By the way, as you probably can tell I'm a devoted adherent of Meteorology or any division of Atmospheric Sciences for that matter. I plan own pursuing a profession in some subsidiary of Meteorology with a concentration and specialization on Tornadoes. I've been intrigued by Tornadoes since I was only at the age of three. Thanks for uploading this particular documentary based program from the early 1990's. The eerie musical score just solidifies how much more interesting Tornadoes really are.
The Mesocyclone that produced the EF5 Andover/Wichita/McConnell Air Force Base Tornado is one of the most widely regarded Supercells in U.S. Meteorological history. From the recent April 27th, 2011 Tornado Outbreak, that exceeded the original 1974 Super Outbreak in terms of accumulation. The overall external appearance of the EF4 wedge configured Tornado that ravaged Tuscaloosa, AL slightly resembled the 1991 Tornado. It was almost twenty years to the exact date of the activity. Coincidental.
no, that's more around 7:45 because the timestamp you give is when it was still over nearly total open farmland SW of Andover. As it enters Andover the amount of debris explodes from nearly nothing to air filled very quickly thanks in part to the rapid upward motion within the vortex and of course horizontal winds.
I still have the 1993 VHS tape ordered from the Weather Channel but no working VCR, unfortunately. Thanks for posting. Who could forget that eerie music of Laurie Spiegel. The Tornado Project put out a very good series of videos in Tornado Video Classics.
The first shot of the tornado is coming across Mcconnel AFB.There were NOT any B1B bombers on the tarmac.I used to go to the base 1to3 times a week for deliverys.I was there the Monday after,and the B1Bs were still secured.
The are sooooo full of SHIT on this video! Sorry narrator but the USAF or any branch of our military does not and would not leave any planes on the tarmac loaded with live nuclear warheads. Especially if there is report of bad weather within 50 to 100 miles out let alone get let one right up to base.
Actually you are wrong because McConnell did not contain near enough hangars for the number of large aircraft at the base. I don't know of a single DOD installation that does anyways.
@CelticDragon0 There technically WAS such a thing as an F6 tornado before the enhanced fujita scale came about a few years ago. If you read the description of this video, the poster even says so and why. Just because there hadn't been one, didn't mean there wasn't an F6 on the original scale.
The only tornado in history that they even "considered" calling an F6 was the 1974 Xenia, Ohio twister and even THAT storm didn't even get to that level
Back in 9th grade, my Geology teacher played this movie. I hated Geo class because all the kids in there wouldnt shut up. But when she played this movie...the entire class was completely silent, as though intranced by this movie. Thank you so much for uploading, I never got to finish this movie.
Thanks a lot for uploading, although I must say that I remember seeing this years back with no narration and found it much more hypnotic and captivating. Do you know where I can find the version without the narration?
@thespiralgoeson There are probably used copies on eBay and Amazon both with and without narration. The seller should say which version is being offered.
I'm wondering if rocket tech could be employed to disrupt the tornado.The tomahawk missles cost about 1 million $each, a tornado does millions in damage like the 1 in this vid 100 200 million. Shoot it into the top of tornado explode it the result disrupted airflow might disrupt it enough so it can't form again.I think there is something to this should atleast be looked into. We can detonate these rockets easyly from a distance. Just a thought, but the physics should work
@Tornanime The tornado would not have made them detonate, a nuke does not work like a conventional bomb and shock will not make it go off. The cold war was still underway when that tornado occurred and we kept our bombers inland to protect them from attack.
Got a question...since the Andover tornado was one the ground for a good while, whey didn't McConnell scramble those B1s before the tornado got that close? Would have made more sense then letting them just sit and take that big of a chance? I dunno that's just me lol.
The sounds those storms create is dramatic enough... they don't need cheesey sound effects. "Bzzzt!" No, really? Is that what a power pole sounds like when something dominates it? =p
There are a few Tornados in American history that would have fallen into an EF6 category if there were such a category. But for whatever reason we don't have that, so they lump them into the EF5 group. it's not that they're not possible- theres just not enough of them to gather enough data to give them their own category.
Sad that most of the information on this video is outdated. Such as when he says that tornadoes make houses "explode". It has been proven that debris hitting the structures and high winds cause all damage in a tornado. And lol at the 'baked trees'.
@cbehr91 I thought the crashing sounds were from Lone wolf McQuade. Of course, the sirens were ominously reproduced with the synthesizer. Youtube should have a content advisory for fake reproduction. Yeah, the real sounds were a hell of a lot more scary and some replica doesn't give the average youtard any real sense of the danger posed by such a violent force in nature. I've been close to a lot of large tornadoes as a chaser and mouthy kids have no idea what the hell they're dealing with.
Just imagine if the tornado hit those nukes it would blow up the hole state..... hell it would blow up more then just the state other states to........ I live in Colorado so i boarder kansas man i would be dead. lol
@guysofhell This has already been discussed earlier in the comments section of this video. I had read somewhere years ago that if the tornado had directly hit the planes that they probably wouldn't have exploded, however there probably would've leaked nuclear fluid, which obviously isn't good.
@guysofhell No, those are the type of nukes where we use a several kiloton explosion just to detonate them. Basicly, these nukes are so powerfull we use hiroshima sized bombs just to set them off. A tornado wouldn't do it. They could toss and break the nukes but it wouldn't cause a nuclear explosion.
