  • I remember this. I was in dance class when this happened. The power went out, and we were all sent home. When I ran to my grandpa's car, it was hailing, but where I lived, no tornado. Next day at school, our teacher showed us a picture of it.

  • I live in Erie and Ive seen funnels a few times never no tornadoes tho..

  • THANK YOU, YOU REALIZE THAT HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP IS A PART OF GREENSBURG.

  • 0:49 as if they havent seen it yet

  • Well in where i live never a tornado,... Not once.

  • BTW to all of you. A funnel cloud is STILL something to get excited about anyway especially in PA.

  • dude lol i was like i was like mom ita fucking tornado but i live in Sayre and there was a tornado 4 miles away it was scary and PA isnt in tornado alley thats what made me scared lol

  • dude lol i was like i was like mom ita fucking tornado but i live in Sayre and there was a tornado 4 miles away it was scary and PA isnt in tornado alley thats what made me scared

  • as am I, Robbz

  • PA people react to tornadoes like Japanese people react to Godzilla:)!

    Im one of them

  • What is it?

    

  • Seriously! I live in PA and if I saw a tornado I would be acting exactly the same as this guy lol. You just don't expect that sort of thing around here...

  • Yeah, we don't get tornadoes in PA and when we do, it's unbelievable. I'd probably would have acted the same way this guy did if I was there haha

  • It was actually a FUNNEL CLOUD!! I live amongst these Pennsylvania folks now (from Texas) and its amazing how many dont know the difference between the two and how many of the others are self proclaimed "experts" when it comes to severe weather LOL!! Either way, its cool to get excited about a funnel cloud, tornado, etc...I find them of the utmost fun and try to get out and see one when I can. Of course, up here the terrain is a lot more difficult to spot storms from. Good video.

  • @medicff0879 dude, if the funnel cloud is about half way to the ground, chances are it's ALREADY a tornado. 

  • @vice2vursa  not true it has to be completely on the ground for it to be considered a tornado

  • @kingjesus777 when they say a funnal cloud becomes a tornado when it hits the ground, they are not neccesarily talking about the fucking cloud. they are talking about the wind rotation. once the rotating wind touches the groud, ITs A TORNADO. ever heard of invisible tornadoes, they are rare tornadoes that form wind cycles that reach the ground before a funnel cloud can completely develop. clouds and debris only give the tornado it's visible form.

  • @vice2vursa is 100% correct about the wind rotation. Destruction can already be well under way with a tornado even when the funnel cloud hasn't fully formed. The wind is the whole reason the clouds are doing that. It would just be fluffy clouds without that super cell rotation. Imagine a fluffy cloud picking up your car and throwing it a few 100 yards lol.

  • @TheWildPiper thank you, its nice to have someone who knows about this issue back me up on this. you should reply to him as well

  • nick farrugia. ur a pussy. id shit in your cereal if given the chance u piece of shit. ur mom probly sucked u off in the school

  • Yep, my town always gets attention for embarrising things. 1st, sexting with an ugly girl than this tornado video. I'm not gonna lie though, its funny as hell.

  • i am from that area and yes that was a true tornado that caused some decent damage!Who says tornadoes dont happen in PA, the other day there was a record of 5 tornadoes in one day, within 2 hours!

  • Were you that scared? Chicken shit. You should have stayed out longer filming it instead of being like mr. 5-0 police officer 'get in the school' to your mom. dont film shit if your not experienced.

  • @necronic666 fuck you u faggot.

  • they are keep on saying it's a tornado it's a tornado blah blah blah..

  • Ummm... He's not overreacting. It's a tornado.

    And it's a good idea to get inside rather than to stay outside where you might be hit by debris or worse.

  • Look its a Tornado.

  • Hey guys guess what? It's a tornado!

  • are you sure its a tornado?

  • wait, is that a tornado? just asking. im kinda confused. ;)

  • holy shit half of my family lives in pennsylania

  • its not a tornado its a flying earthquake

  • @ShaDowclanpro lawl

  • Why do you people think it is funny how us "yinzers" react to this kind of stuff? Like seriously! I'd like to see how you react to your 1st tornado with hail the size of gulf balls. Ahahaa, That'd be hallarious! :D So, once you have your 1st tornado, make a video and post it and let me laugh a bit. K? Mmmmk.(:

    Oh and btw, We don't get tornados where we live. It's quite clear, You didn't know that.(;

  • Yinzers repeating themselves over and over again at the sight of a funnel cloud. Priceless.

  • he should film longer and i am from there

  • Im from burrell a few miles away actually lol we got some serious wind from you guys

  • Give 'em a break. Anyone who sees this unexpectedly would be in shock, even in Kansas.Plus, they did the right thing by heading indoors and alerting others. I know some people who were killed near Butler, in May 1985 in a tornado..

  • The reason he freaked is because we're not realy supposed to get tornados in pa! I also live in pa but I didnt see it. But that tornado wasnt far from my house!

