Video shows tornado destroying house

[kenroy916]

103 people: THAT WAS FUCKIN AWESOME!!! xD

6 people: Oh that poor house..

[DJdoppler1]

Did they died???

[mitch41387]

@GameFreak1000000 tornadoes are more than just wind they actually kill people meaning there dead meaning there's no reset button unlike video games and I know that for a fact still recovering from April 27th of this year the tornado outbreak that hit the south I stay I bham by the way

[stephenjones102]

Tornado? Or nuclear bomb?!?!

[TheKookyShow98]

I really don't care if any humans died... as long as no animals were in that house, I'm alright

[MRxFaBsNiPeRx21]

*some guy in the house*

" o this is a good sandwich :), wait WTF is that noise...

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh holy shit WTF..."

and no ones ever heard of him again

[gamagu4ever]

Poor house :(

[gamefreak1000000]

All tornadoes are is just wind. I'm sure the people are fine. :\

[mryjn420090]

LOL those people who lived there were probably assholes anyway ;dd

[Vladdyachuk]

That's sad:(

[abey3008]

@jonas4236 no!!! A different video just like this one.... I think it was filmed from the other side of the house;) probably not;) I don't know. Maybe if I just step inside the map then maybe.... Then maybe....... I can come out!!!! You know? How about you?;)

[abey3008]

I just had a Deja vu watching this video!!!!

[jonas4236]

@abey3008

That very old school mickey mouse toon where ppl plays classical music while theres a tornado? o.o

No? Oh, okay then........ xD

[Runaholism]

If I ever buy a house in Texas or Oklahoma, I will make sure it comes with a basement.

[JDillusions]

Omg its today!

[08usafmom]

That's some scary shit right there... It's fasinating seeing the lighting or whatever flash a couple of seconds before everything is uprooted. I just hope everyone was safe that day :)

[felon124]

How does the camera stay intact when trees are uprooted

[MadHornetSeries]

@felon124 Some security cameras are very compact and built tough, because theives try to break them with things. Butnit wouldn't survive a direct hit from a tornado.

[MadHornetSeries]

@MadHornetSeries but it*



[Dodalalal91]

Its Over 9000!!!

[KayleighSmyth]

tornadoes scare me O_O

[Theskiscuba1080]

Insane!!

[RammsteinDEUTSCH]

Looks fun.....................

[AmericanGirlDoll311]

im so happy i live where we only have earhtquakes nothing major like that wow im lucky

[KarbineKyle]

DAMN! Tornadoes are awesome to look at, until they are right on top of you! I guess it's better to live on Earth, than to live in a gas giant planets' atmosphere! I couldn't imagine that! Neptune has 1500+ mph winds! If you were floating still in Neptune's clouds, your whole body would break the sound barrier if you were in those winds! Those storms make the storms on Earth look like calm weather!

[pacific707]

Now this - is pretty terrifying!!

[MATTNMISSY]

WOW!!

[WtFKaBoom]

GG fail.,...

[gigabytevideos]

house FAIL

[4kids1000]

WOW

[mcscheijgrond79]

tree still stands

[jahspromise]

There were people inside of this house at the time? :(

[xensxtreme]

Well in the USA they should learn to build houses like Europe , The Netherlands Belgium Germany etc . Those are always build from stone , and can handle F2 and F3 easily . Ok , they maybe expensive but much beter than home's bluided from wood .

[dragonridley]

@xensxtreme

F2 damage is the removal of the roof and would be surprised if many of you buildings had stone roofs.

An F3 can collapse brick walls as well as wood frame ones. I don't think stone would fare much better.

[peterkuhf]

@dragonridley The roof is no problem , we got second floors and are build of stone also . The roof is most times builded from stone plates .

[dragonridley]

@peterkuhf

So such a house could probably fare fairly well in a low to moderate EF3, but a high end EF3 or stronger would still probably inflict serious damage.

[Bdiddly1]

@xensxtreme ,thats all well considering we dont get them in europe!

[narutofanz4]

nature is so beautifully destructive:) i love it

[izzymeester11]

how is it beautiful.. the tornado tht ripped this house apart killed 8 people and its not beautiful.............that house was amazing inside

[lolwut31]

That was my house.

