My mom was on her porch watching the 1985 Niles, Ohio tornado. They had no real warning signals, sirens, nothing. They didn't even know they were having a tornado, due to the low tornado activity in the area. She said it got so close to her house, she could have rode her bike down to it in less than 3 minutes. It tore through the nearby cemetery, and left a horrific path through the city.

[@mootpoint7053]

I was also a part of that scary day. It was May 31, 1985 around 4pm. I had just turned three only a few weeks before. Being held up to a window in our western PA home in Beaver County, there it was. A massive EF4 mile wide tornado tearing through a shopping mall once known as "Jamesway" on RT18. It continued on for at least another 40 miles. Destroying personal and commercial property. Even a drive-in theater known as "Spotlight 88". Sad and horrific day for many all over Ohio, Penn, NY and southern Ontario. I will never forget the day and I will always be watching the skies.

The deadliest tornado in recorded history is considered to be the one that struck Bangladesh on April 26, 1989. This is one of the countries where, along with the United States and Canada, tornadoes occur quite often. A tornado with a radius of about 1 mile traveled 49 miles and affected the Manikganj district, which is located in the center of the country in the Dhaka region. The cities of Daulatpur and Saturia were affected the hardest. The storm took the lives of 1,300 people and injured 12,000 people.

[@StormsQ]

I meant to mention that tornado but I got it confused with the F4 in Bangladesh that killed 700 in 1996. I thought it was what I now know to be the April 26 1989 Bangladesh tornado that killed 1300

And for Rolling Fork, I was watching a live-stream of a storm chaser. It was after the tornado rolled through, so the dudes were just helping people. I saw the most Mississippi thing ever- a completely untouched MOUNTAIN of empty soda and beer cans. It just proves that nothing can touch the Southern spirit.

Very nice video. My brother actually almost died in the Joplin tornado. His brother-in-law did. He lived in a second floor apartment and only survived by running downstairs and as he ran past the apartment directly below his (he'd never actually met the people) they flung open their door and dragged my brother and sister-in-law into their apartment and they dived behind a couch as the wall of their dining room was peeled off. Afterwards they poked their heads over the couch and saw daylight just across the room past the dining table. Weirdly enough the vase on the dining room table was still sitting perfectly in the center of the table and still had flowers untouched in it. My brother's upstairs apartment was completely gone afterwards. Had his downstairs neighbors not sheltered him and his wife they most certainly would have been killed. Many heartwarming examples of humanity were on full display in Joplin in the time after that day. It really restored our faith in humanity.❤

I was trained at Sheppard AFB Wichita Falls TX in spring 1985. I happened to mention to a local how nice their new mall "Sikes Senter" was. Yes, I was told, it was just rebuilt after the tornado flattened it in 1979. Huh. Being from SoCal I was NOT used to tornadoes. I was hyper aware of all tornado watches that spring! Fun Fact: one of my great-grandfathers was born in Iowa Park TX which is a suburb of Wichita Falls.

[@christian4688]

Greensburg EF5 was surprisingly the second deadliest tornado of 2007. Three months prior an EF3 tore through Paisley & DeLand Florida killing 13, it was part of the 2007 Groundhog Day outbreak which had a death count of 21. Good video nonetheless!

Very awesome video! I remember many of these throughout the years, but one that hit close to home for me was one that struck Grassy and Glen Allen, Missouri on 4/5, killing 5. I used to live in Glen Allen and it saddens me to see the quaint little village nearly decimated by the high end EF2. My mother in law experienced only inflow winds, yet it damaged her house and completely swept away her shop and garage. Once again, I fully enjoyed, thank you for this wonderful yet starkly morbid presentation of what happens when ol mama nature gets disturbed. God rest all those who have perished or lost livelihood in all twisters.

