Tornado

[whiteface77]

wow great vid



[kaboonify]

Really that tornado was not ranked F1 or F2 or F4 but not F5. It was probably ranked F3.

[dragonridley]

I am familiar with this tornado, it was a low F2.

[xXDarkArbiterXx]

oh my damn! that bastards huge!!

[torn80s]

Dragonridley is right. I've seen a wall cloud with a large funnel cloud and a small funnel cloud, and had extremely slow rotation in both. If they had managed to touch the ground, they probably would have been rated F0 to F1. Although I doubt they were even F1. The big one hovered about 300 ft above the trees, and still it didn't do any damage to the trees. And if I remember right, the widest tornado on record was only an F2. I believe it was 2 and half miles wide. I might be wrong, rcrds chnge

[dragonridley]

Actually that 2.5 mile wide tornado was an F4.

[torn80s]

yeah I found it was a 2.25 mile wide tornado in tennessee that was rated an F-2.

[dragonridley]

There was one 2.5 miles wide that hit Hallam, Nebraska that was rated F4.

[tigersharkbunashi]

kuwait

[tigersharkbunashi]

o my god thank god we dont have enything like this

[rjboehm2011]

why where do live??

[vader9596]

That thing us huge!

[TheLucyfer69]

0:20 - 1:49 xD

Very Good

[Nukester200]

Hahaha i bet those people in those cars were all IKE AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH\

[xox945]

that's gotta be an F4 OR F5

[dragonridley]

This tornado hit Happy, Texas and was Rated F2

[xox945]

i bet that day happy,TX wasn't very happy lol thanks for the info

[Marekmeteo]

słabe

[yesjenisback]

wowo awesome i am scared of them things. i know its a hard job for watchers. great vid!

[chrispapish]

its not intense??? it looks huge! he probably ment its very stationary

[dragonridley]

Huge doesn't mean extremely powerful. This was rated F2

[K5KJ]

Although rated an F2, the tornado killed a married couple, and badly injured their teenage son.

[dragonridley]

Well, F2 is considered a strong tornado.

[winston5610]

1:06 "...it's not extremely intense yet..."

[scousecei]

i woud just run into it

[kaz2692]

why?

[tornadonoob1]

*tornado sirens* AhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[NLBurnie88]

F5?

[emergencyroom4ever]

omg

thats scary!!

[SixtiesFan90]

This was in Wheeler County, Texas. I remember watching the Weather Channel the day it happened.

[spider988]

that's really scary i what to see one

[fjeffrey10]

I lived through the 7/10/89 Hamden/New Haven Connecticut tornado that destroyed 350 homes and 40 businesses that traveled from Downtown Hamden to downtown New Haven injuring some but not killing anyone. I knocked over a gigantic tree that fell within inches of destroying my neighbor's house and my power was out until the afternoon the next day. Unfortunately I was only 2.5 years old at the time and therefore don't recall the incident.

[imTheMrBEAN]

well i can say this it is so big it will lagging the world

[AlanShriver]

OMFG that thing is huge!

[BensCrazyVideos]

Thats what she said

[STARCRAFTPROHO]

damn dude ur comment is spammed so i didnt read, i almost said the same thing. ahah

[GracieMoore]

OMG! That thing is freakin huge! =(

[Articstar23]

OMG! I freeak out when I see a tornado! How do u do dat? 'm amazed

[CameronKornVideos]

same here lol

[jskroski]

wow! were you scared when that happened? i would of probably died!!!!!!!!!!!

[s0ck3n]

lol @ people acting all smart like "an f5 is half a mile wide, f3 only 200 yards ;];]]"

bullshit

[Deathwishgodess]

oh wow.. O_O

[crazeman213]

DAMN! dats a beastie

[Luxgp]

from his huge is he a F5

[dragonridley]

I read about this tornado. It was a low end F2. Tornadoes Are rated by the severity of damage, not size.

[laura20022004]

That rotation is huge very nice cideo

[KC0TCH]

is that fastscan footage just askin because of the call in the corner of the screen 73 KC0TCH

[AshleeRZ]

thats frickin scary!

[juni0r30]

holy shit

[tuver4]

holy fuck

[Miker9595]

an elephant tornado wtf?

[burtonfan2]

elephant trunk is what he means, it looks like the trunk.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Holy freakin! crap!!! I hope I never come face-to-face with that much destructive power.

