-----------------------
A tornado like this one forms from a supercell, which is a storm with a persistently rotating updraft. This rotation is caused by strong turning and increasing of winds with height. As the first storm towers form, they begin ingesting the spin these winds create in the atmosphere. Over time, as the storm strengthens (sometimes in as little as 30 to 60 minutes) a low-level mesocyclone takes shape. Visually, this is often seen with a developing wall cloud. From here, the process becomes complicated but familiar: A push of air from behind the storm (the rear flank downdraft) wraps around this low-level mesocyclone as air flow into the storm increases. This all helps lower the pressure underneath the mesocyclone and concentrate the rotation. If everything works out, a tornado is born. And if everything works out too well, a violent tornado like this EF-4 is born. #tornado #weather #science #nature #twisters #twister #supercellthunderstorm #twister #oklahoma #tornadoalley

Wow. That footage is so awesome, for a moment I thought it was CGI
Same
same
Uou
Same
@@jss.2020 its just so perfect
I love the people driving towards it like it’s just another day at the office.
This is one of the rare times I'd be driving away from my destination if that tornado was between me and it 😂😂 ill show up late thank you
Pretty sure those are storm chasers
@@Datboi_23 oh, yeah, maybe.
@@Datboi_23 So I guess for them, it really IS just another day “at the office” 😂
@@ianfranks541 I mean it's also Oklahoma, I'm sure for some people that live there it really is another day at the office.
That's the most impressive tornado footage I've ever seen. No shaking camera, no loud commentary, and amazing detail.
That’s the one thing that sucks with Reed is he’s so f-kin loud and the wind is killing his mic.
Agreed But you will still notice that even though theres no rain , the wipers are running full speed as in all tornado vids
If you like this you need to discover Hank Schyma (Pecos Hank) if you haven’t already . Every one of his videos are like this.
@@miamidolphinstalkpageYES. I LOVE Pecos Hank!!
Looks fake! Unbelievable
I'm from Oklahoma this past Saturday an F4 tornado hit the town I live at. We have leveled homes and buildings. Everyone is devastated! Keep us in your prayers!
God Bless you and your community. May you all recover quickly. 🙏
Prayers 🙏🏿
I’m not a Christian but I hope your community finds fortune while rebuilding.
Sulphur?
They have used EF ratings since 2007. Far as I know , only the Marietta OK tornado was rated EF 4. Sulphur tornado was rated high end EF3
That tornado didn’t even look real at first.. that had to be terrifying to see in person.
As someone who has barely recovered after 1 and a half years after the Paris Tx EF4 tornado. It's hard to find beauty in a tornado.
Imagine seeing this in the 1700's.
It's no wonder the indigenous peoples had so many myths and legends, especially regarding these things..
The fact the tornado moved out of the way so the people could get through is crazy
That’s the most polite tornado I’ve ever seem
@@Puppetmistress If that were an Arizona tornado, it would have done everything in its power to destroy anything in its path.😀 much like the asshats who drive in this cesspool.
"Oh, excuse me. Sorry sir"
lost canadian tornado
pretty sure all these cars are stormchasers
Tornadoes ARE terrifying. Yet I can’t help but observe its beauty 😳
Tornadoes are beautiful monsters 😱
😮
It's alright. Come live in the Midwest. Here in Kansas the standard response is to stand on the porch filming it and making guesses which way it's gonna go. Why do you think the casualty rates are always lower than you'd expect? Everyone is filming. Cameraman never dies. 😅
Seriously though, I'm always blown away by how low the casualties tend to be from even the most massive storms. Look up what Moore, OK looked like after it was hit. It looked like Hiroshima. Basically half the city was literally gone. Reduced to the ground. Multiple schools full of children were hit directly by the tornado. I say all that because when you see the damage and know how many people were directly hit by that mile wide EF5 storm, it's incredible that it resulted in 27 deaths and 212 injuries. Given the hundreds, even thousands, directly hit by that storm, those numbers are INCREDIBLY low. The people in Moore were incredibly lucky, all things considered.
