Twistex Memorial OKC Visit ~ El Reno Tornado 2013
Carl Young, Timothy Samaras and his son Paul were killed after a tornado took an unexpected turn on May 31, 2013 and struck their vehicle.
Gabe Garfield, Samaras friend and meteorologist, told FOX 25 this was a very unusual storm. "It was large, it was violent and it was moving very quickly right over there by Highway 81," Garfield said, "It was moving at an excess of over 50 miles an hour and to make matters worse it was entirely rain wrapped. The tornado, they thought, was heading south east, but through the rain it turned and started heading north, towards them at over 40 miles an hour. Once they were clear of the rain, the tornado had caught up to them.
Now, a memorial stands beside the field were the team was found, the storm chasing community joining hands honoring the men they call role models.
Tim Samaras was a respected chaser and researcher who documented storms for outlets like National Geographic, his son Paul born on his Dad's birthday...and shared the same passion for capturing mother nature, at her best, but especially her worst.

Tom, thank you for the video. I looked later some documentaries about El Reno, that was really impressive. It is very sad it killed people, but it was real dangerous. Wind speed 300 miles an hour at the surface.... Frankly speaking, despite the risks I would have gone to chase tornado myself had there been such a chance. Spectacular manifestation of the nature's power, the only thing that comes to mind that could be more impressive is a volcano eruption. I have seen not a strong eruption at Sicily, but still the sight of lava glowing at night is unforgettable.

That section off to the side of the memorial stone is actually where the car came to rest if I recall correctly. Before the big memorial went up, there was a little garden with stones where the crosses are. Also I believe two of the three in the Cobalt were ejected despite the fact I'm pretty sure they were wearing seatbelts. Being the state of the wreckage (the engine was ripped from the car) I wouldn't be surprised if the seatbelts failed though Tim was found still buckled in his seat. I believe the CB radio was in reference (or maybe even the one that was in the vehicle) to their last transmission on the State Police channel. This loss hit me hard as I remember reading (and watching) about his probe deployments starting in 2003. I believe I still have the Nat Geo magazine somewhere. I became somewhat of a fan and got super excited when I recognized him on the show Stormchasers. Everyone that watched that show or knew Tim were just as shocked as he was usually one of the first to back out of chasing a storm, even at the frustration of Carl at times. It makes it all the more tragic that they were lost and a lesson to the unpredictability of tornados. In a way their loss serves as a final lesson from Tim, Carl and Paul to us about never underestimating tornados.

The best video of El reno was Dan Robinsons video he barely escaped you can actually see the Tornado right behind him trying to reach out and get him. In his video you can see the Twistex team behind him at a crossing before the Tornado shifts north and engulfs them. The only way Robinson got away was he was little bit further to the east just enough. The rear video on his Toyota Yaris you can see the Satellite Tornadoes rotating around and like they were chasing him down. His underpowered car keeps trying to turn the traction control on which is a system that applies the brakes to the tire spinning by using the ABS computer causing power to be sent to the other tire keeping the car straight. The issue is you slow down when this happens, he keeps turning it off, but I believe as speeds increase the computer turns it back on. Yaris is a underpowered car lot of chasers use cars like these because they get good MPG.

This is why some of these automatic electronics on today's vehicles can be very dangerous. The fact that they can activate automatically even when the driver tries to deactivate them takes control away from the driver, and that actually can put the driver in great peril. One of our Jeeps had a feature that automatically shut off the engine at a stoplight or stop sign. It would, supposedly, start up again when the driver pressed the accelerator, but I always feared that some day it wouldn't, and I'd be stuck in traffic with an engine that wouldn't turn on, again. Fortunately, in that particular vehicle, one could manually deactivate that feature. In some vehicles that have it, you can't. We are entirely too dependent upon technology these days -- technology that does entirely too much for us so we get out of the habit of doing for ourselves. Some of it is great, but some of it can hamper our ability to control our devices when we need to.

Unfortunately the tornado went threw rapid intensification just south of this road. It removed grass all around the intersection you can see just you the road. Now anybody familiar knows that’s unthinkable power when you actually removed grass. Basically I would suspect fatal basilar skull fractures. So I raced for 25yrs and I’ve had 185g crash in 1999 where I fractured my skull. But I’ve had a ton of 80-100g crashes at 180-215mph. The sad thing is you can survive crashes at those speeds. The human body is way tougher than we thought. BUT you gotta have. Full containment seats/HANS (Head & Neck device) of some kind/ roll bar system. Passenger cars have airbags which is to keep the head and neck in a safe position to prevent basilar skull fractures (because the head isn’t seatbelted) the problem is airbags are only good for 1 impact sometimes 2 hits if they are very in a rapid succession. But to take 5 hard tumbles your airbag will save you from the first but after the 2nd your in big trouble. That’s why in racing we use physical restraints in the head and containment seats.