@guysofhell nukes are very stable, and they have integrated safety systems. It's pretty hard to set one off by impact, flame, etc. Like others said though, a tornado smashing one would be bad just because of the leaked radioactive material.
Also, our bombs are big, but think "destroy most of Denver" big, not "turns entire states into craters" big.
actually, now it would be conceivable since since the OK 1999 F5 was measured at 318, so a future above that speed is quite possible/probable.
"With winds above 318 mph (509 kph), F6 tornadoes are considered "inconceivable tornadoes." No F6 has ever been recorded and the wind speeds are very unlikely. It would be difficult to measure such a tornado as there would be no objects left to study. Some continue to measure tornadoes up to F12 and Mach 1 (the speed of sound) at 761.5 mph (1218.4 kph)"
Dr Fujita almost rated Xenia '74 an F-6, and then backed off and kept it "F-5" due to not knowing for sure how strong the structures were that he was inspecting, before the tornado. If they were as strong as he suspected they were (but couldnt prove), then it would of reached F-6.
I just got a still factory sealed copy of this tape for just 45¢ (plus $2.98 shipping and handling). I wish they had did a better job at transferring the old motion picture films to video. It looks like they used one of those cheapo telecine machines where a projector goes in one end and a camcorder goes in the other and records the film.
Well rougegirl29 there is a f6 catagory. Mr. Fujita created it because he said. f0 through f5 describes what damage tornados have done but there wasn't one for complete destruction. So he created an f6 catagory which in order for one to classify it need to have wind ranging from 300 mpgs to Mach 1 speeds.... Yes i am nerd. :-)
Not in the new and revised verision of the Fujita Scale (or should I say Enhanced Fujita). If anyone says that a tornado exceeds EF5, then it's a rumor.
On the original scale, it was labelled "inconceivable tornado". In practice, it was never used because it would have been impossible to distinguish F5 and F6 damage; F5 damage sweeps foundations clean (and, in the case of the Jarrell, TX tornado in 1997, rips asphalt from the road and dirt from the ground).
People don't realize, this is recorded from the opposite side of town. The tornado is actually 1/2 mile south of the homes and the associated Terradyne Country Club. The homes did get hit with heavy inlow winds, of about 50mph as it went across the southside of Andover though. So the homes were out of the danger zone as this tornado had a very compact windfield and associated debris cloud.
5:13 is a myth. Although studies are still being conducted the greatest pressure drop recorded by a tornado was 100 millibars, about 10% of sea level. This was in an F4 which could level a house with winds and debris alone.
I think they say it in that way, to give the audience a more graphic, 'motion picturesque' view of the tornado. I've noticed that they kind of walk the line between science and fiction in this video.
You need to think before YOU ***WRITE*** The comment above was "I hate what they said at 5:16" at 5:16 the narrator says "the higher air pressure creates an explosion, shattering the walls and bursting the ceiling" and so in response to his comment I asked "does not a tornado shatter the walls and burst the ceiling?" I wasn't stating it, I was asking him why he hated the quote. Anything else to say Chadman?
@Chadman1125 ..... Air pressure changes arn't what cause things to be destroyed. The damage is caused by the high winds and then when it comes into a populated area the damage is enhanced by debris slamming into things. Keep up to date with your research, this video is from the early 1990's at best.
in fact lab tests reveal that tornado doesn't burst ceilings like in told in the video but instead the tornado's high wind push into the weakest points of the house and debris also causes hole in the house to open.
They need to revise Tornadoes: The Entity to include the rest of the deadly tornadoes of the 90s, such as the one that destroyed the church in Alabama, that killed 20 people, including the minister's daughter, the Jarrell, Texas F5 tornado that killed 27; the April 1998 tornadoes, F5 that struck outside of Birmingham, Alabama and the Nashville, TN outbreak and the May 3, 1999 OK tornado outbreak.
I think, though, the F6 is depicted as such because in the future there may be F6-level. The earth's axial tilt will cause storms of the proportion of F6.
But there would be nothing left to rank the tornado. The Fujita Scale ranks tornadoes by the damage they cause. If a tornado ever exceeded F5, then the whole foundation of a house or other structure would be 100 % wiped clean.
when that tornado hit Oklahoma in 1999. there were alot of people sayin it came close to an f6 because of how much it destroyed and how fast its winds were. I know there is no such thing as an f6. I was bored and raised in NE where tornadoes are a regular. but now i live in AZ
Th thing is the scale is base don damage, not wind speed, F5 damage leaves no room for a higher category. The theoretical scale goes up to F12, the operational scale only goes up to F5.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale only goes up to EF% as well.
Josh3B; I couldn't agree more. I've seen many tornadoes in my life. I was being sarcastic, (hence the winky face) because tornadoes literally "suck" things up.
I do remember watching the un-narrated version a long time ago before I got the narrated one. But, that was a very long time ago...probably way back in the 1990s, lol.
"Two B-1 bombers loaded with nuclear warheads"?! Does our military really just leave these planes sitting around above ground with those things loaded up?!
Can you imagine what would've happened if the tornado actually destroyed those B-1 bombers with all those nuclear weapons at McConnell Airforce Base? KABOOOM!!!!! The whole city probably would've been leveled, right?
Fortunately nukes can't be set off that way, to cause an actual nuclear explosion they have to be set off in a very deliberate and complicated way.
HOWEVER that being said I don't think having them smashed to hell and their radioactive material scattered around is too healthy either! Thank god they missed!
Mach II is twice the speed of sound, so it would be approx. 1,500 mph. The fasted wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 318 mph. I'm sure there have been more powerful twisters that have gone undocumented, but nothing near a F-12. There might be some wind phenomena on Jupiter that attain that velocity, but not on this planet.

