Video

This tornado could've been as powerful if not more powerful than the May 3rd Tornado. Their damage was equal, probably even worse from the smitville tornado.

The narration of this is slow, and it's....unnecessary. The rest of the video was well done

MANY people perished from that tornado. Not just a CZcams celebrity.

I honestly believe this to believe the strongest tornado of all time

The more I learn about this tornado I am convinced it was at least equal to the most powerful tornadoes if not at times more so. I am amazed at the different types and amounts of damage tornadoes do and this one left the evidence showing its wind speed.

Maybe recheck stats on El Reno tornado. I believe it was ultimately rated EF 3. Even tho winds were super strong, the damage didn't rate an EF5. Just a thought. Nice video about a horrible tornado.

oh believe me i know how it felt i was there for the ef5 that hit parkersburg ef5 are rare but you will never forget being near one

Thanks for the upload!👍

Watching that house getting disintegrated shows how powerful those are

They never highlight the car that gets thrown in the air right after the house. 🛻💨 🌪

So sad, Great commentary 👍👍

You deserve more subscribers

He’s back!!

The El Reno tornado from 2013 could have had winds of more than 330mph. Also one freak you missed was the 1999 Mulhull tornado. It was said to be over 4 miles wide and possibly stronger than the BCM storm a few hours earlier

Rolling Fork??

"for dry eyes get clear eyes"

Please make scariest tornado video of all time part-2

w video

Thats tragic...rip will...also great story telling... your voice is soothing...good job on this

Some of your tornsdoes you have listed on here only have those wind speeds on them based on damage. There was no way to actualy conduct real wind speeds on a tornsdo back in 1955. The resson they have windspeeds now is because of the doppler on wheels and really good radar thst can pick out wind speeds. So some these you have listed weren't real time wind speeds. If fact back in the day, they over powered these tornadoes. Now is the opposite. They purposely give them lower wind ratings to prevent them.from getting that Ef5 rating. They figured out they could get more funding for building structures if they point out reasons for how structures were built and how they can be improved upon in the future, so then the governments gives these people the funding to build them that way. They learned by giving a tornado a ef5 rating, your basically saying there is no structure that could of withstood the power and so there is no money for building better. Thats why we haven't seen any ef5 tornadoes in a decade. Even though therr are a few that were. I honestly believe thst was the reason for the F scale being changed to the EF scale. It was all about damage. I think its kinda funny how you could have a mile wide wedge with wind speeds of 300+ mph and if it hits nothing at all, it gets a EF0 rating. I think to my self, how does that make any sence at all. The most powerful tornado in history could be going through open fields and yet if it doesn't hit any trees or structures, its basically forgotten as if it never even happened.

I think we should add tonight's nashville tennessee tornado to the list. Theres a video of it literally exploding (it probably hit a gas plantation or something) in the middle of the night

They’re all terrifying but the one with Mike Morgan…my jaw would be to the floor, too…

