  Wanted to point out a couple of mistakes in this video haha! No big errors, but I&apos;ve been getting a few comments over some editing issues so I wanted to clear the air. <br>It says on screen &quot;April 22&quot; when I meant April 27th! Just a mis-type! <br>I also accidentally say El Reno, Texas instead of Oklahoma. (I think all the audio takes talking about Texas got to me LOL!)<br>Yes.. I know I said Lubbock like an idiot<br><br>In retrospect, I should have included Tri-State 1925. I didn&apos;t, because in my research the tornado is rarely regarded as an F5, but rather just a catastrophic twister. I didn&apos;t want to misrepresent anything, as I saw a lack of damage indicating F5 strength.<br><br>Sorry if the issues hurt the viewing experience, it was a very long video with a lot of research, so I was bound to make some mistakes, but nothing in bad faith!

  Tennessee&apos;s &quot;forgotten F5&quot; was forgotten because it hit a very rural area, and Nashville was hit by a less intense tornado that same day.

  The Joplin tornado was the first tornado since the Flint tornado of 1953 to kill more than 100 people in an urban setting.

  I was one of the first responders to the Jarrel TX tornado. &nbsp;It actually formed in my front yard as a small rope tornado not much bigger than a dust devil. It then traveled south for about 60 miles and became a monster.

  Randomly was recommended this video. Was curious if you&apos;d talk about the Xena, OH tornado. <br><br>My grandmother and her three kids (my mom and 2 aunts) lived there when that tornado happened. My grandmother had been raised in California, and she actually had NO idea what a tornado was. (She moved to Ohio cause her husband was from there.) He was at work when the warning signals happened. She told me the story about how the neighbor came banging on her door to get into cover. But she didn&apos;t get to speak with him because he ran off. <br><br>So, in my grandmother&apos;s INTENSE wisdom, decided to load up the car with all 3 kids, and drive to meet up with my grandpa. <br><br>The direction? Directly towards the tornado&apos;s path. She believed it was a fire. Her oldest, my oldest aunt, realizing what was happening, told her to STOP. So they slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road with the tornado barreling towards them. I&apos;ve never actually delved into whether this part is recorded or not, but they all swear the tornado <b>turned</b> and headed away from them. They almost died and I almost didn&apos;t exist. <br><br>Figured it&apos;d be fun to slap a story like this in a comment section for a video like this. Her oldest two (my mother and eldest aunt) have passed away, and her youngest was much too young to remember the story, while my grandmother has dementia. So just me and my sister have this story to tell. May as well be fun to share it.

  Not sure how you completely overlooked the 1925 tri-state tornado. The deadliest tornado in US history

  No matter how much I watch or read about Jarrell, it always gives me chills.

  Actually Fun Fact The official Number of F5/EF5 is 59 but the actual total in us History is widely accepted by tornado historians and experts to be around 80-85. the First F5 in Us History is widely acknowledged to be the 1883 Rochester, Minnesota Tornado which is what led to the founding of the Mayo Clinic