A tornado moving past your exact location lasts roughly 30 seconds and it is the longest and most anxiety inducing 30 seconds of your entire life
In the full video this was top 3 in terms of most violent rotation I've ever seen. It was unreal.
Those horizontal vortices are also something that's associated with strong, strong winds.
couple weeks ago there was a giant wedge tornado that had up to 9 vortices beneath it at times. that thing was so violent, it was literally tearing itself apart lol
@@saturationstation1446 really? Do you know the name of it?
I've seen it too, it was incredible
@@26michaeluk. Tornadoes aren’t named, hurricanes are.
As a New Englander, It sucks clearing snow and having about 6 months of winter with frigid temperatures. Not to mention our vehicles rotting away due to how the roads are treated. That said, I'd gladly choose all of that instead of tornadoes. These things are absolutely terrifying! God bless you all, and stay safe.
Just remember we are not safe Worcester and spring Windsor locks etc also fellow New Englander
We get the worst of both worlds in the upper Midwest
I heard tornados in England are pretty common you never saw one?
@@im_based2312 new england, not England.
@@leesdroidaccountharbin9665 Huh? And here all along I thought the Patriots played European football at a soccer pavilion in Foxborough, Massachusetts, UK. Go Chiefs :)
Tornadoes are the only form of natural disaster that I would describe as creepy. And then the creepy sirens just make it worse 😅
How about sinkholes? You ever see that story where part of a guys house was swallowed by a sinkhole in the middle of the night? His family could hear him yelling for help but his entire bedroom had vanished. He was never found.
Just wait until you hear about that one fire whirl from 1920
@@173jaSon371cmon man I tried to forget about that so I could sleep at night😭
Ive seen a video recently in which someone likened tornadoes to the closest thing humans will ever experience to a H.P. Lovecraft-ian eldritch horror.
Big enough to be awe inspiring, small enough to be witnessed in full, horrifying glory. A hurricane is just a big storm system with days of warning. Tornadoes are small, personal, and concentrated destruction that appear with often only minutes of warning. They're violent and can disappear just as swiftly as they came.
@@nephalos666they’re like giants murderous ghost-like beings. They’re terrifying to look at because they feel alive
Perfect example of a solid EF-4 Tornado.
Perhaps some of the most dramatic footage and very close that I've seen, and I've seen a lot of good footage.
What a polite lad. He stepped out of the way so everyone could get past
everyone's just casually driving towards the tornado
I don't think I could ever drive in the direction of a tornado, but I truly love these videos...
Absolutely amazing the sheer power of tornadoes is overwhelming
How many times more powerful than the atomic bomb ? I forget the number, but that number was kind of shocking to me. As was how small of particles, the debris was ground into. A man's car, ground so small, to not be identifiable as anything other than metal particles. Not one single piece, big enough to indicate that it came from a car. Like it just disappeared. And tragically, there was a person, who also - just disappeared, ground to nothing but particles. That's some power. Quite terrifying, I felt.
@@brianwade879 600 times
@brianwade879 tornadoes and bombs have one thing in common: instability. But in terms of destruction and sheer power, atomic bombs are hundreds of times worse. A shockwave that disintegrates anything in the center with temperatures that reach hotter than the surface of the sun. Even past 5-10 miles, you would experience a shockwave and maybe even radiation burns. Radiation poisoning is a whole nother ballgame as well. I'd rather die from a tornado than suffer for weeks as I'm melting from the inside out
@@brianwade879atomic bombs are definitely worse imo
@@user-le4rw6rt9p the difference though is that an atomic bomb isnt going to suddenly manifest like a tornado can, and the fact that it can essentially sweep houses off their foundations like they never existed is terrifying
That is probably the best recording of a tornado I've ever seen...
This thing def. had the hallmarks of a violent tornado - the extreme motion at the base, horizontal vortices, debris lofted very high into the air. No surprise it was later rated EF4.
