We up here in Wisconsin Wausau Merrill area had two F1. One near Edgar, and one near Unity Wisconsin. As a whole we are lucky here. Knock on wood. These tornadoes were on Tuesday night

[@p.little.oldman.2779]

Reed Timmer. Has the best tornado footage ever from just a day or so ago. The video on KZbin is called the most incredible tornado video ever captured. Truly incredible 🤩

Weird weather in the US. Like the devils day where temperature hit around 117 degrees F Or 42.2 C

[@JoeSchwartz-yx3jg]

By us we usually see the coulda rolling in, animals disappear a eerie silence occurs then the wind picks up. The sky its color turns a sickly yellow. Tornado sirens blare its a strange happenstance.

[@shibboleth5768]

I live in Joplin, Mo. The Midwest has gotten hit hard this year with tornadoes. Sulpher, OK, Elkhorn, NB, Barnsville, OK and just the day before last, Greenfield, IA (that one was catatstrophic). We got hit in Joplin a few weeks ago with an EF1 tornado. Came right through my neighborhood around midnight and it was rainwrapped. Came in so fast, we had no warning. Tore up the neighborhood, uprooted fully mature 60 foot trees and snapped over 60 telephone poles, ripped up roofs, etc. And that one was minor compared to the big one we had in 2011. No one has EVER forgotten that. It changed our city forever. You should check out the youtube video: "Tornado Alley - Real Time Tornado: Joplin, Missouri". Highly recommend.👍

[@aquamarinerose7639]

Must have horrifying to have another rainwraped tornado come through again even if was weak.

[@whistlinturbo]

It was Barnsdall and Bartlesville that got hit, not Barnsville, though that's a pretty good mash up of the two names. Barnsdall took the full brunt of the storm. EF4 damage if I remember correctly. By the time it got to Bartlesville, it had weekend significantly due to being overtaken by a much broader, non-rotating storm. It still did some damage, but nothing like what Barnsdall saw.

[@shibboleth5768]

@@whistlinturbo Ah I keep getting those two names mixed up. Thanks. Yes I meant Barnsdall. They got hit bad.

[@silace8627]

I still think about that EF1 tornado. I also live in Joplin and woke up to the roar of that tornado. There was no warning, and we weren't told until the next morning that it was a tornado. There are actually people still repairing the damages and branches everywhere in my neighborhood. One of my neighbors had a whole tree in front of their doorway. Though, it was still nothing compared to the 2011 tornado.

There’s a documentary on here called Terrible Tuesday about the Wichita Falls tornado in 1979. It’ll scare the shit out of you.

[@stepbino2321]

Years ago, I was driving through Nebraska ... driving across country (very flat country). The sky and clouds were a slate gray and it was low. In the distance I saw funnel clouds begin to pop up... thankfully, they were a long way away but it was frightening since I was driving in their direction ....

[@TinfoilHatThoughts]

Living in tornado alley as a kid, we had monthly tornado drills. First Tuesday of the month at 10:50 am we would pretend there's a tornado. They did try to scare the heck out of us but they needed to. 400 kids in 1-2 grade with only 1 adult for every 20-25 of them.... they MUST listen and know exactly what to do. A grade school was hit in one of the Moore Oklahoma tornadoes. Thank God they knew what to do.

[@j.j.9123]

Yes, Growing up in the Midwest, I had those drills at school as a child. Today, I’m a teacher, so I teach those drills but unfortunately, I aldo have to teach lockdown drills. My students are more scared of an attack on the school than a hurricane.

When the cool springs and the hot summers clash, there WILL BE tornadies! Same thiung happens in the fall when the warm weather and cool weather fight again and tear up a bunch of stuff! There are no sirens where I live because I'm out in the country like many, many others. We jut have to keep the TV .... and if no power, the emergency radio!

[@Messywildcat78]

We just had 2 tornados hit the city down the road a couple days ago. They weren’t very big but there was ton of damage

[@commanderpinkie7617]

Yes, they do test the sirens. I used to live near a nuclear power plant, and they’d test the system once a month…However I lived close enough that if there WERE a meltdown, I was within the “fireball…” AKA, I’m fucked if it happened. But I wouldn’t feel or know it even happened. It would be so quick. Oh yeah, they used to give us a yearly calendar and at the back of it, included our location and the nearby areas, explaining the type of damage we’d experience based on our location. Only reason I found out I was within the “fireball”

[@markhager632]

First Saturday of the month at 12:00 noon they test tornado alarms around me

[@nugxbug]

[@KaseyWithers]

4:43 so sirens are technically only meant to be heard outside, if youre in a house you might not hear them. Its to tell people outdoors they need to get inside. Thats why warnings are issued over the radio, television, and our phones now, so you have multiple ways of receiving a warning. I assume if a town doesn't have a siren, they should receive warnings through other means! I know here in Salt lake city, Utah (where tornadoes are extremely rare so we dont have sirens), our only major tornado was broadcast on television and an emergency alert was sent through the radio so people knew it was happening. We still dont have sirens because theres almost no need for them.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

For the first 50 years of my life, we rarely got tornado here, but the last few years we are getting them a lot, it has become expected, but we still don't have any alert system. We all just tune in to a weather channel if storms roll in.

