The LARGEST Tornado Ever Recorded: El Reno #historicaltidbits

The 2013 El Reno, Oklahoma Tornado that took the lives of eight people and four storm chasers. The El Reno tornado might be the scariest storm ever witnessed. Despite this, it had little damage and so it was classified as an EF3, despite its strong winds and size. This is to date the largest tornado that has ever existed and certainly caught on film. At its peak it was 2.6 miles wide. The entire cell came down and spawned multiple subvortices that orbited around the tornado. The subvortices contained the strongest wind speeds at 302 mph, one of the strongest recorded wind speeds of any known tornado. the storm ballooned so quickly that many storm chasers who were close to the initial funnel found themselves trapped within the tornado and struggling to escape. It was actually one of the subcortices that took the life of Tim Samaras and his team. R.I.P.

If the El Reno tornado hit a population center.... I don't want to even imagine the loss of life it would have caused.

I remember this. I was a huge fan of Samaras. So sad losing him & his son.

RIP Tim Samaras and team. ✝️

That was a very scary tornado. I watched it on the news from Missouri. I FELT the fear in the weather peoples voices. It was a horrible time for El Reno and one that was unforgettable. And still is to this day.

I grew up in Jerrell Texas. I was in the one in 1997 and it took a lot of peoples lives. Most of them are repeople and families, but hearing about the Moore Oklahoma tornado when I saw that video the thing that upsets me is that their sirens never went off ahead of time, especially when the tornadoes right in front of the school to this day, I still think about the people that lost in Moore Oklahoma, including in my state of Texas Jerrell, Texas, in 1997. God bless you guys you guys and girls are always going to be in my heart forever. Stay safe.

Bro the coolest thing is imagine someone phone get sucked while recording they capture the whole footage of how it feels

[Osage]

We have some insane tornadoes here in Oklahoma. Scariest thing to ever witness.

That ain't a tornado no more, that's a fvcking hurricane

[EquineMetalhead]

2.6 MILES WIDE AND WIND SPEEDS OF 302 MPH!? HOLY SH!T!!! That is a monster of a tornado. That ain’t no EF-5, that’s an EF-MONSTER!!!

[Gabriel-nvib]

Bro... The power that tornado must've had... Storm chaser vehicles are no joke.

[moniqvee]

My cousin was in this one it was horrific luckily someway she survived.

[Deutsch_Gamer]

if it had gone a little bit further, would’ve been the deadliest tornado to have happened in the usa, especially because 300+ mph winds in the main funnel and god knows how high the winds were in the sub-vortices, only way to have survived was to be underground.

Nicely put together short of my all time favorite tornado. El Reno!

[eliasdskill]

I was in the town next to El reno, yukon. It was coming for us and turned a 45 degree north taking out the vocation center and missing my town of 20k completely .. very lucky we would have all been dead

[chin-lhgd]

just watched Twisters and it is amazing

[cedricliggins]

I remember this tornado. Scary as hell

[ThatMonkeDiesel]

The Bridge Creek tornado was actually bigger due to the width and the certain type of tornado. It was meaning that the width of the tornado was the same amount of length that it was up to the clouds and the bridge Creek one caused more damage due to being in a suburb instead of a rule area

[Mikey-]

Imagine if it took the same path the Bridge Creek Moore did in 1999. This thing was twice as wide and nearly the same windspeed. That would've been absolutely horrific.

[MorganaRavenheart]

The legendary EF6 has finally struck, but was mislabeled 😮

El Reno took one of the storm chasers I always watched and sadly it was twisttex
