Scary Tornado....gives you chills...

[Freedomisneverfree]

I came across this clip and the tornado is horrific. This was in Iowa..

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Yep. This particular one was an EF-3. But in a relatively sparsely populated part of Iowa.
They can form anywhere....in any given weather system with the right conditions.

You wanna see something REALLY scary??
Google the footage of the Joplin, MO EF-5 tornado in 2011.
If you were in its path and above ground that day....you didn't survive.

Nah, THIS is a bad tornado. A specially constructed armored intercept vehicle was designed to drive directly into the path of a large tornado, anchor itself to the ground, then withstand the wind and impacts without being blown away in order to capture meteorological data and take this video with people inside--- be sure to maximize your screen size to full screen:

Id get a parachute and jump into that tornado, but id ride it on the outside edge where its safe and film it live on TikTok. That would be a cool video.

Tornados/Cyclones are part of living with nature just as living with hurricanes on the coast, torrential rain storms and blizzards. Each are devastating in their own right.
The only way to be safe in a Tornado/Cyclone is to have a storm shelter.
Anyone living in a Tornado probe area should build a shelter in their home or close to their home for their own safety.

Orrrr you could use my parachute method, detailed above.

I think I should have been a storm chaser. I LOVE bad weather. I see something like that and I want to get closer to it....I have no idea why.

Im just fascinated with bad weather.

I've always been fascinated with them but being in a car driving towards one takes a lot of "cajones"

I suppose that is true, I can say "I want to go toward them", while sitting in the safety of my home watching the videos on my computer.


Still, I'm attracted to storms. When the tornado sirens are blaring in the neighborhood, I'm the person standing in the front yard trying to look for it lol

Never seen anything like it.

The pictures are horrific...and even they don't do it justice.

Before and after: The photos that show the complete devastation caused by the worst tornado to hit the U.S. in 64 years

The images of Joplin show how the working class city of around 50,000 people in Missouri was reduced to a disaster zone in a matter of minutes.

Many neighborhoods all that was left of the homes were concrete slabs.

Found a picture of what it looked like...imagine this everywhere...
