FINALLY!! A new tornado documentary that isn’t copy and paste! You can only watch the same footage of the same tornadoes so many times before it gets redundant. Amazing documentary! Thank you!
Finally, someone said it! 🙌 I was starting to think I was the only one getting tired of the same old tornado footage being recycled over and over. This new documentary really hit the spot-fresh, intense, and definitely not the same old story. It’s about time we got something new to sink our teeth into! 🌪 Can’t wait to see what they come up with next. What do you think they should tackle next? 👀
He knew what he was doing. He hasn't been killed or injured yet, and the enthusiastic little youtuber shouldn't have came along with them if he was the type to panic so easily.
This is a wonderful documentary that should be seen by anyone with an interest in severe weather, including forecasting as well as economic and social effects.
Jordan is a storm chaser who regularly goes out and films tornadoes, and selling the footage is how he makes money. His friend asked to go with him, and then wanted to freak out even though the tornado was far away. That audio was not from that video, plus they added in different audio with it. That's extremely deceptive and I don't like how they did that.
This was only the fault of the person who decided to go with him KNOWING what he does. This person ruined a once in a lifetime moment for him and honestly should have known better
@@JoshuaGrisewood There were more than 1 guy pleading to this douche to get them out. Jordan's a professional. He could have said no, but he agreed to give the tour holding him responsible for their safety. Even if they signed liability waivers, Jordan would still be held accountable. Either don't agree to tours, or you listen to your customers and get them away when they ask.
I lived in tornado Alley in OKC for 5 years. Almost every night in late spring, summer and fall, we had severe thunderstorm warnings that can produce dangerous lightning, hail, and tornadoes with little warning. We often had tornado watches and warnings. We spent so much time in the storm shelter, that put a couch, a light, a TV, and toys down there. We had bags by the back door, ready to grab. I was chased from Manford to Tulsa when I was a kid, my stepdad was driving. With power lines bouncing and sparking all around us, he headed to the keystone dam. The only way home. We couldn't see outside the windows, I don't know how he drove, but we raced to try to get ahead of the storm, all while I was screaming and begging him to go back. But he kept going, and when we got to the keystone dam, everything was suddenly still. If was eerie. Then I noticed the clouds on the left of the car were going one way, and the clouds on the right of the very were going around us the other way. Just then, the radio announced there was a tornado on keystone dam and to not go there! I started screaming again and my dad just floored it. I watched the tornado form right behind us and head our way. If was terrifying We kept pace with it and finally outran it. When we got to Tulsa, the skies were blue and sunny. It was so weird! But we weren't home for long before the tornado came to town and damaged our home while we were in the bathtub under pillows. We didn't have a storm shelter. But we all came out alive! Yes, I have PTSD. 😁
Yeh and maybe get an external hard disk where you have digitalized your old photos and important documents on just in case. Then it would be easy to carry / start up at any library or pc, and doesnt take much space.
@@steve32627 That sucks! You cant really do much more than be prepared though. You could maybe even put it in water proof casing and add 1 of those moist reducers in there to make sure. But I mean, how far do you want to go....
Jordan also gonna have both of wrists and hands double maybe even triple zip-tied to his main accessories in his hand [cell phone] or his own personal necessities, (his choice lol), over in the back seat of the passenger side [right] area only. No abilities to grab the steering wheel, in absolutely any kind of way, shape or form, whatsoever, either! hahaha 😂😂😂
Looks like Jordan's been demoted to permanent passenger status! 😂 After that close call, it’s probably for the best. Let’s hope he learns to enjoy the view from the passenger seat and leaves the wild stunts to someone else. Safety first, right? 🚗🌪
I see where you're coming from-maybe Jordan's just really passionate about what he does, and that can be admirable. But it’s also important for him to balance that passion with keeping his friends safe. A great friend knows when to push the limits and when to step back. Hopefully, he’ll learn to do both! 🌪👍
He chose to go with him KNOWING very well what Jordan does. Come on now this was the only chase ever some random dude was with him that shouldn't have been. NOT HIS FAULT
@@JoshuaGrisewoodyeah you keep posting this everywhere. Professional storm chasers absolutely need to still be safe and not get in over their heads by pushing the risk. Storm chasers have died by choosing not to ignore common sense and push their risk too far
This was a great video. Im so glad Plaza Towers rebuilt with a storm shelter inside. My niece went to that school. I was heartbroken when those babies didnt make it home.
A friend of mine, their mom owns a store in Sulphur. The tornado 🌪 took out the whole back wall of not just her store, but many others. All the front windows were blown out. Another store was wiped out,and the house right behind it. The fella bought the property behind, and he is building a new store. It's going to take many years to rebuild. Alot of people that had brought their heavy equipment into town to help clear downed trees,and blocked roads. My friend still has his bulldozer in Sulphur to help whenever needed. Have a great day my friend, and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️🌪⚡️.
I watch Cross Timbers Bison on youtube. He lives near there. His mom lost her business too. He had a video about the Sulpher Tornado. I could believe all that damage!!
I use y'all radar app every single time i go out to film thunderstorms and it never fails me not once. Thank you all soo much for y'all work and weather radar app. 👍👍👍 There is not a day or night I go out filming without it
This was unexpectedly excellent. I've been watching tornado videos for 20 plus years; this one brought a new perspective and great storytelling. Thanks, MyRadar from a subscriber for a couple of years now. I'm so sorry for the good people of Sulphur, OK. What happened to their town is heartbreaking and I hope they can build back.
I know basements or underground shelters are impractical in many places, or simply too much to maintain (water pumps and dehumidifiers, etc), but honestly, what has stopped the entire midwest and South all this time from including one large, central closet, made of reinforced concrete and a solid door, in all homes? Cost cutting and negligence at its finest. You can't tell me one tiny but solid room in the middle of the house is too much to include. Concrete is already needed for the foundation and driveway, what's a little more for peace of mind? Instead of trying to reinvent the entire home (which is still a good thing, don't get me wrong), why not make a safe location in the house to preserve lives and keep important documents safe? This has always baffled me. My own parents' home is L-shaped with no interior room, and all their bathrooms have a window or a skylight. Every time a storm rolled in, it was a sobering thought that we had NOWHERE to go. I am glad that building codes are finally being updated. Feels like watching seatbelts finally becoming normal, all over again.
When my daughter and her husband built their house they built a saferoom/laundry room. I don't think it cost them ten of thousands of dollars to a safe area
In a perfect world yes. Lots of people are like myself and can’t afford to build a house much less one with a safe room,Hence the mobile home. Many lives are in danger due to this situation.
@@loriessing5275 as part of new construction a properly designed and certified shelter will cost around $5,000-$6,000. Adding a storm shelter like the type that you bury in the ground outside your house is very easily going to run you $8,000-$10,000. The cost of doing something isn't just the raw materials but the labour and the equipment to do so. If you're doing new construction like your daughter and her husband than the costs of renting equipment plus the labour to install are negligible, you likely already have an excavator rented, you are already paying for the crew of people, the material costs are nothing when factored into the cost of the rest of your house. Now if you are just adding a shelter, a small excavator will run you around $1,000 to rent, fuel, and pay the deposit on. Do you know how to use it? Skilled operators depending on location are anywhere from $20 an hour to $40 an hour. and that's just to dig the hole. How about the soil? not free to get rid of it, you'd think it would be but its not.
In a lot of these smaller communities, especially ones that are nowhere near any urban areas, a great deal of the housing stock is pre-WW2. Newer homes are seldom built there because real estate prices don't justify the costs of building. You can't install safe rooms in houses that don't get built to begin with. A lot of existing small town homes are also rental property and like most rental property the landlord is only going to maintain what they have to.
You raise a really valid point! It’s baffling that with all the tornadoes and severe weather in the Midwest and South, more homes don’t have a reinforced safe room. It seems like a no-brainer-one small, solid room could make all the difference during a storm. The cost can’t be that prohibitive compared to the potential for saving lives. It feels like a mix of cost-cutting and maybe a lack of foresight. Peace of mind should definitely be a priority when building homes in these areas.
Jordan was the only one paying attention. He could see exactly which direction it was moving. I would rather have someone calm and collected than people who are completely freaking out handling things
That was a fascinating documentary. I really liked it. It showed basically, how they formed, and showed the actual tornadoes. It showed the damage caused by the tornadoes, and the science behind tornadoes, and detecting tornadoes, and finally rebuilding after the tornadoes. The safety factors in rebuilding was what I have been wondering about the last couple years. When you hear the chasers and and meteorologists say, you're not safe above ground, that really caught my attention. Because these stronger, sometimes larger, tornadoes, have killed, and injured, lots of people. I've read comments from people saying that they have no basements in some towns. And some homeowners decided to have shelters dug into the ground. I believe that some are prefabricated, then installed, but they're pretty expensive. So I had been thinking since they're going to keep forming and hitting whole towns, the time to build safer, is after the storm has been long gone, and with new data gathered, like with the winds, and what they can take down, it's extremely important to know how to build better, to withstand the winds. I'd like to see those newer standards adopted in tornado prone areas, and new construction, going forward, and the government helping where they can too. Like in helping fund installing the prefabed underground shelters for individuals w/o a basement. Maybe through one time tax breaks from the federal government. I was also thinking about the 15 minutes warning. 🌪️ That some town shelters be built also. That could come from infrastructure package improvements. To build shelters where there's one like 15 -20 miles away from most citizens. Like a public places malls and restaurants schools and local government buildings, and police and fire dwellings. To give people a place of safety to go to in a weather emergency.
I can tell them what the winds are like in the lowest 50 feet of a tornado. They’re surreal, they’re unpredictable, they’re non-linear, they’re multi-gradient based, and the sensory phenomena that one experiences during them will never be forgotten -not even in your dreams.
