Moore - OKC F5 Tornado - Part 2

[heyginny]

What a monster!!

[bigdrawers641]

guys, dont know if anybody was aware, but during this tornado, the reality tv show"Paramedics was filming an epidsodea nd they caught some awesome and tragic footage that should be seen

[RagingMoon1987]

@bigdrawers641 I vaguely remember that, yes. I watched part of it and then (oddly enough) the weather got bad and knocked out our satellite!  But I do remember that.

[treybolinger]

@xzmn61 - Dr. Josh Wurman, U of OK. They were recorded by the DOW's...and Dr. Wurman isn't a scientist who just guesses. He's one of the best meteorologists out there, that he got the candidacy for the PhD. Come on- that has to be something. @ 3:15ish, you hear him say, "2.2km...2km." Over the radio, that being the width of circulation. ~2.75 miles.

[xzmn61]

@treybolinger

Yes, I know that. I was responding to Fr33d0m4a11 (who was responding to Ramrod571's "Most powerful tornado on record" comment to this video) who claimed "Not anymore the twin F5,s that just went through down south recently were recorded with higher wind velocities. They are now rated the most powerful to date"

I was asking Fr33d0m4a11 what those wind speeds were recorded at. I assume he was speaking of the Alabama tornado (Cont.)..

[xzmn61]

NWpowerhouse then responded to me and I assumed he was speaking of the Alabama tornado, and that's when I said "I can't find a source to those (Alabama) Doppler readings".

This OKC tornado missed my house by about 4 miles.

[stevecato]

I now live in Cherokee NC because of this, all those people are in my thoughts in all the states effected by the other days storm. we lived on sw 15th by I-35, the biggest, baddest thing I've ever seen.....

[Ramrod571]

Most powerful tornado on record



[Fr33d0m4a11]

@Ramrod571 Not anymore the twin F5,s that just went through down south recently were recorded with higher wind velocities. They are now rated the most powerful to date.

[xzmn61]

@Fr33d0m4a11

What were those wind speeds recorded at?

[NWpowerhouse85]

@xzmn61 The dopplar readings put it at ABOUT 320mph.

[xzmn61]

@NWpowerhouse85

I can't find a source to those Doppler readings.

[casualtiespunk777]

@RidinChevySolo PLEASE tell me that you meant HOUSES not HORSES....

[casualtiespunk777]

@PoisonxXxMe yeah it is a horse.

[PoisonxXxMe]

I remember this. I was just 6 when it happened. That day was incredible. Btw is that a horse at 6:45?

[XxseanlfcfanxX]

5:48 to 6:05 --> brave person to be out with that tornado so close. I'd shit my pants if it was twice as far away. unbelievable stuff there.

[BvilleStormChaser]

This is the only tornado to send chills down my spine, and I was 5 when this happened

[yoshino225]

thats just incredible. that thing was so god damn fucking huge

[julie1995able]

3:55 - 4 : 10 the people in the house must be so happy when they found out that there house were the only one left

[RockStunner007]

Too much curiosity can get you killed. We always try to see tornadoes from up close and personal. We never know when to call it quits or to learn. This is no dust devils lmao if ur even 60 feet away from a tornado it can still suck you in. There is winds besides the eyewall ppl. There is invisible winds that can pick up a car no matter how far it is

[nenblom]

It's a gut wrenching experience just to watch this video. I can't imagine what it must have been like for people on the ground there in Oklahoma on that day. You storm chasers, meteorologists and emergency workers ROCK! You guys save a LOT of lives by doing what you do!

[Zoomer30]

You know it's nutso when the sat tornadoes are doing F3 damage. The main tornado (at least on the old F scale) came close to an f6

[999deauville999]

wow........ this might be the best tornado footage i've ever seen; it is incredible. by the way, this was Reed Timmons or Timmothy or that guy that chases tornados first tornado he ever saw. it almost killed him, you can see footage from him here on youtuube and it's good but not as good as this. this is amazing!!!!!!!! i couldn't believe how fast it moved. might have been like about 460 km/h winds or faster.--------

[justintime2989]

@999deauville999 that person would be reed timmer and id have to say yes this is basically the best footage of the tornado added up together

[Soulstealer354]

Have heard about the one that hit Greensburg, Kansas. That one was an EF3 tornado and it still wiped out most of that town. The only why it did was because it was so big. Now imagine a tornado with power of the May 3, 1999 tornado(strongest ever recorded) with the size of the Greensburg tornado(the biggest) with 2x's the track length along with it being rain wrapped hitting Oklahoma and taking an identical path as the May 3rd tornado. It will kill many more people.

