i want to be as inteligent as the people who always comment about safety and question 'Why?' on all these videos. I feel so dumb when i read your comments. Honestly i dont know what to say....
I remember back in August (I think?) 2011 there was a tornado just 20 miles from Madison, WI and i had to stay in the hospital for 15 minutes, really scary
Oh yeah i remember this Tornado that hit Birmingham, and Tuscaloosa i was in Washington DC for a field trip and i was in 6th grade when this happened and when i heard it on the news in Washington i was kinda scared and worried about my Home state and the people cause i knew it was going to be a strong severe storm and I live in Deatsville, Alabama which is probabaly 20 miles from Clanton or 25 miles but it was sad after the storm ): )':
Tornadoes are fascinating to me. Where I live we get the occassional small one that rips apart a barn or something though an F2 did go through downtown Salt Lake City. We certainly don't get anything insane like this!
This brings back chills.. I'm from Gardendale, AL and was watching this on the news when it spun up in Tuscaloosa. I got to see all the damage 1st hand when this same tornado hit Fultondale just north of me and thank God it didn't keep traveling north to my neck of the woods.
Starting around 8:30, it's interesting to see all the vehicles just driving right along the interstate (I-20?) with an EF-5 tornado just off to their north.
That bell definitely added to the eerie feel of the video. Some of the tornado may have been rain wrapped, but the tornado was at least a mile wide when it went just north of Birmingham.
@GAdawgsfan93 The tornado reached 1.5 miles in diameter by the time it had crossed I-65, according to NOAA, but the rain-wrapping makes it look that much bigger.
@AJTwister97 im not entirely sure if that entire mass of darkness was the tornado. it was in there alright and i think the width of it at this point had grown well over a mile
"I think we're the only ones crazy enough to do this" Ya think standing inside a metal cage atop a building in the middle of the lightining is crazy? Stupid more like
Some woman at work said all homes should be made tornado proof. I said there's no such thing with the exception--, buildings with the shape of the Great Pyramid of Giza and MADE to THAT SPECIFICATIONS-only problem is, the cost will be prohibited to all except the super rich-besides, how often does a tornado runs over the same spot?
theos bels make it scary

How often a tornado over the same spot of land?
Perhaps onces every few generations even in 'tornado alley'. You just have to take your chances and forget about it and live your lives.