It's the narrated version. I got it from a reseller on Amazon. There's still some new copies listed of both the narrated and music-only versions.

Well rougegirl29 there is a f6 catagory. Mr. Fujita created it because he said. f0 through f5 describes what damage tornados have done but there wasn't one for complete destruction. So he created an f6 catagory which in order for one to classify it need to have wind ranging from 300 mpgs to Mach 1 speeds.... Yes i am nerd. :-)

Not in the new and revised verision of the Fujita Scale (or should I say Enhanced Fujita). If anyone says that a tornado exceeds EF5, then it's a rumor.
roguegirl29 2 years ago
On the original scale, it was labelled "inconceivable tornado". In practice, it was never used because it would have been impossible to distinguish F5 and F6 damage; F5 damage sweeps foundations clean (and, in the case of the Jarrell, TX tornado in 1997, rips asphalt from the road and dirt from the ground).

You don't see tornado documentaries made like this anymore. That's why I love them so much, especially "The Ultimate Tornado Experience."

People don't realize, this is recorded from the opposite side of town. The tornado is actually 1/2 mile south of the homes and the associated Terradyne Country Club. The homes did get hit with heavy inlow winds, of about 50mph as it went across the southside of Andover though. So the homes were out of the danger zone as this tornado had a very compact windfield and associated debris cloud.

The best video clip of the Andover tornado is where it's going behind the houses. IMO. Very good video
t80tank20 2 years ago
Also, on the F6 note, although the originaly scale does go up to F12, the one put into Effect goes up to F5 for 2 reasons:
First, Fujita believed ground level winds over 318 mph were impossible, so far he has not been proven wrong
Second, the scale is damage based and when a structure takes F5 damage it is completely destroyed, leaving no room for a higher category.

5:13 is a myth. Although studies are still being conducted the greatest pressure drop recorded by a tornado was 100 millibars, about 10% of sea level. This was in an F4 which could level a house with winds and debris alone.

they are so lucky! in the narration they said the tornadoe hit 2 bombers that had NUKELIAR WARHEADS in them

,,wouldn't that be cool if it hit those bombers and the bombs went off ?, that way it could have blown the tornado to bits !

E.G. Marshall and Neil Armstrong (the astronaut) shared the narration.

First off, I'm surprised at how fast you replied to my post! You must've been on line, or something, when I posted it.
Secondly, are you sure it was two different narrators? It souded like the same person to me.

