Remember when Mark Peyton got hit with that 400YD wide tornado?! I barely escaped it! • INSIDE A 400 yd WIDE T... Follow my chases on Facebook: / evenmorepi And my Instagram for epic photos! / evenmorepi
I was a storm chaser for 20 years and I moved back from Waco TX to Comanche TX when my parents got sick and needed help. I got to chase the supercell last week from Cisco to past Waco. Large hail in Hico, one small tornado at killeen, but some amazing pics
It takes a team of extremely experienced chaser to do do this at night time. Especially when you’re in places like MS, AL, GA, etc… with trees blocking everything.
I remember this. May 22 2020. I got great time lapse imagery from my house in Wichita Falls. Thankful no tornadoes hit us, but we got a lot of rain that night
I'll admit. It would be really amazing to see together in storm chase you, Storm Chaser Chad and Mark and Matt Peyton, that would be ome crazy journey. Good video.
We must have been near each other for that little Bellevue tornado! Basically the same reaction from about the same angle. 😂 It just appeared out of the rain! Glad you stayed safe.
@@MorePi Actually no, I was kinda late to the party driving down from Kansas City. So I had come in from the DFW area. Was on my way up to Wichita Falls when I got distracted by the Bellevue storm. Happened to be in the right place at the right time for that one!
In tornado situations I run lights. I mean of course I come to a stop and wait for traffic but thankfully here in tulsa we dont have redlight cameras. Multiple times we have been in tornado warned storms with sirens while I am driving home from work and people will sit at lights to turn right or left and they will wait a full cycle for the green arrow instead of yielding left or right on green. It always amazes me how people are just so unaware. Anyways the only 2 tornados I have seen/chased were 2 very significant when it comes to how storms are warned. Joplin in 2011. My dad asked if I wanted to go chase because we could see from Tulsa how intense those storms were going to be. We had never chased before or had any training. We drove all the way to joplin and then it looked like the storm was falling apart so then turned back to go south maybe 15 minutes before the infamous tornado hit. We actually missed it to go chase in kansas oklahoma... which is on the border or oklahoma and arkansas... We saw a little EF1 hit siloam springs. Then got the call about Joplin. Part of me is glad we turned back but the other part of me wishes I had seen it. The reason that storm matters so much is because it put an end to over warning. Back then they would sound the sirens for every little storm if it had any rotation at all which made us ignore sirens. The other storm was the Tulsa tornado from 2017. I was asleep which is weird because I normally stay up till 2am every night. This thing came through around midnight. Something woke me up. I dont know what it was but something. I looked out side to see the trees blowing like crazy and I just attributed the sound I was hearing to the wind. I was living with my parents renting a bedroom. I jumped up and something told me to go wake them up. When I walked into my parents bedroom my dad was awake in bed. I told him "I think we should move to the basement" he replied with "I am pretty sure it just passed us" So I walked outside just in time to see it in 1 flash of lightning about a half mile south east of me. Then the sirens went off. This storm had no warning. There was a small chance of rain that could be thunderstorms but no predictions of tornados, thats why I went to sleep because I love sleeping through light rain and storms. Anyways it did knock my power out but like 5 minutes after it had passed and my power was only out for maybe 20 minutes. Around 2am I drove to my work to see if it got hit and it did not fortunately/unfortunately. The path started about 4 blocks from me, went through my backyard as an EF0 and about 2 blocks later ramped up to an EF1 and then after another block became an EF2. I lived at 38th and yale the storm followed 41st from basically yale to sheridan which is about a mile then curved south. The reason that storm was significant is because it showed what under warning can do. Thankfully no one died, but 30 people were injured in a TGIFridays that was about 6 blocks from my house. Its wild to think how close I was to getting hit. The path on the weather services map literally had it going through my backyard 10 feet from my bedroom.
Yeah I probably would've run the light if I was paying more attention to those crazy velocities, after making sure no one was around of course. That's so crazy you were that close to Joplin! I flew over it a few years after and could still see the scar. But you had a tornado just skirt your backyard?! Yikes. Thanks for sharing.
@@MorePi Yeah the backyard one was crazy. Still can't believe how little damage we had. Most of my neighbors had little damage as well thanks to it not ramping up until it got to the outlet mall thing. As for Joplin I often think about the simple what if we stayed there. Both glad and sad I didn't.
I watched your Minecraft videos on mmapgaming when I was younger, but I love these videos now! Keep up the good work, I hope you become very successful.
Not yet! Hoping to get my last chase video from 2020 up in an attempt to get caught up soon. That and the big outbreaks were pretty far away. I've got a wedding to go to this week but after that I'm going to hit the plains hard.
You should add a link to this channel to the most recent video to your MeMyselfAndPi channel. A lot of us wonder where you are now. Glad to see you are still creating. I am revisiting the 4x4 tutorial to flip the edge after over 10 years.
