I read the book "Death rides the sky" about the Tri-State tornado of 1925. One of the first responders in Murphysboro, IL that day found a human liver attached to a flag pole at a school. I can't even fathom that.

Most unsettling for me is Jarrel and second most is Greensburg. It was like they had a vendetta against a certain community.
Third is whatever was that mile wide tornado I saw (around 2010) on the news as a kid. Still not sure which tornado it was, but the footage of it with the anchor explaining it was a mile wide has stayed with me. If I saw that footage again, I’ll know I’d recognize it.
It was the moment I got a rational phobia of tornados

EDIT: It was the 2008 Parkersburg Tornado. As I expected, the imagery in my memory matched the footage.

Both my mother and father lived in Elkhart, Indiana during the 1965 Palm Sunday tornado outbreak. The infamous photo of the twin tornadoes, my parents seen that when they were teenagers. My mom said it was the scariest thing she ever witnessed in her life.

A tornado that left me unsettled was the recent Mayfield tornado, because I watched it unfold live on Ryan Hall's stream and on radar. I saw the damage reports and photos that followed and it was devastating overall. Great video btw.

One crazy storm that (understandably) gets often overlooked in the most powerful of all time due to the year it occurred in was the May 24, 2011 Piedmont, OK EF-5. Had a measured wind speed of 295+ mph, but imo has one of the most extreme cases of tornado damage ever recorded when a nearly 2 million pound oil tanker was blown over and rolled multiple times. I can't even fathom the strength of air necessary to do that, the only other somewhat comparable single damage instance that comes to mind is the "F4" that occurred in Russia on June 8, 1984 when a crane weighing over 700k pounds was picked up and tossed. Just some more nightmare fuel for you in case you were getting a few too many peaceful hours in under the moon :)

The disaster that happened in Bangladesh in 1989 is saddening beyond words. Thank you for yet another excellent video covering some of the worst tornadic events in recorded history.

If you ever decide to do an earthquake, I would love to hear your take on the Bakersfield, CA quake of 1952. That region often doesn't get the same empathy that bay area and LA disasters do, largely because of the type of people who have lived there (farmers and immigrants). The empathy you show got victims of natural disasters is unique, and I so appreciate the attention you show underrepresented communities around the world.

I've been in an EF3 tornado, very scary and surreal. I literally felt the air circulate around me.

[LRamaekers]

Being from Nebraska I remember the Pilger tornadoes and in fact I actually saw the damage and it was crazy to me that something like this happens

Hey Carly.... Glad to see that you have your own YouTube channel. I first heard about you when you were working behind the scenes on Ryan Hall's channel. I think the content that the two of you do meshes together so well. While he is focused on the here and now, you focus on analysis and history of past tornadoes. A perfect combination!
BTW, the sound on this vid is excellent. I could hear every word.
I still find it amazing how calm and serene you remain, even when you are talking about some of the most horrifying tornadoes. I also like that you are not just focused on the U.S.! I was unaware of the Bangladesh tornado. What a tragic event! The people of that country are barely holding on the way it is, then a massive monster stomps through their country making things even worse. When you mentioned the death toll, my jaw dropped! Keep up the good work!

It never ceases to AMAZE me to know that a Tornado is VERTICALLY Descending Winds' Spinning HORIZONTALLY. That's simply Amazing!!

The Barneveld, WI F5 tornado (near Madison) in June of 1984 struck at night and leveled 80% of the town, including the entire business district. There are no photos or videos, and there was no on-air TV coverage. Nine people were killed. While most of the homes, and school, were rebuilt, the business district really never was. Driving through it today is bizarre as it’s mainly just homes. While its community spirit remains strong to this day, it’s a community that did seem to lose its soul. It’s nothing like it was prior to the storm.

In addition to no 6, here in Germany a strong ef2 tornado formed near the river Lippe and followed it almost perfectly. It then hit the heart of the town Lippstadt (68.000 inhabitants) after traveling roughly 15 miles. No deaths, no injuries.
The storm would then spawn another high end ef2 tornado which head right in the city of Paderborn (148.000 inhabitants) ~25 miles east of Lippstadt. No deaths, 40 injuries. Had these been more severe it would have been a big disaster.

So interesting fact about the Palm Sunday tornados. I was attending Goshen Middle School in the early 90s and had a science teacher, I believe his name was Mr. Wheeler. He had _so much information and photos_ of the Palm Sunday tornados and was a bit of a severe storm nut himself. I distinctly recall him showing a slide (for which he didn't have a printed photo of) that was supposedly taken inside one of these tornados. It was the weirdest photo I think I've ever seen but I could never _ever_ find reference to or the photo again. He also directed us to an address in Dunlap where there was still silverware embedded in a tree in the front yard from this event. The photo you showed is the most infamous, but I really think the Palm Sunday tornado event is an often forgotten event anymore. Probably because many of the people who lived through it are gone now or were so young, they don't remember much. Thank you for a wonderful video! You've quickly become one of my favorite channels.

I love watching your videos, tornadoes fascinate me. My kids say I'm obsessed with them, lol. Also liked seeing you take time to hold your cat even though you were in the middle of the video ❤

[moss_piglet]

I had no idea Bangladesh had such a serious issue with tornadoes, very informative.

[kplooki]

I will always be unsettled by the Joplin tornado. Even with today's advances and warning systems, a tornado of that magnitude can still hit populated areas with little warning. Always thought it was be a horrific tragedy if we had a similar tornado hit a very populated area like Chicago during rush hour where highways are essentially parking lots, aka killing fields for a violent tornado

You’re wonderful! Subbed ❤️. Huge passion for tornadoes and you’re amazing!

[jimmycoppinger]

Thanks Carly. You may find some interesting things with the May 9, 1927 event as this was a big outbreak. In Garland, TX, five members of a family (Smiley family) died as an F-5 cut a short path through the city. Their grave in the Mills Cemetery is said to be haunted. Nevada, TX, about 20 miles to the northeast of Garland was destroyed and hour or so before with only the first baptist church remaining intact. My grandad lived north of Nevada at Merit, TX and said that they went to the cellar 11 times that night.
