Tornado Emergencies of 2021

In the year 2021, tornado season was interesting as April, May, and June were all pretty quiet... Several strong to violent tornadoes hit all throughout the year with the strongest tornadoes hitting in early December. This video goes in depth on each tornado that had a tornado emergency, accompanied with it are facts, images and radar loops of each tornado! The pink "polygon" you see in each radar clip shows the tornado emergency issued alongside the designated tornado for that radar loop.

I remember wanting to be a meteorologist ever since childhood but dropped the idea of becoming one after finding out how in college you gotta do calculus and pre calculus nonstop 😭

[@christophersteppat7865]

Calc 1-3 I think along with calculus based physics 1 and 2

[@reamin]

I wanted to go into meteorology too but I can’t do calculus to save my life 😀 I literally almost failed that class and didn’t graduate hs 😭

[@beatlemyn]

Me too! No calculus based physics for me!

[@borderline_sunshine]

Meteorology was my dream job and I loved it so much, reading all the natural disaster books they had in the library and my dad putting Blown Away by Carrie Underwood on and showing me it, it was my passion but when I found out about the fact that in college all they did was constant calculus I literally had my dream crushed. Shout out to those who stuck through their dream even after learning about the nonstop calculus, it's sad that a lot of future meteorologists are lost because of the college course being non stop calculus

[@nessa7444]

Facts!! Same with me

You know it's bad when you can see the entire supercell structure on correlation coefficient.

[@OriginalRaveParty]

That satellite graphic for Mayfield is just horrible. It got more violent just as it moved into the city, right after putting out a hail spike due to the massive amount of debris inside it. Monster.

[@sillylillib1lly]

I live near the city of Mayfield. On December 10th, I remember monitoring radars around 7 p.m as a rotating storm made its way into Kentucky. We suffered minor wind damage, but just to my south by about a mile, there was complete destruction.

[@3NTR4PT4]

As someone who lives about 10 minutes away from Peactree City, that surprise Newnan tornado was terrifying.

[@entertainmentmaster4]

I was directly in the path of the first warning and hearing that warning a year later still gives me major chills

[@NewJerseyWX]

9:00 “This is a zero particularly dangerous situation.” Yes I actually knew he would add the NJ Tornado

[@austinwessonmusic777]

The second one dissipated about 5 mins before it was on track to hit my workplace. That was a wild day. Even over a year later the Eagle Point area from the first storm from this video has noticeable damage to trees, homes and businesses.

[@wmavfacebookstyle]

I remembered the tornado emergency in September during Ida... I've never seen the TV meteorologists in Philadelphia be absolutely floored with hearing language in these tornado warnings like some of these were: especially considering that we never had a tornado emergency in the Northeastern US let alone several Particularly Dangerous Situation tornado and flash flood warnings in one day

[@hertzwave8001]

i wanted to go outside and experience the weather but my father freaked out when he saw the tornado and flood warnings on TV just as i got out of the bathroom to leave lol, in hindsight the event was much more wild than even what i saw outside my window that night

[@whoreadsthesethingsanyway1865]

Honestly the Tupelo TOR-E was the creepiest but the most shocking was the Mayfield one

[@sairbanana7393]

I was in Mercer County NJ and was horrified to be in the first ever location on the East Coast to get a TOR-E. And then, as it turned out, it did little damage and lifted quickly. So I guess I learned that sometimes things turn out to be all right in the end.

[@sbclaridge]

Not sure what you consider to be "East Coast," but the first Tornado Emergency in an eastern seaboard state occurred in North Carolina on March 28, 2010, with a tornado that hit High Point, NC. I was about to mention April 16, 2011 (major tornado outbreak in eastern NC with 4 TOR-Es issued), until I realized that the 2010 High Point tornado had a TOR-E. If you are only referring to the Mid-Atlantic (including Virginia) and New England by "East Coast," then you would be correct. La Plata in 2002 might get a TOR-E today, but those were still a very new thing when it happened; the only TOR-Es issued prior to April 28, 2002 occurred in Oklahoma (Moore 1999) and Texas (Fort Worth 2000).

