Funny you should say that, im watching this video because of today's tornado. Both sirens are creepy as fuck.

Watching this video, I thought it would be ok for people to just go up on their roofs.

Then the fucking buildings started moving 0.o

Lol, cameraman just keeps backing upstairs as the water gets higher

[Aldo Carrillo]

those the warning sirens like when there is going to be a tornado or something

Yea, water is dense, 1 ton per *cubic* meter, not square meter, but it's not incredibly heavy... For example Lead is close to 8 times denser than water, but as you said, water can be very destructive...

[grai]

water itself is incredibly heavy - every square meter of water weighs a ton which is why it moves cars so easily

like you say if I had been there at the beginning of the water arriving I would have thought "oh this isn't so bad..."

but watch for another 2 minutes and its already a terrifying sittuation

so many people probably died because they didn't realise how it was going to get dangerous very quickly and didn't have those prescious 2 minutes to escape - really frightening

but