I was especially intrigued by your mention of the Palm Sunday 1965 outbreak and your showing the photo of the double vortex tornado that struck near Elkhart, Indiana on that day. I was 14 years old at the time. I was born, raised and still live in that part of Indiana and remember well what happened that day especially since some relatives of mine were directly in the path of one of the storms (There were actually two major tornadoes that struck near Elkhart that day resulting in about 50 total fatalities.).

It should bear mentioning that the Kansas turnpike tornado video did NOT spawn the myth that highway overpasses were safe to get under, but it did go a long way towards further spreading it. That myth was actually promoted through a number of tornado preparededness segments by local TV media throughout the 1980's and it supposedly originated with the Wichita Falls, TX storm of 1979.

[@StormsQ]

True, but as you said it was a major part of promoting the idea

Great & infomative video. Thanks for sharing. I'd like to make one often overlooked finding about the large death count of the Joplin tornado. It was found that most deaths were the result of people not having a safe place to take cover, not that they didn't take warning.

[@catsinwonderland7473]

You'd think that tornado-safety infrastructure laws would be passed and mandated in the tornado/Dixie alley, but I guess not :(

[@robertabraham7687]

@@catsinwonderland7473 There was an official investigation shortly after the tornado. Many had no basement or shelter. Typical stores. & business buildings can't be trusted to hold up to a strong tornado. Many apartment complexes & trailer courts in the country have no near by shelter to resort to in a hurry. Cities like Moore & Joplin have rebuild much more prepared for tornadoes. Other places should learn from their example. Much progress has been done to give people better warning but in the case of a big tornado what good does it do if people have no safe place to take shelter.

I myself was 1/2 mile away from the 1988 Raleigh NC tornado, have never seen lightning like that it was exactly like a strobelight you could see everything and it was 1 in the morning, it took a turn right before it came to my house, I mean RIGHT before it was unbelieveable.

I had no idea the Kalamazoo tornado, with 5 deaths, was the deadliest of the year in 1980. Born and never left the city. However, that tornado happened 3.5 years before I entered this world. 1 of those deaths was a motorcyclist in the downtown park. That man was a friend of my father.

[@theresemalmberg955]

I was working in nearby Mattawan the day of the Kalamazoo tornado. I too did not know it was the deadliest of 1980. The company I worked for, International Research and Development Corporation (IRDC) did not bother to tell its employees that there was a tornado. Due to company policy at the time only one person--the switchboard operator--had access to a radio, and the sole outside phone line (all other phones were internal only). There was also no PA system in a building that from the front entrance to the rear entrance stretches a quarter mile in length, and no windows. So none of us knew about the tornado until after we got off work and by then it was over. Management's response was, yeah, they knew about it because the switchboard operator told them, but since it was not headed for Mattawan there was no need to let anyone know. I know this sounds unbelievable but that was IRDC's attitude towards a lot of things. A few years later an employee would die from a virus he caught from an infected monkey. When IRDC finally went belly-up in the mid-1990's it was bought by local businessman Bill Parfet and you better believe changes were made then! The Kalamazoo tornado came within a few yards of my parents' house. We lived on the west side of Kalamazoo at the time on a hilly street. My dad was off working and my mother and brother were home. She was cooking dinner at the time totally unaware that a tornado was heading directly towards the house! At the last minute it turned. When Dad heard the news he rushed home. My mother was surprised that he was home early. He told her that he heard there was a tornado. She did not believe him, so he took her up the hill and she saw the path the tornado took through the neighborhood to the south and east of us. Interestingly enough it was garbage day in that neighborhood and all the houses on the south side of one street were destroyed but the garbage cans on the side of the road on the north side were untouched! Meanwhile I was on my way home and for some reason I didn't have the radio on, I was playing one of my favorite tapes so I had no clue until I got up to the corner of West Main and Drake and found it blocked off. Well, that intersection is known for accidents so I didn't think too much of that, but when I looked north on Drake I saw that was blocked off too but I still didn't think tornado; I thought maybe a fire or something at the nursing home or the high school. I had friends who lived in a nearby apartment complex so I went to see if they could tell me more about what was going on and also to call my parents. I knocked on the door and when they answered I could see the TV on in the background showing destroyed houses and I went "OMG, THAT'S MY NEIGHBORHOOD!" Well, as it turned out everyone was fine, but that is not the way you want to learn about such things. Two of the women killed in the tornado were in a choral group that I was in so that hit pretty hard. Five deaths is a lot but it could have been a lot worse as the tornado hit right downtown and there really wasn't a lot of warning. I don't understand this because this storm had been tracked all across Van Buren County where it had a history of producing at least one (perhaps the same) tornado. Nowadays KZbinrs like Ryan Hall and Evan Fryberger would be telling people in Oshtemo, Kalamazoo, and Portage to get to their safe spots, but that wasn't around in 1980. The only reason Kalamazoo got as much warning as it did was that there was a DJ at a radio station on a hill north of town who saw it coming and told authorities to blow the sirens NOW. Normally, when someone who is not a trained Skywarn spotter reports a tornado the policy is to have a trained spotter confirm this. But there was not enough time in this case. The DJ was so convincing that they did blow the sirens and thus saved even more lives. Anyway this is my story of the Kalamazoo tornado.