  • Oh yeah Kansas and Oklahoma, at least we dont freak out with a 1/2 inch of snow!

  • It's really uncommon in PA.. But 13 years ago Johnstown PA had one and it ripped of our apartment building roof off.. But really nice job to get to safety..

  • Nick...well done....NOT an over reaction to a tornado in PA...you got people to safety....I live in KS and would have been screaming a lot louder than that!!! And I agree with MinmatarThrasher....never seen one that close, either, and have lived here all my life, as well.

  • Man you are so lucky to get to see one like that.

    I've lived in Tornado Alley my whole life and have only seen one when i was very young and don't have many memories of it.

    Consider yourself very lucky!

  • Wish u could've filmed it more, I'm from Pa and I would've I'm totally fasinating by these mosters.

  • i think theres a tornado or something...but i could be wrong.

  • Great video! How is this overreacting? It was a tornado, which is very uncommon in this part of PA. How would you react if you were in a tornado??...it passed right over us (irwin) and I never actually saw the funnel, but I was scared to death...it touched down about a mile from my house! So glad no one was hurt!

  • that was crazy

  • Haha. thank you for making my day!♥

  • GETTTTTTTTT IN THE SCHHOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL

    TORNNAAAADOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    

  • WOW! Great footage! Thanks for posting my daughter is in Greensburg and I was so worried. Glad everyone is OK.

  • im lucky that it didnt hit greene county.

  • Thank goodness nobody was killed. I live in PA too and we don't see tornados everyday. I was working in North Huntingdon when this was going on and that's about 30 minutes away from Greensburg where the tornado hit. We had hail and around 5:30 the sky went from green to pitch black. Day became night and we had no idea what was going on. We were told earlier there was a tornado watch and what was so amazing that despite what was going on customers were still shopping. Weird!

  • I would not say that Nick Farrugia overreacted. One should always regard the tornado with extreme caution and seek shelter. I would say that Nick reacted properly and wisely.

  • @vanhouten64 Good point.

  • i live in pa i was shitting myself lol i live in canonsburg winds were strong as hell did it ever kill anybody or destroy shit yo ?

  • i wonder what that funnel thing coming out that cloud is

  • This guy could be yall's new "tornado warning"! Give him a mega phone and let him run around the streets! "there's a tornado, there's a tornado, there's a tornado!"

  • So. . . so you're saying that it's a tornado?

  • @mournblade1066 Thank God you understand! Wasn't sure I was getting through...

  • @nickfarruggia Thank you for the video :)

  • I hope everyone is okay. My parents lived just miles from there a few years ago.

  • this was scary because there are never any tornadoes around here...so there is really no action or precautions one can take...your entirely at the mercy of the thing, not that people out west arent when the big ones hit but they are at least somewhat used to it and prepared.

  • @nickster105 I'm 40, and have lived my whole life in the Altoona area. I remember distinctly the "super outbreak" of 1985, in which an F5 was produced in western PA, making it THE most powerful tornado of the decade.

    I still roll my eyes when I hear idiots around here claim that "tornados never happen 'round here, because of the moun'ains." What b.s.

  • I wouldn't call that "overreacting".. but I am wondering why he had to point it out to other people. haha It took up some space.

  • Thanks for recording this and not freaking the fuck out.

  • Very scarey!! 

  • It's a tornado. It's a tornado. Look! It's a tornado.

    You people must be from Pennsylvania.

  • @squanto2 Im fromPennsylvania and hes saying that because tornadoes aren't common in Pennsylvania.

  • @squanto2 We are!

  • @squanto2 i am

  • @squanto2 lol so true

  • @squanto2 i live in pa too its like a .00001 % chance of getting a tornado dont troll on us fool

  • @600hich so do i but we just had like 4 yesterday dumbass so that .00001% chance is bull so shut up.

  • @squanto2 yeah we pennsylvanians don't get tornados much or at all so most of us would be pretty freaked out if we saw one.

  • @squanto2 HEY!SHUT UP!

  • Heard the roof got ripped off while in gym class :/

  • @diddiwick false. the tornado happened after school hours. at about 4ish or 5ish i think.

  • Hempfield got raped by that thing. It went right over where I go. MP

  • I saw it before I went into class at Pitt-Greensburg

  • i live near hgempfield and i dont think u peaple know, but the hempfiled highschool got hit, and the roof got ripped off.....they had no school the next day....good thing knowone was hurt

  • @fattyspinsuremom Yup my brother is in 11th grade there, (I graduated 2008). probably dont have school till sometime next week. It killed some buses. xD

  • i always tried to find a legitimate parking space when a tornado is coming. i would rather die than get a $5 parking ticket.

  • @joeyunity BEST. POST. EVER.

  • @joeyunity nooo i would rather found a parking space then fu*k dieing u most be freaking NUT'S

  • i wish this kept going lol

  • I am mystified why he or someone didn't tell someone in charge of the school to sound a warning if the school had such a system. Maybe he did.

