TORNADO OUTBREAK of December 10-11, 2021 

Like a thief in the night

Rite

Oh yes, siren sounds are just terrifying. And yes, a tornado sounds like a train, rolling fast on tracks above you!

You pray just to make yourself feel good. Selfish act.

@@CooManTunes Really, my dude?? Let people have some comforts. There's nothing selfish about that.

@@gemini-vibes6118 Yes, my dudette. They can pray all they want. It's only for their own comfort, though. It's a selfish act.

Does anyone know if Weather channel went (or stayed) on last night during the Severe Wx?

@@drdoloresmize5386 I don't think so.

Team Dominator!

Reed timer is the tornado guy.lol

I had to do pizza deliveries in south county St. Louis with the constant sirens going off, it was quite the experience. I’m a huge weather fanatic and have been researching a lot on this years weather- I would like some input from other people here. With the storms current still raging today in the east, we don’t know the exact number of current tornado touch downs- yet I’m thinking it may be a mirrored image to the 2011 outbreak-leading to our most likely a active winter season and a active 2022 tornado season. Anyone else have thoughts?

Yes

It could be 1000 feet from you but you wouldn't know what direction it's coming from

@@puffpuffpass3214 and iT goes very fast too

U.S.A 🇺🇲 = I have 4,018 Nuclear Warheads. God 📖 = I have a Tornado 🌪️

Gave me chills just thinking about it. 😬

Thoughts and prayers 🙏

Nice initiative !👍🏻💪🏼

🙏🏽

Glad you're ok, stay safe out there.

Hey thank you all for the kind words! My family that lives in Bowling Green were a few streets over from where the damage started. We are very thankful and fortunate they all are okay.

When things go wrong, don't go with them

All outbreaks are historic lol.

The night of complete hell

I slept right through it here in Lexington, Kentucky...lol

Almost got hit but got missed by a mile or less and could hear it and had a debris ball on radar not just on cc but on reflectivity radar too and was in it

The Mayfield tornado?

@@ilwx ya. It was all 1 tornado, according to radar loops from the NWS in both Memphis and Paducah. Circulation never ceased and it never lifted. It only lifted near McDaniels, KY, after starting SW of Jonesboro, Arkansas.

The Supercell began back in Arkansas!!

@@jaredpatterson1701 correct. The first observation of the tornado was in Arkansas as well.

@@illogicalcanadian even if tornado warnings continually said “confirmed tornado” there’s still a chance it may have lifted briefly. I think about the Nashville-Cookeville Tennessee tornadoes and the Bassfield Mississippi tornado as a prime example.

I used to live in murfesboro

My daughter lives near Brentwood..she’s without power too. Said it sounded like a freight train when it went by..

Almost got hit by one of the tornadoes but got missed by a mile or less and could hear it and was a debris ball not just on cc but on reflectivity radar too

And later saw a cloud to cloud lightning bolt that branched horizontally

This Tornado had been unprecedented in Kentucky, the most surprising of all is that it struck in December. They often happen in Springtime NOT in December. Our hearts go for all the victims and for their grieving families.

Omg did you work at the candle factory where all those people died?

@@dianad0523 yes

Oh gosh. Glad to hear you made it out on time!!

Wow!! Glad you knew to leave. So sorry for all the loss you’re dealing with right now 😢💕💕

@@erowl4252 I'm so thankful you got out of there on time. I'm so sorry for the loss of your coworkers and friends. Its completely devastating and I'm grieving for you.😥🙏

( 24 ) And when they saw it as a cloud approaching their valleys, they said, "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Rather, it is that for which you were impatient: a wind, within it a painful punishment, ( 25 ) Destroying everything by command of its Lord. And they became so that nothing was seen [of them] except their dwellings. Thus do We recompense the criminal people. ..Brothers, this is a warning and a warning from God not to commit the forbidden things that God has forbidden, and not to disobey His Messengers, Jesus and Muhammad..I bear witness that there is no god but God, and bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God and that Jesus is His servant and Messenger...O God, have mercy on us with your mercy."

