My worst fear when I moved to Alabama in 1986, was tornadoes. And especially because we lived in a mobile home. On December 16, 2000. My worst nightmare came true. I was by myself in our mobile home when an F3 tornado hit me head on. Destroyed the home, pretty much shredded it, and I landed about 100 feet away. I remember the trailer picking up as I was under a mattress on the floor. I was tossing and turning and things slamming into my body. I think I was knocked out for a moment when I realized I was on the ground. I looked over and trees were snapped in half, both our boats were destroyed, and where the trailer once stood, nothing was there except the power pole and the propane gas tank. Long story short--No one was killed but there were injuries. I broke my arm and was covered in cuts and bruises. I hurt my back and eventually had a spinal fusion surgery. We found a few things, some pictures and even a few videos. But we lived and that’s all that matters.

But there is rotation and the last one which I have a couple of times the (emergency warning) you are in high danger be in your Shelter if you already not in on and basically means you are going to get hit also there are ratings of a tornado like ef1 all the way to 5

@S0lar eclipse not necessarily, tornado emergencies are declared if there is a tornado heading towards a population center like a town or city. Tornado watches are if the conditions are right to form large storms that could produce tornados. Tornado warnings are for an active storm that is either currently producing a tornado or showing signs that tornados are about to form.

I have to give credit to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol for their part in trying to protect everyone from the tornado, including closing the interstates and rerouting the truckers to safer havens. With how busy the various Oklahoma City metro area police departments and county sheriffs were with protecting their jurisdictions, the OHP state troopers were doing everything they could to help with getting those the local and county law enforcement couldn't reach to take cover from the storm. That one OHP state trooper did the right thing doubling back to warn your team to take cover before heading back out into the danger zone to try and save as many more lives as he could before taking cover himself. Kudos to him, the entire OKC law enforcement community, fire departments, EMS services, and various other public services for their part with saving lives and helping those that had suffered from the tornado damage.

You ain’t lying, this tornado on this video, I was 100 yards from that damn thing and wasn’t really paying attention until a Oklahoma highway patrol officer cut me off and told me I was driving right into a tornado and turn the fuck around and follow him. I was so close that you couldn’t see the tornado, it just looked super dark. As soon as I started turning around I was getting hit with insulation and rfd he was going 80-90 miles an hour to get me out of harms way but still stopped at 2 stores on the way to get everybody to evacuate. F5 320+ MPH winds, he by himself saved as many lives in them last few moments before it hit then the entire town’s lost. It completely cleared everything 1 - 1.5 miles wide and 30+ miles across Moore. Crazy thing is the tornado went through the part of town where they were 500k - $1m houses then it was. Coming to an area where houses was a lot less right when it made a hard left turn through the biggest commercial area around, crossing the highway into another super high class neighborhood. That tornado refused to hit them broke mf’s houses. I believe it caused like $3.2 trillion in damage and took like 40 lives, 20 of them being elementary kids. If it wasn’t for law enforcement waiting until the very last minute to make their escape that number would’ve doubled possibly tripled. I think if I remember correctly when the tornado unexpectedly turned left 2 police officer got trapped in traffic and lost their lives. Salute to all first responders!!

Having lived in NE Oklahoma my entire life, I have experienced many tornados. Even had one land in the field across the street, when I was a child. I'm 61 years old & have never gotten over my terror. I never will. Here, in Oklahoma, we watch the skies. We watch the color of the sky, if it's green, dig a hole, crawl in & pull it in after you. The stillness & humidity are other clues. Lack of bird sounds, horses & cattle calling frantically/running. You learn all these clues & go hyper alert when you notice any of them. I live in Tulsa & tornados like to travel up the Turner Turnpike. Those who live along the turnpike, are more alert once one starts along it. You & your companions are either very brave or very foolish. Seeing your prospective was frightening for me. Don't dare Mother Nature too often. She bites.

Hey Karen, I got some friends in OK and TX, and a few of them had told me that there are times when severe weather is at high risk, there would be a fairly large number of chasers and spotters, but that it's mostly the amateur/inexperienced spotters and chasers that would do stupid stuff, particularly stopping their car on the country road to jump out and take video or photos, but without pulling their car over to the side of the road. To me, common sense and courtesy for the general public's safety should always be top priority for all spotters/chasers and for the large majority of them it is, but there will always be a small handful of the amateur chasers/spotters that wind up forgetting about the basics and become a pain in the ass. Have a great day and I hope you and everyone there are staying safe. God Bless

This is truly one of my favorite youtube videos of all time, at least the first 35 minutes of it. I come back to watch thus once a year. I wish a youtuber that made videos like this still existed.

