The tornado pulls a very well constructed house off its foundation and throws it. I have read the survey and it shows several houses that were completely obliterated.
@CALLOFDUTYisBAD01 uh ur fucking retarded, f5 isnt determined by how big it is but by how fast the winds are moving, go look up ur faqs before u speak fucking retarded cod player
i watch this video lots thinking im lucky to have survived this tornado and people that make fun of this video think it was nothing well it was some it devestated the WHOLE TOWN OF ELIE!!! it took two months to clean up and at least half a yesr to rebuild are house!!
the house that goes flying behind that grain mill was are neighbours house we lived two houses away from them and that van was another neighbours and even though it might of not looked like an f-5 it was! tornados are rated on the damage they do it did serious damage. when we came out of are house it was pretty much gone so was everyone else's house are house was literaly GONE!so for all of you who think it was an f-1 tornado it wasn't, you weren't in Elie so you dont know what is was like ido
@bunt1691 dude, it is perfectly OK to be wrong about the scale because it does not follow logically with any scale most know. I know it makes you feel smart to know this detail but dont insult people who dont know. teach them, thats all. like you were taught.
Wow I want to know what it feels like to be those cars passing right by it looking out the window and right next to my car WTF holy fuck it's a fucking tornado O_O
Wow people, this WAS an EF5. Experts concluded that, not people like you. I'm pretty sure when they asses the damage from a tornado they use trained meteorologist not some dude off the street who thinks he knows something about tornadoes.
I love the vehicles that drive towards these things. They don't give a shit. They got places to go. I think they'd drive through the thing if it was on the road.
Gah, I was just watching a diff. video of this same tornado (The one with the really chill, funny dudes) and people commenting on that video were doing the same 'LOL THATS NOT AN F5 ITS AN F1 AT MOST' thing. I think I just figured out why people are so clueless about the Fujita scale. The movie 'twister' made it seem like the Fujita scale was about 'size'...so most of the people saying "NOT F5 LOL" are basing all their tornado knowledge on a lame and inaccurate movie.
wow wtf is up with these drivers? Its not very far away, i guess they like being face to face with death for no fucking reason?? Turn around you morons!
doesnt even seem real, everyone is going about there day as if nothing is happening. LOL, people porbably passing by saying " ooooo look at the pretty tornado"
Hell yes, not all F5s are mile wide monsters. Some are itty bitty monsters that you'll look at and think "oh, look a little bittle tornado!" right before it literally sucks the air out of your lungs and throws you 1000 feet across the landscape.
Seriously, only F5s can do the sort of things you see starting around 6:20 in this video. This thing might be pretty small, but it packs one HELL of a wallop.
WTF?? There's a tornado on the ground & those morons are driving right past it! Note to morons:when there is a tornado on the ground that close to the road, you GET OUT OF THE CAR & INTO THE NEAREST DITCH OR SOMETHING!!! DUH!!!
@Lizfan2 Seriously dude. Or better yet, given the flat terrain that thing could probably be seen for miles, why the heck wouldn't you just pull over to the side as soon as you saw it a ways off and wait for it to dissipate?? I have a feeling people think only the big wedge tornadoes can be dangerous...
i dont want to go through another one. its almost april and im so scared for this summer. on june 21 2010 at 9:15 pm a tornado hit my house well my town and umm... we were in south carolina and we live in WISCONSIN!!! i hate twisters. lucily it was only an F3 and on one was killed thank God for no deaths! unfortuantly some houses didnt survive. mine wasnt the worst damage but lets say VRY BAD!!! i miss our 1991 black firebird trans am!!! i will give the hole story but i dont have enough room!
@dragonridley yea i just rememberd how the tornadoes are based on the intensity of how much they consume. i forgot to put that in my comment lol thnx for reminding me. plus i just got done watching Twister so that kinda through me off there xP
Tornado intensity is rated on the fujita scale which takes into account the number of comments made on youtube about the actual intensity and factors in the number of people who tell other people they dont know what they are talking about. Its a very complicated system that as a result of the constant influx of youtube comments makes it nearly impossible to get an actual intensity rating.
Fortunately nobody was in the house that was worst hit at the time. There were a few minor injuries in other houses where there was F4 damage, but that's about it.
Fujita scale shows wind speed in it, tornado path length and the width of the tornado path, it causes the damage, but still i guess you are one of those Canadians who can't rate their own twisters...
Big, small, doesn't matter, they are bigger than you and will turn you inside out if you are stupid enough to get too close to one. They are definitely cool to watch, but not for the faint of heart.
OOPS....I meant the two gals standing there at 1:04....not 7:53. And maybe that guy riding up on the bicycle is her "current" personal tornado warning system. Not for long!!
