When you think of December, you normally wouldn’t expect to hear about tornadoes. However in 2021, December tornadoes were anything but scarce. This was an EF4 tornado that happened on December 10th 2021 near Caruthersville Missouri, and this is the same storm a few hours later, a different tornado decimating the entire town of Mayfield Kentucky, which eventually went on to break records. In this video, we’re going to look at the events that caused this to happen, and dive deeper into one of the most historic December tornado outbreaks, and one of the most historic tornadoes, in history.

First
there is no way this beast wasnt an EF5. Also funny enough I just rewatched your tornado video yesterday and was like 'god I wish this guy would upload again.' amazing video.
I was on my couch monitoring this storm for hours on my couch just watching how close this monster could have came to my city of Bowling Green. I went to bed after tracking it for many hours, went to sleep for like 5 minutes and got woke up by my NOAA radio stating a huge tornado was in the area. A few hours prior, I saw a strong cell at the Tennessee Kentucky border headed in the way of my city and warned my friends hours ahead. The tornado was really close to my home, missed it by 8 whopping minutes. That night changed so many lives, and it was sad that this happened in such a time when tornadoes aren't supposed to be very active, and killed so many right before Christmas. God bless all of those impacted.
When I think of December I would expect to hear much about tornadoes…… …..cause everyone does a Mayfield documentary lol, good video btw
O h m y g a w d- HE POSTED AGAIN EVERYONE WATCH THIS NOW HE POSTED AGAIN YOU KNOW ITS GONNA BE GOOD!
I used to live in the plains of Dallas, and tornadoes were no joke there, they can be very unpredictable, great video, and glad to see you're still active!
Great Video, love the envrionmental talk and how the setup caused this to happen!
Yay, you’re back! Another excellent one. You have talent and skill for this type of documentary.
Great Video, You are really good at making them suspenseful.
Great upload and nice narration, keep up the good work!
Crazy stuff
The legend has returned
Great video 🌪
Baffled that it did not get an EF5 rating but at the same time not the takeaway from this. This thing was a beast, IMO it rivals some of the tornadoes from the 2011 outbreak in terms of consistency.
EDIT: For your next project you should focus on more "freak" outbreaks like Nashville/Cookeville 2020 or if not try Vilonia, Washington, OR maybe some forgotten tornadoes like Lawrenceburg, TN 1998, or that random Yellowstone EF4. Good video altogether.
EDIT 2: missed a word in the sentence.
I love the intro to this, especially with the DVD menu effects that you added. I hope you keep making more documentaries like this because this is amazing!
U can’t stop god
That tornado came for a reason
What other videos would you guys like to see on this channel? For now preferably tornadoes/tornado outbreaks but I will eventually branch out and away from them. Anything disaster related works.
5:14 funny moment
I have a friend from college who lives in the mayfield area. I immediately checked up on her via Facebook messenger, and she was ok physically but not mentally
Fun fact: the video for lifetime by three days Grace was filmed in mayfield, KY after the tornado went through.
You should talk about El Reno Oklahoma, May 31st 2013
Mayfield was an Ef 5 and they’re just afraid to rate it as such.
I see you're dabbling into analog horror editing, I love that genre, but i also appreciate that you haven't overused it in this video. Less is more, but damn does it go good with weather related content.