I'm positive. They may sound alike, but I assure you that there are two different narrators.

what do you mean? tornadoes don't shatter walls or burst ceilings?
TroySundt 2 years ago
they do but not in the way they describe
xxcurnuxx 2 years ago
I think they say it in that way, to give the audience a more graphic, 'motion picturesque' view of the tornado. I've noticed that they kind of walk the line between science and fiction in this video.

@TroySundt
are you dumb no are you seriously dumb you need do think before you right tornadoes defiantly burst ceilings and shatter walls
Chadman1125 2 years ago
You need to think before YOU ***WRITE*** The comment above was "I hate what they said at 5:16" at 5:16 the narrator says "the higher air pressure creates an explosion, shattering the walls and bursting the ceiling" and so in response to his comment I asked "does not a tornado shatter the walls and burst the ceiling?" I wasn't stating it, I was asking him why he hated the quote. Anything else to say Chadman?
TroySundt 2 years ago 3
@Chadman1125 ..... Air pressure changes arn't what cause things to be destroyed. The damage is caused by the high winds and then when it comes into a populated area the damage is enhanced by debris slamming into things. Keep up to date with your research, this video is from the early 1990's at best.
ksff286 1 year ago
that is not true
in fact lab tests reveal that tornado doesn't burst ceilings like in told in the video but instead the tornado's high wind push into the weakest points of the house and debris also causes hole in the house to open.

They need to revise Tornadoes: The Entity to include the rest of the deadly tornadoes of the 90s, such as the one that destroyed the church in Alabama, that killed 20 people, including the minister's daughter, the Jarrell, Texas F5 tornado that killed 27; the April 1998 tornadoes, F5 that struck outside of Birmingham, Alabama and the Nashville, TN outbreak and the May 3, 1999 OK tornado outbreak.

didnt they scale the tornado in OK as a F6?

No, there has never been an F6.
cbehr91 2 years ago
I watched a documenrty on that tornado in OK may 1999 and they said it came close to an f6 ... idk thats what they said
666jewkid 2 years ago
They were quite wrong. The large tornado on May 3, 1999 was most definitely an F5 with the highest recorded winds of 301 mph.
cbehr91 2 years ago
I think, though, the F6 is depicted as such because in the future there may be F6-level. The earth's axial tilt will cause storms of the proportion of F6.
Ran1Pen2 2 years ago
The Fujita Scale doesn't go that high. There would be nothing left.
roguegirl29 2 years ago
I know it doesnt. but a tornado can break the f5 scale.
666jewkid 2 years ago
But there would be nothing left to rank the tornado. The Fujita Scale ranks tornadoes by the damage they cause. If a tornado ever exceeded F5, then the whole foundation of a house or other structure would be 100 % wiped clean.
roguegirl29 2 years ago
I know how the fujita scale rank tornadoes
666jewkid 2 years ago
Well, I'm telling you that an F6 would be impossible. Even Dr. Fujita himself thought it was impossible.
roguegirl29 2 years ago
when that tornado hit Oklahoma in 1999. there were alot of people sayin it came close to an f6 because of how much it destroyed and how fast its winds were. I know there is no such thing as an f6. I was bored and raised in NE where tornadoes are a regular. but now i live in AZ
666jewkid 2 years ago
Th thing is the scale is base don damage, not wind speed, F5 damage leaves no room for a higher category. The theoretical scale goes up to F12, the operational scale only goes up to F5.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale only goes up to EF% as well.
dragonridley 2 years ago
No, that one was an F5.

"Two B-1 bombers loaded with nuclear warheads"?! Does our military really just leave these planes sitting around above ground with those things loaded up?!
GeetarAdam 2 years ago
Yes they do- basically as a readiness thing. I doubt it's done as much anymore.
Josh3B 2 years ago
Can you imagine what would've happened if the tornado actually destroyed those B-1 bombers with all those nuclear weapons at McConnell Airforce Base? KABOOOM!!!!! The whole city probably would've been leveled, right?
Dac719 2 years ago
Fortunately nukes can't be set off that way, to cause an actual nuclear explosion they have to be set off in a very deliberate and complicated way.
HOWEVER that being said I don't think having them smashed to hell and their radioactive material scattered around is too healthy either! Thank god they missed!
joesmoe71 2 years ago
How fast is F-12 (Mach II)? And, was there ever in history of a tornado with that kind of wind speed...ever?
Dac719 2 years ago
Mach II is twice the speed of sound, so it would be approx. 1,500 mph. The fasted wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 318 mph. I'm sure there have been more powerful twisters that have gone undocumented, but nothing near a F-12. There might be some wind phenomena on Jupiter that attain that velocity, but not on this planet.