[@Vanessa-ok3ys]

[@vvi95a]

yeah my town/city has one high school so a lot of my friends live or lived out in the country. ive had two friends where neither of them live near sirens and they relied on me solely for information about the sirens going off. one of them had horses and other animals and the other just lived far enough out in the township territory to not live near sirens. literally so fucking scary when im not paying attention to the weather and one of them texts me “are your sirens going off?”

[@razrv3lc]

A lot of places are starting to phase out sirens anyways. They're costly to upkeep and not super reliable. Everyone has a cell phone now and push notifications for warnings are much easier to receive.

[@artdollist]

There are 2 stages: A tornado watch, which generally covers a large swath. A watch means that conditions are present that could generate a tornado. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted on the ground. This covers a specific area.

[@KaseyWithers]

Warnings can also be issued without a visual, after the weather radar data reaches a certain threshold that matches tornado Genesis, the national weather service will issue a "radar indicated" warning. Luckily with storm chasers we are getting more visuals on these storms, but the NWS will issue a warning without specifically spotting one on the ground :)

[@kevinlee6003]

You missed the last and most dangerous stage: Tornado Emergency

[@Shadow-hw3kn]

That only happens if a very destructive tornado has been spotted with the potential for a lot of damage.

[@artdollist]

@@kevinlee6003 I was mainly trying to differentiate between a watch and a warning.

[@novastardom2689]

​@@kevinlee6003theres also multiple stages of tornado warnings, radar indicated, confirmed, PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation), and then the top of the heap, Tornado Emergency, which is for the worst

[@dadsvespa]

Joplin is a name that strikes fear into the hearts of anyone who knows what that name evokes. A monstrous tornado of the highest level, destroyed lives, ripped through neighborhoods leaving not one tree standing. A scorched Earth. Homes wiped off their foundations like someone took a giant knife and scalped the land. The name Joplin and what happened there is legend. It will be forever remembered and spoken by those who lived through that night, and then passed down from generation to generation.

[@TornadoDude083]

as a Oklahoman most tornadoes that hit my town were at night its truly terrifying running to the shelter during hail , constant lightning and Blaring sirens at midnight, while the ground is flooding from torrential rainfall

[@cancergirlval1859]

Imagine you & your family are asleep 🛌 and all of the sudden your phone alarm 🚨 goes off (and the sirens outside).. it says something to the effect of “Tornado Warning in your location, life threatening, eminent danger. Take shelter Immediately”. You aren’t even fully awake, might be still foggy & trying to focus your eyes.. and you’ve only got 30 seconds to a minute or two, to grab your babies, children, animals, and try to get to shelter. If you don’t have a basement, maybe it’s a storm cellar outside. And you’re trying to carry you kids, animals, maybe a bag 💼 in drenching, torrential rain, maybe while being pelted by wind, hail & debris, and trying to run to the shelter. And the sound.. people compare it to a freight train 🚊, but it’s more like if the train was as big as the sky , and the sound magnified to match.. and everything reverberates with it, you feel it & even the buildings can vibrate. Then the sounds of flying debris pelting or smashing everything. The biggest danger is the flying debris, which becomes flying shrapnel at 100-300 miles per hour. Imagine a fence post flying with such force, it pierces thru the walls of your house. They say find an interior room with no outer walls (like an interior closet or bathroom, and try to cover yourself, maybe with something like a mattress .

I’m from Iowa. I was thru a half dozen tornadoes as a child. You open all the windows and doors in your house. You go down into your basement. You get under the heavy table along the west wall. You get down on hands and knees, head down. The tornado passes over your house. It sounds like a freight train passing by. After, you go back up. Maybe some of roof is ripped off, or some windows broken. It’s no big deal.

Same here but in Central Ohio. If we had time we grabbed couch cushions, pillows and blankets to take with us to cover ourselves.

Tornadoes are the spiders of natural disasters. Adam, your channel deserves to grow by 10,000 a day, you are that good and incredible.

