I remember this coverage like it was yesterday. About a year after this event, I cut my cable, but to this day I will always miss watching Dr. Greg Forbes. Over the years I learned so much about tornadoes from him. Love your channel...I re-watch your videos many times.
Boom! Blessings my lad for uploading history. Tornado nerd says ME LIKEY LIKEY! AirCast, hat's off salute. This thing was a monster, will not be forgotten.
Finally making it through the DVD collection and have a few more events than I remembered. Going roughly in order of historic significance of the footage. Will post partial TWC coverage of Joplin and (low quality) KWTV coverage of Apr 14, 2012, soon - those are the last multi-hour tornado events (other than recent) not already on here AFAIK.
@@AirCastTV There are more events that I want you to do: April 24th 2010 March 2nd 2012 November 17th 2013 April 27th and 28th 2014 June 16th 2014 April 9th 2015 December 23rd 2015 March 3rd 2019 Memorial Day 2019

Overshadowed by Joplin two days before, and the 2011 Super Outbreak less than a month before. That's why this has been called the "Forgotten EF5". 2011 was the biggest tornado year probably since 1953. Later this same evening, Joplin was under a tornado warning amidst the destruction from 2 days prior. A little over week later, New England would get hit on June 1. Dr. Forbes was a very busy man that spring.
