Which F5 or EF5 tornadoes would you put on the list? There were like 10 I almost included. Thanks for watching!

[VASHtheSTAMPEDE_]

2011 was wild. It's crazy that each EF5 from that year could have been some of the strongest on record.

[wyattl.]

I understand if you were scared of getting bonked by YouTube for mentioning this. But imo what makes Jarrell so heinous wasn’t what it did to structures, but living beings.

Lungs sucked out of livestock and skinned alive. People being sandblasted by debris to the point where most had to be identified by dental records. Rescue services said there were just pieces of flesh and bone everywhere, and the whole area smelled like death for weeks afterward.

Straight out of a horror movie.

Hackleburg, Ground zero, 275 feet away from my home was a pond where it all started in force. The Tornado picked up the water from the pond and in 20-50 feet grew large enough to start the unearthing of all foliage leaving the bare dirt as its path. Once it hit my families homes (All in the same block) it removed everything including shrubs, flowers, homes, My home, and sadly, my sister and cousin. We had a 40x30 shop that contained a table made from solid steel plate over 2 inch thick, that was used for heavy engine teardown / repair. This table was 4 feet by 4 feet and weighed over 1300 lbs. That table has not been found since. The debris field from my home alone was over 400 feet in length with my sisters graduation photo landing well over 150 miles away in Sequatchie Tennessee. This one, still hurts and haunts me to this day.

That Jarrell, TX. Tornado wasnt only powerful; it almost became stationary at one time. NOTHING left. NOTHING. Horrible! My hearts still go out to all the loved ones lost.

I was in the Joplin tornado STORY TIME


This happened in my 20s I was going to my house after a quick stop at the store my home was kinda built like a rectangle. It was small, awkward, and kinda claustrophobic. As soon as I made it to my house, my phone started going off for a tornado warning. I never cared about bad weather but the way the clouds looked I could tell something was off. I grabbed my cat waffles (he’s okay) a young kitten about 10 months old and hit in my bath tub trying to grip my mattress over my head while looking at my phone. I started to hear the roar and called my mom and told her goodbye. But here I am! I got chucked 123 yards from my house with my cat in my hand with a few scratches and bruises!

My dad survived the 1974 Xenia Ohio tornado. He was just 10 years old. He’s still alive and well today, and still vividly remembers every detail…

[SoCal]

This upcoming April 3rd will mark the 50th anniversary of the Xenia, Ohio tornado. I was at home in the neighboring town of Beavercreek, which borders Xenia on its western side. I was 10 years old at the time. I can still remember driving through there a few weeks later, and it STILL looked like a war zone. On a side note, I really admire and respect the time and effort that you put into these videos. I never miss one. I don’t know why ppl would want to search you out, etc. I’m perfectly content to just let you have your privacy and admire your work when you present it to us. That’s good enough for me. Thanks for what you do! 👍

Always a good day when Swegle Studios uploads

“We havent had an F5 tornado in 10 years….” Is a chilling statement lol Its just getting ready for one huge one to happen again

[jfm.d]

Jarrell.... that tornado is insane. Pulled up asphalt, pulled UP foundation.

[archer]

Was 9 years old in Xenia Ohio 1974. Missed our home by 2 blocks. It was so loud that my ears were ringing for almost 2 days after . As a 9 year old, your town is your world... And my world was gone

[Blane_be_fishin]

Honorable mention Greensburg Kansas 2007. The first tornado rated an EF5 on the new scale. Wiped out nearly an entire town in the middle of the night. Thats a scary one.

Part of the reason why I got so fascinated with Tornadoes as a kid was because of Waco and Jarrell. I grew up in an area that was between those two towns, and have been to both numerous times in my life.
Downtown Waco does feel a little empty even to this day, and Jarrell was very somber as you could imagine what it must have looked like moving into Double Creek Estates.
I even love how you included details like the Dr Pepper Museum having a visible scar on the side of the building.

My sister is a survivor of the Joplin Tornado, I was also born in Joplin, I can’t even describe how traumatic that was for everyone involved… I had friends eating in the Pizza Hut that used to sit in front of the 15th Street Walmart. A high school student that worked there sacrificed himself to hold the door to the walk in freezer closed because it wouldn’t shut properly, and that’s just one of many stories like that

[gamerboy-qqfk]

It’s insane that the Jarrell tornado started as such a small rope, but still became one of the most infamous tornados of all time

[OKHolly]

I was going to college in Joplin, MO in 2011 and 2 of my friends from college were in the Fastrip gas station on 20th street when the tornado hit them. To this day, I still don't know how they survived, but I'm so grateful that they did.

The Joplin footage from that day is wild, people were staring directly at the Tornado and for some in a few minutes they were caught in its path. I learned that day if I ever see a large dark wall and there’s no rain around me, that’s a Tornado.

I was watching the Twister trailer the other day in the movie theaters and some smart person decided to Vape in the bathroom so while the Trailer playing the Alarm gets set off I literally thought that was apart of the Trailer 😂😂😂

[oliviapeacher]

I am a survivor of the Joplin tornado. The fear that day was insane.