[garras1fan1997]

holy beep

[Letmeborrowdattop]

Woah. :O

[kc5vgw]

Its sure nice to hear her voice again. I had to work on that church that was hit. Great video. For those that said "sweet" That could have easily wiped out Happy. Not sweet by any means.

[soadfan992]

is this the tornado from Happy, Texas?

[PSBPMACIEK]

jak dawać plusy i minusy

[jay10106]

SWEET!!!!!

[elliemead15]

come on why are u all so terrified of tornadoes ive been in hundereds wen ive been on holiday in america n ive neva been hurt my house has neva crashed

every1 i no have been fine n ive been in F3 and F4

[mikecockrell]

Quick, someone call Bill Paxton.

[reddibacon]

it is not an f5 it was an f3, get it right.

[luis477]

It's an FE Tornado you Dumbass

[tecna64]

think about what an f5 would be then, double the size, double the windforce

[tecna64]

actually that is an f5... its over 300 yards wide at least! f 3's are 50 yards across max, i think its an f4-maybe f5

[dancer7827]

The Fujita scale is measured on tornado intensity, not the width of the tornado. It could very well be an F5, but there have been tornadoes this big, but scaled as an f1. GREAT VIDEO THOUGH!

[lightningfreek]

You dont know what your talking about tard....

[FlUdDeStRoYeR94]

in actuality it is an ef5

[mrThorleifsen]

Now this is 6 years ago

[Lynniecat7]

I was in one like that with my grandma. It is absolutely the scariest thing in the world to watch a monster like that coming straight at you....then it hits with the sound..like...a jet engine only louder....

[keriann9999]

that is what i call an elephant tornado my rating is 100% good job

[luis477]

This was an F4 or an F5 Tornado

[DaisytheDrawer]

f5!!!

[DaisytheDrawer]

f5!!!

[mstrsofday]

Happy is located in the Texas Panhandle. It is south of Amarillo.

[awes141]

HOLY CRAP WHERE IS THIS!

[laross94]

ur crazy!!

[wynny8]

es increible ke miedo necesito ayuda estoy un poco preocupa xk en mi ciudad hay mux aire sera k va a ver un tornado vivo en jaen por favor necesito respuesta rapida thanks

[pagoj0]

wow ur crazsy

[CM13086]

can someone answer me is can dere be tornados in ireland??? has dere ever been one

[GhettoStank]

have you ever seen a tornado video showing someone with an accent OTHER than american? Ireland does not have enough mobile homes to attract the tornados. they are actually attracted to trailer homes. that's a scientific fact.

[stephizzal]

it possible, and there probably has been one, but the weather conditions in ireland are not good for forming tornados, so it would be a very weak one. there was a tornado in england a couple of years ago, it generally just took some roof tiles off.

[CM13086]

thanks

[CM13086]

thanks

[Croga15]

WRONG. there was a torando of the coast of clare not that long ago and it made touch down and apparently was strong enough

[Croga15]

ye der are small ones

[LPcoverattempts]

Thats huge

[tusiacroft]

OMG!! AWESOME!!

[mrbrightsighed]

AWESOME.

[candyazz28]

Honest to god. I've read in an encyclopedia that a tornado's winds can go up as high as 900mph. The one's we see today is nothing compared to the true potential these funnel clouds can do. Any winds that spins can exert much more energy than your regular downdraft winds from any storm. All that is needed is its two main ingredients cool air mixing with warm moist air. Now that we are in global warming no telling how strong the tornado's in the future will be?

[dabrat242]

wow

[xcoolxwhipx]

eek!

[Brady0o]

nah i think its

F1: rope tornado

F2:Minor

F3:High winds, lifts things up

F4:Big damage, lifts things and throws them about more than 5 miles away o_O

F5:HUGE,massive damage lifts everything it gets close to goes bye bye xD

F6:huge minds, fast, supercell

F7: supercell, get 1 bit near it to it youll be floating

[DelMonteOnSteroids]

doesnt go past F5, and supercells arent tornados. they are sorm clouds.

[Kovenflash33]

actually it does. back in 99 when OK was hit by that so called "F5" it reached wind speeds of 326. thats past the speed of an "F5".

Recorded the largest wind speed from a tornado on earth.

It broke the record. It was an F6.

[Stormchaser2be]

BUT...did they record it as an "F-6"??...nope...