[@pokerpariah]

I’ve been in major natural disasters in my life. From hurricanes, flash floods, tornados and earthquakes (San Francisco Oct 17th 1988) and amongst all of these tornados are the scariest. You can predict and plan around hurricane and flash floods. With earthquakes you mainly need to watch out for falling items and possible fires getting started. With tornadoes they can uproot your whole house and they are sudden. It can be a light gentle rain one moment then becomes completely silent the next followed by what feels like a locomotive driving full speed through your living room.

[@nancystanton955]

I grew up in Central Ohio in a small town that was the county seat. It has about 15,000 people. Every Friday they test the tornado/emergency warning sirens exactly at noon.

You can survive being buried, burned, and watered down. But you can't survive being thrown 200 feet into the air and land. Edit: If it seems like a tornado is chasing you, it's because IT IS. Tornados are attracted to heat, and will go out of their way to find ANY heat source. That includes YOU...

[@nikikinsnw]

When I had my second child, there was a tornado warning and nurses brought all the new mothers into the hall sitting us in chairs. Reassuring us that our babies were in a much stronger area being in the nursery. It felt almost like being in school again when we would go into the hall except I wasn't sitting on the floor and had a gown on. I live in Dixie Alley and have been in 2 tornados as a kid, and at least 6 as an adult, with minimal damage except one where people were killed. I've been in a few also that went right by where my home was, like one side of the street was wrecked and our side was ok. Nothing higher that a EF 3 though. Those were still scary.

[@SkiesTurnedGrey]

I've always thought it would be awesome to see one in person...but far, far away. From a very safe distance far out of the tornado's path. I think they are fascinating and awe-inspiring, but it's important to have proper respect for their raw force and power.

Quick answer about the tornado sirens. I'm in Wisconsin, and our sirens are tested every Saturday at noon. A lot of places have modern sirens, but many are holdovers from the old civil defense systems put in place to warn citizens in the event of nuclear war. In lieu of sirens, all radio and public broadcasts are also interrupted to deliver severe storm and tornado warnings.

[@O111e]

[@glamourchick21]

Perfect time to be watching tornado videos. It's tornado season in the States. I live in northern Illinois. We get a lot of tornadoes here, but this area isn't prone to the really big killers that show up in the southern plains. Last summer, there was a day that saw about eleven confirmed tornadoes in the greater Chicagoland area, but none were rated higher than EF1. A good bit of property damage, but 0 fatalities and only minor injuries reported. So, at least in my experience, tornadoes aren't something to take lightly, but they're not a reason to panic, either. If I know bad weather is predicted, I stay aware, and if the warning comes, I get into a safe place until it passes. Edit: In my neck of the woods, tornado sirens are tested on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am. You could set your watch by it, really.

[@trajectoryunown]

As a Midwesterner, this title is so funny. A lot of us kick back in a chair on the porch to watch the spouts form. It's kind of like an old-fashioned drive-through movie screening. Some people even hop in their vehicle to be there when they touch down. Usually, all that happens is you lose a trash barrel or two. Just claim the nearest one the next day and continue about your business. Worst case scenario, you take cover in a basement, bathroom or closet on ground level absent a basement, until the storm passes. If you're actually out on the road, you just keep driving unless it comes near. Then you just pull off into a ditch and hop under the car. (When you live in a place with lots of tornadoes, this stuff is as mundane as a fire drill at school. You hope to not need it, but it's not as terrifying if it actually becomes something you need to do.) If you're city is anything like my hometown, surrounded by small creeks, rivers, and farmland with timberlines, then it's nearly immune to tornado damage. That's because all the changes in terrain makes them less stable and all the water, dirt, and other debris they pick up rapidly slows the spin causing them to dissipate before they travel very far.

[@TheMichaelLombardo]

I live in East Central Alabama right on the state of Georgia's border, and it's a hot spot for tornados. There is Tornado Alley (Kansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri and some of Arkansas), then there is Dixie Alley which is in the Tennessee Valley and most of the southeast (Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Georgia). Not as many tornados as Tornado Alley, but incredibly violent, and large outbreaks happen in Dixie Alley. Look at what happened to Tennessee, and Alabama only 2 weeks ago. Crazy violent tornados through those two states (one went over a mountain).

Really, unless it's a direct hit on you, the sirens, tv warnings, and push notifications on the cell phones are more scary than the tornado. They're SO LOUD (which is good, if you're sleeping and in the path). But otherwise, it's a constant noise that scares people and pets. Oh, and they test the local sirens at 5pm on the first Wednesday of the month. If you forget and hear the sirens, it can be jolting until you remember the day and that it's a test.