[@elle7768]

I live in Alabama. The first one showed in this video actually hit our meteorologist’s house. (James Spann.. he is fairly well known in weather circles and you can pull up videos and watch him cover some really massive ones here, especially 4/27/11 Cullman and Tuscaloosa/Birmingham EF-4’s) He stayed totally calm and as it weakened he stepped off air and handed coverage to his assistant to call his wife. Luckily minimal property damage for him and his family was fine. Volunteers showed up and cleared the damage for them, and told him it was a thank you for all he’s done for us for the many years he’s been here. He is revered here in Alabama for all the lives he saved in the 2011 super outbreak (even though we ended with a death toll of 252 that day.. we had 62 tornadoes, 8 EF-4s and 3 EF-5’s. We get them often, especially in November and April).

[@TrafficCamWatch]

Suffolk, Virginia got a tornado emergency a couple years ago. I was chasing the tornado, a night time tornado. I didn't realize there was an emergency attached to the cell until I got home. The sucker passed me by 50 yards and I never saw it until I saw power flashes.

[@itssm4rc3l1n3xx]

i was in PA and was hit by it too, im very happy you're okay

[@luckynascarcat24]

If the 1953 Worcester happended now there would be a tornado emergency. Some people say it was a EF5. The 2011 tornado in Springfield was just a normal tornado warning not a PDS warning which is a level 2 out of 3

[@Lionheart9187]

12:02 saving for me. I have a friend that lives in Caruthersville. She was at her college (UoA) but her mom was home and she had to flee to the high school where they had a good tornado shelter already. A huge tornado has struck Caruthersville before back in 2006 and that caused the town to make storm shelters to prevent any other loss of life. The tornado moved in between Hayti and Caruthersville but my friend's mom said it was a scary and nasty night. Grateful shes ok.

[@courtneyrulz08]

4:17 I got a play by play from my sister that night. All those places are sooo familiar even my high school. That thing lifted at the right time...missed my mom's house.

[@luckynascarcat24]

There was a Flash Flood Emergency and Tornado Emergency at the same time during Sep 1 for Bucks County PA. It has only happended 2 times in history the other was May 6 2003 in AL

[@footballisthebest0]

I’m near Berks next to buck but I didn’t get one

[@footballisthebest0]

What intensety was it

[@luckynascarcat24]

Emergencies are classed as Catastrophic PDS TORNADO WARNING and life threatening flash flooding is classed as Considerable

[@jaijoseph6248]

Yes Post Tropical Ida Caused this I was in Louisiana when she hit it was real scary

[@Michiganian8]

This is good that your educating people about these type of emergencies 👍🏽

[@spclanghorne4494]

I live in Langhorne, PA and was in that TOE for Burlington, NJ. It was absolutely terrifying, as just a month earlier an EF-3 passed just over a yard away from my job.

[@senry-tm8lq]

awesome job!

[@daver00lzd00d]

that Farmington, MO one sure was a mean looking bastard! the debris signatures are nuts

[@christophersteppat7865]

I remember the Mercer county one. Was bowling in my bowling league in the county over and bowled one of my lowest games in a long time.

[@vibrantgleam]

Imagine just casually having fun bowling and then a tornado emergency.

[@afterburner119]

You earned a sub bud!

[@nicholaskrasznavolgyi6340]

Thanks man! Really appreciated 🙏

[@ilovelolsurprise3419]

And THAT my friends was my first tornado emergency. The only other time I had to take cover was the 7/29 outbreak

[@mcgrubbermd2611]

Can’t wait for the 2022 version.

[@poggergen1937]

That second one just scared the shit out of me from how loud and abrupt it was

[@Mrgamerdude42]

The first warning seriously stopped less then 1 mile away from my house

[@lemonadeyess]

I was in Trenton during Ida and I was scared bc I never had a Tornado Emergency before

[@TheOfficalItalian]

There was a tornado going down my street this year march 22 or 23 and now I'm scared of thunderstorm during tornado season

[@nymonroenoaa1926]

I subbed :D

[@hunterporth3302]

The Centerville AL Tornado had Characteristics of a High End EF4 tornado if it would hit a more populated are it would have likely gotten that rating

[@itzaustin9147]

Wheres the Bowling green Kentucky one?

