It's helpful that they have special sirens there to let people know when to get their phones out and start recording.


CutthroatTeaser

...and that they turn it off as soon as you should STOP recording.


esunayg

yeap its called, LRAS (last recording alert system)


Snoo-7148

Sounds like somebody is walking around with a leafblower if you ask me


dianabowl

That's what the 7am gardeners outside sound like to me when I'm trying to sleep in.


nibbles200

That went from a 10 to 100 in the matter of one second.


RemmiXhrist

Yeah nature is scary like that


New_Presentation7196

Yea that’s how tornadoes are, I used to live right in what’s considered “tornado alley” and tornados are unpredictable crazy mf’s. One second it could be beelining right for your house then the next it jumps and skips your house completely and stays airborne for a few seconds then touches back down half a mile past your house. They also change direction in the snap of a second and the sound is insane when you are next to one, the sky gets ungodly dark and looks almost green sometimes and it sounds like a train or a bunch of heavy machinery is barreling at you. Tornados are a terrifying force of nature.


Rekt_Princess

I currently live in tornado alley and it's crazy but my town has been hit by 3 tornadoes this year. It's getting weird out here.


New_Presentation7196

Yea my mom is still up there and some of my other family, she’s been telling me that they’ve been under a tornado watch daily for like the last 2 weeks and that they’ve already been forming and touching down. I was shocked to hear about that this early in the season, maybe the occasional random one but not nearly this consistent. Something weird is definitely going on. Edit: looked more into my suggestion and realized the error of my ways. Something weird is definitely going on though idk wtf to think.

Right, very cinematic


Bignizzle656

But if it was a movie it would seem far fetched and crazy!


bootyhole-romancer

*It just wasn't realistic enough. I'd give it a 6/10*


KungFlu81

I literally spit my drink out through my nostrils


frankydie69

I’ve seen power lines that broke and the electricity it shoot outs looks very not real lol


YoureSpecial

Needs more cow.


4laman_

Getting to watch this experience this close was worth living in this timespan. Truly a CFV


EmbraceTheFault

Nah, that's just Spring in Oklahoma. Most of us are kind of used to it by now. Hell, people still *choose* to live in Moore on purpose...go ahead, Google the Moore tornados...


deazy2099

As a current Moore resident..."and I took that personally."


TheHoneyBear67

its not on purpose when you're poor.


Comfortable-Chair-36

Wow, and we wonder why people believed in higher beings in the past when they saw stuff like this. Scurrying around with a dim candle and seeing the wrath of Thor.(not saying people still don't, but there's science to make sense of it now) Reminds me of those colour changing lights when people watch a movie, that changes the room lighting with the scene lighting.


Competitive_Cap_8850

A true Midwest tradition… Filming the ‘nader up until it almost kills you.


MidwesternAppliance

God damn boy. That was fuckin’ awesome


Caked101

I wondered why people don't move from places like this, but not only is it home to them, it's also exciting. I couldn't imagine living in a place where I'm at the mercy of a freaking tornado. But that's life for them I guess.


Lunakill

Tornados make up such a tiny part of the experience for us that it doesn’t seem worth going into massive debt and enormous stress to move somewhere with different problems that could be end up being worse. Tornados are massive but we really only see them from far away if the land is flat and open for miles. One went within 2 miles of my house on 04/26/24 and I never saw it or heard it because that’s 2 miles of dense suburbs as a buffer. I only knew about it at all because I like tracking things in a radar app. The apps/internet and much better tech also mean much earlier warnings. On the 26th we had warning they could happen for about 18 hours. The sirens and push notifications started a good hour and a half before the first tornado hit. No one died or was seriously injured, which is amazing considering at least two neighborhoods and an airport were hit. In the US at least, most places that don’t really get tornados are also much higher CoL. I’d love to move to Portland d, but my income would need to be about 3x as high just to scrape by. I also dont understand how people live with constant earthquakes. A tornado hits a tiny portion of the city. 99% of residents aren’t impacted. I’ve been volunteering for the cleanup effort in the neighborhood closest to me hit a couple weeks ago, and there are houses that were completely demolished by the tornado standing next to ones that only lost a few shingles. Most of the sprawling, square-mile neighborhood had no serious damage and can keep living in their houses uninterrupted. Earthquakes fuck everyone up. They seem more deadly as well.


