Largest tornado ever recorded in regards to wind speeds. Alabama and Joplin were not as large as this one but the damage was worse because of number of deaths and severity of damage. I live in NW OKC and yesterdays tornado that hit El Reno and Piedmont was about 10-15 min away from me. I watched it cross NW expressway from where I was. Fascinating but so deadly!
@dino73112 You're right about the size factor between Alabama, Joplin, and OKC in '99. I don't think there's ANY tornado that could match the immense size of the OKC tornado. Who knows what would've happened if debris balls were spotted on radar back in 1999...
May 3rd, 1999 74 tornadoes touched down across two states in less than 21 hours. At one point, there were as many as four tornadoes reported on the ground at the same time. The strongest tornado, rated a maximum F-5 on the Fujita Tornado Scale, tracked for nearly an hour and a half along a 38-mile path from Chickasha through south Oklahoma City and the suburbs of Bridge Creek, Newcastle, Moore, Midwest City and Del City; 46 dead, 800 injured, 8000 homes. Total property damage of $1.5 bil.
@necienay13 correction, this tornado was believed to have maxed out at 318 MPH cuz that was the maximum speed of an F5 tornado and an F6 was unfathomable. the Fujita scale measured the speed of a tornado based on damage caused, but it was a flawed method. this tornado is the only one in recorded history that is believed to be a F6 tornado, and was the reason for the Fujita Scale to be adjusted. so this is the largest tornado in history, but the worst tornado in history financially was in STL, MO
@ps3or360idontknow The April 27 outbreak in the south surpassed this tornado as the costliest outbreak in U.S. history, just like Katrina surpassed Andrew as the costliest hurricane in U.S. history.
Also, the May 3, 1999 infamous outbreak in Oklahoma and Kansas killed between 40 and 50 people, while the April 26-28 outbreak killed 350! The Joplin, Missouri tornado of May 22, 2011 also killed more than this tornado outbreak on 5-3-99.
@ILovestorms thats what i just said. i said "THIS" tornado is the strongest and has the fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth and then i said its not the largest outbreak.
@ps3or360idontknow Fine. I'm not saying that this (5/3/1999) F5 tornado did not have the fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth but I am not sure it was the strongest. Strongest ever recorded, yes, but there are many other F5 tornadoes that rival this one that may have had stronger winds, just not winds that were recorded. Tri-State, 1925, Xenia, Ohio, April 3, 1974 (Super Outbreak), among some.
@ILovestorms the tri state was recorded. the xenia ohio was an f4. the tri state was in the mid 200mph and the xenia ohio well was also in the mid 200mph.
@ps3or360idontknow Wrong! The Tri-State tornado occurred all the way back in 1925 and it wasn't even photographed, let alone its winds recorded by a DOW radar, which didn't exist in 1925, nor did that exist in 1974. The wind speed in the May 3, 1999 tornado was measured by the Doppler On Wheels radar at 318, 32 meters above the ground, adjusted to 301 mph at ground level. Xenia, Ohio WAS an F5 in 1974. I am a weather enthusiast (as you can tell by my username) and I know my weather facts!
it was the first ever recorded F6 do your digging a little bit deeper. I'm from Oklahoma and this was such a tragic disaster. It was pulling grass out of the ground and people out of their storm shelters. Want to keep calling it an F4 w/ sporadic F5 damage? Because that is false.
The fact that I wasn't there only means that I can't connect with it on a personal/emotional level. The data provided by the NWS survey is plenty to know it on a purely factual level.
That's because a tornado does not produce its peak winds along its entire damage path.
Even the official report for this tornado said it produced "widespread F4 damage [houses leveled] with sporadic F5 damage [houses swept away]."
And I have studied the Enhanced Scale as well, that actually provides lower wind estimates for EF4 and EF5 damage levels, with EF5 winds being >200 mph, rather than 261-318.
Pennsylvania, actually. But that does not mean I haven't studied the Fujita scale extensively. What I mean to say is that based on the wind estimates of the scale a 302 mph wind would completely obliterate just about any structure. If a building is already completely gone, how much more damage would it take from the winds being ~9% faster?
Josh Wurman is a storm chaser and the inventor of the D.O.W. (Doppler On Wheels), which is currently the best device for measuring winds inside a tornado. And again, 302 or 327 would make little to no difference in damage as such winds would cause complete destruction in either case. Though, in truth, there was a margin for error on the measurement of +/- 20 to 25 mph, so 327, might have occurred.
I never said the upper limit of F5 was 302, I said that was what was measured. And yes, 302 would be a record: before this the fastest winds recorded were in the 270-280 mph range (Red Rock, OK April 26, 1991). And again, although Gary England may have reported that such winds were recorded, Josh Wurman was the one who was out there with the D.O.W. Though I do have 2 ideas how the 327 figure may have mistakenly stated.
