- Surveillance cameras at Prairie Creek Elementary School in Andover, Kansas, captured an EF-3 tornado as it struck the school and a nearby YMCA on April 29, 2022. No students were in the building when the tornado struck, and no one lost their life in the Andover community. The Prairie Creek building sustained substantial damage in the storm.
HUGE shoutout to andover public schools for putting this together, for posting it and for enabling comments on their video. Definitely appreciate it. Most public school districts wouldn't do all that, especially allowing comments.
Glad no one was hurt.
The recommended section is thankful and will come back soon

I think the most terrifying display here is the fact that the storm was able to physically drag a car away like it was nothing.
I was expecting to move maybe 5-10 feet, but it got dragged clear off frame and even further beyond that. That's actually crazy.
that was also just a small passenger car. I've seen tornado's derail trains and pick up 18 wheelers. Their force is truly humbling.
It actually turned the car over if you look close it’s wild how strong it was
Mother Earth is stronger than any life or object.
Can I get a timestamp for it? I can't see it :)
It got dragged away while the tree that waited nothing stayed put.
It's not the wind that gets you, it's the debris. The sparks flying everywhere shows how forceful the collisions are.
Agreed BUT, Even without debris. That wind will f you up too.
@@vinizuh yeah, just look at how the car got flipped over effortlessly
2:33 those debris for across that yard in less than a second, demonstrating the wind speed as well as how far debris moves
What you call, sparks flying, is probably flashes from power lines being cut, transformers blowing out, and lighting strikes. There may be some metal, on metal; sparks, but these would be tiny, in comparison. In past decades, the debris flying around the funnel, was considered to be birds; as photography, and film footage; improved, this was found to be building debris.
As far as wind is concerned, it is difficult, almost impossible; to stand up in a Category 1 Hurricane. These winds have four times that amount of force; it turns fence posts, and metal fence posts, into spears, and battering rams, and signs, and sheet metal, into guillotines, that can cut a person, in half. Also, don't take shelter, in a freeway underpass; the wind turns these, into wind tunnels (see incident, on I-35); and even people, who wedged themselves, between the underside of the bridge, and the underpass sidewall, were sucked out, and badly injured, or killed.
Those are transformers exploding big timer lolol
This footage is incredible, I cannot believe how clear it is. I’ve never seen the “inside” of a tornado like that. Seen a lot of car get pushed by strong wind but never ones that have gotten sucked into something that is bananas
They don’t mention Kansas as apart of “Tornado Alley” for nothing
I did not see any bananas.

@@seriouscat2231 I think Grace meant to put a period After the word "something", and start a new sentence.
Hands down the best tornado footage I've ever seen in terms of up close destruction, the variety of angles, and video resolution. My desire to see one of these in person has been quenched. I don't want to get anywhere near this force. It would be like standing in a food processor and getting cut to shreds by debris.
I agree
Great Words.
There's better ones
@@steveseger5642 Didn't you see the vehicle, a large pickup truck to be exact, get blown around by the wind as though it were a feather?
@@ralphjames1211 HE Must be high this is some of the craziest footage ive seen too
I hope everything and everyone is ok, but shout out to the tree for literally going through it and still standing strong.
Особо впечатлили летающие автомобили.
There is a parable that tells about the lessons of bamboo, but trees in general teach us this "- the bamboo remains standing because it had the wisdom to bend in the time of the storm... and that we try to be flexible in the face of the solutions that life presents us."
everything does not look ok
The description said no one died, so that's good :)
@@lwhitted6635 bugs exist
What's insane to me is that the vortex is so clearly defined even at ground level, this thing was insanely tight-wrapped compared to a lot of tornadoes. I don't think I've ever seen footage like this before, where you can physically see it sweep across the camera's field of view.
I wa thinkinh the same, it's impressing yet terrifying
And amazing see how it sucks/pulls everything towards it.
😱
Yeah you could literally see the outline of it moving along the ground. Incredible vid
the might of wind and air is not to be trifled with.
tornadoes are always a reminder of how powerful and destructive the force of what is always around us is, air.
