To answer your question as to why they didn't leave it's because a tornado is unpredictable at best when it comes to where it will travel. At the end of the day the best you can hope for is an educated guess and even then the odds you'll guess correctly are fairly low, even for professionals. Case in point the El Reno tornado from 2013, not only was it the biggest tornado ever at 4.2 km in diameter it is thus far the only tornado to have taken the lives of professional storm chasers. Being out on the road with no protection other than the flimsy metal of a vehicle is one of the worst places to be. Specifically because most deaths from tornadoes are caused by flying debris. A piece of debris traveling at speeds an EF4 or EF5 tornado is capable of launching can, in some instances pierce concrete. That's why they say the interior most room of a house is the safest since most tornadoes are EF3 or lower. Being out on the road is close to a death sentence even if the tornado isn't close because the debris flying at high speeds can make any distance moot. I would definitely recommend that you watch some videos on the aforementioned El Reno tornado to get some perspective on the dangers faced.

[@CrazyRabbit719]

You should see the tornado that happened in Colorado in the mountains. It was in Denver. The odd thing about was it was going the opposite way of every other tornado. it was in high altitude in the mountains. Not a very light place for a tornado. It was also very, very very strong. It was an anomaly.

[@DravenGal]

Mr. Houser, Sir, thank you for the great reactions and informative video choices. I didn't see any musical reactions in your playlists, have you considered doing any? I can recommend an AMAZING acappella group called "Voiceplay." Their talent is epic, and best of all, they're copyright free! I don't know what kind of music you like best, but I can recommend my favorite song by them, "Valhalla Calling." My second favorite song by them is "Hoist The Colors" which I sleep to, and thus have listened to it tens of thousands of times. No joke. Last year, Jan-Nov, I listened to it over 43,500 Times. I'm not kidding, Spotify kept track. Maybe you can just check them on your own, see if you like them. They also do an amazing cover of "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica. There are currently four core members, Layne Stein-Beatboxer, Eli Jacobsen (pronounced "El-lee)-Tenor and rock god, Cesar De La Rose-another tenor, and king of sass, and Geoff Castellucci-bass, but not an ordinary bass. His range is mind blowing. He also has a solo channel. I think you'll like them! 💙

A supercell is a strong severe thunderstorm that is capable of producing tornados, large hail, and damaging wind gusts. Supercells have rotating updrafts which is what allows tornados to form.

[@MoreAdamCouser]

Damnnnnn

[@davidplummer2473]

Supercells have a horizontal rotation in them caused in part by wind shear (winds blowing in different directions at different altitudes). When a cold dry air mass comes barreling out of Canada or the Rockies and plows into a warm wet air mass trying to move north from the gulf, you get cold air aloft with the warm wet air under it. Violent thunderstorms form at this boundary. Within them you have a war between the warm air mass and the cold one when as the warm air wants to rise and the cold air mass laying on top of it wants to sink. When the warm air manages to poke a hole in the cold to rise to freedom and it's going through that mesocyclone, the horizontal rotation becomes vertical and much tighter and it's twister time.

[@MurdogYT]

@@MoreAdamCouser You are taught even from a very young age that in the event of a tornado, especially during the time of Jarrell, that you should shelter in place in an interior closet or bathroom and put as many walls between you and the outside. Again the most dangerous part of tornado is usually the debris rather than the tornado itself. It was very common that a tornado could rip apart a house and pulverize it into dust but an interior bathroom would be the only room left standing. It wasn't until 2 years later after the May 3rd Bridge Creek tornado that precautions in the event of a tornado emergency was relegated to either sheltering underground or evacuating the area. Evacuations have its own challenges. If a tornado is barreling towards a traffic jam, that just leads to more potential casualties. This actually happened during the 1999 Bridge Creek and 2013 Moore tornado, however luckily the tornado missed the traffic jams.

[@cascadecs]

@@MurdogYTThis was actually a huge part of the Joplin death toll. There was a high school graduation ceremony letting up right before it hit, so a lot of people were stuck in their cars in the path and couldn't find shelter. You mentioned the 2013 Moore tornado, iirc that one had a meteorologist who suggested to drive south if you were in Moore and caused a huge traffic jam from people evacuating last minute.