[justintime2989]

@Soulstealer354 actually greensburg was EF5 and that day on may 3rd there was 2.0 mile wide tornado that was rated F4 and if put that tornado for may 3rd instead the destruction would been a bit weaker but much more damage and proubly more deaths and injuries. ill see if i can look up name of tornado again

[MegaBigboi33]

At 1:44 there is a horse just watchin, I guess not much else it can do.

[BrianFalconsFan29]

3:10 thats the guy from from storm chasers

[OklahomaBabyG]

Gary England is an amazing guy! That was a scary day!

[cryhwks]

very chilling stuff..

[dungeono]

i hope a tornado like this doesnt happen this spring in fact i hope no tornadoes happen this spring

[123Rogueleader]

Man, this by far is the best footage of a tornado I have ever seen. That's a monster man.

[elite542]

I would not like to live in Oklahoma, not offense it seems nice other then the tornadoes . But ....fuck that. Lol Im happy I live up north in my snowy country

[MrLandedra]

By the way, I seen a 4x4 board penetrated through an engine block from a tractor. From this very tornado

[MrLandedra]

Listen, I was in the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the May 3rd, I can tell you right now, that the destruction was not much different between those two. I am a Meteorologist myself as well, and I absolutely love this video. Recently my town was hit by three tornadoes in the same week, and this town hasn't been hit by one in over 32 years. You can't put it in perspective how powerful these beautiful disasters are, until you see it from a first person point of view. Everytime, I am truly astonished.

[cbehr91]

I have linked in the video description an Amazon.com link to purchase a copy of the video this was captured from.

[MultiBigace]

Curse you tornado!Curse youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[cbehr91]

@ ILovestorms, I accidentally removed your comment. Here's what I was going to say:

1999 was much, much worse I think. Both events took place over three days, but May of '99 had 140 tornadoes, whereas May of '10 had a mere (in context) 39.

And in the outbreak this year there was not a major EF-5 tornado like there was in '99 (and probably if the Mulhall tornado hit a populated area it would have been rated F5 too).

However Moore, Oklahoma was hit by its third major tornado in 11 years.

[cbehr91]

[rnbsteenstar]

At 2:20, Oh my god look at the rotation on the sucker!

[TheChingy1]

jeeeezz!!!!! thats alot of tornados in one day!!!! 76!

[briarr2011]

i remember this day. i was 7 and it was the scariest day of my life. it was tornado after tornado. Gary England is amazing.

[briarr2011]

i remember this day. i was 7 and it was the scariest day of my life. it was tornado after tornado.

[ferrarimike23]

: )-8-z

[jacobkniffen]

this bad boy hit about 2 miles away from my house. my moms an elementary school teacher and it wiped out her school. literally there was not one wall left standing, yet her half empty can of coke and sunglasses that she left on her desk were still sitting there untouched. now try and tell me how that happens

[filliesfosho]

I have about a 30 minute video of this day. From beginning to aftermath, I don't know how to get it on here though, since its from a VCR... :(

[cbehr91]

@filliesfosho This is from a VHS tape.

[ILovestorms]

@cbehr91 I have this exact same VHS tape.

[cbehr91]

@ILovestorms Cool. The DVD release of this program is rarer though. They do exist, and I saw it when I bought this way back in 2000 (or maybe even 1999), but I didn't have a DVD player yet.

[filliesfosho]

@filliesfosho Thats what I meant, (:

[cbehr91]

@filliesfosho Part 1 - There are a couple ways to get footage off a VHS tape onto YouTube. You could either A) get some sort of video capture device. There are countless of them out there and a salesdroid at your local Best Buy or computer store could probably steer you in the right direction, or B) get a Digital8 or Mini DV camcorder that has a feature called "analog-to-digital passthrough. It can stream the footage through the camcorder's FireWire cable to your computer.

[treybolinger]

@cbehr91 and @filliesfosho - Good call cbehr91 on the technical stuff. Filliesfosho, if you have this on VHS and want it digitized, post it to me, I'll convert it, and post it back to you with the original copy and the "newer," copy. I can do some things in an editor to make it look a little better, too.

