As a farm kid, I have seen what hail can do to a corn crop. One hailstorm completely shredded the leaves and young corn right off the stalk.
Had a hailstorm in Austin, TX. one year that broke every window in a two story house, and then flooded the house.
Arthur the puppy is a very new addition and Lawrence also now has dual citizenship as he became an American citizen.
Here in Pennsylvania we frequently have severe thunderstorms that shake the ground, hail is rarer but when it happens there are a lot of insurance companies that aren't too happy about the sudden onslaught on claims of broken windshields, dented cars, and home damage.
Wind damage is common as well and flash flooding.
We have some tornado activity here but nothing compared to the southern and midwestern states.
When I was a kid one surrounded our apartment building thankfully just a few minutes.
I can attest to the fact they do sound like freight trains.
hurricane season is here where i live in southeast texas just off the gulf..gets REAL interesting here
True That! Just a few days ago on The Clock App was saying that their Heat is worse in the world, and when Americans tried to explain it to her how America is worse. She shot back with but the UK has Humidity. I’d pay money to watch her make it through just 1 year here in New Orleans
We generally have two kinds of thunderstorms: A system coming through that lasts a while but will have peaks and valleys over a few hours. Second type is the pop up thunderstorm in mid-late afternoon that just comes out of nowhere. The pop up type is usually done in 20-30 mins.
To be fair we can get tornadoes out of either type. Usually these massive fronts that spawn a bunch of tornadoes move at 30mph or more. In 2011 I was actually in Germany but was tracking a huge storefront back home that had a ton of tornadoes across the southeast. Tens of thousands of roofs in our city were damaged by hail and ended up being replaced. Lots of cars damaged as well. Cars can end up looking like a golf ball from all the dents.
It's best to go into a storm cellar or basement during a tornado. But if you don't have either, your next best bet is a room central in the building and away from windows which is American homes is usually a bathroom
Just yesterday NY got 7 inches of rain in 3 hrs that flooded out an apartment complex. We didn’t quite have that much yesterday afternoon but enough where the deep ditch banks overflowed onto the highway here in the mid Atlantic.
Thunderstorms are Midwesterner’s favorite weather. It’s generally just extremely loud with crazy lightning and moderate winds. We often sit on the porch during tornado sirens. The Derecho was the first time I actually went to the basement. I thought a tornado was hitting my house.
We get thunderstorms almost every july with warm rain i love them! Weve got uk weather largely no tornados hurricaines!
The thing I'm not hearing is how the rain goes horizontal in many thunderstorms, not down. The winds get very fast, enough to knock out the power. I remember running with weak legs and gasping (from fear) for the basement many times when i was a kid in Michigan because it was easy to think a tornado was out there. The good thing is these don't last long, maybe 10 minutes.
In 1974, I was graduating from high school in small town Eureka, KS in the USA. Our sport teams were fittingly named the Eureka Tornadoes. During the graduation ceremony, we had to retreat to the basement and locker rooms because 5, yes 5, tornadoes were encircling our town. On the good ol' days! 🤔
In Texas it's fairly common to get golf ball sized hail in spring thunderstorms. Occasionally baseball size hail
We had storms over the last few day, they are quick and powerful. Last night, in two hours, several towns recorded six+ inches of rain. As for tornadoes 🌪, been there in the bathroom where I kept a full suitcase, flashlight, and bottles of water. Sat through one in my car, which I do not recommend it, but it was sudden and luckily small.
Growing up in Colorado, I remember golf ball sized hail breaking windows and denting cars
Had a pickup truck worth 20k one minute.....5k the next.....crazy hail... Throw a few white tailed deer into the mix (4) to be more accurate and my chevy is complete sh!t...but still rollin down the highway dents n all with 367k miles
For severe weather, Mount Washington in New Hampshire had a wind gust of 231 mph in 1934, which was the world record for 75 years. The combination of very high winds and very cold temperatures they've often had wind chills below -100 F.
