To this day there are vast areas of forest missing between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham - it looks like western Kansas instead of the south. I know a lot of the trees were harvested and cleared after being destroyed by the tornado (to prevent bug infestations likely) but a lot of it was just scrubbed away, and there is still red dirt where once was thick underbrush. The views from Hannah Creek Rd are surreal!

I love the mention of the remnants of a road at 13:37! Really gives a very "moment-by-moment" look into how much these powerful storms change what was once a common landmark into an insignificant-looking splotch of asphalt.

I really got into all that you were describing, and what I found interesting, are the little stories you tell of certain places along the path of the tornado. It's like you make it a bit more personal and we're not just looking at someone's house, or a store or a building. I like how you keep things in perspective too. The path of the tornado, any tornado actually, is called a SCAR. On this video, the Tornado Scar was very evident. Anyway, great work, I've have now subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos. Any chance you may a do a video on the April 2011 outbreak here in North Carolina? Thanks!

So sad watching these images.... I couldn't imagine what I'd do if my house were to be completely destroyed by a tornado... I think many people moved somewhere else to have a "new start" in a new place, without having to deal with the constant reminder of that tragedy of a day back in 2011. Thank you for making this video; it certainly left me with a sense of nostalgia and sadness I must say. I will fortunately never (knock on wood) have to deal with something like that as I live in EU, although I am certainly fascinated by these incredible wonders of nature.

It is amazing how close we were always thought if only I would have just put my phone on record and put it in the window I would have had an insane video of it. When we walked out we thought we were hit by the tornado because trees were down everywhere and debris was like all stacked up in the road. You couldn't see anything so we thought we were hit but they ended up using our front yard as a place where they were bringing the wounded because the ambulance got stuck in our yard. That day I will never forget and I will never look at tornadoes the same. My kids are absolutely petrified of any storm still to this day. And yes James Spann is the man!!

Here’s one for you: on April 3, 1974 (I was in 4th grade at the time), an EF-4 struck the town of Xenia, Ohio and did massive damage. I lived in the neighboring town of Beavercreek. It flew over us and touched down in Xenia.I believe it was the worst ever on record at that time. Too bad we didn’t have Google Earth back then, the images would have been comparable with Joplin. Xenia got hit again with another tornado in the late 1990’s although not as severe. Beavercreek got hit 2 years ago this coming Memorial Day, I would love to see you do a commentary on that one. Love your videos!

When you were looking around on 15th Street, the large buildings in the background are Druid City Hospital. There is a glass waiting area down the center of the brick building facing 15th Street. Imagine the people in those waiting rooms! The Chipotle building is actually new. The abandoned gas station was empty because of structural concerns. It has recently been released to the owners. The step father of a former co-worker was killed in the Holt area. He was on the phone with him when the Tornado hit. My friend rushed over, having to go on foot for blocks. He found his step father, and they got him to the hospital, but he later passed from internal injuries. I was at work at WM in Brent AL that morning, when the EF3 went through Eoline. We experienced very strong winds, and had a cell tower right next door, broken in half. Our sliding doors in front were also blown in. I believe that there was one fatality in Eoline.

Never EVER want to see that type of day again. My house was hit by the Hackleburg tornado as it passed through Limestone County. We had people in Limestone County that were running from one house to another to take shelter that were picked up and killed on Rosie Road. We had blue jeans falling from the sky in Tanner, which were picked up from the plant in Hackleburg, which I believe was 70 miles away. Many of us watched things like boards, windows and other things crash down from the sky as the tornado was at its closest point. The sirens were constantly going off that day, and then when the big power towers were hit by the tornado that went through, we had no sirens. So many stories that day. If I had more time and talent, I'd love to put together a book of survivor stories.