[cbehr91]

@filliesfosho Part 2 - or C) transfer the tape to a DVD using a DVD Recorder (also widely available and as cheap as $30 at Big Lots), copy the files to your computer and condense them for YouTube.

[ILovestorms]

@cbehr91 That's how I get my videos on here. I've had my account on here since May 2007, but never knew how they got on here until Christmas Day of that year.

[nenblom]

It is a gut-wrenching experience to watch this video. I can't imagine what it must have been like to actually experience this. Thank God for those tornado chasers, scientists and meteorologists!

[airplaneseatkatie]

@nenblom It was insane, but it's an amazing experience to be able to sit here & watch it all again. But you still do get that sick to your stomach, "I'm gonna throw up" feeling haha.

[RidinChevySolo]

so I watched both parts of this series.. and i gotta say yep.. i remember that tornado like it was yesterday.. i'm actually from bridge creek.. tornadoes do odd things... like it sucked off my back padio, but left my charcoal grille w/ lit charcoal in it... ironic eh?

i remember coming outta the Cellar and looking for my dogs, seeing horses with 2x4's stuck through them, a dully truck wrapped around the top of a light pole.. that day was nothing short of the finger of god.

[tnizzle53]

@RidinChevySolo Haha, why did you have lit charcoal in the middle of a tornado?!?!?!?

I live in Norman, but I was way too young to remember it. I'm only 15... All I remember about Oklahoma tornadoes was when the Radio Tower ranch got hit hard back in 98 or maybe 99.... That might have been May-day, but I dunno.

[RidinChevySolo]

@tnizzle53 well what happened was that when the storm initially started it was supposed to miss BC.. so we lit the grille and got the coals going... well we were standing outside and realized that huge wall cloud over a mile wide on the ground was actually a tornado.. so my family and i all bailed out to the cellar.... turned on the radio and listened for an update.. came out after the storm had passed... it was sunny.. and really clear... its like earth's way of cleansing itself

[lashabi]

As you watch this video, it is moving over my home and destroying it. My mom, sister, and I survived in our closet. Praise God. I was 12 years old and I can still remember every detail.

[ldksparda]

At 1:47 it looked just like the one that hit Yazoo Mississippi On the 24th of this year.

[SalienMovies]

I just can't wait until humanity is level 1 in this scale.

scale 1 = controlling weather

scale 2 = running on the sun, ran out of planet's resources

scale 3 = running on many stars, sun ran out of time.

We are level 0.

[truesincerity757]

I am in Awe with Gods Awesome Power...who are we compared to Him!

[LadyAthosRay]

I live in Texas and remember the tornado outbreak that covered Oklahoma in 1999. I e-mailed back and forth with someone from Sweetwater before that outbreak and unfortunately never heard from her again after that night. I hope she's okay. :(

[jdeluxtornadochaser]

Where did you find that video? Or did you recorded it yourself and then you uploaded it to YouTube?

[cbehr91]

@jdeluxtornadochaser This is from the home video release of a TLC show from 2000.

[cbehr91]

@jdeluxtornadochaser I bought somewhere at Tower City Mall in Cleveland in either late 1999 or early 2000. I don't remember which store though. And it premiered on TLC on April 14, 2000 along with three other tornado shows. They were shown periodically until 2004 or so. They may pop up on occasion on the Science Channel but I wouldn't know because I don't get it!

[RisenDurial321]

so thts how josh is such an expert driver of the DOW on Storm Chasers =P

[24jeffgordan88JRfan]

3:10 IT'S JOSH WURMAN!!!!!!

[81pluto]

part 3?

[cbehr91]

No, the video ends at the end of this part.

[rtw3lions]

Shut up mikeferrari you mug your just a keyboard warrior, prick

[Mikeferrari69]

Rtw

Shut up u British faggot with ur big nose and ugly women

[rtw3lions]

People really need to lighten up in this world American, yanks all the same to me. As I am from England and not to up on the deep south area, but is that where you play banjos and sleep with your own families lol ( just kidding).

[cbehr91]

Oh, stereotypes.

[evilwatermelon]

sure a sterotypical redneck may do that but lets not forget josef fritzl of austria. and im sure with research we can find incestuous relationships in every corner of the globe.

[matgrinersc]

...You talk like yoda..

g'day bloke

[rtw3lions]

Trouble with you yanks is you build your houses out of sticks

[aquia80]

I've seen solid concrete buildings turned into rubble. It doesn't matter what you build your house out of. A F5 will obliterate just about everything in its path. The dome houses are really expensive. By the way, not all Americans are yanks. As a person with deep southern roots, that is really insulting. Is spelling out the word "Americans" too difficult for you?

