They scale tornadoes by the damage they create.
Tornadoes here in the United States occur in what we call tornado alley, which runs from north Texas, all the way up to Wisconsin. Now a tornado can occur practically anywhere, but they occur more often in this area. That's why they call it tornado, alley.
Hey Lewis I love your videos ā¤
Milton is hitting Fla soon
When I was in high school we moved from Georgia to Arkansas. After we moved hurricane Hugo hit. A year later we moved back to the same house in Georgia & there were 32 tornados that hit after we left.
I love your reactions to these. Having grown up where there are tornadoes (Texas panhandle), I tend to forget the rest of the planet in many spots don't have them. You were asking about helicopters flying near tornadoes. The old weather guy in Amarillo in the 1960s and 1970s used to go up in his plane to watch them. Dan True was a very good weatherman for the time, back when radar was black and white as the TV was. But, if you're interested in spending some time, not on stream, to watch the entire broadcast of the 2013 Moore Oklahoma tornado, it's up here on YouTube under the title Moore, Oklahoma, Tornado | May 20, 2013 Full TV Broadcast. It's 4+ hours long, which is how long they were on the air with this thing. And there are helicopter reports as well as ground reports. It's worth a look, even if you watch some and come back to it later.
Tornadoes do occur on the West Coast, but they're rare and not particularly strong.

Worcester! I live there @l3wg Grew up hearing bout that one, and during my life of 34 years, we've had a couple microbursts (mini tornado), and one relatively small f1 in my life…..all I remember is how DARK the sky got and how quick it happened. It was sunny summer day and then BAM phone alert goin off, sky got dark as night and then the wind and hail came
In 2023 dollars
Helene was bad, I was in Florida during that and a lot of buildings are just gone. And there is now a second storm about to hit them that is going to be worse. First because it is potentially larger. But a second storm this soon is exponentially worse because they don't have time to prepare for it. They are still in recovery mode and don't have the resources. Climate change is causing bigger, and bigger storms every year.
I'm old enough to remember that we had no warnings when I was a child. Even a small tornado can cause damage and fear. Illinois, June 1962–I was ten and my younger sister was 3. I was sitting at the kitchen with my parents and our neighbor who'd grown up in Texas. It was hot and our windows were all open. Very suddenly a strong wind whipped through the house. The pressure dropped and there was a low roar. Very protective of my young sister, I ran down the hall to get to her in the bedroom. A lamp from the living room flew across my path and I remember leaping over it. The door had been sucked closed by the pressure drop. I couldn't get it open. Then suddenly the door popped open when the pressure stabilized. My sister was standing in her crib, wide eyed. She said her doll flew off the shelf and playing cards were flying around the room. Indeed, there were toys and such scattered about. Our neighbor, still sitting at the table said that the way his ears popped, it was a tornado. We were lucky, it had torn the roof completely off of our neighbor's barn but only lifted a corner off of our roof, above my sister's and my bedroom. It had to have been very small, but it scared the crap out of me, and my sister who was only 3 still remembers it. We had no warning.
Dick Gilbert did traffic news from a helicopter in Louisville Kentucky. There is a video about his coverage on the 1974 tornado that hit Louisville. He is why there was more warning for it when he spotted it while doing his traffic report.
Helene, I think, is gone. All we have to worry about is hurricane Milton. Idk when this will be, I'm just seeing what people are saying on YouTube.
Whatās the worst weather you get there
15:56 Tornado alley and Dixie alley are different. Tornado alley is middle America(like Kansas, Texas etc etc) and Dixie alley is more East coast(Illinois, Kentucky etc etc)
We had a tornado came to Hawthorne NY in the early 2000s. Yo it hit near a gas station and stayed mostly on the parkway. My man, it was a miracle the gas station didnāt blow up. It looked like all the trees exploded. The thing was no one saw it coming. No warning until last minute. Things like that don't happen in NY. Even if its upstate NY.
People in the comment section talking about earthquakes in Californiaā¦. 30 years ago 85 people died.
Somehow they compare that to the yearly weather events that take hundreds of lives every year.