We lived in Oklahoma City, right next to Moore, for a couple of years. There were several times that we had to take cover because a tornado was near us but thankfully we never got hit. I grew up in North Texas and was around nasty weather a lot so I was aware of what we needed to do if a tornado were to ever come close to us or hit us. I knew exactly where y’all were at through out this video. Glad y’all were safe. Definitely don’t ever find cover at a gas station. If on the roads, when a tornado could be near by, and you have no where safe to go, drive safely but fast, away from the storm! I absolutely love how Oklahoma police are super on top of it when it comes to this kind of weather. RIP to all those who didn’t survive this storm.

The subtitle at 10:07 (about where the audible tornado sirens were - OKC and Moore) gave me chills. Moore got EXTREMELY lucky that day. They were only just starting to rebuild after the EF5 that ravaged their town less than 2 weeks earlier. I can only imagine how horrified the citizens must have felt on May 31. They had just survived one monster tornado and then another one was bearing down on them. Had the El Reno storm kept going towards OKC, the earlier destruction in Moore would have been blown even further to smithereens.

When you live inside a hazardous area and frequent these conditions, you learn the real catastrophe weighs in the breakdown of civil order. This is why I admire their composure during these conditions. Though lives lost can never be replaced, we can always rebuild.

This video is great, no storm chasers screaming there head off, no commentary just subtitles that are actually informative. No music playing in the back ground and for the most part, good stable footage. Also the fact that most of it is dash cam instead of the driver holding a camera in his hand while driving. Very good job.

the sky changing from dark gray to neon turquoise starting at 12:15 is beautiful (albeit a sign that shit's about to hit the fan).

Oof, at least they went off. When 3 tornadoes hit our city in September, the sirens didn't go off. Thankfully everyone in South Dakota is as paranoid as Oklahoma and have redundant storm warning devices.

Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras and Carl Young, may you rest in peace. I do have to say that those tornadic supercells are MAJESTIC!!

You know, if it hasn't been done already, this would make a really interesting addition to the El Reno Survey, especially given the intentional position away from the tornado and within the downdrafts. Would perhaps add some insight into the maintenance of the tornado

Not certain what you mean by evacuation. I see people trying to get home. I've lived in Oklahoma twice, and people don't evacuate during tornadoes. They seek shelter.

I suspect they mean that people "evacuated" the roads and parking lots in the path of the tornado, by going home or to safer spots. The roads and businesses by the gas station where they filmed became noticeably less crowded. But no, there is not time to evacuate a town for a tornado (maybe only minutes of warning) the way people can potentially evacuate for a hurricane (days of warning).

Storm Motion Production I'm not trying to be misunderstanding or mean or pointless but you guys should have got out of the area a long time ago.All of you people think you should just ride out the storm all the time.No it gets you nowhere you just sit at the gas stations for hours not realizing that your putting your lives at risk at a gas station.And hey you never know if that tornado hits gas from pumps can be released or even explode or catch on fire.But gladly you weren't injured or it didn't happen...In my opinion next time if it ever happens you should always head people's word...You could have been seriously injured.And if someone says evacuate,evacuate and if it was a false alarm."Think...If it were to really happen"Trying to ride it out is a bad idea,but if the people come out like emt's or police to tell you to get out of the area because the tornado is really bad.Just do it,and if your house is about to get leveled even without emt's or police show up,You need to go like right at the second.Who cares if the tornado is chasing you,get somewhere safe.And you were not in complete aware of this storm,and next time if you think you can so called "Ride it out"Be a storm chaser who is brave enough,this is a real situation you can't take it for a joke.

I hope you had an escape plan. The canopies of gas stations are of light construction and are the first things to get blown away or collapse in high winds. The store wouldn't give you much cover either, as they are not heavily constructed.

Not their field and doctors are NOT smarter than nondoctors. FACT. Look this up a bit further and don't automatically go with nut jobs saying underpasses are a great and safe way to ride out a tornado. I KNOW the physics and I agree with people smarter than doctors. Please check this out yourself. 200 times you've spent beneath the overpass with tornadoes? Is that right? Hmmm. Go ask Pecos Hank. He is the best of the storm chasers out there for credibility and science. He's not into death and destruction. Common sense and continuing education for all of us curious about tornadoes. This is one thing I do know to be true. I thought the same as you until I watched a program on tornadoes and where the heck NOT to go for safety. Listen to this video at 15:00 and a second earlier?

not to rain on this parade with logic, but I'm pretty sure they were using the gas station as cover from the hail and wind so they could film the storm.

I really enjoyed this. I've seen many videos and documentaries about this tornado, but there's something about this video that really stands out, and in a really good way. I think it's because it seems more real-life. Like the videos of the tornado itself seem sort of...cinematic? Not fake, but there's a kind of emotional separation, at least for me. This video felt much more like I was there, experiencing it. Well done.

I don't know why, but this video is oddly calming and aesthetically pleasing.

Excellent filming of the storm. The way you did this video, I could've watched for 3 hours.

I've wanted to be a storm chaser as long as I can remember. I live vicariously through this kind of raw footage... thank you!!
