[@KyleInOklahoma]

*_I'm in northern Oklahoma & I know in an area with the wood's around you, these things can sneak up on ye. For my bunker, I used 3 small bunkers custom made for me with 2-meter concrete sewer pipes that are sealed remarkably well connecting each bunker. We have a nice pasture about 3-acres in size surrounded by 360-acres of woods so might not see the direction of a storm until it's on top of us. We built our home, barn, stables that are built in a way that the horses walk down into them like an underground car park. So when bad weather is coming they go down there without needing to be led most times. The roof of the stables is reinforced concrete which also serves as the ground under our barn. A cattle grid-type entrance keeps the rain out of the stables & re-directs it out into an old creek. We buried our "bunker" which crisscrosses the pasture & goes about 15 feet inside what was & is again the woods. We have 3 main entrances/exits which are hatches that open up to a steep-ish stairway into the bunker. One in our basement, one in our stables plus one that comes up into our cabin [also with the hatch type stairway - like your attic but going downstairs} just inside the treeline of the woods. The temp/Humidity gauge has not moved in 10 years so we have the inside sealed well with different temperatures in each room. We got a small cooking area, a bedroom, a room for expensive firearms {automatic & other weapons plus ammo surplus} a cold room for fresh food too. People are using these pipes as off-grid tiny homes which are great & they cost so little, especially. We have about 2 weeks of power stored in our batteries which are solar-powered & separate from the batteries for the house so when the power cuts happened recently, our batteries kicked in after 30 seconds & are powerful enough to use everything as normal. This setup means if we have a high likelihood of a storm, we can just go to bed down there & we have TV, internet, all we need to keep the kids from growing up in fear of bad weather. God Bless bro._*

[@the13inquisitor59]

That's honestly an impressive level of preparation.

[@cuddlepaws4423]

What an absolutely brilliant well thought out set up. Our power went out in our house in the UK watching the workmen working on the transformer while we sat with our head torches on 50 yards away. We heard our next door neighbour come out moaning his arse off at the workmen who were trying to "restore" the power, idiot... obviously couldn't watch his crap on TV. We just picked up a paperback book and read them with our head torches. 🙂🙂

[@MegCazalet]

That sounds amazing, I would absolutely love to have that much safety prep in my city home. Just a reinforced storm cellar and some solar panels with lots of long storage would be wonderful. After Harvey in ‘17, and the Freeze of ‘21, my in-laws bought us a gas-powered full-house generator, which eased my fears a little. But after Harvey, spending the night in our walk-in closet with my husband and two dogs, then walking five blocks through chest high water to my parents house through floodwaters, with our dogs in our arms and my medication and important documents in backpacks, I still feel trauma and fear. It’s not the death, it’s the destruction that scares me the most. The aftermath is awful. That’s why I want to leave next time a hurricane comes near, but my husband will refuse to from now on, with the generator. I’ve been afraid of tornadoes since I saw some news footage at the age of around 4. As a child I’d go into a blind panic when those three beeps and red scrawl would come over the tv; I went to a lot of therapy, and was even taken to meet with multiple local meteorologists who tried to calm my fears by arming me with knowledge. I don’t have panic attacks over bad weather anymore, but I do get very concerned and get out the supplies that have soothed me (even now with the generator) and take the dogs into my central walk-in-closet with a weather radio, lantern, blankets and pillows, and my iPad. When my husband actually joins me, I know I’m not being over cautious, but I don’t mind if I overdo it other times, because it’s what I need to do to feel some sense of control over something I really otherwise cannot control.

[@lindataylor2131]

I've been in two tornadoes in my lifetime. One in Ohio, a little F1, in 1960's, and one in Indiana, an F3 that went west of Lafayette Indiana in 73. Back then we lived in a trailer, so we knew that we couldn't stay in there during a tornado. So here I was, home by myself right after school, and the local tornado sirens went off. So the only place I had to go was across a four strand barbed wire fence into the Purdue agro farm next door. a deep concrete culvert was over there, and I went there. With two wet miserable cats and a yappy little toy miniature Pomeranian. I tied them to the bottom of the metal ladder, and climbed up to watch that danged tornado go past us on the south side of the road to the south of us. It hit Monticello, a little town to our west, took out the court house, and killed 17 people that day. My family was originally from Missouri. About 65 miles North/North West of Joplin. We know not to mess with tornados. You couldn't pay me to be a chaser. I hear of a tornado going on I am getting as far underground as I can. Now I live in Florida. We get another kind of big weather event down here. I've been in 6 hurricanes already. Irma was the worst. Took our house roof. Imagine a F3 tornado that goes on for hours and hours. LOL. That's a Cat 3 or better hurricane.