When giving a dollar amount for the damage done, he used the dollar amount if that happened in 2023. The equivalent if you will.
I will have to ask my grandma more the next time I go over to visit. She was born in 1926, and she has told me about how her mom grew up, Her mom was born 1883, and I will ask about how they could tell when a tornado was coming, if they could at all. š
i love swegle's videos. his voice is so soothing, it could put you to sleep, but his words would give you nightmares!
I remember the 2013 el reno tornado, the sky was amazing, I remember my dad freaking out and rushing us into the car so we could get to my grandmas house who was the only one with a tornado shelter near us, thankfully it didnt come near our area but i'll never forget the feeling in the air and how scared I was despite not knowing how bad it really was, I was only 6 or so at the time and knew it was bad just from the feeling in the air
Helene was devastating, killed over 200 people in Florida. And there is another category 5 hurricane (Milton) expected to also develop tornadoes, due to make landfall in Florida in a couple days. They canāt catch a break.
Reed Timmer has one of the craziest drone tornado videos Iāve ever seen. It gives an entirely unique perspective on what the storm system looks like from the air. As crazy as it looks from the ground, the impact of the damage from a birdās eye view is insane.

My mother helped trying to find survivor's in xenia Ohio when she was a nursing med student. They didn't find many survivors
i grew up in the region of the 74 tornados. weather modification. it destroyed us
I live in new England and had 2 tornadoes cross my road, but they were incredibly weak.
Tornado Alley is in the Midwest (think Kansas and Nebraska). Dixie Alley is in the Southeast (think Georgia, Mississippi). āDixieā is what the south is called, south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Iām from Houston, Texas, and Iāve been in 2 tornadoes. They werenāt severe, but did their fair share in damage, and were very scary.
I remember the 2011 tornado of El Reno. I live right down the road from there. Thankfully the tornado jumped I40 and stayed north. If not the size of it would have wiped the town I live in off the map. So scary.
Dixie Alley is like the second tornado ally
I know you are wanting to visit the US. We do have a tornado and hurricane season. Plan accordingly
Tornados are super scary and I live in an area where tornados are common. The videos canāt convey how truly devastating these storms are.
There have been a few confirmed smaller tornados in the Pacific Northwest
I have friends I visited about a couple of years after the Joplin tornado. Joplin has a lot of buildings that date back to the early 1900s on the main street in downtown. You don't notice it at first until the scope of the damage becomes visible even after all the reconstruction. You can see the exact path the storm took because in that area all the buildings and homes are new and all the large old trees are all missing.
They didn't say anything about the 1979 tornado in Wichita falls Texas. There were four ef4 tornadoes came into one big EF5 it was a mile wide. Killed 42 people injured 1,700 were injured. More than 3,000 homes destroyed and 20,000 people left homeless.
Tornados rarely happen west of the rocky mountains.
Tornados pick up dirt dust mud trash and trucks cars
You asked how could they gauge the tornado in the 1800's – Tornados are classified by the damage they do. Currently, the strength of a tornado is predicted, but the actual classification is set after the tornado has gone through the area, and the damage is done.
The west coast can get tornados, but it's pretty rare, and they're rarely stronger than an EF2. This is because of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Tornados don't hop hills very well, and they form over plains, hence why the west coast doesn't get very many of them. There are a bit of plains between the Sierra Nevada and Rocky mountains, and you do see some stronger tornados there, but due to the massive tract of desert land, it's much more common to see a haboob (sand storm) than a funnel cloud or tornado. Keeping in mind the sand storms are considered a 'tornado laying down' that area gets these storms every year, typically from July-Sept.
I'm in Louisiana, so we know a thing or two about flash flooding, hurricanes š, tornadoes, just mother natures all around volatile ways. It is so hard to see our neighbors in North and South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia all dealing with one or another catastrophic event, one after another š¢. I pray for ya'll ā¤
11:58 looks like it was hit with an atomic bomb
the West of the U.S. is far less likely to get violent tornadoes than the East (although it can happen, much like it can happen in Europe!)
