What isn't mentioned in this video is that being in November, the coming winter delayed clearing and rebuilding efforts, leaving many without a home for a much greater time compated to spring tornados
Most homes in Oklahoma don't have basements unfortunately. The high water table and clay soil shied most builders away from building basements.
I love every second of this documentary.
Can you talk about the tornado outbreak of November 15th, 2005?
Why wouldn’t the state reapply for FEMA coverage at the rate they supply at $1.35?
That’s $17,550,000. Better than not getting anything right?
Excellent video! As a paramedic who responded there that day I can say that it is spot on! I will share some additional insight to the low death count as a thank you. Washington Illinois is a very religious (Christian) town and nearly everybody goes to church. The majority of the city was in church when the tornado struck. That along with the things you mentioned (basements, warnings) surely saved hundreds of lives. I made a slide show documentary of this tornado as well but it sucks in comparison to yours.
we live we die we laugh we cry!!!RIP
This is a ridiculous title, a tornado can't be evil. Devastating, powerful, destructive are all valid adjectives but the tornado doesn't have a consciousness allowing it to be evil
El Reno was most certainly an EF 5 brother. There’s no doubt about that. And it just might be the largest ever recorded in modern times.
as messed up as this sounds, what if tornadoes are just lil mini games god does and every time he looks at the statistics of the results, he be like "Oh yeah, high score!"
FEMA is a joke, i doubt they will help when the Cascaidan earthquake hits levlings WA OR ID, northern cali and southern BC
Why cant FEMA be sued? Or can they? What a disgusting organization. Those poor people actually needed help. Shame on our government for not stepping in.
How can a tornado be evil? Satan is evil. Biden is evil. Nature is not evil.
I remember my dad and I tracking this system setting up 4 days before everything hit and said if it comes together like the models show it is going to be a widespread outbreak. I was working at the time and left early to try and chase and the amount of tornado warned storms was like nothing i've ever seen and haven't witnessed since. I saw some much damage from all the different cells and could barley keep up with the systems. It was crazy to think this happened in November.
The crazier part was the temps plummeted after this and I think two weeks later we had a huge snow system that dumped 6 inches on the whole area. Was just a crazy November all together.
Respect Kris the gigachad taking a tornado to the face so we could see it
Yeah Tornado=evil
Disaster Funding was delayed (Denied?) because of the Rural location. Had this tornadic monster travelled through South Chicago, you can BET that, with Obama as Pres, there would have been a MUCH better emergency/food/shelter turnout by the Gub-Mint than what was experienced in the Washington and affected areas.
Oh, and Chris? I Subscribed and liked this video !! The amount of data that you give the viewer, with regard to the animated tornado, the location of the video that is being shared, and other factors as they come up? Fantastic. 5 Stars. PLEASE keep up the good work, so I wont have to listen to other amateurs screaming into their mics just to get a good look at a funnel !
Peace. Mark
That lady sounded like a big chicken
I am shocked by some of the people risking their lives to get footage of these tornadoes. Maybe they are not understanding how much danger they are in. To me, if it sounds like a freight train and its shredding houses where they stand, it's time to hide not film.
my sister lives in Washington She said this tornado is a really big deal in that town
Dang, I know this was over 10 years ago, but still sad for the victims. Especially the dude who died trying to save his cats.
Lol at the people who think FEMA was created to help people, and isn't a government slush fund. You poor, sweet summer children.
0:20 tornadoe 🗣️🔊❗️🔥🔥🥶🥶
The only complaint I have is that my blind self struggled to see the videos in the bottom corner. But! The map is super impressive. Thank you for sharing!
I was there when it happened. Never forget
Chris don’t know crap, apparently, about tornadoes and tornado season (s). Fall and spring are both big tornado times. He said fall was rare for tornadoes. Are you kidding?! Lmao 😂 crap video
incredible job with the satellite imaging changing in real time due to the tornado. excellent video!!!
The camera man never dies
Yep, Unacceptable. JUST LOOK HOW THEY DID MY BOY WINNIE SO DIRTY 12:38
8:09 That is a sound I've never heard a tornado make. It sounds like a chainsaw! Is this normal? I've watched a few tornado documentaries, and that sound has never been produced.
8:45 what did mr "kirs lancaster" think was gonna happen