Ny the way, more people actually died in the Albany tornado but they were undocumented immigrants. Two mobile home parks were obliterated but most stories do not talk about them, trailers twisted sometimes twice, no longer recognizable as mobile homes. Previous coworker lived in one and his was one of three to make it through. There was a small group of immigrants living in one of the homes that were not seen afterwards and this was true for the other trailer park as well in radium springs. A husband and wife tried to use the tornado to hide a missing child's case and the child was never found. When the stories and investigation got fishy and days of search attempts along the debris path failed to turn up the body, the news stopped covering it and it became a possible homicide. Parents claimed the child walked away during the tornado and was gone afterwards, then they couldn't provide any pictures of the child other than a couple years prior...in an age of smart phones and constant pictures. Very sad situations from that tornado and it moved FAST. Got to witness the giant wall of wet clay from about 1/4 mile away as it was destroying one of the churches wiki talks about. An abandoned home built in the 1910s-1920s was about 200 yards from that church and remains standing, while the church was leveled. Dont think it was as powerful on the northern side as it was its southern and eastern sides. On the Marine base, it put debris through bullet proof glass with ease and ruined many older soft skin military vehicles and equipment. It was hidden on its southern and Eastern flanks but distinguishable from the north where I saw it. Black rotating mass with a clay colored wedge and grey backdrop of rain. Intense embedded supercell in that squall line I guess and it went for over 70 miles.

I always wondered what had happened with that dinky old gas station that stayed like that. I always wondered why that stretch of road was so much worse than other parts of town. Looking now at the path of something I had never even considered to connect to my personal experiences is absolutely mind boggling. It's incredible to see those effects. Hell, there's a Whataburger just up the road now and I went there damn near every week I was in school. I always wondered why that area felt so haunted.

Seeing all this damage, I'm actually surprised not a lot more people have died. Also, it's sad too so much empty space left by the houses that were destroyed even after many years.

4:37 you get my subscription. This level of data presentation with no drama; (background staccato music) effects, is what makes my time on KZbin worth it. Thanks and you sound fairly Young, you know our military could benefit from your abilities. But doing this is really cool. We all need more like you, and like 80% less "wanna'bes".

Would love to see you examine the point where the two tornadoes crossed paths in Moore, OK> There is a small plot of land that was hit by both.

the scars are still very visible in pleasant grove when you drive through in 2023. it hit like 9 blocks from where my (then 88) year old great grandmother lived alone, and the damage several blocks over was gut wrenching and otherworldly. newly built neighborhoods and things only accentuate the scarring

Could you please do one of these for Phil Campbell - hackleburg tornado please? It was the worst tornado that happened that day. Also it seemed the birmingham tornado was like over a mile wide by time it reached birmingham! Do you know how wide it was?
@chvfd6873 жыл бұрын
Mile and a half. With the mesocyclone and wall cloud pulled down like it was the damage path was close to 3 miles wide according to WBRC6

That next to the Hackleburg tornado had to be about the scariest tornado I've ever seen.

I remember watching this one live on the news. I was in New Orleans at my grandparents house eating Popeye’s for dinner, and I just remember it flinging tractor trailers around like playthings.

At 9:13 you pass right over what was my house….the dead end street just south of the small lake. You just can’t imagine how many huge old growth trees there were in that area.

could you do a video on the Greensburg, KS 2007 tornado path?
@SoCal7803 жыл бұрын
Being a truck driver, I drove through Greensburg, Kansas many times starting with right after the tornado hit. I was amazed at how it passed over miles of open fields just to touch down in a small town in the middle of them and completely destroy it. I drove through there many times after on subsequent trips just to check on their progress. The people of Greensburg are very resilient and they rebuilt that town in record time. I was so impressed. It’s been about 10 years since I was there last but you could barely tell that the tornado had ever occurred. My hat goes off to the people of Greensburg! 👍

I would love to see you do the 3/3/2020 "Easter Tornado" in Nashville, Tennessee. It destroyed the church I was raised up in, and got married in: Saint Johns Lutheran Church in Donelson, TN (East Nashville).

I remember when this happened, here in NC we had multiple ones too, think around 30? If i remember correctly they weren’t as significantly strong but when our tornadoes come its bc of hurricanes not this early in the season