[@JacobDoffing42]

Why am I just now learning that 58 people were killed near Mayfield, KY? I knew that tornado claimed many lives, but I didn't read anything about it claiming THAT many lives.

[@jennamoss1740]

The tornado travelled a while and it ended up killing more people before and after it hit mayfuels

[@jayrowell2468]

it was in the news for weeks

[@Sj430]

That tornado was on the ground for 165.5 miles. That did not help the death toll

[@babayagaslobbedaknobba]

There's currently a lawsuit that the employees of Mayfield Consumer Products filed against the owners of the company, where many of those people died. They had refused to allow employees to leave early, even though they knew the storm was coming, and knew it was potentially very dangerous. They even blocked the exits.

[@jennamoss1740]

@@babayagaslobbedaknobba the managers also said they gave the employees a 20 minute notice to be able to get in shelter but the employees said they didn't and they had like 5 minutes to get to the shelter

[@AirRaider56]

They gave mayfield literally zero warning for the tornado emergency. The tornado was literally on top of the town.

[@nicholaskrasznavolgyi6340]

Agreed, but the fatality count wouldn’t have changed either way.

[@Sj430]

The nws in dodge city ks put out a tornado emergency before the tornado hit Greensburg ks.

[@nicholaskrasznavolgyi6340]

@@Sj430 Has nothing to do with the Mayfield EF4, but yes you are correct! 👍

[@Sj430]

@@nicholaskrasznavolgyi6340 I know that had nothing to do with Mayfield. but I was just making a point that the nws can issue a tornado emergency before the tornado is right on top of a city.

[@RodknockRhett]

@@Sj430 then why don't you go work for them? These storms can forum put of nowhere. The Greensburg tornado was one the ground for 20 miles in the middle of nowhere before it reached Greensburg. Some tornadoes can drop right on top of a town.

I remember watching some tv when I got the tornado warning in Shelby county in the town of helena where I live then a couple minutes later the tornado arrived like it was sonic I had no clue that tornadoes were in my state when the first one was issued in greene and hale counties I just wanted to watch some tv Edit: I was in a mobile home but it wasn’t destroyed somehow

This is why I hate living in houses and mobile homes. I rather live in a brick apartment. Apartment is safer than houses.

[@jayrowell2468]

nope unfortunately for you it isn't. apartments get leveled all the time in tornadoes

[@sunakorose]

You wanna know whats safer? A underground house they actually exist. Apartments are just as bad as houses.

[@truck_dude]

@@jayrowell2468 But houses scares me the most. I live in a brick apartment and I could just go in a safe place in the apartment. So

[@RodknockRhett]

@@truck_dude my house is brick with a full basement which is arguably safer then an apartment building.

[@KermitTheGamer21]

If your apartment is on the second floor, it's actually more dangerous. Brick isn't any more sturdy than wood and plaster in the face of a tornado. If your apartment is on the first floor, it's also bad if you are against one of the outside walls, because once the roof goes the outer walls are next, and it's easier for debris to hit you if it only travels through one wall. You want to put as many walls between you and the tornado as possible.

[@renae2954]

12/10 is my birthday, sad to know that people were losing their lives while I was celebrating.

What is the difference between a PDS Tornado and a Tornado Emergency?

[@deletemepls-s2l]

PDS TOR means a large tornado is in a rural area or in not very populated areas. Meanwhile Tornado Emergencies are issued when large and deadly tornadoes are forecasted to hit a heavily populated area.

[@rektspresso7288]

@@deletemepls-s2lThat's incorrect. PDS warning is just the step in between a regular warning and an emergency. Population is a factor that's considered in which type is issued, but you can have a PDS in a highly populated area or an emergency in a less populated area

[@deletemepls-s2l]

@@rektspresso7288 here let me rephrase what I said. I was wrong. Basically a TORE means that catastrophic damage is expected and PDS TOR means considerable damage is expected.
