Scary!!! Tornado warning in Fort Worth, Texas with Sirens
Filming a storm moving east into Fort Worth on 4-17-08. Sirens go off at 3:40. A tornado was spotted near the town of Aledo to the west earlier from this storm. Notice the green sky before the Sirens started to go off at 3:40. Sorry about the clicking sound, was using a horrible tripod.

Yet beautiful nature phenomenon yet very destructive
the green color is the heart of a supercell mesocyclone, the updrafts is so strong in this area the rain gets sucked back into the atmosphere repeatedly and creates hail, the reflection of the ice, clouds, and sun make the color look green. This area is the dead center of the supercell and where the updraft is strongest, typically you wont have much wind at all in this area on the ground because the wind is literally going up, as opposed to down or side to side. The rear flank is where the rear flank downdraft is located and where the wind is usually strongest. Rotation occurs near the rear flank where the updraft and downdrafts meet and cause rotation, sometimes becoming so strong and tight that a tornado forms. My advice is if you ever see a sky that looks like this above or even near you take cover

Only supercell you gotta worry about is low topped for damaging winds due to normally extreme wind energy and not much rising as low topped supercells only reach about 20000 ft, we get alot of hslc events here in nc

Exactly. It's fun to watch these videos and hear different sirens, see different events, chase yourself, etc. However, it is a WHOLE different story when the storms come to you and there is nothing you can do. When those sirens sound, and you know it is heading your direction; your entire attitude changes VERY quickly.
Remember people - tornadoes tend to be on the bottom far edge of supercell storms. Just because it has already started raining/the rain is subsiding doesn't mean the threat is clear.
I'd be running for shelter when hearing the sirens yet everyone comes out to look and record!!!!

99% of the time a tornado never forms, when they do, its a small chance it will come your way (if it even stays on the ground that long) I've lived in Texas most of my life and have never seen one with my own eyes...plus the sirens could go off, but the tornado will be on the other side of the city heading the opposite direction.

Those sirens add to the suspense! I live in Allen, and our sirens are sooo much quieter. I can hear Plano sirens and sometimes even Dallas sirens

Oh God this happened one year after me my mom and dad and brother moved from California to Texas. we moved fairly close by fort Worth and watching this gives me the chills
I remember when my baby was 1 years old and talking on the phone to my husbands mom she asked me if the storm was there yet I told her what storm look out the front side as I walk out did not see nothing then decided to look in the backyard and saw a huge dark sky coming toward us before you know it that storm blew up a real big that was the scariest time of my life I live in westworth village which they call it Fort Worth Texas. I love your video.
My gosh, I remember this storm! I was in fifth grade and lived in Keller at the time. I was SCARED YELLOW, especially being (originally) from Wisconsin and not used to awful storms. Let's just say I've been back in WI since I was 18. (I'm 25 going on 26 now.)
I fly into Dallas Fort Worth Texas to see my grandparents in the summer, and had never experienced a tornado when I have been there.
I've been through that kind of storm in Columbia City, Indiana. I had to go to the library with my 13(Now 14) year old sister, and 7 year old cousin. We were in a Severe Thunderstorm Warning but I only knew that because of my aunt. Just being inside a library that's mostly glass was scary and like the sky was pitch black. The sky went from like grey to almost charcoal black. When I saw the supercell forming I nearly burst into tears. But with me being 11 at the time I knew if I broke down by my 7 yr old cousin he would freak out. The sky was green and I immediately thought about a tornado. We had no Tornado Watch or Warning. The only cool thing was the rain it sort of calmed me down.
The sirens are on Attack Mode (used for air raids, fire calls and tornado emergencies when a tornado touches down in the city).
Sirens in Wisconsin sure do sound a lot different!!!
The fact of the matter is you can either go hide in your bathroom for hours or you can go outside and see for yourself. MOST of the time tornados dont just sneak up on you so you can see them miles away before they are anywhere near you. I say most of the time cause sometimes they are rain wrapped and in this case I dont know if it was the camera but it seemed pretty dark and sketchy so hats off to you brother for hanging in there and giving us the great vid!!!
Ah, Fort Worth weather. My favorite. I been though at least 3 tornados. The tornado sirens aren't scary. You get use to them. And the greenish clouds are just beautiful.

Cool video! I've seen a green sky like that over here in Pearland a couple times.
You guys in North Texas mainly around the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex have tornado sirens, y'all are soo lucky where some parts of Texas don't have tornado sirens. In Houston there are no tornado sirens, even though it's rare doesn't mean it won't happen. 1 ef-2 tornado went through the suburb of Katy & another tornado an ef-4 went through the east side of town in Channelview. & I think another 1 went through Aldine, which is in the north side of Houston a long time ago.
I saw a green sky a few times and had some tornado warnings. But where I live we don't really get any tornadoes. A few times we had wind storms that came up to 100 winds and had power outages!
Most homes in North Texas do not have storm cellars or storm shelters.

Last time a tornado went through here was in November 1992 in Katy in the west, passed up Pearland, & Channelview 2 the east. Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex is only 4 hours away by car.

I can´t imagine what it must be like to live in an Area where you have to be afraid all the time. I am so glad that we don´t have Tornados or Earthquakes or whatever where I live.
i had a creepy tornado storm once, it was a school day and was pretty windy and when it was time to go pick up my brother it was getting cloudy quick and i was like "its like so windy today, mom". and she said "we were in a tornado watch all this time and is supposed to get worse very soon". i was a little freaked out but when the storm hit it said that it was severe and there lightning strikes everywhere and after the storm it went to sunny pretty fast which told me something worse was gonna happen and it happened another severe t-storm came and brought hail that it stopped and eveything was back to normal as if that is what i thought, that night there was a tornado warning for the county of bluegrass and that was the closses town to mine and it got pretty bad than we had the tornado but we did not go to any shelter we watched it and was awesome and no damage besides a few branches from that storm. my county was Muscatine, IOWA
Man those clouds are scary, here in South Florida we get bad storms but not like that sometimes there is a lot of lightning and very dark clouds in the spring and summer months.
This is the day and year that I moved into Texas. Scary stuff to know that this happened
that siren just brings many memories of storms like theese
when the sky turns green its never a good sign if anyone of you have seen the movie Twister when Dusty asks Bill what hes doing Bill looks at the sky and says "Going green" which meant he knew the tornado was coming
Everybody gangsta until the street lights are on
whatever the sirens used in your area are, that particular tone frightens me than any other. I guess because its also the ones used near me!
Bless U and everybody
A hard tornado came in 2011 here in Texas. I was in school, and we HAD to take cover, nothing happened, only lights flickering. The tornado was about 3 or 4 blocks away. We saw green skies, i was scared :T
In ny town we never get tornados, only false warnings so a few summers ago when sirens went off we didn't think anything of it until we went outside and noticed two funnel clouds above my house. Two tornados later touched down just a mile down the road but stayed in a field.
Thanks & V good job with the video considering the situation, As far as I'm concerned, there is Nothing scarier and No place I'd rather be than that exact situation. The siren makes every tornado warning just that much better whether in person or on video.
That is eerie how dark it is with the storm
Up here in the Pacific Northwest we have sirens but ours are for volcanos and tsunamis!
Terrifying but good. Great twister sirens though!!
I believe those sirens are whelens in attack/wail mode. Some states use attack instead of alert for tornadoes
