Gonna comment before I get buried in the sea of comments but man your videos are amazing. I’ve been watching for about a month and I’m hooked. You have found a good niche thing here. I guarantee you’ll reach a million by next year

Famous last words. "Did the clouds do that before?"

One of the most terrifying bits of footage I've ever seen was from some disabled old guy who was, well, too disabled to get anywhere safe before a tornado hit his home, so he just filmed it until impact. Just unbelievable footage to watch. The sound is just hellish. It destroyed the house; basically hitting it directly, and by some miracle, I believe he survived, but his wife, who'd managed to get to their shelter, was actually killed. I'm sure a lot of people know the clip I'm talking about. I hope I got the details right.

At 14:49 he mentions that lightning hit the powerline, that was actually the tornado destroying the powerline and it's called a "power flash"

For anyone that grabs this map, the doors and buttons have labels but it seems they can't be seen in VR. Also, that said, this map can tank performance depending on your computer. The map's creator does do little optimizations from time to time but there's only so much you can do with Source maps.

This mod really showed off one of the scariest things, in my opinion, about tornadoes: you sometimes can’t tell where they’re going. It could be heading towards you and you’d not realize until it’s way too late.

Used to live in Tornado Alley. Nothing like watching an F2 tear through some acreage, take out a house, and have your Dad tell you one is forming over the driveway. I don't miss it all all. And the sirens were the freakiest part.

Usually, your channel is either cozy or creepy. So, the raw comedic timing of you pulling out a rocket launcher and failing to "kill" the tornado really got me! LOL

going under bridges/overpasses is honestly a terrible idea, the wind would concetrate and tear you to shreds as if you were standing in a sand blaster

18:49 You almost Magic Missile'd yourself there like a member of Liru's playerbase.

I use to be a huge storm chaser in Gmod back in 2016 and am familiar with these types of maps. At 8:12 you can hear the sound of the tornado coming close and Liberian was oblivious to how close he was to it. Also in multiplayer, most of the time people would be chasing the tornado like an RP. We would try to get in front of it and even go inside them. It’s crazy from a first person POV when the tornado is carrying a lot of debris

you made a comment on the safest place to be during a tornado being under a bridge- my special interest is tornadoes and underpasses and bridges are the WORST places to be. Swegle Studios has a video explaining why those are deathtraps! but aside from that, I am astounded at how realistic this is for a Gmod map- the different types of tornadoes, the debris, the dirt cloud at the bottom, it's honestly amazing what people can do!

lol this was interesting because my wife whom I've been married to about 20 years at the time of the twister movie lived down the road where they filmed part of it in Oklahoma, she managed a store at the time, regularly saw the cast, got tshirts, and got to go out to dinner once with the director and a few actors. It's an interesting story when I also have a cousin who was a Tim Burton movie and Pixar animator we've had fun stories to exchange lol

"come back here you coward" not something i thought i'd hear someone say to a tornado, even if it is fake.

tornadoes are incredibly scary in person, but also fantasizing. i live in ohio, right on the lake, so we see tornadoes and water spouts occasionally. a long time ago at this house i used to live at a really bad storm rolled in and a tornado touched down and pulled the roof of my house off. luckily we had a pretty safe basement. it was pretty terrifying, and that emergency broadcast siren only added to the scare factor. i’ve also been in the lake with a few friends while a couple of water spouts swirled some hundred feet from us, that was pretty awesome to watch.

You're just like me when you were standing half in the shelter watching it come towards you. Every time it storms where I am, even when tornados have a very high chance of touching down, I'm the idiot amateur that's outside filming lightning strikes and seeing which clouds could form spinning danger air. A dream of mine when I was younger was to be a meteorologist nurse chasing storms in the Midwest. I wanted to gather storm data one minute and the next minute be helping people that got caught in the storm. Half of that dream came true. I was a nurse for a while, but there weren't any good meteorology programs/courses near me, (and I suck at math) so now I just chase storms in my area. (Also, the Maximum Overdrive comment had me rolling. I grew up around my grandparents semi mechanic shop and I was fairly young when I first watched that movie, so I had that constant thought that one of the cabs my grandpa was fixing was just going to start chasing me.)

