At about 8:40, when the rain dies down, you can hear the low roar of it coming. Being from tornado alley, I sure recognize that ominous sound! You were lucky!!!
@douglasgriffiths3534 I heard it around the 8:25 mark too. I've only been through a couple of tornadoes in my life(mostly when I was a little girl), but that sound is etched into my memory forever. Even if I'm just watching a video like this, that sound brings back memories. I don't know if I could even properly describe the sound of an approaching tornado, but when you hear it, you recognize it. The noise is unmistakable and unforgettable.
My thoughts... I live in Missouri, so we don't get tornadoes a lot, but we are still considered tornado alley. I experienced tornadoes as a kid, but I haven't seen one. I started studying the weather, and as the video played, right before the popular 8:00 mark, I saw it was growing darker. This made me extremely nervous because when I was a child, I was playing outside with my friends as the tornado sirens went off and I nor everyone's parents thought anything about it. It started to get darker for some reason, and then first, my mom screamed for me to come inside as we saw a tornado pass our house. Most. Terrifying. Moment. Ever.
Yep, common thing for people to think becasue they've never seen one, they've never been close to one. When in fact more people have been closer than they think, whether it was wrapped in rain, very fast moving or small and brief, at night, so on. Tornadors come in all shapes and sizes and visibilities.
@@Trahzy Very true. I know for a fact I've been close to at least two of them... one passed about a mile in front of my mom's house in the country in rural Indiana on 8-15-16 (we didn't realize how close it was, and then I was standing on the porch watching the black clouds rotating above and not very far away, while the main funnel was probably obscured by rain). 9 days later, I was half a mile from the EF3 that destroyed a big area in Kokomo, IN on 8-24-16 (though I didn't see it because I'd been in shelter a good, long while before it hit). In 2019, an active funnel that wouldn't touch the ground for several miles after it was here may have passed right over where I live now, but I don't know for sure. Some pictures suggest it really might have been straight above my apartment complex, but I still don't know for sure and that's pretty creepy, honestly. I went outside not long after the sirens started but all the major darkness was east of us, so I think they may not have gone off until a while after the funnel had already gone by.
I'm going to take an educated guess and say you were in the outer circulation of that tornado. That's the part of the tornado which is away from the condensation funnel, but there can still be a lot of wind and a lot of damage.
It was most creepy at about 1 minute when the skies began changing colors..growing up in the Midwest,I recall that eerie orange cast. Yes, green is creepy but the orange ..really scary. Then,at approx. 9 minutes the lightning. It was nearly on top of you.
no actually, I never said immediately I said pls post more ofter, not POST EVERY SINGLE DAY. its called common sense. and also that is quiet rude, so basically your one of those people who cant stop bugging other people when they say something they like and you won't accept that, so just accept that.
I’m glad it was no where near your house and we couldn’t see the tornado in your video since that would have made the eleven minutes actually interesting.
Very disrespectful of you. The video was very interesting. If you can not appreciate someone's effort to put a video up and say good things about it, then please learn to do so before commenting again.
I've been up close and personal with many tornadoes: I chase them and I'm a spotter for the NWS. The storm here had "THAT SOUND" starting at 8:55 -- anyone who has ever heard a tornado up close knows "THAT SOUND".
Yes there was one confirmed it hit two streets over and did damage. Nothing to bad just windows blown out trees down and most roofs had damage it was an ef1
Well I put my headphones on wanting to hear it and I did but the hail then rain hitting on awning liken to have deafened me but I was able and starting around 8.40. Everytime I hear windchimes in a storm I m reminded of Aunt Megs in Wakita OK. My daughter was around 8 when Twister came out. We watched it who knows how many times We both became obsessed with tornadoes but she became disinterested in high school and remains so grown and gone. My passion for them has only gained and I even took the internet 101 and Skip Talbots undergrad course both in Thunderstorms , Single, Multi , and Super cell varieties then tornado formation and genesis. In my area of NC we get multicellular thunderstorms during summer months but ya have to start somewhere. I later learn NC gets 90 % of the tornadoes that occasionally touch down in our state from QLCS squall line type storms pushed by a cold front but I haven't seen the real deal. I guess I should be thankful but I would like to see one just not from my windows or door. Glad you only heard this tornado and not witnessed it first hand from your hall. Thanks for sharing.
Laugh if you want but there was a tornado that touched down just a couple streets over you obviously didn't watch the whole video. And it was confirmed by national weather service
Yea, I know your right mate, it don’t seem that dramatic on the screen, sometimes. But even one close, is enough to terrify me, as I’ve seen the damage that they can do. Sorry if I done yer head in, but did not mean to. ✌️🏴. Keep safe !
What a waste of time. I watched your video and missed my daily video of watching paint dry, getting a haircut, or grass growing depending upon the level of excitement I can stand that day. 😒
Well that's your opinion cause a tornado did pass extremely close. And you can hear it passing near the end of the video. Ask the nws about it since you think you know it all.
@@stormsandweather2713 true that, the nerves of some people! Your life and the life of your family is more important than they’re opinions! Tornadoes are nothing to sneeze at!
Whatever you say but there was one that touched down a street over and there was damage with it. Maybe you didn't watch the whole video or maybe you your to stupid to realize that I said one passed close by. I never said you could see it and it came through my yard.
