it's actually horrifying to just see a huge tornado coming towards you, but only being able to see it in between flashes of lightning

Young man, I am 67 and have been a weather nerd for .any years. You do a great job and service on this channel... both in historical terms and in tornado awareness. Kudos to you!

I've got a story for you, on the night of June 7th 1984 my grandparents were sitting in a bar in the heart of Barneveld. They were drinking and playing cards with some friends. It was around 11 PM when they got tired and decided to leave and head back to their house in Mt. Horeb, and just an hour later that bar had been completely destroyed.

Get a NOAA weather radio if you live in tornado prone areas, y'all. The basic model is like $40. Those things are LOUD and will wake up even the most sound of sleepers. You can program it for your immediate area and turn alerts on and off. I keep mine "alert off" under my bed and put it up on my mattress next to me "alert ON" when there's a chance of dangerous weather overnight. It also doesn't depend on internet or cellular signal which is an added bonus!

You will NOT sleep through a NOAA weather radio going off!

I love it when you look for scars from infamous tornadoes. What an amazing thing we’re just casually able to look up!

Once my grandfather was sleeping (south Alabama) and his dog (very smart dog who would rarely bark for no reason ) kept trying to wake him up. He kept telling his dog to stop, but the dog kept waking him. He finally got up and looked out the window to see the silhouette of a funnel cloud going right over his house. The tornado never touched down thankfully.

The 2020 Nashville night tornado was absolutely insane, as someone who lives in the area. There was obviously the EF4 that hit Cookville, but there was another EF3 that night that stayed on the ground for over 60 miles and actually hit downtown Nashville. To make things even more strange, this tornado happened right before everything shut down for the pandemic so there were damaged buildings that just sat there for a long time in a major metropolitan area. I specifically remember an old government building in the Germantown area that just say there in ruin for a while and the Top Golf also was a direct hit. Crazy times man.

Experienced my first close call with a tornado not long ago. What's scarier than a tornado siren is the sound of a tornado itself. You hear a low rumble getting louder and louder, the lights flicker, and if you're lucky, the rumbling eventually fades into the distance.

As a kid I remember watching Twister and there was this nocturnal tornado scene that left perhaps more of an impression on me than any heavier storm in any such footage before or after. Just the idea you can hear it, it seems to be everywhere, but so dark you can only see it when lightning strikes... Terrifyingly awesome.

6:53 The orbiting lights could have been vehicle headlights. There's more recent footage of vehicles being sucked up by large tornadoes with lights still on. The persistent glow is harder to explain without lots of lightning. Definitely sounds like some kind of electrical effect though.

Some of the most unnerving tornado footage is when a storm is so dense and large that it is almost dark in the middle of the afternoon. Some of the Joplin EF-5 footage looks as if it was already 8-9 PM. Someone at a building in Limestone Co., AL filmed the Hackleburg EF-5 as it passed maybe a mile away, and the sky was this ominous dark green color while you hear the constant roar of the tornado.

I live in the Midwest, and having a sound sleep just to be woken up by the ear piercing sound of a tornado warning played through a JBL speaker at 4 in the morning has been a part of my life

5:07 tornado couldn’t see in the dark so it had to bring a flashlight

I'm Brazilian, and the country's deadliest tornado was also a nighttime tornado: in September 1991, an F4 hit the city of Itu after dark. To make matters worse, it was also rain-wrapped. 16 people died, 10 were on a bus that was blown away by the wind. Considering that we still don't have a warning system here, it's a miracle that the death toll wasn't much higher.

Bowling Green, KY here. I am a sound sleeper and on Dec. 11th 2021, I got jolted awake about 1:15 am when my phone sounded a storm warning. I got to the hall, and I heard the tornado go over my home. It did not touch down in my neighborhood, thank God but other areas were not so lucky. It killed 16 people and caused a huge amount of damage

[alexribolli]

That Mayfield tornado silhouette looming in the background is both terrifying and enthralling. Makes my jaw drops at the same speed of its winds.

[SilveniumTheDrifter]

I wasn't too much afraid of tornadoes, until one night I woke up with a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I heard the lightning and wind from however far it was in the black of night. But it was too rural for tornado sirens.

Anyway, I could "feel" tornado weather and soon enough I got a call on the landline saying to hole up.

Next morning, a deli that was about a half of a mile or quarter of a mile from me had been ripped to pieces.

I don't mock or trivialize storms any more.

Checking Night of the Twisters out of the library when I was 9 is the reason I’m sitting here watching this 24 years later! Started the whole thing for me.
