Moore, Oklahoma Tornado, May 20, 2013

This was taken from Southwest 127th place, one block west of Western in southwest OKC. We watched it approach, and could hear it, but couldn't see it. The first sign of it was the debris circling it. As it slowly passed by a half a mile south of us, you could feel the ground vibratng through your shoes. It was an EF-4 and possibly an EF-5 at that time. It moved very slow and stopped and strengthened at 134th and Santa Fe. First tornado I have actually seen, and the last one I want to see. Prayed for all those who were affected by it, and especially for those who lost children. May God bless and comfort them all.

    @Lionel York When a tornado circulation "occludes" & the tornado is getting close to dissipating, it can turn north (sometimes quite suddenly). This is not uncommon, and it can be quite dangerous for chasers & local residents, especially if the tornado is rain-wrapped, which would prevent folks from seeing the sudden change in direction until it could be too late. (if I recall correctly, some chasers tracking the EF-4 tornado that struck Garland, TX around 5-7 years ago almost got hit when it occluded & turned sharply north). Also, it should be noted that the tornado may not weaken a lot when if/when it first turns north. Then, to further complicate things, there is always a chance that the supercell will 'cycle', and as the original mesocyclonic rotation 'occludes', a new area of rotation to the N or NE of the old rotation can form quickly & spawn another tornado. So, situational awareness is crucially important, and it's also why residents in a warned area need to take cover, even if it doesn't look like the tornado is headed directly toward them.

We were hearing some weird noise for 5 or 10 minutes when all of a sudden we heard sirens go off in the distance. We got up and backed up to take a look and there it was, a half mile wide, ef4 monster that had already left a 7 mile path of destruction. Our jaws dropped to the ground because it was only a short distance away and was very wide in our line of sight, and it was roaring. We took cover and it went by just out of any danger to his property. I'll never forget that.

    +tomshiba51 Looking back i think it was a gift. To be able to watch videos of them is one thing,but to be right up near it where any closer you could be killed was kinda neat. Like a thrill ride of another level. I was also caught out on a lake in a house boat on Bull Shoals Lake back in the late eighties when one came out onto the water. Me and five friends were napping in the late afternoon (after a big meal and quite a few beers), when the weather radio went off waking me immediately. Well the thing was right there about a half a mile away coming towards the lake. It cruised across the front of the boat about a quarter mile distance away and created large waves lifting the front of the boat way too high and then the boat would drop down hard throwing us around like rag dolls. That was the making of an interesting vacation. lol! Just like Gilligans Isle.

I was completely dumbfounded by the live pictures of the tornado tearing up your town. Then after it passed the news 9 helicopter was hovering over the damage, and over Briarwood Elemenrary School. I was sick to my stomach!

    This is the first time I've listened to this video, and you really captured the audio of this so very well! I can visualize in my mind just how scary it must look, because I've survived two tornadoes: an EF5 in 1974, and ten years to the day later, a multi-vortex, EF4 tornado! I never want to experience anything like that ever again. That mountain of air and debris is what amplifies that roar, and it's no joke! I've been totally blind since birth, and I can tell you I'm not missing some of those visuals! And yes, blood pressure medicine is a must, but when your ears pop, and you become violently ill during and just after the tornado, it is not a good experience! I'll never forget just how light-headed I was and how dizzy I was once the tornado left. I'll also never forget how all the pavement on our driveways and streets in our neighborhood were completely scoured, and in places, there was three feet of dirt missing! Three days after the 1974 tornado, I found a piece of metal that looked like a giant loose-leaf binder or a spiral ringed notebook. It was a solid, steel door from our neighbor's 1972 Cadilac Sadan! Thank God my dad didn't tell me about it until we got inside the house, because he saw just how terrified I was.

    Yep. We live on the street directly behind (to the north) this man filming. My husband was working from home this day and he had never experienced a tornado either. When he watched it from our backyard he was convinced it was in our neighborhood as well...like a couple of streets behind us. He thought the debris he was seeing were things like dipsy dumpsters. It wasn't until he learned it was over a mile away that he realized the debris were roofs. The mind doesn't really want to accept that something that takes up THAT MUCH of the sky could be very far away. If you rewatch this video and consider just how much of the sky it was, it's really hard to reconcile it was a mile and a half away.