[cbehr91]

I'm not trying to "fuel the fire," so to speak, but "Yanks" is a term in British English (and maybe Australian English, too) to generalize all Americans, while "Yank" or "Yankee" in American English would only be somebody from the North.

Please take no offense to what that person said.

[ILovestorms]

@aquia80 You said, "Just about". They still have a way of demolishing one house and leaving the house next to it undamaged.

[wattman72]

@aquia80 "By the way, not all Americans are yanks. As a person with deep southern roots, that is really insulting."... As a person with Northern roots we certainly don't want any southerner called a yank. That is really insulting to us yanks. Now go play your banjo with your sister on your broken down pick-up truck that is painted like the general lee. Have a nice day.

[Soonerbrookie]

@aquia80 I agree, but chill. I was born in Oklahoma, and have lived here all my life, but they were calling us "Yanks" long before the war. They don't mean "Yanks" in the same sense we do.

[MountDoomPictures]

Oh, I was going to say the same for the U.K

[Skibeats96]

@rtw3lions Trouble with you brits is that you crush each other and die in soccer riots.

[BMF395]

A few comments.

5:50 = beast mode.

That horse is trying to figure out wtf is going on.

The end looks like a nuke hit.

[18rianne]

THAT'S ONE BIG TORNADO!!!! i hope none of yaw guys wernt in tht!

[diggyba]

God... please dont let this ever happen again. please

[halchrallen]

lived through this i was vistin my sister so devastin and hurt aint been back since

[Bullzeye95]

1:51 -- Horse: O_O

[MRR9909]

WOW!!!! that tornado is AWSOME!!!!!

[MRR9909]

And Big

[roundhouser]

That horse in the field was like Uhh???????

[Firemedic712]

I'll remember this day until the day I die.

[SpottedleafCCRVMK]

Through ALL of this video, I was screaming "HOLY- GO! RUN!! RUN AWAY! THAT TORNADO - GOOOOOO!!!! (Especially at 2:28. ESPECIALLY.)

[ncatina]

Look at all those power flashes, starting from 2:17!

[soonergaret]

Everything an Oklahoman needs to know to survive in these videos......you got hook echoes, mezo cyclones, val castor, multiple vortex's, rear flank down drafts, rear flank down drafts! No one knows what the hell this all means but when Gary England and Val Castor start talking this nonsense you know it's serious!

My indoor soccer team calls ourselves the hook echoes! LOL

[truestar558]

I love tornadoes....there the most powerful storms for sure

[txbadgirl1]

I have seen this video several times, but it never seems to stop amazing me on the power of these storms....

[steven85buster]

i second that

[Sooner121]

My house was 2 miles from this tornado and it was freaky to watch it

[Sooner121]

I lived in moore

[dawg3277]

hey dragon , try tellin that guy professorigor that shit. he swore there was never such a thing , anyways show him the paperwork on that so i can kick him in the nuts with it....

[ProfessorIgor]

you can try.... but you'll make a fool of yourself to those of us in the actual field of meteorology. The only F6 to ever occur, did so in theory. There hase never been, nor will there EVER be an F6 tornado. It's THAT simple. Damage can NOT exceed F5 damage, there is nothing left TO damage beyond F5.. why in the fuck can't you understand this ?? it wouldn't matter if the tornaod was 10 miles wide with 500mph winds.. it's an F5 ! jeez !!

[dawg3277]

if that was meant for me , i was saying that according to the original fujita scale there was such thing as an F6 catagory on the scale , i didn't say one happened..

in theory from the first scale it was on it was possible in theory , but it was ruled out because you can't damage past F5. there is nothing more to damage i know that part. But in theory it was put on the scale at first...

[ProfessorIgor]

it was meant for you and everyone else that always seem to want to label a monster tornado as this one an "F6". I don't want ot be a dick about it, but I am defending the science of meteorology and storm reasearch. This tornado was beyond amazing, incredible phenomena DID occur, just as the description of an EF5 tornado says. it was not inconceivable because it actually happened ! This is just a small part of what meteorology really is all about though.

[dragonridley]

Just one question about this theoretical "F6" (I fully understand your point and have tried to convince several of it myself). Which one was it? Was it this one or the Xenia tornado?