Was anyone hurt or killed when there house 🏠 when the tornado 🌪

1. Woldegk 1764, Intense ground scouring, large oak trees were complete eviscerated into splinters, fully debarked and denuded. Some of the branches were found with 2 inches of frost/ice on them which implies they were launched ridiculously high up into the atmosphere. A large well Built stone mansion was erased without a trace without even the foundation intact, estimated winds here were at least 300 mph. A tidal wave was said to of formed as a result of the tornadic winds. Extensive ground scouring occurred as well. 2. Tristate tornado, 1925, Unrated officially but regarded by basically everyone as F5 with winds >300 mph. The amount of damage this tornado caused was extreme, and an answer here cannot do it justice, but some of the worst instances of damage are the following: extreme ground scouring, debarking and denuded trees left knee height, metal sheets stripped from trains were thrown 50 miles away. Gorham was obliterated with railroad tracks torn from the ground, the forward motion ranged greatly but was as high as 75 Mph in some places, a large multi story well built Heinz factory was severely damaged. A coal tipple weighing 20 tonnes was lifted and thrown considerable distances complete mangled and destroyed. A railroad Trestle (large bridge) 300 feet in length was torn from its supports ripped from the tracks and destroyed. Several 130 tonne boxcars on the tracks were lifted and thrown around like feathers. The Lick Creek bridge weighing 1,500 tonnes was lifted and mangled thrown 300 feet away. A 18 acre path of forest was erased fully denuded and debarked with the ground scoured. Royalton Colp road bridge was razed from its steel reinforced concrete foundation pillars, which it was anchored to cracking and destroying its concrete foundations and completely shearing the steel bridge off which weighed over 100 tonnes. Needless to say the damage from this tornado was extreme the most impressive feat perhaps is the 5,000 ton, 40 metre tall water tower which was ripped from the ground and blown over, completely mangled. A large steam locomotive weighing 500 tonnes was lifted and tossed. 3. Sherman F5 1896, many homes which were well constructed were completely swept clean with granulated debris found over 800 yards away, extreme vegetation damage occurred with scoured ground graves torn out of the ground with even tombs and coffins lifted away never to be found again. Large multi story buildings were destroyed fully and trains were flung like matchsticks. The bodies were mutilated by the tornado and unrecognisable. ‘The track of the cyclone is a gruesome sight, the devastation being complete - houses, trees, fences, in fact everything in its path was destroyed.’ 5 massive mansions were swept away. The Houston steel street suspension bridge with reinforced concrete and steel anchored and bolted securely down was torn to splinters and huge iron girders weighing thousands of pounds were twisted like straw and embedded into the ground at a depth of 4 feet 700 yards away. The bridge itself weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds around 200-400 tonnes. It was mangled and left as scrap metal. The concrete supports were cracked and demolished. 20 well built residences razed to the ground and a trunk lid from a car was carried 35 miles. 4. El Reno 2011 Piedmont EF5. - perhaps the strongest tornado in recent history, Raxpol DOW recorded wind of 295 mph before the tornado reached its peak intensity just minutes before it hit the interstate. Large trucks were thrown 800 yards fully mangled and torn apart wrapt around debarked and denuded trees, ground scouring was extreme, bodies were stripped of clothing and skin. An oil tanker weighing 20,000 pounds was thrown over a mile. Numerous residences were swept clean but rated EF4 due to construction. But undoubtedly the most impressive feat of this monster was the damage it caused to the Cactus-117 oil derelict which weighed 1.9 million pounds. Or 862 Metric tonnes. Furthermore it was anchored securely to its drilling holes giving it an additional 200,000 pounds of downforce. It was sheered from its anchorage and rolled and tossed multiple times hundreds of feet away, completely mangled and destroyed, the 12 workers huddled in a steel reinforced safety container which was anchored to the ground with 4 anchors 5.5 feet deep, 1 of which was torn out and lifted away. The container was impacted by debris but all 12 survived. The core of the tornado did not even directly impact cactus, it was just off away. 5. Philadelphia Preston EF5 2011. Intense ground scouring with an extremely fast forward motion, ground scouring of over 2 feet deep, consistently, one sub vortex carved a portion of dirt 3.8 feet deep. Or over 1 metre of ground was scoured. The soil exposed to the wind for less than 1 second indicates incredible winds. 6. Smithville 2011 EF5, extremely strong some of the most intense damage ever, waste pipes torn out the ground extreme ground scouring and a fast forward motion make this extremely strong. Apparently Amateur chasers recorded winds as high as 340 mph. 7. Bridge creek Moore 1999 F5. DOW measured several wind readings of over 300 mph, some were considerably higher up to 324 Mph. Very severe damage. Granulation of debris extremely fine, scoured ground mangled vehicles deformed corpses and base plates with removed, which are almost impossible to remove due to their surface area and the fact they are completely flat. 8. El Reno 2013 EF3. - Largest recorded tornado, its core had winds of around 200 Mph but its extreme sub vortexes possessed winds as high as 336 Mph with a forward velocity of 170 Mph. 9. Jarrel Texas 1997 F5. Some of the worst damage ever produced forward motion extremely slow however. Virtually the entirety of the double creek estates was razed some homes well built others not. Ground scouring, road scouring and a foundation which was quite literally moved several feet. A steel reinforced concrete structure was complete destroyed with walls several feet thick. 10. Hackleburg-Phill Campbell 2011 EF5. Very fast and long tracked, as the highest confirmed number of EF 5 damage indicators. Over 60 homes received EF5 ratings, 2 houses which were of reinforced masonry well anchored down with nuts and washers, strapped and j bolted, with additional anchorage. Wall studs were toenailed with supporting vertical brackets and x brackets. The roofs were also held down by brackets. The foundations were swept clean with the basements destroyed. Wrangler Jean factory made to withstand F3 winds (206 Mph) was totalled. Extreme vegetation damage; large oak trees complete torn from the ground debarked and denuded. Large shopping malls destroyed, asphalt scoured. Plumbing ripped from foundations, several foundations were cracked and deformed, one had moved 3 feet, another was sucked up partially. A well constructed storm shelter had its roof torn away as well as its door badly damaged.

Mr. Schultz video is the scariest video tornado video I have ever watched. I live in Florida and I would rather take the hurricanes. Tornadoes are the scariest part of storms or any natural disaster

I watched James Spann's coverage on April 27,2011, and every station had a grim first hand view of that EF-4 as it was basically an entire wall cloud on the ground when it passed maybe 3-4 miles north of the TV stations.

