    This footage puts the el reno tornado in the dead man walking category of violent multi votex structures. Its known to have had multiple vortices that were pushing winds at 300+ mph, but the early shape(s) give off the dead man walking appearance. Beautiful

    • @gothivore277
      @gothivore277 Před 2 lety +16

      It has to do with where he’s positioned to film the tornado. He is filming it from the north looking south which is why it has such high contrast but this comes with risks. MOST tornadoes move north east which is why most of the CZcams videos of this tornado are filmed from the south looking north. But on some rare occasions tornadoes can move south or even west. This particular tornado took every storm chaser by surprise and moved southeast while growing to a massive size then hooked left to a normal northeast trajectory

    For the past two years I have been mesmerized by this storm and it's mysterious haunting existence. So powerful and uncharacterized motion, movement, change of speed and exponential growth. I thought I had seen all the videos and I am stunned to stumble onto this one. Awesome job capturing not only a freak of nature, but a freak amongst freaks. Of course there are the same 5 idiots that bounce around giving every video they can watch a thumbs down. Just plain stupid people with nothing to do, probably pissed about the non- english speaking narration/ conversation.

    Best video of the El Reno sub-vortices I've seen thus far. This got me to thinking about the "ratings debate" which has been around awhile, along with a research paper I recently read (Orf, L. et al. (2017). "Evolution of a long-track violent tornado within a simulated supercell. Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society."). According to Dr. Orf, recent high resolution numerical simulations strongly suggest that the ground-level winds in some sub-vortices may be much higher than previously thought, possibly exceeding 500 mph. In turn, this reminded me of a recent video I saw in which a multi-ton freight car was send hurdling "hundreds of yards in the air", all courtesy of an alleged EF1 tornado. Somehow this is rather hard to believe. Some EF1 tornadoes do demonstrate sub-vortices, and I'm guessing that one of these at EF-4 or EF-5 level may have been the real real reason for the "flying train".

    I think the sub vortexes dropped or hung under the main funnel before it expanded. That, or they merged into one singular vortex that was so strong it created another set of 4 subs that actually grew to f4-f5 size and wind speed.... Like a super f5 with 4 other f5s circulating it almost perfectly. Scariest tornado in history and i pray its the last one

    • @Aarzu
      @Aarzu Před 3 lety +8

      Even more terrifying is just the week before this tornado hit, the Birdgecreek/Moore, OK area was hit with an EF5. The area where this one hit was VERY close to it. That area has been hit by so many severe tornadoes that if severe weather is forecasted for the day and it's a school day, school absences are excused and that's if officials don't cancel school preemptively.

    We've all seen Reed's footage from much closer, and distant video too, but this is the best video I've seen from a medium vantage point. Not only are the earlier multiple vortices visible, it's easy to see the structure they emerge from, and the evolving wedge they become. From that vantage point, we can see it as it becomes rain-wrapped, which is missing from most video shot from the South and East.

    The creepy multiple vortices and their incredible growth rate in such a short period of time had death written all over it. Being within 10 miles of such unstable conditions would be way too close for my comfort. The incredible footage taken of this tornado and knowing it killed people makes it one of the most haunting tornadoes to have ever been recorded in my opinion. If more people respected mother nature's power then it could have potentially saved some people's lives that day.

      -
      I'm Native American, and there is folklore behind the dead man walking. The term actually originated from the American Indians in the 19th century. The story goes that if you see the tornado walking, which is multi vortex as already stated, the person seeing it should die. If he survives, though he should've died, he is a dead man walking. It was known by my ancestors that this was a particularly dangerous type of tornado long ago.

    You both must be Swedish? I am Swedish also, but was born here in MN. My Grandparents came over from Sweden shortly after they were born, Grandpa in 1915, Grandma in 1917 in retrospect. You guys come to America to chase, or do you live here?

    I wonder at which point did the outer circulation expand to include the entire area of rotating rain curtains.

      sabishiihito It's hard to say exactly when however after watching many videos, looking at research papers, and information from radar I can say it was before the tornado crossed highway 81. When it impacted the weather channel crew it was already rain wrapped as you can see by various camera angles from the weather channel coverage. When looking at radar, the debris ball was initially moving southeast and clear from rain and then as it turned more easterly the rear flank caught up with the circulation.

      @@SusanKay- I can tell you that even prior to tornadogenesis, the supercell was firing out powerful positive strikes all around it. I was a couple miles away and still retreated to the car when the positive strikes started!

    Interesting how almost unassuming it looks. It seems so wispy and disorganized, certainly not something to get close to but not the monster it became. Truly tragic how much different this event may have gone down in history had there not been the associated deaths.

    can someone tell me... the first two minutes you look at the vortexes and you can see how fast the wind speeds are moving. Being out in an open field with no flying debris (dust maybe).. doesn't anyone else think that you could walk through that tornado in that field and not get hurt?? At the beginning I'm saying..

      Interesting question. I realized once in straight line winds czcams.com/video/CFpou4wSQy4/video.html that everything beyond EF2 strength (200 km/h or 120 mph) is not doable anymore, because even small soil particles become bullets that start to rip your skin and clothes apart.

    This tornado was deceptive in-that it was rain-wrapped, which made it very hard to see the tornado. It also was nearing 3 miles in width at 2.6 miles wide. It was the widest ever measured on earth. It had multiple vortices, it lasted 40 minutes traveling 16.2 miles.
    It killed 18 people. Since it was evening, chasers as well as all others should have been taking shelter rather than stalking the tornado. This tornado was one huge boobytrap. Night chasing a monster like this was very stupid.
