  I honestly feel like this video should be played in schools. That alone would save so many lives and help people be more prepared.

  Man, incredible work. I actually think this is on par with YouTube greats like Hank and Skip, minus some gnarly tornado footage and ukelele. Persistence...

  Years of staring at my weather radar thinking I knew what I was looking at, cleared up in 30 minutes. Much appriciated!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeX2lMUfddQ&amp;t=562">9:22</a> For optical doppler effects, it is called red shift and blue shift, where red shift means moving away, and blue shift means moving toward. This would help explain why red means moving away, but it is a little inconsistent with green/blue both meaning moving towards.

  A couple months ago, a tornado would drop at around midnight here in Georgia. My stepdad, who’s lived in Georgia his whole life, immediately put my family and I in a closet (which made me nervous considering we couldn’t fit in the storm closet so he put us in the master closet, which is one wall away from the outside) and turned on the TV while we hid away. He watched the news the whole time, never coming to check on us once. At some point, he gave us the okay sign. My mom got super mad at him, and I was mainly shook and confused on how he managed to stay so calm as an EF4 tornado was about 5 miles from us. It was my first tornado experience so I have my reason to be afraid, I’m very scared of extreme weather. But seeing this video makes me happy because I can watch and understand with him now. I can interpret if a tornado will drop or is coming towards us, and that makes me relieved. Thanks man, you just made my day and/or my future ten times easier.