[TheEliminator1992]

3:10 is that Josh Wurman?

[cbehr91]

Yes, it is. You have to remember this was 10 years ago, and that people can age quite a bit in that amount of time.

[TheEliminator1992]

LOL yeah! same rules apply to me. i just didn't recognize him.

[numununahvokne]

shit id hopped on that horse and giddy uped outta there at 1:44

[Alorsous]

7:38 - 8:02, incredible, this thing fuking ripped off concrete from roads, leveled the ground, looked like a damn atomic bomb went off, imagine how exciting and dangerious this was to the people chasing it

[datzfast]

it removed roadbeds.

[CuteTaylorRox]

if i lived in Oklahoma i would just live in my cellar but i am so lucky that i live in calgary alberta

[datzfast]

oklahoma has the most advance weather radars in the world. Most research and development is here. with out the radars id be scared shitless.

[mryjn420090]

FAKE

[mythicman4545]

this is real

[habbadou]

How can people live in Oklahoma?

[cbehr91]

You do realize right that Oklahoma weather is boring and nice for about 90% of the year. Stuff like this only happens about 2 months out of the year and Oklahomans know how to deal with it.

[bollock121]

This vicious beast of a tornado could have been an F6 if there was such a rating. Look at the gnarled stripped trees and utterly destroyed landscape at the end like an atomic bomb had been dropped.

[mythicman4545]

yeah this tornado had winds over 320 mph which was the strongest ever recorded

[dragonridley]

That's what an F5 will do. In fact an F4 could do some of that. There is no F6 category.

[audrey29tg]

actually they are thinking of adding an ef6 category due mostly to the 319 mph monster that touched down im ok. it was the strongest tornado ever recorded and the highest wind speed ever recorded on earth.

[dragonridley]

The scale is based on damage, not windspeed. Even then the winds recorded in that tornado were 302 mph at a port of the tornado nearly 100ft off the ground where they would be significantly faster than ground level. As to the Enhanced Scale, the windspeed estimates for an EF5 encompass all winds over 200mph.

[dawg3277]

actually they are not adding an EF6 the damage past EF5 is " inconcievable. Since the scale is based on Damage not windspeed. The EF was enhanced to cover the windspeed of that tornado as well as tornados in the future. Since that storm was the strongest recorded winds they included the that storms wind in the EF5 Catagory

[rudolphna54]

The orginal F scale was based on windspeed alone. Frankly, they should have kept it that way. It was much simpler to say It had a wind speed of 200mph so its an FX.

[dawg3277]

according to the Concieved fujita scale it was based on damage associated with wind speeds , it was theory , they had very little science to base the wind/damage ratio on . sometimes lower winspeeds do the damage of an EF5 , sometimes higher , the windspeeds on the ground was what they were trying to get , they didn't have that info initially.

[ProfessorIgor]

the F scale equated observed damage to make a HIGHLY EDUCATED estimate of the wind speed. Getting the actual ground wind speed INSIDE a tornado is almost impossible even with today's technology.

[tsi3s]

they just need to stretch the EF5 scale whenever the wind speeds get more, and since the climat is changing we will get higher wind speeds, more tornadoes.

hi dawg, we love you <3

[dawg3277]

we ?? lol , hi and if that was directed toward me , thank you much for the acknowledgment ... and send a friend req lol. Oh and something else that crossed muh brain, in theory. What would EF6 damage look like if there were such an animal ? I was thinking about that today , Inconceivable damage leaves a wide range of things unsaid. I mean the okc F5 whiped whole neighborhoods to nothing but dirt ... just a thought .. ne ways laters

[unambitious]

isn't there an F6 in theory? I remember watching a documentary on Tornadoes and it said something to that effect. Not probable, but I im pretty sure the category exists.

[dragonridley]

The sort of is an F6 category but not on the scale that was actually put in to use. The Fujita Scale is based on damage and F5 damage leaves nothing more to destroy. The Enhanced Fujita Scale doe not have an EF6 category in any sense at all.

[BeyondTheTreeline]

I'm no tornado expert (at all), but I just read a book about Fujita that states - "Fujita also plotted his scale from F6 to F12 but deemed the destruction past F5 as inconceivable...Fujita suggested surface winds could not exceed the F5 level, 318 miles per hour, which was his best guess"

[dragonridley]

Destruction beyond F5 damage is impossible. I get this information direct from the NOAA website which is pretty well updated. Fujita's work on the scale was in the late 60s and early 70s.

