Someone uploaded the national geographic documentary about the El Reno tornado a few weeks ago, on KZitem. I never realized just how many stormchasers were in trouble that day. It's definitely worth watching.

I haven't seen that documentary, so thanks for mentioning it. There is a terrific video called El Reno: Lessons From the Most Dangerous Tornado in Storm Observing History, that really explains all the reasons why this storm caught so many people off guard. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend.

Tornadoes, waterspouts, cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes are all "Atmospheric vortices", but on very different scales. In the Indian Ocean large circular storms are called "Cyclones", in the Pacific they're called "Typhoons", while Atlantic storms are called "Hurricanes", The smaller scale disturbances are tornadoes on land and waterspouts over bodies of water.

Hi Kabir, I live in Tornado Alley (north Texas) and have been lucky enough to have seen five tornadoes without being hurt. They are truly amazing! I was in my car, about to go fishing and was parked at a bait and tackle shop, when I looked up and saw a snakey tornado come out of the clouds and touch down in an open field. Later, I was driving towards the lake and I saw another one. That made two in one day! The very next year I was parked outside of Hulen Mall, waiting for my little sister to get off work at a clothing store, when I witnessed a large, perfectly column shaped tornado about a quarter of a mile wide touch down behind the mall. Luckily, the area was sparsely populated. No one was injured, and if there had been more buildings it would have been an F3. The other two I saw were low, wide ones, probably F2 or F3.

Driving a lot across the US i've seen, up close several tornadoes. They were Ef1 or EF0. I did come close to the 2011 tornado that devastated Tuscaloosa heading to Birminghan, in Alabama. I was with my mom and stepdad in Birmingham when i heard the tornado was ripping through Tuscaloosa. I grabbed my family, who just finished with doctors at the UAB hospital. I drove them far away as the tornado reached the outskirts of Birminghan. It was recorded as an EF4.

Cyclones are another word for hurricanes. In fact, there are many words in English for hurricanes around the world. Depending on where you live will determine the correct and official word used. For example in the northern hemisphere near the US, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico and Northern areas of South America and Europe the word used is hurricane. In north Asia, near Japan, The Philippines the word is Typhoon. In the the southern hemisphere near Australia and New Zealand the word cyclone is used. Fun fact: Cyclones/hurricanes and typhoons in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise while those same storms spin counterclockwise or anti-clockwise in the northern hemisphere. The spin direction is determined by rotation of the Earth. No matter what name is used, a hurricane, cyclone and typhoon are all the same type of storm.

That one was so terrifying. I live in northeastern MD so I wasn't close to the La Plata tornado, but dear god, knowing that one THAT powerful was possible in our state has freaked me out ever since. I wasn't even THERE and it caused some sort of trauma, lol. Whenever there's a tornado watch/warning and I'm watching the news (wjz or something) somehow I always end up noticing La Plata on the map and thinking about that tornado.

How do you prepare for a disaster? In my school in Idaho it was earthquake drills (duck and protect your head) and bomb threats (at that time in 1960s-vacate the building as calmly as possible. This was almost weekly during the Viet Nam war).

In the 60s, in my elementary school, we practiced nuclear bomb drills. Flie out to the interior hallways, kneel down with your face, facing the wall, lean forward with your head between your knees and wait for the all clear. We didn't understand what a nuclear bomb was or could do. So this was a somewhat fun break from schoolwork. Oh happy ignorance.

Kabir, Colorado had what's called a bomb cyclone a few years ago. It was the first time I'd heard of such a thing. The winds were unbelievable but some areas in the storm were calm. I thought we were in a snow tornado. People were out hiking and even crazier people were driving. It's me I'm even crazier people... After we found out there were pileups and people's houses collapsed, that were more East in the city, some of us wondered how the city failed us so badly. Those things run on you fast but even more crazy a lot of businesses stayed open because no one new the danger. They were out rescuing some man off "the incline", a popular hiking trail and people abandoned their vehicles. Nothing as bad as these but hindsight is scary.

I live in Houston, Texas and we're watching the tornado that hit all the islands, Yucatan peninsula, and is now dancing up the coastline towards everyone. Even at a tropical storm we had major flooding (hurricane Harvey, downgraded). There were areas close to me completely under water. Our major street for the area was waste deep on me at its highest point This is not a good time. Of course, with the one right now we are on the dirty side which is a horrible place to be.

We may have the most tornadoes of any country but the chances of one affecting your life is very slim. I've lived in Iowa for 53 years and have never even seen one. But I've been through two derechos. Which are storms with 100mph+ straight line winds that last for 30 minutes or more

We would've been in Atlanta during that tornado, but my brother in law was getting married several hundred miles away. It was scary trying to reach neighbors to see if it hit the neighborhood (it didn't, thank goodness). Not sure which is more scary - being in the path, or knowing your house is in the path but you're not there?