And just for the record....at 7:53....those two gals standing there in the long dresses....they both are built quite nicely. The one on the right in particular...she's built like the proverbial "brick house"...which, most of you probably don't know...is one hell of a high compliment about a woman who is built strong, athletic and very well put together. I think I would like to be her personal tornado warning person. I'll crawl thru her bedroom window at nite to alert her of any rotating storms.
Nope, I've been chasing as long as he's been alive. The other Joel and I have traded emails about Reed recently, though. I'm one of the few guys around, or let's put it this way....one of the few chasers around that will defend Reed and how he goes about his business. Reed actually thanked me last year via email regarding that.
@dragonridley Yeah, that seems like a good analogy. But in the "world" of chasers, and by no means do I claim to know all of 'em or how they all think...but in a nutshell...Reed has opened the chasing experience "gates" wide open...for all to see. And what they see is problematic, in that Reed....foolishly imo...will do stuff like let what he perceives as weaker tornadoes hit his vehicle. So now, Joe Blow high school soph with a new driver's license in the midwest tries that too. Bad mojo.
@dragonridley I don't know about the EF4 wedge hitting him. I think that would be impossible to survive. You know, just watching a F-2 close up....people have no idea just how insanely powerful those are. Tornadoes are big, dude. Even if they're skinny, up close....they'll tall. This "thing" hanging from the sky to the ground...they're huge. Watching these vids...they just can't convey the size thing. Tornadoes are big entities of nature. You stand near one, you will suddenly feel small.
@naderchaser (2 OF 2). Back "in the day" guys like me had the entire storms basically to ourselves. NOBODY was chasing. You could just park on a hill and watch your tornadic cell cruise by leisurely, then drive a bit more and park for awhile, shooting as many photos as you wanted and just watch God's Beautiful Opera in the sky unfold...just for you. Now...every Tom, Dick and Harry hanglider, bunjee jumper and thrill seeker is out there too, being stupid, clogging roads, drinking beer, etc.
@dragonridley Whaaat? Nahh, don't say that. You're the type of guy who SHOULD be chasing. Look, you're obviously serious about this stuff. It's in your blood. Like the rest of us "real deal" chasers, you're hooked on it already, but you probably don't know why. You've probably always been this way. See...I know how it is...we're all that way. It goes down deep. Plus, you're always floating in and out of these tornado vids on u-tube. What you NEED to do is join StormTrack. Google 'em then join.
@dragonridley i want to chase tornados too when im older and get into colledge. ive watched stormchasers for about 6 or 7 seasons and it kinda inspired me.
I would like to commend the person who shot this video. Sure, there is some camera movement....it isn't a professional cameraman taking this footage, it's your local townspeople....so you who are bashing the camera work...shut up, please. Tornadoes are hard to shoot....I've been chasing the USA midwest one month each yr. for 25 yrs. This was one powerful wicked monster....ready to pitch out debris at them as it moved closer. But they kept shooting. Great work, guys. Question: is there any more?
That vortex is incredibly powerful from 3:25 on. I believe it's at least an EF-3 due to the sheer ability to completely tear apart a massive structure like that grain silo...quite impressive, nonetheless.
@xChamaZx Fujita Scale is damage, not size, or did you miss the other 25 or so odd posts that mentioned that? Or maybe you think us Canadians can't rate our own twisters or something?
@pspboy7 Fujita scale shows wind speed in it, tornado path length and the width of the tornado path, it causes the damage, but still i guess you are one of those Canadians who can't rate their own twisters...
I think I know what you are referring to in that The Fujita-Pearson scale accounts for damage, path width, and path length. But this actually involves three separate numbers: the Fujita rating based on damage and two Pearson numbers based on path length and path width though, for some reason these Pearson numbers are rarely used.
So based on the data for damage, path length, and path width the full rating of this tornado would be F5,2,3.
This must be the calmest bunch of people I've ever seen during a tornado. Just goes to show that Americans overreact to things, the Canadians keep their cool.
@naderchaser I'm a troll? I had to go through a few pages worth of comments before I found what I originally wrote. You're the troll buddy. Look at the amount of comments you just wrote on YT. For anyone who doesn't think Americans overreact to shit are just plain brain dead. I can't believe how many of them think it was an act of God. Pfffffthahahahaha!
@naderchaser Why would I be jealous of a Country that invades other Countries and kills thousands and thousands of innocents? You can stop trolling me now. BTW most of us up here in Canada don't live in Igloos.
@7477238 You're jealous because if and when your country get attacked you folks will beg the United States military to save your butts. And we'll do it.
6:54... yeh lets sit there and watch that tornado throw a piece of building at me...-.- tornados are probably one of the most fascinating things in life to me.. but id NEVER get THAT close to one.. and im talking about the stupid blue car