Here in Southwestern Ontario, we receive numerous severe thunderstorms and even occasional tornadoes. Just two days ago and northeast of here, Ottawa was hit with a violent tornado. They are still assessing the damage. 😥🇨🇦
Growing up in Texas, in hurricane country, I have seen things. 🤣
Yeah, that storm was massive.
We were driving around running some errands when the sky turned BLACK even though it was noon. And the rain hit so bad we couldn't even see where we were going, and it immediately overwhelmed all the storm grates, so half the streets flooded, and some were totally washed out and had to be blocked off by the cops.
It only rained for about half an hour, but it was the heaviest rain I've ever seen.
And keep in mind Chicago is like a six hour drive south of where I am, so that was a huge storm to hit us both.
Here in the Midwest where I live I have seen thunderstorms drop rain at a sustained rate of 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) per hour for multiple hours. That sustained rate is not common but has occurred. Thunderstorms in the south that originate from Hurricanes can be far worst as they have a lot more moisture to unload and very high winds. In 1974 one of worst F5 tornados struck the town of Xenia, Ohio about 25 miles from my home. I saw the damage it did and it was terrible. An F5 wind speed is 261 to 318 MPH ( 417 to 508 KPH). Thank for an interesting video you gentlemen have a blessed day.
Live just over the border in Indiana. Remember that year, the tornado literally split the Ohio river near saylor park. We could see the tornado from our house. Found someone's checkbook from Ohio.
One of the worst storms I have experienced wasn't a hailstorm, no tornadoes, it didn't even have all that much wind. It started out a beautiful spring morning, with temperatures around 60° Fahrenheit. I left for the mall in shorts and a t-shirt. On the bus ride there I saw BLACK clouds poring over the top of the mountains, and by the time I went to catch the bus back home an hour and a half later, the temperature had dropped 30 degrees, and over a foot of snow covered everything, it was over 30 more minutes before the bus showed up. Even the snow plows were caught off guard, the drivers had trouble even getting from their homes to the plows to start clearing the roads. I don't know of anyone dying, but it definitely was a mess.
Here in Florida, a thunderstorm is so common that I can almost set my watch to it. During the Summer we get thunderstorms daily until September. They can last 5 minutes to hours long, and each one makes the daylight turn to midnight darkness within seconds. We can even throw in a hurricane or a tornado or two as well. As I am a severe weather geek, I love all these storms. The crazier the better.
I love how they rain down one side of the road but not the other. That always amused me.
@@SGlitz I love it when the front of my car is getting rained on, while the back of it is bone dry.
I am a Florida native and definitely LOVE thunderstorms! When I was a kid my Dad would sit out on the porch and watch the storms. He was born in the mountains of Tennessee and they had cool storms, but not the violent kind like here. I don't agree with 89 a year because almost every afternoon we get a storm. Like you said minutes to hours or even days.
I went out of state for college and was homesick for the storms. My Yankee neighbors say something about the storm keeping them awake and I ask when? I sleep through them and so do my dogs.
I promised myself I would not live in a place where there are no decent storms.... like where I went to college. People complained about the thunderstorms and I thought don't come home with me if these scare you....
I can remember running outside to take the laundry down because I saw rain in front yard that never made it to the clothesline! Multiple times in my teenage years. My Mom came home to see the laundry coming out of the dryer and thought I was just being lazy. Luckily, my Dad could tell her about the rain.
On my many travels in the UK I did not think it rained very hard. Our rain can actually hurt when it comes down really hard. Not very painful, but you do notice it. Uk rain is more like our northern winter rainy days. I remember thinking it was not as bad as I expected because of what people say. I usually went in May except for a December trip to London and an August trip to Scotland (to avoid a political convention). The Edinburgh Royal Military Tattoo was great that year which was the Queen's 60th Jubilee and the theme was Diamonds Are Forever. (And it did not rain!) Experienced more rain in Scotland than England over all my trips and less in Wales than the others.
