Big budget movies: We have excellent cgi
The Weather Chanel: Hold my natural disasters

If the tornado looks like its not moving, *its coming towards you.*

The size doesn't matter bit is ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE. Canada's only F5 was incredibly small. People were watching it and joking around until it tossed a house and shredded a grain silo.

The fact that he remains calm after he’s had 3 life-or-death experiences in a matter of minutes shows he means business

[atomquark]

Ok so that guy is totally doomed, he's not in a grey circle

[marshallmathers]

Hollywood: I have the best cgi!

The weather channel: hold my hurricane

Edit: why are yall unliking my comment this was a year ago lol

[devilsukki]

Who ever edited this is a absolute legend, it’s so wicked. That probably took SO long!

"No one in America is safe from the threat of tornadoes". That sent chills down my spine.

*Car slams into ground*
*Jim realizes it's his car*
*"YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME"*

The Weather Channel : Where did our entire budget go?
The CGI guy : Good question.

This particular 8-minute video is worth more than million-page books, thousand-minute speeches, and billions of photos/images. It's been 5 years and I haven't seen a better one yet. Brilliant work.

This is how the natural disasters should be taught in schools.

I've got to say, I have always been a huge weather nerd and these people did an outstanding job at putting together this simulator. I pay my respects to these people who help keep us safe from the forces of nature. Going to what they said about "Size doesn't matter", size really doesn't matter. If we go back to the Oklahoma City Tornado in 1999, the tornado wasn't always a huge, scary, wedge tornado. I've seen parts where it was more of a rope tornado or a stovepipe tornado. And yet, that tornado had the strongest tornado winds in history (300+ MPH) and severe damage.

Honestly, the CGI/AR is pretty good, considering this isn't a big movie studio.

Also be sure to note:
Just because the siren turns off DOES NOT mean that the threat has passed!! Sirens are designed to only run for 3 minutes at a time. Stay in shelter even if the siren has turned off.

“BABE THERES A TORNADO”
“Hold up lemme grab the invincibility circle”

[badpiggies]

“innermost and lowest room of your house, as far from the outside as you can”

Reddit users: I see this as an absolute win

[maximum_axiom]

When you pause the video and the sirens don't stop

[Nunteahauhnar]

Even the flex tape guy won't be able to fix that

[Wld.Cyt]

I been learning about tornadoes a lot and I don’t really know how big tornados can get but this makes sense now. thank you ❤

This is the greatest display of the Fujita scale I ever seen. This reminds of the Twister ride in Disney world. Great video 🌪
