steady cam, only light talking,excellent filming! now that was a great example of what its like to be in a tornado. i will pass on that, damn nature you scary.
Some of the safest buildings in the world are steel beam reinforced concrete buildings. They're specially designed to withstand hurricane force winds in excess of 200mph and are available through certain companies to be built in any area where high winds, hurricanes, or tornadoes are a common threat. Safe rooms - when buildings are designed with them - are often made this way, placed in the middle of houses or businesses or built as full basements.
@MrPaperclip82 No, Oklahoma makes much of the worlds bricks actually, and Oklahoma is right in the middle.
They are all brick now. (the new non custom ones atleast) but being someone whos been hit by tornados, they often cause a ton of damage (the bricks can all collapse off a building and it'll cause the house to collapse forward)
I am so surprised you haven't had more hits. Really this is one amazingly close call for your family. You probably have saved alot of lives. We here in Australia dont have tornadoes or so we thought. Since 2000 we have had at least ten. One close to my house in Adelaide. I always think of this video. Thankyou. You [probably have your own family now. Keep looking up.
I am so glad you guys are ok, I know how it feels i went trough the same on April's 27 when the Tornadoes Hit Alabama, I live in Alabama and thank God my family and I survive, am glad you guys are ok as well.
I am so glad you guys are ok, I know how it feels i went trough the same on April's 27 when the Tornadoes Hit Alabama, I live in Alabama and thank God my family and I survive, am glad you guys are ok as well.
I'm happy you're okay too, you're in my prayers I just thought it was worse than it was I read the description wrong you see. I thought it said you lost your "parents" instead of "pants". I'm glad everything is good. God Bless
Wow I felt like I was in the room with you guys! How scary you must of felt! I am so grateful you guys were safe and made it through this. Oh my gosh! It happened so fast!
Oh my goodness! That's crazy!! You are so fortunate that you ran down in the basement at that point. (next time don't wait so long). Can't believe the damage. Wow. Glad you're all ok. Too bad it ruined your house and the trees and the other houses. :( Hope it never happens again.
It takes F3 winds to shift a good house off its foundation. That said it's amazing that all they lost were the garages and windows, and no roofs or anything inside the houses.
Really cool vid! Sorry you had to rebuild, but it is amazing to me how wonderful you and your family are! You all kept calm, kept from using profanity and were amazingly optimistic. I pray rebuilding goes quickly and that you are all kept sage from the next ones, as God wills.
@gray2332 Did you mean Canadians?Because,If so LEARN HOW TO SPELL DUMB**S BEFORE YOU INSULT SOMEONE ELSE! And how would YOU like it if you had a Tornado hit YOUR house and someone left a bit**y comment on their videos saying: HA HA STUPID CANIDANS!You're just so sad!
I think the week or two after that event it was like the last week in March we were vacationing 100 miles outside our home in Dallas and it poured rain every single freakin' day until the day we had to leave and then it was sunny. We should have postponed.
A tornado also hit Cordova on April 27th of this year. Did you hear about it? It was on the same day as the tornado that hit Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, Alabama so it didn't get much coverage.
I think i lost my pants pants, things do not look good, things would be crazy and i lost my pants. Dont judge a book by a cover thats wat u told me. If a book is called no pants i dont wanna read it.
@Lampofilm Yeah But, How Did You Take It If You Got Hit? i Mean Is That Possibal?... Lol Comon Dude .... Woops Sorry... ,Yeah I live In Alabama ... And A Tornado Went Through Here... It Was Like , 3 Tornado's Put Together!..... it was Really Bad Dude! Type in Alabama Tornado at The Top. And in April 2011! i Swear It Was Bad!
@Jar3D226 If you look at the date that this was recorded and at the date the film was actually uploaded you will see there is an 18 year difference so you should be able to work it out :)
@Jar3D226 dude, all u do is take the camera with u downstairs....not that hard...and plus he probably took everything he needa before the tornado <.< think
Hello,I'm sorry about your garage! I'm glad y'all are ok! I lost my house in the April, 27, 2011 tornado. I lost my house completely, the only thing left was the basement wall behind us! I'm just really glad y'all are ok!!!!
I always wonder; are the houses built out of flimsy wood because they get destroyed by tornadoes so often and therefore easy to replace, or are they destroyed by tornadoes so often because they're built of flimsy wood? To test, I must build a stone house in Tornado Alley with 1m thick walls of pure rock.
That sucks man. I always worry about the same thing happening here everytime there's a severe thunderstorm warning. I've had "tornado dreams" ever since I was a little kid. Never seen one for real. Never want to.
@Paynekillah Me too. I think the dreams are a way of your subconscious telling you you're afraid because I have the biggest fascination with tornadoes, but every dream about them I am terrified. I think deep down thats my worst fear.