I was so focused on watching that poor little tree hanging on for dear life that I almost missed the building across the field just explode. How anyone could survive that kind of hit is a miracle.
I was so focused on the trees, I had to go back to see what everyone was talking about.
Horrifying to see what can be done in just a couple of minutes to years of hard work. And these events are only going to get worse.
With regard to the trees (gardener here, so that's why my focus was on the trees), I think it's time that authorities planted bands and blocks of lower growing shrubs and bushes that would better tolerate getting whipped about like that.
Many shrub species would have excellent survivability in the eye of such an event.
In addition, hedgerows can provide a shelterbelt against 'normal' windy weather to a height of 30 times the height of the hedge. Of course, a hedgerow would do nothing to save the school here, but at least they would have stayed in the ground fairly intact.
Wow! I’m going to have to go back and rewatch, did not see building explode, busy watching tree. Lol
How could anyone survive. If the tornado sirens sounds then people have time to seek adequate cover. Andover tornado sirens did work on April 29, 2022. They say on April 26, 1991 they even had a more powerful tornado but the sirens failed to work so many people had no warning.
I also was watching the tree, and thus missed what happened to the little SUV in the parking lot. I had to go back to see when it disappeared.
SAME
It is amazing how much 5-15 seconds of intense wind can destruct, without issue. Seeing the cars just glide/roll really was a great aspect in this video to show the sheer force.
why the cars more powerful than the building like damnnnnn
@@samuellhot616 im sure someone can give you a lengthy explanation
@@5446isnotmynumber aha! I've found you dislike button!
And yet some cars in the distance didn't move at all.
@@beautyforashes2022 its the camera... Don't u ever forget that cameras or cameraman never never die
Love the progression of this video through all the different cameras, especially after seeing a different one of the same event tearing off roofs, and knowing that was what was strewn all over the school.
Just going to point out something that may of already been pointed out.
This footage is in fact some of the best footage of this tornado and of tornados in general. This can be used as educational and scientific material.
You have a clear example of Sucking power, Vortex power, Wind power, damage power and even fine examples of the dangers of Debris. I mean you can even see objects sparking on the ground like bullets.
It was great footage, I've never seen such great footage, angles, and clarity. Some say it looked pretty bad, being an EF-3, which it was. But compared to watching footage of hurricane Charlie (165mph winds) as it completely shredded a gas station/convenience store, and everything else, this was nothing. And unlike a tornado, Charlie didn't just blow past in a minute or so. It just kept on churning until absolutely nothing was left standing, for miles and miles. Never seen anything like it.
You can even see from different angles the varying wind speed on the left and right hand side of the tornado
Seriously? It looked like regular ol footage to me
@@jeremysmith9694 lol some of these people only hop on the internet for trendy footage. I think the Tuscaloosa footage and reed timmers recent drone footage plus reed in the dominator as he tornado goes over them is the best footage I've seen.
yeah, nice. great- then you move the fuck out of places like this
The power of nature and natural disasters never cease to amaze me. Truly incredible footage
Those are really good security cameras. Not only because of durability, but because of quality!
Edit: I posted this half asleep last night and woke up to 600+ likes. Jeeze, you all are awesome
I was thinking the same thing! Highest quality security footage I've ever seen!
And how did they stay connected to the wall 🤯
@Yippee Skippy The building held out pretty well what you mean?
Somewhere, a guy/gal who installed the cameras is patting themselves on the back, saying:
"Everyone else told me that I didn't need to use 2 inch screws. Well... who was right?"
Cameras? I want to know the manufacturer of the cafeteria windows! When the glass just comes out of place, but doesn't even crack?
Give me some of that!
TP Link makes great cameras that are inexpensive and reliable
I can’t fathom that THIS was an EF-3 tornado. Imagine what a 4 or 5 would be. My brain can’t comprehend. Thank you Kansas for showing what this storm looks like. Really informative to those of us outside tornado alley. We tend to think of tornadoes like Wizard of Oz fun ride to magical lands instead of blowing debris of death. Glad you were all safe.