I'm hesitating if I should watch this. I've had nightmares going all the way back to when I was a kid of a tornado coming in and destroying everything and everyone I've ever cared about.

26:11 wow. They even got the power line explosions

"If you see a tornado, and don't know how to stop it, the answer: a gun. And if that doesn't work: use more gun"

You should try more Storm Chasing themed maps in the future! I love this type of content,Librarian. P.S,you say that first tornado was big? They are HUGE in real life,that was a EF3 tornado,severe damage is done by these,they move at around 300-400+ MPH,also you said you don't know how to tell if it is getting closer,you can tell if the tornado is getting closer if you see it not move in real life,or it could in fact either die or stop. Fun fact,if you are very lucky to be in a empty tornado,it is VERY COLD inside of there,if you don't die from stuff hitting you,you will die from hypothermia. Edit,the second tornado was an EF0,your common tornado,minor damage,only peels pieces of some roofs.

I think the EAS sound is only illegal to play on live TV. I've seen it in other, even commercial games like Black Mesa.

Hiya, just wanna say that there's a mod called gdisasters that goes with this map. You can spawn every variant of tornado as well as bonus tornadoes like mars tornadoes, dust devils, earthquakes, that sort of thing.

One of my favorite maps of all time. The days I've spent watching vanoss and venturiantale play this map, the countless hours of pure joy watching them play this map came back in a rush the moment your video started. Thank you

Normally, some big maps like these can really drop your performance. When seeing flat areas or maps like these, i feel like this is a great spot for tornadoes to appear, i really like to see a realistic weather in GMod. if you're not seeing screen dialogues when playing on VR, that is mostly likely an issue.

I would advise that bridges/underpasses are not safe places to shelter from tornados. They may seem like a good place but people have died doing this. The danger is from debris traveling under the bridge at high speeds and impacting the people taking shelter there. As for the map, really cool. The NWS building is a nice touch. As someone who grew up and lives in central OK, I can relate to watching from the shelter up to the last moment. I often heard growing up that tornados often sounded like a loud waterfall or an oncoming train. In my experience, it kind of sounds like both from inside a storm shelter. In the Midwest, most shelters are going to be at residences and most people will gladly let you shelter with them in emergencies. The vast majority of tornados are also survivable if you can get into an interior part of a well built structure, putting as many walls as possible between you and the outside. The larger ones (EF4, EF5) will completely wreck a structure or even scour a building down to its foundation... this is where a shelter is a must.

I live in Kansas, and this map really captures the vibe of the panic of a tornado. Also it reminds me of the movie twister

The tornadoes shown in this map are actually the small ones. There are even smaller ones we call dust devils which are weak enough that people sometimes run into them for kicks. Larger tornadoes are measured in fractions of miles wide. In the county where I live we have had multiple tornadoes, including one that flattened a large portion of the large city in the area. My parents remember the day the entire sky went black as night mid day. "Terrible Tuesday" they called it. My only direct experience being outside during a tornado event happened while I was on a high school trip to Omaha, Nebraska. I got separated from our group on the University campus, and was making my way to our dorm in the rain. The sky was deep grey, but the clouds pulled away like a curtain revealing a sick dark green color I have never seen anytime else. The tornado passed directly over the city to touchdown in a pasture and causing only moderate damage to some property, and I assume livestock. I sheltered in a parking garage for the worst of it, though I still got soaked. When I got to the dorm, which took a while because the maps they gave us were terrible I slept for 16 hours, partly due to my ordeal, but also some other issues I was having at the time. So, in my area there are no laws requiring basements, but every employer has to have some kind of storm shelter. I am unaware of the standards that these have to meet, but they are usually windowless rooms on the interior of the building. When I have worked in hospitals and food service, the shelters are often walk-in fridges and freezers, or if there is a basement, the basement. Many houses including my childhood home will have a closet or bathroom that is not touching an exterior wall for this reason. In my current house I would probably be going into one of my closets. All of the main bedrooms have a closet facing the interior, which I am grateful for. It is not uncommon to see houses with storm shelters in their backyards, and the local home improvement stores often sell storm shelter solutions throughout the year. My least favorite remind me of the Prowalski preservation shelters from Fallout. Though these would actually protect you form the storm. One of the lesser known dangers of tornadoes is that they suck all the air out of buildings, and even your lungs. People who've been caught in them holding onto fenceposts, support beams, trees et cetera often loose consciousness due to oxygen deprivation. It is terrifying, but thankfully tornadoes have been rare in my locale recently. "Tornado Alley" seems to have shifted north of us.

