Scary!!! Tornado warning in Fort Worth, Texas with Sirens

Filming a storm moving east into Fort Worth on 4-17-08. Sirens go off at 3:40. A tornado was spotted near the town of Aledo to the west earlier from this storm. Notice the green sky before the Sirens started to go off at 3:40. Sorry about the clicking sound, was using a horrible tripod.

3:40 in the morning? Scary stuff

[@kevinkarg4464]

Yep, for sure. That storm looked downright mean!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@dominiquepilon5764]

Yet beautiful nature phenomenon yet very destructive

[@bosskey7212]

the green color is the heart of a supercell mesocyclone, the updrafts is so strong in this area the rain gets sucked back into the atmosphere repeatedly and creates hail, the reflection of the ice, clouds, and sun make the color look green. This area is the dead center of the supercell and where the updraft is strongest, typically you wont have much wind at all in this area on the ground because the wind is literally going up, as opposed to down or side to side. The rear flank is where the rear flank downdraft is located and where the wind is usually strongest. Rotation occurs near the rear flank where the updraft and downdrafts meet and cause rotation, sometimes becoming so strong and tight that a tornado forms. My advice is if you ever see a sky that looks like this above or even near you take cover

[@blaketest2082]

that's cool

[@samamthaobrien9466]

Your smart

[@bassboostedmusic-ev4rw]

[@VT.j0s3]

Only supercell you gotta worry about is low topped for damaging winds due to normally extreme wind energy and not much rising as low topped supercells only reach about 20000 ft, we get alot of hslc events here in nc

[@MitchPR08]

99% of the time a tornado never forms, when they do, its a small chance it will come your way (if it even stays on the ground that long) I've lived in Texas most of my life and have never seen one with my own eyes...plus the sirens could go off, but the tornado will be on the other side of the city heading the opposite direction.

[@TheDemoniusX]

green sky means you're fucked. I remember the season this year. We went to the church to take cover, This shit is pretty intense.

[@Animxee]

***** actually we were driving home and got lost with my dog because they shut our road off and green clouds came and the car was going of the road, once we got home a tree was on a house

[@TheDemoniusX]

Scary to hear that Natalie. I am glad that you,dog and family are ok. Twisters are not to be taken lightly.It's important to seek shelter when the sirens go off and/or sky is green.

[@jakemyers6438]

[@strikeblazer1460]

What about orange? The sky in my area was once orange after the tornado and it was black as hell when it was happening.

[@rdfox76]

Green sky means take shelter because there's hail down-sun from you. That's all.

[@RavenEffect341]

Exactly. It's fun to watch these videos and hear different sirens, see different events, chase yourself, etc. However, it is a WHOLE different story when the storms come to you and there is nothing you can do. When those sirens sound, and you know it is heading your direction; your entire attitude changes VERY quickly.

My family and I watched as a funnel cloud started forming in the distance, clearly a tornado forming. We called the police and told them that they needed to issue a tornado warning, they told us and I quote "A warning cannot be issued unless a tornado is already on the ground" so muffed up!!

[@katelynzurilgen9197]

Thats weird then, tornado warnings have to be issued when a funnel is spotted. Because once it touches the ground it could be in a city already

[@ovenproof9905]

Where I live, they issue tornado warnings even if there aren't any funnels.

[@bw_digitalphotography]

+OvenProof Tuber i suppose it is just weekly or yearly tests

[@ovenproof9905]

[@ParasiteQueen1]

+Roca Bibaby Well they are wrong. A rotating mezzo-cyclone is enough to issue a Tornado Warning. When it's on the ground, it's a Tornado Emergency.

[@jdesign918]

The fact of the matter is you can either go hide in your bathroom for hours or you can go outside and see for yourself. MOST of the time tornados dont just sneak up on you so you can see them miles away before they are anywhere near you. I say most of the time cause sometimes they are rain wrapped and in this case I dont know if it was the camera but it seemed pretty dark and sketchy so hats off to you brother for hanging in there and giving us the great vid!!!

[@nathanheaverlo9626]

Why are the sirens going Hi-Lo? Usually that’s reserved for nuclear attack, nothing else. From what I’ve seen and heard, during a tornado warning, the sirens do the “alert” tone, usually one steady tone for 2 minutes. Maybe Ft. Worth was different back then?

You guys in North Texas mainly around the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex have tornado sirens, y'all are soo lucky where some parts of Texas don't have tornado sirens. In Houston there are no tornado sirens, even though it's rare doesn't mean it won't happen. 1 ef-2 tornado went through the suburb of Katy & another tornado an ef-4 went through the east side of town in Channelview. & I think another 1 went through Aldine, which is in the north side of Houston a long time ago.

I've been through that kind of storm in Columbia City, Indiana. I had to go to the library with my 13(Now 14) year old sister, and 7 year old cousin. We were in a Severe Thunderstorm Warning but I only knew that because of my aunt. Just being inside a library that's mostly glass was scary and like the sky was pitch black. The sky went from like grey to almost charcoal black. When I saw the supercell forming I nearly burst into tears. But with me being 11 at the time I knew if I broke down by my 7 yr old cousin he would freak out. The sky was green and I immediately thought about a tornado. We had no Tornado Watch or Warning. The only cool thing was the rain it sort of calmed me down.

Uh, no, you definitely don't. They may seem "cool" online or from somewhere safe, but when you know your house is right in the path of a tornado, and your heart is racing, and those sirens are going off, and your life is at stake, it's the most terrifying, scarring, most traumatic thing you can experience. Take it from someone who has been through it many times. Natural disasters like super cells or tornadoes are not meant to be enjoyed and played with. You could die. It's pretty serious.
