[PUG205GTX]

Whats the best material to rebuild your house with? Straw, Sticks or Bricks?? None I'd just live underground!! :)

[CrazyKawasakiRider]

[flyingfan11]

[4EyedBlonde]

i'm hoping you had clothes on by the time the reporters came... lol

wow. tornadoes are incredible. that was really shocking seeing those houses pulverized in the river.

[JamminJenn420]

Wow you are very lucky to have gotten to safety in time! It came so fast you must've had only 4 or 5 min. to get to safety! There was alot of damage done and I'm very happy you and your family are ok. I watched both parts of your videos and they were amazing! The fruit of the loom underwear part is just hilarious lol... very funny! I've just recently started researching about tornadoes and want to become a storm chaser. Scary but thats what I like about it!

[padude64]

Thank you so much for posting this! This video shows a classic supercell thunderstorm when the rain and hail strike, then becomes quiet and then all of a sudden, a tornado! These videos are classic! Congrats to your videos and I am glad you are ok!

[steve9509]

these are awsome videos.

[abbyx2511]

[jklisbawls]

i live in New Jersey and we get tornado warnings and watches but they never come.

[Manafesdestiny]

HAH XD I saw ur dog poopin at about 1:09

[CarniWickedFreekShow]

I watched yer first video also.

I must say they both are amazing. Im so happy you and yer family survived.

You caught everything, hail, the fog, and how it got so still (that shook my up).

I dont think anyone cared that you didnt have any pants on! LOL Since you got this video, did you at least get some on??

Amazing again!

[Wings73]

Do you know what size this was that hit ya'll? 2 or 3 or maybe even 4?

[tyonts18]

Wow i'm sorry to hear all that happened to your neighborhood and all those houses... I hope everyone was okay! Did you film this in a VHS? I know alot asked you why you just posted it, so i was thinking you burned it on a dvd with a VHS/DVD recorder, then posted it. Hey, it was the 90's! lol. Again, thanks for sharing, but i feel bad for all that lost their houses!

[Lampofilm]

Hi, Yes you are right, i first filmed it with a VHS camera, and then much later I transfered the footage to DV and then Mpeg2 format. thanks, have a fun day

[Barefoot0Walker]

@Lampofilm wow! first you lose your garage, then the houseI!

what a devastating blow to you and your family that must have been!

let's hope that was the worst thing that ever happens to you, and that you never see another tornado, or if you do, you get video of it.

[EffinMatty]

I heard this particular storm was the strongest tornado to hit Illinois in 20 years. Wind speeds up to 260 mph.

How long was the actual impact of the tornado? In Part One, it sounded like it was only a couple of seconds. Was this edited, or was that the actual duration of impact?

[Lampofilm]

I did not edit any of the sound. What you see is what happened. Thanks for replying, have a fun day.

[thecompanycar]

I forget the exact date of the Plainfield, IL tornado, but I'm pretty sure it was the same year. You may be thinking of that tornado since it was rated either an F4 or F5. This looks more like F2 to F3 damage.

[Sims2andMusicLover]

@ thecompanycar: The Plainfield tornado was on August 28, 1990. So yes it was the same year. And it was an F5 to be exact.

[estone1000]

august 28 1990 I remember that tornado, it was an F5, also, there were sporadic tornados off and on that day, Illinois has some tough weather!

[supp96]

man were in the middle of a tornado warning in chicago illinois but we have had a few f1s but never has my house been hurt at all thank u god

[Fsxroflcopter]

tornadoes have been heard to only last seconds on a house it seams. No editing, a tornado can move fast. thats why they say not to try to outrun it.

[AzzarClarKyy95]

@EffinMatty when a tornado hits, no matter how strong or loud it is, because they travel pretty fast, most of the time they come and do the damage and have whisked away in 30 seconds to 1 minute, but depending on how fast the twister is moving along the ground, sometimes the impact can only last about 10 seconds, its amazing what they can do in such a short space of time :D

[bbgurl60]

i lost my cat to a tornado and when i moved to Louisiana, my cat was still alive at the shelter!!!!!!!!!! YAEY!!!

[kblaksley]

Unbelievable,

Seconds and all that damage. Great video! How come you just posted it this year?

[jetline09]

yeash looks like you fared better than those poor people. it had to be a EF-2 or EF-3 if it just tore your roof off and their houses apart

[Sims2andMusicLover]

@ jetline09: This was 1990, when the F-Scale was in place.

[pythondragon34]

HOw old were you when this happened and idid you have any pets inside the house??!?!?!?!?

[pythondragon34]

well did you get that house fixed because i saw rthe first and second video of what videos you made did you have any animals???

[ElectronicVoice]

as say on cbc website, it is an F4 tornado. =)

[clj7]

why don't you add more lol? It's fasinating. Never seen anything like this before

[alexwashere45]

wow man we had a tornado in cherry hill it was bad

[ww2masta]

u sound like a teen in this vid so u must be like an adult by now lol im only 12. and do you know wut type of tornado wus that on the scale im just guessing its an f3 but tell me if you know

[Lampofilm]

Hi, I was in my first year of college back then, so yes, I was a lot younger. Now I am 39 years old.

Not sure what scale the tornado was.

[Ethlinn]

Must have been weird to see it back?

Very impressing, I live in a country where there are no tornado's at all but it must be so weird to see your house going down

Thanks for sharing this!

[halo3ha67]

F4-F5 tornado

[cvilleok]

It's maximum rating was F3, if it were an F4 or F5, there would have been nothing standing afterwards.

[Sebaru]

@Lampofilm Hi, I was in my first year of college back then, so yes, I was a lot younger. Now I am 39 years old.

Not sure what scale the tornado was.

Wow 39! Okay, so how long did it take for the people to come out and fix your home? Do currently still live there or another city? U seem like a really kool person! do u have a twitter?

[AzzarClarKyy95]

@Lampofilm hi there, im a storm chaser in training and judging by the look of the damage, e.g trees uprooted and severe structural damage, i can tell you that that tornado was most probably F3 on the fujita scale, im so glad that you are okay :D

[Pokemon978IsBackOn]

It's an F3 tornado.

[JamesTyreeII]

@ww2masta Yes, it was a catagory EF 3

[ww2masta]

cool

[ww2masta]

wus that the mississippi river?

[Lampofilm]

Yes, near Cordova Ill

[mrtwiggshott]

was that an f3??? i had a tornado in rockford ohio or at least a little one out side of town

[IrishBarFight]

Its a good thing you didn't wait just a little bit longer to take your shower...putting you IN the shower at the time the storm hit. These were great videos, though I do feel badly about saying that because of all the damage/loss your family suffered. Its 18 years later now, so I'm sure everything is back to the way it was.
