Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...
Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. Wind is caused by differences in atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds.
The wind is a powerful, invisible force. It reshapes landscapes, destroys buildings, and wrecks lives. In a single day a severe storm can cause over 10 billion dollars of damage, and when violent winds rip through a city they can kill dozens of people and seriously injure hundreds. Looking at the deadliest winds on Earth, within massive carpet-bombing hurricanes, and violent surgical-strike tornados, we meet the people who risk their lives to warn us of the storms. What is the fastest wind ever experienced? We discover just how fast a wind a person can take, and join the scientists in the front line, to discover the latest weapons in battle against these deadly winds. And can anything be done to reduce the wind's cause. To find out, we investigate the United States' most powerful storms to answer the question, can we tame the wind?

[@chloehennessey6813]

We have a storm shelter in the backyard. With food, hot water, satellite tv and phone. If tornadoes are even a .001% occurrence there’s no excuse for not taking a shovel to your yard and making some form of under ground shelter.

Crazy to watch this now and see the interview with Piotrowski and his comments & reaction to the May 3, '99 tornado. He had no idea that twelve years later he'd be right on the tail of an even more destructive and deadly one in Joplin - and also be the one to sound the alarm to the authorities. Not to mention be involved in the immediate search & rescue and recovery effort. If he got an award for '99, he ought to get a presidential citation for Joplin.

I can tell you, I made the mistake of going to Fernandina Beach and standing in those winds. You have never experienced a Hurricane until you're 350 lbs. and having to LEAN into 75 MPH winds, and you're still losing ground. Talk about crazy power!

[@lhaviland8602]

The actual story of the record wind on Mt. Washington is even crazier than described here. One of the meteorologists, the legendary Sal Paulgica, had to go outside and climb a ladder to de-ice the anemometer. While he was halfway up, a 210+ mph gust hit and he was pinned to the side of the building for over two minutes, unable to go up or down. He said it felt like laying under a 2 ton weight. Despite this, he carried on and somehow managed to complete the de-icing. Later, when the record gust occurred, they said the walls of their small, wooden hut bulged inward like sails! I've been to the summit, and the hut (which is still standing), is held down by heavy anchor chains draped over the roof and bolted into the ground! More than 80 years later, the 231 mph gust STILL stands as the fastest wind speed ever directly recorded by humans, the fastest wind speed ever recorded with an analog device, and as the fastest wind speed ever recorded outside of a cyclonic system. The observatory has something called the "Century Club", the membership of which is limited to those who can walk around the observation deck in 100+ mph sustained winds without grabbing onto the rail or ground for support. Many have tried, but few have succeed in joining.

[@fighter5583]

Personal opinion: which would you rather live through: Tornado or Hurricane? Personally I would rather live through a tornado. WHen it comes to them they can be hit or miss, plus they relatively small size in comparison to hurricanes makes it easier to avoid them. With hurricanes you'd probably at worst have to jump to the next state to avoid it entirely, plus with their large size can tell you how long it will take before they pass. Hurricanes can bring fierce winds, flooding in most areas, but they are also capable of producing tornadoes, which can be hell to live through.

[@LowerBayGoat]

I live on the gulf coast and been through all hurricanes the last 30 years, I'd take another 30 years against them vs any tornado in my backyard.

[@Rebel9668]

I'd rather go through a hurricane. Many tornadoes don't give you any warning time, especially if it's at night and you're asleep. Hurricanes can be predicted days in advance and give you time to prepare or to leave.

I'll take a hurricane, for the same reasons that Rebel9668 listed. It's all about prep time.

I'm curious wether it would even be possible to breath, in such high wind.

[@lhaviland8602]

One of the meteorologists at Mount Washington went outside on the day of the record gust during a slightly weaker gust of ~210 mph. He said that breathing was indeed quite difficult in the lee of the building where a vacuum was being formed.

[@nancyh.9188]

Yes it is difficult. I experienced that while living in Chicago when there was a blizzard.

[@kenrichards4838]

Suck the oxygen out of ur lungs right?

[@Warrendeansnipes]

Many people talk about the tornado sucking all the oxygen out. Again there's so many ambiguities to what happens in a tornado. But someone will get caught in an updraft that sucks all the oxygen away and actually suffocate yet her children right underneath her survive. That's sort of the standard story. So debris wind damage and even oxygen are all taken from one place and put another at will by the mighty tornado. This is the first DOC that I've seen them talk about 300 miles per hour wind. You see the guy can only handle 170 for a couple minutes. You can only imagine double that breathing would be impossible. One could only hope to be sucked up high enough to get oxygen and to be spinning fast enough that your centrifical Force makes your Landing a little bit softer. Tornadoes make humans say things like " well she lost a leg but luckily she was so muddy her stub got packed with mud and she didn't bleed to death obligatory thank God" . We are irascible creatures I have witnessed many tornadoes and we're so nuts there's part of you that just wants to stand there and let it take you it feels so, at one with nature I suppose. I have noticed men are more susceptible to this than women However when I traveled with tornado Chasers. Those women are singular of purpose and do everything the men do. Jumping out into 170 mile an hour winds to put a sensor in the ground. So in answer to your question. After all that Maybe ️ 😂 ❤️

