90s devastation in Moore saved lives in 2013… Because so many peoples lives were upended they rebuilt with shelters.
The tornado on Tuscaloosa was appalling as well.
No one has basements in TEXAS
tornado alley shifting to southeast , due to changing weather. This has helped alot since the east mountains help stop strong tornado production.
Both F5/EF5 tornados that hit Moore, OK in 1999 and 2013 were headed toward my town but turned before hitting us. Thankfully, one has never hit my town but I wouldn’t live in Moore for anything! That town is apparently a tornado magnet. And yes… home insurance in Moore is very expensive!
did you know that the "3 little pigs" was about tornadoes?? wow maybe it was that girls fault… (the tornado) even lesser tornados do as much if not more damage… I was going to Louisiana once on a bus that had a layover in Dallas… the bus left just as a tornado ripped through downtown… put on an epic light show and was so lucky to have left when we did… (tore a huge hole in Dallas, or maybe Houston as it was long ago I don't remember just that it was in Texas close to Louisiana…
it was May 20th for the Moore-Newcastle tornado, I wish the people who made the original video had paid a little closer attention to the date & such🤷🏻♀️
All my mom's family lived in Xenia during the tornado.
I lived in tulsa , roughly 2 hours north east of moore, at the time of the 2013 moore tornado. My office supplies job had 3 people from each store go help for a week with clean up and recovery. I was one of the 3 from store. We took a lot of pictures of the devastation. It was painful trying help digging through the rubble seeing that some there was nothing left of homes or just the front porch stairs and a bathtub with the rest of the home scattered through the neighborhood while the house next to would still all the pipes and a lot things still attached. Heartbreaking
We had an F3 hit Clarksville TN in December. It passed about a half mile from our subdivision. Houses and buildings were destroyed, but Americans are resilient. What comes down will be swept clean and the building starts. Due to this tornado, our insurance did go up.
One detail about the Joplin tornado: one of the buildings it destroyed was the *hospital*.
I grew up in rural Texas panhandle, kinda the edge of tornado alley. I saw 2 small ones that ripped through some corn fields but we often saw funnels form and dissipate in 10 seconds or less. Just little pogo sticks that pop out of the creepiest dark cloud you’ve ever seen in your life. Never any real danger though. The tornado sirens always increase the pucker factor.
What natural disasters does England have?
I call those tornados with legs "walking giants!" Sounds like something out native American mythology. Indigenous people of America saw tornados a long time ago and probably thought they were alive!
Tornado Ally!
I live in Minnesota where we have smaller ones usually in the spring. My 3 Brothers& their sons were up by Canada fishing. While they were gone a tornado hit all 3 places. One place had a 3 stall garage picked up& dropped about a foot back from the foundation. The other 2 were mostly large old tree damage. My brothers town had payloaders push the large trees down the streets to the edge of town for removal. There’s been some devastating tornadoes in Minnesota but nothing like tornado alley!
A few years ago, there was a huge tornado about a half mile away. I went outside. The sun was shining where I was. The tornado area was completely black.
The tornado sirens went off twice in my area today. When the sirens go off, that means there’s one in the area , run for your life .
I saw the Jarrell tornado as a teen in central Texas and I watched as one hit my house in south Arlington TX fortunately it was just an ef2 and did minimal damage to my home but collapsed some garages down the block and blew out all the house and car windows.
Regarding your question about how anyone could survive above ground: On the Fujita scale, F-0 to F-2 are the most common, while F4, and especially F5, are the most rare. So, if a tornado hits your house, there's a very good chance it's smaller. In a well built home, on the ground floor and away from outside walls, up to F3 is survivable, F4 is questionable, and F5's are UNSURVIVABLE unless you are UNDERGROUND or in a purpose-built tornado shelter. The only exception to this being buildings which are heavily reinforced, such as the Joplin hospital in 2011. All of it's windows were blown out, but the building was the only structure left standing in that neighborhood.
I live 12 miles from Joplin and have seen and lived through 2 smaller tornados. You get used to the warnings and understand how to stay alert and be prepared to avoid damage as much as possible. Spring through summer are the normal times of year they happen. Scary and exciting at the same time. Also, look up elephants clean up Joplin tornado on Google, interesting video. 👍
Imagine, one of the longest Trains going through your home. The hail beating on your roof qnd cars…trees literally exploding from the pressure, debri flying around and into your house. If you are lucky…you weren't home, or you may have an underground Tornado Bunker. If not, you hide in your bathtub with a matress over you and your family, because you never had a warning other than maybe a minute or two.
Then imagine that train coming into your home. You definitely don't go into the basement, because the house could implode and bury you.