[tzzas]

buen video, el fenomeno natural ke mas me gusta, a pesar de lo destructivo ke pueden ser, los tornados son mi facinacion

[KevinMartinOWS]

Check my channel for TORNADO LABS. Never get caught off guard on a tornado again. All chasers have great rates for the best service you can get

[SlashFan24]

loobyloo your so stupid f3's do more than almost tear down trees

[loobyloo4911]

the fujita scale only has and always (mite) stay up 2 f5 not f12!!!!!!!

f1- nothing major, lol

f2- gale force

f3- just about tear out trees

f4- tear out trees, rooftops etc

f5- lift houses, cars, trees etc!!!

[drummerboi14]

f5,...

[jessicaXpotter]

that really freekes me out when i saw that face in the tornado at 1:46!!! what do u think it means??

[lodas18]

it means that u must suck my dick

[crazyjunkyardhoBos]

like on the left side??

[ricewookie]

crazy how tornadoes fourm.. its god.. O.o!

[ClickUp]

that fucker is HUGE!

[melrose1789]

Truly the wrath of mother nature. Thanks for posting!

[BiggestCyrusfan]

At 1:46 there is not another face bestlupinski!

[runninlikehell]

holi damn! it's a huge tornado!

[rodan70]

Where did this happen? What state?

[chinareds54]

Happy is in Texas, I think

[i1love2lamp3]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!

there's a town called 'happy'?

"3 miles west of happy"?

:D

[metalkev00]

They had to name it "Happy" because no one would move there if they named it what it really was; "Screwed"

[SIMIHIGH2008]

hahahaha

[masterp2269]

Amazing...

[eddielil619]

holy fucking shit

thats big as mi dick

ahahahaha

[ILP2007]

Holy crap at 1:50 in the top left of the tornado it looks like there's a face in the funnel!!

[onehitta1]

I seen it 2! Weird shit...

[bestlupinski]

i saw to at the same time very weird

[cheetah778]

i saw it too then i looked at other vid of tornadoes and there was like the same face only in differnt parts of the tornadoe its wierd man

[bestlupinski]

at 1:46 there is another face

[GoddessofWolfs]

man i wouldn't wanna be in the way of that

[alanmcivor]

thats amazing

[karlkani12563]

echt hard

[malfunctionm1ke]

Freakin F7-Tornado ;p

[Zaporiah]

OMG IM SCARED!!!!!!

[vorous]

this definitely the f5 of the "Twister" movie, it has bringed to the real life

[deadzone]

holy fuck ! thats the mother tornado right there

[ambrabeza]

what the where did the thick smoke come from O.o

[aryroski4life]

omg!!! O.o

[dutchsbaby]

i thought that the video was very impressive. It looks to me that the strength of that particular tornado may be as much as an ef- 5 maybe an ef-4. not sure what the damage was. unfortunatly the fujita scale,no matter the size of a tornado.... can only be messured by the damage path.... but i do have to say that over the past three years since hurrican Katrina... these storms are becoming more frequent and more violent. i also have noticed that the area in which we see these storms has grown.

[Bundy133T]

Actually they now have the Enhanced Fujita Scale. EF-1 - EF-5. I think they also have an EF-6 too, but its all been upgraded to actual wind damages to a variety of objects.

[TJE4210]

WHy did they put an "E" infront? F-# is just easier to say.

[Bundy133T]

Well thats because it now called the Enhanced Fujita Scale, and it is different from the original one.

[TJE4210]

I how that, my question is, why did they did they make it "enhanced"

[Bundy133T]

Oh sorry!

Didnt get your question the first time.

:)

The "Enhanced" scale was produced because they noticed that the debris a twister hits all behave differently to wind speeds. A house will react differently to an F-3 than a shopping mall. So they instead tested different materials and see how they all react to certain wind speeds.

noaa has a better explanation of it!

spc. noaa.

gov/faq/tornado/ef-scale.html

Enjoy!

[yodasoda87]

is that an f-6

[monsterborn12]

I dont think that theres suck thing as an F-6 tornado it only goes up to F-5

[BerriessnCreamm]

Actually, on May 3rd, 1999 in Moore, Oklahoma there was a documented F6 tornado, the largest ever recorded, over a mile in diameter.

[jdprice455]

sorry but it wasnt an f6 it was an f5

[BerriessnCreamm]

It was an F6. Again, I will say, that it is classified as that because of its unheard of windspeed and horrible destruction. It was the most powerful tornado EVER recorded. Even my meteorology teacher at OU says it is. Yeah thats right, I live in Norman.

