Yes kabir, surely theyd see how dark it was while it was dark out.
"My dear, its awfully dark, dare I say extra dark… shall we pull over? "
9:20 there's usually relief funds. there's a program called FEMA except FEMA has recently been controversial because they only really give out funding based on a state's population. so if a state has a low population, they might not give funding even if it was hit hard.
Love watching your videos! I’m a 73 year old Texan, who had time on her hands and loves watching you. You are so sweet and wholesome, just like my grandkids. It’s a pleasure.
The experts say that if you are in a car and tornado is going to hit you, you must get out of the car and find a ditch and get as low as possible to the ground.
Broman. You gotta see our weather in person.
Kabir have you ever seen the video 1989 Loma Prieta, earthquake we lived in the Bay Area, i grew up with earthquakes no big deal until it is.. 63 people died, scary. lay flat in the ditch.
Videeos like this make me glad I live in an area of the US that rarely sees tornadic activity at least to this degree. They hit the county, but never the city proper.
No, its not tornado alley, it's taken that path that hits the southern states. I think, don't quote me on it, but I think I heard it referred to once as Dixie Alley. Some years they get the brunt of the tornadoes and tornado alley gets the rest. I think there are slightly more in tornado alley. However as with everywhere else climate change has affected us too and the southern states where you didn't see as many of the monster storms have started to have them too. Also note, this tornado occurred long after tornado season ended. It was in the winter and that's not when you see much tornado activity. We all grow up knowing they can happen anytime, anywhere but it's a rare thing. Also, it doesn't matter whether the land is flat or hilly, or mountains or over water even. You said something about flat land and I figured I would let you know that isn't true. It was once believed that it had to be flat but it doesn't.
Professional storm chasers are important to report what they see to TV stations, police etc so alerts can be issued to help others stay safe.
Tornadoes are becoming more prevalent in Dixie Alley around Dec and Jan. And they are brutal. I live on the outskirts of Dixie Alley. It's harder to see them coming bc of all the trees, and these big ones seem to be nocturnal.
For some reason we were taught tornadoes could never happen around here in school because of all the hills. One happened and it climbed a massive hill and just started tearing the roofs off all the buildings. So, when people say they can only happen on flat ground they are misinformed. They can happen anywhere given the right conditions.
people have no idea…. I have experienced more than my fair share of tornadoes and the people who stand outside or in windows to get that video are STUPID. not enough people consider satellite tornadoes most likely because the ones who got hit by one didnt survive and there IS no video
I am in CO basically the start of tornado alley out east. I work 1.5 hours from the Kansas border. 1.5 months ago at work we watched a storm try to form a tornado several times. It dropped spouts from 3 different spots. It was crazy to watch. The cloud was Pitch Black but small. As the funnels would start to form you see small black clouds start to appear out of thin air and the cloud started down towards them. Then they broke up and went away. On Tuesday I got a Tornado Warning out there as a really black ominous cloud was coming our way. Lots of lightning and soon after I left Bid Hard Hail. That storm at some point further east will build up more and have a tornado of some size. I have never seen one IRL! My sis caught video up in the mountains of a tornado above 10k ft in elevation. I have experienced an Earthquake as a kid in Cali. That was insane to know the Earth that seems so solid beneath your feet is so elastic and moves occasionally in Bad Ways! Lol I have not experienced a Hurricane or Tsunami and I don't wanna! I dealt with El Nino in CA every 4 years in CA. Flooding roads wash out beaches destroyed….
Regarding radio comment…Most people these days use Sirius/XM Satellite Radio or an app like Spotify or Apple Music. I bought a new car 6 years ago and the AM or FM radio has never been used. Unless the weather apps on your phone have alerts turned on, you're not getting local warnings.
Tornado Alley is basically N Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.
It's the stack of central states in the country.
The actual Tri State Tornado happened in 1925 and carved a 219 mile track through eastern Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. It killed over 2,000 people, mostly Women and Children because the Men were working in the Coal mines. It's forward speed maxed out at 73 miles per hour. It was estimated at F 5.
I live in southwest Ohio. We have tornadoes every year. On Memorial Day a few years ago we had 11 tornadoes hit our greater area in one evening. They were F0 to F3 as I recall. We were 3 miles from one headed our way and in our safe space. It took a turn at the last moment and missed us Still too close. We were blessed that night as these tornadoes hit north and south of us. My wife and I work in area food pantries. We were very busy the next day. The devastation was horrific. What I hear is that tornado alley is expanding.
This is why I tell people, if you have enough time, and you know exactly where a tornado is, you should get out of the way of it. It’s just not worth taking a chance on your house being enough to protect you. And most of the time tornadoes are not very big.
Stronger storms that produce some weaker EF-0 or EF-1 tornadoes are starting to become more common here in Canada and it's definitely worrying and even a bit scary because we're not used to this sort of "live" reporting or storm chasing that is prevalent in the US when the conditions become dangerous. And even in the US, with the decline of traditional media like tv and radio, it's unlikely people would know unless the area can use those emergency notifications on mobile phones, it's a bit what the plan is here in Canada. But one thing that will always terrify me, like in this tri-state tornado, is night time storms. Unless you have a light source like lightning and just happen to be looking in the right direction the tornado would be invisible against the darkness of the night until it's too late.