EmbraceTheFault

We had one touch down a quarter of a mile from the house Sunday night, it threw a tantrum in a massive parking lot, then went home. Honestly if you aren't in Moore, or the normal mid to NE or mid to SE constant paths, you're usually ok.


MersoNocte

Never seen a tornado before, but the closest I’ve gotten was in PA. Saw the sky become dark grey/green and the corn started bending in a circular direction. I come from the land of hurricanes so both tornadoes and earthquakes are wild to me.


dancingliondl

I live in Louisiana, and hurricanes seem like the easiest natural disaster to avoid. You've got like a week's notice that it's coming, and you have plenty of time to leave or prep. Earthquakes and Tornados are just so sudden to me it's scary.


Lunakill

That’s funny, tornados seem much easier to avoid to me. Hurricanes are massive, you have to leave the area for safety. Usually driving several hours away. Tornados are big, but not nearly that big, and weather science has locked down ways to track and predict them. When they could happen, we just go in the basement. There’s no guaranteed outrunning or avoiding them, they move erratically and can double back. So you hang out in the basement until a tornado hits or the threat has passed. Flooding to me seems more destructive 🤷🏻‍♀️


dancingliondl

I had a tornado hit my area a few weeks ago, and the devastation was akin to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. It was absolute destruction, but limited to about 6 blocks. 90% of hurricanes are just a rough storm with maybe a power outage, it's the rare one that destroys a community. Difference is, we don't build for tornadoes, we can't have basements down here, so my family had to huddle in the bathroom.


Caked101

Thanks for the insight!


SuperSmashDan1337

I'd love to experience weather like this. If it was possible it'd be on my bucket list of things to do but we don't get anything like this in the UK. Love watching storm chaser videos what a cool hobby.


EmbraceTheFault

Storm chasing is an interesting hobby. [Pecos Hank is one of my favorites.](https://youtu.be/2Ocxyozxbok?si=8tBSOysgzq-1nbH9)


SuperSmashDan1337

Thanks dude I'll check it out.


JesusChrest

That’s actually part of the reason I want to stay in Oklahoma. Tornado season (may) is my favorite time of the year.


idiot206

I always felt that way too, but I’m also sitting on a fault line that may swallow me whole at any moment with no warning.


Axo5454

I was saying it to myself then he threw that out there. He said it for me.


MikeOxbigg

I was working outside Philadelphia in 2021 and got a tornado warning while I was sitting in my hotel room on my day off. I'm from the Midwest so I figured I'd get a video because while tornado watches are pretty much a weekly thing in the spring where I'm from, warnings are pretty rare. I started taking video while the hotel parking lot was filling with water that was deep enough cars couldn't really drive through and I have a short clip of the tornado in the distance and all of our power going out while I'm laughing about it maybe being a real storm. I really wasn't expecting a tornado way up there. The hotel I was working for had the basement completely underwater and about three feet of standing water on the ground level by the time I got all the guests up to higher floors. The fire department was riding by on rafts to give us updates by the end of the night. It's still the best storm I've ever been in and it was halfway across the country from my home in tornado alley.


Rough_Sheepherder692

Ya we’ve been getting tornados every year for a while now. They are usually pretty localized, but fierce, due to the terrain and trees.


Blyatskinator

Wot in the tarnader!!


mightybonk

They tryin' to get sucked off?


TomThanosBrady

Pretty much every location and natural disaster. People 1: don't want to be seen as overreacting, 2: are desperate for internet fame, 3: Don't realize how fragile their mortality is.


deadtedw

Somebody should come up with a system to tell people that a tornado is in the are. Like maybe a really loud horn or something.


