The Deadliest Tornadoes Of All Time | Mega Disaster

[@rogersimpson9725]

As a long distance delivery driver I have been through many blizzards in North Dakota. And then I experienced my first encounter with a tornado and I can tell you this,I will go through a blizzard any day but I am terrified of tornadoes!

[@NeckPharmacy]

I live in New York. I also will take on a blizzard before a tornado. I find tornados beautiful. But I will never be comfortable enough to want to experience one.

[@ncdduzstuff2267]

That is amazing that you risk your life so people can have there stuff!

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

Yes, blizzard over tornado anyday! Although hurricanes...tornados and hurricanes I am pretty equally afraid of. I still think a tornado terrifies me more though, especially since we've had more here the last few years and we aren't supposed to get any (bucks County Pa, close to Philly and NJ and surrounding me about 8 tornadoes have come the last few years. I don't blame it on clate change though. I 💯% blame it on weather control and I've done the research to find the inconsistency's from natural weather to controlled weather. There is this man that has radars and yet also measures the metals in the air..he has about 6 or so maps that the radar measures different things.. the regular ones and ones following "controlled clouds/"contrails" (chemtrails) as well as the metals in the air and besides those other ways that we control the weather, and the more humans do the worse it gets. Weather isn't even the same as when I was a baby to around 19-20ish. That's when I started looking up and seeing changes. I noticed it before I even new a thing about it. Until one day I finay remembered my dad teaching me about con and chem trails and telling me the difference. He was born in 1945 Germany and worked as an air traffic controller, and he hubg out and drank with a lot of Russians and Germans and other foreigners that worked for military's and they along with his higher ups told him about a huge building where they were keeoigf all the chemicals for chemtrails and other biohazard is materials they were using on the population (including there own, everywhere). I was very young web my dad told me about this. Around 6-8 is my best guess. We were flying a kite and there were fighter pilots in the sky doif there dancibg in the sky thing (sorry I have brain fog and I'm terrible at remembering names and terms) but after one went away, the other made some contrails. That's when he told me to look out for strange clouds and told me the difference. These ones go away, chemtrails don't and rain would come shortly after then and for 3 days during and after the rain is web those metals are coming down. Nobody is safe from them except the wealthy or if you are lucky enough to live in an rich area, but een so they are effecting the earth and everything on it. They also effect something called black goo, that is connected to morgellons. I wish my dad was alive so I could have more conversations with him about it all. I did eventually look up what that building was and it does exist and it was near the airport my dad worked at. Even though it was IN Germany, it was mostly owned by the united states and I believe the united nations/NATO were involved. I wish I could share more info, but you all probably believe I'm crazy as is 😂 I don't talk about these things often because when I used to say things I knew were coming aroud 6yrs ago, I started being targeted and harrassed. It was really scary and I have kids, so I only talk randomly a few times a year in comment sections like this. I guess just to get it off my chest. I miss my dad and he would hate to see what's been happening in the world.

Great scene from a classic movie. 🌪️🌪️

[@georgehollingsworth2428]

I have lived in Tornado prone states all of my life and have had at least two pass directly over my head, and several more close enough to have my ears pop. In most cases the tornadoes were leap frogging their way to where they were going. The amount of power a tornado has is difficult for someone who has not experienced it to appreciate. The first was when I was a child, and I remember hearing huge trees in my yard breaking like matchsticks as it jumped our house. We had twenty tall trees broken in half, all slightly above rooftop level , in about 2 seconds and then the tornado moved on. The second time was even quicker and sounded like a train or truck drove over us. It jumped my place and totally destroyed the adjacent apartment, which literally looked like a washing machine after the spin cycle was used. In most cases you hear the tornado getting close. You feel it in your ears and the barometer. Windows pop and break. However, once it is upon you, it happens so fast that you really have no time to react once it is on you. You are TOTALLY helpless, so the best thing you can do is just wait for it to pass, which is incredibly quick in most instances.