[@QueenRenne]

I’ll never forget the 1990 Plainfield Illinois tornado. It still affects me today… the smell, the aftermath, and people I knew personally that survived in the apartment complex that my mom took my brother and I to almost everyday after school.

I have always lived in Northwest Ohio, and was 6.5 years old when the 1974 Super Outbreak occured. I go to Xenia, Ohio often to do research on the tornado. While there were 148 confirmed tornadoes, it is believed now that there were many more tornadoes, either not seen, or were short lived, thus, not reported. During that outbreak, there were so many tornadoes in Indiana, that the NWS could not keep up, so they put the entire state under a blanket tornado warning. The first and only time that this was ever done, although during the Palm Sunday Outbreak (before my time), they did a blanket warning for the northern half of Indiana. Ted Fujita originally rated both the Xenia and Lubbock, Texas tornadoes as F6, but like you said, decided an F6 inconceivable. I became a storm spotter and chaser shortly after graduation in 1986, when I became a volunteer fireman. It was because of 1974. This was an excellent video. You did an excellent job. I am looking forward to other videos from you. Also, side note, the deadliest 2023, not only killed several people, but hit the county Humane Society. Iirc, on 2 dogs survived, sadly

i have a lot to say for the 2021 Mayfield tornado, but one thing is that it went through Bremen, KY later on and had the worst damage recorded by surveys. almost EF5 level. it also was close to hitting my gf in mayfield, and me in madisonville (78 miles away). the debris shot up so high and far that i found debris from the candle factory in mayfield in my yard that traveled 78.5 miles. i could say way more but ill stop for now haha

[@AquaSerpent9001]

I certainly enjoyed this video, but there was another tornado of 1981. On April 4th, 1981, in Wisconsin, a powerful F3 anti-cyclonic tornado would touch down, causing massive damage to the town of West Bend, Wisconsin. Surprisingly, there were only 3 deaths during this nightmare, but the 1981 West Bend tornado would be the strongest anti-cyclonic tornado ever. It earned up to an F4 rating. Also, one you may have missed was the May 31st 2013 El Reno tornado. During the early evening of Friday, May 31, 2013, an extremely large and powerful tornado occurred over rural areas of Central Oklahoma. This rain-wrapped, multiple-vortex tornado was the widest tornado ever recorded and was part of a larger weather system that produced dozens of tornadoes over the preceding days. There were 8-9 deaths. Anyways, I figured this would interest you a lot, since this really happened. Good night.

