Thanks for watching everyone! We're getting close to 100K. SO AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH :). What significant years did I miss?? Also what year would you put at number 1?
The Palm Sunday tornado went through my hometown of Berne, Indiana. Both my parents were in high school and lived though it in different towns. My dad was closing the glass storm door on his house when the glass broke, flew in at him, and then flew out into the tornado. My mom saw stop signs flying down the street. It happened just as evening services were dismissing from church.
Fun fact. The June 1990 tornado hit the street where I work now, which is also about two miles away from where I grew up.
It's also the tornado that put the fear of the Lord in me when it comes to tornadoes. I guess you can be pretty impressionable at age 6…
Another fun fact. My parents watched the roof get torn off of the apartment they were living in back during the 1974 tornado outbreak. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that same tornado was the same one that hit Xenia.
Jonesboro AK is as bad as Moore
Slight correction, the 2011 super outbreak is the largest
I just come here hoping to get some popcorn.
El Reno is forgotten by normies. Storm enthusiasts have it in mind all the time. 13:05
I was just a kid, but I remember the April 3, 1974, tornado outbreak very well – I lived in southern Indiana, northwest of Louisville, KY. I still have nightmares of tornadoes to this day.

What an interesting channel, have you ever done a video on the Ruskin Heights tornado in 1957?
Imagine chilling in your new crib in 1683 and suddenly a f5 tornado appears (you’re from England and have never seen anything past 100 mph)
2011?
I subbed 😁
Would love to see a video on the town that got hit by 2 F5’s within hours of each other
The Plainfield tornado is infamous for the fact that the NWS in the Chicago-metro area did not issue a warning or even a watch for it at any point (in fact, a tornado warning only came AFTER the tornado had lifted). There are a number of factors contriubting to this: Poor communication between weather offices, ground cluter from 1957 radar (this was before Doppler Radar was installed), lack of spotter networks, and a hesitancy on the forecasters part due to criticism that they'd issued too many warnings in years past when nothing happened.
The pronunciation of Chillicothe…… Chilli coth ee
And again. The PROPER WAY to pronounce Xenia, is ZEEN YUH.
I heard that cheeky use of Half Life music. Love it
eyyyo you should do a video on the tornado outbreak in Northern Colorado in 2008, specifically the windsor tornado. I live less than 10 miles away from where the tornado finished its path and did most of it's damage. Never in my life have I ever even seen a tornado let alone 3 at the same time and all within just a period of like 2 hours. I was home alone and so scared that the only thing I could think to do was bring the dogs in the bathroom with me and turn the lights off while I laid in the bathtub. My mom likes to give me shit because I crammed my drum kit in the tiny little bathroom with me and 3 big ass dogs. I was just protecting what was important to me lol. But my girlfriend and a buddy of mine were both in the school that was less than a couple hundred feet from being directly hit by the tornado and it even picked up a loaded train car, tore it from the track and threw it about 300 feet across the road onto a local manufacturing building. Only ended up killing one person, and the main windsor tornado was EF3 but we don't normally get tornadoes this close to the mountains. Eastern colorado gets hit all the time, but northern colorado rarely ever sees any tornados let alone like 3 or 4 all at the same time within a 40 mile radius of each other. My mom was driving home and had to take shelter under an overpass that was just soon after hit by another tornado that briefly touched down in western weld county. It'd be interesting to see a proper little short form documentary on what happened here that isn't just a mediocre weather channel TV segment like we ended up getting. I think even denver saw a tornado briefly touch down that day and they've not had tornados since early 1900s if im not mistaken.
that sexy red dress at 7:43
Please, Guin, Alabama is pronounced gyooin
That popcorn back there is making me hungry! Great video!
great video, your tornado content is always interesting, onto 100k!

Hey I’m wondering if you could cover the July 8, 1927 Minnesota tornado where a photo by Lucillle Handberg took a photo that was used in the album covers Stormbringer by Deep Purple and Tinderbox by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
2023 alreayd looking bad and places like illinois already have exceeded yearly average tornados
Awesome video! This has become of my fav channels, instant click when i see a swegle studios vid
5:12 You forgot to mention the saddest part about the Munson family. I looked them up and it turns out that the parents, Gerald Charles Munson and Mercedes Munson, survived. The six fatalities were all their children, with the 7th child being the only survivor. It gets worse when you find out that the children died on June 20th, which was their mother's birthday.
Another fact about the Munson family was that their child, Jeanette Irene Munson, was subject to a Pulitzer Prize photo of her body being carried away from the wreckage.
2011 would be number 1 in my opinion but I’m biased. I used to live in Joplin, grew up 30 minutes south of there, had family in Joplin, and I still spend a lot of time there. It was insane how much of the city it destroyed. My wife’s great grandmother survived by hunkering down in her bathroom, which was the only room left standing in her house.
Chillicothe is pronounced "chill-eh-coth-ee."
My mother was a survivor of the palm Sunday outbreak in Indiana.
During the 1974 Tornado Outbreak, my dad saw a tornado on the ridge behind my aunt's house in Martin County, KY. However, years later I read that there had not been a tornado recorded there ever, so I reported it. I just found out the first recorded tornado was in 1972, and there has been tornados since then.
Xenia, Ohio here. All of the old timers tell their stories. It’s a legend.
5:33 I live in Ruskin heights it’s weird havin a lil shout out from something so deadly
I am pretty sure out of my whole family I'm most likely to die the tornado because wherever one actually touches down I'm curled up in bed refusing to move they literally put my bedroom down in the basement right next to the stairs just to make sure I'll be fine
me when hardadouz enviromnent starts playing: WAIT, THATS HALF LIFE
wooo i love squiggly winds that destroys everything in their path
i am sorry to all the victims of squiggly winds for making this horrendous joke
Wow, I can't believe that dallas got hit by an F3 and an EF3