@dragonridley Whaaat? Nahh, don't say that. You're the type of guy who SHOULD be chasing. Look, you're obviously serious about this stuff. It's in your blood. Like the rest of us "real deal" chasers, you're hooked on it already, but you probably don't know why. You've probably always been this way. See...I know how it is...we're all that way. It goes down deep. Plus, you're always floating in and out of these tornado vids on u-tube. What you NEED to do is join StormTrack. Google 'em then join.

I would like to commend the person who shot this video. Sure, there is some camera movement....it isn't a professional cameraman taking this footage, it's your local townspeople....so you who are bashing the camera work...shut up, please. Tornadoes are hard to shoot....I've been chasing the USA midwest one month each yr. for 25 yrs. This was one powerful wicked monster....ready to pitch out debris at them as it moved closer. But they kept shooting. Great work, guys. Question: is there any more?

That vortex is incredibly powerful from 3:25 on. I believe it's at least an EF-3 due to the sheer ability to completely tear apart a massive structure like that grain silo...quite impressive, nonetheless.

I have seen a map of this tornado's track.
The damage at that mill was rated a F1-F2. It was around 6:25 that it hit F5 strength.

if that was an F5, that truck that passes by would of been thrown in the air.

It only reach F5 intensity briefly (around 6:25 ). Through most of the video it was at F1 to F2 intensity.

Every tornado video theirs a few cars driving by like they think its nothing dangerous just turn on the wipers it will be fine.

its not f5 its f1 maybe f2, but still amazing

@xChamaZx
This was indeed an F5. Tornadoes are rated by damage, not size.
F5 damage can be seen at 6:25 when the tornado throws a house.
dragonridley 1 year ago
@xChamaZx Fujita Scale is damage, not size, or did you miss the other 25 or so odd posts that mentioned that? Or maybe you think us Canadians can't rate our own twisters or something?
pspboy7 1 year ago
@pspboy7 Fujita scale shows wind speed in it, tornado path length and the width of the tornado path, it causes the damage, but still i guess you are one of those Canadians who can't rate their own twisters...

@xChamaZx
I think I know what you are referring to in that The Fujita-Pearson scale accounts for damage, path width, and path length. But this actually involves three separate numbers: the Fujita rating based on damage and two Pearson numbers based on path length and path width though, for some reason these Pearson numbers are rarely used.
So based on the data for damage, path length, and path width the full rating of this tornado would be F5,2,3.

This must be the calmest bunch of people I've ever seen during a tornado. Just goes to show that Americans overreact to things, the Canadians keep their cool.

@7477238 That's really an idiotic statement, 7477238....isn't it? You should be ashamed. Trying to impersonate a "troll", huh?
naderchaser 1 year ago
@naderchaser I'm a troll? I had to go through a few pages worth of comments before I found what I originally wrote. You're the troll buddy. Look at the amount of comments you just wrote on YT. For anyone who doesn't think Americans overreact to shit are just plain brain dead. I can't believe how many of them think it was an act of God. Pfffffthahahahaha!
7477238 1 year ago
@7477238 Obviously, you're jealous that you're not American. It's plain as day.
naderchaser 1 year ago
@naderchaser Why would I be jealous of a Country that invades other Countries and kills thousands and thousands of innocents? You can stop trolling me now. BTW most of us up here in Canada don't live in Igloos.
7477238 1 year ago
@7477238 You're jealous because if and when your country get attacked you folks will beg the United States military to save your butts. And we'll do it.

Indeed it was an F5. Tornadoes are rated by damage, not size.
At 6:25 the tornado throws an entire house. That is F5 damage.