I respect their curiosity sitting that close to an EF4, noticing the horizontal vortices shooting out the side as well and the sudden break to the right. Very dangerous, but excellent footage
It’s crazy when people on the coast argue hurricanes are worse. You get weeks or months to prepare. Tornadoes you get seconds, to minutes.
It’s all about perspective.
You literally can just check the weather to see if there's a risk of twisters. Also hurricanes cause floods which are without a doubt the most dangerous weather related natural disaster.
Arguably, hurricanes are worse. Don't get me wrong, tornados are dangerous and can cause an immense amount of destruction and death, and they can be unpredictable in terms of where it will be next, however they are more of an isolated event and often don't last very long. Now compare them to hurricanes, which are weather systems that can be hundreds of miles across, cause dangerous storm surge and flooding, have consistent wind speeds of 71+ mph, last for days or even weeks on end, and have a larger area of impact due to their size and hurricanes definitely sound worse to me. That's just my opinion.
@@Elite21021It all about perspective. I’m a macro numbers kind of guy which I realize can be deceiving…Looking at the averages from 1980-2023: 48 deaths/yr from storms vs 157 deaths/yr from tropical cyclones. On the financial side: cyclones are 3x as expensive as storm $10.3b/yr vs $31.3b/yr. For an individual in an independent event, I’d say a tornado is more deadly though. Choose your metric.
@@Drewshew I'm from NJ and spoke to some guy from the midwest about this. I said tornadoes are worse, he said hurricanes. I prefer the 70 mph winds stretched over miles than the 100+ concentrated winds that'll shred my house in an instant and come without warning. Thankfully we never had more than a category 2 here. We had time to plan and evacuate if we wanted.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of people driving towards a tornado. I see a tornado that close while on the road, it's time for a U- turn..
The sound of the emergency alert system and seeing the tornado has an ominous feel to it.
The Katie ,Oklahoma ef-4 tornado 🌪️ of may 9, 2016-I’ve heard about the tornado and seen videos of it-this is the best footage of the twister 🌪️ I liked!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Pecos hank also documented this very storm. Check him out. Search Katie/ winniewood tornado
that has got to be the most beautiful white cone shaped tornado
That is a *swears* VIOLENT tornado. Unbelievable. Also be VERY careful, got awfully close to that monstrosity.
*swears* 😭
😂 Loved the "swears"! 🤣
I know some are sensitive to swear words but you simply writing "swears" is something I've never seen before. In bold lettering!
I don't even know how to make words in bold on CZcams though so what do I know?
Please don't take this as me making fun of or mocking. I truly don't mean it in a negative way. I'm more doing it as a friendly, shoulder punching type scenario.
@@Kelli.B. I feel ya Kelli. No harm, no foul. To make them bold, put stars on either side, the splats? * < these. *SPLATS!* put them directly next to the words, no spaces.
@MrArcadia2009 Thank you for letting me know!!
I appreciate that you didn't take my comment as rude or judgemental as it sincerely wasn't meant as such. It saddens me how often a simple comment receives an emotional, and often angry, response. I often feel the need to add a disclaimer to what I consider to be a fair discussion.
@@Kelli.B. well, as long as you let me know, NP. And you're welcome. I'm generally more chill than a lot of other people, no offense to everyone, I know we all got our problems.
Pure power. It's a hurricane condensed into a fraction of the area.
This is one of the craziest tornadoes I’ve seen on video!
Go look up the 2011 Tuscaloosa EF4. This one is creepy, but the Tuscaloosa tornado was a certifiable Cthulu monster.
@@torchthi3f869Yeah I remember that tornado live to this day. I was 10 years old at the time and had family in Tuscaloosa while it was happening. That tornado was a monster and tore that city to shreds
The "dead man walking" was a wild tornado..
Holy hell that's terrifying but beautiful at the same time if that makes sense
I absolutely thought you were doing a dark souls meme, giving it a health bar at the beginning.
