Jarrell Texas Tornado Raw News Footage

I was born the same hour it touched down. ^_^

This was one of the worst tornadoes in history. I'm fairly sure what caused it to intensify was a "gravity wave" - Dr. Tim Coleman from UAH is the expert on those. Brian Peters who helped survey this thought it perhaps deserved an F6 rating - and most bizarre of all, it moved BACKWARDS - northeast to southwest! Crazy stuff!

You're right. Some believe that the Jarrell tornado started as a landspout and became attached to the meso as the storm continued to backbuild due to the gravity waves. I've got links to the data if you want them message me.

Wow, that thing was moving very fast.

I heard 27 people died in this storm. half where children and some cases entire families killed.

There is one thing i don't understand, If experts advised that people without storm sheltures should take shelture in closets or bathrooms, why did some people still die?

@Doubutsu1000
When the tornado mysteriously intensified before hammering Double Creek Estates (some think this had to do with a gravity surge), it was so intense that most homes were literally left as slab foundations. So anyone anywhere who had been in a house affected in that manner stood no chance.

there's no way this is Jarrell TX F5 that hit there was more than a mile wide....I know, me and my german shepherd had clean up duty the next day.

Nope, this is the Jarrell tornado just after it touchedown. It was this small a skinny towards the beginning of it's life cycle. After a few minutes it mysteriously transformed into the large tornado that you mentioned.

cool thats awsome when he zoomed up you can see how fast its going 5 stars

damn interstate 35 looks so different here!!