I live on the west side of Wichita (Andover is on the east side) and have never seen anything like this personally in my 20+ years living here so it's just as crazy and interesting for a lot of us living here too
In my knowledge the difference between an F3 and an F4 tornado is that an F4 can flatten brick buildings. As someone who's lived through an F4 that school would not have a roof and certainly would not have cameras. I sincerely hope everyone is ok and that no one was seriously injured.
If you wanna see photos of a huge ass tornado, look up terrible tuesday (Wichita Falls tornado)
people think of wizard of oz when they imagine tornadoes?
Modern EF scale measures categories not only by sheer wind power, but also by damage done. Meaning that even if there was a mega-giga funnel touching somewhere in the fields of Alabama, demolishing a farm or two, it would still be an EF2 or 3; on the other hand, if a wimpy noodle goes down in the middle of a densely populated area and causes huge property damages and casualties, it may become EF4 or 5.
It’s insane that the air pressure difference sucked the windows and their frames off the building. This video has amazing potential as a learning tool. Massive props to the install techs who’s cameras caught this and Andover public schools for posting this.
I am really glad everyone is still alive after an EF-3 like that!
The fucking w h a t? This was an EF3!?
@@-OfficialAstro- yes this was weak compared to an EF5. The school would be gone and the foundation would be at ground level.
It sucked open the refrigerator and freezer doors too.
this is not EF-3. It was EF-4 for sure!!!
@@phoenix1453 no way. Definitely a Ef-3. That car barley even moves when the tornado hits it. An ef-4 would have thrown it yards away
0:25 what’s interesting about this is how strong nature can be. A car was dragged away but the trees resisted.
Ps: Guys of course trees have roots and cars don’t, it is still incredible cause trees grow to have a strong structure we don’t see even though they look so fragile, while cars are big and heavy but get dragged away so easily. Nature is extremely strong, a lot of fragile leaves have a stronger structure then a car and yes, it’s impressive.
Well it’s also got roots holding it in place unlike the car
the trees grow underground
no the car ..
Yeah but as you can see in later footage some trees were pulled out of the roots
Hi welcome to earth, hope you enjoy your stay.
@@joebidenshusband2836 A tree!? Roots!?!? Never heard of it! (Of course he knows the trees have roots)
Seeing this sheer destruction up close is horrifying. That car at one point just vanished. I'm really relieved to know nobody died, although my heart still goes out to those who were injured and lost all their homes, workplaces destroyed, etc.
Да они аутисты их не жалко, сами виноваты
Several people died...
@@fuadkattan6622 oh, I read that nobody had died, I guess I was wrong :(
@@fuadkattan6622 no lol ? 4 people were injured but that's it
@@fuadkattan6622 ура 🍻
At 3:40, you can still see the distant funnel cloud in the upper right-hand corner. Chilling.
It's just amazing how trees with such thin branches were still intact after the fact. Nature is destructive and powerful!
The majesty of God is seen in positive and negative of the World.
It really leaves u in awe.
Younger trees tend to fare decently well in tornados because there isn't as much surface area for the wind to push against as there would be on a larger tree trunk, and the young trunks are super flexible so instead of breaking apart like a mature tree would, the trunk is able to bend without snapping.
@@chasehim3761 Indeed
Those trees had strong roots!
@@BiologicalClock yeah when the cafeteria got wiped, saw that young tree still holdin! im guessing it just got a very bad shock so it either would die or take years to recover or whatever
Brilliant footage, the quality and resolution, combined with various angles makes for a great learning/study video. Glad everyone made it through this storm.
this video proves that you will overcome a tornado only if you're a surveillance cam
it's actually crazy how cars were being tossed by the tornado, that's really how strong it was, and how the cameras were still recording after the impact by the tornado
this tornado produced some of the most insightful videos about tornados ever... thank you for sharing
I feel so bad for the people's cars
and I'm so relieved that the students weren't at school. except for that one person who parked there
Mind blowing that all those young trees had a large enough root system to stay put. It’s one thing to hear how sturdy trees are, it’s another thing to witness cars flying away and they don’t so much as even snap.
