  • 3 words WRATH OF GOD

  • From omaha nebraska R.I.P all joplin victims . So sorry for your loss.

  • lol at first i thought it said Isaac Potato 0:00

  • Its scary how fast this tornado formed. It went through the fajita scale in a matter of minutes. Never seen anything like it, god bless joplin

  • St louis is so close 5miles away we were about to die

  • At 1:18 it looks like the clouds are on the ground! The sky really is falling! R.I.P Joplin victims.

  • OMG that is enormous!

  • Was chillin at the mall when we had to evacuate scared the crap out of me hope it nevers does that again

    R.I.P. Joplin Victims

  • Monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnste­r tornado took out 30 percent

  • It kill more than 160 at least 350 30 percent of it gone and it was a monnnnnnnnnnnnster tornado of all time

  • This was one of the most intense tornados in recent years. Its winds were probably a high-end

    E-F5 when it hit Joplin. It was both a multi-vortex and wedge. The inflow into the storm is simply amazing and scary.

  • 160 people died in that tornado :(

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like its walking? o.o I live in Missouri but not in Joplin, my heart goes out to the lost ones :(

  • what about the second EF5 in the outbreak did nobody chase that one?

  • @irelandcool1

    People did chase it, but it was rain wrapped, so there isn't really any good footage of it.

  • This is the doings of HAARP

  • I went on mission trip there a month after it happened and it was the worst devastation I'd ever seen. Never been so saddened by the amount of loss.

  • it looks like all the clouds just came down on joplin every single clouds what yall do to make mother nature that angry i mean gah dam if that was me i wuda shat my pants soon as

    i heard it was EF5 and it was in My city i wuda shat my pants and cried no joke omg omg omg

  • @jArek27200 Actually the only way to tell if a tornado is an EF5 is after it hits not just by looking at the thing because you can get a good estimate on windspeed from the damage as all wind instruments don't stand a chance in a tornado

  • Took out 30 percent of the town worst in history and it will take years to get it back to normal

  • Tookmout 30 percent of the town worst in history

  • What's that flying through the air? Its a plane! Its a bird! Its a frog! Its not underdog! Its a freakin car!!!!

  • I would shit in my pants if I was ever that close to one.

  • r.i.p. Will :'(

  • Much love from the stl, kc, and springfield, fucked up...

  • @452mshp No, they died and their ghosts uploaded the video to youtube....

  • I read the magazine, People, in the Joplin, MO issue and it said that there was a little girl with a medal Flag pole right thru her. God bless?

  • 2:23  This is bad.....

  • now you understand why the actors on twister called the f5 "the finger of god"

  • Can't believe this was almost a year ago... 

  • @AlieMayxo agreed

  • @AlieMayxo I know right

  • Crap!!!! Wiped the place out fuck I've never seen a video like that.

  • :29 It started about a mile or 2 from my house. We live on the stateline of Kansas/Missouri, and Joplin is our place to go for everything. We are there every single day, my husband works there. Those houses at 1:45 are where we take our kids trick or treating during halloween, right next to the twin hills country club. I've lived in Joplin 2 different times. It's so crazy to see this, because you never think it could happen to where you live. Take the warnings seriously!

  • It was a thin tornado then it was like the wall cloud sat down on the ground.

  • Seeing how quickly it formed is downright scary.

  • @RapturedSomber Yeah it is! I've never seen one form that fast.

  • my boyfriend is from joplin. he left late the night before, thankfully. everyone he knew was safe though. i'm very blessed but these videos do touch a sensitive spot. he showed be joplin a couple weeks ago, it's crazy. i hope it gets rebuilt soon :/

  • r they still alive

  • My prayers go out to those who were affected by the tornadoes.

  • Not fully reibuilt

  • could have been really great vid if camera was somewhat steady some of the time

  • Is Joplin rebuild?

  • I have lived in Joplin my whole life and still am I was in range line Walmart when it hit, I hate a huge gash in my arm but I still tried to help people Never will this happen again we all can hope ):

  • been a while. Thanks for the memories, not. Was there. So much is rebuilt back already. Sorry you WM haters. Wm is back to save us money. many new homes built. You still cant hardly find pizza. Love Joplin

  • Climatologists predicted a while back that extreme weather events will become more severe and more common. The Tuscaloosa tornado was labelled as the most deadly one ever until this monster came along. It got very big very fast!