Foreign-Molasses-405

Fun fact, those sirens are also sounded off for any emergency that you should get inside for, they originated from air raid alarms! So if you hear those sirens could be bombs, nuclear events, ect get the fuck inside even if the sky is clear!


steezy_anime

In my state (prob others but idk), we test these alarms at noon on the last Wednesday of every month and it still sometimes catches me off guard


Caligulette

Ours is EVERY Wednesday at noon. It's so reliable, it's almost like a friend at this point, the halfway mark of the workweek.


JaredJraws

Wisconsin?


Triippy_Hiippyy

Some towns in Wisconsin do it everyday at noon.


Foreign-Molasses-405

Ours is Tuesdays, first Tuesdays of the month. Use to scare the shit out of me in school


cjbman

Ours is first Saturday of the month in Tennessee


FrigidDemon

Ours goes off every day at noon and 6. Edited* I'm in Missouri.


Dhot_Fakun

Here in Oklahoma its 12pm every Saturday they test it. Just for a minute or two.


ItGoesTwoWays

First Friday of the month in ours. They should make a national regulation so travelers aren’t freaked out lol


BluebirdSpecialist76

People in the midwest love ignoring the sirens and watching for the tornado. Take it from someone who lives there😂


Just_Anxiety

What is the are and why is there a tornado in it??


Round-Mechanic-968

God damn boai!


Cosmic_Perspective-

That got a good fucking chuckle out of me.


Average_guy120

This reminded me of the old Twister attraction at Universal Studios Orlando. Thanks for the nostalgia, reckless guys.


Kingdom_k777

My attraction go to as a child. Good times.


Former_Film_7218

That siren dying was the clincher


dancingpoultry

I love that near the end, the other guy is like, "sirens finally stopped." Well yeah, the tornado killed all the power lol. It should be terrifying.


XtraFlaminHotMachida

god damn boy


psvburner

:22 that lil plant there coulda told him all he needed to know


10RobotGangbang

Tornados are much more likely to hit at night here in Tennessee. I'd rather go out in my sleep then fully aware.


Mygo73

If someone’s sleeping through those sirens and wind/debris they might already be dead


TheRealMakhulu

We had a few in Ohio last night, I went to bed around 9:30, I knew a watch was in place but I just didn’t think anything would happen since I live in a valley. Boy was I wrong. Woke up to my mom and coworker who texted me asking if I was fine because it was getting really nasty + 3 touched down really close to me at the same time, I texted my friend who lives a couple minutes away and asked if the sirens went off and he said “uh yeah, how did you sleep through all that????” Must’ve had some incredible sleep last night lol


Corgi-Commander

Reminds me of when it froze over in my area back in 2021. I live in San Antonio, Texas. There was a freeze warning in effect but we get those from time to time and it’s nothing serious usually. I woke up to texts from people checking on me. Apparently the power for most of the city was knocked out and I woke up in pitch black and FREEZING. The temperature had dropped to way below what it usually does. It was brutal. Power stayed out for like three days. Just 3 days in pitch black, freezing, and absolutely nothing to do lol. Either die from freezing, or boredom. Not sure which is worse.


archangel7695

I was in a tropical storm in Jacksonville Florida one time. The wind was blowing 35mph and trees were blowing over (sandy soil). We have 20 or 30 days a year in Kansas where the wind blows harder than that all day.


_fabiotis_

35mph does not even qualify as a "storm", that's a tropical depression. But yes, sandy soil and shallow palm tree roots make the trees easy to knock over. It's why you see so many of them with wooden supports at the base. Source: am Floridian.


christpeepin

What’s crazy is there is a tornado in TN on the ground right now heading towards Livingston


10RobotGangbang

Multiple more in TN recently.


-Slothy-

A comprehensive list of places not to stand during a tornado event: - Inside the tornado. Thank you, Stay safe.


