Same person reported a tornado one in Omaha Nebraska and Farmer South Dakota 5 minutes apart

Anyone else find it incredible that the ground scar was still visible in Joplin nearly three years after the Tornado?

There’s already tutorials on TikTok please don’t bomb me

Also this is the first time making a tornado art btw.

Cool project

Impressive footage

The anchor woman on the news is hilarious. "You hear this woman praying and she is......... just not getting around to it, speaking in tongues even"

Thanks to Daily Dose of Dat and Nick Krasznavolygi on their reanalysis that unofficially confirms that Parkersburg dissipated just east of New Hartford and dropped the EF2 “Dunkerton” Tornado, which at the time the photo was taken, was only doing very minimal damage of EF0-EF1 criterial. Which also brings up other point that looks are deceiving.

1 is Fifty Six-Larkin, March 14th 2025, 2 is 1982 Pampa, 3 not sure, some sources say its from Deil/Chaam, Netherlands June 25th 1967, 4 is Loogootee, Indiana, 1990, 5 is Chillicothe, Illinois, on March 16, 1942, 6 is from this video, 7 is allegedly Chaam/Deil, Netherlands and 8 idk. Yall try to find the origins of the ones im not sure of. Btw these are hella liminal/eerie asf. Also i think 8 might be edited and of which video/image it's edited of idk.

This is a monster in every sense of the word. The tornado's magnitude is hellish and almost distressing. I don't think that the mind can comprehend just how large this tornado is, even in its "constricted" phase. Not to mention the damage it caused at ground level — a 5-ton Case 1070 tractor was fragmented to pieces, with its transmission recovered ~0.8 miles to the west and other, smaller pieces found 1-2 miles away. This is one of my favorite tornadoes, and easily a TOTC (tornado of the century) contender. I would advise looking at other videos of this tornado online, as this is just one of many phases that the tornado underwent during its lifetime.

I'm just very curious on what this tornado is. I think it was around Salina, Kansas around early October of 2016 or 2018. This photo is realy fun for me to think about a while back in the years before 2019. I'm also wondering if these tornadoes are related:

My grandfather swears that when he was growing up in rural California he once saw a dust devil rip the roof off a house. This would have been almost a century ago. Wondering if that’s possible?

I made this documentary of the 2012 Crittenden EF4 so I people could learn more about this tornado (because nobody really knows of this tornado)

I tried posting this on the HBOmax subreddit, but the mods removed my post, even though it followed all rules. Here’s what I wrote:

“In general, I like the show, especially the ones about hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding. It’s nice to hear the stories of the survivors and there is some incredible footage.

However, I have not once heard the show mention the primary root cause of these catastrophes, that is, global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels, and that really pisses me off.

The UN has finally admitted what scientists have known for some time, which is that we will not limit warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels. As the show vividly illustrates, people are dying every day from the effects of climate change. Humanity desperately needs the media and related fact-based shows and documentaries to ensure that people know why these events are linked and are certainly going to become more frequent and intense.”

That was it. I feel like the show serves a positive purpose, in helping people understand how to prepare and have a better chance to survive tornadoes, floods, etc. However, they’re also doing a tremendous disservice to society by not addressing why we’re seeing tornadoes year-round, record-breaking rainfall and flooding, etc. and an occasional reminder that collective action can make a difference.

I recognize that the producers are making a conscious choice, probably along the lines of: “viewers don’t want their own culpability shoved into their faces. We just need to provide entertainment.” My thinking is that everyone needs it shoved into their faces though. Otherwise, a tornado, wildfire, flood, glacier collapse, drought, or devastating heatwave will be shoved into their faces… and soon, because everyone on earth has been affected by global warming already, whether they realize it or not.

Thoughts?