Now I know why they say stay away from windows and doors. Not because of glass. But of being sucked outside into oblivion. 😳
that building just popped
Yeah I never realized a tornado can cause the effect of being sucked out of an airplane like in the movies
Find out who installed those cameras and give them a raise.
They will be easy to find. They'll all be at work early Monday morning beginning the cleanup process.
You should see the ones from Andover City Hall. The U.S. flag was tattered, but hung on by a thread. It sucked small trees out of the ground and into the tornado.
I think you mean " find out who installed those particular cameras and give them a raise."
@@ericnyamu9981 "those" implies "those particular" cameras. I think you meant to capitalize "find".
I grew up in a school about an hour away from here, and we were often instructed on what to do In case of tornado. Now I can see that if all the kids were in proper position under the tables there would be much protection from most of the chaos.
If there were kids in school, they were in hallways without windows, on their elbows and knees with their heads tucked and arms covering their heads and shoulders as close to the walls of the hallway as they could get. In the cafeteria scene, a huge window shattered and blew INWARDS. Kids can get sliced to ribbons by flying glass so you should get far away from windows and hopefully below grade.
We were never instructed to get under tables unless it was an earthquake or possible shooter. Tornados everyone goes in the hallways and sits along the walls. Lived in the Midwest my whole life lol
2:47 yeah, under the table is the best way to hide for sure
@@ericamcqueen5607 Yeah idk if they are being sarcastic or not lol, if they were under those tables they would've been ragdolled by the tables. To me the safest place looked like the playground lol, that stuff seemed sturdy
@@thatweirdanimalcrossingchick Grew up in Northern Illinois and fondly remember all those tornado drills and warnings.
I did appreciate how that first 2x4 slid in.
He was a trooper too, thought he was gonna survive the onslaught
I hope the children are okay ever since I've watched this video I've been praying for everyone We just seen in this video whole bunch of vehicles blown away so whoever installed the cameras in the school building should have a great compliment or four stars even
1:41 if you look right side middle, you can see something flies in at such a huge rate of speed it gouges a HUGE line into the cement pads.
Not to mention the car getting pelted with a bunch of stuff and sparks flying everywhere. The sheer kinetic forces and speeds at play here boggle the mind.
Honestly, would hate to imagine what would happen if those forces were applied to like, a body, flesh and bones. We ain't made of concrete. Always find shelter, fellas, always. You do not want to get close to that kind of force.
2:10 This is super scary. It goes from a 5 to a 200 in about .5 seconds. If you stood outside you’d like get killed by the amount of debris! Holy cow, this video is phenomenal!
What was that light blue circle that flashed in the top left of the screen?
@@Another_youtube_animator That’s probably the arcing from a transformer getting destroyed.
Thank you putting this video together and allowing us to see this up close and personal. Such a destructive force, so much damage so quickly! It just chews up everything in its way, then goes on its way. Amazing!
My teacher showed me this today. I rewatched it at home.
I read many of the comments, and before that while watching the videos from the parking lot, I wondered where the heck DID those cars go ?!? They clearly are nowhere in the photo frames afterward....WOW!
I think they're off to see the wizard
@@NPC-ro5io Yeah, they're in the Land of Oz now....I think one of them landed on a witch.
Wicked Witch of the East.... cause of death? Toyota dropped on her.
@@NPC-ro5io And they'll be back...with the good witch and Toto driving them home!
@@NPC-ro5io lol
Tornadoes have picked up cars, cows and rail cars and dropped them miles away. I remember a baby was found a mile away from his home completely unharmed. Growing up in tornado alley was not fun. Most of the time there are severe thunderstorms and you cant tell the difference between those and tornadoes. Also, its usually night time and once the tornadoes pass(we had 15 tornadoes in one night) We drive around and the streets are covered with green leaves from the trees, no electricity, lots of flooding and nobody ever seemed to get hurt which only added to the mystery.
You know the winds are strong when you see a parked car getting blown across the parking lot like it’s a cardboard box.
The car in the parking lot at 1:16 just flew off like paper. Thanks for sharing these detailed videos.
