What’s up everyone?! I actually made this video for my own organizational purposes as Im trying to find topics for future disaster documentaries. Also this video is a lil more “off the cuff” since its longer than most.. so they production is not as crazy as previous videos and there are likely a few mistakes.. ANYWAY. Thanks so much for watching!

Greenville Kansas?
SWEGLE STUDIOS UPLOADED. I CLICK. I LOVE THE VIDEO AS ALWAYS!
35:10 SANA CLAUS IS DEAD
Have you ever chased or seen a tornado? Don't take question in mean way jus wondering.. I'd like go see one in field lol
always surprised me that the Plainfield IL tornado never had any footage.
I need one of these on EF4-F4s and cover the Pryor EF4.
Grew up in Tulsa. Can confirm we’re excellent at shaking our fists at supercells to scare off any tornadoes thinking about having the audacity to form.
It is Oelwein not Olwein for 1968 F5
What President Obama meant was that the tornado killed in discriminatively. It didn’t care who you were, it killed you.
Great video, love all of your stuff. Apologies if you've already done it, but would be interested to see a video on Grazulis. Tornados he has argued should be rated F5's, and vice versa, storms he would downgrade.

Did you do the Manchester, SD tornado? That one destroyed the whole town.
I preface this comment with the facts that I am a tornado enthusiast, Storm Spotter, and lifelong Ohio resident, so I am a bit biased.
First, I am surprised to see Niles, OH 1985 as low as it is. For those who are familiar with the old summer fill in primetime specials on network TV about tornadoes, this is the same tornado that hit Mercer/ Wheatland, PA and had the "Look at the papers!" Video (the 'paoers' actually being pieces of homes being destroyed). There's also other videos of it, less known, moving near the Lordstown, Ohio GM Plant. The niche portion of this is that I am surprised is as forgotten as it is was Newton Falls. Aside from having zip code 44444, it is famous for having almost been wiped off the map by this F-5. There are still old news videos and a local historical video that an at the time student did for their Senior Project on YouTube. There are still visible scars in town, most notably the half destroyed covered bridge in the middle of town.
The other Ohio tornado that probable deserves mention on your list, but is niche and might only be known by tornado fans around Cleveland is the Lorain tornado. I forget the year, it was pre 1950, but it destroyed a good portion of Lorain and Sandusky, Ohio. The Sandusky portion wasn't as wide spread as Lorain, so it became known for the latter, destroying a vast swath of town and having notable photographed evidence including a Ford Model T being parked nicely in a second or third floor room after the façade of the building had been ripped off. As I said, old enough to be probably at the bottom of the iceberg, but worth noting because of the incredible damage photos afterwards.
Nice informative video, I believe you missed the 1968 Wheelersburg Ohio F-5, which would have been Ohio's first official F-5.
Got one for you: the Irving, KS twin F5's of 1879. Like Tanner, AL, in the 1974 SuperOutbreak, Irving was hit by two F5 tornadoes within minutes.
One of the stories was that of a young girl found buried in mud headfirst up to her shoulders; her name was Dorothy Gale.
A newspaper publisher named Lyman Baum remembered her story when he published his children's book in 1900 under the name L. Frank Baum.
There is a picture of an infamous Dutch (Europe) tornado in this video!
So as an enormous tornado fan from the Netherlands, I immediately recognized the tornado picture shown at 37:32 as the Palluel France 1967 tornado. This was actually a picture of the 1967 Chaam/ Tricht tornado in the Netherlands. It happened one day after the Palluel France tornado because it was the first time that we had an official supercell warning in the Netherlands because of the earlier events in France. I think it was rated or at least compared to a F3 tornado. There were 7 casualties.
Awesome content as always! Must correct you on one point though. Topeka in 1966 DID have sirens….roughly 15 Thunderbolts sounded at 7PM, warning the citizens of the impending danger.
I was literally visiting Plainfield IL yesterday 😭😭😭
spiro is pronounced Spy Row lol
Crazy to think how many more EF5 tornadoes are yet to come!!