[@goldgamercommenting2990]

⁠@@MoreAdamCouser Some supercells sometimes have characteristics of other storms Hybrid cells are one of them. A hybrid cell has characteristics of squalls which are storms that goes on for miles and miles and miles while at the same time have characteristics of supercells But that’s just the beginning of this nightmare because there’s one supercell I want to talk about There was a supercell near and over greensburg with a nasty surprise call the greensburg EF5. It is a monster storm that should be reacted with respect. The video includes a 1.7 mile wide wedge that swallowed 95% of the town of greensburg

[@bevinboulder5039]

Another problem with driving away from a tornado, is they're frequently in very rural areas where you might run out of road after the tornado changes directions and ends up on top of you. I did have a business acquaintance who lived out in the country in Kansas SW of Kansas City. He had a full basement, but when saw the tornado heading right for his house he knew he had to get out. So he got in his car and drove away. It turned out that the funnel cloud had picked up the giant propane tank that provided fuel to heat the house in winter and dropped in in the basement where he would have been sheltering. Not a common situation though.

[@kalebbort9246]

Also if everyone does that, there will be traffic which could cause even more problems.

[@carolynhotchkiss4760]

Adam, one of the *worst* places to be in a tornado is in your car. Jarrell was an outlier, in hindsight perhaps people *could* have driven fast enough to get away from it because it moved so slowly, but normally they can go as fast or faster than a car can drive (see some of the storm chaser video footage where they are flooring it to get away). Also, they can change direction on a dime, you can think you're driving away from it (we were taught that if we had to, to drive away perpendicular to it), next minute it's roaring up on you. So no, getting into a car and trying to drive away very rarely is a wise idea. What breaks my heart and makes me vow to never live in that part of the country is that they have in general no underground shelters. I grew up in houses with basements, we always had somewhere to hide during tornado warnings. I can't conceive of living somewhere where you didn't even have an outdoor underground shelter (like in the Wizard of Oz) to get into!

[@RoniFromTN]

My daddy was part of one crew that went to assist that area's "clean-up" teams. That was the first time I'd ever seen him not want to talk about what he saw. Truly horrific.

[@TheKyfe]

Supercells sometimes contain things called Thunder Bumpers. You can tell if a cloud is a Thunder Bumper because it's super tall, reaching really high into the sky. One way to tell if a Supercell is going to produce a tornado, it will form a giant "wall" of clouds. Tornados can form in the corner.

[@matthewthedemonangle5902]

When it comes to a tornado, you never want to try and outrun it in a car. They are unpredictable, and most of them can travel faster than a car going highway speed. They are also able to pick up cars easily, which is why all advice is to take shelter and wait it out

[@aaronb4608]

I live in Florida been through more hurricanes than I can count, a tornado hit close to me a couple days ago got it on video before hiding in the bathroom since my phone told me to. We definitely don't have cellars in Florida

[@cweir4471]

The worse thing you can do is get in your car and try to run. You often don’t have enough time and tornadoes are unpredictable. You are much more likely to die in a car than to take shelter in your home.

[@pgbrown12084]

Trying to outrun a tornado is just as dangerous as trying to outrun any other natural disaster. Your car is the last place you want to be. One of the biggest issues with trying to outrun a tornado is traffic. If everyone suddenly tried to evade a tornado by driving, traffic would grid lock and people would become concentrated in specific area. Add in in the debris being lofted around, lightning, torrential rain, and general wind, it'd be far safer for everyone to remain indoors or under cover. Admittedly, it would be hilarious to see a Fiat try to outrun an F5.

[@ricksloan5588]

I've lived in Florida most my life. Been through many hurricanes and they don't scare me. They move too slow to not get away. Tornadoes tho scare the crap out of me. Even tho hurricanes spawn them.

[@mfinchina__117]

You never know if the tornado will change direction and your car will end up in its path. According to the US National Weather Service, tornadoes have been known to throw cars as far as a mile. My dad was in a car that was thrown by one when he lived in Nebraska. He was trying to get away from it, it changed directions and the next thing he knew his car was in the middle of a field. He was lucky not to be badly hurt.

[@christopherjunkins]

I'm lucky enough to have my favorite chair facing a southwest window. A tornado warning for me means "pay attention outside".