It took me over three hours to get home, all of the roads filled with people trying to get to the hospital, no lights at all. Cops had the interstate shut down, we weren't even allowed to try to get home that path. Hours of sitting in line at stop signs behind traffic while frightening clouds went over. If another tornado came out we would have been trapped like rats, no one would move on for all the starring at the damage, not caring others behind them wanted to get home to their loved ones.
I have dreams about things like Tornadoes,hurricains like 3-2times a week. Now I hear that England is getting A little one ? I wanna cry :( Even doe It probs wont hit derby. The most exciting thing here is the ice cream :P
When I was a kid in the 1960's, there was just a handfull of tornado tornado films. Now, you can spend all day looking at them on Youtube. Pretty amazing.
If i were in that car i would be shitting myself what these guys do is amazing i couldent do it but i thank the people who risk there lives to get this amazing footage you are truly heros
@dsd313 I doubt you truly want to experience something to this extent. I was 8 years old on a field trip in OKC that day and I just about kissed the ground in Tulsa when we got home later. Too close of a call and too many lives lost, I thank God I wasn't one of those poor souls. Kudos to the highway patrolmen who were in charge of I-44 that day.
Amazingly, Cows were standing in the gorged out barren path that the tornado took. I was wondering, How they survived when the grass they had been standing on was ripped from the roots in a huge swirlish pattern, and the roadway that had been picked up ran alongside the fence that held them in... Lucky Cows!
@thepain321 Tornadoes are so crazy. My mother's house was destroyed in the May 8th, 2003 tornado (almost same path) and she had 20-25 coffee mugs above her kitchen cabinets (hole roof gone), that were never moved.
I was there for this one and the one that hit the same day the next year that was nearly identical in path and size... I've seen several, living here all my life, this one was crazy powerful. To understand, It sucked the grass and dirt up along its path, I WAS TOO CLOSE, I saw where It picked up the Whole Concrete Width of a road and had in leaned against another piece like a triangular "A" shape, About 20 feet tall. You could walk beneath the broken road if you wanted to..
i remebr when this hit ok and ark i was around 7 and i remeber hearing alot of loud ass noise and my mom screaming, i was told we were very lucky living where we were at,ppls dont move to ark or oklahoma worst storms u will see.
The original F-scale (no longer in use) went from F0 to F12 (F0 being the weakest tornadoes and F12 being wind speeds of Mach 1). However, in reality, there's no way to distinguish anything above F5 because F5 damage is total devastation, with structures swept clean from their foundations; therefore, nothing above F5 was ever used in practice. In 2008, the US and Canada, went over to the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which only goes from EF0 to EF5 and is based on engineering instead of estimation
@lucakiss70 i am not sure if an actual F8 tornado has been recorded yet, but if you search for a pic of an F8 tornado it will bring you to a website......there you will see that it says that the tornado intensity scale has been expanded from F6 to F8 in anticipation of global warming.
Folks can talk about how high the wind speeds of this tornado were, however you can replace material things! So for pure loss of life the tri-state tornado is by far the worst it could have possibly had even more powerful winds than this tornado it was larger thats for sure!
This one was such a monster. And so well documented. The only ones that are even in the same league with it are Xenia, OH 4/3/1974, Greensburg, KS 5/4/2007 and Andover, KS 4/26/1991.
@dragonridley The "Tri-State" tornado of 1925 is the one you are referring to. Yes all accounts of that one were of what fits the description of an F5 tornado in several places. Not to mention the fact that it was the longest-track single tornado on record. I guess the reason I neglected to include that one was not because it wasn't a beast of a tornado, but rather because accounts of it are so sketchy as opposed to the types of documentation we have for the more modern-age ones.
@jd44911 Look at the date in which it was posted: Oct 2007. So, yes, it was never seen before then. So let's do the math, shall we? In three years, how many hits has this vid gotten? That's right! over 120,000. There's your sign!
@jd44911 IT WAS NEVER SHOWN ON THE NEWS(MEDIA)... YOU KNOW IT WONT HURT YOUU TO USE YOUR BRAIN ON THE DAILY BASIS CUZ MINE HURTS RIGHT NOW... JUST FOR ANSWERING YOU
nice footage,,but ur not the only chaser that got this i know several chasers who got the same view as u also filmed the whole outbreak,i have there dvd to prove it.
Free falling back to earth from the sky is around 200 mph, the wind of this tornado was 318 mph !!! You couldn't fall from the sky back to earth fast enough to escape this one!!!! 0.o
