The 2011 Joplin Tornado was one of the most infamous weather events in American history and the worst tornado of the 21st Century. I go over everything in this documentary from the weather conditions that day to the devastation the tornado left behind.

This was the first time I saw a professional storm chaser (Jeff Piotrowski) break down crying after finding bodies and realizing just how destructive this disaster was.
Lesser known F5s:
Woodward (1947)
Ruskin Heights (1957)
Tracy (1968)
The reason the tornado sirens went off for the first time was for the tornado warning that was for the storm to the north of Joplin. The first tornado warning had nothing to do with the city of Joplin. The second tornado warning was for the city of Joplin. The NWS screwd up with the tornado warning by only issueing for the north side of Joplin, but the tornado came into the southwest side of Joplin.
Nice vid again, Pat! This was such an incredible event.
Great Video on such a sad event.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do for tennis. Anyway…”😂❤
Thanks for making this video pat. As I’ve mentioned I lost my dad in this tornado. I’d love to add my experience in another video
Your probably going to begin daily hurricane outlooks starting Next month (May).
I’d never heard of Will Norton or how brutal irony was exacted. Thank you for this story.
Damned fine work Pat. This video gave me far better insight as to the actual meteorological events of that day and added a piece to a puzzle that has baffled me for 13 years.
this was the most deadly tornado ive seen in my 45yrs of life it tore thru joplin and was so big and violent
amazing doc once again Pat! Looking forward to your future releases!
RIP Will Norton.
The hot comment was a bit weird but overall good video.
This is a well done documentary and gave a more personal look at the tragedy of the loss of Will to the Norton family. It's a shame they didn't keep people at the college that held the graduation ceremony rather than releasing everyone into the approaching storm. I've read many close call stories from survivors that were heading home from that ceremony. Hindsight is 20/20 of course.
One note that I feel I have to mention about Murphysboro, IL which was destroyed by the Tri-State tornado. They did build back and it is a charming town and the county seat in the area. My brother in law's family lives there and I was made a short visit in 2022.
Amazing video.
I pray that this never happens again
What kind of guy makes a video referring to a deceased high school boy as “hot”???? Why did you type that in your video?
Condolences to young man killed,its a scary tightrope chasing these tornadoes, knowing they can brutality kill you but fascinating at the same time,once your hooked, your hooked,you can't let your fascination with them, overrule your command seanse with safety.
@01:50 gives you an idea of just how fast that thing wedged out and intensified. It nearly hid in plain sight. CAPE was damn near close to 6,000 J/kg in that area that day. The radar signatures of the parent supercell are also amongst the most sobering I have ever seen. That little "blob" looking MCS quickly became dominated by the Joplin supercell, which would later show as the tornado intensified. Later scans would show what is as textbook of a hook echo as you can find and one nasty debris ball. However, the most impressive thing is how resilient Joplin remained after this event. They have recovered and then some, upgrading much of their infrastructure and including many new designated shelters. To experience a disaster of this magnitude and come back so powerfully is a feat rarely seen in history, but also a powerful reminder of how hope keeps us moving forward.
18:40. Seatbelt snapped? Idk why but that just really hits hard to me.
Dude is literally analyzing his own death. Wow nuts
I remember exactly where I was. Me and my husband were driving home from a business meeting in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I looked on Facebook to see my friend (living in Joplin) posting for prayers because she could see a massive tornado heading straight for Joplin.
My husband didn't say anything but for the next half hour, I stared out the window and prayed, actually feeling anxious for everyone there.
Terrified for people I didn't even know. I still cry when I watch live streams of people like Ryan Hall talking about tornadoes. This really was the worst tornado ever.
went from not even touching to instantly a wedge.
Rip will Norton
Hopefully God is taking care of him 😢. I been deeply connected to him and can't seem to stop thinking about him 😢. He seemed like a sweet young man 😢
I watch alot of tornado videos and your narration of this video was really well done,look forward to seeing you do more videos.
What so many people remember about the Joplin, Missouri tornado is how Mike Bettes broke down sobbing on air while covering the immediate aftermath of the tornado for The Weather Channel as he was reporting live on the scene outside of St. John's Regional Medical Center. It showed people outside of the affected area that were watching The Weather Channel that Sunday night the severity of the disaster if it could bring a seasoned meteorologist such as Mike Bettes to tears. What they may not know is that following the disaster Mike had adopted a Golden Retriever who had lost her home in the storm and named her Joplyn. Aww! Sadly, she passed away from old age in 2022. While I was understandably saddened by this because I love dogs; I reconciled my sadness by reminding myself that Joplyn was adopted by a good person and lived a life surrounded by love and affection. Quite humorously there is an article about how to tell if you're watching The Weather Channel too much and one section of the article talks about how you have gotten your pets in on your enjoyment. There is a photo of Joplyn modeling the signature blue L.L. Bean windbreaker jackets worn by meteorologists for The Weather Channel when they are in the field providing coverage of severe weather situations.
"HOT"? What the f🤬?
I was in East Texas about 12 years ago and we got a tornado warning for the very small town we were in. The funnel passed just slightly to the right in the air above us (we saw it…very strange sight) before touching down 1/4 mile past us and doing a lot of damage. We got very lucky. We were at a camping area surrounded by big pines and camper trailers. The fact that I was drinking whiskey calmed my nerves.
I saw where one tornado carved a trench in the ground.
Damn just watch this I got a weather alert on my phone I live in Rochester New York but we don't get that crazy
Man the beginning of the tornado form it almost 11 minutes in look like It did the Dead Man walking like the jarrell Texas misspelled probably tornado😢
This storm changed the world forever
Honestly this is just heartbreaking especially that poor daddy always wondering and I pray he found peace knowing that his son is in the most glorious place waiting🙏🙏🙏
It went from a small rope to a giant wedge in like 20 seconds! Rip Will Norton and all other victims 🙏
I can't believe how some of them couldn't tell how violently unstable the weather was that day. I would have stayed home and waited it out.
Nice job on this video! Thank you. 😊
I lived near the high school about 4 blocks(about a mile in a half from my house to the school) that was the first time I been in disaster etc. The only (kinda) disaster I been in was the '89 Oakland baseball earthquake (I didn't even lived in the Oakland bay Area I lived in Central California so we can feel the earthquake All the way from the bay Area to Central California but not that much just a little shake etc.)
This is a really good production Patrick!
