The 1984 soviet tornado outbreak was truly insane, you should read more in-depth into the damage reports of the Ivanovo-Lunyovo & Kostroma-Lyubim tornadoes. Not sure why it was downgraded to F4, but Torro still has it as a T10 F5 equivalent to 270-300 mph. The torro rating fits perfectly when you had both tornadoes do this: - a 350 ton crane lifted 3 meters into the air and twisted - another 353 ton crane toppled and insanely mangled - a 55 ton water tank thrown 200 meters - the asphalt of a highway scoured off - Complete obliteration of a reinforced concrete building (likely a commie block) - dropped 1kg hailstones

We've had, in the UK, two in the same general area this winter, then the strongest on record in the Channel Islands, then one in Staleybridge. Which was last in the news for a dam failure. Said tornado made the front pages of the papers and the BBC's lead story here as well, the Jersey tornado was IF2 and as of this comment I've yet to see the ESSL/IF rating on the Staleybridge one. EDIT: Also the 2005 Birmingham, UK tornado too. For the Worcester one, it was also the first ever severe thunderstorm warning in the state of Massachusetts, which holds several records. Also as of this comment, California seems to get quite a lot recently. I' shocked/amused how far the Staleybridge tornado and Jersey/Gurnsey storms made it around the world, news wise as well. Having been to the island of Jersey, you wouldn't think it'd make the news. Prior to this the island was in the news for 1992 F1 champion Nigel Mansell closing his museum, an before that an explosion that killed people

These last years were quite active for tornadoes here, in France. You mentioned the Bihucourt tornado, undoubtedly the most violent and fascinating of all, but other ones were interesting. Im' thinking of the Juvigné tornado that occured last september which seemed to be coming strait from Oklahoma, the Pontarion tornado (a high-end EF2 with a very narrow but powerful path), the Oléron/Port-des-Barques tornado which was a very impressive mesocyclonic waterspout that came on land, or the Longwy/Bascharage tornado (this one initiated in France but caused very severe damages and several injuries in Luxembourg). And I have also to mention the two frenchs (E)F5, in Montville in 1845 and in Palluel in 1967. Two extraordinary tornadoes.

[@Lodai974]

the Bihucourt tornado was strong, but not exceptional (a low EF3) but it is especially its 209km journey which is rare... As for tornadoes in France, they have not been more "active" in recent years, but more filmed, thanks to smartphones and European stormchasers....Not to mention Keraunos, the official organization for tornadoes in France.

I will never forget the 2015 F3 Bützow Tornado here in northeast Germany. This tornado made me realise that we, too, can get strong tornadoes. The local radiostation were talking about it for days. Through my own research, I even found out that only like 1 hour away an F5 Tornado touched down in Woldek, but that was in 1764. This one is apparently well documented. I definitely have to read these documents in the near future

[@jolanas.5426]

*Czech viewer's perspective and story:* Hi from a new subscriber here! I've only recently discovered your channel (it's a great one!), but I've always been fascinated by tornadoes. I had never considered them a real danger in my country (in the middle of Europe), tornadoes were "the big ones happen only in America" kind of a thing, but I always took interest in videos explaining how they form, the structure of storms, accompanying weather phenomena etc. I live and work in Prague, but my family lives in the region of South Moravia, Hodonin district. In the summer of 2021 we had some severe thunderstorms. On the 24th ofJune I was looking at an online rain forecast, planning my evening activities. The radar showed a huge incoming complex of strong storms spanning across our whole country. I told to myself "damn, this looks nasty", because they looked like real supercells and a thought "if I'd live in the US, I would be afraid that there could be a tornado" actually did cross my mind. That evening, I called my mum, to chat about how my family was doing. My mum told me that a huge storm was coming. That the air "felt weird", that she had never experienced anything like that before a storm. They have also seen some "strange clouds" and she described mammatus clouds to me. I could hear thunder rumbling over the phone. Then I heard my father come over to my mum and tell her with a grave voice that a strong tornado had just completely levelled a nearby village of Hrušky to the ground. My father is a retired firefighter, so he got the news immediately, probably when the tornado was still on the ground. As you've said in this video, it reached the strength of EF4. It destroyed 5 villages and killed 6 people, its path was 26 kilometres long and at some stages it reached a width of 500 metres. It stopped 15 km from the village where my family lives. If you'd climb the hill behind our house, you could actually see it. Some of my father's former coworkers lost their homes or were injured. Most of the people had no clue what was coming, because no one thought such a strong tornado could happen in our country. We don't have any tornado warning system, no tornado shelters. So you can find some crazy footage on youtube from people who shot "a strong storm" on their phones from their balconies, not knowing they are staring at an EF4 tornado coming right at them, not realizing that they should hide... There's a great 2-years-old video that doesn't have enough views, made by Jakub Třešňák named "Tornádo na Břeclavsku a Hodonínsku/South Moravia F4 Tornado 2021 (Synced)" that compiles basically all of those videos, chronologically as the tornado happened, with English subtitles. On the other hand, the most viewed video is called "Inside of an F4 tornado (full version)" on channel "mmhardky". It has 7,4 mil. views and you could rename that one "showcasing what not to do when there's a tornado close by"... I think you used part of that one in your video, but not the most insane part.... I can tell you all, expecting a storm here is nowadays totally different! Just 10 days before the one year anniversary of the Hodonin district EF4 tornado, we've got a small EF1 tornado in a village just 7 kms from one of those villages that were destroyed last year. Since then, my parents have actually felt the weird air once more before a strong storm and thought they'd seen a rotating wall cloud forming.... well, we hope South Moravia won't become another European tornado alley, but one can never know.