This storm is the reason I still can't do thunderstorms very well. I was in Midwest City at the time, the neighborhoods around me were totally gone...
In an F5 their is multiple tornadoes so not all houses get the full force If you have no basement get in a bath. if all the people make a run for it they will get in a traffic jam and being in a car is worse than laying down in your bath or laying in your garden.
I don't think it would be accurate to say that all F5 tornadoes have multiple vortices. Though, as F5's go, I don't think such a structure is uncommon.
This was a scary day in Oklahoma. I was fortunate enough to be just far enough east and south of Oklahoma City that the storm had lost a lot of its punch by the time it got near us.
why are the weathermen not warning the people in Moore to get out of their homes if they do not have a basement? You cannot survive an F5 tornado (direct hit) without a basement! There will be nothing left and you will die or be seriously mangled. I don't understand it. Don't tell the people to hide in their pathetic closets as an F5 monster closes in! Have them drive out of the tornados path to a safer district of the city.
Because trying to flee your homes is a bad idea as well. Especially for the majority of people who don't understand storm motion and structure. You have a better chance of of surviving by taking shelter than trying to run from one of those beasts.
@jg300gman No, dude... Not a good idea... People would panic. All those people would then clog the streets, cause accidents and make the overall situation worse than it already is. Then, once all those people are out on the street, where are they supposed to go from there? Don't forget, a large percentage of tornado-related deaths occur in vehicles...
@jg300gman I agree a little; but NEVER drive out of the tornado's path, if there's a f5 your car is gonna get hit by another car, either by driving, or by a missle thrown by the tornado.
It's best to hide in a bathtub or a closet and pray to God you have a mattress and go get it.
There's a few times where a closet is helpful; although I won't reccomend it unless you're like, some guy with no basement or bathroom o.x;
listen- many of the houses in a 5-F and especially in one like the Moore tornado the house is swept away and only the FOUNDATION slab of cement is left! So how would you survive in a bathtub or closet? They would go flying through the air like everything else. A storm cellar or basement is best...although one person was killed in the Moore tornado who was sheltered in a storm cellar.
@jg300gman I disagree with you, and I can because my house was hit by the tornado on may 3rd, '99. I lived in Del City, next to Tinker Air Force Base near Sunnylane.
@jg300gman My house was picked up off the slab, turned and set back down. Our front door was then facing my neighbor's house. But our house wasn't "swept away", in fact, almost every outside caved in, except for my room where my walls fell out. Our neighbor's truck was picked up, apparently, and went through our house, knocking out some of the inner walls and closets. The hallway, along with parts of each bathroom (1 full bathroom, and a half bath),
@jg300gman and parts of the kitchen. Just because it is large, does not mean you cannot survive it. The reason for being in a central closet (no closets that have outside walls) is so you can put as many walls in between you and the high speed winds as possible. Bathtubs, as people learned from may 3rd, are not safe at all.
I lived in Moore when this happened. I was 17 and we lived right off of 12th street where the path of the tornado came through. I seriously thought I was going to die. We had no basement and were huddled in a hallway with matresses over us. we were listening to the radio and the tornado distorted the sound to where it sounded like we were listening to a foreign language. Also, as we were in the eye it was so calm it was erie...I will never forget this day.
we lived on 15th, right next to I-35, had to go to an elementary 2 blocks down b/c they had an underground basement. my wife's aunt's house was 119 sw, and their house got destroyed. remember watchin this on tha news, and it kept gettin bigger as it approached.....im oraginally from NC, this was the scariest thing i had ever seen...i did see it, that fucking thing was huge! still pray for tha families that lost someone (think it was 44)
awsomegirl ur lucky and im glad u and ur family/house didnt get harmed cuz tornadows arent predictible they might go 1 way then bullet the other way so u got real lucky.
yeah tornadoes are odd i lived in witchita at the time tornado hit us at the same day ripped apart our garage but the house didnt get a scratch on it and my bike didnt even move at all and a huge tree was ripped out but our little tree was fine
The Fujita scale is a 13 level scale, going from F-0 to F-12. The reason that F-6 tornadoes are currently considered impossible is because the Fujita scale is based on damage, not windspeed. An F-5 tornado is from 262 mph winds to 318 mph winds. These winds level everything in it's path. If everything is already gone, obviously nothing else can be destroyed. That's why F-6 tornadoes are impossible as of right now.
if its never seen then why does it have 178 thousand views :)

