In a way greenburg might be been little lucky with the 2nd tornado of that cel was EVER BIGGER 2.25miles wide at its max. Most huating thing was the poilice radio you know those people, god the fear they had and pain they went thought. I my self seen EF5 tornadoes more then 2 since my family and 1 do a year trip chasing as a family trip im from Aus but have family in moore and this event we happened to whitness the second even larger EF3 tornado. First was the 1999 F5 in Moore since 2013 after that one I have stopped since I was suffering PTSD and survivers guilt.
I can't stand dark side of the moon. A song like Seasons in the Abyss or Fade to black.
You do good work kud!
I remember watching the storm stories on this like a bunch
your storytelling skills with these events never stop being amazing
I thought this was an EF4? Did they just upgrade this based on further damage analysis?
September 16th I get the new David Gilmore double vinyl boxset. Pink Floyd playing in the background reminded me, and I thought I would remind all of you. 🤟😎🤟 Great choice of music by the way. 🛻💨 🌪
The Greensburg tornado was one of the beastliest tornados I've ever seen. They say it was 1.7 miles wide! Holy crap!!!!
I'm also willing to bet the winds inside this tornado far exceeded 200mph.
11:24 bro.. first of all, what this song?
Second of all, THAT'S A CALM SONG WITH A VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY BIG @SS TORNADO
I went to Greensburg on a church trip in 2008. We went back through returning from a church trip to Joplin in 2012 and the difference after 4 years was incredible! It felt very futuristic and hopeful.
why is spongebob screaming in the background
This seems like an 80s serial killer documentary. Once again, another great video.
A 2 mile wide EF-5 at night is the most horrifying thing I can possibly imagine. That is the absolute worst case scenario
Dude, straight up well done. I love the unique twist and edge your narration brings to the reality of how these storms actually affect people. Well done!
Nice job
I absolutely wanted this. Im obsessed with Greensburg
Wasnt Greensburg the tornado that turned back and hit town a second time?
The way you did this video… is amazing. I felt immersed and couldn't look away. Amazing job. As someone fascinated with tornados, it's amazing to see someone who puts such dedication into a video!
I hope that companies will consider opening up a branch in Greensburg and with it they will entice new employees as well as create job opportunities for people who live in that area of Kansas.
I relate to the people that had to deal with the horrors of the aftermath. The first time you see a body of a person that died in a traumatic way it changes you. It is not a thing you are easily rid of. The sights and smells are forever burned in the darkest parts of your memory. You may be able to cope with them and overcome the trauma but they will live with you forever. After what I saw I didn’t sleep for two days, didn’t sleep well for weeks, I honestly don’t remember what I did the day after or the evening before. All I remember is what I saw. All you can do is seek help from your loved ones, from professionals, from your faith and keep moving forward one day at a day. All you can do you is try to be 1% better everyday and keep going in honor of those who no longer can
Great job on this
This is the most fucking beautiful tornado I’ve ever seen
Are you legally allowed to use that music in videos your making money from??? Probably not.
The greensburg tornado is one of my personal faves
It’s setting and environment is perfect for a wedge.
And the fact the storm produced 5 wedges (greensburg included) was just amazing. I hardly know any other storms that are capable of doing this
That is why greensburg is my fave.
It’s setting was spot on and the amount of surprises was… gorgeous and terrifying at the same time
1:14 I didn't expect to hear the beginning of the song Time by Pink Floyd.
The EAS at the beginning alarmed my cat. He stopped purring, ears went back. Poor guy 😅
Excellent narration! Watched your Moore 2013 video as well. Great compilation! Subscribed, keep up the good work! I felt like I was there. I remember these tragedies when they happened and my thoughts and prayers are still with those affected by these storms.
Love how you coincide Dark Side of the Moon with the video. Very well done
The messed up thing is Kelseys mom was telling her to stay put in a house with no basement or storm shelter with a ef5 bearing down with a infant some great parent
Good storytelling, though I must point out that the music is very distracting and doesn't fit the situations being discussed at all. Why would you play upbeat sounding music while discussing a tornado ripping a town apart and killing people??? You should have ominous sounding music or none at all. Also the music is too loud and drowns your own voice out at times. Other than those criticisms, good video.
Would have been so much better without the music.
Good job on this video. Careful about licensing for your soundtracks. Cheers
That intro was terrifying.
Can u do a video on hurricane Katrina
I'm completely in awe of your excellent presentation, here. The storytelling, the music….just amazing! I'm so glad the town of Greensburg was rebuilt and flourishing now. My sincerest Condolences to the families who lost someone in this terrible tornado. 🙏🇺🇸❤️