Why did I imagine myself hugging the tree and pushing against the tornado?!
It moved those vehicles like nothing as the tornado passed. Yet those little trees stood their ground. Simply amazing.
Trees have less surface area the wind can push against so they're pretty safe
I loved that! I was waiting to see if those tress broke but nope.
If you look closely, You could see the tornado and the fire in far top right corner. 3:42
Having survived a tornado, I can say that it's a terrifying ordeal. The pressure is unreal and can be felt by your whole body. You can see this pressure in effect when the tables are sucked toward the broken doors. It's crazy man.
The thing I remember most is how much the pressure- not the sound- hurt my ears. Felt like my ear drums were gonna bleed.
Very frightening description. Together with this video, gives one a new appreciation for tornado-free geographies
I wonder, if anyone has calculated the air pressure, inside of a Tornado vortex; I forget the exact figure, for a major Hurricane, but the air pressure, in the eye of the Hurricane, has been measured at about 28.75 inches of Mercury ("normal" air pressure, is around 30 inches).
i remember when I expirienced a hurricane. Our house would shake every time a tree fell down. Our backyard is still being worked on. There were mini tornados that killed all of our chickens. I was only 7
With every video I see of this event I am even more amazed no one was killed. Watching all of the debris flying through the air like so much shrapnel, you would think at least one person would have been struck by something. Just amazing!
Thank GOD.
I don’t know why but I never realized how much the tornado pulls towards it even after it’s left a path of destruction. The video where you actually see it go past the amount of debris still following behind it is astounding. 1:34-1:57
I'm glad you pointed that out-- I didn't realize that either. Mother nature is wild
The scariest thing is that you can see it sweeping away the car.
That car, that several-thousand-pound vehicle, just gets pulled *sideways* with it.
When debris is measured in tons...
@@shiftfire4511 Look at the top left at 1:10, There is another car that tumbles away as if it weighed nothing.
Incredible footage of the cars blown away and bins sucked out of the building.
1:16 Props to the benches for not flying away
1:30 the tornado had asked that person several times already not to park in it's spot, so the tornado took it upon itself to move the car to another location.
lol
This is amazing footage, the lack of observational audio opens up the viewers imagination of how loud it must’ve been in those environments.
Born and raised here in CA. My family is military and moved around quite a bit when they were younger before staying put in CA. Texas and the Carolinas is where they are all from. They have spoken of tornados before but I never got into details of how frightening they must be! This is the first time im seeing something like this! I just keep wondering how you survive that if you had a close encounter. Where do you go!? Cali girl here I guess and all we get is earthquakes which ive been in a 6.2 before and that was bad but it doesnt compare to this!!!
With that much force of the wind just blew away the cars away from the parking lot. Total mass destruction
It’s so creepy to see it pass by like that, and even more when you see it in the distance at 0:50.
Dude that was just nuts! Both those cars, the mini cooper was lifted straight up and was gone. The other car was dragged across the lot and just is gone.
Terrifying and so devastating.
And at the same time an amazing and beautiful phenomenon.
Sooooooo... Day off tomorrow?
1st yay
Those benches at 1:25 are built different
Yeah they’re bolted
Bro the fucking car went flying and the benches just… didn’t move
@@Another_youtube_animator The benches are bolted to the ground the car is not.
they are survivors 👹
Bench move
Most things seemed to be well secured. That was impressive!
1:39 watching how many sparks were in a humid environment, pieces of metal hitting the wet concrete/asphalt at a very low angle and still producing sparks....gives you an idea on the speed of those debris. Instant death if caught outside.
Bro that tree at the start stayed put props to whoever planted it
What really surprised me was natures ability to destroy, but also to hold onto life. That baby tree took on a tornado and had only a single branch loss... It was incredible.
well some people said that younger trees ahve flexible trunks and wouldnt break off like mature ones and wind doesnt have any surface area to blow off
The glass bowing @ 2:45 before the window blows out is incredible. Amazing footage.
