Took awhile to make this video and just fyi is slightly less polished than my usual videos. Im sure I pronounced several towns incorrectly haha. Also still working on the lighting and new studio. Trying to go for like a cozy weather bunker 80s basement vibe.. Anyway thanks for watching and be sure to check out some merch if you're interested!
Awesome video my guy. Keep em coming!!!!😊
I saw the 1985 Niles tornado from the distance a few miles away going the other direction. I was going to play in my band that evening at a club and we were going to head down that way to Giard, OH until it turned black. I couldn't believe the damage to a gas station took to the foundation on rt 422.
I was born and raised in Joplin, MO and I was in 1st grade when it hit. I was very lucky but it was just…devastating and honestly was a lot for me to understand. My elementary school got knocked down and we had to move to a warehouse after that.
don't forget the greenfield Iowa had winds of 250-290 mph
I lived in Louisville, Kentucky when on April 3, 1974, we had a F4 tornado.
I am so glad i wasn't around here in the 50s 😭 3:31
If going by the F scale only then 2021 and 2024 definitely had an F5 tornado and perhaps 2015
I still can't believe the tornado that struck Elkhorn just outside of Omaha didn't have any fatalities. I mean that thing got massive.
41:30 it’s spelled Gallatin TN
lol I’m here in South Texas listening to the wind pick up while watching this. Hopefully not Nocturnal Tornadoes tonight..
there's a tornado that's pretty interesting for 1966 as it occurred in my hometown. The Belmond, Iowa tornado. it claimed the most lives out of the 2 day outbreak and also the most injuries with 6 lives and 172 injuries due to it happening during our homecoming parade. The entirety of our town was destroyed to rubble and we had to completely rebuild, which we did within 10ish years I think? It's a pretty significant tornado in Iowa history and I wish people would talk about it more tbh.
Maybe the Plainfield tornado don’t have photo because of it was rain wrapped
You forgot to do the La Plata F4
Alaska EF6????
Though this was Old vanoss gaming 😭😭🖤
Probably the reason there where not many tornadoes in the early 60s is because that's when we did most of our nuclear bomb testing probably messed everything up in the atmosphere
I was in the 1990 Plainfield tornado I was 10 and was home alone with my cousin who was 13 I was visiting from Chicago and never heard of a tornado before being from Chicago and young in a different time then this day and age but that tornado is what made me obsessed with tornadoes and when I was 18 I left Illinois and went on the road storm chasing for the next 10 years till I met my wife in Lawrence Kansas and moved here to Kansas and been here since I'm now 43 and have 3 children and my oldest is only 8 and knows what I didn't learn till I was probably 14-16 it's amazing how times change I wish I had video but I was hiding in the basement
My town got mentioned! I live in Marietta OK. Usually not good when it's mentioned in the news though, since we are so small.
There is such thing as an EF6 you just have to use a machine that tracks wind speeds a EF6 tornado wind speeds are 319-379 MPH you can't really tell just by damage if it was an ef6 because it is so strong that it looks like an EF5
51:52 czechia mentioned!! 😎
39:52 every state in the lower 48 got hit except Utah
You could do a down burst video.
Loving the new background. The TVs are a nice touch.
It has been crazy for tornadoes here in Oklahoma this year.
12:10 This might seem crazy, but the reason for this is actually because the chances of a tornado actually striking a home are so low. Most people in the Midwest will live there their whole lives without ever having an encounter with a tornado (I'm one of those people; I've lived in the midwest for all 29 years of my life so far and have never been directly affected by one, though I've been close enough to hear one), so demand for basements for that reason are quite low, especially since basements are a liability during a hurricane, and your likelihood of encountering a hurricane at some point in your life in the states bordering the gulf is pretty near 100%. The main reason for wanting to have a basement is actually for heating. Basements are easier to keep warm in the winter, saving energy. This is a giant boon in the northern midwest states, where it gets quite cold.
I live in Tulsa which is about an hour-ish south of Barnsdall and I was literally watching the hook echo on radar on the TV as it was happening and that thing was so well defined it was textbook. Prayers to Barnsdall as they continue to recover. Keep it up!
If a tornado doesn't even leave a concrete slab like most ef5s, just a ditch where a house used to be, and doesn't sit on one spot like jarrell, would it be an ef6, obviously this isn't documented yet, but it is an idea and it hasn't happenned yet thankfully
The 2019 tornadoes that happened in Sioux Falls South Dakota had four tornadoes. They were all F2’s and one F3.
Love the video! However as a lifelong South Dakotan, you failed to mention the biggest outbreak in SD history with Tornado Tuesday June 24, 2003 67 tornadoes that evening including the most famous SD tornado the Manchester F4 the one that made Reed Timmer blow up
You have such phenomenal tornado vids. 🌪️
Another great Swegle video, a lot i didn't know about from the 1950s ? early 1960s, now i know. I started to take interest in Tornadoes in the 70s.( Of course really took off in 1974, i was living in Ohio at that time, need i say more ? My top 3 Tornadoes. Bridge Creek – Moore 1999, Joplin 2011 & Mayfield.ky.2021.( Which i believe was an E-F 5) love your videos, keep em coming.👍👍👍👍👍
I always look forward to your videos. The cozy look is good. Keep up the good work!! 👍🏾
I'm interested in the video from the crane that you mentioned
Hey! I loved this video. Could you do a video ranking rarity of the different types of moons? Similar with the “sky phenomenon rarity ranking” video but with moons
The crazy thing is I’m 13 was born in 2011 and live in Waco everyone here gets worried when we hear tornado sirens or have tornado warnings since downtown was destroyed
Jesus Christ Died for all yalls sins believe in him and you will be saved (not forcing my beliefs just sharing the love of God) 🙏❤️
BEAUREGARD MENTIONED🚨🚨🚨🚨
I remember the 2021 Mayfield tornado. I was watching Ryan Hall on YouTube at the time. I also remember the 2024 Nebraska tornado that missed Lincoln & Omaha. Again, I was watching Ryan Hall too. Those two tornado events, I will never forget!
Anybody ever told u that you look like a youtuber named Mav? 😂 yall favor.
This video deserves alot more likes! Thanks for putting this one together! 👍
You're a legend for making this video!
43:00 love the Resident Evil Save Room music🙌🏻🙌🏻
I work in Yazoo City MS and it’s notorious for being a tornado magnet. I live in Rolling Fork and it is still just a shadow of the little town it was. So many lives lost, homes destroyed, and people left to never come back. I don’t think Rolling Fork will ever fully recover.
What about the 1997 jarrell tornado
I don't know if anyone commented on it yet but nice use of the music from Death Note 😁
Fair reason to sub.
There was an EF2 tornado here in Port orchard a few years back, it wasn't a fatal tornado, thankfully, but could you help me understand why/how it happened? Tornados arnt something you see around here