  • He says*

  • At 0:47 he's get in the school, there's a tornado and someone say no shit xD

  • can you call kim at fox 212-301-5407

  • I don't think he over reacted. I thought we were going to get hit by it here in connellsville but it just got windy for a few minutes and passed.

  • overreacting? uhhh..hello, its FUCKING DEATH!

  • Overreacting? I don't agree. You took the best appropriate action. Really refreshing to hear and see this. Kudos to you.

  • good eye. hope you are well. =)

  • I think Nick did what ANYONE would have done who lives in NW Pa where TORNADOS aren't common. Not only that, It would have freaked just about any normal human being out!...Glad no serious injuries from this bad storm, praying for those with loss of any kind.

  • @marmoa I live in NW Pa and I used to live in Eastern Pa. We actually get tornados more often than people think. We get them a lot, but often they don't last long because of all the mountains. We always know that when it starts to hail in warm weather to get the hell inside cause something nasty is coming our way. Also in Eastern Pa we get a lot of earthquakes. They are low in the scale, but still cause some damage.

  • I was driving in Murrisville and it was hailing so bad it was a white out, but I kept on driving

  • Not overreacting at all -- especially considering that it touched down and damaged the school. (I'm a '77 graduate of Hempfield, by the way.)

  • Wait wait wait, is that a tornado? I didn't here you the first 10 times. What is it?

  • whoa! OMG I graduated from that high school in 1987, I heard it was damaged. Nice video.

  • Niiiiice. This reminds me of the tornado back in 2007. I was sitting in Biology and WHOOSH tornado. Graduated since then, but HOLY COW TORNADO!!!! D=

  • @kitsunechan90 Heh heh, this reminds me--true story, now, but funny--of that time when I was sitting in biology class during the 9th grade, learning about how cells reproduce, and how pretty much every living organism on the planet is descended from a SINGLE. CELL. FROM. TWO. BILLION. YEARS. AGO.

    And twenty years later. . . BAM! Herpes.

  • @mournblade1066 LMAO, It's funny cause it's incurable =D!

  • what is it?

  • @leokasatonov it's a tornado

  • I don't think Nick overreacted. He did a good job taking leadership and telling people to get inside the school!

  • @flygirlosu Bwuahahaha! What are you--his mother?!? "He did a good job taking leadership"?!?!? Did you really WRITE that?

    If THAT is a demonstration of leadership, then I should be awarded the g******ed Congressional Medal of Honor.

  • @mournblade1066 Yeah. This isn't leadership. This is me freaking out and running around with an iPhone. 

  • @mournblade1066

    No... sorry to say you should not be awarded with a medal of honor. You show zero attributes of good leadership. Sorry... but you went there first.

    And no... I'm not his mother. I've never met him. But I do train leaders so I can tell who has the skill and who does not.

    And Nick- sometimes people in leadership situations "freak out"... that's OK. What is most important is you took charge and directed people to go inside.

  • What is it again?

  • theres a tornado. GET IN SCHOOL! 

  • omg im loving the response as he watches something that could kill him!! "omg it a tornado! omg its a tornado"

  • nick...You are also on the weather channel!!

  • We got alot of stuff from out of the sky here in South Greensburg from this. I just hop all were safe.

  • Glad that you got everyone to safety. I live in Pittsburgh and we didn't get the tornado but it wasn't pretty here. I drove through three hail storms today during this storm. Kind of freaky around 4:45 in Moon Township, it got really really dark. If people didn't know any better they would have thought it was night. I am glad that you got everyone to safety even though the roof is gone. I also agree not over reacting actually you were being proactive. Kudos Nick.

  • Uh yeah, that's not overreacting. As a person whose whole hometown was ripped up by a tornado, I'd say you had some good sense to get your ass inside. You don't live through one of those if you're just standing outside staring at it when it hits.

  • Nice video dude saw it on kdka also

  • Im glad your okay! :D Even though I dont know you!

  • so uh the sad part is the school is more dangerous considering the roof came off....lol

  • Um, that would be UNDERreacting. But glad you were safe.

  • Wow... I don't think this is overreacting I think this is a smart young man who had enough sense to know what he was seeing and to instruct others to get inside to safety. I hope no one was injured when the roof was blown off. Kudos to you, Nick!

  • Considering part of the roof is now gone, I don't think you're overreacting at all. Hope you and company are ok.

  • Nick I can't believe this was your video! Smart thinking! Hope everything is okay.

    -Declan

  • That was amazing video, Nick. Very well done. Overreacting? Absolutely not!!

  • awesome nick

    

  • Speaking as someone who has more than once lived through tornadoes that have killed others , I don't think you were overreacting here.

  • I don't think he's overreacting. I think him cautioning other folks to get inside is right to do.

  • Totally not an overreaction. Nice job1

  • You're a smart kid Nick!