Same but Zelda botw/totk for me
Ty ds
That thing is photogenic AF
Magnificent.
TENEBROSO 😮
one of natures cleaning machines.
As a child, where we lived in the country 8 miles from town, I remember this so well I was sitting on my mom's lap crying out of fear hearing a 🌪 going close by the house it sounded like a freight train going over the house it that point and time you don't no if your going to live or die.
Thats freakin scary!!!!
Thats one of the most perfect tornadoes ive ever seen
Definitely more overnight investigations!! Best paranormal videos on the internet. I love how real your videos are and how simply edited they are. CJ, you do a great job at making us feel part of your adventure.
The Katie EF4 was a Beeeeaaaasssst.
Wow... its beautiful.
Doesn’t even seem real….one hell of a fever dream to wake up to that
Even more 😨 is if it is like pitch darkness of the night. You can't see it, but only hear it. Now that my friend will be your worst-case of a nightmare.
As someone who’s lived in Louisiana for most of their life, I’ve seen both tornados and hurricanes and both are absolutely terrifying
I can appreciate why someone would want to be a storm chaser. It would have be such and incredibly scary rush to see something like this in person.
Great footage! Gorgeous and terrifying.
I think I love tornados too much
This is the strongest tornado i have ever seen
I loved the full video of this chase too. Incredible & excellent job!
As a Floridian I feel as though others could agree with me, tornadoes are 10x scarier than hurricanes. For hurricanes we have days sometimes even weeks to prepare, and go in land,to the point that we don’t even take hurricanes seriously sometimes. For tornadoes you have if you’re lucky a matter of minutes. Mother Nature is the most beautiful yet terrifying thing there is in this world.
Guys, storm chasing means, 'chasing' storms at a safe distance. NOT winding up directly inside of them. That lightning was a warning, power lines aside.
5:25-5:40 are INSANE: how fast, how massive, how loud, and how dark they move through and swallow everything.
Unless you're a professional, have the right experience and equipment, and know the E-rating. Glad you're safe, I know the experience is one you'll never forget. Thanks for sharing it 😮🙏
Wynnewood, Oklahoma - 5/9/2016 - EF4
The Katie Wynnewood EF4 is probably the most violent non wedge tornado ever recorded.
The moment you realize everyone became storm chasers...
That first clip, you should have zoomed in and make a short about that because that was crazy
I've seen the whole video of this beast. It was INCREDIBLE!!
That is so scary.
It's, prolific, that's for sure. Imagine if it were *_rain wrapped..._*
This few seconds made it look like a raid boss with the red underline being its health bar ☠️
They can turn directions on a dime over and over again. Absolutely horrifying.
Amazing and terrifying all at the same time. They are also mesmerizing.
Now this is just gonna give me nightmares because i havnt seen or experienced a tornado in my life yet and im only a teen. When i was about 6-12 years old i would often get nightmares of an intense tornado and i couldnt even sleep because of it. Seeing this just gives me chills 😶
So amazing and beautiful! I still want to chase storms at 38!
When it comes to tornadoes, Ian Malcolm says it best… “Oh yeah… ooohh, aaahh! That’s how it always starts. But there later, there’s running… & screaming.”
Isn't that what Geoff Goldblum's character says in Jurrasic Park?
The sky literally coming down to earth to tear you out the frame. Pretty scary looking sight but that's mother nature..
I live in Oklahoma. Tornadoes are very common here. May is the peak month. This particular tornado had violent rotation. This is what meteorologists call a stovepipe tornado because of its shape. A tornado doesn't have to be large to be powerful and destructive. This tornado would destroy brick houses. Sometimes when a tornado decreases in size it increases in strength. The widest tornado on record was 2.6 miles wide near El Reno, Oklahoma on May 31, 2013. Wind speeds were measured at 302mph in the field, but were likely higher at some point. Local chief meteorologist Gary England said the velocities on radar were unlike anything he had ever seen before.