Here in Indiana I don't think you're required to have a basement due to tornadoes, but many structures do. Those that don't usually have emergency plans that send you to the most reinforced part of the building, like restrooms or interior closets.

You missed the part where every Midwesterner sits on their porch and watches the tornado

It's a rare thing for The Librarian to cover a map you've been chasing tornadoes on for almost half a year!

5:26 I'm in Ukraine and the air raid sirens caught me off guard. There's no getting used to them even if they go off almost daily.

As someone who has been in multiple tornadoes (actually seen them touch down and been in the flight path) Im lucky to be alive. Tornadoes are no joke, im positive hurricanes are much worse. But with hurricanes you get lots of lead up warning. Tornadoes you get at most a few hours, but most of that is "conditions are right for one to form" you might get a few minutes of warning of one touching down, and it could be gone just as fast. and the sirens are hauntingly beautiful. They are an absolute beast of nature, watching clouds start to swirl and have the wind at the front of the house going a different direction than the wind at the back, and that weird orange green glow. Best place to be is underground if possible. Or an interior bathroom, particularly if it has a tub. Underneath stairs are good option as well. If you are outside, DONT go underneath bridges, theyll accelerate the wind and act as shredders, anything in the wind will slice you up. Get into a ditch or low down area, if it does pass you over it might just hop over you.

The librarian not only plays one of my favourite maps and also uses the commands I posted to make it quicker paced awesome! Great video loved it, wish you would have seen an F5 but that F4 you encountered is still cool as is, and yes the cellar doors can be opened if a F5 goes on top the shelter.

18:37 “I got the idea from a guy, you know the one.” Lmao

Tornadoes are oddly calming to me, and its weird to think that a destructive force of nature could be so calming. Idk but thats just me

When The Librarian™ said "It's cumming!" at 5:39, that was a moment of all time

Storm chasing is breathtaking. Ever since I discovered Pecos Hank's channel I wanted to try it, now I can experience it at least in a game lol

Stormchasers only go out to chase storms because the best way to study/document/gather info on a twister is being up close to it. Some stormchasers do it for necessity while others do it for the pure adrenaline rush it could produce.

Don't worry about the volume of your voice, it's actually more immersive to watch this way.

2:03 NEVER EVER EVER GO UNDERNEATH A BRIDGE OR A TUNNEL IN A TORNADO!!! The wind speed will be a lot faster and less likely for you to survive

What a neat idea for a map! It's a whole new layer of stress trying to hide from a tornado.

Bless your non-midwestern soul getting all panicked about a tornado watch and tornado sirens lol. Very rarely do any of us frantically search for shelter. Most times we're out looking at the storm unless we're actually in the line of the rotation or a tornado already on the ground. Actually seeing the tornado form tho was scary. I have recurring nightmares where I see tornadoes forming and have to run from them, so actually seeing that outside my own dreams is surreal and unnerving.