You need to see the CCTV footage from inside the school hit by a tornado, I think it was the Joplin Missouri one. It will blow your mind. Also, sometimes damage is done only due to the pressure drop. There is an old picture from the air of a barn that just exploded from the pressure change. The roof was gone and the walls were neatly laid out on the ground like they were building it and about to raise them. The interior was undamaged and the horses were alive and well standing in their stalls. Incredible. Also during the super outbreak that hit Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee, Some people sheltered in a gas station walk in cooler, there is a video of the whole thing and it will just about give you a heart attack.

You should watch the footage, or listen to, from the Joplin tornado where people are hiding at a petrol station. The most awful part of it was that the tornado was so large, it had a calm eye so they thought it was over but then the back side of the tornado hits, which tends to be more powerful. It is truly terrifying. It's a miracle that those guys were ok. Also, if you're keen to react to extreme natural disaster videos, nothing compares to the 2004 tsunami.

I once had a tornado that was very helpful ! One summer afternoon in 2013 I was going to sweep off a concrete driveway. The very moment I set down the broom to begin sweeping a little tornado came down out of the sky and touched down right in front of my broom ! It was the same width of my broom. It moved around me and began sweeping the driveway ! It went back and forth across the driveway as it moved down the driveway ! And it always stayed within the driveway without ever going beyond the edge of driveway ! IT WAS EVEN MAKING SWEEPING SOUNDS AS IT WAS SWEEPING ! The upon complety sweeping the driveway it lifted back up into the sky never to be seen again ! There was another person at the other end of the driveway and saw this happen and walked away scratching his head.

I've lived here in Missouri for the past 28 years and I always get that pit in my stomach right before step starts happening right before the winds start picking up I don't know I guess if you live where tornadoes hit a lot it's funny you start feeling it before it happens it's something in the sky something in the air that you just I don't know pick up it's odd

[@CruxusAshbourne]

Hurricanes aren't scary. I live in North Carolina, we break out the grill when it's Hurricane Season.

[@TheSkyGuy77]

A tornado is basically a demon spirit spinning around that can do little damage or utterly destroy everything.

[@Brainhorn]

Tornado sirens are, indeed, terrifying. Especially when you're there, in the storm, hoping a tornado doesn't actually touch down lol

I live in Indiana and just FYI u hear these sirens every Friday afternoon at 11am when they test them fun fun lol

Yo plz respond ik im really young but in 2013 I was born in march and then like a month later the tornados hit and my family and I went to my papas shelter and tons of people around us died and I was less then 30 days old when this happened so I just wanted u to read that plz do😊

[@FordGTmaniac]

It's been a bad year for tornadoes in the US and tornado season is just kicking off. The town of Greenfield in Iowa was hit by one recently, the Doppler on Wheels (DOW) recorded sustained winds of 250mph and possibly as high as 290mph, or about 400-465kph. We haven't seen wind speeds that fast since that 2.5 mile (4 kilometer!) wide monster tore through El Reno in 2013.

Hi from southern Oklahoma just waiting to see if we get Tornados tonight 😂

[@Lynn7015hb]

I lived most of my life in south Florida. Hurricanes are full of tornadoes.

[@Peggapoo]

I have found that just before a tornado the color outside is yellowish. You know the weather is different and you turn on your local news. Here in Temple, Texas there was a tornado just last night May 22/23. What a mess.

[@HikaHima]

I've experienced dozens of tornados personally as I've always lived in tornado ally. There was one day in particular that destroyed a few towns near where I lived at the time. On that day, my mom was racing back home to me as I was a kid and home alone. On her drive she said she saw 23 tornados drop down on the way. Meanwhile, at the home, one tornado was near by and even though we were not hit directly, the wind/debris took down powerlines and trees, ripped off siding of peoples houses and more. At the same time, at the location of my mom's work that she left - the town was mostly destroyed. It took weeks just to get the roads clear enough for emergency crews to get to locations and months for things to get back to relatively normal. One house in particular was flipped upside-down and dropped into a lake - the two people in that house drowned- can't remember how many people died during that one in total but it was a few. You could see the path all the way through the forest that it took. Additionally, I've already experienced 4 tornados personally so far this year. One in particular was at night - the really scary ones you can't see until it's too late. I had been trying to tie down some things outside, but the wind was so strong I could barely stand. Then the sirens came on and I had to abandon was I was trying to save to seek shelter with my dogs - buried myself under weighted blankets in a tiny inner room with my hard hat on just in case with my chihuahuas. Lost my gazebo and many lost their patio furniture, but no major damage otherwise other than a few ripped off or blown out windows and debris and water damage from the rain getting in homes. Just a mile a way however, a section of town where several of my coworkers lived was quite damaged. The power was out for up to two weeks for some people of my family (thankfully they had a generator)- I was down for a few days (unfortunately do not have a generator).