It's a shame that they didn't mention the Chickasaw nation stepping up to help rebuild Sulphur They had Artisian Hotel and also communication center for that area.
It's very, very important to remember that Tornado Alley is somewhat of an outdated idea and they really occur everywhere east of the Rocky Mountains. Oklahoma does have a lot of tornadoes, but so does the southeast, places such as Mississipi, Alabama, and Tennessee. The largest tornado outbreak of all time occured there, producing over 300 tornados and dozens of intense ones in a single day. The damage from the Sulpher tornado is devestating obviously, but they can be so much stronger. If the tornado had been an EF5, most of those buildings would be completely obliterated and cleaned off their foundations.
Traditionally described Tornado Alley came back with a vengance this spring. As far as what part of the country gets the worst tornadoes, the NWS has a page showing all F5/EF5 tornadoes back to 1950. Thirteen are shown across the Dixie Alley states. Oklahoma and Kansas alone also have thirteen, so that argument is pretty much a wash. Why tornadoes in the southeast perhaps get wilder and deadlier is the fact that closer access to the Gulf of Mexico means they have more moisture to work with and warmer temperatures mean they don't tend to have a preferred and somewhat predictable time of day or year like their plains states cousins. They happen after dark more often, are often rain wrapped, and go through terrain that is hillier, more wooded, more densely populated and where people have less access to adequate shelter.
@josephbright3946 yes every state has seen one but they are much rarer to the west of the Rockies. Tornado Alley is the area that tends to have the most favorite conditions but it doesnt always play out that. The Southeast is also known as Dixie Alley and gets just as many. But every state on this side gets them and more often than the west side. The 1974 Super Outbreak stretched across the entire Ohio River Valley. The point isn't that tornadoes never happen west of the Rockies, it's that anyone to the east should be ready for one, not just Tornado Alley. Even in places like the northeast. Or Michigan. Or Florida. 4 of the 9 EF5's in history happened in Dixie Alley, not Tornado Alley. Thinking you shouldn't be worried about tornadoes just because you don't live in Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, or Iowa is a bad idea.
@@reaIixx What makes tornadoes in both Dixie Alley and the Ohio Valley so deadly is also the fact that these states are very densely populated. The plains are massive states with an overabundance of extremely large, open land. The tornadoes in Dixie and the Ohio Valley also move fast and erratically, and while there are plenty of tornadoes that also move fast in the plains (it's all up to the storm mode, after all), they are far more likely to sneak up on you in the heavily wooded and hilled Southeast and Ohio Valley.
@@dannyllerenatv8635I live in the Ohio valley and I have to say once you hit Belmont county in Ohio the terrain is different. You enter all the foothills and 20 minutes away is wheeling wv where you have bigger hills. The terrain is awful, nobody has a flat yard but drive 30 minutes away it’s all flat and open plains. The hills could easily be mistaken for mountains. 1-70 interstate has what’s called “2 mile hill” that is so steep, semi trucks greatly underestimate it, and break down constantly there. Not only is the terrain so hilly that seeing a tornado is merely impossible, but we have the Ohio river which can amplify its speed and many creeks. We have had 2 tornadoes since 2019, one in st clairsville ohio, and another in Dallas WV, luckily both were in country areas, missing people. If it was just 4 miles into the city then 40k ppl would have been at risk. What I’ve noticed about this valley area, is that we don’t get tornados. Or any severe weather. Ever. Even the ones that hit lasted merely a moment. The ones that hit were nothing like the ones you see on TV. It didn’t even have a visible funnel. However, I say this all to make this point clear, if we would ever be hit with a devastating tornado, there would be no rebuilding. Our cities are already dying, they play no significance in today’s society, and were made from the old America before interstates and car travel.
It is easy to say " build stronger more tornado resistant homes and buildings. Yet, the truth is that approach is very expensive. More expensive than most people can afford.
Idk why they threw in Jordan Hall's video at the beginning with no context, but here's the longer clip if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/pxhLw9E2V5s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T7lcim-CmsgTAuMn Jordan is a storm chaser with a TH-cam channel, he makes money filming tornadoes. Those other people in the car ASKED TO COME WITH HIM on a chase, and then once they see a tornado they want to absolutely spazz out like that. If I was Jordan I would've told that dude to call an Uber, like wtf you asked to come with and now you want me to leave?? Jordan knows what he's doing, obviously the tornado wasn't coming at them. Again, they asked to come with him on a chase! Also, idk what that guy is talking about... on April 27th, there was a LOT of tornadoes that touched down throughout the day.
@@VinceP1974 I'm sorry if this sounds insensitive, but if you aren't someone who is comfortable being that close to a tornado, then you have no business willfully accompanying a storm chaser. There is nothing wrong fearing tornadoes, it's a perfectly normal response to a natural disaster. However, If you still *WANT* to see a tornado you should understand the inherent dangers and what situation you will be putting yourself into. You can't scream and tell a ballsy but *professional* storm chaser (whose entire motive is to get as close as they can to good footage) to move just because *YOU* are uncomfortable, you just don't ride with them. The youtubers that were there with him ultimately put themselves in that situation for clicks, which is why I can't feel too much sympathy.
As an Okie that went through the 99 Moore, 03 Moore, 13 El Reno and others, I felt this. I’ve used My Radar to skirt storms and tornados for years. Thank you My Radar
Someone genius once said tornado's don't follow water,...In 2004 a small Village of about 800 people, Utica, ILLINOIS, of which is birthed next to the ILLINOIS RIVER,... There was an EF 4, it collapsed a 150 year old sand stone building and took 8 lives, was the worst, and at least three or four more trekking through nearly the same path of trajectory, with in ten to twelve years,... Hard to understand these storms adequately with the right attitude enough to deal with the devastating reality,... The feeling of hopeless and helpless control, when events move rapidly violently, to a complete stop, conditions of how to regroup are not totally known,... So, yes any help of technologies is a wish shot, but should be added to the box of tools to help strengthen people in a chance to better survive, cope with better knowledge,...🙂🇺🇸💯%✔️🌍🌎
I became fascinated by tornadoes after the July 15 tornado in Chicago area. Even tho this was pretty "mild" (EF-1) compared all the monsters like in Moore, Tuscaloosa, Joplin etc. it was still scary experience especially since I've never experienced one before. There were few tornado warnings in the past 12 years since I live here, but it never actually lead to one or to that intensity. It was little after 9pm and I was in a nearby supermarket when everyone's phones started making the emergency warnings and the sirens followed within a minute. I quickly got in my car and started driving home, thankfully I live 2 min away from the store, but on my way the whole sky was filled with giant lightnings. It was so calm, even too calm, no wind no nothing (like they say "the calm before the storm") and you hear multiple sirens from every direction, it was so haunting. I started putting things from the backyard in the garage and inside the house so it doesn't blow them away. Then after few min, literally within 1 second the wind and rain hit like a train. I was at least on the porch about to go inside my house at that moment, but I felt the power of nature for that 1 second, even in that short amount of time I was fully soaked like I just got out from a pool with my clothes on. Then the electricity in the whole neighborhood got down. I could see in one direction the sky being red and flickering like it's on fire. I learned after that there was electric fire right at the store I was in less than 20 minutes before that. Thankfully no damage to my home, only destroyed my vegetable garden, but hearing the wind hitting the walls was scary and I was constantly on edge. I can't imagine being in an EF-4 or EF-5 tornado and what all the people went thru who witnessed that.
I'm curious as to whether the phased array radar system has the same distance limitations as the current doppler and if switching to that system would close our current radar gaps or create a whole new host of radar gaps.
Man I would NEVER EVER EVER JAVE ANOTHER human being and life in my car scared like that and wanting to leave and just sit there and not leave. I never want to be the reason anyone's would feel the fear and terror that guy is begging Jordan to leave. I would have had to knock him out o to a good sleep and would have got right behind that wheel and took his car myself if he wouldnt leave with me literally on fear for my life because a tornadoe is coming rt at me
Really, really appreciate a documentary with fresh studies, info, and footage. Having bulldozers arrive a few weeks later isn’t something I would have guessed at, though it seems like it should have been obvious.
@@kippnovak9833 at 3:50 the video says something like “home of the national weather center-nobody knows more about severe weather”. I had to rewind back to listen once I saw this comment 😂 I freakin LOVE Ryan Hall! The only TH-camr I pay to subscribe to
People defending Jordan with "he's a storm chaser". So what? Even storm chasers need to follow safety precautions and not pull dumb stunts. Chasers have actually died that way
@@commiehunter733they weren’t in immediate danger. the one pleading was from the nelkboys and was scared shitless. jordan hall has been chasing for years.
Overall, good video. It would have been nice to feature Reed Timmer, a chaser who has earned his PhD and runs science with chase thrills. It'd good you emphasized home shelters. However, a recent storm (EF-4 I think) ripped off the roof and doors of some home shelters. The lesson is that not all shelters are created equal and perhaps some tornadoes can defeat any shelter. You didn't have time to address the issues of heavy debris blocking shelter exits or air vents. BTW, I watched the trailer for Twisters. It should be as embarrassing a caricature of scientists and chasers as Twister was. P.S. Did you not mention Moore's 1999 F=5 because it did not engender any code changes?
Finally not the same old footage I’ve seen a million times. Love how these guys researching and studying tornados say they can’t connect tornados with climate change but these democrats are going around saying they are getting worse because of climate change. I know who I’m listening to and it’s not politicians or CNN.
Or just maybe go with people who are WUSSIES (I would use a more appropriate term but YT won’t let me). I would LOVE to go chase with Jordan! I’ll never understand people who CLAIM they want to chase but then only want to chase MILES AWAY FROM THE STORM. I mean damn, JIM BOB from OKLAHOMA has MORE COURAGE than most of these so called “Storm Chasers”!! Jordan is one of the few who has the BALLS TO GET CLOSE TO THESE TORNADOES!!! As a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran, I would have NO PROBLEM/FEAR of getting close to these storms because as an Atheist I am NOT afraid of death like most of these theists, which never made sense to me. They believe in a “heaven” and yet they act as though deep down they know death is the end (and it is) instead of just another step like they CLAIM!!