@westleyburgess3622 Жыл бұрын

Yes because they rate a tornado by the damage done, so if a tornado with recorded winds of 300 mph happens in an open field and hits a barn that is old and falling apart, they will throw out the radar and weather instrumentation and base the rating on the beat up barn damage. With the advancement of technology we have today, they should change the rating system. We know that there were windspeed recordings of 300+ MPH but use the out dated system still.

@scarpfish Жыл бұрын

@@westleyburgess3622 The EF rating system is not outdated. Flawed perhaps, but its not just about numbers, its meant to measure impact on human life so we can perhaps learn in time to build better structures. Those 300mph winds measured by the radar may be a half mile or more above the surface and unless someone was dumb enough to fly an aircraft into the circulation, probably don't make impact at the ground.

@Wyzerwizardness79 11 ай бұрын

The downgrade is due to lack of typical structural damage that an EF5 exhibits. Silly yes, however, the winds speeds did display EF5 strength. The width of this tornado was freaking wild measuring nearly 2.6 miles😮.

A Good idea of how dangerous Tornadoes can be, (although this memorial should serve as enough of an idea) is Dan Robinsons video taken literally the exact time the twistex team lost their lives. He was around a mile ahead of them when they were swept up and with his foot on the floor trying to escape the tornado it still overtook him and he was in the peripheral wall for about 3 minutes before he finally started to pull away, all while at full speed (At least what full speed was possible with such heavy winds, a gravel road and his traction control almost constantly lowering engine power as his tyres were bouncing off the road). His video is on YT.

@crocodile1313 3 ай бұрын

But I never understood why Robinson stopped his vehicle, after successfully outrunning the tornado initially, and allowed it to catch up to him. He filmed for a while until the hail and wind forced him to dive into a ditch. Had that tornado been at full strength when it "caught" him, he would have been another unfortunate fatality.

Regardless of these sensible safety features, if a very powerful tornado pulls your car high into the air then slams it to the ground & pancakes it, you're still very likely to die.

El Reno’s lessons are not about the car you drive-tho it did start a stagnant period after the “extreme meteorology” days surrounding Discovery’s Storm Chasers. Even if they were driving / wearing all of that, or at least driving Tim’s truck and not the goddamned Cobalt, they were dead anyway when they were hit. The true lesson that nobody seems to learn is that placing one’s self north of a tornado makes you susceptible to deviant motion, that is when a tornado turns hard left or to the north because of certain mechanisms with the storm. They were anticipating East-Southeastward motion, before it pivoted, widened like crazy for some reason, and then just threw itself at Reuter Road, and later that jammed up interstate. The intensity with which they were hit, thrown, and slammed back down would mangle even the most reinforced vehicles around, not to mention the traumatic forces inside. Getting yanked out like Paul and Carl were is no better of a fate. In short, chasing is all about positioning, and El Reno is what happens when even the best of the best lose the 4D chess match of road networks and storm motion.

Which goes to show... Some people don't learn about things until they look it up and majority of the public are in the dark. It's purely frightening to even try to process what happened to these men. It's hard to pronounce names properly if you only have words and not an oral pronunciation, so please give this man a break when he even had the decency to even visit this memorial. Not everybody has the decency to do so as how he mentioned that this memorial had been shot up before... I don't mean this whole spiel to be rude or anything like that, but just to show a different side to things and that this man didn't mean to defame the men by a simple mispronunciation.

They won't. They're keeping it private to respect the families

This is extremely insensitive. If the family wants to keep it private then leave them be

Calm down karen. Just because you know them he doesn't. Obviously you're going to be more emotional about it. Everyone has a different tone or a way of saying things. The guy wasn't being disrespectful.

You know I have chased storms for 20 years and I don't think any of the three men would want anyone to come here in there memory and argue. My point is, you stand up for them as I do as well. Then you have a bunch of keyboard warriors who want to turn this into a my dad can beat up ur dad. If you really want to honor them. Stop the bickering bullshit

@@tjwhitt80 Whatever. They were adrenaline junkies that liked to ride close to the razor’s edge. It was a high for them. Well, guess what…they rode it too close, and they got cut. Plain and simple. These “weather chasers” are nothing more than extreme adrenaline junkies, using science and the “public good” as their excuse to obtain funding so that they can go out and play with tornadoes.