[@Brett733]

A few notes: that supposed tornado path in Russia at 9:23 is 100% in Asia. Also, pretty much all powerful tornadoes come from cumulonimbus clouds. Cumulus clouds clouds rarely spawn tornadoes and if they do they are generally super weak.

My grandfather was in Boston at the time of the Worcester tornado. He said he was on a street that ran right in that direction, and when you looked down towards Worcester, "it looked like night had fallen"

[@Chef_Alpo]

That's crazy, Worcester is about 20 minutes drive from me, hard to imagine that level of destruction or that sized tornado here. We had one that did a bit of damage I think about 12 years ago, not terribly much though at least by southern/midwestern standards. Since then had a couple little itty-bitty anorexic ones, my brother looked out his window and saw one strolling down the street before it blew out.

[@annabelwestwood6192]

In Australia, 1989, my grandpa was selling seed (since he’s a farmer) in Elsmore, NSW. While he was there, he was out having a break in his brother’s smoko shed when the EF3 tornado touched down. Keep in mind that it is so rare to have tornadoes on places like that! The tornado passed over the shed (it hadn’t quite reached 3 at this point) and tore the roof off. My pa ran down to his brother’s house to warn everyone, but was caught on the neighbour’s property. The neighbour’s son was working on the field and ran down to my pa to ask who he was (since he was technically trespassing). The tornado changed direction and my pa managed to drag the boy to a telephone pole to root themselves to the ground. It was shaking and literally being sucked up out of the ground, but my pa held onto the boy and never let go. ❤

Great video Swegle, tho there are some points i want to point out, because the lack of research lacked heavily in some areas. 6:56 “europe isn’t known to be tornado active” is actually a pretty contradictory believe a lot of people have. Looking at ESWD, the number of tornado reports in europe is way more than what most would assume. Even in 2021, the number of tornado reports for the year “2021” as far as i can see on the database is over 900. 7:11 If you look at the damage survey by ESSL & CHMI, only a few Damage Indicators in rural areas saw an IF4 rating, including some trees near Moravska nova ves. Most of the IF4 DI’s were exactly within the populated areas, most notably in Mikulcice where a decent amount of IF4 DIs were made. it was even stated that a building would have earned an IF5 rating if the connection between the roof & walls wasn’t found to be faulty, Nor was the IF4 tornado the first in czechia since the Prague tornado of 1119 was rated F4. Let’s also not use the EF scale for european tornadoes since the F, EF & IF have different DI ratings. EF scale DI’s are also not suitable for our buildings standards, as it’s based on american standards. 7:36 Using TA for international tornadoes is not reliable at this moment because it hasn’t been updated to show 2022 & 2023 tornadoes. TA is generally reliable, but shouldn’t be used for international tornadoes until they update it. Alone for 2022 & 2023, they’re missing over 1500 tornadoes from these periods in europe. That does not include the older tornadoes reported in that period. As an example, when TA updates europe, some areas are gonna be more filled with sig tors. In particularly scandinavia where an extreme amount of sig tornadoes through time was discovered & collected by ESWD in that time period, including 4 F4 tornadoes with the recent F4 being from 1928 8:50 To clear up confusing some may have, outbreaks is not the same as individual tornadoes. A number of tornadoes have caused more fatalities in europe than the ivanovo tornado. One famous example is the F4 tornado in spain back in the 1600s that claimed the lives of 600 people

[@Brenn-g8e]

Jesus uh.. Someone mind breaking this down, I'm NOT reading all that.

