Great Miami Tornado of May 1997 Part-1

Ғылым және технология

This is local Media Coverage of the Great Miami Tornado of May 12th 1997. Although this tornado was only an EF-1, it was very large and quite photogenic as it tore through the streets of Downtown Miami and across the Venetian Causeway. As you watch this you can listen to some of the eyewitness reports from both the public and the local media and you will truly see why they call Miami, The Banana-Boat-Republic. "Looks like we're not in Kansas anymore Chico"

    I remember this. I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade at the time. My dad had come to pick me and my little brother up (they were evacuating our school because our elementary school was ground level with open hallways- no protection), and I just remember walking outside and looking up and just seeing this massive monstrosity. We lived closer to the city, so while the tornado was still miles away, it was close enough for me to see how terrifying it looked. There was this part that I'll never forget- near the top of it, at the clouds, there seemed to be this grey rectangular shape that remained still, and I just kept my eyes fixated on it because I didn't know what it was. My dad rushed us into his car, and the first thing I did was start crying about my cousin and my mum getting picked up. My dad went to our home and picked my mum up, while my uncle (RIP, lost to COVID) drove his family away. We drove north. That was the first tornado I had ever witnessed, and it was scarier than any hurricane I lived through while living in Miami.

From 1:25 - 2:46 in this clip I was at work, only 1/4 mile to the southeast of the funnel (right about at the spot in the lower right corner of the footage), but looking towards the southeast... had I just been looking in the opposite direction I would have had a front-row seat to this incredible event.

    By no means was this tornado tiny. It may have only been an EF-1 but it was quite large in size. A good deal of the tornadoes that occur in Tornado Alley can be rather small. It's just that when a large and destructive tornado wipes out a town like Moore, Joplin or Greensburg they tend to get a lot of media attention, just like this one did when it formed over Little Miami-Havana back in 1997.

    When people talk about a freight train in relation to a tornado, they are referring to the winds the tornado produce's sounding like a freight train. It has nothing to do with the wind speed of the storm. It had to do with the sound. Some tornados do indeed sound like a freight train. The news reporter who says "with freight train force winds" at about 7:48 is Miss Dumb-Ass herself, Belkys Neray from WSVN Channel 7, the Fox station in Miami. No Brains!!!

    +moviemagg Tornadoes in Florida are associated with summer thunderstorms (weak EF0 tornadoes) and squall lines along passing fronts during the winter (when strongest ones can occur, but most are still EF0). April & May are the driest months. Practically no fronts (at least none with squall lines) pass through during these months and the rainy season (with its thunderstorms) doesn't begin until early/mid-June. So yes, it IS a very strange time of year!

  • @moviemagg

    afh7689 The South Florida rainy season normally begins during the middle of May. So May can be a rather wet month. Tornadoes don't need a squall line to form. There are many factors which could occur to cause the formation of a Tornado in South Florida such a disturbance or low pressure passing over the local area. The worst Tornado in Miami history occurred in the first week of April in 1925 and killed several people in the Hialeah area. Another historical tornado ripped across central Florida in April of 1966 and killed several people as well. So EF1s and 2s do happen more often then you may think and April and May can and does produce quite a number of tornadoes.

If you see a tornado coming towards you flea as fast as you can. A car is a fucking great way to do that. That is not real advice and this guy literally pulled it out of his ass. Countless people have died because they couldn't get out of the tornados path in time because they were on foot. Yes tornados are fast but a car going full speed will be able to out run it. If you are walking you are almost guaranteed to die

    Well, if you take a look at it, Miami’s not a well-prepared city for a tornado. They are very prepared for a hurricane, but not a tornado. Tornadoes rarely hit, and why would you want someone to die in the first place? At my school if you say “I want someone to die” or “I’m going to kill you”, you’ll be sent to a counselor, and maybe a mental hospital. Most of the time, the kids return to school.

    Yes, water tables as low as 6 feet occur in some areas in Florida at certain times of the year. I think the bigger problem is the porous soil (basically sand). The result is that when a hard rain comes (extremely common in Florida), you have a rapid flow of water through the soil. So yes, no basements in Florida. In fact, many houses are raised about a foot off the ground to further prevent water incursion.

I was in Broward County, where the wind and rain were more like Tropical Storm force/Cat 1 gusts, and I could only go by what was on the news. A compact counter-clockwise cyclone making landfall near Homestead is going to have its NE quadrant still over water near the Beach, and a lot of wind-related damage and waterlogging still can take place (and did). I saw it when I returned.