I really wish it was standard for trailer parks and camp grounds to have some sort of storm shelter. We had an ef3 last year about an hour north of us (which is further north than most tornadoes appear, you should look into it. Gaylord, Michigan 2022, completely weird) and it hit a trailer park and nearly demolished the entire thing completely. The only two fatalities were in the park, and the worst of the injuries were there, too. A man is still learning to walk after being paralyzed. They got rid of their siren over 15 years ago, too. EVERY city should have one. No matter how rare they are for that area. If Gaylord can get hit, anywhere can.

[@StormsQ]

I remember hearing about that tornado and I agree: All trailer parks or areas with a lot of mobile homes should definitely have a storm shelter or some form of sturdy shelter.

[@deathbloom27]

@@StormsQ great job on the video, btw. It definitely didn't feel like 30 minutes! It went by really fast.

[@michaeljohnson7493]

I remember discussions about mandating wired-in weather radios for new mobile homes after the 2005 Evansville tornado, the deadliest of that year. The radio would function much like a smoke detector, sounding an alarm when the NWS issued a tornado warning. Most (or maybe all) of the fatalities in the Evansville tornado occurred in a single mobile home park. Also, it struck at night.

[@deathbloom27]

@@michaeljohnson7493 oh wow! that's a compelling idea, I haven't heard of that. I wonder if any areas implemented it?

[@timhousley6845]

yeah it would be nice but it would take taxpayer dollars and in this political climate we live in they're not going to do that because there's hungry children or violence in our streets or an attack on some other right we have in country weather is the last thing on politicians minds and the people who vote for them and the sad is if you brought this up people would look at you like what

[@SouthCentral_IllinoisWX7435]

I feel like the Roanoke F4 on July 13,2004 deserved a honorable mention as it killed no one and only had minor injuries

[@StormsQ]

If I’m doing a video on deadly tornadoes why would I mention a tornado that didn’t kill anyone?

[@Cup1dsx]

The 2022 tornado i was less than 3 miles away from. The warnings were going crazy. I could hear it but not see it. I remember going into norwalk and seeing all of the damage. The city didnt look the same at all. It was so sad outside and everyone was in shock.

[@R4ndomt3xanguyEditz]

Not trying to be a nerd here but your forgot about The 1992 Channelview F4 that killed 26 and Injured 641

[@koolkatzalt]

for the 2019 alabama one, i was living in auburn at the time. thats very close to were it was. i dont remember it very well, but it was very tragic

[@goldhunter9641]

I’ve never heard too much documentation on the northern West Virginia tornado of 1944 and it happened in June of that year but it killed a tremendous amount of people and I think it was on the ground for 80 miles and rated a high end F4... there’s a lot of photos of it online that you can Google but it literally minced everything it hit and the area was extremely hilly terrain , which Most people believe they can’t happen in Hills and Mountain Areas but they most definitely can

[@jakemiles1427]

There have actually been three palm sunday outbreak. The first happened before the 1965 outbreak but I forgot what year it happened. I think it happened in the 1920s though.

[@lawrencegordon_luvr]

I was about 10-15 minutes away from the December 10th tornado. Pretty scary tbh I had family in Madisonville.

[@pinpointpinpoint6017]

It's inconceivable to think that one city would get hit twice in the same month and both tornadoes being F5 as what happened to Moore in 99

[@goodgamegaming]

can you do every state?

[@StormsQ]

Maybe

[@goodgamegaming]

@@StormsQ alright thanks

[@WXmarcus]

I actually live right in the track of the 1951 Waupaca tornado. In the area i am, there is a wide lot of old trees except for the area where the path was. There are trees in between the old ones that are obviously younger. Glad light is being shed on that tornado. As it remained pretty upscere for a long time.

[@StormsQ]

Thats pretty neat

[@drrh1663]

Little surprised the Dallas 1957 tornado not mentioned. It was estimated to have an EF2 to EF4 strength. 10 or 12 people lost their lives in its 20+ mile track. Most notable about it, it was the most photographed, filmed tornado in history at that point and meteorologists learned a lot from it.