[oriontrail]

Amazing how powerful nature can be...and velocity of this wind is stunning.

I hope this house has insurance.

[Canternabra422]

My house just got hit by a tornao about a week ago and it sucked

[webkinzX0X0]

thats scary D=

[PanicAtTheDiscoo1011]

'ThatWhiteB0y' Us brits dont think of americans like that! Only the pricks do... And wh ydo americans think of the English as people who wear top hats and our idea of casual clothes is blasers and ties and like to drink tea in the rain? We are cooler then that (;

We dont wear ties...

[dunbladekilla]

one of the most breathtaking videos ive ever seen.

[raslu04]

That's why you should never live across the street from a bank. Also, tornados are attracted to grey homes.

[blueskdragonFX]

heh cheap build houses. if you want your house to survive build it out of bricks not just wooden plates. no hell are whining when they find their house in pieces

[dragonridley]

This was an EF5. Tornadoes of that strength can completely destroy structures whether they are made of wood, brick, concrete, or stone.

[datzfast]

true the only thing on record surviving

are rooms made of eight inch poured re-bar reinforced concrete. or underground

structures.

[dragonridley]

Even in those cases, was the tornado at F5/EF5 strength when it hit those structure. St to brick housing. That would explain a brick building collapsing but not being completely carried away.

[dragonridley]

One tornado of similar strength to this one lifted a well anchored brick house off its foundation. The entire house was thrown and disintegrated in mid air.

[datzfast]

brick is worthless. the brick is held up by the house.

[ProfessorIgor]

bricks ?? an F5 tornado (this one is the Parkersburg, IA F5) can obliterate municipal brick buildings and leave nothing behind but a cement slab. F5's will even strip the tile off the cement. There is literally no cost effective structure besides an imbedded reinforced concrete shelter, achored to the earth with driven piles that will stay intact in an F5 tornado. You have to see the damage firsthand to really understand how damaging an F5.. or even an F4 truly is.

[Lessinath]

@ProfessorIgor Yes, people really greatly underestimate the damage that tornadoes cause, especially higher end tornadoes, until they see it firsthand. Most people cannot comprehend buildings reduced to a concrete slab.

A message to everyone here: Pray you never get to see that kind of damage with your own eyes.

[izzymeester11]

this tornado recked the school, which was made of bricks!!!

[sevenboarder]

Amazing Power... very scary what it can do to us...

[Dancing88Mike]

Thsi is hardcore wow

[singer4everandever]

i was in a tornado and my house was in pieces it sounds like a train

[ICR68]

Wow, there's some angry people on YouTube. Loosen up, you might have a stroke.

[dragonridley]

Shh, don't tell them that.

If they have strokes they won't bother us anymore.

[thetravelingboy]

lol this would be great for a 'ima chargin mah lazer!'

[Derek799]

house got pwned

[Lisagurl2009]

wow

[Chasermaan]

Besides when was the last time Britain got hit by an EF5? Also it would be interesting to see what would happen to your town if it got hit by an EF5. Bet your house wouldn't be standing eh douchefag

[Chasermaan]

I agree with Professorlgor an EF5 destroys everything. Besides this is more of an American subject. I don't think cooljulz7 exactly understands what just happened.

[daisyjam06]

omg soo glad i live in Australia

[otterinbham]

What a halfwit you are. Outside of a concrete bunker, nothing can withstand the 250-300 mpg winds of an F5. So STFU already, you ignorant slob, and go back to playing Guitar Hero.

[ProfessorIgor]

wood, brick, cinderblock... unless it's a reinforced and ANCHORED with piles driven into the ground structure, it's getting wasted be an EF-5 tornado hotshot.. Take a good long look at Greensburg, KS... almost ALL of the buildings in the downtown section were brick. They ALL got COMPLETELY demolished along with the BRICK High School. Learn just a little bit about tornadoes before you spout off in here. You're making yourself look more stupid than you actually are. Or maybe you are THAT stupid.

[ultimateskinsfan]

Funny thing is he is from the UK. Don't these EUROTRASH fucks always call us "stupid Americans"?

[laitela01]

EUROTRASH ROFLMAO just like it wouldnt be true

[ultimateskinsfan]

you are an idiot!

