Disasters of the Century | Season 3 | Episode 3 | Regina Tornado | Ian Michael Coulson 

Dogs are amazing

Know when he's peeing!! So Sad Going to the Vet Monday..

Thanks for the heads up I'm signing off now because I can't watch that it will break my Heart I'm sitting here with one of my Senior Dog's crying because he just (Out of Nowhere) had a Stroke and now his hind legs are paralyzed!! He doesn't even

Thanks for your comment. Your right, hard to judge 100 year old disasters by today's standards.

Exactly! It’s much like judging people in the path of a hurricane or other weather phenomenon back then. The technology was just not around to be able to give them warning, and the understanding of where such phenomenon came from didn’t exist yet.

Some people regard it as a placebo effect, drinking something hot while the weather is hot can make you feel as if ur body is adjusting to the outside temperature (in your head).

Notice how hot countries use curries, hot peppers, and warming spices in their food? That's exactly what it does. It makes you sweat and cools you down. Many of said hot countries, such as India, also drink tea in summer for the same reason.

equarg A pair of fishermen from Oklahoma were killed in a Tornado in Northern Ontario once. That's pretty ironic.

Yeah it certainly was. Oklahoma is in the heart of tornado alley but one would never think of one in northern Ontario.

Canada ... if she don't get you sooner, she will get you later.

equarg Canada has way less disasters then USA

TheCoon GingerCoon More people and bigger cities in the USA. If something happens here,more than likely it's going to hit a populated area.

The original "Bad Luck Brian" meme

Thanks, however our company at the time was located in Regina, Saskatchewan. Therefor getting it right was easy for us since it was our home. Thanks for the comment though, much appreciated.

We Canucks are funny that way.

Lol well in Kansas they do way goofier shit during a tornado hahaha

And only someone not thinking of the time this happened would make a statement like that. They didn’t have the knowledge we have today, keep that in mind.

yep it can get hot on Canada in the summer.

DRONES?! Lol

@@queenlady1180it is an exaggeration denoting the size of mosquitoes. They are big

Maybe they didn't know enough about Tornados. I feel bad for them not knowing! :(

Just what I was wondering.

They just didn't know back then.Today we would call it an honest mistake.They were very lucky.

John Facenda should’ve narrated this

F3 to F4

Wind stops knocking people down and starts lifting them up at around 120 mph, so that's already mid-EF2.

If it can lift up train cars that’s about an EF-3

Tseng Akera - those were very well built houses, a lot of them in that area are still standing today, in use as homes and businesses. The reason there weren't more houses destroyed, was likely because they are built so close together. The wind had to lift off an end one to lift the next one to it. That's my theory anyway. I was born in Regina 72 years ago. 👍 🇨🇦 ✌️

(lol) " By then, ' Murder Hornets ' will have long ago eradicated ALL Human life. "

Don't Think so. Pandemics tend to be forgotten. Look how long the flu pandemic of 1918 was hidden from public memory.

Nah. It'll be known as the biggest medical scam in world history.

Yeah definitely sad, especially since they missed Titanic. Lots of people didn't know what to do in a tornado back then. I mean look people went up into the attic. I mean that's the worst decision those people could've made.

it more shows when our time is up it is up. Because if they were meant to die on the Titanic they would have been on it.

Sure.....Regina means "Queen" in Latin hence Regina is named as the Queen's City or Queen City. Victoria is also a main street in Regina. Dominion day is July 1st or Canada Day. Its the national holiday like Independence Day. The country is a part of the Commonwealth so while we are an independent country the Queen is still the head of our government. Hope that helps.

+Bad Day HQ ... Thanks, it definitely cleared things up! Have a fantastic weekend!

Bad Day HQ yuck. Canada should be totally independent. Screw living under a queen, even if it’s a technicality.

@@Tsumami__ I dunno, QEII has more class in her pinkie than the average American president.

Kitana Kojima I guess you would prefer the Kardashians. Yep, they seem more your speed. Anyway your ruled out, it takes brains to understand how the system works

Thanks

Saskatchewan not that flat, but I do agree with you on some things.

That was in 1987 in Edmonton.

That actually happened here in my hometown of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Back in 1974 the commonly held belief was that Lake Winnebago would cause storms to shift north & go around us. My parents talked about the storm (they were on the opposite side of town from where the tornado hit), they saw the storm actually go over the lake & then back up. They knew it was bad. When the tornado touched down people were calling the radio trying to report the tornado but the announcer refused to believe them until the sheriff called & told him to knock it off cuz it was true. It followed Sawyer Creek & 9th Ave...even took the roof off my elementary school gym & slammed it back down. Storms do what they do with no regard to our rules.

@@hoss73ford Yup. July 31, 1987. It missed my workplace by a mile or two (though we did get freakish winds and massive hail), but went past within a block of a co-worker's house before crossing the river and hitting the trailer park. The ironic thing was that the previous evening, I'd been noticing the weather pattern, said to the people around that it was the kind of weather that spawned tornados and got scoffed at with "that doesn't happen here". Less than 24 hours later, it did.

If you rub the tornado graphic you, it will grant you 3 wishes!

I thought it was a couple UFOs.

Why would they know? The city was relatively new and tornados are very rare in that area. I lived in Regina in the 1960s, and tornado preparedness was not something we knew or were taught about even then. The 1912 incident was regarded as a freak storm that would not likely happen again. But it almost did: In the late 1960s one hit a few miles south of the city near a friend's farm. He told me his neighbours' barn a few hundred yards on the other side of highway 6 was completely destroyed.

True.