About a month ago, I was coming home from visiting my dad at the hospital. I stopped to get a burger, dad called, I got an alert on my phone all at the same time. Talking to dad as I pulled out of the drive through, in the distance about a mile or so away, I saw what looked to be rotating clouds but couldn’t be certain. Drove home in a horrible rain and hail storm. Turns out that was a tornado moving in the opposite direction of me, fortunately it was a mile or so away. Ended up destroying 16000 trees, and damaging 1000’s of homes and businesses in a suburb of Denver. Tornado’s this close to the mountains is very rare!
@Hardrock1a
Wow, you were very luck there.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Cheers
On my 20 minute walk home from work yesterday, there was sunshine, then wind, back to sunshine, then it hammered rain for about 45 seconds, then it was sunny again. Also, there has been plenty of times where it's been raining cats and dogs in my back garden, but when I open my front door it's all blue skies, and drier than an average Brit's wit.
Welsh weather! Always handy to have some wellies to hand!
I've read that 75% of world tornadoes are on the USA each year. Makes sense when you consider a tornado is caused by a clash between cold and hot air fronts, & hundreds of miles of open land to develop.
The geography is perfect for it. Massive mountain range to the west that allows cool air to barrel south down the plains, the moist tropical air being blown north from the Gulf. Perfect for tornadoes.
Hail is often clumps of hail. Imagine several golf balls glued together.
I was in Cheyenne several years ago and we had golf ball sized hail. I was in my truck getting pelted and hoping and praying the hail wasn't going to break my windshield. That day there was a bus that did have it's windshield broken by the hail.
Lawrence lives in a large house that has a full basement. No doubt that is where they sat out the tornado warning.
Terrible thunderstorm here last night -- sure kept us awake!
Regarding weather, there is nothing more frightening than getting caught in a Florida lightning storm, and no footage of one does it justice, you really have to experience one live..
Florida lightning is terrifying. A family member once described it as "something out of War of the Worlds," and it's impossible to capture that eerie feeling in the air on any video.
Here in Nebraska we had a tornado warning this summer that lasted about 3 hours! It would be cancelled just to be reinstituted minutes later. Chaotic, but as far as I know, no harm was done. I was a little uneasy driving to work during the event, but was under the delusion that the most recent cancellation would hold.
I think Chicago actually had a large tornado a couple of days after you guys posted this. It doesn't happen that often in Chicago, but much of America has had horrible weather for a couple of months now.
During bad storms trees are uprooted.
Larry Brown really carrying the load for brit reactors again 😂 funny seeing all the brit react channels piggyback on his content
It’s now referred to as gorilla hail
Hail that will break windshields and dent cars, maybe even total it, is not that abnormal.
Hail can do some serious damage. We had a hailstorm a couple years ago. Hail looked like golf balls. Put big dents in cars, damaged roofs, wind tore siding of houses. It didn't last long but did a lot of damage. I live just east of Chicago in Indiana.
I am from Northwest Indiana about a half hour from Chicago. I can tell you we do get thunderstorms that last for days!
We had a hail storm this summer sized from golf ball to baseball sized, in East Texas! No electricity for 3 days, in 90 degree heat!
We have had tornados here in New York every year, generally not nearly as many as the Midwest or South, nor as powerful, but they do cause damage. We have had 10 thunderstorms in the past 2 weeks.
Nearby bodies of water definitely affect storms.
He was in Chicago so huge lake!
You're by the ocean so....
Well, in the UK your thunderstorms don't morph into tornadoes, nor do you get 35-40mph winds with them either (typically). At least the ones I was in when I was there.
A tornado WARNING means a funnel cloud has been sighted or a tornado has touched down. A WATCH means conditions are favorable for creation of one.
When I was 8 years old we had a super outbreak with 148 tornadoes in 13 states (plus parts of Canada) within 24 hours. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage was done and over 300 people were killed. We didn't have the warning systems then we have today. This was almost 50 years ago. We've only had a couple of outbreaks like it in the world since then.
