Storm Stories: Lone Grove, OK Tornado

[@threecheeseburrito]

The most dangerous possible tornado would be a rainwrapped, EF5 tornado with 300+ mph winds, in a highly populated city at any time from 12am-2am.

[@callofdutyblackops9]

It's a good thing night tornadoes are incredibly rare. Moisture is up, and temps are down, making them difficult to produce.

[@nenblom]

For sure.

[@frank-bmtz]

This is exactly why the Greensburg, Kansas tornado was so scary. It happened at night.

[@ragestorms1942]

So you basically described 99 moore

[@miyolakerr4513]

The Dayton memorial day tornadoes were at night so scary

[@JackEverfree]

We had had so many false warnings, so many that people stopped taking it seriously. My dad was one of the first responders, they made him a deputy and he searched near all night long. We lost 6 directly in Lone Grove 4 in a trailer that was completely destroyed, 2 driving on the highway at the time. I am quite disappointed with how little is actually in this video. Other interesting things: A house was pulled off of a hill where it rolled for 20 yrds and the 80 year old lady that lived there survived because her mattress trapped her against the wall. The steeple of the biggest church in town was ripped of and thrown through a local bar. The tornado picked up before it got to the school and touched back down almost immediately afterwards. There is a tree that is still alive in town that has a 8 square foot piece of sheet metal nearly bisecting it. The police searched for about 30 min chasing what sounded like a woman screaming in the woods. I am certain that it was the local cougar that was wounded and later died. (no more tracks)

It's funny, I grew up watching these shows and always laughed when they say "it does sound like a train." An EF2 went right over my tornado shelter a couple years ago and..... it does sound just like a train. It's very distinctive and the immediate thought is 'holy shit that's a tornado.'

[@ZombieDog09]

Yeah, I've heard people describe it sounding like a jet and that's what it sounded like to me when one went by near where I was hunkered down. Less of the airplane whine, but a very loud rumble like a huge engine.

[@samuelraytheweirdcontentgu8551]

[@D-Loccsta817Tx]

It sounds like a jet and waterfall when it get close..But far away it sounds like a train

[@froey198033]

Yeah people say it sounds like a train. I've also heard people say it sounds like a jet. Either tornadoes are loud when they are close to you. The monster EF5 you can hear from a mile away and it's still loud but from that distance it sounds like a roar. I don't think I'll ever be in a tornado cause I live in Southeastern Massachusetts where thunderstorms usually die out before they hit my city. Sometimes we do get a real good thunderstorm, probably twice a year. Tornadoes in Massachusetts usually happen out in the Western part where the thunderstorms are really strong. There was a EF2 or EF3 that hit a few towns in Western Massachusetts in 2012 I think or 2011. The tornado did some significant damage to houses, businesses and a really old church. I would like to see a tornado but out in a huge open field where there isn't any homes or live stock. I would just like to experience it once in my lifetime.

We could see the tornado about a mile away and we knew all we could do is go into the bathroom( not underground) and pray. We were blessed because it barely did any damage in our yard but 2 houses down it was practically leveled.

As a person who survived a lot of these storms in their life, my family laughs when i take it seriously. We live around giant ass oak trees all around us, i almost lost my mom because lightning struck one and it nearly crushed her. Im terrified of severe storms, especially at night. Ive had nightmares when the tornadoes were at our back door and it was too late to move. I grew up watching the weather channel closely and storm stories, id go into panic mode when i hear the siren or a severe weather goes off on my phone. Id rather be safe than not. The 2012 outbreak nearly killed us, i dont remember what it was, between f2-f4.

@@cmerton Tornado pod type shelters (cylindrical steel, 4 person) can be trucked in and installed relatively cheaply on a concrete slab. When a large, potentially violent tornado is approaching, some TV meteorologists and chasers keep telling people to "get underground" when they should be saying get to shelter... they give people the idea that above the ground shelters are inadequate, so they don't end up buying any kind of shelter. Purpose-built above ground shelters have performed very well when hit by actual tornadoes, including violent ones.

[@jeremybr2020]

@@KermitTheGamer21 People have died on roller coasters. Yet people still ride them all the time. And when they get off the ride they aren't sitting there saying things like... "OMG, you know how close to death we just came? I was praying that we would make it back alive." No they don't because its extremely rare for accidents like that to happen. So that's my point. It's so rare that they would be hurt while in a shelter, so why do they come out all traumatized and thinking they were so close to death? Now granted, the roller coaster thing isn't a perfect analogy. I realize that there is death and destruction going on all around people who are in shelters while a tornado tears thru their area. But their worry is misplaced. They should be coming out of the shelter saying things like....."I was so worried about my neighbors and family that live near by. I prayed that they would all be OK."

[@ellasmommy9278]

People do die in basements. I haven't heard about anybody dying in a storm shelter. In the Alabama 1998 tornado, nine people in basements died. People get sucked out or you lose the ceiling of the basement and stuff falls on you (like a pickup truck). I remember reading about a woman and her children in the 1974 tornado outbreak who pushed a table against the basement wall and gathered her children around her. Most of her children survived but she and the one she was holding got crushed to death. So while it is not common (44% of people die in mobile homes) it happens often enough that I would be afraid. And I live in the mountains of Maryland.

[@jeremybr2020]

@@ellasmommy9278 "People do die in basements" I never claimed they didn't. Also, the 9 who died in basements, was this 9 different basements or was this just 1 or 2 basements with many people in them?

Here in Oklahoma when putting in cellars or basements you must trench a large deep area around it to make way for ground water to flow away & not into basements & cellars. It adds a tremendous cost in addition to original cost of the construction.

1.) If you SAW the tornado when you're already at a house picking up a dog, why would you spend more time going to your own house, when you can go into the house you are already at and take shelter?! Not even going to talk about the "we're all going to die" thing lol 2.) Trailer park woman, I hope that taught you to listen to your daughter when she tells you to take shelter!

[@colinvanblaricom6573]

Make a good first point, another is I think if I had four kids in the car I would worry more about them getting to shelter immediately with a tornado so close, not getting a neighbors dog, sorry to dog lovers! I thought the trailer park girl was actually very smart with making so much noise though

[@thepatriotsfan7127]

I've seen a lot of people becoming shocked when a tornado, let alone a deadly one occurs before or after season (March through August) Tornadoes can happen at any time of the year, no matter where you are or what day is it. The most deadliest tornado that happened recently happened in December and ravaged Kentucky

[@michaellovely6601]

The people of Washington, Illinois know this because of a tornado that tore through their city on November 17, 2013. I can understand why the residents of Washington were so caught off guard: you really don't expect a tornado to strike in late November. As a result the residents of Washington had gone from being excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas to a sense of heartbreak, misery, and helplessness. To add to their misery it snowed two days after the tornado. It seems to me that Mother Nature was determined to shit on the residents of Washington.

[@StormChaserMaci.]

The problem people are facing is these days is what I call the "Used to bad weather effect" People become so normalized to bad weather in tornado alley or in Dixie alley that they ignore warnings, then when one of these tornadoes hits its hell on Earth for people who refuse to listen to warnings. They end up trapped or corned in place, & severely hurt. If you receive any kind of Tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning take it seriously. I'm a SKYWARN storm chaser & am the reason these warnings get issued. When I give warning to the National Weather Service, they verify my CallSign, I send them proof of a tornado or severe indicators, then they immediately trigger the EAS (emergency alert system) warnings through your own phones, radios, & tv stations within 2 minutes. When people are hurt, it makes me think I failed to warn people. No matter how many times you deal with severe weather, listen to the warnings please!! If you have a tornado shelter, keep an air horn or jack with you in case that door won't open.