    His neighbors who "just had a baby" that was seen leaving in both of their cars in a hurry were VERY SMART. Any time you have a good visual on an approaching tornado, and you DON'T have a good underground storm shelter, DON'T JUST SIT THERE ASSUMING YOU CAN "MAKE IT" INSIDE YOUR HOUSE. THAT IS A DEATH WISH. Just get in your car & get the hell out of there, but leave in plenty of time in anticipation of HEAVY TRAFFIC from people fleeing just like you are. Traffic jams are no place to be with an approaching killer tornado. NO HOUSE, BE IT BLOCK OR BRICK, CAN WITHSTAND EVEN A STRONG EF3 TORNADO. A strong EF3 tornado "can" totally level ANY home. And stands absolutely NO CHANCE of withstanding an EF4 or EF5. I get so pissed off when I see videos of IDIOTS just sitting there on their front porch watching a huge tornado that's miles away, yet heading straight towards their house, and they think they can "hide in the bathroom or closet". I'm assuming the folks making THIS video do have a proper storm shelter. Even if the tornado misses your house, it is far better to flee and be "inconvenienced" with a false alarm........rather than risk "waiting around to see where it's going to go" and quite possibly LOSE YOUR LIVES.

    I also wanted to mention that it sounded like fighter jets when it reached our homes. We got some damage, but it completely destroyed a home across the street and one over to the left of ours. Also, we were situated at the bottom of a very steep driveway, but many of the homes on our street and on several other streets in the Les Chateau subdivision were completely wiped off their slabs. All that remained were the pipes or plumbing from the toilets. You couldn't recognize our neighborhood.

    Chadwick Borawski yes, sirens should be going off, but tornado sirens are designed to warn people who are outside. They are NOT intended to be a warning for people indoors. Because people taking a shower or listening to music would very possibly not hear the sirens anyway. Relying on sirens alone as a warning for an imminent tornado is foolish and deadly. People need to have multiple forms of warning. EVERY home should have at least one NOAA weather radio that sounds an alarm when warnings are issued. People, especially those who live in areas that are more prone to tornadoes should pay close attention to daily weather reports and should be on high alert when severe storms are possible.

    Chadwick Borawski here is my rebuttal: I was not in Moore Oklahoma on May 20 2013 so I cannot speak as to if tornado sirens where activated in all parts of the city or if they where properly functioning. Why they are not blaring during this video, in this part of the town I cannot say. I can say, however, that tornado sirens are not meant as a warning for those indoors. This is not something I made up. According to the national weather service, when you hear an outdoor warning siren, “it means that something life-threatening is happening and you should go indoors and get more information.” As for Amish people? Although I’m sure they appreciate your concern, but if a town has a properly functioning outdoor warning system, I don’t know what else they can do for them. If they don’t want a small battery powered NOAA radio because they “don’t believe in it”, then I guess that’s on them. Please read: www.weather.gov/dvn/sirenFAQ

    This comment is way late, but it needs a mention. Good job with the camera. Just a few hiccups at the beginning, but no big deal really. Steady and the zooming was kept to a bare minimum. Most people with a camera in hand think they MUST use the zoom function. After all, there is a zoom button right? So many tornado events are completely ruined with ignorant camera work. Too many of the so called professional chasers ruin their work with over the top zoom in and out. Unsteady jerky camera movements and panning back and forth so quick and often that it becomes almost impossible to view. Add to it, they have childish "narration" and in the end they end up with a worthless piece of work. I salute you and thanks for recording a piece of important history.

    True, and there have been F-5/EF-5 (*) tornadoes that were only 100 or 200yds wide. (a good example is the Elie, Manitoba, Canada F-5 tornado...) (*) In the USA, they switched from the "Fujita Scale" (F-0, F-1....F-5) to the "Enhanced Fujuta Scale" (EF-0, EF-1....EF-5) after the 1999 season. In fact, the famous May 3, 1999 F-5 'Moore Monster' that devastated Bridge Creek & Moore, Oklahoma was the last F-5 tornado before the NWS switched to the EF-scale.