I believe he was just trying to say that America as a whole gets more storms like tornadoes,hurricanes,floods and thunderstorms more often than the UK. He didn’t say that you don’t get any.Just that it happens more frequently here.
Oooooo BP1 has had a few storms in the last few years lol. Adorable! So far this year the U.S. has had 843 tornadoes, and 74 deaths from them. I gotta say, that's even shocking to Americans because it isn't that obvious. Everyone here probably thinks there's been maybe 10 tornadoes at most. Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana have seen most of them. I can't imagine my city being destroyed, then a week later here comes another tornado. It's crazy!
@FourFish47
Yes, we don't quite get it, as our storms are very few and far between.
We moan about the weather enough as it is, if we had 843 tornados in the past year, we would do nothing else than talk about the weather.
We do not get weather that extreme, tornados are not something we have to deal with, maybe the odd strong winds but nothing on that scale.
Thanks for the comment.
@@BritPopsReact I really envy you for your weather because tornadoes are terrifying especially if you live in a mobile home like me. I don't want my home to be mobile! Lol Now we're having heat waves. Phoenix Arizona has been above 110° F (43° C) for 10 days and it's expected to continue. 😰
I was managing a small zoo in Upstate NY back in the mid 90s when a tornado came ripping through the Catskill area. Our sky turned green the rain was smacking the windows like sheets, small branches were zipping overhead. The only "below" ground spot I had to hide in was our crocodilian pool. It was a small pool, I had to squeeze in with the crocs and gators for about 20 minutes until the storm passed.
Most of the time those downwards spikes are just SLC or scary looking clouds and are usually benign. You need to also check rotation which you can observe.
5:06 that is not the largest hailstone I have ever held…. Try a softball.
8:54 for the record… it is presumed one tornado but they haven’t ruled out the possibility that it could be a series or a family of tornadoes.
10:35 the Jarrell, Texas 1997 F5 tornado produced the worst damage of any tornado to date. When emergency services arrived for rescue efforts they realized immediately that it would be unlikely for people above ground to survive. If you look at 2011 Joplin EF5 you can see evidence that structures existed. Jarrell there was nothing left only slabs. Not even pipes sticking out of the ground. It pulverized brick and splintered wood. It even tore asphalt off the ground and removed all the top soil exposing the bedrock.
No matter where you go, everyone has there “weather-cross” to bear. Some get sudden dramatic storms, others get prolonged durations, and some have the problem of not enough storms (water).
It’s like the old adage: “Everyone wants to complain about the weather. But no one ever wants to do anything about it.” 🤷♂
The thing is, there is absolutely nothing anyone can do about their weather, other than relocate to a region more suitable to their desires. Our weather and climate is controlled by cosmic forces. The suns activity, the planets orbit, the earths axis all play a huge part when it comes to weather systems and climate. CO2 has close to zero impact, despite the latest narrative.
I'm sorry, BP1, drops his load? 😂😂😂 I get thunderstorm warnings 15 min in advance. I've been getting a couple times a day for a few weeks now. And yes, they're accurate. They can last for a few minutes or all day long. We don't get a lot of tornados, they usually stay offshore. I like lost in the pond. I watch it for humor.. Especially when he went to home depot and Lowe's. Oh, do you get hurricanes?
When I was five years old, there was a big tornado in Waco, Tx, where I lived at the time.
That was before most people had TVs, there was no weather reports to speak of, no weather radar, and very little warning before tornadoes hit. Late in the afternoon my father called mother from his office and said a tornado was in downtown Waco, his office building was shaking and he didn't know if it would hold up. He had advised Mother to gather the three of us kids in a closet in the house until the tornado had cleared the area. She was pregnant at the time with my youngest brother, and as she told me years later, no way in hell was she getting into a closet with three screaming brats the way she felt. We managed to get through it OK, but over 200 people in Waco died that afternoon, including a couple of kids from my kindergarten class who had been taken to the downtown area after class that day.