  • @19pkatet no tuscaloosa wasnt the deadliest. infeact tuscaloosa tornado isnt in the top 25 deadliest tornadoes, joplin is 7th all time.

    10. 1953 flint,MI tornado killed 116. 9. 1899 new richmond,WI-117, 8. 1908 LA,MS tornado-143, 7 joplin tornado- 162, 6.1947 woodward,OK- 181, 5.1936 gainseville,GA tornado-203, 4.1936, tupelo, MS- 216, 3.1896 st louis,MO tornado- 255, 2.1840 natchez,MS tornado-317 deaths, 1.1925 tri state tornado- 695

  • Holly crap

  • tornado season is right around the corner too. wonder what kind of season it will be

  • @omtomt8787

    I hope no one dies

  • And at what point in this day did you stop to pull people out of the wreckage?

  • @CarrieBHS How about you read the video info:

    " The team spent hours assisting with search and rescue and transporting victims to local hospitals in personal vehicles."

  • this guy is a fucking douche bag because it sounds like he took pleasure from filming this. surely, i can't be the only one that was wishing for that twister to take this cock bag's pathetic life.

  • @blklightning330 No one knew this was going to hit Joplin as an EF5. I assume you have never been storm chasing, it's pure adrenaline. Plus it's not like they just filmed it and left. They assisted for a long time helping people in the town.

  • 2:21 Get out of the way! Sorry....... Not you, my map is being frustrating.

  • I was in the tornado and I can say this..........MOUNTAIN DEW IS FUCKING DELICIOUS!

  • Ironic that I saw tthe news and thought "Thank God Iive in Massachusetts where something like this won't happen." 8 days later there was a tornado

  • That's what she said from 1:27 - 1:30. Sorry just had to be said.

  • every body bodys got ripped of awfullll

  • I lived there 9 years of my life, and I could barley even tell where I was, even though were I livped wasn't destroyed . I was standing on my front porch wondering what was happening. I still have nightmares because of the tornado and damage.

  • i remember this even though i might not be exactly in joplin in was close to st. louis and we had to seek shelter and everyone was so afraid because of the such bad weather we feared it would come to us. i feel so bad for the poor people in joplin.

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta Just because you do certain things and eat twinkies and drink MD doesn't mean God doesn't love you, retard.

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta why does a desperate and misinformed belief in God give you the right to speak for him?

  • @glenv I am His prophet.

  • Comment removed

  • This is what you get people of Missouri! You meth head, mountain dew drinking, cigarette smoking, twinkie eating, Nascar watching, Jerry Springer loving, trailer court living, food stamp spending, no account, no good, dirty pieces of white trash. You have wrought the wrath of God Almighty! On your knees and REPENT!!!! Change you ignorant ways! NOW!! It is an affront to the LORD! For this has been said by the one and only true living prophet of God, Jack Straw from Wichita. Amen.

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta I'm pretty sure that talking smack on God's creations aka us "white trash" folks from missouri isn't exactly what He would want you to be doing. So how about rather than bashing people for NO REASON you spread God's word in a much more appropriate and positive way. And you know what?? I EAT TWINKIES AND WASH THEM DOWN WITH MOUNTAIN DEW AND GOD STILL LOVES ME ANYWAY!!!

  • @itsracheldudeeee No, you are mistaken. If you are eating twinkies and drinking mountain dew, He does not love you. He despises you. For you have desecrated the very vessel that He hath provided for your soul. Please start taking better care of your body. Eat healthy food and live a clean life. It is the least you can do to show Him thanks.

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta and what drug are you on that said you are the prophet of god? but you go ahead and believe what ever your little heart desires, but i'm pretty sure a twinkie didn't cause a tornado, you might want to seek professional help? or go to church once in a while, because idk what god you're worshiping, but it's people like you that makes people who believe in a religion look bad.

  • @itsracheldudeeee People who believe in religion look bad because they're foolish imbeciles who take as fact, a ridiculous, thousand year old superstition. You blindly believe, through "faith", that Jesus was the son of God, born of a virgin, walked on water, and, in true zombie fashion, was resurrected from the dead. You'll believe a talking snake, the devil, convinced the first women, made from a rib, to eat forbidden fruit. But yet you doubt I may be a prophet?

