If Dr. Fujita lived to see the Moore, Oklahoma tornado, he would have gone "Just when I thought I saw it all, that's the strongest tornado that I've seen on camera. Makes me wonder how many vortices were in that tornado. This is even worse than Xenia, Ohio and Jarrel, Texas."

I remember when I was teaching English in Korea and for some bizarre reason the school wanted to aim at the kids not having a detectable Korean accent. I pointed out that this was: 1. Virtually impossible and 2. Totally pointless. Using Ted Fujita as an example, I pointed out that Westerners are totally accustomed to immigrants who are not native speakers and are not considered inferior because of those accents. Tornados are a primarily American phenomenon, and the foremost expert, who developed our rating system and for whom it was named, was Japanese and had a Japanese accent. I remember the futility of trying to get this across to the Koreans. But then, the Korean language doesn't even have a word for "immigrant." The idea that somebody could be a foreigner, obviously and unmistakably a foreigner, and be considered just as important as -- or even more important than -- natives just didn't compute. But thank you, Ted Fujita. I tried.

Carbon Copy of the 2011 Cullman Tornado. Look at those Horizontal Vortices. 5:41 a true sign of a Violent Tornado

Does anyone know where this footage was captured from?

11:45 - 11:58 Oh how I wish that were true😢

2:56 you can see this is a dead man walking tornado indicating it to be insanely powerful

Do you mind if I use some of this footage in a small mini doc? I grew up in Boone right next to Jordan (which is really just a grain elevator, railroad crossing, hwy intersection these days. Used to drive by it on the way to school in 6th grade and thought about how there was a town there once and now it's just woods and fields. I'm still in central Iowa and was thinking about doing a mini doc. Anyways, get back to me if you can.

Whoa

It looks and sounds like spring in Oklahoma.

Wow what a tornado 🌪

thats a great amazing capture of a 1 in a billion weather phenomena

This was one of the 7 EF4s that occurred during the Outbreak of June 2-3, 1990. The tornado shown in this video killed 1 person. The tornado formed North of Aden, IL then slammed into the city of Mount Carmel, IL. Soon, the tornado crossed the Illinois-Indiana border and headed straight for the city of Petersburg, IN then head Southeast of Huron, IN.

Exactly two weeks before that tornado outbreak that spawned that F5 that flattened Andover, Kansas. And about the same time that tragedy was unfolding there Howard Bluestein was in central Oklahoma where he recorded the highest windspeed ever recorded in a tornado at that time.

This Is a crazy!! I'm so sad forma the people for this tornado. 😢 I'm sorry people of USA. Go bendiciones👼🙏 Fromm México😊. ❤

Can I use some of your chasing videos? What are the restrictions/terms on them?

3:30 two strikes of lightning 🌩 close

I remember we got caught in a hailstorm on the East side of Winfield that day. The insurance check for the damage to my car paid for my new Central Heat and Air system.

Wedge Tornado

Same outbreak as Hesston, Kansas. Grand Island, Nebraska was also hit that day.

Storm chaser steak & eggs at Aunt Megs... I hear her gravy includes all the food groups!

Unreal

Absolutely breathtaking video of a bow tie funnel. Truly in awe right now🌪🎀🌪

I love Twister.

32 years have passed since this happened.

Man, it's just creeping. Looks to be going so slow!!

I was 7-8 yrs old when this happened I live in AC personally I don’t recall this cause it’s been so long ago when I was a kid plus we’ve had so many come through hard to keep track

What a wildly beautiful tornado. The vorticity at the base, the high contrast funnel, the eventual classic stove pipe features. Thanks for this upload

2 weeks later, Andover would get it - bad!

At 2:16, I hear a siren, but it doesn't stay on.

Looks like a solid F3

I was in grade school at Marquette, we had played kickball after school that afternoon. I had just gotten home when the siren went off. I remember being in the basement and seeing one of our large maple trees being bent to the ground through the little basement window. The tornado literally twisted around Marquette passing just to the East of town. It's getting close to fifty years but still a vivid memory.

VortexVa your channel is a treasure trove of videos from my childhood and more

I was in Sullivan, Illinois at my cousin's wedding reception when an EF 3 tornado rolled thru that June 2, 1990 afternoon. Pretty wild. I was 11 yrs old.

Wow

noodle vortices

WOW

I remember this one too

Somewhere a 1973 era Reed Timmer is loudly miming, "MULTIVORTEX!!!"

Very interesting tornado. Great video!

God I love the birds at the end of the video chirping again!

The guys who took shelter near that drainage system, you can't fault them in 1964 not knowing that was bad decision, cuz they didn't know. Shame that lesson wasn't learned until many other people have attempted to take shelter in similar dangerous places. Thanks for archiving this kind of stuff.

Good to have you back, man.

Actually the date of the Wichita Falls, Texas F5 was April 3rd, 1964.

Woah. Welcome back lol

It’s awesome to see you back

Oh that looks bad

All that cad computers and man hours obsolete

That farmer is looking at him like he’s crazy makes me mad he should have a Nobel prize