Lisa, I lived there for many years no one in Regina would consider themselves living in Central Canada. Saskatchewan is seen as a western province.

well i live in Ontario and we consider Regina central prairies Canada

We also consider ourselves central prairies, Saskatchewan is in the middle of Alberta and Manitoba. When it comes to our position in Canada we are in the west.

I always figured that it was Central and i found out that yes Regina is western Canada....I just find it weird that we have Western and Eastern Canada and no Central....so when it really comes down to it with splitting Canada up is Pacific side, The Rockies, The Prairies, Eastern and The Maritime also the Atlantic side which is the Maritime..

cellars are still not a thing here

CJGAMING -minecraft factions and more weird, you’d think they would be up north

I don’t need a cellar, I live in a “bowl”, so no funnels strike.

We have basements 😊

@@oh_no_no_no famous last words...

What surprised me was the clips of people wading or swimming in leech-infested Wascana Lake. The one time I got dumped in it when a boat capsized, I got out as fast as I could.....

Tornado safety in 1912 was non-existant.

@@JCBro-yg8vd well they had to have known that a tornado will kill you and suck you up and toss you a half mile away from where they were.

@@froey198033 They knew a storm was coming. In all probability, had no idea there was a tornado about to form. (I believe the documentary bears that out)

@@TheDoctor1225 Still shouldn't send kids out in a storm!

Lol, i commented similarly

Really, are you sure about that or you just pulling peoples chains.

They didn't know what to do!😡

Seems like it would be common sence... I was 10 and with my friend home alone at his place during a tornado which came through the field right next to his house, even we knew at that age in a area where tornados almost never happened to get into the basement, we went under the staircase where we also had a solid oak desk pushed on its side with a metal fouton couch above that parelleling the bottom of the stairs with the edge on top of the desk with us under it. There were shingles missing and our bikes we left near the road were blocks away with bent rims and broken chains, his dads old car had been moved half way onto the lawn and the roof over the top portion of the driveway collapsed half way onto the car. It was bad but only that road had any damage and noone was evwn injured but it was scary when it happened.

@Eddie 1967 Don't forget the golden rule of run for the beach in case of tsunami! 😂

Most of us in Ontario, especially the cities don't have storm cellars because they have been rare until fairly recently.

@Eddie 1967 lmao

I do!

Reginaens

Ha ha! Yes! In fact that episode is what popped into my head when I first heard the pronunciation of the city many years ago!

Now that you mentioned it hahaha.

Hahaha it's a documentary on a tornado in Regina.

She and a black singer named Chubby Checkers invented a dance called "the twist."

It's a name that Lady GaGa tried out until no one reacted to it (she had no idea it was a historical event) and went with LGG.

Would make a cool but bad taste name for a sports team in Regina.

Slickthefox1 AJ They are called tornados north of the equator and cyclones south of the equator. Therefore,what hit Regina was a tornado.

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Me to, in Ontario what about you?

Thanks

Awesome glad we could provide some insights for you.

And its still Canada's worst Tornado

I have a good friend who survived a near direct hit from the 1987 Edmonton tornado. Me being from the southern USA, I never thought at the time that Canada had tornados or they were extremely rare.

@@hoss73ford The Canadian prairies average about 41/year, though the perception is that they are rare. When they do happen , they usually churn up some farmland and miss the towns or cities or such. Regina (1912), Edmonton (1987) and Pine Lake (2000) being some exceptions to that. According to Wikipedia, Canada as a whole is second only to the USA for the frequency of tornados.

flying saucers as in dishes.

There're several interesting docs on YT about various epidemics. Yellow fever, bubonic plague, the Spanish flu, TB, Ebola and AIDS of course, to name a few I've watched here. None from BDHq though.

@@indy_go_blue6048 I don't know if they're doing Ebola, the focus seems to be on 20th Century disasters (1900-1999). And the AIDS epidemic would be incredibly controversial, because especially in the U.S. and Europe there was a lot of controversy surrounding the disease at first.

So true.

Well, this was back when modesty was prioritized over comfort.

Google says 4. It rendered 2,500 people temporarily homeless. Took 2 years to rebuild and took the town 10 years to pay off its storm debt.

@@midgie4410 Thanks for the information.

@@nenblom Of course. I had googled it a long time ago because I wondered the same thing.

@@midgie4410 👍

Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching.

I'm from Manitoba, and I think he pronounced 'Saskatchewan' quite well for someone who isn't from our part of the world, or heard of it before.

Excuse me

if you put close captioning on it says that lol

Every time.

@@misanthraaa

@@deniseellis7982 no it doesn't

rofl i used to argue with my mom that regina is vagina when i was growin up now i know it isnt XD

Regina in Latin means "Queen" So Regina Victoria means Queen Victoria. However, the are pronounced differently. The City is pronounced Ra-jina and the Latin word for Queen is pronounce Ree-gina. Hope that helps.

Adblock is your friend

I mean July 31

The Edmonton tornado is covered in another Series called Weather Untamed also on this channel.

Nope, grounds too frozen 😂, some areas at different times just build differently. Phoenix az is mostly on slabs

Thanks for the comment. Even now the Regina tornado is still Canada's worst tornado.

It is the FUJITA scale. Fujitsu is not a real thing... also there is now the stupid Enhanced Fujita Scale, so what was a F4 back then is probably a high EF3 with the damned EF scale.

That's all they had back then.

gg ofrofo well then educate us, how were the natives in the region effected by the tornado?

gg ofrofo It's a 1/2 hour special. They can fit only so much into that!

Nothing about Muzlums or African-Canadians either. How much more shameful.

indy_go_blue60 nothing about the low rent inbreds like yourself, either. Shameful, even the lowly abominations should be included.

Short show and leaves you as the viewer to do more research if more curious. Just enjoy it and look up more on it in your spare time.
