The Dead Man Walking Tornado – Jarrell F5 Documentary



The Dead Man Walking Tornado – Jarrell F5 Documentary
A deadly tornado outbreak occurred in Central Texas during the afternoon and evening of May 27, 1997, in conjunction with a southwestward-moving cluster of supercell thunderstorms. These storms produced 20 tornadoes, mainly along the Interstate 35 corridor from northeast of Waco to north of San Antonio. The strongest tornado was an F5 tornado that leveled parts of Jarrell, killing 27 people and injuring 12 others. Overall, 30 people were killed and 33 others were hospitalized by the severe weather.
The tornado destroyed approximately 10 percent of the homes in Jarrell;[62]: A1  at the time, the city had a population of about 450 people and had been previously struck by tornadoes in 1987 and 1989. Hardest-hit was the Double Creek Estates subdivision west of downtown Jarrell.
The 1997 Jarrell tornado was the first and only known occurrence of an F5 tornado in Williamson County. It was also the deadliest tornado in Texas since the 1987 Saragosa tornado. The thunderstorm that spawned the Jarrell tornado began west of Temple along the flanking line of another thunderstorm earlier in the afternoon of May 27.

  2. I’m curious if the Jarrell tornado would meet EF5 standard today since these were all wood-framed houses. If not, it surely should be considering what it did to living beings.

  3. Someone in the comments said/questioned rather, that the Jarrell tornado wouldn't stand up to the standard of the EF scale and would only be rated an EF3 according to some BS book they read, god knows when.

    All it takes is common sense to answer the question of: if the 1997 Jarrell, Tx *F5 was as strong as it was?

    When have you ever heard of an EF3 tornado rip ALL the asphalt up in an entire subdivision? When have you ever heard of an EF3 tornado remove the plumbing, refrigerators, air conditioning units, carpet, flooring, people, animals, and cars… all gone? It doesn't matter if the houses were well built or not (which actually a few were. Do the research). Ripping off the asphalt takes incredible force. Cars were never found. The aerial photos CLEARLY speak for themselves. Everything was GONE! Not trashed, not knocked over, not torn apart and lying in shambles….GONE!

    This is the most underrated extremely strong and devastating tornado of all time (and those comments is proof) It's underrated because of the belief that the slow forward moving speed was the sole cause of that type of damage. That sole theory has been debunked by a few tornados. The Elie EF5 tornado in 2007 proves that people assuming the slow forward-moving speed is the ONLY reason for its damage intensity. "Experts" said the same thing about the Elie tornado because it stalled over a particular area over one house and said its stalling is what caused a house to be swept off it's foundation. Giving it an EF4 rating incorrectly. It wasn't until amateur video surfaced that recorded the tornado as it hit that house. The video showed it IMMEDIATELY sucking the house right off its foundation and OBLITERATED it. THEN it stalled. The same "experts" and surveyors had to upgrade that tornado to EF5. This is one of the reasons why the EF scale is very flawed. Jarrell showed every single sign of it being as powerful as May 3 1999 Bridge Creek tornado. People always say "well the Jarrell tornado picked up so much soil and debris that it created a sandblasting effect."
    Excuse me, but what tornado rated above an EF1 hasn't picked up soil and debris???

    The Jarrell tornado DID have incredible windspeeds to rip up asphalt, trees, houses, grass out of the roots, cars (some never to be found again), and people have the naive nerve to say the slow forward-movement is the only reason for its power. The CAPE for that day was 7,000 J/kg. You can SEE the violence in the updraft in the video. The inflow jet in this video shows how strong the winds were from 4 MILES AWAY!!

    The Fargo, ND F5 of 1957 was slow forward moving and did nowhere NEAR the damage intensity that Jarrell caused. Same with Hallam, Nebraska tornado.
    All it takes is a little research to find these things out. Yeah, it was slow moving. But it would have done the same amount of damage if it were going 50mph. Just like Smithville, Hackleburg Phil Campbell, Moore, and Joplin.

    I would love to see the so-called credentials of that book's author you spoke of. As I said before, "experts" have been easily proven wrong. The ignorance and lack of technology was a catalyst to an even bigger flawed system of measure.
    There was no Doppler on Wheels on site in Jarrell that day because they weren't even expecting tornadoes at all. Scientist thought that every tornado needed windshear to form. The Jarrell storm system proved them completely wrong. As I said before the CAPE was over 7,000 J/kg one of the highest ever recorded (It was only over 5,500 at Moore '99 and Joplin '11). The inflow jet was SEEN, FELT, AND RECORDED 4 MILES AWAY! And you question whether it would hold up to the flawed Enhanced Fujita scale?? The same scale that rated El Reno an EF3 after LITERALLY a Doppler on Wheels RECORDED the windspeeds at 296 mph. The EF scale is rated on damage intensity ONLY. Windspeeds are obviously no longer taken into consideration. And that's a major flaw. Especially when a tornado like El Reno doesn't hit a populated area. The sub-vortices were reported to be stronger than the main condensation funnel. It's what killed the Twisted crew: Tim Samares, Carl Young, and Paul Samaras (Tim's son). The Chevy Cobalt they were in looked like a giant picked it up, chewed on it, and spit it out. It sucked Paul and Carl completely out of the car and their bodies were found roughly 1/4 to 1/2 a mile away from the wreckage.

    Jarrell was in every shape and form the monster it was. It's RIGHTFULLY rated as *F5 which is stronger than the ridiculous 201 mph needed for an EF5.

    If taken the time to do ACCURATE research and scientific comparisons, you'll find out that every single thing I said is factual, credible, and fundamentally proven to accurate. All of the info is accessible to us all. Instead of assuming and taking someone's word for it, I did my own research.

  4. The Rainsville EF5 could use some more coverage. It has produced some of the most severe damage recorded including tearing asphalt off roads and unburying underground storm shelters.

  5. 1976 June 13 Jordan Iowa was wiped off the map by an F5 and F3 anticyclonic combined to make a V shape path i was 11 years old when that one hit lived in Boone which was just a few miles from Jordan

  6. Cover the F4 in la platta MD and the F3 of college park Maryland, unfortunately both claimed a few lives. It's very rare for tornadoes that big in Maryland. Plus I haven't seen that much coverage on them

  7. The Jarrell tornado is something straight from hell.

    The fact it slowed to almost a pure halt when it got to the estates. it’s like the tornado had some sick mind of its own. Truly a terrifying beast.

  8. I could never understand how if you're living in a place that gets tornadoes How you could live in a house without a underground those people would still be alive if they had an underground basement it should be required by law like in Miami you can't build a building without hurricane proof windows 😢😢

  9. I was wondering why he moved the camera to the white SUV, then I realized he was using it to set the correct white balance. 👌 Old school trick – the videographer did a great job.

  10. Such a well constructed video, provides everything from the start of the day, how the weather system progressed and formed, up until the point it hit the town of Jarrell.
    Best channel i have found in ages, you just gained a new subscriber!