El Reno pretty much broke every tornado track rule in the book. The sudden change of course and how it widened so fast. The course was not predictable. Every chaser pretty much was caught off guard, not just Tim and Twistex. I agree. It goes to show how even the most experienced, safety conscious chaser could find themselves in an extremely dangerous situation.

A friend of my was in that storm shelter. He said there was no way to explain how loud this particular tornado was and he had been through a few. It’s so incredibly sad and scary.

[@emilyb5307]

10:59 One thing with tornadoes is sometimes they spawn unexpectedly - already *inside* a thunderstorm system- don't travel any predictable path, and have varied speeds and widths. Notice how that tiny rope tornado widened into a quarter-mile monstrosity in minutes? It also hurls metal, debris, dirt, and anything else while tearing up roads. Zero chance you wanna just "hope" you can both outrun it in a car and predict where it'll be directed next. This is why all the known advice is "take shelter". Anywhere without glass, as interior and underground as possible. Sometimes it means shelter from the winds. And sometimes, unfortunately, it means collapsing walls. But "under debris" is often judged to better than "picked up like a paper doll and absolutely shredded by a vicious vortex full of pain".

[@darrinlindsey]

It's fair that you feel so strongly about the families driving out of harm's way. In reality, it just doesn't happen that way. If a town does take a big hit from a tornado, the first thing the authorities will do, once it's over, is shut down all entrances to the town. The mindset that we have is that a tornado is only going to hit what's in front of it. Most tornadoes are only a sliver of a mile wide, so the chance of my house being hit, is very slim. I have had an EF3 travel 400 metres South of my house. It tore up a lot of sh!t, but my house wasn't affected. The natural thing for those families to do, was to just hunker down and hope they didn't take a direct hit.

[@emyyyxx]

it’s kinda just a freak accident. most people survive strong tornados in interior rooms of their house but this storm was so uniquely tragic in the stalling movement of the tornado. that kind of thing doesn’t happen very often, tornados are unpredictable and a lot of people don’t have experience on what to do in certain situations. you never know until it happens to you one day!

[@stephanieworkman5110]

In addition, even if the tornado goes in a straight line and you have enough to escape by car (which you should not try to do), having a whole town or city try to evacuate will cause traffic jams, and people will be hit by the tornado in their cars. You have a better chance surviving a tornado about anywhere other than your car.

[@chainsofscarlet9054]

You don't know how long it takes for a family to get organized, Get into the car and leave. 10 minutes, A lot of times is not enough. especially, for a tornado that spans an entire mile. Plus, even if you aren't being affected by the tornado winds you still have to contend with the debris being flung around. If you aren't fast enough and the tornado catches you while you are in a car, you are not surviving.

[@jrafel1707]

Exactly. Storm chasers who have all of the radar equipment, and are experienced in trying to stay safe distances from tornados have died because of the unpredictability in tornado paths and the inabilty to outrun or outmanuever that path change.

[@belledoc6249]

My cousins decided to outrun a tornado (Wichita Falls, TX, 1979). They were driving up to 100 mph to get away. Their neighborhood was decimated, but their home was spared. It was almost a week before we were able to reach our family members who were all OK.

These poor people all mostly did what they were "supposed" to do. Most of them were where they were supposed to be to be the most safe. It's drilled into most people that you DO NOT leave a well built home to try to outrun a tornado. Being in a vehicle during a tornado can literally be more dangerous than laying in a ditch outside - same with being inside of a mobile home. The guys who lived in a mobile home did what they were supposed to do - go to a well built house near you (or a ditch if no structure is near) but this tornado got them anyway and they might have been okay had they stayed home. Sometimes doing the safest and "correct" thing ends up just not being enough or ends up being the worst thing to do in hindsight. The descriptions of what happened to these people and animals is so horrifying. It's what made me start viewing tornadoes more as.. spontaneously appearing, mobile human blenders. Nature is just so f'ed up sometimes.

Laying in a ditch isn’t that bad really, depending on its depth and width it could be a solid option.

It's just one of those things that REALLY solidifies how dangerous being in a car or mobile home is during a tornado, lol, like - it's literally suggested it's safer to *be outside* in a ditch than it is to be in a car/mobile home.

