I found an image taken of the streets of NYC, near the Twin Towers. What it shows is just debris and meat pieces from jumpers surrounding the area. It gives me a very gruesome and brutal idea of what first responders cleaned up in the fields near the Estate this tornado lingered on. I wouldn't have even bothered picking anything up, especially since it was mixed in with cattle. Absolutely insane a storm can do this to a person.
To have stood there and find out what you had witnessed later on the day or week, would give a feeling like you wished you never saw it when imagining what was inside that distant twistet and the war it fought with humans losing the battle in a way impossible to arrange with words.
Beginning around 9:05, you really get a sense of just how strong the vertical winds were. Just look at that thing. Wow. It looks like it’s breathing. Truly horrifying.
Will u repload the 1990 Bakersfield Valley tornado damage video? Pretty sure its deleted. From all the photos I’ve seen, winds of like 275mph happened there.
Really appreciate your work on enhancing the video - it's hard to get the color adjustment right but you nailed it. Also the right amount of brightness/contrast. Nice!
This is rare footage right here. One of the nastiest, strangest track tornadoes in history. Legendary really. Captured by someone who somehow knew to just stay quiet and be as steady as they could.
@@carlitosdinkler5213 every tornado has multiple vortices. You just can’t see it in most because they aren’t strong enough to condense, but it is clear in damage. Seeing the multiple vortices immediately speaks to how strong this tornado was.
What AI upconversion software do you use? I got AVC Labs Any Video Enhancer AI about a year ago and it produces a moderate improvement on videos taken with my old 640x480 MPEG-1 digital camera and upconverted to 1280x960, but I've not been impressed with the results of converting video taken with Hi8 or MiniDV to 1080p. OTOH, apart from the aspect ratio yours plausibly looks like it could have been taken with a 1080p HD camera, if not 4K.
I use Infognition Video Enhancer, though I think it’s a non-AI/non-machine learning product that I don’t think is actively updated these days. A caveat that I think goes without saying but it is always worth repeating: this is truly a case of “garbage in, garbage out,” I’m very lucky that these videos I get to handle have a good image for their medium (I’m sure my convoluted workflow from SD tape to YT that I’m sure would horrify professional video editors helps as well). I’ve done some tests behind he scenes on other video mediums (upscaling DVDs with horrific MPEG-2 compression, 90s/early 2000s web videos that are below 144p, and RU-vid downloads), and the results are about as bad as you can imagine.
I'll bet that around after the 8-minute mark, 27 people are losing their lives. Chilling, when you think of that. I wonder if folks from a distance were aware of that? I hear all of these people looking on with awe and amazement at this, yet I can't help but wonder if any knew what was really happening?
This tornado and the Philadelphia MS one from 2011 are some of the most ferocious tornados I've seen in relation to the amount of drilling and damage done to the ground
It's mind blowing the extent of how strong a tornado can be. An f5 is in its own universe of existence. A spinng apocalypse. What a frightening aspect of life. These monstrous savages that periodically drop from the sky to annihilate a random place. Something out of a nightmare movie but actually a fact of nature.
I'll bet that around 2:05-2:10, this thing is beginning to wipe that subdivision (and 27 people) off the map. I hope their passings were at least quick. Hearing about what this thing did to their bodies and property is nightmare fuel.
Magnificent raw footage. The Jarrell Tornado of '97 has to be one of the most sinister, yet ominously fascinating in tornadic history. Thank you for sharing, cheers mate 🍻
Wow, absolutely amazing. I live in Maryland so didn't get to see this :( I would have absolutely died if I witnessed this in front of me. This was one of the most amazing things to have ever seen, even on TV
It’s interesting how this twister started as something weak like an F1 Rope. Then it started shrinking and decaying, before it encountered the core of the storm which reanimated it, it became a nest of snakes (Multi Vortex), before becoming a violent fist. No double the Prarie Dell F1 Twister is the same twister as the Jarrell Tornado. So scary how a “weak tornado” that is seemingly dying in a matter of a few minutes can reanimate and turn into a violent monster.
I sometimes wonder if that's why the residents of Double Creek Estates didn't get the heck outta there. They had a lot of time, but they stayed in their homes. They probably assumed the tornado was that spindly, dying thing, only realizing it morphed into "The Incredible Killer Death Wedge" when it was too late.
Most disgusting tornado. If it's not moving left or right, you better hope it's moving towards or away because if not, it's doing a Jarrell and turning every person, animal, and thing inside-out and into 100 million pieces.
not even close. it had already killed people but sat there and continued to disfigure things. its a very weird event but not even close to as scary or deadly as other tornadoes that do that much destruction while actually traveling a long path with a startling forward speed with that intensity that jarell only had from sitting in place for 5 minutes
There have been other projects which amalgamated all known footage of historic tornadoes. (The Andover KS effort is particularly thick with footage.) The approach I've most often seen is that they simply sync all clips and show all of them on screen at once. For older tornadoes like this one, the footage is no better than SD anyway, so it's essentially lossless to display a dozen feeds simultaneously.
I find it remarkable you cannot see debris in many of these sequences, especially during the wedge stage...however there is a piece of debris visible at 10:17 at the bottom left of the funnel. It is easier to see if you slow the video to 25% speed. It appears to be the roof of a house.
Holy z#1+ man I just found your channel today and can’t even tell you how much I appreciate the upscaling of old tornado footage. Please keep it up. You’re doing an incredible job and a service to preserve history
I am still trying to figure out why you have to be in such a hurry? Surely pictures is not so important that you have to speed and pass people just to get them?
What amazes me is how rapidly it intensified into a monster. Multi vortex tornado. So eerie to see “Dead Man Walking”. It was far from textbook in its development. I am fascinated by tornado’s but they are terrifying as well. A F5 is a blender that chews and destroys everything in its path. I could not imagine the terror of hunkering down when a F5 is barreling toward you and yours loved ones. My heart goes out to the souls and entire family’s that lost their lives.
