1. I have never ever heard of the Government telling people to evacuate during a tornado... Must've been a truly powerful monster.
2. at 1:31 it is so scary to look at
3. into the storm remasterd
4. it also created an anti cyclonic tornado to the south of it for a little while
5. I looked at a tornado face to face when I was 9 years old through my window when it hit or town. It was coming straight at me but at the last second it went right and ripped a roof off the neighbors house. God spared my life that day I'm 32 today.
6. Great video and music to go along with it! I especially appreciate the absence of panic-stricken passenger audio.
7. I know it's sad and surprising to know this EF5 Monster wiped out 3 of the most Experienced Storm Chasers in the United States. But thank goodness it didn't hit El Reno or some other City Directly
8. Goin' green baby!
   
   storms git me pumped up mayon!!!
9. Question skip. Why exactly did they change the way they measure tornadoes on the Fujita scale? I thought it was more accurate when they measured them based on their wind speeds
10. At 1:18 it looked like you were gonna hit that car until my brain clicked back in to that fact that this is timelapsed
11. If the difference between the outside air pressure and inside air pressure is 1.5 lbs/in, that is enormous. Do the math. If a building has a roof that measures 40 ft by 20 ft, which is a small building, that is 800 square ft. x 144 x 1.5 = 172,800 lbs of upward pressure pulling that roof off.
    
    The pressure differential is why roofs get sucked up by the wind.
12. 2.6 mile wide tornado....huuuuuge....and it just so happened to be an EF3! NOT 5!
13. Its an EF-3.
14. EF6
15. Hey this tornado was an EF3 not an EF5
16. That music is just pure awesome
17. I can't find the music anywhere
18. What is the music the epic one
19. R.I.P Carl Young, and Paul and Tim Samaras. Tim was my favorite storm chaser too im so sad!
20. Amazing video. Sorry for those you lost 💗🙏🏼
