This is insane, I had never heard of this. Northeast gets the odd tornado warning alert during hurricane seasons but nothing like this!
When I lived in S. Korea for a bit, they were doing drills over the summer at the school I worked at but nobody told me they were going to sound an earthquake alarm, and that the alarm sounds exactly like a nuclear bomb alarm like you hear in US movies 😂 I nearly had a heart attack.
They didn't show it, but there was a brick building in Mayfield with a clock tower that was partially destroyed. The brick had peeled off in the outer layers and parts of it were caved in. Even though it was brick it couldn't withstand that sort of storm.
Love your videos man! You should react to Tornado Alley Real-Time Tornado. If you haven’t already, it’s a show from the weather channel showing the people that survived showing Raw footage of the most killer tornadoes. You’ll get an idea of what they went through with Raw Footage of them being close or inside of the tornado. It’s really intense. They have like 5 episodes that are 45 mins long. However sadly the Moore EF5 tornado is not fully available. I would say a good episode to check out is the Joplin EF5 episode.
I live in Bremen, half of the town looked like a bomb went off and the other half was untouched. It’s crazy what a tornado is capable of. All my mother and I could do was hope it didn’t move our direction. So many houses were destroyed down to the foundation. We have came a long way since that night and new houses have already been built.
I was driving from Chicago to STL coming back from a job last year. Two big storm cells were coming straight up the highway on either side, the wind was insane and that was the first time I really felt the fear of death. The rain was absolutely pelting the car and the traffic stopped. Luckily the storms split and the tornado(es) were a few miles away, but damn it was a close one.
EF 4 relates to the strength & wind speed. EF 5 will scour asphalt from roads.
I was watching Ryan Hall Y’all’s livestream when this happened. He was tracking its whole path and warned a lot of people that night to get to shelter, even saving many lives. There is a video of a family who got in their shelter and they were watching Ryan Hall on their phone and he was naming the streets right near them. You should watch that video if you can find it. Ryan’s “Y’all Squad” funds immediate assistance to communities hit by tornadoes and many storm chasers that work with him are medically trained to help those with injuries. The storm chasers are very often the first responders.
That storm went within a couple of miles of my sister, but it was losing steam by then, thank The Goddess!!🤗❤️🐝
I'd like to point out that the structure at 4:34 is made of block and that Europeans tend to think block will be enough to save them in tornadoes. It will not survive a direct hit from one of the stronger ones. Block is better for a weaker tornado but you want reinforced poured concrete and to be underground.
It's cheaper to replace the wood structure if you're taking a direct hit anyway. It's much more efficient just to have a designated storm shelter/basement and to take the chance that you'll probably never take a direct hit in your life.
I got friends in bowling green Kentucky who also got hit hard that night. Looks like this channel did a video on that too
Back in the 80’s I was looking out the sliding glass door and noticed a strangeness in the surroundings I have never experienced before. Suddenly the sky was a green-gray color, and it was like outer space, it felt like there was no oxygen, everything was still, no breeze and not a leaf was moving, then I heard the sound of a distant train, but I lived no where near a train track. Then right before my eyes I saw the roof of the building falling in front of my face, maybe 10 ft away, hitting all the cars parked in front, and it missed mine completely. It was a small tornado that went over my building. No warning, nothing. It wasn’t even raining. Strangest experience. I was lucky.
Me and my Dad live in Ballard Co and did some GC work in Mayfield post-tornado. Did a countertop job for this small family that had a double-wide trailer installed on their property in the exact spot where their house originally was. Driving down the main road the trees alongside were snapped in half and folded over. When we got to their property we couldn't even tell that there used to be a house there because there was zero trace that anything had ever been on the property. Talking to the family, we learned that the husband was maybe ten minutes from being swept up in the tornado alongside their house. The wife, son, and dog had run next door to their grandmother's house which had a concrete bunker under the property. The husband was adamant about staying in the house, believing that he would be fine and that his family was freaking out over nothing. It took his son begging for him to run over to capitulate, and sure enough, ten minutes later their house was gone along with all of their farming equipment and one of their horses. They left the bunker the next morning and found the barbed wire fencing wrapped around their tractor that was tossed a good 75-100ft away and was laying on its side, with their house nowhere to be seen except for individual pieces of wood.
An OZ Storm Shelter can withstand an EF5 tornado. It is built above ground and we had ours installed 2 years ago.
I remember people wanted to leave work and go home from the candle factory but the owner made everybody stay and work.
I live the next county over and the damage in both Marshall county (my county where Benton is) and Mayfield was horrible. The area is permanently changed and will never look the same. I was over 2,000 miles in Oregon that night, it was terrifying not knowing if my family and home would be okay.
A well built brick home will usually do fairly well in tornadoes up to EF3. A garage door blowing in is still more than enough to rip the roof clean off though. EF4 and up, There isn't much difference what you build with.
Brick means nothing to higher EF tornadoes. Would you rather be hit with a brick or a plank of wood during a tornado?
This was about a 1.5-2 hour drive for me. This twister could have easily veered a little north and struck my area, a much more densely populated area of about 350k people. I've never been in or seen a tornado but I have been in a down burst. It comes with strong, high winds and can cause severe damage just like a tornado. I was walking home and heard the loudest commotion. I turned around and saw the top of a big building, in my hometown, peel back like a can of sardines. I was terrified. I can't imagine what was running through the minds of these folks when this massive twister was headed toward them. They must have been so scared and hopeless.
I went through and f5 years ago in Joplin Missouri. The scariest thing I've ever been through. I lost everything I was under my house for 6 hours. We were so very lucky. One thing you can say when something like this happens the way the people pull together. People I've never met were there to help in any way they could. That's what make the US such and amazing place. We're there for each other when we need to be. I'm sure it's like that across the world.
Watch all the Derecho footage! It's amazing!