Rainsville will forever feel unknown to me, that thing is so mysterious lol!
you forgot to talk about the guin f5 in the 74 super outbreak segment!!!
my tornado bf uploaded 😂
the hallam and el reno should of been ef5s
Yep i remember looking at that interactive map of every tornado path since 1950 and scrolled to where i live near Spiro, OK. I was surprised to see an F5 path right through it. I actually drive on the road it crossed every day. Also the locals pronounce the town name same as "Cairo".
Also the El Reno-Piedmont EF5 is known for blowing over a huge oil rig that weighed 862 metric tons, almost 2 million lbs, as well as having the drill deployed causing an extra 200k lbs of downforce, it was still rolled a few times despite this, there's pics on reddit, pretty crazy.
El Reno not being classified as an EF5 should be a crime.
The 1970 Lubbock Tornado is a lot more fascinating than it gets credit. Not only did it get the preliminary rating of F6 (One of only 2 to get that) It helped create the Fujita Scale. It's also said to be the first documented multi-vortex tornado on record. On top of that, it led to the creation of the IDR (Institute of Disaster Research) which is now the NWI (National Wind Institute), and VorTech, a full sized Tornado Generator/Simulator, that can simulate up F3 Damage. There's also the fact that it could have been much worse. It went right through downtown Lubbock, but for some unknown reason, the width of the twister shrank considerably. It started out as one of the largest Tornadoes in the state's history at 1.5 miles wide, but shrank as it progressed, eventually shrinking to a quarter of mile wide, which is about 400 yards, by the time it got to the airport.
No one ever talks about the New Richmond tornado (probably because it’s so old we don’t have footage), but as someone from there, it was so cool to see it included! There’s great lore associated with it (it happened the same day as a circus) and sometimes construction projects in the area dig up old debris to this day. All that being said, I would go crazy for a longer video about that tornado and/or Wisconsin tornadoes in general!
One important event you mentioned but didn't go into detail about was Smithville 2011. The reason that storm was infamous (to those who know about it), even among the other storms on that day, was because it was likely the strongest out of all of them, even more so than the Phil Campbell storm (which interestingly happened very close by and the paths of each tornado paralleled each other; the two storms basically touched each other on radar). There fortunately weren't as many deaths as the other storms from that day due to it only hitting one small town (Smithville), but the damage it did do was on the level of Moore and even close to Jarrell. It turned a brick and mortar funeral home into powder and splinters in no more than a few seconds, due to its fast forward motion of around 60 mph and small intense core circulation. There's a good found footage documentary on Youtube about it that details all this, highly recommend.
Fun fact for me about the tornado picture at 18:58 that i will never forget, but back when i was a shy elementary school kid this girl i talked to a good bit knew how much i was into weather, particularly tornadoes.
Then one night on our brick phones, we were texting each other and out of the blue, she sent me a jpeg of that tornado but there was another half that was mirrored on the other side to shape it like a heart, and i was so struck by it but sadly it was at a time where i was a few months from moving towns so i could not do much about it since it was close to summer break.
But that tornado was how i had my first childhood crush, and i will always thank it for that.
9:11 my dad helped clean up damaged from this outbreak near the Georgia border with his church. I don't remember it well, I was six at the time 💀 but still really radical
A "Well-Built Cobblestone Castle" well put sir!
Get my pants it's a Swegle tornado video
Guin Alabama April 3 1974 almost f6 moved at 79mph
great job with documentary great info thank you !!!!
You should go the remains the bridge from the Bridge Creek/Moore EF5. I drive past it regularly!
Forgot about Fort Rice, ND F5 and colomne, SD. If even swegle forgets about an F5 then it is truly forgotten
I had heard horror stories about the Flint – Beecher tornado from my late grandfather that they were bringing the injured and dead which it is too gruesome to YT up here in Saginaw.
i wonder if the 1674 Utrecht storm was a Tornado, it destroyed the St. Martin's Cathedral