[@reneesteffen6494]

I live in tornado ally also I had more then 10 tornados I think but let then 20 so in the middle but we are moving out of tornado ally...

[@ArcherJadephoenix]

I think the only issue I have with those tornado simulators (and honestly other similarly geared disaster simulators) is that they don't take into account the difference between just wind (or water, etc) hitting an object. The second a tornado touches down, it's now blowing dirt, rocks, twigs, branches, etc. When those tiny projectiles hit a surface, it can and will cause more damage than just the wind it hitting it. When a simulator takes dirt, rocks, and other debris into account, I feel they'll be far more accurate and realistic in simulating damage.

[@coope42]

That's a big issue with programming and part of the reason it takes so much just to render these simulations. Each material has it's own hardness, elasticity, durability, mounting, abrasion resistance. All of that has to be taken into account for both objects the hitter and the object being hit, including sharpness as well as things like glass which are hard, but incredibly weak to any form of puncturing. Then do that not just for millions of particles, not even billion, but trillions and trillions. How do you code that, and make it actually process fast enough to be useful information?

[@ArcherJadephoenix]

@adam cooper true. I just feel that even a half hearted attempt to include some form of projectiles at all would be better than none. As Ron White said: its not -that- the wind is blowin'. It's -what- the wind is blowin'.

[@TitaniumTurbine]

⁠@@ArcherJadephoenix I’ll add onto this discussion, 3D tools such as Blender are becoming more and more capable over time. Blender for example, can currently handle a pretty incredible amount of 3D objects with physics (over a million at least, but with some constraints)… and for as long as computer hardware continues to improve so will the functional realism of such physics based simulation. The next great game changer for 3D apps like Blender would be integrating AI-based object generation/creation tools so thatit can create the millions, billions, and trillions of unique objects it would take to accurately simulate a home with thousands of shingles, wood splinters, belongings, furniture, etc.

[@deadshot4245]

that and as the wind gets inside and rips larger debris the destructive power escalates provided it can keep it in the circulation which so far does not seem to be an issue

[@michellecarver7279]

Don't actually know which city they actually considered it in but a tornado hit around Lancaster, TX in 2012. It literally picked up tractor trailers out of the Schnieder Yard and tossed those trucks & trailers in the air like they were cardboard. Scary stuff.

[@dooglitas]

I live in Oklahoma. I remember the Moore, OK, tornado. It was horrifying. I had family that lived through it. Back in the 1990s there was an F4 tornado that passed about 5 miles to the south of my home. It literally scoured homes off their concrete slabs. There was absolutely nothing left but the slab, not even debris. I remember that a school bus was found 6 miles from where it had been and was crushed into a ball. About 3 years ago a small, probably F0 tornado actually hit my home. Thankfully it did not damage the home, but it did break some limbs off some trees. Tornadoes are not my cup of tea.

Downtown was closed for quite a bit as pieces of windows were falling on the streets and sidewalks. You would stand there and a piece of glass would hit your head. Part of the roof was pulled off during the final 4 basketball games.

I stay at the Westin frequently and was horrified when that tornado hit. Thankfully it was not while I was staying there, but I was scared for the staff and the people who were there. That said, the westin provides glorious views of storms rolling in. I just hope none of them contain another tornado.

[@nerblebun]

Tornado Alley has expanded well into Arkansas. When I moved from Calif. to Arkansas 16 years ago, I wouldn't even look at a house to buy unless it had a tornado shelter. In 2011 my rural town of 9,878 residence was hit by 2 tornadoes on the same night. We could clearly hear the F-3 funnel travel directly over the house (It DOES sound like a Freight Train), then touch down on the next street over (Complete Devastation) while my son, granddaughter, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and myself were safely underground in our steel re-enforced concrete bunker 5 ft. from the backdoor.