One of the options for warning devices, is the tornado siren. Personally, I know they work and work well. But we live in a town/ county in Tennessee that doesn't have any. I wonder how I can convince the area to invest in them. The area we live in has seen 3 tornadoes in the 25 years we've lived here.
Basically it's a town people live in but drive to a larger city for work because locally there's few jobs available beyond farming, a few merchants, the local hospital, the schools and local government.
@@scarpfishThe fact that there are Americans represented in this documentary as being abandoned and in desperate need of financial support, makes this argument of using our tax dollars to help our own citizens a very valid and important issue. Snarky unhelpful replies are simply hurtful and unnecessary and should be kept to oneself.
In February 2014, PBS NewsHour science and space correspondent Miles O'Brien lost his left arm above the elbow in an accident while on assignment in the Philippines: A heavy case of television equipment fell on O'Brien's forearm, causing a bruise The following night, O'Brien's pain increased and he sought medical attention He was diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome, a condition where swollen muscles block blood flow in the arm Two days after the accident, a doctor recommended emergency surgery to relieve pressure and numbness During surgery, O'Brien lost blood pressure due to complications of compartment syndrome and his arm was amputated.
This intro .... all I can think is .. " but did you die? .. So... shhhhhhh " I'll never understand the nervous yelling, chatter, repeating words... Amazing what stress and personality will cause people to do .. even if they are use to a scenario. It's almost a study in psychology .. more than weather.
Oh, people of Oklahoma, My prayers go to you. But before y'all elect people who will pull apart the federal government, think about footing the bill for 100% instead of 25%, EVERY TIME A TORNADO HITS. The fed sucks, but rugged individualists sure ain't coming to help. Ever...
22:45 yeah you say that until “The Cloud” CRASHES and you lose EVERYTHING and you don’t have a backup. Oh, and NO I don’t have a “cloud” with important information on it. I have some of my photos on it but if I lose them, oh well. I don’t even have a computer/laptop/tablet. I don’t care about technology. I’m a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran, I grew up WITHOUT most technology. In fact I didn’t even have a computer until after I left for the military in ‘05.
Jordan is a professional chaser that knows all the risks. He wouldn't put himself, or anyone else in unnecessary danger. If you (understandably) frreak out like that in a scary situation, then trust the expert. The expert wasn't scared, because he had no reason to be.
@2011Jwrp I do not see lead time as being for whether a person stays down in the shelter but rather to give persons time to get somewhere safe. Remember some folks maybe disabled, elderly, alone with no help, etc.
People have to stop thinking "lead time" with the perception that everyone is home, that the shelter is six steps away and that they have no other considerations other than to get themselves in it. Some folks live in inadequate shelter they have to abandon like mobile homes, or they may have to gather children or pets. Others might be working outdoors, are in transit or have a mobility impaired friend/relative across town. If you had a tornado warning an hour in advance but don't see one imminent (and you probably wouldn't) you're welcome to stay out of shelter until the sky starts looking ominous.
I am sorry but i don't see how a wooden structures is going to be tornado proof even if you make metal plates ("hurricante straps") mandatory around the perimeter. Thing is, wood breaks more easily than other materials if you apply enough force.
hes a storm chaser, and those people ASKED to come with him and they got extremely scared and spazzed out when they saw a tornado, while on a storm chase they asked to come on.
FINALLY!! A new tornado documentary that isn’t copy and paste! You can only watch the same footage of the same tornadoes so many times before it gets redundant. Amazing documentary! Thank you!
Well to be fair theres only so much tornado footage that exists but still yeah

