This tornado was an exact repeat of the 1956 Hudsonville tornado. In fact, Hudsonville also started out as a thin rope like tornado, and quickly grew into a large and dark wedge…..but the damage in Hudsonville was worse.
Fun fact, Southern Pacific 786’s tender got blown over by another tornado while this Jarrell chaos was happening. It wasn’t the same tornado, but I just thought it’d be worth mentioning a preserved steam engine once fell victim to this kind of weather. She amazingly returned to service just four days after that, too.
I was visiting Austin Texas at the time when this happened and still heard conflicting reports that this tornado are a spin off hit the Southern Pacific steam train that destroyed his tender.
Had a chance to play The Undertaker's Dead Man Walking theme in the background while discussing The Dead Man Walking Tornado. Would have fit like a glove in this excellent video.
this tornado has to be the most movie like supernatural monster ever seen! 9:30 my god this isnt a supernatural monster this is a supernatural monster serial killer level movie villain lol this tornado had issues just i doubt anyone was brave enough to ask her if she was ok lol
While I won't describe why they found human remains in so many places, because you genuinely do not want to know, I will say… apparently, the emergency crews on cleanup duty had a great deal of difficulty differentiating between human and animal remains in the aftermath. Which really says enough about that.
Jarrell is the only known tornado to have had a zero percent aboveground survival rate in the central core (the lady in the bathtub was on the outskirts of the circulation)–if you were caught in the actual core of the circulation at Double Creek Estates, the only way to survive was to be underground, between the winds and the flying debris.
As another bit of perspective: The first police officer to arrive on the scene at Double Creek Estates wasn't familiar with the subdivision, so his initial report was that there was no visible damage there–because he just saw bare foundation slabs at a new subdivision and didn't realize it wasn't a case of not having built on the foundations yet. The damage was that comprehensive–an experienced cop didn't realize what he was looking at.
Yes the jarrell tornado was one of the strongest ever if not the strongest still to this day never seen a tornado tear up hundreds of cattle and 27 people down to tiny pieces or nothing at all not to mention all the debris was basically gone and there was vehicles completely gone even to this day never found its power was amazing
You would had thought Texas would have more EF5 tornados it been part of Tornado Alley
Should do the Andover Kansas tornado. The one that barely missed a line of planes with nuclear warheads attatched
1953 Waco tornado

Wouldn't doubt first responders got PTSD. That neighborhood that was scoured pulverized the victims.

8:01 Imagine calling a tornado out for being out of pocket.
I really enjoy your videos, but dislike when you refer to a tornado as "she". A tornado is not a ship, it's just an it.
Was that Final Fantasy boss music you were playing? Hahaha.