Any mention of the deadliest tornadoes would be incomplete without mentioning the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado in Bangladesh, which occurred on April 26, 1989. While most tornadoes occur in the USA, Bangladesh has a few tornadoes, but a greater percentage of Bangladeshi tornadoes become fatal (I believe) when compared with the USA. The Daulatpur-Saturia tornado claimed at least 1,300 lives, making it the deadliest tornado in recorded history. Bangladeshi tornadoes, as well as a few tornadoes in adjacent regions of India, are definitely over-represented on the list of the deadliest tornadoes. Keep in mind that the quality of the average building in Bangladesh is nowhere near US standards, nor do there seem to be tornado warning systems in place. Note that Bangladesh also lays claim to the deadliest tropical cyclone, the Bhola cyclone of 1970 (although it also affected and killed people in India), which killed between 300,000 and 500,000 people. When excluding pandemics (as they persist for long periods of time), only two natural disasters of the 21st century can claim such massive death tolls, both of which were the result of earthquakes (or an earthquake-triggered tsunami); the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, as well as the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

I was on the 400 block of North Main Street working as a courier on March 28, of 2000 when an F0-F2 tornado walked straight into downtown Ft Worth, Tx. It was surreal. I've always been fascinated by tornados and had always wanted to see one, but not so close up. I was peeking around the corner of the building where I was to view it; peeking around to see it but not be seen BY it more accurately. It had just hit head on an office building, and a gentleman near me stated, "Wow! Look at all the shingles it picked up!" I informed him that it was just leaving the Cash America building and was taking its 8 x 8 thick glass windows with it. I can't imagine the devastation as a result of being struck with a hunk of glass weighing a few hundred pounds. But there they were, just floating around, circling the vortex like horses on a carousel. A coworker of mine happened to be smack dab in the middle of downtown, not four blocks away like I was. He ducked into a parking garage lobby just in time to turn around and see the tip of the twister that was actually making contact with the street. He said it was about maybe 2 feet across, essentially a point, but whizzing around like a top, and moreover, effortlessly tossing cars and trucks that were parked on the street around like a bipolar child taking his anger out on his Tonkas. I guess I can scratch seeing one of these bad boys live off my bucket list

[@icewaterslim7260]

I've seen F5 damage in 1970 Lubbock a week following going through on a Greyhound that stopped at it's still-standing bus station in the hard hit downtown. Tallest steel building was close by and looked to me to be just a bit twisted. Dozers weren't even done yet and car and building wreckage everywhere. But when I saw the news coverage the very morning after Moore OK '99 all I saw from that copter footage were concrete slabs and that's about all. It's like the thing just swept it up and put it somewhere else because there was nothing but concrete slabs to see in the footage . . . That impressed me as something I'd never seen nor imagined I'd ever be seeing from any tornado..

[@mortenhansen3455]

Scary!

[@dakotahostermeyer505]

I got everyone into the basement just in time, when i realized everyones pets were still inside, ours too. I shoved the smallest ones in a singke kennel (sorry buddies) and carried my dog in the other arm. As i got out the door the tornado hit my neighborhood the entire sky was green and a straight up sheet of rain was comin down and i looked up the street, literally one block away, rip a huge tree out the ground and lay it in the street, almost hitting the house across the street. I never ran so fast in my life. It was strange though, i felt no wind.

[@trevorthwing3506]

I lived in Wisconsin for 15 years and I lived in Madison, Wisconsin and we get 28 tornados per year, I rember a ef1 to an ef2 very close to my house like 3 to 4 years ago, you forgot the Mayfield tornado that was an ef4 to an ef5

I hate buttermilk, but like Pringles. What flavor Pringles? My favorite are the jalapeno. There was for a very short time corn on the cob flavored Pringles. I got 4 cans. Can't find hem any more. (Jan Griffiths).

I was in a tornado. Walking to store and oak trees were pulled up and disappeared. Freaked me out.