First cause librarian is cool

Was having a horrible night, but this is definitely helping :) great video as always

This is an amazing video, until the tornado sirens don’t stop when you pause it.

man, when you input the command twice and the sky turned BLACK it was so damn scary

"cmon, do it for the vine" LMAO

I was listening to this video yesterday evening at around 7:00, and I don't know if the universe was listening, but I had a severe thunderstorm warning for my area. I thought the beeping of my Midland WR400 NOAA weather radio was part of the video until I went upstairs and found out that the beeping was real!

As a Kansan who has known what to do in case of a tornado their whole life I could only grimace while watching this video. This is why they give information about what to do IN the emergency broadcast. However, it was funny watching you run around not knowing what to do. Also it seems that you also experienced the weird awestruck feeling you get when you see a tornado in person which I think is cool coming from a virtual experience.

I've always found stormy weather to be oddly comfy for whatever reason, so I'm already stoked for this video.

27:28 "Getting closer and closer.." "The windows being BLOWN OUT AS THE ROOF IS TORN OFF ABOVEE MEMEMEMEME!"

This video was fantastic... The distress/excitement in your voice at the scenarios you put yourself in is genuinely entertaining. Along with the scale of the tornados as they whip around everything in their path, the cacophonous sound of the wind chaotically raging by- This actually reminded me for a period of time I actually loved watching tornado chase videos.

You could totally do a part 2 on this. Pepper the map with some props and NPCs and watch the show

The perfect landing after the second tornado proves the librarian is part cat.

Storm chaser maps are really, really fun. I used to try and make a build and if I heard a siren, tried to survive in when a twister came.

I remember on the Discord me and a few others talking about how cool and terrifying tornado's are and I wanted to to see TheLibrarian play one so bad, finally. Also that Discord is cool and pretty chill.

This is gonna be Awesome Edit: 2:09 Uh please don't take cover under a bridge. Bad idea. Edit 2 5:04 Yeah playing EAS tones near and around weather equipment like weather radios can trigger false EAS Alerts. Edit 3 11:58 If the tornado is still, assume that it is moving towards you. Edit 4 13:18 If that happens you need a tornado thats an EF3 or stronger. Edit 5 14:48 What happened is a power flash. The tornados winds were strong enough it blew the transformers on the power lines. These explosions of energy emit a blue flash of light thus the term power flash. Edit 6 15:31 Doppler radar is op lol. Edit 8 (idk when I'll be done editing. Also edit seven was lost at sea) 25:50 **El Reno flashbacks intensifies**

As someone who lives in Oklahoma, tornadoes are some of the scariest things you can experience over here. My house almost got hit by a tornado in spring last year. One time it was just me and my mom at home alone. And while I was playing on my pc, out of nowhere, I get a tornado warning on my phone. While it didn’t touch down yet, it went right over us! That was the first time the power at our house went out during a tornado. Pretty scary stuff.

This man can talk about my morning breakfast and it would be interesting

VR works the best with gmod imo. So many maps that you can enjoy on the workshop

This episode reminds me of the Moore/Norman, Oklahoma Tornado that happened in May of 2013 or 2014. A massive Devastating supercell thunderstorm that quickly developed a single EF4 (Enhanced Fajita scale) with damages up to $20,000,000. Unfortunately it's not the most dangerous, the most dangerous Tornado recorded was the rain-wrapped El Reno tornado that killed three of the most popular and most brilliant storm chasers in recent history.

10/10 your rocket was sent back as a warning

As someone from Oklahoma, storm shelters are absolutely not required. Basically the only places that have them are residential homes who have paranoid owners and elementary schools, not really a given anywhere else. In fact a common thing people do is just hide in church bathrooms and pray Edit: Some areas do require storm shelters in some cases, but it’s dependent on what county you’re in. Also Oklahoma is never mentioned unless you’re talking about tornadoes lol

on one hand, you do not exhibit the true midwesterner trait of knowing what you're *supposed* to do in a tornado. but you do demonstrate the true midwesterner trait of sitting round watching and waiting for the thing to touch down and actually head your way before doing anything lol

I've been playing these tornado maps for years glad you made a video on one.