Jordan sounds like an awful friend.....to not listen to his buddies. Video of a tornado up close is NOT worth lives.
He was caught in Medusa's gaze...
@@paustin47able No excuse. If you don't know what you're doing you have zero business chasing. That's how innocent people die.
Jordan is a storm chaser who regularly goes out and films tornadoes, and selling the footage is how he makes money. His friend asked to go with him, and then wanted to freak out even though the tornado was far away. That audio was not from that video, plus they added in different audio with it. That's extremely deceptive and I don't like how they did that.
This was only the fault of the person who decided to go with him KNOWING what he does. This person ruined a once in a lifetime moment for him and honestly should have known better
@@JoshuaGrisewood There were more than 1 guy pleading to this douche to get them out. Jordan's a professional. He could have said no, but he agreed to give the tour holding him responsible for their safety. Even if they signed liability waivers, Jordan would still be held accountable. Either don't agree to tours, or you listen to your customers and get them away when they ask.
I lived in tornado Alley in OKC for 5 years. Almost every night in late spring, summer and fall, we had severe thunderstorm warnings that can produce dangerous lightning, hail, and tornadoes with little warning. We often had tornado watches and warnings. We spent so much time in the storm shelter, that put a couch, a light, a TV, and toys down there. We had bags by the back door, ready to grab.
I was chased from Manford to Tulsa when I was a kid, my stepdad was driving. With power lines bouncing and sparking all around us, he headed to the keystone dam. The only way home.
We couldn't see outside the windows, I don't know how he drove, but we raced to try to get ahead of the storm, all while I was screaming and begging him to go back. But he kept going, and when we got to the keystone dam, everything was suddenly still. If was eerie. Then I noticed the clouds on the left of the car were going one way, and the clouds on the right of the very were going around us the other way. Just then, the radio announced there was a tornado on keystone dam and to not go there!
I started screaming again and my dad just floored it. I watched the tornado form right behind us and head our way.
If was terrifying
We kept pace with it and finally outran it. When we got to Tulsa, the skies were blue and sunny.
It was so weird!
But we weren't home for long before the tornado came to town and damaged our home while we were in the bathtub under pillows. We didn't have a storm shelter.
But we all came out alive!
Yes, I have PTSD. 😁
21:32 actually pretty smart to put your important documents in the storm shelter for the typical months of tornado season.
Yeh and maybe get an external hard disk where you have digitalized your old photos and important documents on just in case. Then it would be easy to carry / start up at any library or pc, and doesnt take much space.
Unfortunately an associate of mine did this and found out their shelter collects water. Ruined everything stored in the shelter.
@@steve32627
That sucks!
You cant really do much more than be prepared though. You could maybe even put it in water proof casing and add 1 of those moist reducers in there to make sure. But I mean, how far do you want to go....