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta there's no doubt in my mind when it comes to knowing you're not a prophet. but I do know one thing...you're a hypocrite. how can you sit here and talk trash on people who believe in religion but yet you say you believe in God? Religion is simply the belief in a higher being or power, and since you believe in God, you believe in religion. So if you wanna call yourself a foolish imbecile (which you clearly did, although it was indirect) then I'll gladly agree with you.

  • @itsracheldudeeee then again...I'm aethiest anyway :)

  • @itsracheldudeeee Then maybe you are not a foolish imbecile. Still take it easy on the twinkies and mountain dew. Not for God, but for yourself. If there is a "God" I'm sure he or she is indifferent about both twinkies and tornadoes.

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta Im not a atheist but I do think this fellow who your talking to is a well crazy person. There are many false prophet's and he is likely one of them so I find him rather insulting even though im none denominational.

  • @bigJ09z I am the one and only true prophet of God almighty! Praise be! Get on your knees and pray to ME! Jack Straw from Wichita! Baddest Injun this side the Mississippi River! I jump higher, run faster, hit harder, drink more fire water, and screw more squaw, than any Man alive! Me smoke 'em peace pipe, and scalp 'em white man! Me have heap big medicine! Holy spirit in sky say "You Jack Straw, carry my message to all Mankind". That's why I tell you right here. Right NOW!!!

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta Ok maybe your nut's then??

  • @bigJ09z Maybe?

  • @jackstrawfrmwchta your completely wrong in every thing u said, obviously he loves everyone, but ur hate is im sure not ok with him. and the "white trash" rednecks, seem to be smart, just so happens almost every republican state is doing much better or even well compared to the failing democrat states, smart enough to know how to run a gov

  • (to all the raging Joplin survivors)

    Stop hating on tornadoes and screaming at people who like them. Just because you survived one bad tornado doesnt make it okay for you to be a pussy.

  • I am just amazed on how quickly it developed

  • These guys don't give a FUCK about people. Take my word for it. They don't.

  • @wilsondylanmccartney Clearly nobody is taking you "Word" so just shut up ok thanks

  • what a mesocyclone

  • I remember that monster! That beast (or a part of it) formed right near my grandmas house somewhere in the Bridgeton area! It could have hit her house, but we got lucky, the storm had knocked the power out so the only thing to alert us was the tornado sirens going off!

    That was scary! And VERY close! DX

  • @SpookyBonesworth I also have pictures of the damage around the area, everything was such a mess! And R.I.P. to those that have died.

  • @seramonster26 same here im from a southwest missouri city and i was so scared whenever that thing came up

  • wish i was there

  • This is crazy...I am flying down from New York over my spring break to help rebuild...guess every little bit helps...

  • Instead of filming it, why not get out and try to help someone?

  • 0:38 touchdown

  • omgosh this is orrible it did sooo much destruction did u know extreme makeover home edition did 7 houses there then the cancled the show not because of doing 7 houses jusyt because...

  • I live in Joplin, Missouri, and people seem to have forgotten that it is not over for alot of us. We are a town of 55K, and when you calculate the number of people that lost their homes it was 6700 homes, with an average of 3 people per household... that is 20K or more. Please we stil need people to come and help us build back. Homes of Hope for Joplin is building 20 homes for Tornado Survivors. Please we still need your help

  • I was half a street from being devistated by this tornado. I was on Annie Baxter and 22nd. I looked to my left everything was gone, to the right just downed tree's. My sister however, was not so lucky. While she lived, she knew her house would never stand a tornado (Kentucky and 24th street directly behind joplin high) she fled seeing it coming and ended up in home depot who took the hardest hit. She was one of the few to survive in that building.

  • this is prove of climate change and global warming. these storms have gotton worse over the past 10 years. We've never seen a storm like this. And now 89 people are dead. It's horrific.

  • @ForeverSunny3 Meteorologists were saying at the time that there are cycles of intense tornado outbreaks every 50 years or so. This terrible event and the other storms that broke out over that horrific 3 day period were part of an established weather pattern.

  • @ForeverSunny3 This kind of uninformed post is so typical of your ilk.

  • @soylentteal ? idk what exactly your saying, but if you look at the weather patterns for the year 2011, you will find and increase of tornadoes, hurricanes and droughts. It is informed, and I suggest you do some research.

