That guy said a woman with her bottom half gone 😨🙁😢. Dang bodies was dismembered 😨🙁😢. This tornado 🌪️ was a monster . Rest In Peace to the people that lost their lives that horrible day🕊️🙏🏽.
The complexity of tht storm, no shear, a gravity wave triggering the storms, the stalled boundary
Also with the thunderstorm moving southwestward the order of events went in the opposite order in a tornadic event. And there was no hook echo with the Jarrell tornado. And there should of been a hook echo.
@@Sj430 yeah tht lack of shear didnt give the rotational reflectivity, i still dont understand how it was still able to spin up and what gave the tornado its spin,
@@Tatteredghost96 nobody will ever know
@@Tatteredghost96 pure convection with dump truck loads of MLCAPE
In my mind, this is the most horrifying tornado I've ever heard of! This thing was so brutal and vicious, grinding up everything in its path. Nowhere to hide. It looked so crazy as a rope, before it got huge! You can see the immense power of it from the very beginning!
They are called 'drillbits' when they are small and powerful.
Even when it was a thin rope, you could see a central skinny tornado within the rope, it looked violent for a thin rope, them becoming the bringer of death.
The crazy part about that storm was everyone who survived weren't in the direct path of the tornado. The houses that had debris left behind (like LaDonna's) were hit by F4 winds. They were outside the act actually "footprint" of the tornado. Nothing inside survived. That's insane!
I was about 7 or 8 years old much further south in Austin. My folks thought about going to the store, and they soon thought better of it. When the storms hit Jarrell and the few hit the Austin area we were at home. The store we were initially going to go to, had the roof demolished. My dad who worked the graveyard shift at the P.O. went back home to check on us.
Me and my sister seen this tornado when it first started forming coming towards us on I25. We were close to stillhouse lake going to our cousins house. This tornado terrified me and it’s the reason I’m terrified of storms. The air was soo thick this day I remember telling my sister before we got in the car that something bad was coming.
Our intuition is always right. I heard the air was so sticky that day. I'm so glad you are here to tell your story. Such a traumatic thing to witness.
People talked about a green sky, in maybe this Tornado, or one like it. 🙏
As you say, the air was really thick; convective available potential energy was nearly 8,000 joules per kilogram of air. It's normally well below 1,000.
@9:10 Just look at how fast that thing is spinning. Even when it just started, you could tell there was an immense amount of power to it. A true "finger of God" event.
1:00 Thanks for that snippet of footage I've never seen. KCENN has some of the highest quality and some of the more insane angles of it during its peak power. The horizontal vorticies and the wind rowing was downright unbelievable. Rip to all the victims of this historically tragic event.
Agreed. The shot at about 1:03 shows just how violent that hung was. The upward velocity in that thing was incredible. It looked like it was boiling to me. I remember Dr Ted Fujita talking about the 1974 Sayler Park F5 on the outskirts of Cincinnati and how insane the upward movement in that particular tornado was in the 160-200mph range. Looking at Jarrell’s storm reminds me of that one and then some. I think some/most people think tornadoes winds blow in a straight line. Of course we know now that they do blow out, suck in, suck up, blow down etc….all these crazy dynamics happening at one time. I just can’t imagine what kind of power this thing had. Forward winds in the range of 250mph +. The violently rising upward winds probably well above 150 mph as well. And moving so slowly that it could literally be sitting over your home for a full minute or more. Being subjected to that type of force is unfathomable.
i could never live in a state that has tornados
Every state has tornados.
@@Elysian777I know but I mean.. I grew up in New England and have lived in the Hudson Valley for an age and I’ve never seen one in person.
I’m 51!
They terrify me.
I remember hearing about this as a teenager. Figured it would be the worst. Far more were to come
Thats crazy my mama was living in Georgetown at the time it happened luckily my family survived the tornado in 97 I was born in 98 my brother was 4 and my sister was 2 at the time
imagine strolling into double creek omfg if we ever hsd a video of that people would understand the fury and
violemce even more
Someone stated the dew point was 82 that morning!
Wow
Explain to me what that means please? What's the significance?
That air had to be so thick you could almost swim through it! I've experienced dew points in the 70s, which is miserable, I can't even imagine how nasty an 82% dew point must feel!
@@wadewilson8011 a high dew point, which makes the air super muggy, can help fuel strong storms as it makes the atmosphere very unstable.
Tornado winds are not necessarily higher the bigger it is, in some cases it is actually higher when smaller like a a spinning ice skater when she brings in her arms. 3/4 of a mile is fairly large but not in comparison to others such as El Reno in 2013. Nobody will ever know how fast the winds were. 260+ is just a best guess especially since the tornado was moving so slow. In fact one scientist actually believes the winds may have been F3 strength. But nevertheless, the damage was so extreme it is a baseline for all other tornadoes. Nobody who lived in the strongest part of the tornado survived. Mrs. Peterson's family survived because they probably lived a couple of hundred yards from the center. I visted the Jarrell Memorial a couple of weeks ago. There were trailer houses about 200 yards from the Igo's lot where the memorial is located. I hope there is a storm shelter near.
May not be a storm shelter but guaranteed to be a lot of ignorance if they are putting up trailers.
The winds that pulled the pavement up had to be 260mph+ to do that kind of damage
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
The scream at around 4:30 only makes his grim commentary that much heavier!
Am sorry all it would take is one time for me to go through something like that & am gone & also it should be required by law that every home in places like that have an underground basement like in Miami it's required by law that every building built must have hurricane proof windows since hurricane Andrew hit us in 92
Me and my husband and his friend Tommy Black were at the washateria in Houston when when that happened. Tommy's mother live there and no one said a word about him or his mother on the last video I watched. And we were all together in Houston. We heard this unfold on the radio. There were no cell phones. And the last people never even mentioned her name. Maybe his information is off. I'm speaking of the one in Terrell Texas
Jarrell?
Americans are such good and compassionate people. Such good hearted. I’m so proud my parents immigrated to this country ! RIP to all who lost their lives. Both people and animals!!
🙏🏾
I want to be in one of these 😢
So you wanna die???
Jarrell had 20 min heads up- they could have gotten in cars and left.
I love her.
you got it bro
We Lift Up All The Life, All Life, Livestock too, for they look at us, who were created In Our Giver of Life's Image without a doubt, that the Horrors of Life are still watching what was placed here on a Planet GOD knows very well and can happen.

I know this all about the tornado and tragedy but is anyone gonna mention the male presenters horrendous make up, his neck is a completely different colour to his face, you can really tell when he turns his head
🙄
🙄
Yep. And I noticed they keep the old guys but replace the women with younger models. Irritating that the girl newscaster wasn't even around when this happened.
Bad make-up person. Maybe a fill-in. Anything can happen.
@@Elysian777they don’t put old girls on TV much.