[horseowner]

Are you a dumbass, that was from the ATM camera

[recki78]

Just another piece of Euro-Trash commenting on something Euro-Trash don't care to understand. A EF-5 Tornado, like this one, causes damage comparable to atomic bomb. Go find a soccer game and be a hooligan some where else! By the way soccer and cricket sucks! The USA bailed the UK's ass out twice in the 20th century, and we beat you in two wars in 50 years on our home soil.

[cooljulz7]

ok chill the fuck out, im sorry i didnt know shit about tornados, and you beat us in 2 wars? i didnt realise america was against britain, oh we they werent. seeing as jersey isnt part of britain or europe, then i guess im not "Euro-Trash" or any other insult your imaginative mind can come up with. And if you think that jersey people are football hooligans, even though we have never had a case of hooliganism, then you truly are a 'stupid-american'

[ThatWhiteB0y]

No offence but most of the time I always see british people saying "Fat Americans" "stupid american". And honestly We never really start shit. You guys do. There are cool english people and there are the fucking pricks that like to talk shit. When us americans would put our life on the line everytime for your country.

[rrivas23]

Amen brother!

[Treestompa1986]

i'm happy i live in floirda lol. but a tornado can go anywere at anytime.

[PATCHY12345]

yep same i love in jacksonville beach but we get hurricanes...

[ProfessorIgor]

correct... I live in WI, there was an EF-3 tornado in Kenosha this year in JANUARY !! A little odd, eh ?

[Treestompa1986]

Yes Very odd...but a tornado can happend any were at any time...an there really come around May 1...if you have seen on my youtube i have some really kool friends that have a show called storm chasers an...there really kool..if you wanna have more info let me know there AWESOME an the know there thing about tornados its sick lol your friend emily

[lolii454]

Learn how to type.

[SliknotLover420]

Learn How to Fuck off. lol ass hole mother fucker

[bacara3]

???

[iHeadSh0tz]

i think its funny how people always criticize how people type. its youtube, nobody cares if you make typos. and for all you people taht critize how people type, get a life. (and yes i know I spelled "taht" wrong)

[019208237]

Lol Thats right m8 you tell em!

[mattdogggg]

i know ur so right and geuss what i spelled that wrong too hehe =]

[welshyrocksursoxs]

wow I am so happy these things dont happen ehere i live

[Dismissing]

This is quite heart breaking! :( I hope whoever was in there (if anyone) was alright. Tornadoes are fascinating to watch, but we gotta remember how much trouble they cause.

[PrzygodyAnoe]

Ur right!

[bellpawt]

now you see it ...now you dont tada!

[Coasterwiz]

This is why you don't open your windows in a tornado...

It wastes time, and it only opens the house up to debris.

(HINT: When the roof blows off, the rest of the house follows)

[TheWWE34]

i have been in the torando 10 times LOL

[Bud8Nascar]

Hold on

[16Meep16]

amazing!

[tornadochaser14]

that bank is going going going ...gone

[emihousehold]

i was wondering was the storm that rough or the house was just not properly built (aka the people knew there would be storms anyway so they didnt make it sturdier) thus the easy ripping apart?

[ProfessorIgor]

construction quality would have been of little consequense in a tornado of this magnitude. Ef-5's simply obliviate any wooden frame structure. (Most brick structures as well)

[bighare08]

You are so right, and I'll add one more comment I feel people get a false since of security with tornadoes because of these so called structures that can withstand large wedge tornadoes. thats a dangerous attitude the fastest recorded tornado was 318mph and you better believe there will be a much stronger tornado than that! so no matter what stucture your in or it's rating as far as wind. when a large tornado comes your way ya better find a basement and increase your odds of survival!!!!

[Moongoddess1983]

Oh and by the way, If you want to check out the flooding there are videos posted, we are just 30 minutes up river from Iowa City. It devstating.

[kosmo2cat]

We here in the Philadelphia area are very aware of the devastating flooding you folks in Iowa are experiencing. It is all over our news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in Iowa who have lost everything - and I'm sure I speak for people all over the country who feel the same. We count ourselves lucky that we have been spared this devastation here in the east - but we always remember that there is no guarantee of safety anywhere.