[jdprice455]

Then he is the only one who said it was and f6 every tornado expert said it was just an ef5 if that was an f6 it would have wiped out EVERYTHING duh im not stupid i know for a fact that is not an f6 in that case how come they still refer it as the deadliest F5 not F6

[BerriessnCreamm]

Thats dumb, F6 is just another step in the ladder, not some apocalyptic tornado from hell, where do you get that? And who is they? There are both experts who say it is an F5 and there are those who say F6, either do not get credit, its just a scale.

[jdprice455]

You wouldnt see F6 damage for one since that kind of wind would be in a small area hidden by wind damage from the f5 winds

[BerriessnCreamm]

1999 May 3: Bridge Creek/Moore, OK

The strongest tornado ever recorded moved through the Oklahoma City suburbs of Bridge Creek and Moore in the late afternoon hours. This tornado killed 38 people and injured hundreds. The tornado's path was judged to be more than a mile wide at times. A Doppler radar On Wheels(DOW) team measured a 318 mph wind speed in this tornado, the highest measured wind speed ever recorded

within a tornado.

[BerriessnCreamm]

The National Weather Service was able to give Moore residents 35 minutes warning lead time on

this tornado. Total damages exceeded $1.1 billion.

[LovetorockJG]

Dude there is no such thing as an F6 no matter how big, how bad, and how destructive it gets. The Fujita scale only goes up to 5.

[BerriessnCreamm]

Incorrect. It can go higher, its just steps in the ladder, there is no cap.

[jrfanmania]

Actually there is. on the new ef scale the

ef5 category was left open-ended

[BerriessnCreamm]

Thats why the system fails. Open-ended does not give the justice some tornados deserve. System is broke, May 3rd 1999 tornado is an F6. Period.

[Avataer]

the fujita skala can go up to F12 ->higher speed unreachable due to the fact that wind cant be faster than sound

[LilMissFoxy316]

omg

wow

[T4Teddy24]

omfg, that musta been an F-5 or an F-4 tornado, that is what they are rated by damage like hurricanes

[MASoulChild85]

tornadoes have to be more destructie than hurricanes though i think..

[Lovestragedies]

hurricanes can contain tornadoes..

[jdprice455]

no they dont hurricanes last longer and do way more damage and they can spin off tornadoes

[derekjeterscat2]

the cars are like f**k this

[xstrawberr1ex]

HOLY FUKKEN SHIT MAN ! aweh i feel bad for that car comming towards the dude haha must of been scared shitless

[goroshkaKate]

THAT IS SO BIG!!!WOW!!!

[MichaelRox4770]

OMG! THAT'S A HUUUUUUGE TORNADO!!

[chargerfish93]

what was that like a F4?

[fleshysmell]

What do you say when you're passing by that in your vehicle?? lol

[ThePress00]

what a huge mother fucker tornado

1:01

the cars face[XD] it´s looks

omfg, we need 2 go SO fucking away~!

[gxnbrbvd]

d**n thats HUGE 300 YARDS wide O_O

[crochetbeat]

LAMO

cars are like speeding righ paseed them

LAMO

[lordjuul7]

an f5?

[argenchinos]

este video vale la pena verlo

[Mimi1243]

the cars are like, running away, all freaked out. SPEEDING. :D

[Sinika28]

thats a beastly tornado

[yamahadrummer80]

damn thats a beast

[joydivstellar]

thats just plain scary. the sirens are creepy too.

[ladfan38]

This tornado was an F4 it basically destroyed the small town Happy, along interstate 27 between Amarillo and Lubbock Texas and killed many people that day.

[BitterCycle]

That was huge.

[MissMnoe]

What A Big Tornado, Damn

[LethalCitation]

unfortuantely nobody here payed attention in science... the Tornado forms from the funnel cloud and before it hits the ground the cold air is pushed up!

[Agold2112]

Unfortunately neither did you... tornadoes can form from the ground up, as in a landspout tornado. Also, if cold air was pushed up, the storm would die, as it would be undercut by the cold air. way to be wrong and cocky.

[LethalCitation]

it looks like an F5

[xlucas15xx]

Dude that's not a tornado....tornadoes don't start at the ground and work there way up they start at the top and work there way down and also if it is a tornado then that is so fucked up man like that is so weird but the second part when they are chasing it, it looks more like a tornado there....

[jgk2310]

True but you normally don't see the funnel until it reaches the ground, at which time dust and debris is swirled into the funnel and it takes shape. The exceptions are when rain or hail descends from the cloud with the funnel.
