It's not normal

Yes, it's going to be very Violent.

They usually are around ef4 or ef5

​@DustinKayBliss Uh, yes it is lol. It's happened many times before, mainly El Reno in 2013.

@@Trahzy Not as big as it is now 😊. And it is not stopping soon.

What part of Iowa is this hitting? I hope you are safe.

@@jessicaanderson7885 I’m not gonna say exactly where because safety reasons but it’s hitting around Des Moines. Storms have been continuous but I’m not sure if we are within the circle anymore!

When they went around the cop car I was like.... Y'all got different laws over there or what? We'd get pulled over for ignoring an officer impeding traffic.......

Hurricanes, They're like tornadoes but FOR HOURS Huge 10 to 15 foot storm surge as well in the most significant of storms

Yeah but with hurricanes 🌀 you have time to evacuate tornadoes 🌪 not so much.

Hurricanes and wildfires can be more widespread and last longer (especially fires). Earthquakes imo are by far one of the most frightening things I personally have experienced, M6.0 + and nowhere to hide unless somehow you can remain airborne lol. Every natural disaster can seem to be the scariest of them all. Derechos, volcanic eruptions, you name it

Giant Tsunami wave would be scary af too.

Right

Help me I’m in it

Yummy

That's what this reminds of. At one point I counted 7 vortexes in this tornado

My grandparents helped clean up after that storm. They had 50 or so pictures they took. My aunt has them now, but I had never sewn destruction like that until they showed me the pictures when I was about 11 or 12. It looked like the town had been bombed. I was only 3 years old when it happened. I have only seen destruction in person once and that was the 2003 Moore tornado. I live in Texas and pray to never experience it for myself. I hate that anyone has to endure that kind of fear and destruction. I'm praying for everyone that has been affected by these monsters over the last few days! ❤

no minden iowa sadly took a direct hit with one injury and no reported deaths

I’m in iowa I can agree

It has not been confirmed to be an EF5 tornado yet. The national weather service has to come in and survey damage before that is confirmed.

He said f5 not ef5 when will you guys realise they're 2 different things lol​@@Longdistance4life

@@willekewk the Fujitsu scale has not been used since 2007. It has been the Enhanced Fujita scale since then, hence why I used the EF. The statement still stands, until the national weather service can come in and do a survey we will not know the true strength.

@@Longdistance4life when people say f5 they mean winds above 200mph not ef5 so no it does not stand

But beautiful.

Those are storm chasers

Yeah it was crazy that day

😢

Just wait.... 2024 is just getting started. The step change is now in effect.

​@@jonquiljonesWhat change? Multi vortex tornadoes this size are nothing new.

Weather manipulation

​@@daveyboy8907judgement

@@jonquiljonestheres no effect bro

Dead man walking??

​@freddiecunningham2860 the multi vortices create a dead man walking hang man effect.

@@freddiecunningham2860the most infamous example is the 1997 EF5 Jarrell Tx tornado

@@freddiecunningham2860 When a vortex creates 2 (or more) tornados from the same cell, as they swirl around each other it can often look like legs walking across the landscape. Absolutely terrifying and beautiful at the same time. I believe the name originates from a native tribal legend, though unfortunately I can't remember specifically which.

@@cullenterry2450 looked it up last night. That thing is the stuff of nightmares

Definitely a record. El Reno may have had highest wind speed ever recorded on earth. Debatably 302-318 mph

Omg , how do you even try to escape something like that???

A debris ball is different from a tornado width or damage track. A debris ball is using radar reflectivity that reflects unnatural objects in the air instead of rain, and these objects could have been lofted 1/2 mile away or more on every side of the tornado. This is a better indicator of intensity than size.

Nonsense. It's just an every year regular tornado like all the others.

@@FLORIDA_MAN_813 Debris ball means nothing.

Is the footage one of them? How tf they just go around a cop car and they let it go..... Ppl get pulled over for that.....

😮

No kidding?!? First since 2023

Your brain's been ramped down

​@@mattsmith5421😂😂😂

Ryan Hall is "The Boss" when it comes to covering and analyzing severe weather and is a Saint for his assistance to victims following these events

No thanks, I like accurate reports.

Watch Reed Timmer. He intercepted at least 6 tornadoes today including this one. Ryan Hall doesn't even compare.

​@@testiculardestruction he is accurate , sounds like your just a hater

​@@j.t.cooper2963rather be hit by a tornado than have to bear hearing that guys screaming.

Thank God you're safe!

Please stay safe.

I think he just got too excited (the dude who said it was 4 mi wide)

2 mile

AGREED 👍

They might be storm chasers/people who chase storms, or cops, or they are just idiots

I think they are the storm chasers.

@@jessicaanderson7885 No these are not the storm chasers driving into the storm with their private cars

Only 2 ( last to my knowledge ) with minor wounds

is that confirmed ef5? i doubt it

@@theredsalmon612 No, not confirmed. Just what I've heard from a few places.

The NWS will announce the rating after they survey the damage. It is too early to speculate.

@@april-showers77 Yes, I heard it will take a few days. I'm in Virginia and didn't realize it takes a few days. I was going off what a few people said. I jumped the gun in posting the rating. Sorry.

@@DR-mq1vn that’s ok. You didn’t know. Not a problem 🙂