[Moongoddess1983]

I live in Cedar Rapids, Ia which does get bad weather such as this. We are about an hour away from Parkersburg. This stuff is scary and life changing! Anybody wants to say that you weren't impressed or scared by bad weather is heartless. Oh and for anybody that cares, our state is now severaly flooding. The river is so high that are having emergancy evcautions for parts of Cedar Rapids and most towns around this area. Just an FYI, Cedar Rapids is down river from Cedar Falls.

[SilverBitsPonyclub]

we had bad flooding in New Hartford 2

[kosmo2cat]

Wow. I'm a storm freak and this video is REALLY something to see. I pray for the people who might have been inside the home during this tornado - perhaps in the basement - that they survived and were uninjured. Heartbreaking to see their house & possessions being destroyed right in front of our eyes. Does anyone out there have ANY information on the owners of the house??

Here in Eastern Pennsylvania, we never get storms even close to that.

[highonsunday]

KCRG-TV News has this video up on their website, and in the story it says "The man who lives here didn't want to say anything about the video, but once again, he is doing fine and preparing to move on." It looks like he's doing okay, thank goodness, but what a shame for him to have lost his home this way.

[kingofpuppets]

dam iowa suX

[209Films]

I saw it on the news, not impressed or scared

[beserker1912]

ok....why should we care. thats you.

[209Films]

Even if I did live in tornado zone and i was in the camera's place, I wouldnt be scared

[beserker1912]

still dont care.not info i can use in life. im sorry im just bein stupid but ur comment is pointless

[liquidstl]

WOW

[joeblack112]

hey guys could anyone tell me if this on the link is really a tornado forming or just some really odd storm system... we had a tornado a year ago here where I live in mexico which is on border with Texas.. we never had any history of tornadoes here but last year a huge f-4 twister hit us leaving death and destruction ... this year we have had some really bad weather... anyways check it out and tell me what you think.. thanks :)

watch?v=PMwQwCmWBeU

[dragonridley]

no, it isn't

[CyrusNixes]

The video cut off long before the center of the tornado passed over. Even so, it looks to me like those last gusts that are clearly visible have to be over 200mph. I think this new EF scale greatly underestimates tornado windspeeds.

[DMRegister]

The National Weather Service classified this tornado as an EF5...with wind speeds just over 200 mph.

[xxcurnuxx]

@CyrusNixes the people who created the new scale really have discovered that there is not much difference between a 200 mph gust and a 300 mph in the way of house damage so lowered the windspeed

[dragonridley]

@CyrusNixes

The worst of the tornado didn't hit this part of town. Only a relatively narrow portion of the tornado's path produced EF5 damage. The bank from which this footage was taken took EF2/EF3 damage so winds would have peaked at about 135 mph.

[pavelponomaryov]

it was a nice house... scary.. I bet a brick house would not even shake. :)

[sgtjlopez]

reminded me a bit of what a house looks like when it gets hit by an atom bomb

[VisionQuest2012]

It seems that little over hang most "A" frame houses have is like a catch for wind. A domed shape house could make it through that because of aerodynamics.

[rbombie]

you are retarded

[gvilleguy32605]

One of the most interesting tornado videos I ever seen. I hope no one was home at the time.

[stormspinner1]

Oh, my goodness - that's scary!

*StormSpinner*

[frow9405]

Wow...that was intense.

Nice house, too.

[obxnitro]

This has to be the best up close tornado video!It looks like the old atom bomb test video when the house decintigrated!!

[swtypi04]

this video...yea this was the house my grandparents lived in 2 yrs ago. this is insane

[fanofnothingface]

holy shit!

[IHeartTaylorSwift3]

thats like sooo sad picture that happening to ur house!!! lol

[itsalleternal]

Hollywood couldn't show it better!

[filathor]

nah,. hollywood have tried,. but they fail,. TWISTER was a good movie,. but they could not recreate what is done here,. look at the inflow winds,. Amazing,.

and it shows that its not really the Tornado it self that brigs down the house,. its the debris and strong inflow winds,. once it has made a hole in the structure its a piece of cake to take the rest,.

[saleens66]

omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