“Oh no there’s a tornado”
The tree : “ 🎵🎶IM STILL STANDING”🎶🎵
This is some of the best tornado footage I've ever seen.
That being said, sorry for all the damage caused..
I have never seen this so up close before and I now have a lot more respect for the force of the wind. Wow!
1:16 For anyone who DOESNT know that camera turned red because it got damaged.
never thought I’d see a video from the school district I grew up in getting over 3 million views! glad this happened AFTER school hours and not during and that all the kids are safe.
I'm from Wichita but attended college in Andover last year! it's so interesting seeing this video getting so many view (5 million now)
The fact that you can see the houses and the background of the footage is already making me visualize kids scared for their life.I can’t imagine what the parents must feel for their kids 😭🥺
Cameramen never dies
3:43 Shoutout to the little tree that survived basically untouched while that mid-2000’s car was carried away like nothing.🤘
Its incredible how easy that thing just picked up the cars like they were nothing
Tornados are that powerful even if they are just an ef2
Tornadoes pack the strongest winds on the planet and can even reach 300 mph.
@@LITTLE1994 In ome case they were higher than that. Check out the tornado damage from the EF-5 in Philadelphia, MS frim 2011. The thing went as far as digging up 3 feet of dirt from the ground indicating those winds were likely well above F5 on the old F-scale.
@@LITTLE1994 you sure that ain't a typhoon or a hurricane? Lol
@@nya_243notanalternateaccou6 tornadoes have wind speeds higher than hurricane because of how much more localized they are. Like how tucking your arms in while spinning will make you spin faster. Also hurricanes can spawn tornadoes. Typically several tornadoes will form within a hurricane during its lifespan.
2:17 that car is gone lol. Only EF-3 and it sweeps a car off a parking lot. Yikes
You say that like a ef3 is weak
Tornado had a lumber service, was doing a big sale
Deals so cheap, it tore the windows down to tell you about em
Just holy hell
I've never seen ripples on the ground before. The power is terrifying. Thank God no one lost their life. My heart goes out to all of those affected by this tragedy.
And this is just EF-3. An EF-4 would send them airborne and an EF-5 would easily launch cars half a mile into the air.
oml. who knew tornados like that could take out the inside of the school even though it's outside-
We should build everything out of cameras.
This school system uses very good HD cameras and I and sure it not only aided the weather authorities in determining the strength status but also in insurance damage.
The real good cams are in the rest rooms
all the better to get footage of the next school shooting
We had a tornado on my farm once. It picked up the whole house, and I landed on a witch in a Technicolor land somewhere far from Kansas.
And my little dog, to!
Students not sorry for calculus teacher's car @ 2:05
Tornados are so fascinating to me. Just amazing at the physics and science behind it. Hope no one was seriously hurt in the surrounding areas.
I've never seen a tornado that clear through a video. It's as if I was there. And it's terrifying. I never want to go through that. I've seen a tornado form in the sky, from a funnel cloud to dropping down but thankfully it rose back up. Didn't stop the sky from being a lake-green color and extremely windy.
Just recently a few weeks ago, we had the tornado sirens go off 2 days in a row. Both days were deathly hot (which was random considering prior weather) then it would drop rapidly around 5pm and the winds would pick up. Not even kidding, the sky turned black and a few minutes and it was like hurricane weather. Actually I was once at the park (multiple blocks away from my house) and the tornado sirens went off. At the time I had no friends that lived even remotely close. I ended up getting picked up, but for like a 7 year old that's terrifying. You have to move quick when you hear the sirens. You have about a minute tops to listen and make sure it's the sirens then you run. Thankfully they leave as quick as they come in I can't even imagine hurricanes or tsunamis. Those scare me more then a tornado ever could.
I've got a few more tornado stories but I'll leave off with this one. It didn't really affect me, but I did have to go in the basement for it. A week or so after I ended up going to a neighboring large city where it hit mostly, and it was way more damage then I expected. One of the larger buildings roof feel into itself and all you could see was the debris. I didn't see the big part since they'd already cleaned up in that week. But the damage is terrible for something the lasts minutes.