Then, if you are luck to have lived through it, and able to walk, you make outside, after it passes, to see destruction. Cars were tossed blocks away, and everything is gone.
Then, you kick into auto pilot and run, looking for neighbors that may need debri that they were buried in, removed.
Imagine after the shock and devastation, and someong missing their child who is found later on, in a tree, a mile away.
Because that happened.
I don't even live in Tornado Alley, but in the 35:years I have lived in this home, we have, had three Tornadoes come though our Property.
Fortunately, the 175 foot trees were uplifted out of the ground, and looked like GOD Himself laid them down, missing cars, a GreenHouse, Shed, and Garage…our home, and our Bodies.
I kid you not, limbs were gently resting on our two vehicles in a way, that the more pliable branches did no damage other than a few minor scratches. The tree itself, laid between the shed, and the Garage, and the cars. Not one glass plane broke of cracked.
Another tree,, just as big, missed our house by a few feet., limbs of it, still attached to the tree, onto our front Deck, and partially on the roof damaging some shingles, but leaving it whole. Another tree, just as big, landed on the ground, about two feet from the side of the house, Branches ripped some siding, and that porch was covered with tree limbs.
I will never forget how awed I was by the sight, after each Tornado….nor how I felt. We live in a slight valley, in front of a wooded steep hill, which is limestone and shale, and it seems that each tornado traveled along the ridge, which was probably a barrier it moved alongside of, once it came through the front of our property.
Neighbors and our small Town (I live 40 yards from the Town limit), were not as fortunate.
The Town was hit on our end, up our Road, and left quite a bit of devastation.
The rooftops were ripped off of buildings, in the closest Shopping Center.
One demolished a close neighborhood, during the time kids were at School, and the parents at work…Thank GOD Our Father!
But miraculously, a woman saw out of her front window, a tornado heading toward the house across from her. She selflessly called them to see if they were home, and the neighbor was able to leave in time, because of her call.
And because of her, this woman and her baby lived, because over half of her house just disappeared!
I would drive by, and actually see the crib in the Nursery, which had been cut in two, with everything taken up into the tornado.
But, that crib was there, against the one wall still there.
I honestly believe that crib was a reminder.
Not only, what could have happened…but to remind us of how a Community can literally save lives, when we watch out for our neighbors.
I see again, the devestation from your video, and am filled with sadness for the lost, and the loss..
And I remember what might have been.
We had no warning system, and I didn't know it was coming until I heard that sound…no one did.
We now have a Siren in Town…our Cellphones get a Warning Message. And if your television is on, A warning comes across the screen, with a Broadcaster telling us to take Shelter. And 2/3 of a mile away, in Town, there is a safe Emergecy Shelter, that is Tornado proof, for those who can get to it.
Sorry this is long, but I thought Lewis would like to hear what can, and does happen, during one of these monsters.
Thank you for hopefully understanding why I posted this long comment.
GOD Bless 💜
Lived in Oklahoma almost all of my. 58 years, and a few years storm chaseing. Had home hit once. So as far as tornados, been there done that got the t-shirt?
I have. In my lifetime hgavd been on several tormados.
June of 1992, we had a tornado go through, I think it was an F3 maybe 4. Missed our home but we were without power for 5 days, no cellphones back then (for the average person anyway), our phone lines were knocked down. Roads were impassable due to debri. I had to saddle up one of my horses, and ride to my in laws farm a few miles away to make sure they were okay…crazy stuff.
I’d recommend watching: 2011: The Year of The EF5 by Celton Henderson
Great video with a deep dive into every EF5 that year
I live in northern Georgia, we just had a tornado event a week ago. fortunately it wasn't this strong but it stil did it lot of damage.
I've lived in the San Francisco bay area with earthquakes that have amazing forces and the southeastern US with all of the tornadoes and hurricanes, I'll take earthquakes any day.
I used to joke that I was allergic to tornadoes BUT the my town burnt down during a wildfire (Paradise, California the "campfire")
I lived through the EF-5 Phil campbell tornado in 2011 as I was living in Harvest, Alabama at the time. Thankfully it passed a couple of miles south of my house and I didn't have any damage on my property, but my neighbors just down my road had trees down and roofs damaged. Only a couple of miles south of me, the houses were just…gone. Add to that, the tornado had knocked down the power transmission towers at the local nuclear plant and that plus the damage to the regular power lines had us out of power for a week and a half after that.
Even with all that, though, in the Dixie Tornado Alley in the south, they're kind of used to tornados and know how to deal with/survive them.
Tornadoes happen like shit happens. You'll live.