  • @ForeverSunny3 One year doth not a trend make. One of the records broken (# of twisters in a day) was from 1974...how "warm" was our globe back then? I think you Al Snore drones would blame global warming--I mean climate change--I mean whatever the hell you're calling it now--for an overdrawn bank account.

  • @soylentteal it's not even worth arguing with you. I'm going to school for engineering, and I work with scientists everyday. They laugh at people who believe that global warming doesn't exsist. Yes, it is not confirmed because data is changing everyday. Nothing is confirmed by scientists, because new research is always found. They arn't 100% sure what is causing global warming, but 99.9% of all scientist know it's real, and is a major problem. So be some ignorant ass somewhere else.

  • @ForeverSunny3 I really don't see that global warming had anything to do with this monster it just had perfect condition's to form. Now I haven't seen any evidence for global warming but I don't think it caused this powerful and destructive EF-5. This has more to do with La Niña and the fact the hold and cold air and the jet stream and atmospheric rotation and humidity along with upper air sheer and high instability in the atmosphere. 99.9%?? No maybe 30-25% do

  • @ForeverSunny3 Honestly if someone tries to use this catastrophic event to promote global warming I would be disgusted.

  • @bigJ09z scientists are not trying to promote it, because most people are making changes. But it is a fact that within the past 10 years, the weather patterns have become more rapid because of the warming of our atmosphere. maybe this has happend before, but many other people died around the world because of more stronger and violent typhoons, hurricanes and tornadoes.  It's aweful.

  • @ForeverSunny3 Yes they are trying to promote it if global warming was happening we would have less tornadoes. Because if it actually was the air would warmer everywhere and one of the main things that makes tornadoes is cold air and warm air colliding. So have you have heard of the weather pattern El Niño or La Niña?? You seem to confuse weather patterns with global warming which is junk science if I remember correctly the earth has actually been cooler in temperature the hotter.

  • @ForeverSunny3 scientists also think evolution is real too, but clearly i know its not real

  • @tampatampa404 Clearly you don't know what your talking about.

  • @ForeverSunny3 sure whatever helps u sleep at night. but u keep thinking that

  • @tampatampa404 lol yup, cause i'm the idiot=]

  • @ForeverSunny3 again, if it helps u sleep at night.....

  • @tampatampa404 I'm just concerned about the well being of our future generations. That's all. And just because it's not affecting us severely now, doesn't mean it won't in the future.

  • @ForeverSunny3 You again illustrate the wise saying that "a (very) little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”

  • @ForeverSunny3 actually at least 162 died, monster killer tornado this was

  • @ForeverSunny3 and its just a really bad tornado hitting a town, its happened many times before

  • Jesus Christ that thing went from a little pencil to an F5 in like 3 seconds. I've never seen a tornado form that fast.

  • @S0vereignty That's the same exact thing I noticed myself; I'm watching this thing go from a near-transparent, dirt-kicking funnel cloud to touching down and swelling so grotesquely wide it literally loses its form and looks like the damn clouds just collapsed to the ground and were dragging... All within TEN SECONDS FLAT... and I'm just thinking to myself, "This is fucking ridiculous, I can't possibly be seeing this shit..."

  • Im so sorry for the people who had to live through this horrible nightmare,It grew into a monster quick.I agree it is not "beautiful" Its something I cant even imagine or want to experience

  • yes it was the joplin tornado,, go by 1701 connecticut and tell me what u see

  • its not this tornado , but i have watched the chasers on the weather channel,,and they comment,,oh what a beautiful tornado,, really?? how can something that does so much damage and kill people be beautiful??????????? and yes i survived the tornado,, my home did not and it was not beautiful my work was destroyed and it was not beauTIFUL iam now unemployed and IT IS NOT BEAUTIFUL

  • @kgracielu2005 I think that FASCINATING is the word that you are looking for.

  • Horrible!!!!!!!!

    We still have yet to recover! /:

    It's changing little by little and hopefully some day, it will be back to what it was!!

  • Comment removed

  • A guy name will, was sucked out of his new hummers sunroof in this tornado. R.I.P <3

  • @elle12314 Correction. He was sucked out of his daddies Range Rover Sport about an hour after he graduated from high school

  • now thats a tornado sorry to all who was in it :(

  • I love how tornado chasers just shout the obvious the entire time. "BIG TORNADO! STRONG TORNADO! BIG TORNADO!" Gee, ya think?

  • So many lives lost.......Unbelievable.

