 and we'll never know about it. I'll talk about a couple more interesting events below:
The Bulahdelah tornado in 1970 was potentially an F5, though it never received an official rating. It destroyed over 1 million trees... and that's basically all the information I can find on it.
Possibly the most interesting event (in my personal opinion) was the Brighton tornado of 1918. It was actually an outbreak of 2 (possibly 3, according to some sources) tornadoes which hit the Melbourne suburb of Brighton pretty hard, killing two people, and were officially given a rating of F3. It's just crazy that MULTIPLE large tornadoes hit a place near where I live today. Strong tornadoes tearing through suburban Melbourne is just completely mind blowing.
Also just the other day, there was a tornado which hit the Gold Coast (possibly an EF2 from what I've read, though they've received no official rating).
I was in the path of the tornado! Touched down right next to us.
I thought it was just a freakishly strong thunderstorm on par to the cyclones that come through until we all saw the damage in the morning.
I’ve also been really intrigued and amazed by tornadoes (and cyclones) and to have one right next to me?? To be in one??? My little brain exploded with awe and fear dude I never want to be in that again 😅
My family survived the Black Friday tornado in Edmonton. My grandfather in particular tried to warn his coworkers at the factory he worked at that it was coming and that they needed to get to cover, but no one believed him, and a lot of them lost their lives because of it
Weirdest one for me was in the UK a few years ago.
There it was, large as life, then the camera panned down to a sign saying - 'Lincoln 8 Miles, Sleaford 10 Miles'.
Not something I'd ever thought I'd see !
Northern Ireland is under a tornado warning today 🤷♀️ something I never thought I’d see

Hey Jake,
I remember you mentioning the idea of this once and it would be really cool if you did make a video documenting TIVs, known ones and how they've evolved over time and been refined.
Thanks , love your content
Best channel on TH-cam! Great work sir!
Swegle please don't tell me the video icon is ai made.....
It is
Who cares
@@fuzi_ personally I’m assuming that AI thumbnails give off the impression that the content creator is putting less effort into making their thumbnails. And AI’s current reputation in social media doesn’t help either.
But it could just be the repetitive style of AI-generated images that make people dislike them so much. It looks so saturated like those cringy type of kids-content channels.
Hey Swegle! Great video. I just wanted to say that the Edmonton tornado is actually a tornado that happened July 31, 1987 😊 and Eli is actually said like this Ee-lie. Merry Christmas and happy new year from 🇨🇦 Canada
We had a tornado outbreak in NJ two years ago from remains of Hurricane Ida. EF3 hit my area and got deployed with the FD to assist in rescue efforts. We’ve only had 180 confirmed tornados here but only a very few have been anything more than EF2
I live on the Pacific Coast just south of San Francisco, CA. In the 1980's when I was a teenager a freak tornado destroyed 3 houses and ripped the entire roof from another home and left it hundreds of feet up a mountain. Pretty wild stuff!
almost done with the video now, and i have to say, i love the quality of your content so much. weather/tornadoes are my special interests, and your videos give me so much new, fun information to expand my knowledge.
i will also say, i don't appreciate the use of AI for the thumbnail. I think real photos are much cooler and more striking!
I agree, I hope it doesn't become his go-to for creating thumbnails
U forgot about the UK bc it has had multiple tornado outbreaks in the last century
been watching your channel for 9 months now! i use to be obsessed with tornados and every now and than i have a little tornado video marathon!
you are one of my favorite channels as I have learned a little more about tornadoes and other cool things about the world from you! thank you and im gonna continue to watch all your new videos! keep up the great work!
speaking of rare Tornadoes. i live in London Ontario Canada and we have a very big Tornado in 1984 which was part of a outbreak
Loved the video! Keep it up man. You always do a great job doing ads for sponsors too lol
We actually had one somewhat recent tornadoes neat my German home town (in Lippstadt/Paderborn and Höxter) last year in 2022 (they were registered as F2s, if I remember right), I'm just happy we don't get them as often, they generally don't seem as strong as yours in the US and that thry usually don't leave as much destruction in their wake (might be because the brick'n'mortar to wooden house ratio is leani g more towards the brick ones, too) 😅
For weaker tornadoes that might be true. But put those brick houses in front of an EF5 and it’ll treat it like straw. 😅
@@WanderingRoeYep, the Fujita-Torro-Scale used in Germany (though we slowly switch to "International Fujita Scale) describes F3 already as severe structural damage of massively built homes and collapse of a few ones.
I didnt know you had a wife and twins, thats nice
Fun fact about the Worcester E4: In addition to the E4, three powerful rain wrapped E3’s also touched down. One E3 went through the small town of Franklin, MA where I live. In our town archive, the local newspaper covered it extensively. The most interesting account documented a first hand account of a women and her three children who were directly in its path but miraculously survived. No one talks about the other three tornadoes that touched down that day!
Great video, I even liked the ad!
Tornadoes are not that uncommon in Europe
Even in UK how about Iceland
9:20 don't wanna be an ass, but that's like the middle of asia.
Why I like this channel.

Your production is perfect man 👌🏻
the thumbnail looks AI generated and pretty bad.
Whomp whomp
YOU HAVE KIDS!?
The FBI are watching.
Your literally my favorite youtuber Jake I've watch basically all your videos and uour the only channel I have notifications on. Iove your content
Just discovered your channel and I’ve been up all night binge watching your videos lol. I loved your demonstration on how the air from the Rockies and gulf mix. 😂
_I can tell you used ai for your thumbnail_
And? This isn't an art channel. 🤡
@@leopluerodong4244 I know what you are
I know bro he should have done real tornadoes 🌪️ instead of these fake tornadoes 🌪️
I don't see the problem with an AI thumbnail.
Its a thumbnail dude how old r u?
good video but AI thumbnail 😔
Womp Womp
Who gives a shit?
@@sertank735not a single soul lol
Womp Womp
Literally nobody cares
1:06. I noticed all the tornadoes were pretty much moving in the same direction. Fascinating.
Hey Jake! Great video and amazing video on your incompetence in cooking
