I never even knew the one on the Twister movie poster was a real tornado. I assumed it was all CGI! That's awesome to learn about.
A part two would be great. What about that super old photo (maybe one of the first?) of the tornado with two smaller tornadoes coming out of the sky on either side of it, like pointy horns? I can't think of the name but I'm sure you know which one I mean. Oh, and that one of the guy mowing his lawn with a tornado in the background that became a meme.
the tornado lightning one omg i remember it being on a book from the library when i was a kid that got me into tornadoes
Part two for sure.
i would love a part 2. have you ever thought about doing a livestream where you scour google earth for tornado scars?
i appreciate your uploads – you start with the "one thing", then don't make us watch 'til the end to "find out". i watched to the end either way but just sayin'. do it for the passion more than the clicks
Here is another iconic image I remember, but can you tell us about this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado
RAINBOLT from geoguesser might find some locations if you can contact him
Fun Fact last photo was used in CD cover for Polish "Efekt" by "Fenomen"
THAT DOES IT!!!!! We need a collaboration with Weatherbox. Top ten tornadoes of all time, or something to that effect. List your empirical evidence, and reasons why you believe them to be, etc. The content is fantastic, very informative, and provides waves of nostalgia from my childhood. Nice work Brofessor Swegle!
Yes please part two! I’m wondering if you can find the one in my profile photo, which I’ve been using for at least 10-15 years!

Part 2 please 🙏🏻
All of these photos are classic & extremely dramatic! In my sometimes humble opinion #1 on this list is that of the twin tornadoes that struck Elkhart & Goshen Indiana during the Aoril 11th, 1965 Palm Sunday Outbreak which I believe was the most violent until the April 3rd-4th, 1974 Super Outbreak.
At the time the photo was taken, both tornadoes were F4s and killed 31. Overall, there were 47 tornadoes that killed 271 and injured around 1,500. Credits:

Swegle Studios? Is there other places? I can text you at other than you tube. Cause I keep demonetizing by Youtube moderators
something very important. I would love to show you something that nobody talks about are barely even knows 2 weather Phenomenon That would make your Head spin. Incomprehension
That is backed up by scientific evidence.
I had no idea Faidley shot the picture would be used for the marketing of Twister. Wow.
On topic of tornado's, there was a tornado last night in Ohio, I was woken up by my mom to her freaking out and she told me "Come on, we need to get in the basement!!" I was shting my self (not literally) and when we got in the basement, my mom and stepdad said "There's a tornado near by!" and me and my little brother are freaking out, me specifically because I have anxiety but not severe, we then got all the animals in the basement and we were ok now, mom found us some blankets, because the basement was cold lol, and I think 30-45 minutes later, we were good, Idk if the tornado was an EF3 or EF4, but there was some damage, everyone is fine now, thankfully! I hope youake a vid about this soon, but if not, it's ok, also love your vids! 😊
The tornado on the Twister cover looks like your stereotypical tornado.
Another well-known tornado image is that of the Union City, OK tornado on May 24, 1973 while it was at it's widest (about halfway between stovepipe and wedge in appearance).
Illinois tornado video??👀👀
Would love a part 2
Surprised the 1981 Cordell, Oklahoma tornado didn't make it to this list. It's probably the most famous tornado photo of all time.
I'm trying to find one I had for years as my win98 desktop I think it was from early 2000-2003 photogenic tornado formation I think maybe Nebraska or the Dakotas. It was this broadside looking probably NW, so the tornadic cell in a very classic look, tornado at the base, and behind it cooler drier air and it was sunset so you could see stars emerging in the clear blue sky behind it.
I always forget he pronounces Scythe as "Skythe"
If you do a part 2, and branch to videos, an easy one would be Duke Evans 1991 Terradyne CC video looking over the houses on Glendevon Drive in Andover. Should also be easy to track down the overpass video site from that same 1991 tornado outbreak.
Fred's Lightning, Palm Sunday Double Tornado, and the Swirling Barn Tornado I've all seen on books at my school library. Plus I had a book about Warren Faidley named "Eye of The Storm"
u finally covered the midway double!!! u forgot to mention the f3 that hit the same area 45 mins after tho 😀
Cool video!
PLAY TWISTED ON ROBLOX SO MANY TORNADOES!!!
You should do a video of meteorologists being completely wrong.
The Dead Man Walking photo is probably the scariest one of them all. Well, that's just my opinion.
Rest In Peace To Fred 💔💔💔💔
And My Heart Goes Out To Everyone Affected By These Tornados 💔💔💔💔
love your vids so much man :))) can’t wait to see you get big!!
I bet the geoguesser guy could find their locations
Plsss do a part 2! It is almost these exact photos that started my obsession with tornadoes and the weather. So pls make a part we would live to see it! (Maybe even one on famous tornado videos?)
This was 20 years after the Palm Sunday tornado, but my mom’s journalism teacher at Goshen High School narrowly survived the tornado, but not in the way you’d expect.
In 1965, He and his family went to Michigan to visit his wife’s parents. With them was their newborn son. As they started driving home that Sunday afternoon, their son became sick. Instead of driving home, they turned around and went back to the wife’s parents house to stay the night. The next day, they had heard severe weather struck Goshen. When they returned, their house was completely gone. Nothing was left except part of the fireplace. They would have been home that evening if they drove home. Her teacher said that if his son hadn’t been sick, there would be someone else teaching this class.
Their home was next to the Midway Trailer Park. The tornado on the left was striking Midway around that time. A Wal Mart sits there to this day. My mom knew Paul Huffman too. He took that photo just souteast of Kunderd Estates. Planet Fitness sits there today.
If you want to learn about the May 27, 1997 Jarrell F5 tornado, I highly recommend that you go watch the documentary on it by Alferia
So here’s a quest for ya: What is the origin of the tornado image used as the album cover for Stevie Ray Vaughan’s “Couldn’t Stand the Weather”?
Hey Swegle, do you think you can talk about the Plainfield F5 tornado? This event is not talked about enough and is a shocking story. I think it would also mean a lot to my family because unfortunately my Dad's Godmother passed away in this tornado while working as a principal in a high school.
Has there ever been attempts to stop a tornado forming or ideas on dissipating a tornado already foamed
part2!!
For part 2 you should include the elie Manitoba F5