  • Omg!

    take care your self:)

  • Comment removed

  • 'oh my gosh' the single most annoying phrase in the English language!

    awesome video tho

  • wow the bravest of the brave.... thanks for showing this

     is crazy footage

  • REED FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • besides the may 3d 1999 tornado, this is the tornado of all tornadoes, unbelievable damage that i saw first hand

  • When you live in the United States.. You get all the shit.

  • I am from Joplin. This is my home. I would not live anywhere else. When you are from southern Missouri a little thing like a tornado will not destroy you. We are a very close knit community. We don't grow up and leave home and never come back. We stay around and care for our parents and grandparents. We take care of each other. It is a cultural more. We are rebuilding.

  • @seramonster26 has the town recovered yet? i really hope so i live in west memephis so obviouly this tornado didnt efect me but other ones have but never an F-5, wow your so brave going through this expeience i hope for the best for you

  • lol SCARY

  • very nice.

  • that is not a town, it is a suburban subdivision in the middle of nowhere. time to build a business district, a walkable community now. what a horrible disaster. I hope a better plan can be made in terms of livability. Less driving, more getting out and walking.

  • i know i am wacthing the extreme makeover home edition about it! its sooo sad i was crying! i cant imagine anything happening here!

  • I can't even imagine going through that...I remember watching it on the news last year. I was scared, even though I didn't live in Joplin.

  • Kansas no more toto

  • So sad watching this watching extreme makeover rip Sarah newtons bro

  • So sad... I'm just watching the Extreme Makeover on this with the 7 families. I literally cried...

  • absolute human carnage that night it must have been disgusting

  • Dorothy ? Dorothy ?

  • REED IS THE SAMUEL L JACKSON OF TORNADO CHASING

  • Things happen for a reason, people!

  • @xXAliceTheHedgehogXx No, they don't.

  • @xXAliceTheHedgehogXx Nothing just happens for a reason, so you believe in carma? well you are living a lie and what happend here was a total disaster, the second deadliest tornado on record and people like you spout vomit about carma and equilibrium disgusting!!!!!

  • I feel so bad for these ppl, its so sad.

  • Wow...Hard to believe people would wish something like this on another and try to find someone to blame. Its nature and nature does not evolve around people. I was in the 4-9-11 tornado and it was nothing like this but still horrifying enough.

  • I was in this tornado!

  • Comment removed

  • yuskham you should be hanged

    

  • @law2811 Your wish might come true, one of these tornados might sweep you away cunt!! (in england)

    I would prefer you hang yourself first though pmsl XD

  • @TheChe0101 i suppose your another ones of these sad fuck that thinks it was good that these all those tornados that that swept through last year was a good thing? not to sure how people being killed and homes destroyed is a good thing but hey, you must be must be sick in the head to think that.

    and if you went to school your know we don't get them over here, were be lucky to even get a ef0

    lets hope all the people that were hit have got their lives back to normal

    x

  • My school had to go under tornado watch for an hour or two that day. Or maybe the day after. Somewhere around there xP weather was really crazy for those few days.

  • @xTheJellyfishx what school was it?

  • sorry but what the scientists predict... it will get MUCH FUCKING WORSE

  • This is an invaluable record of a tornado which will still be written about a century from now. There are many indications it was a unique storm in many ways. The formation of the storm shown here has already helped understanding of what made this storm so powerful. Thank you for getting this footage of the multiple funnels forming because it helps clarify what followed, a tornado consisting of at least seven tornadoes within, some evidently forming upward from the ground.

  • I can't believe my boyfriend and I along with our dogs survived this thing. I never thought I would be tested in a manner such as this. We were lucky to recover what we did unlike so many others. Nor did we have any losses in either of our families. My little sister and I went to school with Will Norton and his older sister. Rest in Peace Will. Forever memorialized

  • как у американцев ассоциируется фраза - политическое торнадо ?

  • its called let my people go......praise YAHWEH BEN YAHWE!!!!

  • that thing got big fast...

  • interesting, if its punishment for stealing native lands, then why the hell does ok have the worst track record for tornadoes, i swear, where are selfish, stupid, and complete morons bred, lets go and talk as much trash to those who lost so much in these 500+ tornadoes we had just this year in the U.S, not to mention all the other disasters we have faced. just keep your god hating mouth shut unless you have something respectful to say.