The original F-scale (no longer in use) went from F0 to F12 (F0 being the weakest tornadoes and F12 being wind speeds of Mach 1). However, in reality, there's no way to distinguish anything above F5 because F5 damage is total devastation, with structures swept clean from their foundations; therefore, nothing above F5 was ever used in practice. In 2008, the US and Canada, went over to the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which only goes from EF0 to EF5 and is based on engineering instead of estimation
LetsDoIt4Johnny1 1 year ago
the tornado intensity scale has been expanded from F6 to F8:
F0 40-72 mph Weak Weak
F1 73-112 mph Moderate Moderate
F2 113-157 mph Significant Significant
F3 158-206 mph Severe Severe
F4 207-260 mph Devastating Devastating
F5 261-318 mph Incredible Incredible
F6 319-379 mph Inconceivable Mind-boggling
F7 380-460.5 mph Unthinkably Staggering
F8 460.6-525 mph Unimaginably Stupendous

@lucakiss70 i am not sure if an actual F8 tornado has been recorded yet, but if you search for a pic of an F8 tornado it will bring you to a website......there you will see that it says that the tornado intensity scale has been expanded from F6 to F8 in anticipation of global warming.

Folks can talk about how high the wind speeds of this tornado were, however you can replace material things! So for pure loss of life the tri-state tornado is by far the worst it could have possibly had even more powerful winds than this tornado it was larger thats for sure!

What about 3/18/1925?
dragonridley 1 year ago
@dragonridley The "Tri-State" tornado of 1925 is the one you are referring to. Yes all accounts of that one were of what fits the description of an F5 tornado in several places. Not to mention the fact that it was the longest-track single tornado on record. I guess the reason I neglected to include that one was not because it wasn't a beast of a tornado, but rather because accounts of it are so sketchy as opposed to the types of documentation we have for the more modern-age ones.

In an F5 their is multiple tornadoes so not all houses get the full force If you have no basement get in a bath. if all the people make a run for it they will get in a traffic jam and being in a car is worse than laying down in your bath or laying in your garden.