Ask the Beesleys I know they got in touch with Him
@ninjafirewolf
Cheers for the suggestion, we will give that a try
All the best
Good video, Lawrence is a funny dude. That is some nasty looking hail.
Heat showers are produced from extreme heat coming up and they create cumulus clouds which I'm sure you see in UK sometimes. But with extreme heat they can rise very high making strong storms. It takes strong updrafts to keep hail suspended to get very big. To keep a very large hail stone in the freezing layer takes mind boggling updrafts. They also down draft cooler air .
Some of ours last for hours!
There's a storm going on outside my window as I'm watching this, lol.
I'm amazed at how Lawrence went to go hide in the downstairs toilet, I'd probably be standing out on the front porch because I want to see just how bad this storm really is. Hey I love to live dangerously unless death is a possibility. Then I'd go report the conditions to scaredy cats down in the basement i.e mother (and my wife) over for a visit. So I'd say Lawrence is a little overly cautious but then we don't live in Oklahoma, I would probably leave the state every spring. I'm afraid to drive through the plains states in the spring because I don't want hail damage.
As a whole, the U.S. averaged 1,233 tornadoes annually from 2000 to 2019. Maybe you should do a reaction to a tornado video.
Illinois thunderstorms ain't got nothin' on Florida thunderstorms. Here in Central Florida, thunderstorms are almost daily occurrences in the summer. Many times they spawn tornados. In the past week or so we've been in a daily pattern of thunderstorms moving eastwards from the Gulf of Mexico. Each day starts out the same: Early morning the sky is blue, the sunshine is brilliant, temps starting the day in the 80s. Then it starts going downhill. By noon it's so dark outside we turn on the lights. The rain
starts and is torrential, the lightning and thunder varying in intensity. This lasts about about 30-40 minutes or so, and then the sun shines again. By late afternoon it gets cloudy and dark. Around 6pm comes lightning and thunder with pouring rain for about another hour or so. If we're lucky, there's no storm during the night. BUT about a week ago we were awakened by the scariest storm we ever experienced. Imagine lightning flashes so close together it looked like a laser show, the resulting claps of thunder overlapping each other creating a non-stop crashing rumble. This only lasted about 5 minutes but it seemed like an eternity. At least there were no tornados associated with it. Yeah, Illinois msy beat us in tornados, but Florida's tops in thunderstorms.
YT channel Geography King has a good video explaining US weather (excl. Alaska and Hawaii): "Climate in the US - Why's It Like That?"
Florida is the lightning capital of the US
The US has more tornadoes than any other place in the world
Always enjoy the variety of your reactions and done well as usual.
I want to remind you that I recommend a live concert they did, since you enjoy LIVE performances. Yet, Im still waiting for your reaction to their "2016 PopSpring Concert", which was sponsored by MTV where the video and audio are terrific...make my day !!!
Hey guys, please reach out to Lawrence, I would love to see that.
@willrobinson4976
Hi Will, we have tried to contact him on his Twitter account, but we didn't hear back, I will try and pop some comments on his YT channel, if you can all do the same, maybe we can get something going, it would be fun to have him on the channel.
Cheers.
We are live Sunday
@@BritPopsReact Sounds good
😁✌️
I live near Dallas, Texas and it can sometimes rain so hard, you simply can't drive in it and have to pull over, preferably under an overpass. The rain drops are huge and splatter so hard against the windshield the wipers just don't function at all and even if they did, you couldn't see far enough ahead to drive in it. But it makes no difference if it is raining or not, Texas drivers are the worst!
Derecho - not "der-esh-io" but Dare-i-co
Wrong. It's a Spanish word and is pronounced phonetically in English as "deh-REY-cho". There is no "dare" nor "i" sound whatsoever. Your pronunciation isn't even remotely close to correct.