Reeds a little napoleon

@@user-sv8ii6bk1n seek therapy asap

OMG PLEASE BE CAREFUL

Same but one thing doesn’t make sense. Why wasn’t the people warned in time. This tornado was on the ground a long time before it got here and still they didn’t let’s them people out of that factory were all of them people died.

Hopefully the god you pray to is different than the one that caused this to happen.

Keep safe and pray guys all kentaky needs cares and love ✌🇵🇭 philippines loves you Guys

Same here!

​@J. Bernays You ok buddy?

Joplin was still rebuilding a few years ago- it was so devastating..

I still convinced the Joplin tornado was a EF6, but due to many reasons they will never truly confirm a system of that rating. Even if it is “technically” apart of the Fujita scale. However my wishes to the people and families impacted by this tornado and the countless others that came from last night and still going fourth.

I have Reed to thank for my recent interest in tornados. His enthusiasm and knowledge is infectious. I watch Storm Chaser reruns EVERY SATURDAY, without fail! Keep up the good work, Reed and I hope you won't be offended if I say that I hope I don't ever see you in the Louisville metro area because that means some shit's about to go down.

@Beanrock 124 So far the strongest ones rated were EF3, however they are only preliminary ratings and are still under study. The extremely violent long tracked one still hasn't been rated as of yet, but it's a possible EF4,EF5. The last EF5 was Moore, Oklahoma in May of 2013 I believe.

@@metaldiscipline3955 yup, the last EF5 was the moore tornado. i truly believe the long lived tornado will be upped to EF5 once the surveying is done, it was absolutely horrific

Thank you!

龙卷风so Strong

You as well mate! 💞

Dozens killed. 80+.

Had that same line further south and east come into Maries County Tor Warned, luckily it passed just south of me as i was in a mobile home, and boy was i ready to get out of there.

I was at the theater last night in osage beach and heard it rolling through (small world!) and could barely hear the movie, and the lights were flickering too. I hadn’t realized that it was going to be that bad. Hearts and prayers for the lives lost last night.

All too often, the siren goes off after the tornado strike. I listen to the weather and watch it myself.

Texas. ❣🇦🇺❣ Ty.

You could see IT clearly on the radar and I was like “oh that’s not good. That’s NOT GOOD…”

on local news here in St. Louis, most of the building is now gone. fatalities have been reported.

It's just so insane to think that _WIND_ can just rip completely through a massive concrete building, like wet toilet paper. I'm looking at the pictures and remembering a tornado that went right past my middle school in '02 while we were all sandwiched _upstairs_ in the hallways because the school was overcrowded. The tornado just obliterated half a YMCA, an entire Payless Shoe Store, and a bunch of houses on the way to the field adjacent to our school, blowing out every window on that side of the building and scattering all the desks and chairs, everything. That tornado was nearly responsible for destroying a school full of kids, and I've had a healthy respect and fear of tornadoes ever since. It was the September directly after September '01. And the following September ('03), our state's governor died while in office. I grew up thinking September was just cursed.

@@SomeRU-vidTraveler crazy reports saying concrete foundations were getting ripped up. That means you aren’t even safe in a basement against a tornado like this. Really scary stuff.

I have a custom raspberry mojito candle, as well as a peppermint wonderland candle ordered, and it BETTER get here on time! That’s all I have to say.... IT BETTER!!

@@illiteratebrian1707 I thought only an F5 class tornado would be strong enough to rip up concrete from roads was this an F5 strength tornado?

Not mother nature government sponsored terrorism haarp

I hope your grandfather is okay. I'm sorry he lost his home. I can't even imagine what he and the others in the town and the affected areas are going through right now. Absolutely devastating.

@@susiethomas6909

Thanks he’s fine he’s staying in a hotel room and my mom left to visit him and they are planning where he will live. He did some heroic things because his neighbor had a hole in her leg and he helped take care of the wound and she’s hospitalized now

@@plaguedoctorfilms574 Please thank your Grandfather for his heroics helping his neighbors. I'm so sorry he lost his home. That was so smart to hide in the chimney! Be safe 🙏❤

Tornadoes should be respected and taken seriously all the time, for they are no joke study tornados and have a plan should encounter one in in all kinds of senarios take it from me i used to live in kansas.

