I just wanna say that your channel is literally PERFECT for my autism. nowhere else can i find this obscure brain-scratching information about tornadoes that's presented in an entertaining and easy to understand way. I love tornadoes so much and find them so fascinating and I'm glad there's a whole community of people who agree!

[samanthamoosesister]

April 2011 survivor here! It’s funny I’m even so interested in tornados still considering the worst storm trauma of my life was from that fateful day of April 17th. I lived in lower Tennessee so yeah right in the middle of it. I haven’t been able to hear of a tornado even being possible without freaking out. You did a nice little explanation on it! It’s hard for some others to understand how terrifying it truly was.

[quizchris]

I'm so glad there's a community out there obsessed with tornados... So many of us 90s kids growing up on Twister, Night of the Twisters and all those home movies compilation VHS tapes. Love this channel, one of the very very few I actually have set up to notify me when a video drops.

[clarity]

This guy doesn’t get the views he deserves. So well researched in all his videos. Great chill environment. Joplin survivor here the was he gently addressing hard subjects. I’ve been obsessed with tornadoes since I was a kid in Texas.

I actually just went up to Joplin today to take my girlfriend out to eat. It's crazy still how entire sections of the town look brand new because almost all the businesses and homes had to be rebuilt. I'll tell you this though, as someone who lived in Southwest Missouri in 2011, that tornado didn't hurt just Joplin. It devastated the entire area because Joplin was the primary place a lot of the people in smaller towns worked, went grocery shopping, did fun stuff etc. I'm not sure I have data to back it up, but it caused a lot of people, including my family, to have to move away from our smaller towns to find work elsewhere as well as just have a new center for commerce and fun. It was really sad.

[archie]

i live in florida and it’s super scary when a hurricane is happening and then you start to hear even more noise randomly, because you don’t know if it just got worse or if that’s a tornado coming straight at you

[UnbarablePain]

I can confirm the "sounds like a train" thing is totally real. I don't remember my first hit by a tornado as I was 4 years old other than the massive winds, but as an adult an EF2 has just dissipated a few miles before coming my way, and a new EF1 tornado had formed right on top of me and finally touched down a quarter mile away across the highway and moved for a couple miles, flipping over some cars.
As you said I had no chance of seeing the tornado except my TV broadcast going out just minutes before arrival and the swirling vortex above me moving to form touch down had this low, loud, roar that can only be described as a fast locomotive passing by.

[smileyfacemc]

I’m so happy this channel exists. When I was a little kid, I was obsessed with tornados, asking what they did to various objects, and no one really ever gave me much info. This channel is the “grown up actually sits down and talks to me” moment that I needed all those years ago, and I really appreciate it. You definitely deserve those 50K subs and way more.

One thing i'll add is here in New Orleans/Louisiana we can't have basements because we're below sea level. We've been getting more and more tornadoes as the years go on and there's nowhere to really retreat for most civilians unfortunately.

We recently had an EF3 cross the Mississippi River from the West Bank into downtown and it killed tens of people. Of course it happened at night

[getbogged]

I did a school project many years ago on Greensberg and their post-tornado rebuilding plan! They saw the horrific destruction as an opportunity to completely rebuild the town to be sustainable. It's a little sad that it's never talked about, but their plan was to have a walkable town with a bunch of LEED buildings that have businesses that are specifically useful and sustainable for the people living in the town. The whole master plan is available publicly online and I think it's very cool :)

I was in Cullman for the 2011 outbreak. The big one went right behind my house and seriously injured one of the neighbors. The abiding memory of that day was how dry it was. It didn't rain at all the entire time. Also, we basically missed the entire second half of school that year because we had a huge snow in February, spring break, and then tornadoes tore the county apart.

As a joplin resident and someone who went threw the tornado and has seen the town come back I love how much you cover and talk about it

[hearmeout]

I live in Dixie Alley and we were struck by an EF-3 at 4a.m. about 11 years ago. I don’t recall hearing the roar of the wind but I could hear the most minuscule sounds intensely. I heard windows breaking upstairs, I could hear debris hitting our basement windows, I heard the garage doors creaking before they crumpled, I heard a door slam after a window broke, and I heard trees falling onto and into the house. I also looked at the garage door once and it looked like some weird Tim Burton claymation movie. The lightning was like a strobe light, leaves and small rocks were moving across the windows in a jerky motion, and since the power had gone out, there was a stark discontinuity between the short periods of darkness and the bright flashes. I wish I had focused beyond the surface of the windows because I believe that I was observing debris flying around outside the house but I never focused on it because I was transfixed on the odd show on the window.

Hello I have autism and I wanted to say I have recently developed a hyper fixation on natural disasters, specifically tornados. Your channel makes me very happy and this video made me happy

[ckself]

I grew up in North Carolina in the 90s. I was a weather nerd child and remember the Jarell Tornado being a big deal but for whatever reason, maybe cause I'm more of a hurricane nerd, I didn't really know much about it other than that it was bad. Now, I'm a NWS meteorologist in Houston, TX and have been doing a lot of severe weather and radar training which has lead me to look at famous tornadoes in more detail. The Jarell tornado has recently become an obsession of mine. It is such a weird and terrifying tornado. Great idea for a case study video if you haven't done one already.

[pineappleginseng]

I find it kinda cool that we have this super chill and soft-spoken dude who is incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and uploads content about some of the most loud, powerful, and violent weather phenomena on Earth.

[douglasnotdoug]

My yearly tornado obsession is coming back and this video came at the perfect time! Thank you!!!

[LaPetiteBoulin]

I live in West Tennessee, and most of our tornadoes come at night. It's frightening to not know where it is coming from & you don't want to be asleep & not prepared. Thank you for the video! New sub!

[megabruhfartxddd]

Glad I've stumbled across your channel a few months back, today I was able to meet a Chief Meteorologist for a seminar class. He was hella cool to meet, and only furthered my interest for meteorology.
