SCARIEST Night Of My Life / Riding Out TORNADO In a Camper 

Yeah I live in the area and It was pretty scary. Nothing hit down but we were surrounded and my tiny house was shaking.

💯 true .. don't those other people look at the news ...

I was hiding in my basement still screaming and scared.. can't imagine being in a camper!

Very true!!!

I’m so glad you’re ok! Now do us all a favor and get a storm shelter put in for your safety. I was worried about y’all all night ❤

Yes please look into investing in a giant bunker or storm shelter, some tornados are no joke, especially in a tiny little camper like that one

Facts 💯

his motto is be prepared not scared so that truly shows he is serious

​@@michellem7300ANY tornado is bad news in a camper, even an ef0 will roll one or shred it no problem

I was thinking the same thing...get an underground shelter, large enough for at least 2 people and your dogs. Have some water some non-perishable food or snacks, a camping potty or bucket....you should be there long, but you may have to be gotten out from beneath debris. I would do this new addition as soon as possible.

Yep...I lived in mine for 2 and a half years....particle board and plastic. Get in a real shelter 😊

yep we lost one camper that way we were at a shelter thank goodness but we came back and it had imploded it was crazy

Yeah. I think he’d be safer just laying in a ditch or under the foundation his grain bin is on or something.

I've seen some videos where people just left their campers and ran with their dogs into a little ditch with water and they survived along with minimal damage to their campers. I've been through just a horrible storm in a pop up camper and we were fine but the people camping across from us were picking up their stuff cuz theirs was destroyed. Weather is an amazing thing and can never be fully predicted what the outcome will be after it passes. I'm glad he is ok, I would have been terrified!

@@wendypacheco7438 on our permanent site, which is a circle shaped area, a bunch of trees all toppled at the same time and took out a row of our neighbors across from us and left the rest of our campers unscathed. Fortunately that side unscathed was the side that were all the fulltime live-in campers who were home during that pop up windstorm. The other campers were unoccupied at the time and going inside later, there wasn’t a piece of furniture left standing. Everything was crushed. They were leveled. The only reason they didn’t blow away was because they had trees on top of them.

💯

Please build a storm shelter and hey I could absolutely see in the video and hear in your voice to last person you talked to before going under table how worried with anxiety you were feeling. I do believe by putting on helmet gave you a better sense of safety then with out it on I think you would have been terrified. Not sure if you would have stayed under there anyway so glad it was a close call . But do please get a plan B or mobile storm shelter that you can lock yourself up in I think the trailer would have killed you if spun around in 200 mile wind even if it only was a few seconds flip in so scary I don’t know how so many people live in those high risk tornadoes areas stay safe my friend thanks for sharing

YOUR BRAVE VIDEO REALLY BROT THE HORRIFIC AMT OF TORNADOES THAT WERE PLUMMETING YOUR AREA, I FELT SOO CONCERNED FOR YOUR SAFETY! KEPT THINKING YOU MUST HAVE SURVIVED IF WE COULD WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO!! GODS BLESSINGS ON YOUR FUTURE LIFE!! GRMA NANCY❤

God bless Ryan Hall! We rely on him here in Missouri

We rely on he and Andy’s expertise, and the wheels on the ground providing real-time visuals, here in rural Iowa, also.

I also watch Max Velocity and Evan Fryberger. Both of them are really good too.

I watch him aslso

@@karenhodg4571 Tornado's in OK again tonight and I've only seen Max Velocity and Evan Fryberger on.

Hey Wally which storm shelter did you get installed. My husband and I are currently checking out shelters

You are very smart.. if I lived in OK that would be the first thing I would have in the ground.

@@lakesuperiorgirl17 I priced a below ground cellar last Wednesday, they ran $5000.00 delivered, dug, set, and covered up. Above ground shelters are more expensive. I have one, don't care for it personally.

@@dalesmyth7398 what don’t you like about it. Do you feel safer in the underground shelter than in a above ground shelter

@@lakesuperiorgirl17 Well, I think it's a mental thing, being underground is much safer I think. I understand the above ground shelters have been tested and all. I had issues with mine, the door locks. This company put standard dead bolt locks on the door, like on house doors!! This was 12 yrs ago. So, I'm moving the shelter about 80 ft, built a new pad, 12'' pad, with 6 pier holes, 6 ft. deep, 18'' round. Rebar, and 7 yds. of concrete. I had 4 new latches welded on the door, 3/4 in. steel bar stock, plus, 2 square heavy metal loops I can ram 2- 4x4 treated post in. It looks like a dungeon in there!! But dead bolt locks dont' cut the mustard. So, that bugged me for a while, plus the pad the company poured was crap. My pad is much better. So, once it's moved, I'll feel better, but still prefer to be underground. And most likely, I'll get another underground one. Last one I got rusted out in 5 years, it was steel, concrete encased, now it's full of water...no warranty, the company went out of business. I was screwed on that deal. Anyway, long stories with cellars/shelters, but what I saw in 1999 in Moore, Ok...underground is best, but shelters work fine if we can predict EF3 or below, which we can't.

Exactly!!! That’s why when you see a real storm shelter it is built LITERALLY UNDERGROUND!!!!

I was thinking you could get under the deck in the middle. It might keep you dry and safe. The camper would just be picked up and tossed. Glad you are safe!