Thank God they helped saved so many lives

I hope they build a machine to stop a tornado

This was the same tornado? I was thinking a separate one dropped down around Rolla, MO and headed SW to NE. I was around Oakville, MO at the time. Has any updates on the Amazon warehouse or the St Charles tornado come through?

I live in the St. Louis area and we had two tornado warnings last night, which is a new one in my book.

@@firechasersparkles2023 we’ve had plenty in the past before. But usually they either go north or south. But yeah it went off about 3 times for me

@@vynir4395 Dang. I'm glad to hear you're okay though.

Amazon employees cant have their phones. Cool, But geezus can you have someone with the warning scramble the troops!!!???

My sister lives in flaherty and we live a few mins it terrified me bc it was going straight towards her area but luckily it didn’t get her area

I live just across the dam here at Rough River. 2 more miles and it would have been head on. Appears it lifted after destroying the boat sheds at the dam.

Yeah usually you're larger EF4s and EF5s tend to be multiple vortices

Ok

@@jimihendrix225 alright

Living hell there man the light post

220 miles it stayed on the ground and 200 of those miles was in Kentucky

@@denniswhite4548 That's beaten the tri state tornado of 1925.

@@jaggass yes I looked it up by 1 mile

Thanks..much love..

Guess what - prayers won't help

I don’t know I even bother posting on social media anymore, please can you keep your negative responses to yourself and let people send well wishes when they can’t physically help. Send a prayer is sending positive thoughts and love, regardless of your spiritual standing.

@@smartfck4 Well..you are sadly mistaken..I personally hit my knees and asked my Father in heaven for protection last night..and I am apparently still here to praise Him..Jesus Christ is King..I pray you come to know Him before its too late..much love..

@@Wagons-Rule Stand strong in your love for Christ..continue to spread His word and love as He has told us to do. People make their own choice between heaven or hell..Don't be discouraged by the attitudes of people. We, as Christians never turn our focus away from our Lord, regardless..the devil is working overtime now because God is gathering His children for His kingdom...Much love to you..thanks for all prayers..

Every time a tornado warning is issued in our area my sister becomes panicked and anxious. The worse the tornado, the more severe the panic and anxiety.

💔

I was trying to get out of jboro last night when it kicked up close to there sirens were going off & when i made it to brookland they were going off there also safely made it home in paragould but was on the lookout , prayers for all the familys that lost loved ones 🙏🏼

So glad you’re entertained Margaret, with so many dead

Yeah not the description I would use.

Yikes

I live in fort dodge Iowa lol

I hope you're doing alright!

@@yourlocaltrash00 thanks we’re good so far

I hadn’t caught the news yet. That’s awful!

@@AllYourBaseAreBelongToU5 it's so heartbreaking. The storm chaser Chris Jackson is the person who reported this. He has been on scene in that area.

Prayers went up for all those affected by these terrible storms/tornados last night. So sad!

6 confirmed fatalities at the Amazon warehouse as of Sunday, Dec 12th; ranging in age from 26 to 62. [Edited to update current info.]

i mean yah cool storms, but also this tornado actually just killed about a hundred people so… i think it’s worth the trade-off

Ehh it's ok but you definitely don't want tornadoes

I have a feeling this may be the start of it all. I’m around the St Louis area in Mo, and the storms ripped through both sides of the county. But with this Unusually warm December. We might see a very harsh and cold winter. Which in turn will also spike our 2022 tornado season. But. Good luck today, my prayers and thoughts will be with you and everyone else.

My friend was a thousand feet away from it and slept right through it. He remembers the hail and the power going out but that's it. I slept through the one in Evansville, IN, Nov. 6th '05. I remember waking up and thinking how bad the thunder was and when the lights went out, but had no idea about a tornado until later. My Seabee company went looking for bodies at the trailer park that morning and afternoon.

there were 194 tornado emergencies during that timeframe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_tornado_emergencies

so now this is the longest tracked tornado in american history.

@@damonmcfarland9364 Yep

@@damonmcfarland9364 unofficially, but I watched the live stream its entire duration and it never appeared to let up, only went through cycling

Nashville officially recorded 78 mph winds at the Weather Office..making it the 3rd strongest wind measured of record there.