Jordan’s gonna have to stay in the passenger seat from now on!
😂😂
Jordan also gonna have both of wrists and hands double maybe even triple zip-tied to his main accessories in his hand [cell phone] or his own personal necessities, (his choice lol), over in the back seat of the passenger side [right] area only. No abilities to grab the steering wheel, in absolutely any kind of way, shape or form, whatsoever, either! hahaha 😂😂😂
On everything
Looks like Jordan's been demoted to permanent passenger status! 😂 After that close call, it’s probably for the best. Let’s hope he learns to enjoy the view from the passenger seat and leaves the wild stunts to someone else. Safety first, right? 🚗🌪
I'm so sorry for the hardship the people of this town went through. My Prays are with you.
Jordan sounds like a great friend 😅
lol
@@ismelljello they wanted to come along and see what it was like and boy did they get a taste 🤣
I see where you're coming from-maybe Jordan's just really passionate about what he does, and that can be admirable. But it’s also important for him to balance that passion with keeping his friends safe. A great friend knows when to push the limits and when to step back. Hopefully, he’ll learn to do both! 🌪👍
Bro you can’t be mad at the dude in the background Jordan just drive
Yeah you can. Don't ask to go storm chasing with a storm chasers if you can't hack it.
He chose to go with him KNOWING very well what Jordan does. Come on now this was the only chase ever some random dude was with him that shouldn't have been. NOT HIS FAULT
@@JoshuaGrisewoodyeah you keep posting this everywhere. Professional storm chasers absolutely need to still be safe and not get in over their heads by pushing the risk. Storm chasers have died by choosing not to ignore common sense and push their risk too far
@@RedNymph234 only 1 time ever in history has a storm chaser died directly to a tornado. ONCE