@@Karatemom68x3 Not all of them

I love Ryan Halls Chanel

Living there you should always have a plan ,walk through the woods look for a deep ditch ,fix something you can in a hill side , even if they don't hit you can feel the effects away from it

I am so so sorry! I truly understand ((BIG HUGS)) I am very grateful you and your father are okay.❤

That was one ugly night. I live in a toyhauler in the McCloud area. It was a scary night. Btw I'm from Moore I grew up there graduated Moore High in 1978. I've been through all the bad Moore tornados. I was on high alert that night. I cleared over 100 weather related warnings off my phone after that was all over with. In the moment I wasn't messing with my phone. Had one come within a few miles of me. Anytime in Oklahoma there's weather especially in the spring you need to be weather aware!

how scary to live there. Moore is a tornado magnet. Stay safe

I was north of Cincinnati that day. I’ll never forget it.

I was in Atlanta that day and we got hit as well .

At night though 😮

Yeah as in have a plan before a tornado even happens,so you don't have to panic as badly in the moment 👌​@@paulcarpenter7844

Hold on, so you were inside while the camper was picked up and carried a 1/2 mile? 😮

I was watching in Minnesota

Thank you God! I know you were terrified. Bless you sweetie❤

Do you ever sleep in your storm shelter so that you don't have to stay up so late? We have earthquakes where I live and not tornadoes so I am curious to know what you guys do.

@@kassie4426 A lot of people do sleep in them if they have the type that’s big enough. But there are tons of us that don’t have shelters and we just stay in a hallway away from windows and outside walls. And we just stay up and watch the live meteorologist telling us when to take cover or if we are clear. We also have tornado sirens that go off all over our towns to warn people that may be asleep and unaware of the storms or tornadoes. And I know A lot of Oklahoma peeps will actually stand or sit outside on the porch watching what’s going on outside. lol. It’s not smart. But it’s just how we are raised. And if it gets bad, you go inside and take cover.

It was a wild night!

Heck no ! Have you been through a F3 -F5 ? He should have went into Briscoe.. That was reckless of him and causes Oklahomans to spend more money!! Get shelter next time ! 😂😂😂😂 you’re crazy 😜

Yes, I agree. Those animals will go under the deck with you.

​@@anj3595 Plus I read that round building are safer from tornados, has something to do with the round shape causes the tornado to just be able to go around. I've never researched it but it makes since. Glad everyone is okay.

@@robynfletcher0801 yes I have been through a tornado that took my roof off. My hometown was unrecognizable, it was totally destroyed. I had nowhere to go. Did you see how he built the deck? It would have been the safest place to be. Driving in the dark with tornadoes all around you not good

​@@KatzNDkradleI think his Silo would have been the safest place on the property I think it if it's sealed good it keeps it from being able to catch a lot of wind and the aerodynamics help to brush the storm off

Content lol I mean, its worth a life right?! SMH

​@@sandifurbish4534 Higley doubt for content over his life..by the time it was coming his way or so they thought..it would have been too late to.leave..

I’m sure he had enough warning about the storms coming why didn’t he go in town to the studio with all the dogs,

@@VickyFloridaGirl Did you see any pictures of what's left in Sulfur..those were brick building underline were brick..now it's scattered all over..frankly if anything he was probably safer there then going to town..

Jason why wouldn’t u go to the house or studio

I saw where a man who owned a trailer park buried a school bus to use as a storm shelter for the residents.

​@@beckyshell4649- Bless his heart...very wise and caring.

No it will flood..

You might could even bury a metal storage/shipping container and create a root/storm cellar that way

@@j.a.simmons3053 If it isn't and they are fully concrete, water proof then it will flood its not just the tornado it's the flooding down pour it will flood and possibly drown them..that's not an option

Some root cellars are actually built into the side of a hill that is above any area that would flood. This way people and their stored items are "underground" but not already 6' deep in the worst way.

What kind of thing can you get and dig a whole and enforce it . Our ancestors had to dig shelters.

I have lived in OK all my life and never had a home with a tornado shelter. The vast majority here don't have one, esp those who rent or live in trailers.

Good idea

I thought that too.

Yeah, that deck could withstand a nuclear bomb

@@belindamccreary3523 true

Silos that are not filled with grain can easily implode in a tornado event, the well house would be much safer than the silo.

@@kbaxterpackwood that's good to know. I live in the Texas Hill Country, and any tornados that we have are in conjunction with hurricanes or tropical storms.

@@maryellencook9528 once they start the construction on the inside of the bin, adding joists, studs, and the like, the bin will be less likely to implode in a high wind/tornado event. Not impossible, but less likely. When the derecho hit here in Iowa a couple of years ago it was right before harvest and thousands of grain bins imploded because they had just been emptied of the previous years grain harvest.

Next one best be installing a professional f5 grade storm shelter underground. Costly, BUT ones life is priceless.

😢very sad 😔

@@sst6358 it’s devastating!! My sister and her husband are near Bristow … in a 5th wheel !!! God was truly watching over all of them!! My prayers go out to all who were affected by the tornadoes and storms!! Even the winds were strong enough to damage without a tornado!! Lord Jesus be with all the people !! There are more storms coming !

That's super sweet comment, but who's David? God bless you