I don't think it would be accurate to say that all F5 tornadoes have multiple vortices. Though, as F5's go, I don't think such a structure is uncommon.

This was a scary day in Oklahoma. I was fortunate enough to be just far enough east and south of Oklahoma City that the storm had lost a lot of its punch by the time it got near us.
bison1203 2 years ago
why are the weathermen not warning the people in Moore to get out of their homes if they do not have a basement? You cannot survive an F5 tornado (direct hit) without a basement! There will be nothing left and you will die or be seriously mangled. I don't understand it. Don't tell the people to hide in their pathetic closets as an F5 monster closes in! Have them drive out of the tornados path to a safer district of the city.
jg300gman 2 years ago
Because trying to flee your homes is a bad idea as well. Especially for the majority of people who don't understand storm motion and structure. You have a better chance of of surviving by taking shelter than trying to run from one of those beasts.
halodudette 2 years ago
@jg300gman No, dude... Not a good idea... People would panic. All those people would then clog the streets, cause accidents and make the overall situation worse than it already is. Then, once all those people are out on the street, where are they supposed to go from there? Don't forget, a large percentage of tornado-related deaths occur in vehicles...
sixspeedGTO 2 years ago 2
@jg300gman I agree a little; but NEVER drive out of the tornado's path, if there's a f5 your car is gonna get hit by another car, either by driving, or by a missle thrown by the tornado.
It's best to hide in a bathtub or a closet and pray to God you have a mattress and go get it.
There's a few times where a closet is helpful; although I won't reccomend it unless you're like, some guy with no basement or bathroom o.x;
SpottedleafCCRVMK 2 years ago
listen- many of the houses in a 5-F and especially in one like the Moore tornado the house is swept away and only the FOUNDATION slab of cement is left! So how would you survive in a bathtub or closet? They would go flying through the air like everything else. A storm cellar or basement is best...although one person was killed in the Moore tornado who was sheltered in a storm cellar.
jg300gman 2 years ago
@jg300gman I disagree with you, and I can because my house was hit by the tornado on may 3rd, '99. I lived in Del City, next to Tinker Air Force Base near Sunnylane.
Sintheify 1 year ago
@jg300gman My house was picked up off the slab, turned and set back down. Our front door was then facing my neighbor's house. But our house wasn't "swept away", in fact, almost every outside caved in, except for my room where my walls fell out. Our neighbor's truck was picked up, apparently, and went through our house, knocking out some of the inner walls and closets. The hallway, along with parts of each bathroom (1 full bathroom, and a half bath),
Sintheify 1 year ago
@Sintheify - congrats that you and your family survivrd that beast! That is the main thing here....
jg300gman 1 year ago
@jg300gman and parts of the kitchen. Just because it is large, does not mean you cannot survive it. The reason for being in a central closet (no closets that have outside walls) is so you can put as many walls in between you and the high speed winds as possible. Bathtubs, as people learned from may 3rd, are not safe at all.

I lived in Moore when this happened. I was 17 and we lived right off of 12th street where the path of the tornado came through. I seriously thought I was going to die. We had no basement and were huddled in a hallway with matresses over us. we were listening to the radio and the tornado distorted the sound to where it sounded like we were listening to a foreign language. Also, as we were in the eye it was so calm it was erie...I will never forget this day.

The Fujita scale is a 13 level scale, going from F-0 to F-12. The reason that F-6 tornadoes are currently considered impossible is because the Fujita scale is based on damage, not windspeed. An F-5 tornado is from 262 mph winds to 318 mph winds. These winds level everything in it's path. If everything is already gone, obviously nothing else can be destroyed. That's why F-6 tornadoes are impossible as of right now.
MaddenMMA2009 2 years ago 4
As of now the Fujita scale has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale which only goes up to EF5.
btw how do you do more damage to a house that has already been erased from its foundation?

Destroying the foundation itself?
