Dude, you need to see The Green Mile. One of the best films of the 20th century. It will make you cheer, it will make you gasp, it will make you cry. Rent it, buy it, stream it, I don't care, but watch it.
My children's school was hit by a tornado. Thankfully, it wasn't strong, so it only damaged the roof. That was in the early 2000s, and parents actually blocked the phone lines so badly that the school couldn't call out. I simply drove by to make sure everything was good and picked up the kids.
Makes you wonder who controls the weather🤷♂️
Great video!
Loved this❤❤
As a retired power plant operator (both nuclear and fossil), I can tell you that power plants and tornadoes are not friends. Nuclear power plants are designed and built to withstand 300mph winds. (THEY DO NOT GO BOOM! Do not base any opinions on the nuclear tornado movie. If you have any questions, ask me. I operated a nuclear power plant for 15 years.) However, the switchyards, power lines, auxiliary equipment are not. For a tornado, the nuclear plants shut down for safety. It takes many hours to get the reactors cooled down (because of residual heat in the reactor metal, fuel rods, etc.). Power plants, once they're tied on to the grid, supply their own power. But when they're shut down, they have offsite power that supplies the plant until the next time they're tied on. If a tornado takes out the offsite power lines and emergency diesel generators, the nuclear plant can't cool down, and you have a Fukushima type event.
In 2011, the night of the killer tornadoes, two of the utility I worked for had two power plants attacked, Brown's Ferry Nuclear Plant, and Widow's Creek fossil plant. Luckily, all it did was smash switchyards, high voltage powerlines and towers, and a few other things. The power plants themselves survived, although it was a while before they came back on again.
I remember that night like it was yesterday! My late wife, my parents, me and the dog spent the night in the storm shelter. You could hear the tornadoes going over. Luckily, none of them touched down around where I live. I'll send you National Weather Service (NSW) maps of tornado warnings for that night on X.
Ironically, next week, I'll be staying at a campground in El Reno, OK. There are several videos on the El Reno tornado. I suggest you watch some of them. It will give you a new perspective on tornadoes.
Be well my friend. 😀
The USA has "Tornado Alley" for the whole planet. I thought most countries must have their own version, but no. 80% of the Earth's tornados happen in the US Midwest.
Iowa State is a crazy party school. Main concentration for study is agricultural, live stock veterinary, down to earth subjects. But on the weekend they definitely Raise The Roof!! Students from other colleges and universities often head there for the weekends! 🎉 Wahoo!!😢
Hey brother, found your channel just cruz'n on YouTube. I had no idea that Britts were so interested in us people from the USA. It's really cool, and I love your videos. Just wanted to really press upon your point about how each state here is like their own country or region. And we all have differences in language, culture, geography …etc. There is also a Huge difference in our age groups. For example, I come from Generation x. I was born in 76. I have so many different sayings, habits, likes, i.e. music, movies, games, politics …etc than most millenials, and Gen Z'ers do. So if you want to understand America, you should look into those differences as well.
Lastly, I'm in Las Vegas, Nevada, but was born a couple of states north, Washington, and was born and raised in the central and eastern part of that state. Which is an entirely different experience and even culture than the western part, so our states can also have huge differences to look out for.
If you ever want some first-hand video of Vegas, let me know, I'm your guy. And if you ever find yourself here, look me up, we can grab a beer, and I can play "tourguide" for ya.
Anyway man, thanks for the awesome videos, I love learning about you guys too, through your eyes.
"The Green Mile" one if the best movies ever filmed!❤
Man, these last three days in Oklahoma have been terrifying.
This is not your traditional tornado season.
Intense to say the least.
No fatalities, thank God! Lots of destruction though.
An EF0 hit the prison in my town today.
Lexington Assessment and Reception Center.
Wild that I’m watching this just hours later!
hello everyone
🌪️ The El Reno Tornado is the tornado I’ve been asking you to react to for soooo long… it is the biggest to ever touch down on planet earth at 2.6 miles wide & arguably the strongest although I do believe that the 1999 Bridge Creek Tornado reached a speed of 301 MPH at one point but I believe the El Reno tornado held the 296 MPH speed for some time if I’m correct & our instruments for detecting their speed are obviously a lot better then in 1999 so I don’t know but you will be SHOCKED at the damage this tornado was able to inflict as well as how odd it’s behavior was compared to 99.9% of all other tornadoes. Storm chasers with 25+ years of experience chasing tornadoes to help better understand tornado science & help be able to give people more warning time & more time to seek shelter unfortunately lost their lives during this tornado because it acted in a way that has never been seen before by almost anyone (R.I.P)… I also believe this was the first tornado that experienced storm chasers ever lost their lives in. PLEASE react to the El Reno tornado🤞🏽I believe National Geographic might have even done a special on this tornado. If you’re interested in tornadoes then this is one you DEFINITELY need to see to believe, until then I guess I’ll wait until you do the reaction. 🌪️
VERY windy in Indiana but no tornado warnings yet…..
7:28 it is the inter most part of the building that is away from windows. btw Reed Timmers just came threw my town in the dominator 3 so I'm pretty sure there's a tornado outside my house rn. gotta love southerner Oklahoma. 11/4/2024
Funny.. I was about to watch this video but haven't yet because well.. I had to take cover.. and our kids are still on the bus with this happing right now just a few miles from home. We did go outside and saw where it was and ran back in.. : At 408 PM CST, a confirmed tornado was located 3 miles southeast of Siloam Springs, moving northeast at 40 mph. Another developing tornado was near Westville moving northeast at 40 mph.