[@SteveWard151]

I really like this man. Alabama is lucky to have him

[@LupeCoded]

At 4:30, I really dislike how lazily a lot of tornado documentaries explain how they form. Yes, windshear is essential. However they didn't explain how the incredibly strong updraft suck in those spinning Columns of bear and tightened them and how the powerful downdraft behind the supercell stands the spinning column of air upright. At that point, the surrounding human and moist air feeds the tornado / upper cycle until conditions are no longer favorable. This is why the air masses must be extremely unstable for supercell thunderstorms to occur combined with the wind moving in different directions at different levels. This is why tornadoes are relatively rare.

[@tammyjohnson5174]

I was living in Shawnee Oklahoma when twin tornadoes came through.

[@sandrakimball518]

Those twin tornadoes must have been a fascinating sight to see. 🌪🌪👀

[@Sealight007]

This is why California real estate is so expensive--Midwestern sweltering summer heat and the bitter winter cold. That said, I grew up in Kansas from 1958-1965 and loved the violent weather, the summer fireflies, the chiggers, the crawdad fishing, and the snow and ice on the road that made great winter sledding. The Blue Coast will never understand the Red Heartland.

The USA 🇺🇸 has the most tornadoes by a long shot then 2nd place is Canada 🇨🇦, than the UK 🇬🇧, tornadoes can happen everywhere but they are most common in North America.

[@taralynntorrescarreralopez1574]

Why is that?

[@Daltinian95]

Did anyone notice that a lot of the tornado sound effects for the CG tornadoes are the ones from the movie twister?

Yep I actually watched that film when it came out in the cinema, great film I’ve been interested in tornados since.

[@timhebert2299]

Can’t really use that to determine if it’ll be safe or not 100%. I mean it’ll help but debris is also traveling at a much higher rate of speed. You have to figure a 2x4 can go right thru concrete. Unless your walls have 2-3 inch plating inside the walls rebar may not stop that all the time

So you want everyone living in the states in tornado alley to move? Where exactly would you like those millions of people to move to?

[@Kay-zv1ec]

When was this filmed with eye witnesses?

[@gregory5347]

There are 2 alleys now,the 2nd one is Dixie Alley,I live in Lee County Alabama in 2018 an F5 hit and killed 23 people in a small rural community if it had been 7 miles north more people would have die because this type of weather isn't normal for this area and no one knows what to do but hide in their homes which won't stand a chance against an F5 tornado,people need to educate themselves on this type of weather because with climate change we are going to see more F5,people need to invest in a fallout shelter or have a plan of escape

[@model-man7802]

I really believe that Alabama should be added to Tornado 🌪 Alley

[@sandrakimball518]

In addition to Tornado Alley, there is also Dixie Alley. The area for dangerous weather systems, that produce tornadoes, has grown and expanded eastward. It includes the southern states. Alabama, of course, is one of them. This expanded area is known as Dixie Alley. 🌪

[@edmartin875]

I suspect you have never lived in Tornado Alley. Most residents are cloud watchers and always have a radio tuned to their local area for weather bulletins. I have seen many tornados but the closest one to us was a small one that passed about a quarter mile from our home and did no damage to us. It did destroy the screen of our town's only outdoor movie theater and hopped over the warehouse where my brother worked. This was in the early 70's and a couple hundred miles outside the area depicted as Tornado Alley.

[@IdahoRanchGirl]

How old r u now?

[@dcrggreensheep]

Didn't happen to a major city but it did happen to Joplin

[@tjmeyer3037]

The wind speed numbers would mean a lot more if I didn't have to convert them to standard speeds every 2 or 3 sentences. So a 7.6 mph tornado did what?!! Holy cowshit Batman!!

[@michellecarver7279]

No talk of El Reno, OK, Joplin, MO, or Tuscsloosa, AL...?

[@themanifestorsmind]

They hadn't happened yet at the time of this documentary. A big hint to how old this is is they're talking about the F scale, which hasn't been used in almost 20 years. We use the EF scale now.