I’m seeing all the birds 😢…that beast gives me the shivers and I’m glad to live in Washington State but I lived in Seattle during volcano eruption and an earthquake…
I agree. I've always been fascinated by tornadoes. If only they weren't destructive
Wow is amazing it reminds me of the movie twister. The fact people are just driving like it's a normal day is crazy lol
What's crazy scary about tornadoes is that you can see them when it's destroying things cuz you can't see an earthquake you can't see a hurricane you can't see a blizzard besides snow
thats what makes tornadoes extra fascinating
they almost seem like a living entity
Some of the most violent motion I’ve ever seen
It’s funny but scary how people who aren’t even trying to chase or be anywhere near a tornado end up being so close to them sometimes
I had to take a second look at this, because I thought it was really good CGI the first time. It looks almost abnormally clean
Thats like the perfect looking Twister
Super great video ty God bless and be safe 💯😊❤️💙💗💜☺️
Ok, that was unbelievable. I'm subscribing now. 👍
Fun fact: tornadoes are actually 100% invisible. Them being wind and all that
@Concordefann no a tornado itself is invisible. The reason we actually see it is from water droplets, dust, and debris.
@@coltonkyhl388 Tornado funnels are visible long before they touch the ground, it has nothing to do with debris as they are literally part of the cloud they are descending from and therefore will be the same color as said cloud.
the tornado has begun before the funnel hits the ground. @@Fightconnoisseur96
Air is transparent. However, the condensation funnel is synonymous with a tornado because of the low pressure associated with them.
Fun fact. People who say fun fact are really talking semantics.
To quote pecos hank, “tornados move like something of the living. Our brains aren’t able to process something that big being alive… so we stare.”
"It's the wonder of nature, baby!"
-Dusty, Twister
When one of those especially as massive as this, sets down on the ground its hard to imagine anything left behind at all. Just a massive Whirlwind accelerating upwards of 200 plus miles per hour it would just suck the wind from your lungs at its least. Worst nightmares for sure.
Why can't people,seek cover,& not think they're tougher than the weather?!!
Those are meteorologists and storm chasers gathering important data about the storm for the NWS and local news while also providing victim relief efforts..
Anyone who is afraid of tornadoes should focus that energy into learning about them. How they form, how they move etc. I suggest taking basic and advanced spotter training.
That’s literally a big ass cloud twirling on the earths floor crazy 🤯
My husband's brother and sister in law purposely moved to Oklahoma for some reason. Now I see exactly what that reason was. Looks like a really fun place to.
Massive EF4 I was following that tornado for a while cracked my front windshield chasing it
Darkly & absolutely terrifying .. never been in or around tornado’s & hope I never am. Weather events will always have the upper hand no matter how well they’re studied, monitored & or tracked .. mother nature’s fury & spontaneous glory can be like beauty & the beast, no special effects required. 😬
That’s terrifying.
I love tornadoes
Never got hit by one, but been too close too many times growing up in tornado alley.
Anyone else notice tornado alley seems to be shifting east or widening east?
Tornadoes look like cgi they’re so crazy! That’s why twister movies look more realistic than we think. Tornadoes are just THAT WILD.
Imagine what life was like before warnings and before people knew what tornados were.
Hank Schyma (aka Pecos Hank) has incredible footage of this tornado.
My question is, why are people driving toward it?
Because some are Storm chasing
And the others?
@@vorcrogaming3055they want to see it up close..nothing wrong with that
The other up close footage of this tornado is some of the best I’ve ever seen. It was extremely violent
That is one of the most photogenic tornadoes I've ever seen. Too bad it is a force of devastation and destruction. 😢
at the beginning of the video I thought they gave the tornado a health bar, while the music was playing like it was a boss battle
It must be amazing to see them in real life
and also kinda nerve-wracking at the same time. One came close me about a year ago.
we can all agree, they're amazing to watch from distances and on video but in person within an uncomfortable distance we're all shitting ourselves in fear
