  • Anyone who watched tornado documentaries from the 90s knows that this particular tornado was frequently used as a case study in analysis due to how widely captured by video it was. Gonna make the big claim that this tornado also holds the landmark as the first tornado in history where over a half an hour of its lifespan was continuously recorded on video - which I intend to demonstrate with this project.
    A schema of deductive reasoning was used to line up the various angels that this storm was filmed from - much of the process was made more easily by lining up the familiar contours and shapes of the funnel itself as it evolved.
    29 different videos - all from varying perspectives - are featured here. Many of these videos were uploaded in full to TH-cam, but many of them can only be found in short snippets from various news reports or educational programs. Locating and archiving many of these original videos has been challenging, but I hope to create a more comprehensive project like this once more videos come out of the woodwork.
    This project took a lot of tedious work, and I don't expect it to all be perfectly aligned (there's at most a 5-second margin of error), but I hope you enjoy the effort anyway.

    I had seen a lot of these clips in different tornado documentaries over the years (particularly the McConnell AFB video, and the one full frame at 13:20 as it tore through the mobile home park). While I knew the videos were all from the same outbreak, I had no idea that they were all literally of the same tornado.
    It's frightening how this tornado shrinks to a seemingly harmless rope around the 14:00 mark, only to regrow into a killer wedge again in a matter of minutes.

    This tornado hit on the same night that Dinosaurs premiered on ABC

    Excellent video! Could you do another video like this, but with the Bridge Creek/Moore Oklahoma tornado from May 3rd, 1999 with all of the clips from that day?

      I've heard about that too. Apparently, legend has it that if you see that in a tornado, it means someone's going to die if they're not taking precautions to protect themselves

      @@wmavfacebookstyle There is truth to that legend, it's mostly from violent tornadoes that feature this kind of structure, and they are deadly.

      @@iceresistance yep. And once it was done in south Wichita and the Haysville area, along with the air base, it would leave a third of the 4,300 residents of Andover homeless, destroy 300 homes, 10 businesses and two churches and level the Golden Spur Mobile Home Park and the St. Vincent De Paul Catholic Church before it left town

      @BOS37631 definitely. I also once heard a survivor story from someone who lived in the mobile home community that got obliterated. Joe Parsley had been at home when he heard the police sirens warning everyone of the approaching tornado. When he saw the tornado was moving too quickly for him to join his fellow residents in the community storm shelter, he rode the storm out underneath his pickup truck. His home was destroyed, and he was left badly injured when the F5 slammed the truck on top of him, but him and his dog made it through the tornado alive.

      Rapid vortex development and dissipation and redevelopment at that stage means it is organizing. So once you see that vortex spawn out of nowhere, it just needed to widen its core.

    I've had my share of tornadoes in New England. Several times twice going to the store, again in a parking lot, 3 small ones Father's Day one forming over store I'd just left, and 4 more on a Saturday in June.I thought thunderstorm,so I turned on the tv, and when it said TORNADO WARNING, I woke my son, who grabbed kitty.I was put kitty down,if she wants to come she will.

    I’ve watched a couple hundred tornado videos. Seems there’s always a wife crying and screaming at the man to “come on NOW!” but the man just shushes her and keeps watching. A real man would already be preparing and protecting his family, instead of videoing and tempting fate…

      Especially when it’s an F5. The Greensburg EF5 sucked people right out of their basements. Tornadoes are no joke.