[cbehr91]

Fujita's original scale that he theorized went from F0-F12 to directly connect the Beaufort scale and the Mach number scale (although the F11 & 12 levels did overlap with Mach 0.9 and 1.0.) NOAA stated that winds higher than the F5 could probably never be quantified (thus they were never used). Wikipedia has a pretty good write-up about it and it has a diagram with the three scales.

[tatertruck124]

There used to be a F6 measurement but that was dropped because the damage from an F6 could not exceed the damage of an F5. Therefor they removed the F6 because the rating system is based on destruction a tornado can do, not its wind speed. However, they do estimate the winds of the tornado based upon the damage seen. So after 318 mph like the F5 had, 319 mph or more could not have done any more damage. They replaced the F-scale with the new EF scale in 2006 or 2007 and go from EF-0 to EF-5.

[dharper26]

I don't know why youtube saw my comment as a reply to you. It was meant for the guy you replied to. This comment crap is all messed up. When are they going to fix it?

[cbehr91]

'Aight.  It's cool.

[dharper26]

This is not an everyday thing in Oklahoma. I have lived on the west side of OKC for 26 years and i have never seen a tornado.

[cbehr91]

I never said that tornadoes occur every day, I said that tornado season in Oklahoma is roughly 2 months out of the year. Throughout the remainder of the year, Oklahoma's weather is boring (from a storm chasing standpoint) and nice. But because there is a higher concentration of tornadoes in Oklahoma than in any other state (or any other part of the world for that matter) they are as used to them as than probably can be.

[UKStormChaser]

That is insane video. I was in my second year at OU studying meteorology. I remember that day well. 10 years on i now work for News 9 as one of their storm tracker.

[mireaux7]

i survived this beast. i was living in apartments adjacent to del city. our complex was spared, less than a 10 minute walk..brick homes were flattened, powerlines were downed, the smell of natural gas permeated the air, a recreational vehicle was turned on its side on the street. the sound of this tornado sounded akin to a large garbage truck mulching trash, it was a constant whirring sound that sounded mechanical. 4 yrs later, okc got hit with a bad hailstorm.

[blakksaint]

we lived in moore, we were out of town, im extremely fortuanate my parents liked to travel :O

[burtonfan2]

was the tornado at 2:19 even from May 3rd?

[cbehr91]

I'm pretty sure it is. I believe I've seen it on The Weather Channel in segments about that tornado.

[PaulG85]

Damn that is so mean and loud. What a vicous mofo if ever there was one. Just listen to it. I've got my headphones on and that bitch is just incredible.

[steven85buster]

i kno thats rite. i heard one in person once. it was a brief one when i was in hurricane katrina. sounds like the world is comin to an end. but that was jus a baby twister i heard. this is a beast rite here

[rainallday]

I think this 8 minutes could be the best tornado video on youtube....It looks and 'feels' like the most powerful tornado ever....they don't make freight trains that sound this intense....there should be 6 stars for this video....

[obijuana]

Concurrence.

[steven85buster]

i feel you one that one. specailly at the end when he was talkin about how it gored the earth and it was like something connected to the ground and sky at the same time.

[steven85buster]

i like what he sez at 7:46..thats the wild thing about tornados.

[Nod563]

Amazing footage! Can i ask though, what the difference is between a white tornado and a black one? It was mentioned in the last footage that i saw but i forgot to ask then.

[CHERMOTLEYCRUEFAN87]

it depends where you are beween the tornado and the sunlight.:)

[Denabobeana]

i didnt know it killed more than 40 people.. :[ wow..

thats so crazy..

i hope we dont get tornados like this again.

its just horrible.

yet, exciting.. idk why.

Weather people must be crazy to fallow those things!

haha

but thats us okies!

[beanocampbell]

I see vid after vid about the Moore outbreak it never gets old to me incredible!!! Kudos to KWTV for great coverage!!!

[bullsbutt]

at 7:52 it looks so spooky.

[jaredwhsbcglobalnet]

Watch at 4:48. The sign goes out as the tornado hits the powerlines. I live in Piedmont Oklahoma which didnt get the hit the worst, or at least not as bad as Moore got hit.

I remember seeing where peoples concrete driveways used to be, and just dirt there.

The tornado was so powerful it sucked concrete out of the ground.