I appreciate your video and want to thank you for sharing it. You do quality work and I subscribed right after watching your upload. That said, it probably should have included the 1997 Jarrell, TX, tornado as it was rated an F5 (261 mph-318 mph) using the old Fujita scale, so that immediately puts it towards the top of this list before looking at the damage. So, let's look at the damage. According to ever source have either read or seen on this event, the damage was nothing short of catastrophic. I personally read that in almost all the cases the tornado had left body parts terribly bruised and had removed all of the hair from the victim’s remains. This occurred regardless of whether the body was found in one piece or in many scattered pieces. The same went for the cattle that were swept up in the carnage. Sadly, it was even worse in some cases with both human and cattle remains being stripped of all flesh and muscle down to the bone so that responders were forced to use dental records to identify the remains of people that they have known for years and were close friends. As I have already alluded to, there were bodies that were literally ripped apart, be it in half or worse, which resulted in serious trauma, PTSD, for many of those involved in the cleanup. I recall one responder spoke of finding a finger here and then the wrist somewhere else a significant distance away. They even had trouble separating the human remains from those of the cattle. I mean, when they say they had to use dental records to identify victims, it may well have been because they found a jaw along with other parts and couldn’t figure out what parts made up what body, male or female, adult or teenager. I can’t even imagine the horror these victims felt before it ended! Nor can I fathom the family, friends, and responders that found the pieces of their remains. Truly horrific! Anyway, something to consider, and if you disagree then I respect that. Either way, stay golden and keep up the good work.

1:36-1:38 we could’ve gotten ahead of it…. Why? Why would you want this thing chasing you. Why would you want to risk being between the core and the giant tornado in the middle of the night? I just chalk it up to most of these storm chasers are suicidal. Not to mention this supercell was rapidly producing more and more mega-wedges throughout the night. I don’t get it there’s easier ways to self delete smh

The first one (Elie F5) has debunked the theory that a tornado slow forward moving stalling over a spot is the only reason a foundation is wiped clean. This tornado was incorrectly rated F4 at first by "PROFESSIONAL" surveyors. Because they assumed the tornado stalling over the house caused F5 "type" damage and it didn't destroy it immediately. It wasn't until the first chip surfaced from someone's home video, that they saw the tornado approach and IMMEDIATELY sucked up the entire house. AND THEN it stalled over the spot after the house was already gone. They then HAD to upgrade the tornado to F5 status. This is why I explain to people about the Jarrell F5 Deadman Walking multivortex tornado. It didn't clear out and ENTIRE SUBDIVISION from "just" forward moving windspeeds alone (trust me, may people incorrectly say that). No the winds that day in Jarrell,TX were just that powerful and devastating. Experts think that winds were around 261 mph. Well they only assume that because there was no way to record windspeeds that day. So they settled on the definition of an F5: windspeeds STARTING at 261 mph. I firmly believe that the Jarrell tornado was as strong as Bridge Creek of Moore 1999 two yrs later. No one yet can prove me wrong other than the Bridge Creek tornado's windspeeds were actually recorded that day. Outside of that, they did the same type of damage (Jarrell was actually more intense). The Convective Available Potential Energy or (CAPE) measured in the atmosphere that day in Moore was 5,000 jpk, same as Joplin. The CAPE in Jarrell was over 7,000 J/kg!! It only takes roughly 1,000jpk to bring conditions up enough for a significant tornado. 5,000 is barely heard of. 7,000 IS unheard of. And the inflow jet at Jarrell was seen and felt 4 MILES AWAY! There video evidence of everything I typed here on CZcams. So I'm glad the Elie tornado video exists. No one could get that close in Moore or Jarrell to record their devastation as they did in Elie. I know Jarrell wasn't added to this list. But when I saw footage of the Elie tornado, I took an opportunity to explain my findings in a comment where the video actually exists.

excellent ty

I can’t bear to watch the Clem Schultz video anymore after having seen it so many times…it’s one of those rare cases where multiple watches does the opposite of desensitizing you too it

That last one is always really scary to me, it just seems like a giant monster with arms reaching out to rip the city apart while the people in charge are left stacked and helpless. Moore and Tuscaloosa both had crazy horizontal vortices. Any tornado that has those automatically has its fear factor doubled. Just creepy as hell.

The Edmonton Alberta Canada tornado 🌪️ of 1987.

The Sullivan tornado should have been rated ef 4 or 5 considering the violent damage it caused even though its center pased a large bit away from the town

🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈😱😱😱😱😱🙏🏾

Ik there’s not too much information on the tri-state tornado but that would’ve been cool to kinda see that one or jarrell but still accurate. I agree with the 1999 tornado it’s always been controversial on if it’s the most powerful caught on video

artificial contain sample% natural sample code carbon 14 = strong tornadoes

To me, living in hell its something you do not want to experience firsthand. You can get deep enough to hide.

The fact el reno was CLEARLY an F5 and still got rated a EF3 is wild to me... that shows its problems with the EF scale in itself.

What about the tri state

Insilation from a roof...

Tri-state tornado was by far the most deadly tornado in America and one of the most powerful as well

Rolling fork should be on here

this video definitely needs more likes

I think for the bridge creek Moore tornado would be 301-321 mph

Biasa saja.smoga akan ada video2 lain yg lebih dahsyat,lebih heboh dan lebih keren dari semua yg anda bikin list ini

there were so many deadly hurricanes in 2011... i was little and didn't know there were such hurricanes

el reno 2011 hits different as it happened 2 days after joplin was slaughtered

What's the music that you used?

11:54 Which in itself makes Enhanced Fujita pointless.
