I actually just went up to Joplin today to take my girlfriend out to eat. It's crazy still how entire sections of the town look brand new because almost all the businesses and homes had to be rebuilt. I'll tell you this though, as someone who lived in Southwest Missouri in 2011, that tornado didn't hurt just Joplin. It devastated the entire area because Joplin was the primary place a lot of the people in smaller towns worked, went grocery shopping, did fun stuff etc. I'm not sure I have data to back it up, but it caused a lot of people, including my family, to have to move away from our smaller towns to find work elsewhere as well as just have a new center for commerce and fun. It was really sad.

I live in Dixie Alley and we were struck by an EF-3 at 4a.m. about 11 years ago. I don’t recall hearing the roar of the wind but I could hear the most minuscule sounds intensely. I heard windows breaking upstairs, I could hear debris hitting our basement windows, I heard the garage doors creaking before they crumpled, I heard a door slam after a window broke, and I heard trees falling onto and into the house. I also looked at the garage door once and it looked like some weird Tim Burton claymation movie. The lightning was like a strobe light, leaves and small rocks were moving across the windows in a jerky motion, and since the power had gone out, there was a stark discontinuity between the short periods of darkness and the bright flashes. I wish I had focused beyond the surface of the windows because I believe that I was observing debris flying around outside the house but I never focused on it because I was transfixed on the odd show on the window.

I can confirm the "sounds like a train" thing is totally real. I don't remember my first hit by a tornado as I was 4 years old other than the massive winds, but as an adult an EF2 has just dissipated a few miles before coming my way, and a new EF1 tornado had formed right on top of me and finally touched down a quarter mile away across the highway and moved for a couple miles, flipping over some cars. As you said I had no chance of seeing the tornado except my TV broadcast going out just minutes before arrival and the swirling vortex above me moving to form touch down had this low, loud, roar that can only be described as a fast locomotive passing by.

I grew up in North Carolina in the 90s. I was a weather nerd child and remember the Jarell Tornado being a big deal but for whatever reason, maybe cause I'm more of a hurricane nerd, I didn't really know much about it other than that it was bad. Now, I'm a NWS meteorologist in Houston, TX and have been doing a lot of severe weather and radar training which has lead me to look at famous tornadoes in more detail. The Jarell tornado has recently become an obsession of mine. It is such a weird and terrifying tornado. Great idea for a case study video if you haven't done one already.

This is a great story. I grew up in Texas and moved to North Carolina in 1996. I moved from Salado to Raleigh just before the Jarell tornado hit and remember thinking how mad I was that I missed it(logic of a 9 yo mind lol). Little did I know that I was in nc just in time for Hurricane Fran which devastated nc from Raleigh to the coast. 2 weeks without power and everything was flooded including my school so we were out of school for weeks. I lived in Cary NC in 2011 and remember the 2011 tornado outbreak. We had friends staying with us when the storm hit and it was a pretty fun experience in the end. I worked for a small construction company at the time and we stopped building the addition we were working on and spent the next week cutting trees off peoples homes at no cost. I remember how dedicated my boss was to volunteering for the community in a time of need. In 2017 I moved to Morehead City only to be smashed by hurricane Florence a year later. We evacuated to Raleigh for 3 days and returned to a tree across our house and garage and our property was under about a foot of water. That sucked. It was hot and there was no power at our house for 4 weeks because of the extensive damage in our neighborhood. Now I live in central Texas again and I have 4 kids of my own and I dread the tornado sirens.

Wow! SO much material, ALL of it fascinating. I anxiously await part 2. Speaking from experience, I was in the 4th grade on April 3, 1974, the day of the Xenia tornado. I lived and grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio, which borders Xenia to the west. That tornado literally flew over us and touched down there. I remember when my mom drove me through there a couple weeks later. It literally looked like a war zone. My history teacher in 8th grade survived it and told us so many stories about his experiences, amazing stuff! I’ve told you before, I’m a truck driver (owner-op) and I drove through Greensburg, KS shortly after and then subsequently many times during the next few years, watching it slowly rebuild over time. Those people are resilient for sure! Same with Joplin. The Flying J truck stop was leveled in that storm and has since been rebuilt. A more iconic truck stop, the Joplin Petro, owned by the same people who own the Iowa 80 and it is built very similar to the Iowa 80 (the world’s largest truck stop) with iconic trucks and chrome shop in a spectacular show room display, thankfully was spared. Once again, awesome research on your part, I SO appreciate you. Congrats on the 50k subs, you deserve it! 👍👍

I was surprised he didn't mention the pivotal role that storm spotters/storm chasers play in saving lives, both by being the “eyes in the field” for the meteorologists in the studio, but also by the data that they collect. The National Weather Service offers “Storm Spotter Training Courses” every year, & I attended the class in Topeka (Kansas) several years ago, having got my interest in meteorology from my dad, whose nickname is “Doppler Dean”.

If you ever make an enhanced version you should mention the double funnel photo from the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak since it's fairly iconic, and the outbreak itself. Dunlap, Indiana was actually hit by two F4s that day.

I remember the tornado outbreak when I was a kid in 2005. Evansville IN got hit hard. Made me terribly scared of tornadoes. Woke up early enough to call my grandma and she took shelter. It happened really early in the morning, like midnight to 3am.

I was in the 2011 super outbreak, I was 3 at the time any my family went to go and pick my older brother up from school. My Father told me as we were leaving, the trees were tipping and breaking and the car was shaking. Turns out, an EF1 or 2 tornado went over really close to our car! These vids are great and I’m glad you cover this stuff.