[@johnatkinson1111]

The logic of not driving makes sense at a basic level, a tornado is trying to make things move; your house is not intended to move; so a tornado will have a harder time getting it to move. Meanwhile a car is intended to move and a tornado wants to make stuff move so it’s going to be real easy for the tornado to pickup the car and make it move. But even ignoring that logic this tornado was very different with its path going towards the southwest instead of the typical path towards the northeast so for families that have experienced tornados all their lives they may have seen the tornado and thought it formed past them and only went for shelter to avoid any potential debris or were watching the tornado and only realized it was coming their way after it would be too late to try and make a solo escape. Heck we can only make assumptions about what some of the people who died did but it’s entirely possible one of them was confident in their knowledge of a typical tornado and didn’t make it inside.

[@phoenixbda6164]

You say well built, but all of the debris I've seen in incidents in the USA, including the larger buildings, are made of wood; It's enough to make one think that quarries don't exist there. I know they do for civil infrastructure such as multi-lane roads and tunnel linings, but seriously? Can't spare some cinder blocks and concrete fore a house?

[@GavinTilling]

@@phoenixbda6164 Anyone can purchase concrete or cinder. It’s not just for the government or state. But building homes out of only concrete is not a very good idea. Concrete is very strong in compression, but is very weak in tension. You can pull a cinder block apart with your bare hands. Wood is very effective in tension and solid in compression. That’s why the frame of the house is wood but the foundation and slab is concrete. But in a tornado the wind plus suction power could just disintegrate the concrete, sure the same would happen to the wood but there’s no point if neither will hold up and one is significantly more expensive then the other. Sure rebar would help but that suction could just rip the house apart still. And when I say well built I’m not talking about material, which is still important I’d rather have a house made of oak and hickory than a house made of Balsawood. But the real mater of build quality is in the anchors to the foundation. If it’s anchored well only the most intense of storms will destroy the house. But if it’s not built well the house could literally be lifted off the foundation and thrown.

[@UncleBuckRodgers]

I witnessed this one in person, and the horrible aftermath. The reason most people don't have storm shelters is because in that area there is about 20" of top soil before you hit solid limestone bedrock, making blasting out a shelter incredibly expensive. Things have improved greatly since then in how storm shelters are installed, and cost. At the time, we hadn't seen a storm that strong, and a lot of the other tornadoes are wrapped in rain, making them hard to distinguish. If you get in a car and drive the wrong way, you may end up in the tornado, in a car, worst place to be. Remember, back then you only had the local news, or radio to warn you. Now days, people have instant access to weather, radar, apps that warn you, etc. and yes, a storm that size you can see coming, it does make sense to get in the car and drive away from it.

[@colleenmonfross4283]

An F5 tornado is a pretty rare event, most F1-3's are very survivable. It is likely they were not expecting an F5 and that's one reason why they didn't leave, but tornados are also erratic and unpredictable so you could also easily drive right into it while trying to escape, especially at night when you can't see where it is.

So many people are moving into that area and none of the newer homes have any shelters at all.

@@alphawolf7417 I thought there was at least one this year. But even if that is true, the next one could happen at any time.

[@dramaqueen872005]

The Igos were my aunt/uncle and cousins. They had all come home from being in town and made it in the house with moments to spare. Unfortunately there was no surviving the storm above ground. In this part of Texas there is limestone below the soil that makes it very expensive to dig, hence why most people around here don’t have basements or other below ground shelter. My uncle owned a business in town that sold parts for restoring classic cars. On their property they had lots of basically shells of old cars that they would salvage parts from. As far as we could tell none of those cars/pieces were ever found, at least not parts recognizable as being from a car. There were a couple of their cars that that had been restored that they drove that were recognizable in the aftermath. In spite of the devastation, there were a couple of kittens that survived, covered in mud up against the foundation of the house. We adopted one.

[@dramaqueen872005]

I’d also add that in 1989 there was a small tornado that came through the main part of town that mostly followed the highway. When the sirens started they decided to go home instead of staying in town, thinking it would follow roughly the same path as the previous tornado. It initially seemed to be traveling parallel to the highway but then turned and headed straight for the subdivision.

