Wanted to point out a couple of mistakes in this video haha! No big errors, but I've been getting a few comments over some editing issues so I wanted to clear the air.
It says on screen "April 22" when I meant April 27th! Just a mis-type!
I also accidentally say El Reno, Texas instead of Oklahoma. (I think all the audio takes talking about Texas got to me LOL!)
Sorry if the issues hurt the viewing experience, it was a very long video with a lot of research, so I was bound to make some mistakes, but nothing in bad faith!
27:35 my mom dodged this tornado the Lawrence County f5 she was in Murray county at the time

How did you completely miss one of the most infamous tornadoes, the Tri-State Tornado? It happened in 1925. Not only was it the deadliest in U.S. history, but also an F-5.
Why hasnt there been an EF5 in 10 years, thats the longest gap by far in the video, are tornados weakening?
Unlike other natural disasters like Hurricanes, Earthquakes, and Tsunamis. There's just something about Tornadoes that makes me mesmerized and puts the feeling of dread in me. Think about it literal water vapor and wind becoming so powerful by just spinning around that they leave destruction everywhere they go. It makes me both appreciate and fear mother nature, or God depending on your beliefs.
I was 12 when the Plainfield tornado hit. I lived less than a quarter of a mile from the high school. Didn't hear a dang thing except the large hail. No warning.
What about the F5 that struck Fargo, North Dakota on June 20,1957?
Still waiting for next ef5 in Moore lol
Plainfield is a tornado magnet. 🌪
And yall thought that the wizard of Oz was fake
Witchata Falls and Shepherd AFB is in Texas not Kansas
There have been both F5 and EF5 (and likely more intense) tornadoes on Earth for billions of years (0:16). Hence, I depart.
My father watched as the Waco tornado went down his street. Across the street the next neighbors had just bought a brand new 1953 Buick. My father went across the street and told us folks and bad weather was coming with some hail in it and that it would be a good idea to cover the car up with some blankets so he helped as they put blankets and quilts on the car and waited them down with bricks and rocks. After the tornado passed the little carport that the Buick was under was gone as was the house across the street that it belonged to and the people who owned it. It blew the feathers off of chickens it picked up a steam train locomotives in all and moved it about 40 ft off of the tracks and set it down upright without hurting anything and it may telephone poles look like Cactus on one side from all the hay and straw that was stuck into it. Waco is not a gigantic town it's only has about 200,000 people in it but in 1953 there was only about 50,000 people living here. It is still the deadliest Texas tornado and is the 10th deadliest tornado in the United States to this day.
I was one of the first responders to the Jarrel TX tornado. It actually formed in my front yard as a small rope tornado not much bigger than a dust devil. It then traveled south for about 60 miles and became a monster.
You did a good job on this video. Thanks.
