Exactly

+Jordan Martirossian just a heads up, EF scale is based on damage rather than wind speed. EF-3 damage was the highest found, so thats why they rated it. Homes need to make that "well-constructed" criterea, as well as be swept away to reach the higher ratings, and of course there are other means to validate a higher ranking. Not to say that the tornado wasnt stronger than EF-3, but that's what the damage team found, who was actually there on site

Jordan Martirossian the 2011 el reno f5 tornado had wind speeds recorded at 280mph and it ripped out a well anchored 1.9 million pound oil derrick out of the ground and rolled it 3 times and threw a 20000 pound oil tanker truck 1 mile. I think the high winds are on the ground because very heavy objects are being picked up. the sulphur tornado was an f5 but didn't hit many structures like the 2013 el reno tornado with even higher wind speeds than the 2011 el reno tornado at 296 mph. I think you are right this is a very strong tornado.

This one definitely had that rising motion you often see on twisters that got an EF-5 rating.

To me, I think that when people see a huge tornado do damage, it would obviously be assumed that this was "unprecedented". This was the most important tornado that survivors have witnessed, so they'd assume it to be the worst. If a tornado has EF-5 wind speeds, and blows over a mailpost, then that tornado would be classified as an EF-0. For example, if that tornado was harboring EF-4/5 wind speeds, and it blows away the top half of well constructed homes and lifts cars, then it would be considered EF-3. It depends on if they were in the direct path or how much damage according to the Enhanced Fujita Scale was dealt.

Me too! I love and fear storms.

Same, whenever i hear the alarm go off though, it makes me terrifyed.

yeah...i chased on the may 3 1999 storm....there a whole lot more fear than excitement i can tell you.

Chat-Mort I don't like it

I love that sound, until I see jim cantore from the weather channel

Tim is a legend. And has balls of steel here

Watching from afar as his crew bumbled and stumbled around the truck as the tornado was bearing down on them was so cringe he'll end up getting killed or getting somebody killed eventually.

Tim Who ?

jonathan lavezzi Tim Marshall. Using pod deployments and whatnot. He’s kinda picking up where Samaras left off.

The sheer weight of Tim’s balls held his truck down.

John Blackburn Pecos Hank is probably the best one out there he doesn't scream yell and act like a fucking moron like all these other guys do basehunters is one of the worst although they do get good video they just need to shut the fuck up

@@joshuastone8883 Nah Reed Timmer is worse although i respect him a lot.

John Blackburn yeah he has a pretty good video of it

345fifty345 yeah I respect him a lot but usually watch his videos with no volume

To be fair, Reed Timmer has a lot of major networks/documentaries filming him, and no doubt they tell him to scream, and yell to make the footage more "intense".

Correct! This is an example of an irresponsible chase and someone who had zero respect for his wingman.

@@qso3566 They didn't die, or even get hurt. Therefore they were just fine. His excitement got him in the heat of the moment. We have all made irresponsible decisions while not listening to one of our friends that told us not to do so at one time or another in the past, so don't sit there and judge him for doing so when you have made poor decisions yourself.

@@trendmassacre8423 Every driver on an intentional storm chase, especially those with passengers, has an obligation to use extra caution and common sense when chasing. It is NOT comparable to everyday driving situations where people make an error in judgment or decisions. Try and ignorantly justify it all you want, but the fact is that he took unnecessary chances with no regard for his passengers. I am not the only poster who knows this is true, yet you targeted me?? Take your rude and false judgment and shove off.

Alan G. I guess he didnt hear or see the yelling about the house going and its top half being completely blown off right in front of him

There was another car behind "Tim" holy balls😱

RFD my ass. They were in the bear's cage within the outerbands of the circulation.

Right lmao

@@StunningShay --- Me? If I need an adventure, I'll pay for a lap dance. That's about all my heart can take these days...Lol. In any case, be well, Shay (beautiful name).

G.Phillips, sounds like dude was channeling his mom!😅

Exactly. You have to be respectful of others with you. If someone is scared, you do not have the right to risk there life, because you are ok risking yours.

Why would you go on a tornado chase if you didn't want to go on a tornado chase?

@@michaelgarcia2050 that’s exactly what I was thinking

David Simon is the second one you're referring to the tornado in THIS video? Wow.

@ᥴꪮꪮ ᥴꪮꪮ kꪖᥴꫝꪮꪮ ꪑikꫀ niners シ looks like you predicted (sortof) Easter Sunday 2020.

It was that big?

3 big tornadoes in 5 years* you forgot about 2011 el Reno

@@sethcourtemanche5738 no, it was only 1 mile wide, the commenter has no idea what he’s talking about…

I wanna know how Tim is still alive....they were extremely close to getting caught up and their buddy was wayyy up ahead. You know that thing had to have hit him 100%. Absolutely insane.

Pupils wider'n backhoe tires.

Terrell Gott I think it hit a couple houses, but they weren't directly in its path so they only sustained EF-3 damage. Therefore, you're right.

It also depends on the structural integrity of the house. A house can be totally swept clean off the foundation and the tornado rated fairly low if the house wasn’t properly anchored to the foundation. This is very generalized but typically a well constructed house that was properly anchored to the foundation and is swept clean then the tornado may be rated EF-5. There is a lot of details in the EF scale. Tornadoes are the reason I learned that Tons of homes are not properly anchored to the foundation. It always blows my mind when you see pictures of a homes fountain and the bolts that held the house down are only a few inches tall but bent almost sideways. The amount of power in violent tornadoes is unreal.