This was a great video. Im so glad Plaza Towers rebuilt with a storm shelter inside. My niece went to that school. I was heartbroken when those babies didnt make it home.
A friend of mine, their mom owns a store in Sulphur. The tornado 🌪 took out the whole back wall of not just her store, but many others. All the front windows were blown out. Another store was wiped out,and the house right behind it. The fella bought the property behind, and he is building a new store. It's going to take many years to rebuild. Alot of people that had brought their heavy equipment into town to help clear downed trees,and blocked roads. My friend still has his bulldozer in Sulphur to help whenever needed. Have a great day my friend, and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️🌪⚡️.
I watch Cross Timbers Bison on youtube. He lives near there. His mom lost her business too. He had a video about the Sulpher Tornado. I could believe all that damage!!
This was fantastic but my god, JORDAN!!
Thank you

This was unexpectedly excellent. I've been watching tornado videos for 20 plus years; this one brought a new perspective and great storytelling. Thanks, MyRadar from a subscriber for a couple of years now. I'm so sorry for the good people of Sulphur, OK. What happened to their town is heartbreaking and I hope they can build back.
Thank you!
I know basements or underground shelters are impractical in many places, or simply too much to maintain (water pumps and dehumidifiers, etc), but honestly, what has stopped the entire midwest and South all this time from including one large, central closet, made of reinforced concrete and a solid door, in all homes? Cost cutting and negligence at its finest. You can't tell me one tiny but solid room in the middle of the house is too much to include. Concrete is already needed for the foundation and driveway, what's a little more for peace of mind?
Instead of trying to reinvent the entire home (which is still a good thing, don't get me wrong), why not make a safe location in the house to preserve lives and keep important documents safe?
This has always baffled me. My own parents' home is L-shaped with no interior room, and all their bathrooms have a window or a skylight. Every time a storm rolled in, it was a sobering thought that we had NOWHERE to go.
I am glad that building codes are finally being updated. Feels like watching seatbelts finally becoming normal, all over again.
When my daughter and her husband built their house they built a saferoom/laundry room. I don't think it cost them ten of thousands of dollars to a safe area
In a perfect world yes. Lots of people are like myself and can’t afford to build a house much less one with a safe room,Hence the mobile home. Many lives are in danger due to this situation.
@@loriessing5275 as part of new construction a properly designed and certified shelter will cost around $5,000-$6,000. Adding a storm shelter like the type that you bury in the ground outside your house is very easily going to run you $8,000-$10,000.
The cost of doing something isn't just the raw materials but the labour and the equipment to do so. If you're doing new construction like your daughter and her husband than the costs of renting equipment plus the labour to install are negligible, you likely already have an excavator rented, you are already paying for the crew of people, the material costs are nothing when factored into the cost of the rest of your house. Now if you are just adding a shelter, a small excavator will run you around $1,000 to rent, fuel, and pay the deposit on. Do you know how to use it? Skilled operators depending on location are anywhere from $20 an hour to $40 an hour. and that's just to dig the hole. How about the soil? not free to get rid of it, you'd think it would be but its not.
In a lot of these smaller communities, especially ones that are nowhere near any urban areas, a great deal of the housing stock is pre-WW2. Newer homes are seldom built there because real estate prices don't justify the costs of building. You can't install safe rooms in houses that don't get built to begin with.
A lot of existing small town homes are also rental property and like most rental property the landlord is only going to maintain what they have to.
You raise a really valid point! It’s baffling that with all the tornadoes and severe weather in the Midwest and South, more homes don’t have a reinforced safe room. It seems like a no-brainer-one small, solid room could make all the difference during a storm. The cost can’t be that prohibitive compared to the potential for saving lives. It feels like a mix of cost-cutting and maybe a lack of foresight. Peace of mind should definitely be a priority when building homes in these areas.
This is a wonderful documentary, I’ve been using your app since it released.