[@IraDiaboIi]

well you should recheck your first point because europe typically has 300-400 tornados. in 2021 they had around 350, and about 550 waterspouts, which are similar to tornados but almost always weaker than than weakest tornado.

[@NicimakiClips]

@@IraDiaboIi Waterspouts are tornadoes over water, hence why they count it. ICWR mentioned this as well. Fair weather waterspouts are landspouts over water, so intensity is almost identical. Same with a tornadic waterspout/mesocyclonic waterspout. In sweden in the 1960s a boat was tossed by a waterspout which claimed 3 lives. Small Boats itself can weight as much as a car. Obviously boats are more flat & small, and can function like a trailer in terms of DIs, but that’ll still take some strength. ferries here in denmark also have doppler radars from Furuno, which would help contribute to wind speed measurements by radar using gate to gate technique if hit or passed next to it which is a DI on the IF scale.

It COULD be that there are more tornadoes, but we won't know one way or the other for a few more decades with modern radar technology to compare the numbers to.

It's really like the fires genererated a supercell which generated a tornado. I think it's the only reported case of Pyro-tornadogenesis. Later there's been debate whether the Carr fire tornado was also caused by PyroCB clouds. These clouds can even produce black hail as ice mixes with ashes.

almost done with the video now, and i have to say, i love the quality of your content so much. weather/tornadoes are my special interests, and your videos give me so much new, fun information to expand my knowledge. i will also say, i don't appreciate the use of AI for the thumbnail. I think real photos are much cooler and more striking!

[@Xxx_Haliaetus_420_xxX]

I agree, I hope it doesn't become his go-to for creating thumbnails

[@mari.alonzo]

You know, I was thinking of commenting on your last video to look at UK tornadoes. We recently had another in Manchester a few days ago and there's the 2005 Birmingham one too.

[@rtgMTB]

And this this is why you live in Scotland, no tornados, no tsunamis, no volcanos, no bears, no wolves, no venomous or poisonous animals, plenty of parties, good food, and the worlds most beautiful landscape.

Not a tornado, but during the nascar race at Daytona in august of last year there was a sizable water spout behind the track, the cars were still going around at the time, really cool to witness

Looks like I had a tornado in my bedroom

[@LesaNotLisa]

This summer I was driving from Drumheller to Calgary. While I was driving me and my partner both received a tornado warning alert on our phones. Later once we reached Calgary we found out about the EF4 tornado that had hit a town (Airdrie) just a few km from us. Scary stuff. Thankfully I don't think anyone was killed.

[@thunderboltll]

I was thinking about Airdie! That was a photogenic one, even being as violent as it was!

[@lacko623]

When you were checking for Europe, hopefully a little F4 in Hungary also popped up from 1924. I wasn't able to find any photos, only written records. It's the biggest tornado in Hungary to date. Cool video, as usual!

[@MKPiatkowski]

Canada is the second-most active country for tornados, although most are in EF1 territory. I saw one in Woodbridge, ON while I was travelling through in 2009. Alberta's topography is the same as Tornado Alley so it's not surprising they've gotten the worst ones.

[@KanyeTheGayFish69]

Ya Alberta is just an extension of the Midwest. Tornadoes don’t stop at the border.

[@christinamann3640]

I lived in Vancouver at the time, but was visiting family in Calgary when the tornado hit Edmonton. It was so windy in Calgary there was corrugated metal dancing through the parking lot. I went back to Vancouver and started the school year with a story, saying how I was glad to be back in a nice, safe earthquake zone 😆

[@ryanfinch9281]

You should check out the recent tornado that hit Jersey in the Channel Islands in November. It was rated a T6, equivalent to an EF4, very rare for the UK! It was associated with extratropical storm Ciarran, and also contained large hail.

[@lukasrentz3238]

Usually T6 should be only considered (low end) F3, the ESWD only confirms T5. In different Scales the damage Descriptions are the metric which should be compared and not the assigned windspeeds to the ratings, since these are only there for better understanding but not the metric on which Tornadoes get rated. (Corrected mistake, originally i wrote T6 is high and F3, which was wrong)

[@jimroe8999]

T6 is more equivalent to low-end F3 since the TORRO scale and Fujita scale line up when it comes to windspeeds, eg T2 and T3= F1, or T6 and T7=F3

[@1ddemonn12]

i appreciate what you make, but i think the clickbaity thumbnail and chapter names are not great. it implies that there's been a recorded tornado in antarctica, and yet (as far as i know, i havent had a chance to view the entire video) you never mentioned antarctica at all. i really like the videos you make, and im sure the content of this one is fine, but dont tease something that doesnt exist. also please dont use ai for photos, it doesnt look good. i agree with what someone else said: real photos are infinitely more impressive because theyre *real.* please do better, i love your content but dont want to see it soured by this kind of thing

It's like the G-Man said: "The right conditions in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world."