[@Warrendeansnipes]

@@kenrichards4838 that is one way. The barometric pressure is another. And then just wind speed moving the oxygen faster than you can pull it into your lungs. Remember oxygen is particles floating around in the air. They can certainly be blown by way too fast. Talking about not being able to breathe is one of the things people say most that survived tornadoes. Yay nature. But really they are nature's vacuum. When it was animals and native peoples they just simply moved away from the storm. Now with our millions of people permanently embedded and thousands of people purposely placing themselves in the past of tornadoes. The damage is naturally greater. Yet, take that a step further factoring in population growth I bet overall tornado deaths are down since they would hit towns in even the 70s before Advanced radar.. Our population is double now what it was in the 70s. That's a lot more targets for an indiscriminate wind tunnel that are now becoming a mile wide with multiple tributary. It would appear that a mega cell will hit a major population area and will be of a magnitude substantial enough to do real damage. Our fair NYC is its own little Tornado Alley. And we are our own little micros weather system. Where an F4 tornado to hit Manhattan. There's a million people per square mile. All living in glass buildings. They say the buildings are windproof. Well Sandy took whatever it wanted. With low hurricane speeds. Actually a tropical storm at that point. Tornado triple speed winds hitting NYC. Well this is what kind of weirdos we are. I'm interested to see what happens now

[@laurabunyard8562]

I have experienced high wind in a cold front back in 2009. My anemometer stopped recording at 67 mph. A man who was a NOAA weather spotter said his anemometer recorded 90 mph. In 2012 a microburst occurred and blew rain in between the wall and roof at 82 mph where I was living. We don't have that much wind here, or I, I should say, I haven't seen wind that high before.

A thing that isn't noted, at least so far in my viewing, is the Enhanced Fujita scale which takes into account the *type* of building in regards to destruction caused.

Few people who have grown up in the more active parts of Tornado Alley ever want to even see a tornado, let alone try to move toward one. You can only spend so many hours in the basement as a small child waiting for the tornado alert to end before the experience marks you for life. Not to mention how eerily quiet it gets, and the weird color the sky turns when one is really approaching. People from the rural Midwest are known for being tough and stoic, but I can guarantee you that a tornado is the one thing that will scare the shit out of any farmer. To be honest, just looking at the tornadoes in some of these clips makes me feel sick to my stomach. I think these scientists and "tornado chasers" who go out and try to actually approach tornadoes are fucking idiots.

Oh i never said a cabin would. You should read my text above more carefully!!!

[@kingwacky184]

Zeak Yes I know but you brought up new houses THESE DAYS I was talking about a 1930s cabin, no reason to even mention buildings these days that is why i said what I did.

[@mike112769]

+King Wacky ...I beg to differ. A properly-built log cabin can take an obscene amount of punishment before it collapses. A log cabin is basically built out of tree trunks; get the corners right and it's not moving unless the tornado gets right on top of it. Peace.

A tornado can put a tooth pick through a two by four without breaking the toothpick

[@mgytitanic1912]

Is it just me, or does it seem that houses in the Oklahoma area don't have foundations? If this is the case, can someone tell me why? I'm assuming there is a reason.

[@keithgregory7197]

+Justin Lee I have relatives who live in Norman. They have a shelter room in the floor of there garage but most homes do not because of the rock that makes up the ground and it is quite costly to go below ground level so most people live in a slab home with no basement or below ground safe room. Sounds crazy to me in the heart of tornado alley but that's the scoop!

[@LiseAdler]

To reduce your risk of being injured or killed in a tornado: Don't live in an a place called "Tornado Alley". Hurricanes? Don't live on the beach (or hang out there waiting for the storm to come in) or below sea-level. Volcanos? Don't live at the base of them. Erosion? Don't build your home on a cliff facing the ocean. Some things are common sense.

[@fighter5583]

You don't have to live on the beach to get affected by a hurricane, which can be as big as 500 miles or more in diameter. I remember back in 2003 when Isabell came rolling through. I live no where near a beach, yet I lost cable (not power thankfully though it flickered all night), and we had downed trees and powerlines.

[@jmullentech]

fighter5583 haha Yeah, tell me about it. I remember Floyd and Fran... good god. We were without power for a couple weeks with both storms. With Floyd, we couldn't even get to the main road to get into town due to flooding for a solid week. We're a solid 120 miles inland, at that. Pretty impressive!