In England we've been known to have dust devil's that have even been known to pick up leaves in a cone as high as 10 feet, so please remember you're not alone in these trying times. I just felt the need to say that.
This reminds me when I was in fourth grade, a hurricane hit my town. My entire backyard patio was torn off, the gateway at my mother’s workplace was torn off. Even a friend of mine was almost killed when a giant tree branch fell right near him (either that or he was bluffing as hell and just found the branch there after it collapsed) either way it was scary and the trees at the school are fucking huge so it would’ve still been a risk for anyone outside. However seeing this video makes that situation look like legos falling. This was insane
Was it the hurricane in Florida?
@@chainbreaker2362 No actually it was in California surprisingly
@@chainbreaker2362 In fact I still remember the exact date. I’m great at remembering certain dates
We watched this from Rose Hill and we knew the exact moment the YMCA got hit because the vortex went from white to VERY dark brown.
3:15 the poor janitors who will have to come in and clean that up.
proof that the camera man never dies..
3:22 I think what bothered me the most is that it left the fridge open.
Lol
✋🏾💀
that tornado has absolutely no manners smh
who raised it?
That little tree is amazing standing strong.
The trees of those places are familiar with tornadoes
This video gives a lot of idea, what could have happened?
Now, we can relate to it. Thankfully no one got hurt. My Prayers goes to everyone who got affected by this Tornado.
What amazes me the most is the amount of shrapnel, didnt think there would be that much.. this was an f3 eh? wow...
Wow, this is some amazing footage and an excellent example of why you *do not* want to be inside of a vehicle during a tornado.
being in a car driving away asap would probably be good if you get to it in time, but not to wait it out no chance
@@appleOgreen Definitely, but what I find terrifying is that these things can sometimes move at 60-70 mph and they can change direction in a split second. I guess it depends on how close you are to the tornado. I only hope I'll never be in a position where I have to make that judgement call.
@@Marcus_1001 60-70? That's nothing. They go up to 300 mph.
@@catherinelw9365 That's the wind speed of the tornado. I'm talking about how fast they move along the ground. That's a totally different thing.
Same thing with the chairs and trashcan. Whoever installed those must be pretty smart. The car got lifted up before them.
Fire alarm in cafeteria: Flashing
Tornado: SAY GOODBYE
Thanks for sharing this. I hope the scientific community can use this excellent footage to further their studies
I'm sorry for anyone who left their _____ in there
It's amazing how pressure makes a huge difference when it comes to the inside of a building. Those doors in the cafeteria popped out due to the pressure. Something you can fix by allowing vents and even a window to open automatically to even out the pressure. All homes should be made to withstand natural disasters like hurricanes and tornados.
Not all homes, but I've never understood why people don't build with concrete in these areas. The cost of concrete is pricier, but after rebuilding multiple times, it's gotta be more pricy
@@booworkman7293 It's an actuarial calculation for the district. The chances of getting hit by a tornado and suffering critical damage are low enough that weaker materials make more sense than bunkers.

Все постройки на западе из гавна и палок.
И ещё других учат жизни.
У нас в РФ по такой технологии только курятники строят. Или дачи
You can almost hear the screeching and clanking from the cafiteria tables
For those that think you can watch from a few hundred feet or even 1/4 mile away...now you know even a small tornado like this one can still get you. It surprised me that even the close to the center of the vortex it was so random. Some small trees just bent over briefly while heavy were shoved and rolled like a giant kicked them. The visible damage afterwords wasn't even close to how deadly it was in reality. The room off the cafeteria looked like the only safe place; due to the metal pull-down.
Many people have watched tornadoes from a quarter mile away. They were F1's though. And this video wouldn't exists if this were an EF5. The strength of a tornado is the most important aspect. I'd hardly call this EF3 a "small tornado".
this was a strong strong tornado. the damage was extensive.. but point taken.
The janitor who worked after hours the night before: NANI?!?
1:45 There's some cloth material caught on the bike rack and for a split second it looks like the top half a person holding on. That scared me
That refrigerator @2:50, hilarious, looks like me when I get a bad case of the munchies.
