April 11th, 1965.
Its a beautiful sunny afternoon across northern Indiana and residents all across the state are beginning to venture outdoors to enjoy the pleasant spring weather after a long and brutal winter. None of them could have imagined that in just a few short hours they would be at the center of one of the worst tornado outbreaks in American history.
On April 11th, 1965, a catastrophic tornado outbreak would devastate the midwestern states of Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, producing over 50 tornadoes and claiming the lives of 266 people, causing apocalyptic levels of destruction matched only by the 1925 Tri-state tornado and the 1974 and 2011 Super Outbreaks. In this video we will discuss the fascinating meteorology that caused this devastating and often overlooked tornado outbreak, the people it impacted, and the scientific breakthroughs that happened in its aftermath. This is the true story of the 1965 Palm Sunday Tornadoes: The Forgotten Super Outbreak.

I live in Central Indiana, and we recently had a small outbreak in multiple counties with hail in most areas, it fucking sucked.
Forgot to mention, many people died.
Not me living in the middle of northern IL 💀
What is this background music please would love to sample these
Damn that is terrifying. And when I was a kid I heard a tornado watch when I was at school, and flipped out l. I cried and bitched for my mom to pick me up but she didn’t. Luckily I was safe but it was scary for sure
Who’s watching this in 2027
I remember this very well even though I was just 6. My parents lost a longtime friend and his family during this outbreak. They had grown up in the same town down south and he and my dad had left looking for work about the same time. So sad that they both survived Korea and he and his family died They way they did.
I was 12 y.o. and living in Onsted, Michigan. Two tornados hit our farm, several minutes apart. I will never forget the scream of the eves troughs. We lost farm buildings but kept the house. All of the chickens were killed. The neighbor's dairy cows were lost.
55 tornadoes – 1 day ☠️
That’s insane that there is more than 2 tornadoes in that one day
Bro I believe you’ll hit 1 million before the end of the year this is the best channel I’ve found for tornado’s ❤
this happened on my sisters 18 birthday took out the point and a lot of north end toledo i was 17 in my 3 yr r high school was babysiting someones kids upstairs apt at time
That's something I could not even imagine. Getting hit by a violent tornado just to have another come right behind it. Not giving survivors a chance to get away. It's absolutely mind boggling. Thankfully it is not something that happens with each storm season. How this outbreak is not talked about is crazy, just for that reason alone.
my birthday😯
Interesting very interesting palm Sunday w investigation about history of second coming of Christ predicted but only a few people knew back then in 🇺🇲
The Crystal Lake, IL tornado passed one county over from where I grew up. On Easter 1965, one week later, we drove over, toured the damage, and then went out for Chinese food. Since I was just a kid, I didn't really realize what it really meant.
Ohio?!!
hosanna in the highest they said
blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord they said
This is horrible !🌪❕️ 😮
All I knew was the devastating hurricane of Joplin, Missouri.
Thank you for this video. 🧐 📚📚📚
Remember , If it wasn't for "climate change" AKA "Global Warming" , North America all the way down to Mid-Mexico, will still be under sixty feet of "Glacier #ICE" .
(and No Great Lakes)
There is absolutely nothing new here. Except for the fact that we can record and report these events now.
What is new is that thieving "#elites" can make money off the Lying theory of "climate change" .
this almost became dooms day
I have always been interested in historic disasters, and this was very entertaining for me! Keep it up!
To me this is an why tornadoes are scarier than hurricanes.
But wait, there's more.
The sad reality about all these tornadoes and storms is the government has had and still has weather modification systems for which they used back in the Vietnam War look it up if you can still find it in history because you know they're censoring the truth nowadays people should be able to sue for damages and losses of life
what happens when a strong cyclone hits land like cat5?
and tell me the same as the tornado
Why mother nature hate America😭
I subscribe 😊😊😊😊
April 11 is my birthday
Me: singing random songs while not even paying attention to this
My dog:wth…..
Why’s it always April bro 😭
(April is the month I was born)
Imagine sleeping and you wake up in heaven ☠️☠️☠️☠️
This was full on
😱😱😱 11:42
I didn’t know twin twisters from yugioh had lore
your mind trying to go to sleep:
You know it's bad when you hear the phrase "luckily only 4 died and over 120 were injured"
I wonder if God was trying to get our attention. Especially on a Palm Sunday. And yes, He is in control of the weather. Not mother nature nor man.