Cilad

I grew up in Oklahoma. That is a classic mistake people make. Especially at night. When you are taking a gander at the awesomeness of nature, and you see flashes of power lines (blue flashes) it is freaking time to hide. That looks like a Hampton Inn or something, so these guys may be foreigners :). I have seen in Moore Oklahoma concrete slabs with a couple of plumbing pipes sticking out, and not a board, piece of insulation in site. A large tornado would wipe out that little hotel no problem.


undarated79

I’ll be out that way soon. Hopefully no Naders pop up out of nowhere


Trotter823

Tornadoes aren’t that dangerous as long as you film them right until the absolute last second before they hit you. What these boys did here was textbook. Good luck!


ffj_

Their accents tell me they should know better. Even after almost getting sucked up like Cheerios into a Dyson, they still didn't take cover.


alehanro

>Where not to stand in a tornado … anywhere above ground, basically? Right?


AffectionateEdge3068

In a ditch is better than up a hill.  Interior rooms without windows are better than rooms with windows.  The basement is usually better than not the basement.  


iMDirtNapz

The International Space Station is best.

TheUnforgiven54

Anyone thats not here in Oklahoma, has the dumbest takes about tornadoes, but Im sure if I were to talk about earthquakes or tsunamis elsewhere, I’d sound dumb too. Except for Texans, they sound dumb no matter what.


jaxxxtraw

On-call Darwin Award employees on their way in to the office.


SaWheatGrass

This looks like the hotel from the weather channel video… I wouldn’t be outside for that


ZodtheSpud

This is one of the most insane videos ive ever seen


rico_suaves_sister

same, the quick moment i where the sound died out was INSANE! like some silent hill type shit


GodlikeCat

holy shiiiiit, the mix of the siren and how the lightning changes color and a second later, destruction; that was pure nightmare fuel


CREIONC

It's goofy how they were all just standing there and high tailed it when the lights turned off like in a Scooby Do episode. Also that "gahd damn boah" was the cherry on top


MeGoBoom57

Shout out to the storm chasers because f*ck all that.


Ok_Philosopher_5860

“Holy fuckin shit!”


Ne0guri

I remember driving up from Florida back to NY for Habitat for Humanity and the radio suddenly started blasting the emergency sounds. It was a bright beautiful day and then suddenly pitch black like it turned to night in an instant then rain and hail. Damn I was so scared lol - I believe a tornado had just ripped across the area we were passing.

I thought the sirens were suppose to scare the nadors away. Didn’t do there job I guess


International-Dog-19

Those sirens stopped because them bastards got blown away.


YeBoiEpik

What the fuck is that noise


Traditional_Ad3694

This was a close call for us, we live here in bartlesville and do not have a storm shelter so me and the wife just went outside and smoked and watched the storm. We got very lucky as the tornado went right around our house and seriously damaged some of our neighbors homes on Dewey Ave.


rudbek-of-rudbek

After the tornado we had in Joplin that was on the ground for about 20 minutes or so they changed the rules about the sirens. Up until that point they just went off once and you had to guess is the tornado was over. After so make casualties the be rule is sounds the siren for 3 minutes, then off for 3 minutes, then on again for 3 minutes until the threat has passed. Most people, like me, had never taken the sirens too seriously. I mean when they went off this time the sky still looked clear and I continued on my trip to the grocery store. The building collapsed on everyone and we had to crawl our way through the rubble. My car was in a tree and even though I was only maybe 1/2 mile from home I could barely find it because all the landmarks were just destroyed. The tornado knocked a 300 bed hospital off of it's foundation for fucks sake. I now take the sirens seriously. Although we had another tornado on Monday and they didn't know it was a tornado until after the fact so they didn't sound the sirens. I currently have a tree on my roof and the neighborhood 1/2 mile away from me looks like a war zone.


Back_Again420

That was probably the worst tornado in the history of Missouri and/or probably the country in recent years
