if they don't like tornadoes, they should move

They didn’t say ‘people in the path of the tornado decimated’ though, that’s how you’ve interpreted it for no apparent reason. If anything the title indicates greenfield was decimated, and that’s the right adjective in this case, especially seeing as the definition they intended is to ‘kill, destroy, or remove a large proportion of.’ Yours was the secondary definition, which is used in historical situations, which is to ‘kill one in every ten [people]’ Don’t know why I wasted my time writing this, it just annoys me a little how everyone tries to act clever by ‘correcting’ people (while being incorrect) and also making everything sound much worse when they don’t need to. Decimated was correct and it sounds harsh enough as it is. What would you prefer; SUPER KILLER TORNADO SHREDS WHOLE TOWN LEAVING THE SURVIVORS TRAUMATISED?

@@frankmacleod2565 Move where? All 50 states have natural disasters, so they'd just be trading tornadoes for earthquakes, volcanoes, or hurricanes.

*it takes us to push through the darkest of nights, to see the brightest tomorrows*

Thank you.

Yeah seeing that on Reeds stream was insane never seen one with vortex roots coming out of it. It looked like an easy ef4

same, it must be scary to go through that

Yep. Suspicious🤔

Those small farms aren't part of the food distribution. They more than likely never received subsidies.

Weather Warfare. Disaster Caplitalism. Get your Bible, Bare your cross and rest!

Dude, we're in tornado alley and this storm season is extremely active like 2011. Stop with the conspiracies already. It's a bad look and I'm tired of listening to them.

Lay off the tin foil already. It's embarrassing.

Climate change is real.

Just one tornado.. it was a multi-vortex tornado, which is more rare than normal tornadoes and has the power to do much more damage.

So... a single derecho happens in Houston. What are you trying to claim? Also the worst decades in history for tornadoes were the 1950s and 1980s.

Right at 200mph

Cuz if it's an ef5 insurance companies have to pay and they don't want that cuz there greedy pigs

Concrete houses are environmental nightmares and they get destroyed by tornadoes too anyways.

Unfortunately, most insurance companies will try to file some type of legalese bankruptcy to escape paying for the coverage. :=(

@@dwainmcwilliams2043 I've actually heard of a case where they tried to worm their way out of paying a tornado damage claim by saying that they didn't cover "circular winds".

@@dumbfox1036 Ah yeah. In Texas, I was denied because the hail exceeded their larger than a golf ball-size coverage or payout. The crap was the size of a softball and even knocked those plastic bumpers many off cars. After the state AG stepped and filed a class action lawsuit many of us got about 35 cents in settlements. They also claimed I lived in a "Redline" district and should not even have coverage. Someone at the corporate office was terminated for selling me the coverage, so they say. Soon after, I left the Texas tornado alley and never looked back.

It’ll take a few days to assess all the damage and rate it. My guess is ef-4 though.

From being there personally and witnessing everything. It definitely had to be an EF4. What made it worse was it had multiple vortices, which could help an EF3 cause this kind of damage as well.

EF4, but possibly EF5. Recorded wind speeds of 205+, de-barked trees and completely slabbed homes. They'll take a look at how well-constructed the homes in the path were. If they were rated as solid, this could end up a 5. Reed Timmer's footage shows the violence, the multi-vortices and what it did to a wind turbine (they're rated for 150 MPH and the tornado bent it like it was made of cardboard).

Stop rating

@@NLaBruiser It snapped that windmill like a toothpick

True, but they are both very good storm chasers.

Looked to be an EF3 or EF4 by the damage on the video - more analysis will be needed - an EF4 is in the 160 to 200 mph range -

The debri flying around is like a sand blaster on a large scale.

Hes a dirty bastard but also fake and not real

@@artstrology But why so many this year? It's crazy, an act of God?

@@allen7218 Just a big warm ocean weather

@@Strob_GD What is that from?

Dude if you genuinely believe this your either brain dead or you have autism

No. Weather dynamics are to sophisticated and complex for any human being to be able to control. There's a gigantic hot ball of hydrogen and helium at the center of our solar system 109 times wider than Earth and 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it. That's what controls Earths weather dynamics.

Because that wouldn't help. Direct hit from a EF4 or EF5 tornado will damage anything short of a nuclear bunker. Look into Mercy Hospital Joplin. That's a building built to FEMA standards to be an operational base for emergency operations. The Joplin tornado moved one of the massive towers 4 inches on its foundation. The whole building was a write off and had to be demolished. Aside from that, the active tornado zone of the US is home to 100,000,000 people. Rebuilding everything in concrete would be trillions of dollars, for the 0.001% chance you get hit in any given year. Build a tornado bunker in the center of the house when it's built, or add an underground cellar bunker in the yard if you don't have a safe space. That's a lot cheaper insurance for your family, and your stuff can be replaced.

Monolithic domes are the premier shape and material for tornado prone areas. They would actually be cheaper than what we build now. Notice how the metal silo's were almost untouched. Cylinders are another shape that works. rectangles and squares built from sticks are the second pig of the 3. The issue is greed and refusal to adapt.

@@glahtiguy oh my God

@@artstrology Monolithic domes would NOT be cheaper than stick framing, and nobody in their right mind would want to live in a windowless bunker anyways. The average house in tornado alley will never be affected by a tornado so it doesn't make sense to fortify everything against something that will probably never happen. The best thing to do is to build with basements to take shelter in, and rebuild if the worst happens.

@@dumbfox1036 Well, first you are not a builder. Second, pennies on the dollar compared to two story stick framed, pink fuzz packed 2nd pig 2nd rate construction with a healthy life span of 80 - 100 years if that. Monolithic domes would far outlast any 2nd pig built house. but , even if looking at initial cost, would be far cheaper, although i do concede, you would be in less square feet. Read the story of the 3 pigs. This is the entire wisdom contained in that story, and it is no accident that pigs are used instead of people, because that is what animal most developers behave like. 3rd, they do not have to be windowless,....we have glass and stuff. Most people living in domes, say it feels way better overall to be in a dome. My wife and I went through a 65 mph wind in a yurt covered with canvas, not one single thing damaged. Squares and rectangles will always catch more wind than a circular shape. Its dumb to keep stick building.

A tornado hit the town

@@Jrodd45 I watched the tornado in Texas for May 17, the two of us watched from Moscow, and came to the conclusion that the Tornado is like an instrument with intelligent intelligence.

Found the stupid teenager. Maybe someday you'll sort out that everything isn't fodder for juvenile humor. It's called growing up.

Justice? Divine? Can you explain what you mean?

If tornadoes were sent because God was mad, I guarantee it wouldn't be small midwestern towns feeling His wrath lol

"Stronger materials" also get destroyed by tornadoes

TRUMPSTER

What's the definition? A city can be decimated by bombing. So a city can't be decimated by a tornado. You people pick on such petty things. People died , were injured and lost everything they owned, and you're crying about a word.

@@user-pc3pj3bg8p This is not the appropriate place to announce that you are a Trumpster. No one here cares.

@@mizzury54 Everything you said here is irrelevant (or just plain wrong). Did YOU look up the definition?

Huh?😂

Actually it’s the opposite. There hasn’t been an ef-5 tornado in over a decade. Its tornado season and a town got hit by a strong tornado. Happens every year. Well before you and I were around.

It is literally called Tornado Alley.

Here we go