[@Clare0724]

8:50 the reason why we usually don’t go in the car and leave is because tornadoes are usually faster than a car, and not giving the fact of flying debri, BUT one of a family of the Jarrell Tornado did get in a car and left, and the family survived, plus living in the U.S, highways are the worse case scenario, many people try and crowd under overpasses (which you shouldn’t do) which causes traffic

[@dannybendtsen3033]

I agree but staying in a house is also death much better chance in a car

[@gothmamasylvia462]

One family did escape in their car, but that is unusual. This tornado was atypical, moving to the southwest instead of the northeast, so following normal procedures would have been a bad idea. You couldn't predict what this storm was going to do. Meteorologists were baffled by this storm as it was so atypical. The mother and daughter in the trailer sheltered by their father both survived, but the father was found the next day, dead. This tornado skinned cattle, skinned people caught in it, and some were ripped to pieces. The community has bounced back, though and now there are many storm shelters in place.

[@aura81295]

Thank you for info about the daughter of the mother that was found alive by the tree. I get that the video was about the storm itself, but it would have been nice if the narrator had included that detail considering he told the fate of the mother.

[@jareeohs]

If you notice the map when the first family is hit, the tornado is sitting on top of the road that would take them out of town. Also, because tornados are known to be unpredictable due to the chaotic winds circling, especially in a massive wedge tornado like this one, would toss the car like a toy. THE SCARY PART most tornados move at a steady fast pace. The family probably decided to Stand their ground because it would hit them but keep moving. This monster, pretty much stalled and eviscerated everything in its reach. The thought of being on the middle of a F5 tornado that’s moving at such a slow pace is terrifying. You’re basically going to be like those fluffy yellow chicks that get swallowed by that grinder. (If you know that old video, then you know…. Those old school peta awareness emails.

[@johnatkinson1111]

There’s also the fact that the tornado went in the opposite direction then it usually does, usually tornados go southwest to northeast but this one went northeast to southwest so for people who have lived with tornados their whole life they probably were going off their historical expectation that the tornado formed past them and they weren’t in major danger and only realized once it got closer at which point it would be too late to even try to make some off road escape through fields.

I was born and raised in Northern California, I will take an earthquake any day over a tornado. I was living just south of San Francisco (born and raised) October 17, 1989. I had two brother on the toll plaza of the Bay Bridge when it hit. It took the more than 8 hours to get home, they had to drive all the water around San Francisco Bay, all the bridges were shut down.

[@Nathan-sh1zg]

oh. another reason why cars are terrible to be in during a tornado is that tornadoes can travel at highway speeds and turn very erratically. that and they can just grow in size and suddenly overcome vehicles. now imagine a traffic jam because a news reporter told them to drive away. that already happened, another reason why driving during a tornado is so dangerous. people are sitting ducks waiting to get crushed like an empty soda can. ever look into the El Reno tornado? storm chasers that had decades of experience lost their lives because they were trying to actually get AWAY from that thing due to how it just kept growing in size and was moving very fast and erratic. and they were experts. now imagine a casual inexperienced family trying to get away from the tornado. yeah. driving away is not a good idea

The wind from tornados can be so strong that there has been footage of a playing card logged into a tree and a piece of wood going through a concrete curb. Also, running away from a tornado in a car is a bad idea. Tornados can change directions, move faster than your car, or spawn multi vortexes or satellite tornados that can hit you. In the end, it's better to stay in an interior room/under ground, or if you're caught outside in a tornado, run into a ditch and lay down. If you have a car and are caught in a tornado you pull over into a ditch and either a get out the car and lay in the ditch or put the car in park leave it on and cover your face. In the end, trying to outrun a tornado when their is shelter nearby will usually be fatal they can move at highway speeds or faster.

[@Overlycomplicatedswede]

This tornado is legit a once in a life time occurrence with how rare it is. Ef5 - indescribably rare South east travelling storms - this happens very very very rarely. so everything about this whole event was just absurd and honestly a nightmare come true.

