    I was 17 and traveling with the carnival. Even though from the Praries. I was terrified. I have never seen it go green in my life. Everything was a horror movie green. It cleared up that day. 7 tornadoes hit the day after we left. I still have not seen anything like it.

    I always felt this tornado’s intensity was terribly understated. Airport drive and parts of the Whitesburg shopping center parking lot were literally peeled from the earth. A huge apartment complex and its parking lot were reduced to red clay. Concrete pads on some of those structures didn’t survive. The tornado dug a trench on the ground. I will never forget seeing the aftermath, as I was approaching that area of Huntsville for business as it was happening. I’ll never forget the scene. It was impossible to fathom.

    I suggest Hurricane Michael should have been in the running but you have to look harder for the information because the weather instruments were destroyed so the numbers were only determined forensically after the fact.

    You should do a cake that is a radar image of a strong hurricane. I would love that, especially if it's chocolate. I love the ones that develop a well-defined eye. If you ever do a supercell cake, the piece that has the hook echo and debris ball is to be eaten first, as it's the most dangerous part of the cell, and therefore, the most delicious piece of cake.

    I have experienced an unwarned tornado in Cary NC. It haplened around April of 2020. I remember Charlotte NC having tornado warnings. Anyhow, I was at work pushing carts outside and recognised the clouds comming and decided to take my break. As soon as I sit down, the ground started shaking and I heard what sounded like a frieght train. As soon as it started, it was over. Trees were down in the parking lots and it made a good mess. Everyone at the store was okay though

    I was in my basement with my daycare kids and my own sons that March day in Hesston. I still remember the "taste" of the air that afternoon...like you were chewing on a piece of aluminum foil. The tornado was on the ground for over two hours, traveling from Burrton to Goessel. My children had time to take their most treasured posessions to the basement and I gathered my most sentimental items, too. I called the parents of my daycare kiddos and told them we were safe in the basement and were singing Sunday School songs at the top of our lungs. My husband was on his way home from Maize and he could hear the "storm spotters" and announcers giving updates from Hesston. He said he had never felt so helpless in his life. The tornado came through about a block from my house. Because of that microburst right before it hit Hesston, the tornado spun more tightly and was thinner at ground level. It hit every available park, playground, street and open space possible going through town. I have many personal stories about the tornado, and the courage and resilience of the people that are still so fresh in my memory almost 35 years later. But, there was much sorrow, too. There were two fatalities that day from this storm. Near the beginning of the tornado's path, a six year old boy was killed when his family's house collapsed around them. Near its end, the storm claimed the life of an older woman who tried to outrun it in her car. The terrible irony of a child dying at the storm's beginning and an elder losing her life near its end was not lost on the Hesston people. And our hearts broke for them and their loved ones. One family lost everything down to the slab their house stood on; except for a bed with the husband's open briefcase on the floor next to it. All of their income tax information was in it. Not one piece of paper in the case was destroyed. When the elementary school reopened a week later, the teachers quickly ran out of black crayons. It seems that the children drew a huge black tornado in every picture. As I recall, the Crayola Crayon company had a plant near Winfield, Ks at that time and sent several boxes of just black crayons. As the children grew older, the tornados in their pictures got smaller, but it was several years before some of the students could draw a picture without a tornado in it. A special Thank You to Dean Alison who allowed his video to be used by anyone anywhere without cost so people could study the twin tornados. If you can find it, you should watch his original video with commentary from his family in "real time" as it happened. Thank you to all Hesston residents and families, past and present, who made the world a little better than it was before that March 13th day.❤😊

    4:39, that’s why when a thunderstorm happens I hide under a tree instead of being out in the open. That way if lightning strikes it’ll hit the tree and not me.

    I was near the tornado when that happened back in 1972, in a community called Hazel Dell (to the north and west of the area shown in the video). I was in school, and remember how dark it got. It was shocking to learn just a few miles away, a half dozen folks lost their lives. I will never forget that. And then, a few years ago, now living in Battle Ground (actually in a neighborhood called Meadow Glade), the other tornado mentioned in the video was a half mile from where I was at the time (and am at right now writing this note). In that one, trees got knocked over, and I think a local store lost its roof.

    Making a request for a difficult topic, which is about the increased number of severe turbulence events while flying. Some of these events do not appear to be linked to local weather but instead to global scale circulation.
