tennvolfan Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 While not as up close as some in the thread, this tornado touched down in April 1996 near Mountain Home, Arkansas, killing 7 including NFL quarterback Kurt Warner's in-laws who were camping in a popular area called Sylamore Creek. It crossed some incredibly rough terrain of the Ozarks, which basically had no effect on this beast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqMvaHv5IC0 EDIT: for anyone interested, NWS Little Rock has a nice summary of this event: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/lzk/?n=tor041496.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye05 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 This one in College Park MD, but it's not as good without the audio. The howling winds as the students huddle in the hall is pretty scary in the original. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdxUQbuK_r4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calamity Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Huge bump, but I recently came across some impressive tornado videos that I had to share. June 23, 1998 Columbus, NE tornado. Very violent rotation, but was apparently only an F2. Part II June 8, 1995 Pampa, TX tornado. At 6:00, classic close-up of debris being spun around the vortex. August 31, 1994 Spain tornado. This video has an age-restriction for some reason, but it's too awesome not to embed. In general, everything from the YouTube user that I posted above is pretty good. Also, the June 16, 1992 F5 Chandler, MN tornado. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoxUYEYD1CI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I still can't get over how lucky those people were. They were in a 'pocket' of EF-2 damage with EF-3 damage directly to their north, west, and south. And EF-4/EF-5 damage about 1/2 to 1 block to their west.

NCsandhills Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Failed attempt at a Darwin Award. i wanted to punch that guy in the face for laughing so much like that. so unbelievably annoying. i dont know if any of you have seen the joplin tornado chronicles, but it's a great 5 episode video series on youtube taken by nuhurizon. i'm showing you ep 3, it starts off as them a few blocks from their house, driving into rangeline. then they get to the walmart parking lot, and it's the...scariest thing you'll ever see, especially knowing people died there. episode 5 is also insane, watching the residents of joplin all out on the streets walking around confused, scared, no house, no car, no cell phone, nowhere to go. seeing the looks on their faces. the shock. if you watch the whole thing i dont blame you but, if you dont have enough patience then skip ahead to 9:00 and watch from there. the driver parks and they get out of the car and he just tapes the street. i believe it was 20th street, it was right past dillon's grocery where Lantz Hare died. be warned, in ep 5 at 2:10 a pickup truck drives past with dead bodies in the bed of the truck. skip past it if you do not wish to see.

calamity Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Just came across this different angle of 1991 Andover, KS tornado. It's pretty neat seeing the tornado transform from a rope-like, Wizard of Oz-esque tornado into a giant wedge. I think you can time 2:30 into the video with the tornado's closest approach to . Also, holy crap at how far that piece of debris shot out of the tornado at 4:40. A really scary looking tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kperk014 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 At about 3 minutes into this video, both the magnificence of a tornado and it's gruesome horror are acknowledged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kperk014 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The structure on this cell is incredible (Thanks to Ian for finding this one) Very scary situation. Unless the second clip is the early morning Cordova tornado, both clips are of the same tornado at different points. The top view is northeast of Cordova near Empire. Cordova took two direct hits. Rescue workers from the early tornado were caught in the second one. Bo Jackson is getting ready to Bike Bama again in Cordova because of the struggles they continue to have.

kperk014 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I know everyone has seen the debris falling in Birmingham on the Weather Channel. The video of debris on Fox 6 is 100 times better than that starting at 6 minutes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can clearly see the vortex breakdown/maxing out at around 2:30, which was just as it passed the parking lot in the McConnell video. It was a little difficult to catch that transition in the other video because it was so close. Cool to see it from this perspective. Good find.

Superstorm93 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The events of the past month or so definitely have created a plethora of new (and unfortunately terrifying) tornado videos.

Disc Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The winds in this video from about 2:55 until the end are extremely impressive. Dan Robinson, the same guy who filmed this video wrote up a good account of what happened that day and mentioned seeing the Twistex team shortly before this happened. http://stormhighway.com/blog2013/june713a.shtml http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vw3YYawGZTw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye05 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I don't know if this really counts, but on May 20th as the News9 chopper flew over the remains of Briarwood and Tower Plaza for the first time live, I can easily say that those images affected more than any others that i've seen as long as i've been tracking severe events. I just knew that at least one of those buildings would be a site of a tragedy. That kind of thing happening was always my worst nightmare in Elementary School.