Just some advice for you. If you happen to drive through a deep puddle, keep the rpms high(about 2k rpm). That will help keep the spark going in case water gets down the coil pack to the spark plugs. It's not a big problem with newer cars, but it can happen. It's happened to my 2006 saturn vue a few times between 2008 to present.
I ❤ your energy, choice of words & your Sissy being there for you. I was raised in tornado alley. I saw a churning cloud spinN loudly over our home as a young teen, the sirens blareN scare the bejesus out of me and so I rarely visit home. I crept into KCMo in 2011 from the west coast that May..during the Joplin disaster. We had a lg storm cellar to keep us safe & I can't visit the alley zone if family doesn't have a safe space. Don't like guns nor tornados. Lived through the eruption of Mt St Helen's in 1980. I ❤your chase and hope you all stay safe to chase another day. Your work is so vital to communities that are impacted by these violent storms from mother nature. ✌️
As you're excited to see them I get super anxious and very scared anytime we get a watch or warning . I'm trying to educate myself so maybe I won't be so fearful. Never experienced tornadoes before but we moved to Mo and this is our first season and so far April 4 and 5 was scary
You’re not alone. I have anxiety as well. It affects a lot of people. I can read radar extremely well and still get nervous on high risk/moderate risk days as I know what they can turn into to. Gotta take comfort in the fact that the chances of your street and area getting hit are extremely small but I know that doesn’t help really when you’re anxious. Just breathe and have a place to go. That really helps because no matter what, you know you can get to safety
I have anxiety about tornadoes too, Little Ray. Anytime a watch appears, I watch the weather, even in school! as soon as a warning hits, i tremble and panic so badly. But don't worry, just hope that there won't be a tornado and it (Hopefully) won't happen. Missouri (at least where i'm at) doesn't have any tornadoes at all. I hope this helped-
I’ve always wanted to chase tornados but bc we dont have money to pay for gas that much i have to wait for a storm to appear in lower Wisconsin/ mid Wisconsin but besides that i dont even know if its a good storm and when the spc service says it gets close it will either not show anything, show a huge storm but hard to deal with or if the day before doesn’t have anything good i have wait like weeks or even months. I’ve just been waiting but its pretty depressing so far
Yeah, admittedly if you saw what happened to High Risk Chris' Prius I felt like I just saw that it could've been mine as well. It was a wakeup call for me. So while I know I'm always taking a chance out there, I think now I'll be treating these storms with a bit more respect.
Sure, I can try to write an alternative story based on the video title. Here is what I came up with: I Survived a 500 yd Wide TORNADO! It was a normal day in Oklahoma. I was driving home from work, listening to some music on the radio. The sky was clear and blue, and I had no idea what was about to happen. Suddenly, I heard a loud siren and a voice saying “Tornado warning! Seek shelter immediately!” I looked around and saw a huge funnel cloud forming in the distance. It was moving fast, and it looked like it was heading straight for me. I panicked and tried to find a place to hide. I saw a gas station nearby and decided to drive there. Maybe they had a basement or something. I sped up and reached the gas station, but it was too late. The tornado was right behind me, and it was massive. It was at least 500 yards wide, and it was roaring like a freight train. I jumped out of my car and ran into the gas station. There were a few other people inside, and they looked terrified. We all huddled together in a corner, hoping that the tornado would pass by. But it didn’t. It hit the gas station with full force, ripping off the roof and walls. Everything started flying around us: chairs, tables, shelves, cans, bottles. I felt something hit my head and I blacked out. When I woke up, I was lying on the ground, covered in debris. I looked around and saw that the gas station was completely destroyed. There was nothing left but rubble. The tornado was gone, but it had left a trail of devastation behind it. I checked myself for injuries and found that I had a cut on my forehead and some bruises on my arms and legs. Nothing serious, thankfully. I looked for the other people who were in the gas station with me, and I saw that they were all alive too. We were lucky to survive. We helped each other get out of the wreckage and waited for help to arrive. We were shocked by what we had experienced, but we were also grateful to be alive. We had survived a 500 yd wide tornado!

hey Pi You should try to add a tow Hitch to your Prius get a small Camper and use it for when you need to stay out from home for weeks on end it may seem kinda useless But its worth it since you will be able to store Food Supplies Parts Batteries Generators Sufficient Charging Microwave, Stove and a sink is all worth it along with a mini shower
Honestly the footage of pi returning to Bowie and it just being destroyed was kinda terrifying, it also reminds me of how tsunamis got their name, tsunami means harbor wave in a different language because sailors would go to sea from their (intact) docks, see nothing wrong while at sea, then return to shore to find their docks and everything else destroyed, the reason they don’t feel or see the wave is because out at sea the wave is only about 3 feet tall and about 50-100 miles wide, meaning it’s very subtle, only difference between those stories and pi’s case here is that pi knew it was happening