The South side of the tornado is the strong side

@@JohnsonTv Hank Schyma was also taking about this tornado in one of his video , which actually got an EF3 Just because it hovered over flat plains and only touched isolated settlements like that lone farmhouse .

Mullhall 1999 all over again. Tornado easily had F5 winds in it but they got hit by the outer circulation not the main part which only did F3/F4 Damage.

+Wendy Christophe No kidding, great job this season guys

pods give me nightmares regarding what happened with Tim Samaras, His son Paul Samaras and his colleague Carl Young at the El Reno Oklahoma tragedy.

LIKE A BAWWS 😎😎😎

what is that deploy thing they were talking about?

You might be thinking of tim samaras who was a very famous storm chaser who died. I could be wrong though, I don't know a whole lot about tim marshall.

Vinicius Passos Coutinho He was deploying pods. Theyre these little things filled with sensor that they try to place directly in the path of the tornado. If it goes over the pod, the pos then can collect a multitude of data that can be difficult to get without actually being inside the tornado. Its crazy hard to tell whats actually going on inside the tornado science-wise, so thats what theyre attempting to do.

NikeTiger can't find any either. That's storm researcher Tim Marshall btw. Couldn't find anything yet

Yeah what the hell?😳 the truck came and i was like damn. Then i saw the car and just threw my hands up. Just came out like they were leaving the mall or something

it drove inside the rain core surrounding the tornado. The tornado was hidden inside the rain core and like chang said that was rfd

@@faheded1455 ill give you guys this- chasers who qualify as experienced do know what they are doing. As much as can be known. Like the passenger, i don't blame him for being nervous. If you havent been in those situations, i imagine it can be very stressful with the unknown. Then on the flip side, experienced chasers know what they can do, so nervous from that as well. But chasers are different. Like the driver was. Being in them and having experience with them, its just like anything else- you get better and calmer and more knowledgeable about the situation. Of course random stuff can happen and you cant predict everything. A plane could fall out of the sky and land on me. Ive been driving for 18 years, and a car could come at me head on. But i dont live that way. Live wisely and use your experience, but live! Dont exist around what ifs

He wasn't actually in it. He was on the outside

I agree. But lets leave the vaginas out of this mk? That being said, its the truth. EL Reno proved that. They can grow instantly and make irrational turns and swallow you up. Unless i was in the dominator, there's only so close id get

He was going in reverse bro. He did nothing wrong.

get a partner that's not such a Mary.

@@noahkb80 Even if you were in the dominator, or even the TIV, the El Reno tornado would have shredded both those :-(

@@trendmassacre8423 oh i definitely agree. Didnt mean to imply its invincible. Just meant that would be the only way id even consider the idea. They never got into that tornado, so I've always assumed they had wind speeds on hand or given to them. Roll cage, helmets , 5 point harness, id guess youd have a good shot at survival. Dragsters and nascar's survive high impacts. BUT, thats a heavy vehicle. You get it moving and the force involved with the stop, whatever it may be, would probably rattle your insides loose. Not to mention the debris coming at you. Bullet proof glass and armor- i wonder how it would hold up from stuff like 2x4s going 300mph. Ill put it this way- lets just leave it a mystery lol

not a real camera operator... those of us who have operated for decades tend to see things through the camera all the time... it takes awhile to develop...and you tend not to talk... you can tell here this person is more into talking and watching than operating the camera

"Wow look how close he is". I wish I could, but...

He tripped and fell off the Sears Tower.

You shut your ever loving mouth!! You weren't there!! You're home t'wasnt destroyed! I am much more macho, than thou, obviously. *Smug Face*

@@mountaineerpaultalksfootba4782 Ahhh look, someone's looking for attention. The least you could do is make your comment relative to the conversation. You're home t'wasn't destroyed??? And neither was this guy with the video camera. So what is your point? That's a rhetorical question btw, we all know damn well you don't have a point, short of hoping some people will give you attention. That way you can feel relevant. And there's a word for that. Pathetic. t'wasn't? What a douche. lol

Indeed, do 'book'. 😎

ahahaha they left Micheal out in a field somewhere so he wasn't as stressed this time.

Thanks. 👍

+Emily Sutton Thanks, Emily. I think we were in the outer circulation as well. We were pretty close when that roof came off, and I'm not sure what power lines are rated for, but they snapped like twigs. I definitely think we need to play it safer with wedge tornadoes.

This was stronger and more powerful than the 1st one. And had F5 winds In it according to radar

And what’s the „good job“ about it? In my opinion this is simply stupid.

Edwin Jones shit yeah. Pecos Hank is the shit. Probably my favorite videos to check out.

Arch Stanton I know right. They think of tornado is beautiful awesome magnificent, that the peoples who homes are being destroyed right on top of them are not thinking that. I hate the commentary these guys have

The commentary on this video wasn't too bad. It is pretty bad on their hurricane Michael video though. Bad commentary is inevitable if you don't chase solo.

But since it didn't hit anything, they rate it lower. Doesn't make much sense.

F scale and ef scale are two different things.