Jordan was the only one paying attention. He could see exactly which direction it was moving. I would rather have someone calm and collected than people who are completely freaking out handling things
terrible, tragic , my heart goes out to these folks who have lost so much 😢
That was a fascinating documentary. I really liked it. It showed basically, how they formed, and showed the actual tornadoes. It showed the damage caused by the tornadoes, and the science behind tornadoes, and detecting tornadoes, and finally rebuilding after the tornadoes. The safety factors in rebuilding was what I have been wondering about the last couple years. When you hear the chasers and and meteorologists say, you're not safe above ground, that really caught my attention. Because these stronger, sometimes larger, tornadoes, have killed, and injured, lots of people. I've read comments from people saying that they have no basements in some towns. And some homeowners decided to have shelters dug into the ground. I believe that some are prefabricated, then installed, but they're pretty expensive. So I had been thinking since they're going to keep forming and hitting whole towns, the time to build safer, is after the storm has been long gone, and with new data gathered, like with the winds, and what they can take down, it's extremely important to know how to build better, to withstand the winds. I'd like to see those newer standards adopted in tornado prone areas, and new construction, going forward, and the government helping where they can too. Like in helping fund installing the prefabed underground shelters for individuals w/o a basement. Maybe through one time tax breaks from the federal government. I was also thinking about the 15 minutes warning. 🌪️ That some town shelters be built also. That could come from infrastructure package improvements. To build shelters where there's one like 15 -20 miles away from most citizens. Like a public places malls and restaurants schools and local government buildings, and police and fire dwellings. To give people a place of safety to go to in a weather emergency.
Thank you!
These must not be storm chasers. Storm chasers go, "Jordan, get closer, Jordan, get closer!"
They were not.
I can tell them what the winds are like in the lowest 50 feet of a tornado. They’re surreal, they’re unpredictable, they’re non-linear, they’re multi-gradient based, and the sensory phenomena that one experiences during them will never be forgotten -not even in your dreams.
Well done informative documentary. I will be sharing this with others.
thanks!
worthy of national geographic. amazing documentary that can save lives.
Many thanks!
It's a shame that they didn't mention the Chickasaw nation stepping up to help rebuild Sulphur They had Artisian Hotel and also communication center for that area.
It's very, very important to remember that Tornado Alley is somewhat of an outdated idea and they really occur everywhere east of the Rocky Mountains. Oklahoma does have a lot of tornadoes, but so does the southeast, places such as Mississipi, Alabama, and Tennessee. The largest tornado outbreak of all time occured there, producing over 300 tornados and dozens of intense ones in a single day. The damage from the Sulpher tornado is devestating obviously, but they can be so much stronger. If the tornado had been an EF5, most of those buildings would be completely obliterated and cleaned off their foundations.
Every state in the union has seen a tornado what's your point? Tornado ally isn't outdated.
Traditionally described Tornado Alley came back with a vengance this spring.
As far as what part of the country gets the worst tornadoes, the NWS has a page showing all F5/EF5 tornadoes back to 1950. Thirteen are shown across the Dixie Alley states. Oklahoma and Kansas alone also have thirteen, so that argument is pretty much a wash.
Why tornadoes in the southeast perhaps get wilder and deadlier is the fact that closer access to the Gulf of Mexico means they have more moisture to work with and warmer temperatures mean they don't tend to have a preferred and somewhat predictable time of day or year like their plains states cousins. They happen after dark more often, are often rain wrapped, and go through terrain that is hillier, more wooded, more densely populated and where people have less access to adequate shelter.
@josephbright3946 yes every state has seen one but they are much rarer to the west of the Rockies. Tornado Alley is the area that tends to have the most favorite conditions but it doesnt always play out that. The Southeast is also known as Dixie Alley and gets just as many. But every state on this side gets them and more often than the west side. The 1974 Super Outbreak stretched across the entire Ohio River Valley. The point isn't that tornadoes never happen west of the Rockies, it's that anyone to the east should be ready for one, not just Tornado Alley. Even in places like the northeast. Or Michigan. Or Florida. 4 of the 9 EF5's in history happened in Dixie Alley, not Tornado Alley. Thinking you shouldn't be worried about tornadoes just because you don't live in Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, or Iowa is a bad idea.
@@reaIixx What makes tornadoes in both Dixie Alley and the Ohio Valley so deadly is also the fact that these states are very densely populated. The plains are massive states with an overabundance of extremely large, open land. The tornadoes in Dixie and the Ohio Valley also move fast and erratically, and while there are plenty of tornadoes that also move fast in the plains (it's all up to the storm mode, after all), they are far more likely to sneak up on you in the heavily wooded and hilled Southeast and Ohio Valley.
@@dannyllerenatv8635I live in the Ohio valley and I have to say once you hit Belmont county in Ohio the terrain is different. You enter all the foothills and 20 minutes away is wheeling wv where you have bigger hills. The terrain is awful, nobody has a flat yard but drive 30 minutes away it’s all flat and open plains. The hills could easily be mistaken for mountains. 1-70 interstate has what’s called “2 mile hill” that is so steep, semi trucks greatly underestimate it, and break down constantly there. Not only is the terrain so hilly that seeing a tornado is merely impossible, but we have the Ohio river which can amplify its speed and many creeks.
We have had 2 tornadoes since 2019, one in st clairsville ohio, and another in Dallas WV, luckily both were in country areas, missing people. If it was just 4 miles into the city then 40k ppl would have been at risk.
What I’ve noticed about this valley area, is that we don’t get tornados. Or any severe weather. Ever. Even the ones that hit lasted merely a moment. The ones that hit were nothing like the ones you see on TV. It didn’t even have a visible funnel.
However, I say this all to make this point clear, if we would ever be hit with a devastating tornado, there would be no rebuilding. Our cities are already dying, they play no significance in today’s society, and were made from the old America before interstates and car travel.
Well done!
Thanks!
It is easy to say " build stronger more tornado resistant homes and buildings. Yet, the truth is that approach is very expensive. More expensive than most people can afford.
I don't think two dollars a square foot more is "very expensive".
Idk why they threw in Jordan Hall's video at the beginning with no context, but here's the longer clip if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/pxhLw9E2V5s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T7lcim-CmsgTAuMn
Jordan is a storm chaser with a TH-cam channel, he makes money filming tornadoes. Those other people in the car ASKED TO COME WITH HIM on a chase, and then once they see a tornado they want to absolutely spazz out like that. If I was Jordan I would've told that dude to call an Uber, like wtf you asked to come with and now you want me to leave?? Jordan knows what he's doing, obviously the tornado wasn't coming at them. Again, they asked to come with him on a chase!
Also, idk what that guy is talking about... on April 27th, there was a LOT of tornadoes that touched down throughout the day.
Nobody else in this comment section seems to know this..
@@christian4688 Nobody cares. If you're taking first timers with you and they're freaking the f out, you respect them
@@VinceP1974 I'm sorry if this sounds insensitive, but if you aren't someone who is comfortable being that close to a tornado, then you have no business willfully accompanying a storm chaser. There is nothing wrong fearing tornadoes, it's a perfectly normal response to a natural disaster. However, If you still *WANT* to see a tornado you should understand the inherent dangers and what situation you will be putting yourself into. You can't scream and tell a ballsy but *professional* storm chaser (whose entire motive is to get as close as they can to good footage) to move just because *YOU* are uncomfortable, you just don't ride with them. The youtubers that were there with him ultimately put themselves in that situation for clicks, which is why I can't feel too much sympathy.

I became fascinated by tornadoes after the July 15 tornado in Chicago area. Even tho this was pretty "mild" (EF-1) compared all the monsters like in Moore, Tuscaloosa, Joplin etc. it was still scary experience especially since I've never experienced one before. There were few tornado warnings in the past 12 years since I live here, but it never actually lead to one or to that intensity.
It was little after 9pm and I was in a nearby supermarket when everyone's phones started making the emergency warnings and the sirens followed within a minute. I quickly got in my car and started driving home, thankfully I live 2 min away from the store, but on my way the whole sky was filled with giant lightnings. It was so calm, even too calm, no wind no nothing (like they say "the calm before the storm") and you hear multiple sirens from every direction, it was so haunting. I started putting things from the backyard in the garage and inside the house so it doesn't blow them away. Then after few min, literally within 1 second the wind and rain hit like a train. I was at least on the porch about to go inside my house at that moment, but I felt the power of nature for that 1 second, even in that short amount of time I was fully soaked like I just got out from a pool with my clothes on. Then the electricity in the whole neighborhood got down. I could see in one direction the sky being red and flickering like it's on fire. I learned after that there was electric fire right at the store I was in less than 20 minutes before that.
Thankfully no damage to my home, only destroyed my vegetable garden, but hearing the wind hitting the walls was scary and I was constantly on edge. I can't imagine being in an EF-4 or EF-5 tornado and what all the people went thru who witnessed that.
Pretty sure Jordan would have been getting face punched bro.
Being from Murray County, that night was horrific. Im gonna miss Rainas
I'm curious as to whether the phased array radar system has the same distance limitations as the current doppler and if switching to that system would close our current radar gaps or create a whole new host of radar gaps.