[@JetFire5349]

see here's the thing, people build their houses on volcanoes because people have to make a living somehow, and for some that's farming, volcanic ash makes soil rich with nutrients and absorbs most of the moisture, allowing it to be fed to the plants, people build their houses on the prairie because again good farming land, people live on the beach because its sunny year round, and well people who live bellow sea level and on a cliff facing the ocean, well you've got me there, I really cant figure out why people do stupid stuff like the last two

[@Rebel9668]

I live in Southern Indiana and we got storm damage in 2007 from a Hurricane that hit Galveston Texas and still had hurricane force winds by the time it got up to here, It knocked down trees all over the place including one that fell towards me while I was outside, had I not ran down the hill I'd be dead now. Indiana is about as far inland in the US as you can get, so to say don't live near the coast? It doesn't matter. No matter where in the world you live there are natural disasters of one kind or another and if not, then there are man made disasters to compensate for it, lol

[@KieraCameron514]

Lise Adler So, basically don't live on earth.

[@cubabound2049]

[@michaelcommiso2008]

why dont they make it that everyone house now in the 21 century should have a storm shelter they have to have a storm shelter

[@xaenon]

A number of reasons, actually. One, it's not always practical. In some areas, the water table is only a handful of inches below the surface, or there may be other factors. Even a basement in areas like these is problematic. Two, it's statistically unnecessary. The odds of being directly affected by a tornado are exceedingly remote, even if you actually live square in the middle of Tornado Alley. Yes, when they hit, it's devastating, but evaluated on a per-capita basis, the chances of being hit or glanced by a tornado are very small. Seriously, I lived in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio all my life aside from a four-year hitch in the Navy. I've been through probably a hundred tornadoes - actually had eyes on a half-dozen or so. 55 years, and never actually been closer than about a mile. Many people feel it isn't worth the expense.

[@flossie5432]

So it's expensive to build a storm shelter in or below each house.However,a designated shelter for a street or an area should be part of government strategy in these high -risk areas.(much like the air-raid shelters we used to great effect during the blitz in the uk. )

[@xaenon]

​@@flossie5432 That isn't a bad idea, but the sad fact is, it just isn't practical to build and maintain a shelter like that. For example, it can't be left open 24/7 for any and all to just wander in; it'll get vandalized and/or appropriated. So, at the very least, it'll have to be kept locked. Who's got the keys? And will he/she be around at the critical moment? You can't have someone guarding it or manning it at all times. And what happens if the one with the keys ISN'T around at the critical moment? People trying to get into that shelter will be OUTSIDE, exposed directly to the danger. I think you'll agree that, given the incredibly short warning of a tornado, you'd be better off staying in your house, where at least you have SOME protection, instead of risking a run down the street in the path of a tornado to a shelter that MIGHT be locked. Your heart's in the right place, it really is, but in the end, everybody has to play the odds, and everyone has to assess a risk-to-cost factor. And for any particular individual, the risk of being hurt or killed by a tornado is very remote.

[@nolgoodrum2122]

Hurricanes can also spawn tornadoes too in most cases.

[@taipan8021]

Powder? Then a big glob drops where? Contaminate? Does it continue to exsorb ? If so imagine it falling in the oceans.

Tornado winds over 300 miles per hour. How does Mt. Washington still have the world record highest winds?

[@mjinba07]

44:08 The hubris of trying to control the weather is astounding. We're haphazard with precautions like proper building construction, maintaining storm breaks, or even just not allowing so much population in areas typically hard hit by tornadoes, hurricanes, floods and storm surges. But oh, we're going to stop the storms and continue living wherever and however we want. We're going to dump tons of silver iodide or "a polymer based powder" or something else without any clue about secondary effects on the ecosystem, and without any understanding of how these weather events may be key to how the planet functions. Sometimes we humans are just total idiots.

[@harryparsons2750]

[@geminitiger957]

The probability of being hit by a significant tornado is actually very low, although there have been some freak cases where significant tornadoes have struck a city or town twice. Even then, its still rare for it to happen. Its rare enough to just even see a tornado, let alone a significant one capable of mass damage. Tornado proof homes just aren't a priority. They'd be ugly, dark, cramped, and expensive homes to build - if you want a truly tornado proof house (one which can withstand surface winds of 250mph). I for one lived smack dab in the middle of tornado alley for 15 years and never saw a tornado. Knock on wood. Its rare... rare enough that you don't have to build your homes based on these events.

[@urmomsahoe1]

GeminiTIGER I heard about these things called dome homes. Made out of concrete and fairly big. I also haven't seen a tornado but I have had a few hit around me one being the Joplin one a few years back. One hit the outskirts of town but nothing close to me.

[@geminitiger957]

Drcool52 I would say in a city like Moore, OK that they should start building these dome homes and dome buildings for schools and stuff. I mean Moore's been hit by 2 historic F5's and 1 F4. It just doesn't get any more tornado prone than that. They should at least start building their schools with this dome design. 9 out of 24 people killed in the 2013 Moore F5 were children.

[@urmomsahoe1]

GeminiTIGER The schools would have to be in sections. Meaning there would be domes over the classrooms but the halls won't be protected. The domes can't be build big enough to cover a hole school, but classrooms would be safe to stay in during one. Although digging a storm shelter into each class would be more cost effective instead.
