  I just wanna say that your channel is literally PERFECT for my autism. nowhere else can i find this obscure brain-scratching information about tornadoes that's presented in an entertaining and easy to understand way. I love tornadoes so much and find them so fascinating and I'm glad there's a whole community of people who agree!

  I'm so glad there's a community out there obsessed with tornados... So many of us 90s kids growing up on Twister, Night of the Twisters and all those home movies compilation VHS tapes. Love this channel, one of the very very few I actually have set up to notify me when a video drops.

  I actually just went up to Joplin today to take my girlfriend out to eat. It's crazy still how entire sections of the town look brand new because almost all the businesses and homes had to be rebuilt. I'll tell you this though, as someone who lived in Southwest Missouri in 2011, that tornado didn't hurt just Joplin. It devastated the entire area because Joplin was the primary place a lot of the people in smaller towns worked, went grocery shopping, did fun stuff etc. I'm not sure I have data to back it up, but it caused a lot of people, including my family, to have to move away from our smaller towns to find work elsewhere as well as just have a new center for commerce and fun. It was really sad.

  Hello I have autism and I wanted to say I have recently developed a hyper fixation on natural disasters, specifically tornados. Your channel makes me very happy and this video made me happy

  I live in Dixie Alley and we were struck by an EF-3 at 4a.m. about 11 years ago.  I don’t recall hearing the roar of the wind but I could hear the most minuscule sounds intensely.  I heard windows breaking upstairs, I could hear debris hitting our basement windows, I heard the garage doors creaking before they crumpled, I heard a door slam after a window broke, and I heard trees falling onto and into the house.  I also looked at the garage door once and it looked like some weird Tim Burton claymation movie.  The lightning was like a strobe light, leaves and small rocks were moving across the windows in a jerky motion, and since the power had gone out, there was a stark discontinuity between the short periods of darkness and the bright flashes.  I wish I had focused beyond the surface of the windows because I believe that I was observing debris flying around outside the house but I never focused on it because I was transfixed on the odd show on the window.

  I’m so happy this channel exists. When I was a little kid, I was obsessed with tornados, asking what they did to various objects, and no one really ever gave me much info. This channel is the “grown up actually sits down and talks to me” moment that I needed all those years ago, and I really appreciate it. You definitely deserve those 50K subs and way more.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtwsjffb0Jc&amp;t=1410">23:30</a> Random fact: The EF4 Tornado in Mayfield inspired Canadian rock band Three Days Grace to write their song &quot;Lifetime&quot;, with the accompanying music video being recorded in Mayfield as well.

  I can confirm the &quot;sounds like a train&quot; thing is totally real. I don&apos;t remember my first hit by a tornado as I was 4 years old other than the massive winds, but as an adult an EF2 has just dissipated a few miles before coming my way, and a new EF1 tornado had formed right on top of me and finally touched down a quarter mile away across the highway and moved for a couple miles, flipping over some cars. <br>As you said I had no chance of seeing the tornado except my TV broadcast going out just minutes before arrival and the swirling vortex above me moving to form touch down had this low, loud, roar that can only be described as a fast locomotive passing by.

  I had a genuine and violent phobia of tornados starting when I was a kid (10-22), if there was so much as a cloud in the sky-even the fluffy white kinds-I would have to stay home from school due to panic attacks. It’s all because of a documentary I saw my grandfather watching in the Xenia, OH F5 tornado which scared me so bad (I lived in Ohio at the time) but two years ago I decided to teach myself about them so I could get over my fear. Now I’m obsessed and this channel played a massive part in helping me get over that fear!

  disclaimer, some of this info is only true in the US. For example, watch vs warning. Canada&apos;s warning is a US&apos;s watch