Came here just to say, I knew I had heard of the “tornado emergency” alert from somewhere and figured out it was from this video. I knew it was somewhere on your channel. I was in a tornado emergency last night, scariest thing I’ve ever been through and I wasn’t even hit with the worst of it. But your channel went from “morbid fascination of mine” since I live in a tornado prone area, I’m scared of them but also fascinated, to “oh my god wait I’ve actually heard of this this is bad” and helping me get a grasp on an actual situation. Thanks for your videos!

The tri state tornado is actually theorized to be several tornadoes due to the nature of the long track and the associated outbreak. however it would be nearly impossible to confirm this as it happened nearly 100 years ago. I would highly recommend the channel weather box to learn more.

Very glad a youtuber like you specialized in tornadoes. Got really tired of the reality show-esque storm chaser shows. Also growing up in the 90's you either had to get lucky on PBS, Real TV happened to have a segment on a tornado, or your own local news station (not ideal).

I’m just finding your channel yesterday and have been watching non stop. I watched a single tornado video then my recommendations are filled with nothing but tornado content. I’m a firefighter in NJ and we really don’t see tornados, but we had one a year and a half ago by my area in Gloucester County. We went to a small older town to help them open up and do rescue efforts and it looked like a warzone. I wanna go out and to the alley and find them now. Looking forward to more content!

Quick comment on the Greensburg Kansas tornado. The autumn after that happened, my middle school decided to put on a production of Wizard of Oz, where every penny went to help Greensburg Kansas recuperate. I was one of the munchkins/emerald city civilians, and it was a very cheap production for what my school typically does, but that was one of the best memories from middle school, and I'm glad we were able to help in some way.

Wills story is wild - he and his dad were driving home and he got sucked out, they mentioned him missing that night and the sirens went off as if he wasn’t supposed to be talked about, and the scariest part was how little we cared about cutting trees at the time. The branches were so wild you couldn’t see anything around you other than flashes of lightning every once and a while, ugggh that whole day was wild and it just showed up out of nowhere, there was a Royals game happening, so much

I remember the Wray co tornado! I was about 13 at the time and lived 2+ hours AWAY from Wray, my mom and I’s home (2 story townhouse + basement) got a SERIOUSLY BAD rainstorm, our street was slightly flooded and down a small set of stairs through a hill to the parking lot, used to be 2 pine trees that was about the size of the homes themselves that were completely uprooted during the storm. Wray co reminded me A LOT of the 2012 flooding that devastated so much, one of dad and I’s favorite hiking spots was one of those places, neither one of us recognized it.

I grew up in Georgetown, just under 10 miles south of Jarrell, TX. I was home alone that day the F5 struck. I took shelter in my bathroom, because of the reports of this tornado, plus reports of another tornado that was on the ground in Cedar Park, to my southwest. Thankful my neighborhood didn’t get hit, but felt horrible for the folks in Jarrell.

I live outside of Portland, Oregon now, but in 1967 my family moved to Topeka, Kansas due to my Air Force dad being stationed there. We moved there within a year after the June 8, 1966 Topeka tornado, and the path through town was still quite noticeable. I didn't live here in 1972 when the tornado hit Portland and Vancouver WA, but my experiences in Topeka taught me to take thunderstorms very seriously.

Thanks to channels like yours and Carly Anna’s, I already knew about most of these things. Looking forward to checking out the next one! I agree, tornadoes are scariest at night. Twice in my childhood, my mom woke me up and got me out of bed, telling me we had to get into the basement. And twice, I sat with my family in our basement, watching the weather, and feeling sure that we were going to die (the tornadoes never even got close to my town, but still). Even recently, in 2022, an emergency alert on my phone woke me up to a tornado warning in my area. They’re scary enough during the day, but at night…whole other ball game.

Hey! I’m from Murphysboro, Illinois. One of the cities hit by the Tri-State tornado! We have some residents who are still alive today that were children who survived the event. My dad’s home village, Gorham, was completely destroyed by the tornado and never really recovered. One of the more famous photos of some gentleman standing in a rail yard was actually where my childhood home sat 70+ years later. We found tracks, and boards from the old station in our yard. It led to a HUGE lawsuit with the county, resulting in all of us losing our homes due to Lead exposure in the dirt. Myself and several other children were tested for lead poisoning, and luckily none of us were affected. I’m a little sad you didn’t talk about it, but I understand that it’s somewhat well known and talked about.

I feel you on the tornado nerd part. I'm so obsessed with tornadoes that I'm going to college to try and become a weather warning coordinator for the national weather service! I even met the lead weather coordinator for my area recently while attending the SKYWARN Volunteer Training earlier this year. Whenever we have bad weather in my area, I'm always the first one to raise the alarm to my classmates, professors, friends, and family members. ...My family still laughs at me over that one time I spotted rotation.

I'm not sure how or why the frick I started watching your channel since I'm scared to death of tornadoes, but your videos are always interesting and they've helped me be more comfortable to see an image/video of a tornado without worrying about having a nightmare that night. It's also helped me recognize and appreciate the potential beauty in these storms. I'll always be scared of tornadoes--I have the movie Into The Storm, and my brother, to blame for that--but at least I can appreciate them a little more.

Additionally the unsettling calmness minutes prior to the storm is another thing that sticks out.