Man I would NEVER EVER EVER JAVE ANOTHER human being and life in my car scared like that and wanting to leave and just sit there and not leave. I never want to be the reason anyone's would feel the fear and terror that guy is begging Jordan to leave. I would have had to knock him out o to a good sleep and would have got right behind that wheel and took his car myself if he wouldnt leave with me literally on fear for my life because a tornadoe is coming rt at me
Really, really appreciate a documentary with fresh studies, info, and footage. Having bulldozers arrive a few weeks later isn’t something I would have guessed at, though it seems like it should have been obvious.

Overall, good video. It would have been nice to feature Reed Timmer, a chaser who has earned his PhD and runs science with chase thrills. It'd good you emphasized home shelters. However, a recent storm (EF-4 I think) ripped off the roof and doors of some home shelters. The lesson is that not all shelters are created equal and perhaps some tornadoes can defeat any shelter. You didn't have time to address the issues of heavy debris blocking shelter exits or air vents. BTW, I watched the trailer for Twisters. It should be as embarrassing a caricature of scientists and chasers as Twister was. P.S. Did you not mention Moore's 1999 F=5 because it did not engender any code changes?
Pretty sure Reed is aligned with a competitors app.
I dont think I would want to chase with Jordan
That house that’s just gone is so hard! That’s sad! 😢
Finally not the same old footage I’ve seen a million times. Love how these guys researching and studying tornados say they can’t connect tornados with climate change but these democrats are going around saying they are getting worse because of climate change. I know who I’m listening to and it’s not politicians or CNN.
Not sure who's trying to say that they are connected. But the science certainly does not support it.

Or just maybe go with people who are WUSSIES (I would use a more appropriate term but YT won’t let me). I would LOVE to go chase with Jordan! I’ll never understand people who CLAIM they want to chase but then only want to chase MILES AWAY FROM THE STORM. I mean damn, JIM BOB from OKLAHOMA has MORE COURAGE than most of these so called “Storm Chasers”!! Jordan is one of the few who has the BALLS TO GET CLOSE TO THESE TORNADOES!!! As a nearly 40 year old fully disabled combat veteran, I would have NO PROBLEM/FEAR of getting close to these storms because as an Atheist I am NOT afraid of death like most of these theists, which never made sense to me.

Concrete block and hurricane glass. This is also required in Florida after Andrew. Maybe it can help in tornado alley.

One of the options for warning devices, is the tornado siren. Personally, I know they work and work well. But we live in a town/ county in Tennessee that doesn't have any. I wonder how I can convince the area to invest in them.

Pretty much a community where people just live but work somewhere else.
Basically it's a town people live in but drive to a larger city for work because locally there's few jobs available beyond farming, a few merchants, the local hospital, the schools and local government.
It's called a bedroom community because most of the time residents spend in the community is in their bedrooms sleeping due to their job commute

In a battle with the Klingons lol
In February 2014, PBS NewsHour science and space correspondent Miles O'Brien lost his left arm above the elbow in an accident while on assignment in the Philippines:
A heavy case of television equipment fell on O'Brien's forearm, causing a bruise
The following night, O'Brien's pain increased and he sought medical attention
He was diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome, a condition where swollen muscles block blood flow in the arm
Two days after the accident, a doctor recommended emergency surgery to relieve pressure and numbness
During surgery, O'Brien lost blood pressure due to complications of compartment syndrome and his arm was amputated.

Jordan is a professional chaser that knows all the risks. He wouldn't put himself, or anyone else in unnecessary danger. If you (understandably) frreak out like that in a scary situation, then trust the expert. The expert wasn't scared, because he had no reason to be.
@@kaygee2121 Sounds like the guy who took people to die with him to see the Titanic
Remember "Jonas" from _Twister?_ Jordan.
No respect for Jordan who comes across as one of the most selfish individuals I've ever encountered.
I think a 1 hour lead time is too much because a person will not stay down there an hour till the storm actually hits
@2011Jwrp I do not see lead time as being for whether a person stays down in the shelter but rather to give persons time to get somewhere safe. Remember some folks maybe disabled, elderly, alone with no help, etc.
Will be used as preparation time
@@dan_youtube good point didn’t think about that
Gather themselves, and pets to shelter
People have to stop thinking "lead time" with the perception that everyone is home, that the shelter is six steps away and that they have no other considerations other than to get themselves in it.
Some folks live in inadequate shelter they have to abandon like mobile homes, or they may have to gather children or pets. Others might be working outdoors, are in transit or have a mobility impaired friend/relative across town.
If you had a tornado warning an hour in advance but don't see one imminent (and you probably wouldn't) you're welcome to stay out of shelter until the sky starts looking ominous.
Years from now, our kids will be asking if Jordan ever moved…
“Ain’t no love in Oklahoma”…..

I am sorry but i don't see how a wooden structures is going to be tornado proof even if you make metal plates ("hurricante straps") mandatory around the perimeter. Thing is, wood breaks more easily than other materials if you apply enough force.