[@ChuckHuffmaster]

I live in central Oklahoma and I've seen my fair share of tornadoes of different shapes and sizes over the decades and the closest I've been was sheltering in a truck stop restroom with a half dozen other people as a EF-5 passed 3/4 a mile from us it blew out every window scattered all the shelves and product across the lot we all all walked away without a scratch

[@Dr_Kyutoko]

Of course that's not a tornado. It's obviously Cthulhu.

I live in Arkansas. Our city governments test the siren systems every Wednesday at noon local time, weather permitting. Sometimes, however, they'll shut it off unless there is a real threat. I haven't heard it go off for a while, given that the last few Wednesdays have been cloudy and rainy!

[@killerq7747]

In Missouri they test their sirens the first Tuesday of every month

You should check out Reed Timmer's drone video from yesterday of a tornado that hit an Iowa wind farm. It was one of the most photogenic tornadoes I've ever seen.

From Oklahoma here, sirens typically get tested every Wednesday around noon, except when it's already stormy(to avoid misunderstanding and panic)

I live in Northeast Oklahoma. There are in fact weekly tornado alarm tests. In our area, every Wednesday at noon, the sirens go off for 1 minute. This is to ensure the system works properly, and for the public to be aware of how close they are to the sirens so they know how loud it is in their area. My work is about 1/2 mile from a siren, while my home is about 1/8th of a mile away from one so it waaaaay louder near my home. The sirens help a ton but everytime they go off, I expect the paint to fall off the walls, metal to rust, everything get dark and foggy, and for little demonic beetles start to scurry out from the darkness. (Resident Evil movie reference) Either way, the sirens definitely change the mood of things and a little part of your mind starts to worry. Most of us in tornado alley are so used to it, that we will be standing outside looking for the tornado instead of seeking shelter.

[@Light_Assassian]

Adam, last year one went through my neighborhood. It was an f2 and the apartments up the street got their roofs torn off. They usually tell you 24 hours in advanced to look out. I had just gotten home had my window open chilling. The wind alone went from stand still to 50mph instantly. I hurried and shut the window and locked it and stood away. I had curtains open to see. 5 40ft tree's fell along the train tracks in a matter of 5 minutes. Dark and no rain or nothing, all you heard was wind and damage. The wind at its peak was probably right at 100mph being an f2, maybe lower.

[@katykwasny1951]

Man, that tornado siren still sends chills up my spine every time I hear it. I've been fortunate enough to never be directly hit by one, but I grew up in central Ohio and was woken up many times throughout my childhood by that sound. They do test the sirens (it was every Wednesday at noon where I'm from), and even the tests still spook me lol

[@atrmediaofficial]

Is my music good? BE HONEST!

[@sarahbuchholz8767]

I live in a small town in Minnesota. Our tornado sirens are more civil defense sirens. They go off every day real quick at noon and 6 to let farmers know its time to eat. They go off to call the volunteer fire brigade. They go off once a month on Wednesdays at 1pm for the monthly tornado drill. Of course they also go off for tornado and thunderstorm warnings. I honestly dont really notice a lot of the time anymore.

[@happyhippoeaters4261]

Tornadoes can be killed

[@Justahuman-k1t]

I live in Texas, and these happen way too often. I remember hearing the sirens every couple months at around three am, my mom taking me to the closet and making me wear a helmet so my skull wouldn’t get crushed. Some of My neighborhood was destroyed when i was nine, and i remember trees falling down on the street and crushing our roof.

[@olilithochee]

My town has the 810 port siren. Every first Wednesday of the month I jump when it starts and I have to check the date and the weather to be like "oh okay it's just the test thank God"

[@rhinoek]

Where I live we have tornado siren tests on the first Wednesday of every month. we also get a bunch of false alarms since my area usually sounds the sirens if any rotation is spotted during a storm but I've only seen like 2 or 3 touchdown.

They are AMAZING -- and with your like of watching tornado videos, hurricanes often spawn tornadoes so in some there is some information and footage of associated tornado damage. --- Most tornado watches are false alarms because a "tornado warning" means conditions exist that could possibly create tornadoes. So a watch does not mean a tornado exists. A "tornado warning" means a tornado or tornadoes have been verified to be on the ground, they are known for a fact to exist. There is a big difference between a "tornado watch" and a "tornado warning."

If it's been a hot humid stretch of weather... something needs to break thru that. If the wind is calm/not existent, sky changes color to greenish/gray, the birds are quiet.... get underground!!!
