  • I'm looking for Channel 4s -May3 99- Tornado DVD  possibly entitled 'Mays Fury'.. ..or something similar to that title, ... if anyone knows where to get one.... thanks..

  • If I live to 100, I'll never forget this one. We were east of hwy16 just approaching the the Oakville overpass with my Aunt Polly when out of no where we were heard the loudest noise I'd ever heard. The next thing I knew we were being pulled out of the car by the intense winds. As Aunt Polly flew out the window I grabbed her leg and up into the beast we went. As we flew through the air I bumped into a flower pot and what looked like a 56 Chevy. We landed on the cow and lived to tell about it

  • Exceptionally good footage for 1991. It's pretty shameful that just about every person in the country is armed with a personal video camera these days, and more often than not the best footage we can get of major tornadoes like this one is about 15 seconds of good camerawork interspersed in five minutes of bad zooming, dashboard shots, nauseating shaking, and hysterical screaming.

  • this reminds me of the f5 tornado may 3rd 1999

  • This storm reminds me a lot of the May 3rd tornado which I saw first hand.. I wonder what the wind speeds were in this storm?...

  • @watcherman65 Portable doppler recorded a gust at 301mph in the Moore tornado. This particular tornado (04/26/91) has debarked trees and de-paved roads. Was officially given F4 rating, was obviously a rare and mean monster. Props to the crew who gave us this video.

  • looks scary.

  • I know there's no such thing, but I wonder what an EF8 would look like?

  • That thing doesnt look very friendly at all. I remember a particularly nasty storm in 1991 here in northeast kansas, was a little kid, but it was my frist tornado warning and at night, i'll never forget it

  • MONDO Awesomeness!

  • i agree with you Chiotvi79 exactly.  it boggles the mind

  • that rotation is obscene even for an F5. It spins like it was a few hundred yards wide, but it is probably 1 mile wide. creepy

  • @Chiofvi79 Well, it's not only the rotational motion that you mention....but what gives this tornado away as to it's intensity is the "vertical" motion from the ground upwards within the debris field. All tornadoes rotate, obviously, but watch for the upward motions to get additional clues about their intensity.

  • I remember when my bro and i were walkin down the street and he started to see a tornado form. So he turns to inform me and im already half way down the street runnin

  • These tornado's cause so much damage. They should be sued for compensation.

  • Wish I could get something like this in MN...

  • @IAmHurricaneStorm You DO get them up there in Minnesota....what are you talking about?

  • wow that is cool, I would floor that car outta there

  • The Andover Tornado was ridiculous too...

  • Howard Bluesteins team I believe.. This was a MAJOR "High Risk" day..followed this for 5 days before it happened..FP3s were mentioning this 3-4 days before it happened.

  • F5 WInds What I can Find On The Old Fujita Scale is (261-318MPH)

    ~~EF0 65-85MPH~~ ~~EF1 86-110Mph~~ EF2 111-135Mph ~~

    ~ EF3 136-165Mph~~ EF4 166-200Mph~~ ***EF5 ~ 200> Mph***

  • It's amazing that something so deadly can be so beautiful and fascinating at the same time.

  • what a monster if youre not below ground youre dead

  • it is to small to be an f-5 or an f-4 it has to b atleast f-2 or an f3 but 3 will re loacate your house

  • @nrhoden11 it doesnt have to be huge to be an f4 or 5

  • @nrhoden11 exactly what @KingofTownz said. The intensity of a storm is not measured by width, its measured by wind speed. It can appear small in size, but the winds can measure F4-F5 speeds. Common misconception.

  • @estinence the laws of physics dictates that a smaller tornado should have higher wind speeds than a larger tornado, because of angular momentum.

  • 0:22 the car that drove past was fast he is like like saying "GET TO THE CHOPPA"

  • lets do it

    ha

    thats what she said

  • 0:23 truck hauling ass like "fuck this I'm leaving"

  • Crazy!

  • Wow! This tornado is huge!

  • Ok i dont wanna sound like a whus, but if i saw that thing behind me i would friggin LEG IT.

  • DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY

  • @xTheIDudex Please....somebody clue me in....where in the hell did this "Damn nature....you scary" come from? Was it a sitcom or something? God...I see in every other post in these tornado videos.

  • @WickedTornado family guy search "damn nature you scary" family guy and you will probally find it

  • @emogirlhateful Thanks for the head's up , Emogirl. So it came from Family Guy, huh? Figures.....so many idiots in this country watch stupid shit like that, and just hang on every word. That and sitcoms. Brain dead people. It's sooo annoying, each time there is a new tornado video, some fool who think's he's being unique and funny writes: Damn nature...you scary. Mindless robots.

  • @WickedTornado i kinda agree with that

  • if this tornado hit a populated area yeah this tornado would have been another official F-5 thank god it stayed on the plains

  • Ok, so anyone should think this was an F5, but it really was an F4

    The 1991 F5 was the Andover/McConell tornado in Kansas

    The Fijuta scale measures the damage by a tornado, not the wind speed.

    If it hit a big town or city like the Andover/McConell tornado did, it would've rated F5 easily.

  • in the search machine i just typed: super omg extrem and i get a tornado...... AWSOME

  • woooowwwww!

  • The OU team measured winds of F5 intensity during this video. I intercepted the tornado as it crosssed I-35 and destroyed a farm house there. That damage was rated F4. The tornado became more intense east of the Interstate. Virtually all tornadoes on this outbreak day reached maturity east of the I-35 corridor as storms entered deeper surface moisture. - Martin Lisius

  • @StormStock IS it even possible that an F6 class tornado could ever form? and if it was possible what would the destruction outcome look like? city destroying?

  • @clovelywindheaven Possibly bomb shelter destroying.

  • @StormStock Hey Martin, this is chaser Joel Ewing out in Arizona. What was that metallic "twang / clang" that we heard within the first minute or so of this vid? My guess was it was some debris from the home....or was it hail that hit some of the equipment? Thanks....

  • According to the NOAA records I've found this was officially an F4, and that the only official F5 in 1991 was the Andover tornado.

    Though just looking at the rotation on that I'd think it probably would have been rated F5 had it hit a more populated area.

  • This was just one of several violent-class tornadoes that occured on April 26, 1991 in OK, KS and NE. Several are in the StormStock library.