[@StormsQ]

If it wasn’t the deadliest of the year I didn’t mention it. That’s it

[@BenPat88]

Great vid, excellent idea and brilliant execution. Well done!!

[@silentbehn180]

I remember that Worcester Massachusetts getting hit by an F4 in 1953 94 people died

[@thorenshammer]

It's ironic that the 2015 tornado was the Garland storm, The actual touchdown point was in northeast Mesquite, TX, about a mile from where I was living at the time. I was sheltering as best as I could (I lived in an apartment complex at the time), yet my daffy neighbor was out in the parking lot, trying to watch its descent (the funnel did pass over us, and we did sustain minor roof damage, as estimated wind speeds were already in excess of 100 mph). I had been watching the weather all day, because I knew something was going to happen somewhere in the Dallas metro area, as several tornados had already touched down to the south of the city. most of these super cells were moving to the N-NE into very unstable air. I didn't know just how bad it would be until it was over. Even famed storm chaser Jeff Petrosky and his wife were attacked by what they thought was a victim of this storm, which turned out to be a monovalent street person with evil intent. There are still many unbuilt areas to this day, but little by little, life is returning to normal. If you have a moment, watch the TXDot cam footage showing the cars being swiped off the highway, it's bone chilling what these storms can do, and a good reminder of why we need to get off the roads when the warnings go up. What a storm.

[@detoxnixon6052]

I stumbled on this video for some reason and enjoyed watching the presentation. I took note of the 1956 Tornado in Birmingham, Alabama. The Segregation Protests were at that time.

[@RunningAWOL411]

I do have to say, in my opinion, the biggest reason there were so many deaths in the Joplin tornado, while yes people didn't heed the warning even though they were warned almost 30 minutes ahead of time, those sirens were tested so consistently so it was just falling on deaf ears because people waited for a 2nd confirmation before taking action. I understand that tornado sirens need to be tested, but not that often. (This is not the only town that does this btw).

[@evelyndaley8183]

This is such a wonderful video and very educational. Great job.

[@rainbowvamps8988]

I'm from the Columbus, GA, area. My parents owned a restaurant in Columbus, so my mom and dad, and their employee, Kayleigh, were there closing up the restaurant while my brother and I were down stairs. We knew that there would be bad weather that day, but we didn't know the severity of it. We all got tornado warnings on our phones (keep in mind I was only 11 years old). There was a large tornado heading straight towards Columbus and towards parts of Harris County, GA. All this happened 4 days before my 12th birthday.

[@Koakoa45]

Mississippi had 9 of these being the state with the most deadliest tornadoes. I live in MS and we were always told we have massive grinders. Meaning on the ground for a long time and huge. I think July 2023 has had more tornaodes than May at this point.

[@RailsChicago]

The 1967 tornado mainly affected Oak Lawn, IL before moving across the south side of Chicago and dissipating over Lake Michigan somewhere off 79th Street. I believe almost all the deaths occurred in Oak Lawn. I grew up a couple miles north of the path but it happened nine years before I was born. There is a brief image of the Belvidere, IL disaster in your video which occurred the same day but happened about an hour NW of Chicago near Rockford. The 1990 Plainfield tornado also affected the SW Chicago suburbs and happened about 15 miles from my house. I will never forget that day.

[@fratzogmopars]

Many of those 33 deaths occurred at the intersection of 95th street and Southwest Highway in Oak Lawn, and 91st Street and Cicero where it hit the Oak Lawn roller rink and the trailer park next door. I think one or two people in Chicago were killed by it. We lived in Chicago, a half mile north of where the tornado passed through, when it went through Evergreen Cemetery. My brothers and I were outside playing when my mom came out and told us to get in the house, that a tornado was coming.

Just a minor note, 25:50 when you said the Havana, Cuba EF4 was the last E(F4) since 1940, it was actually 1999! There were two F4s back to back on May 8th and May 9th that year. The May 8th one struck near the city of Torriente and the one on May 9th struck near Cruces.

[@justsam.0.]