[@bryanmirick5653]

I actually live in Central Texas and dated a guy from Jarrell when I was in college, which was a few years before this tornado. It was and still is a lovely small town with a large portion of the community embracing their Czech heritage. (It's one of the best places to find homemade kolaches!) Those people were sheltering in their houses because that is what you do in Texas when tornadoes come. If you can't get to an underground storm shelter, you go to the innermost area of the house with the most pipes in the wall (usually your bathroom), get in the bathtub and cover yourself with whatever you can find. They didn't have time to go anywhere else. I remember that day and tornadoes were popping up all along the I-35 corridor. While tornadoes are common in our area, F5s are rare and no one thought it would be so destructive. It was a complete tragedy, but Jarrell has rebuilt since then and is a thriving community today.

[@dracul115]

According to the NWS “What makes a supercell unique from all other thunderstorm types is that it contains a deep and persistent rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. If the environment is favorable, supercell thunderstorms can last for several hours.” If you live in the area long enough you can sometimes feel, smell, or taste bad weather coming. In Nebraska I’ve witnessed it going from not a cloud in the sky to a strong thunderstorm in 5 minutes.

After living through what is known as the day of the killer tornadoes in Kentucky where my family had to spend the night in our basement with at least 5 tornadoes on the ground at the same time within 10 miles 9f our home all night long. I would gladly do that again versus living through the Jarrell tornado. That tornado tore all of the asphalt on Interstate 35 off of the lanes for hundreds of yards.

[@lizzaangelis3308]

Most storms in Texas move from West to east…. Southwest to northeast or northwest to southeast…. Jarrell moved in a south southwest trajectory making it very unusual. A supercell is a type of thunderstorm that has a strong updraft and can appear like a giant anvil scooting across the sky. They didn’t know how strong this tornado was many tornadoes here are weak and very short lived and usually move quite quickly. But this one was ludicrously slow. 9mph. And driving can be challenging around supercell storms. First you have large hail. Second very heavy rain Third downed trees Fourth downed powerline Fifth you might not know what direction the tornado is actually traveling as they can have erratic and unpredictable paths. Sixth tornadoes can be rain wrapped and thus be unseen Seven you usually don’t have any idea on how exactly strong that tornado is. And since air is invisible it’s true size can be deceptive. Eight if everyone is on the road to escape at the same time at the beginning of normal rush hour you will end up with traffic jams. Nine your escape routes can be blocked by trains, or large debris including live power lines…. Ten (like you needed 10….) these storms tend to rain heavily and thus flash flooding is a thing….. May those 27 people rest in peace

You never try to outrun a tornado in a car, some tornadoes can reach up to 80mph in rare cases the current record is 96. Cars and become easily stuck, caught in traffic, and tossed. Your best option during a tornado is to go to your nearest shelter or basement. If neither are available you go into the most interior room in your house with no windows, and cover yourself with a mattress and blankets. The only time you try to run from a tornado is if your in a mobile home and you have no other options. Hiding in a hollow or deep creek bed is a far better option to driving.

[@Nathan-sh1zg]

again, as ppl have commented on previous reacts, cars are insanely bad to be in during a tornado and trying to get your entire family into one can take far too long. ever wanna know what one that's been hit looks like? crush a can. crumple it. and then put holes in it. yeahh they're not good to try to be in. especially since many tornadoes can travel at highway speeds. jarrell was an anomaly in that it kinda just stalled out at EF5 strength over the town. like imagine wind speeds of more than 200 mph just sitting over you for like 10 minutes. everything is ground down like it was sand-blasted due to the debris within the tornado

The sanctuary building of my church in Houston, Texas was totally destroyed in a wind storm in 2003. It was made of brick, but not particularly well-constructed. All four walls were turned into rubble, the oak pews were splintered and the organ pipes were twisted and thrown around.

Luckily, no one was there, and the school building right next door, with children inside, was largely undamaged.

A supercell is generally a severe thunderstorm that is rotating. They're responsible for I think [don't quote me on this] 90% of all tornadoes. EDIT: Oh also, the reason they say never get in a car and try to outrun a tornado is many things. Wet roads. Hail. High winds. And the fact that tornadoes are so unpredictable and can change track and even speed up. Some have been clocked at 100mph. Rare, but it happens. 60mph tornadoes aren't common, but they happen.

The level of destruction in this tornado is rare. It is much safer to be inside than outside or even in a car. Also, you don't know which roads are clear to drive or what direction the tornado is moving.

Sadly, this tornado not only came to visit but hung around for way too long.