Hi Kabir, that was an unusual time for a tornado to hit. They are most common from March through the summer, with the worst times being in the spring. Furthermore, they more commonly occur in the afternoon, not night. There really wouldn't be people looking out for a tornado on a December night. The area hit is on the eastern edge of tornado alley, though there are an increasing number hitting further east of the classic tornado alley. That being said, tornadoes have hit every state at one time or another, and in every month of the year, though as I have said, the most common times are spring and summer, and during the afternoon, and most do occur in tornado alley. It's lucky the death toll wasn't higher, given the month and hour.
No, definitely no way to stop them anymore than you can volcanoes or huuricanes. You just get out of the way. Nor should you. Thats the thing. People think when they move somewhere, all natural phenomenon thats dangerous will just stop. These things have wandered our planet for eons. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes are killers but they also serve a purpose. Especially with volcanoes and quakes, they release pressure in the earth, hurricanes and tornadoes help mix the atmosphere due to an imbalance somewhere. Without those things, youd potentially be in a much worse siuation. Respect nature, dont control over chsnge it.
Kabir, they are considered to be in Dixie Alley, that encompasses the southern states of America. Tornado Alley is Texas up through Oklahoma and up to Minnesota.
I cried when I heard the little girl died.
Night tornadoes are the worse. Well, all tornadoes are bad.
Got some (Great) photos of an ef3 that hit our small town in northern Illinois. Would have been an ef4 or 5 if had hit the center of town, unfortunately my house was on the outskirts and in the direct path. It was picking up full size tractors and launching them fifty yards. Let me know if you got a business email or something, I'll send you them!
If u ever want to check out on a bad day of storms max velocity or ryan hall yall go live so
I wasn't close to this tornado but our power ended up being out for about a week because of another tornado from the same weather system. I live in southern West Tennessee.
This didn't hit Tornado Alley but in recent years the south has what is considered Dixie Alley where a lot of tornadoes occur.
I live in Northern Colorado near Ft. Collins. One day in June 1987 and we lived in a small town called Bellvue, my Son was about 10 yrs old, when he came running outside to tell me that there was a high wind warning and He wanted me to go inside. The wind was terrible that day and it was just weird weather. A couple of days later we found out that Pingree Park, up in Poudre Canyon was hit by a tornado. There was only trees damaged and an outside bathroom. The amazing thing to me is that it was 9,000 Feet above sea level in a very mountainous region. I didn’t think that we could get tornadoes that high up in the mountains until then. After that, I never took any for granted!
I live in the Fort Wayne, Indiana area, where the St. Joseph and St. Mary's Rivers meet to form tha Maumee. There are still people who live in the area who think that the Three Rivers are barriers to tornados. They need to see videos like this one, which shows that the Mississippi isn't a barrie. Why do they think our dinky rivers are? Honestly, the myths people are willing to believe.
Try to imagine driving down any highway that you can think of on a dark, stormy night –
how often could you know your exact location to within even a kilometer –
and interpret the warnings by the weather man – "south of (town Name)", "northeast of (name an intersection)".
do you stop? Go back? Go forward?
Your choice may be a matter of life or death – this is a matter of chance, rather than skill.
As @Clumsydolphin said, No this is well outside of "Tornado Alley" –
but is in an area that has become more prone to tornados in the last several decades.
The most unfortunate trend in this area is that the Tornados tend to for after dark,
and the area is more heavily wooded than the "Plains" thus making them difficult to spot.
This contributes to the loss of life in these areas.
I'm surprised the county wide sirens weren't going off!
18:58 this is more of Dixie alley which gets just as violent and strong tornadoes but often times less press. It also produces more nocturnal tornadoes than tornado alley
i live in central Arkansas and several months ago a tornado came through our area at around 10 PM and I was terrified in part because it was night time. That's one of the worse times for a tornado warning. At least during the day you can see where the tornado is at. It ended up hitting on the outskirts of town and did quite a bit of damage to some condo's on the lake but thankfully no one was killed that night.
Recent research shows Tornado Alley may be shifting southeastward, from the Plains states to the Deep South, especially Mississippi and Alabama. Not exactly the nation's richest states. They're gonna need all the disaster preparation, efficiency, and funding they can get. Even worse, many of those tornadoes strike at night. Plus unlike the Great Plains, this is a heavily forested area. That reduces long-range line-of-sight visibility.
Not if it hits Texarkana. There are three states in the one town. This was not the case here though.
In case anybody heard the part where cars are stopped at an overpass. That is not a safe place to shelter. I know ppl are usually avoiding the hail and then they think getting up under the girters is a good idea. It's not!
I live right near Mayfield, KY which is the other tornado they mentioned right towards the end of the video. That thing destroyed at least 70% of the town, trapped I don't know how many people in the candle plant. If you get a chance look up "Mayfield Tornado 2021" and watch the footage of the aftermath, it's insane.
I’m from Hayti (we pronounce it Hay-tie, named after the Hays Tie Service that made railroad ties). Remember this tornado like yesterday Meghan Rackley is actually my 2nd cousin and it also destroyed my other aunt and uncle’s house across the street. We get alot of tornadoes here but this was the first time I was THIS close to one. Absolutely the most wicked thing I’ve ever experienced!!!
Warm moist air colliding with cold dry air causes the atmosphere to become unstable. The warm moist air rises quickly and can create super cells. (Very strong thunderstorms) that's the basis of what a tornado needs to form.
I thought this video was going to be about the, I guess now, original Tri-State tornado in 1925 that killed almost 700
Night time tornados are really terrifying. Hard to follow and really can only see when lightning or blow transformers.
👍🏾
That was 1925
This is not the tri-state tornado, sorry the actual tristate tornado was again in 1925 it started in Mo. Went through southern IL. Into sw. Indiana killing over 895 people