[@davidchambers44]

Though the Edmonton tornado actually happened in 1987, the year 1985 saw two tornadoes rated f4 hit Canada, most notably the Barrie f4. That was the same outbreak that produced the Niles-Wheatland f5 in the US.

[@LeoAcosta-xr9pt]

[@doapin7438]

@@fuzi_ personally I’m assuming that AI thumbnails give off the impression that the content creator is putting less effort into making their thumbnails. And AI’s current reputation in social media doesn’t help either. But it could just be the repetitive style of AI-generated images that make people dislike them so much. It looks so saturated like those cringy type of kids-content channels.

pretty sure it was a rare EF3 that managed to spawn near the downtown area then turned into the massive waterspout you see there when it hit the water

[@victiri2952]

there is also a clear tornado path near the town of Roetgen germany, caused by an ef3 in 2019

[@KevinLogsdonMusic]

There was an EF4 that struck Delores, Uruguay in 2016. The compilation of videos from that tornado show some of this most impressive "inside a tornado" footage that exists. The shoe store security footage especially, as it shows inside the core of the EF4 without the camera being directly hit, so you can see the flood of debris rush into the street like a tsunami.

[@Sarahsadie2021]

Hey Swegle! Great video. I just wanted to say that the Edmonton tornado is actually a tornado that happened July 31, 1987 😊 and Eli is actually said like this Ee-lie. Merry Christmas and happy new year from 🇨🇦 Canada

[@InverseOfficial]

I have family living in Hungary and go visit them every few years. One time about three years ago, the forecast said it would be very windy in the area with high chances of rain or even hail. It wasn't anything remarkable until a large swirling cloud started to form directly above the house we were staying at, and producing incredibly strong winds blowing away nearly all the outdoor furniture. Fortunately the swirling cloud never managed to touch the ground or form a proper tornado / twister, but it was a very rare sight and an interesting experience. I even managed to record a video of the whole ordeal!

[@sertank735]

I was there too.

[@lilyanddaddy]

the Gold Coast (south of Brisbane, where I'm from) experienced a wild tornado on Christmas Day (at night, too!) this just-past December (happy new year!), am now curious to know what the rating will be, and hoping that those affected are doing okay...

[@36thgallardo]

There are several places in the US that have been hit multiple times by F3+ tornadoes in recent history. Taking a look at these places would be interesting.

[@LunaBianca1805]

We actually had one somewhat recent tornadoes neat my German home town (in Lippstadt/Paderborn and Höxter) last year in 2022 (they were registered as F2s, if I remember right), I'm just happy we don't get them as often, they generally don't seem as strong as yours in the US and that thry usually don't leave as much destruction in their wake (might be because the brick'n'mortar to wooden house ratio is leani g more towards the brick ones, too) 😅

[@WanderingRoe]

For weaker tornadoes that might be true. But put those brick houses in front of an EF5 and it’ll treat it like straw. 😅

[@lukasrentz3238]

​@@WanderingRoeYep, the Fujita-Torro-Scale used in Germany (though we slowly switch to "International Fujita Scale) describes F3 already as severe structural damage of massively built homes and collapse of a few ones.

[@idontlikeitproductions3509]

Whenever I heard news of tornadoes hitting in Australia, it’d nearly always seemed to occur near Ballarat. But it seems mid north and mid western Victoria is a bit of a tornado magnet. And the funny thing is that Australians reacting to these disasters is so different to those in the US because we understate everything. Like in US reports you’ll have people in tears, inconsolable, and rightly so. But then there was this news report of a tornado hitting I think Albury which destroyed a caravan park, and the one local they interviewed was like, “Not looking too good mate, nah.” As Carl Barron said, we understate everything.

There was actually a further north tornado than the one you mentioned, in far northern Norway

[@originaldcjensen]

I currently live at the top of Tornado Alley in Minnesota, USA. 42 years before I was born the town I grew up in (Fergus Falls) was hit by an F5 in 1919. Even by the time I grew up there in the 60’s, there were large areas where all houses were relatively newer.

[@Anatinea]

Hi! Albertan here. Tornados are actually NOT rare in Canada! In fact, we had 47 in 2023, mostly in Western Canada, including an F4...that only killed a bunch of cows. And those are just the ones that are reported. ^_^