Just now had tornado sirens go off in my town. Not a test… a real warning. Thankfully, it went north of the town. Haven't heard what damage occured.
They absolutely terrify me!
That’s just tornadoes that doesn’t count to hurricanes which are more powerful and devastating… F5 Hurricane puts any Tornado to shame.. Try a video on Hurricanes

"You Know What, Don't Go Crazy, But, I've Never Seen 'The Green Mile' "
Neither have I, Lewis
The Green Mile is one of the best movies ever made. Im female and tend towards girly movies and documentries, but GM is worth the time to watch it. Some superb actors in it. They are like a natural treasure to us.
You need to watch the green mile my all time favorite movie
Lewis, if you want to beanch out about US weather and things that go bump in the night. Check out the Landers and Big Bear earthquakes that hit my area on June 28, 1992. Landers [Hector Mine] quake hit at daybreak, and was a 7.4. We were about 30 miles from the epicenter. It was the first time in my years living in California where we actually ran into the hallway. Our neighbors with pools had tsunamis and our toilet water was sloshing out! Later that morning the Big Bear at 6.5 hit. Its in a different area than Landers, but still close to my area in Palm Springs. I was in the grocery store getting ice and the store shook and cans fell off the shelves.
There is some footage on You Tube of the damage. Thankfully Landers isnt really close to much. Its pretty much desert.
I only live about 3 1/2 miles from the old Tennessee State Prison, and I remember very well when that tornado hit because it also went through parts of downtown, though I was safe from it.
A nuclear power plants can’t be turned into an atomic bomb. Nuclear reactors melt down, they don’t explode. A tornado hit would cause something more like a Fukushima or Chernobyl.
7:38 that hallway couldn't be the only area that was considered a safe zone because the school would probably have $500 to 1,000 kids or more, so if there was a tornado during the school day they wouldn't expect all the kids to run to that one hallway, it was just plain dumb luck that that hallway was left standing and that's where all the kids had hidden. The schools that I've been to in the midwest that have tornado safety areas are usually the bathrooms, but again that just might be the couple of schools that I've visited in tornado areas.
1:26 Davis Besse! That's basically outside my front door!! My city, Toledo, finally made a list, too bad it's not a good list to be on.
…Not far from Davis Besse, another local school got demolished by a tornado, Lake High School. It had taken them the entirety of my childhood to scrounge up the funding for updated schools. The year I graduated, it was finally complete. 2 years later, a tornado destroyed it.
generally the area that you take shelter would be the safest area.
You timed this video right – I just spent some time in my basement tonight when the sirens went off. A tornado touched down just about 3 miles from my house in Missouri. No damage here, but this was a little too close for comfort!
The El Reno tornado was a personal close call for me. If I had left Phoenix Arizona a day earlier, I would've been driving right through the middle of that monster.
Hello from Wisconsin 🧀 I’ve had a tornado only a quarter mile away from destroying my home.
5:48 makes you really question about fate and destiny. Like in Men in Black 3 there's a character who mentions how so many things have to add up to get to one important moment that makes an impact on history.-something along those lines. How many times you think that player had been practicing to get that shot and then to be tied with the other team.
The storm chasers have saved so many lives over the years with early warnings. I live way north of the El Reno tornado, but watched it on TV and all you could do is stand there and cry as you saw it rip through Oklahoma City…
You gotta watch the Green Mile!
Most hallways, bathrooms, and locker rooms are structurely designed to withstand tornadoes. So taking cover in school hallways or in homes in hallways away from doors and windows is key. Because debris is the number 1 killer during a tornado. so stay indoors, underground, or in areas that designed and labeled tornado shelter. I live in Texas and wish we could have a basement.
Hall ways don’t have many windows. Windows get blown out. Explode
I remember that month the El Reno tornado in 2013. It was just a few days after the Moore tornado that hit two elementary schools and killed several children. Our state was in a state of shock and very weary. I’ve actually driven through the areas hit and it’s surreal?
The safest place during a tornado in an interior area with no windows.
We was hit by a tornado July 6th 2022, Goshen Ohio F2. I was also in one as a child but do not remember it much.
Something he didn't mention about the El Reno tornado was that, just eleven days earlier, Oklahoma City was hit by an EF5 tornado, the 2013 Moore tornado. If El Reno had been just a bit further east, it could easily have hit areas that were still recovering from that monster. Imagine losing everything in an EF5 tornado, just to be hit by another EF5 less than two weeks later (the only reason El Reno was rated EF3 was because of lack of damage, which wouldn't be the case if it tore through OKC).
Check out Storm Chaser Daniel Shew on the El'Reno tornado
#LEWG I was homeless for many years and during the last year in the summer (it was july 5th) a massive thubder and lightning storm came on fast and my son and i were right inside the tree line at our tent and it was flash flooding our camp and i screames get your shoes on we have to go now as soon as we stood up with our shoes on we stood up watched the bolt ark over our heads and strike us….. We woke up in a creek our camp onliterated and were screaming in pain and i had so much electrocity raging through me my phone was glippong out every time i trid to call 911 for help so i had to use my nose to touch the screen so i could talk to text with my exhusband (the dm was opened from the phone going bonkers) and he had to call 911 for us it was do horrible and traumatic and painful
Alright, well. Thanks to this guy, I have a new nightmare. Atomic twisters lol
I live in Texas. We’re so used to it that we really do go sit outside and watch. We deal with it too much to waste energy worrying. Also, fun fact, every first Wednesday of the month at 2:00 p.m. they test the sirens. Idk if that’s everywhere in the US or just Texas.
Hallway = no windows & just concrete and paint.