[@VampireBat-q1t]

Lol, I'm the opposite. I've seen three tornadoes, one funnel cloud, and two mesocyclones without tornadoes. That's why I'd love to be a storm chaser. Not for the thrill but to get scientific measurements that could save lives. Did I mention I don't even live in the US?

Really a large part of that high casualty count is because of what you stated: it's not part of Tornado Alley. People there may not be as aware or prepared as, for example, we are in Missouri. Stronger homes, deliberate home placement, knowing when to go to the basement, the sort of things people in Tornado alley have adapted to doing over centuries may not be as prevalent outside the area. Thus, Alabama may actually have fewer tornadoes, but since people are not expecting them, they're more deadly. Just like how we here in Missouri would have no idea how to react to Hurricanes lol.

Excellent point! A tornado toppled some train cars around here and we don't even get the big tornados.

[@skitzy7776]

I kind of love that you use the weather alert sound as your censor lol.

@@MariaCabrera-ns9cm I'm aware of what it is... I'm just trying to help add to the point the original commentor was making about a storm chaser that uses the effect as a censor sound in a humorous fashion. It's akin to Metalocalypse's guitar riff censor sound effect and then having some technicality lord being all "It's not a riff, it's a [technical term] that's also used in other forms of media outside of metal music." Everybody's a walking Wikipedia these days in the most unnecessary fashion ever: In KZbin comment sections. Just leave Britney alone!

No judgement over here man. I tell ya. When I moved from California to N.C., I saw my first tornado! After seeing it, I wanted to become a meteorologist. I only got my two year in science at the community college, but I still wanted to move somewhere I could see more tornados. Watching your videos make me realize there's so many more variables that go into being a storm chaser.Your videos have probably saved other chasers lives.

[@blackdragoness21]

It doesn't surprise me that Alabama had that many fatalities. I live in Alabama and I have noticed that tornadoes that appear here are like rogues in Dungeons and Dragons. They can strike any time and anywhere and do massive damage and most of them are rain-wrapped so you will never see them coming. Then you have certain areas that are prone to tornadoes that are a lot more populated now than in the past (the Huntsville city and surrounding counties for instance) which increases the damage and lives are more at risk. Alabama is a beautiful state but please be weather aware and take tornado warnings seriously.

[@coastdweller]

Yeah, the night after the Tuscaloosa tornado my town in Georgia was hit at 12:50 am on April 28th. My home was destroyed but fortunately me, my wife, and our dogs rode it out in a closet unscathed, however a husband and wife were killed and their daughter was severely injured just two miles away.

[@gsp49]

I read that Georgia has the most east of the Mississippi. Every town in Georgia has been hit by a tornado.

[@moondropbreyers2566]

Louisiana is now a part of tornado alley but is not listed here, just in 2018 we had 70 which is half the united states average per year, we have a death toll now of 85ish deaths per year by tornados. In 2019 we have had 60 tornados and still 2 months to go. They call Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama the Dixie part of Tornado alley, or "Dixie Alley" meaning southern part of the alley (tornado alley)

I've always been fascinated with extreme weather. Tornadoes mostly. I've learned a ton about them watching your channel. One thing I've never been able to understand though is sudden direction changes. With a hurricane, you can forecast a direction change but it seems to be completely random for tornadoes at least for chasers. If I was a chaser, that would be the most concerning thing for me. Just have to hope for a good reliable escape root. Thanks for the interesting and informative videos. I can't wait for more great content

[@darlabennett9511]

Love your videos, Hank. They are so interesting. You know the exact amount of detail and content to discuss, and, of course, your videography is phenomenal.

[@sunniesclementine9789]

When I was on a road trip in Virginia once, we (me, my dad, brother and sister) got tornado alerts on our phones. After seeing everyone NOT finding protection, we decided to leave our taco bell rest stop and drive out of the storm zone. I swear I saw a skinny funnel in the distance but my siblings didn't believe me. While we were driving, I saw lumps in the clouds which looked like forming tornados. According to my dad they were "just clouds being clouds". I've been doing some research and have concluded that those WERE forming tornados with unclear boundaries like you said.

[@abogadojon]