I remember playing on a map similar to this, may have been back in the gmod 12 days, but it was just a singular road with a few houses around. One was destructable and could be reset, while the other was a storm surveillance shack that couldn't be destroyed. I'm 90% sure the map was for a gamemode called Storm Chasers, where you found storms, and chased them to get footage of it. I doubt the gamemode exists, but it was very fun, even if it was a basic concept.

i remember watching a venturiantale video on this map, this was a nice way to remember some of my childhood favorites :)

I hope it's not offensive. But these videos really help me go to sleep. Not because the content isn't interesting. But there's a comfy atmosphere, serene. Like watching a Bob Ross episode. Anyways, I have trouble sleeping and these help me get into that relaxed state. Keep doing what you love!

BRO I AM FORM OKLAHOMA LETSSS GOO I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LIBRARIAN FOR PLAYING THIS

being from oklahoma, i can say that this is relatively accurate. i’d also like to say that it is not legally required for a public building to have a basement. usually during an actual tornado, some of the safest places are places with no windows and i don’t know if that’s common sense but that’s what i know

You remember when you when you said you got the idea from a guy shooting the rocket launcher at the tornado that is Komodo gaming thanks for mentioning him in this video :D

This is incredible! I can't get my head round how this is still garry's mod. Fantastic stuff.

People who make these videos deserve more

I saw this video on my PC, and have played the map before, so when he said I don't like the loome of these shadows, it looks breakable, I smiled

Amazing map, and great video as always.

I love ur channel it’s my. Favorite gmod vr channel out there

Maaaan, Remember watching Uberhaxornova's videos playing with ImmortalHD and Kevin The storm chasers boys? ahh the good old days.....

I find it really cool since I am quite interested in tornadoes, plus it released on my birthday!

The Librarian is on my turf now >:) welcome to !notOklahoma

i cant wait for him to see the F5 and maybe the firenado with mods those are pure nightmare fuel on this map, even more when you are hidden in a bunker just looking at the window while this monsters slowly come closer to you

This is some of the best gmod videos I have seen

You're really coming up as you should with your connoisseur for exploring Garry's mod maps.

I can imagine spawning a TARDIS entity/prop and watch it get scooped up by the tornado.

When you were observing the tornado and waiting to shut the door all I could think of was that scene from Twister where the dad gets sucked into the tornado

imagine project zomboid, but in first person and with these kind of weather effects... it would be amazing

Oh this looks really good

Love the video you should do more of these

This map almost reminds me of some of those old Roblox survival maps.

I love your videos man, that kerbal space program one got me interested so much in that game, and i thank you for that :)

The EAS tones, are illegal to broadcast over television and radio where EAS equipment is listening in for the tone in order to relay the signal, broadcasting it over KZfaq on a video with loud ambient sounds isn’t illegal and it’s not going to activate equipment, however that doesn’t mean I’d risk playing the tones near listening equipment luckily the average Joe isn’t going to be able to get close to them to send a false alert out anyways

What a wonderful video, Gonna have to try out this map myself later.

Yaayyy I love these vr videos-!

This guy could write a book

You should post a second one on this map and see how close you can get to spawning in 1 twister for every 100 views on this post. Thanks for the awesome vids. Don't stop being RAD.

Ima try this out right now! This looks sick!

I played this map with my best friend and we made twister chaser cars and it was so fu. There was a level 5 twister that destroyed everything

Tornadoes in Gmod aren't anything new, alot of this is 15 year old tech, though it seems like this map has brought gmod storm chasing back into the spotlight.

Your videos are great. Especially the gmvr ones

Love your content man, keep it up!

You should play The Liminal Gallery 2, It just released the other day.
