This tornado was just unreal i mean EF5 for 30 straight miles and near EF5 intensisty for 65 miles is just unheard of, a 1 mile wide monster moving at 70 mph that can kill u in 3 sec is nothing short of scary
That’s 300 mph of wind that just went flying by. Talk about dodging a fatal bullet. Not to mention the RFD of 90-100 mph. Just imagine if THIS Monster went through Tuscaloosa
That low rumble is horrifying. It's even worse in person... If you live near a mountain or hills with lots of trees you have no clue where it's coming from, but you can hear it.
If you look closely at the front edge of the tornado at :34-:35, you can almost make out a skull 💀 image in the rotating cloud. Almost like the ark opening in Indiana Jones. Terrifying.
No matter what storms I chase, viotors or EFUs, nothing will scare me as much as Hackleburg. That and greensburg are the only tornadoes that keep me up at night
Although we only have photographs and a few videos of the damage done by the tri state tornado of march 1925. The hackelburg-phil campbell tornado of 2011, Gives a idea of what the tri state tornado looked like. Both tornadoes were fast moving dust and rain obscurred massive wedge tornadoes. The hackelburg-phil campbell tornado was 1.25 miles wide at it's peak and the tri state tornado was 1.3 to 1.5 miles wide at it's peak in Southern illinois. Only in relatively close proximity can you detect these two tornadoes are indeed tornadoes by the sight of it swrling while moving swiftly. While hearing the sound it makes which is similar to a fully loaded freight train traveling fast.
though from what ive seen no tornado has resembled the 'fast black rolling fog on the ground' that has been reported by tri state. i too believe hackleburg is the closest in comparison, but the old descriptions by multiple people of what tri state really looked like is more horrifying than any video of a modern tornado ive come across still. i still cross my fingers and hope one day someone will discover an old camera reel or something of a photo or two of tri state up in someones attic, no matter how unlikely that may be.
nothing will even come close to topping the horror of the tri state tornado. i highly recommend looking into it and digging into as many random interviews and stories as you can find about it on the internet. it is by far the most disturbing and unreal tornado thats happened in modern time.
Best tornado footage ever. Rare close up of a high end EF-5 at peak intensity. This is what the Bridge Creek 1999 tornado would have looked and felt like close up, this one may have even been more intense.
Very possible. Tim Marshall and others have gone on to say that Bridgecreek-Moore and Jarrell were the benchmarks used for the EF5 rating. It's implied that a tornado that earns an EF5 rating is automatically extremely high-end and May 3rd/Jarrell caliber.
@@LVM5584 Think about it. I know the EF scale has several flaws, but only 3 tornadoes have a rating of 210 mph or greater on the EF scale: This tornado, Newcastle Moore, and El-Reno Piedmont. Everyone screams Smithville as "the most violent ever," but this is not supported by the data. I believe this tornado was more violent than Smithville. The NWS themselves think so, too.
whats scary is its a baby in size compared to how big the el reno 2013 monster was. i remember going to some national park where there was an exactly mile long walk around a huge lake and the time it took to do one lap around that is what i always think about when i think of a mile wide tornado, and to think one could get a mile wide, let alone basically 3 miles wide, its just plain nightmare fuel.

I believe this was one of the strongest tornadoes ever. Despite a forward speed of 60+mph, it still managed to scour over three FEET of dirt off the ground, and granulated the debris. It takes winds of 300mph or more to do that. And very few tornadoes have ever reached that strength.
Probably stronger than the 1999 Bridge Creek tornado which had measured winds of over 300mph. I’d bet this one was even stronger. Absolutely epic tornado.
No idea where the three feet ground scouring comes from. The only place I have heard of such a feat is on YT comments. It did granulate debris, remove a few foundations/break them, and completely disintegrated a large vehicle.
I have watched several videos of the Moore tornado but for some reason this one really creeped me out. I could feel the " heavyness" of it meaning it was taking lives.
listening to this on a huge audio setup is absolutely insane, I cant even comprehend the amount of power this thing had, this is hands down the most powerful and terrifying tornado of all time, there is something about it that sets it apart, unbelievable
I just came across this video. I live in Madison, AL, just south of Highway 72 and west of Wall-Triana. This thing came by us about 2 miles to the west and roared on to our northeast. I'll never forget the constant roaring sound or the look of it. We lost power for a week, but that was a far better outcome than what happened to all of those poor souls killed by this tornado.
