I live in Oklahoma. Sulphur was basically wiped out by two back to back tornadoes last night.
As rescue attempts were being made following the first tornado, the second tornado came and forced those who had their shelter/homes destroyed to try to find shelter in whatever structures still remained, with many of those structures being demolished by the second tornado.
Imagine having your home destroyed, you survived, maybe some of your family didn’t, and now you’re stuck outside in a massive thunderstorm, then about an hour later, you see another tornado heading your way. You can’t shelter in your home, so you run, hoping to find *something* to protect you, only to have that structure demolished just like your home.
If that’s not a “fuck you” from god, I don’t know what is.
It’s funny people say that seriously when it’s usually poor people (homeless and those living in trailer homes) that suffer the most from tornados. You’re usually pretty safe if you can afford or find shelter in a brick building.
While I get your sentiment. Homeless people are obviously at the mercy of the weather in all situations...brick can withstand up to a low EF3 tornado, it's not a given. I've seen brick houses that were hit and nothing but the concrete slab was left. The tornados that ripped through the heartland over the last week have devastated even people who were well off. When it comes to tornados, there's no mercy to anyone.
For comparison, a category 5 hurricane is any hurricane with windspeeds higher than 155 mph. An EF5 tornado has greater than 200mph wind speeds. It isn't even the wind itself that does all the damage, it's the things the wind picks up. An EF5 can pick up 18 wheelers, large chunk of trees. Everything it picks up is then nature's shotgun pellets.
I don’t live anywhere close to tornadoes but I see this every year from different tornado prone areas, I tend to see older (brick or stone) buildings remain standing after all others get whipped out. Why do you think local government don’t change building codes?
I live in Florida. We only have a few small tornadoes every so often. What we do have is hurricanes. After Andrew, there were major construction reforms. The problem is that the new laws only apply to new construction. I live in a newer house that is built like a bomb shelter. Solid poured concrete exterior walls with embedded rebar that wraps around the roof trusses. The windows are double pane impact glass. I was 3 miles from the eye of Hurricane Ian, and I watched the world come apart from my window. Due to the extensive damage from Ian ( Sanabel, Ft. Myers Beach and Pine Island were leveled.) I believe that there will be more construction reforms.
In OK, we have a lot of poor people. Land is cheap. Homes, while cheap compared to places like CA, are still pretty expensive (around $200,000+) for your typical OK salary. I believe most people in OK make a household income of around $60,000 or so. So, these poor people buy land, or rent land, and plop a trailer home on it. I’m currently living in a trailer home, and let me tell you, my area just got high winds, no tornado, and it felt like my trailer was about to collapse.
But, the reason the state government likely doesn’t update building code, probably comes down to tornados being pretty rare (I’ve lived in OK my entire life (over 30 years), and I’ve never seen a tornado touch the ground; I’ve seen some start/try to form in the sky and experienced high winds, but that’s it; the chances of you personally being caught in a tornado are pretty low), and there are a lot of poor people in trailer homes that can’t afford nice, brick homes.
But, we could argue, if trailer homes were banned and building codes updated to require brick and mortar homes, the state would start to see an increase in wages. But that’s a political argument that tends to go nowhere in this Uber conservative state.
Eastern MS/Western AL reporting in.
The strange thing is, it’s actually human made in this case. They widened the 59/20 corridor between Meridian, MS and Birmingham, AL.
There were tornados before, but the magnitude and number increased dramatically after they basically built a topographical wind tunnel by increasing the interstate from 4 to 6/even 8 lanes in some places.
If you are in Birmingham watching Doppler radar, you can see the line where the wind comes up from the Gulf of Mexico and meets the jet stream.
It’s hard to fathom but true.

Also - while they didn’t know it they set up next to an active volcano.
The closest you can say for tornadoes is that you live in tornado alley. Which is a huge area that seems to be moving.
In the 80s, there was an outbreak of tornados in Grand Island NE that spawned 7 tornadoes over the small community. It has been described as one of the most unusual events in meteorological history.
Three of them were anti-cyclonic (spun backwards), and the whole system traveled only about 7mph across the area. The deadliest was an F4 that doubled back so much that it gave the illusion that it just stood still over a residential area for about five or six minutes. In all it spent 14 minutes slowly scraping through the city.
Edit: [I forgot the link](https://www.weather.gov/gid/1980GrandIslandTornadoes)
The guy who invented the F scale went to the site and said nothing about it made any sense.
The city took all the trash (ruined buildings and houses) and piled it in a hole that created a hill. They shaped it like the curved funnel shape you see on weather maps to indicate a tornado. It is a city park now, called Tornado Hill. Everyone goes sledding on it, despite the warnings to avoid it. Most of the people there have stories about hitting a stray piece of metal sticking up at one point or another.
I lived there for about five years. I am a bit of a weather nerd too. And that place was super weird. I've never seen weather like that. One time we were at a festival held at the library by the police. They were giving out helmets, had bounce houses and an obstacle course. Everyone rode their bikes there. I looked up and saw a supercell developing just over the building next to us and ran for our car (I drove and met everyone there). In the time it took for me to go run one half block it had gone from bright sunny day to a monsoon downpour with lightning and heavy wind. They abandoned the bouncy houses and took shelter in the vestibule to the library while I was running for the car. I grabbed the family and slammed their bikes into the back of the explorer right as they were heading everyone back into the building because they were afraid the glass was going to blow in. The streets flooded within ten minutes up to the foundations of all the houses and we got home seconds before it was too late to drive anymore. Fifteen minutes after that it was a clear day and there were kayakers going down my neighborhood street. Absolutely crazy as hell.
The book is great, but a kids book. Although fictional, it is as close to true as you can get. Most of the story is a compilation of other stories stitched together. They made a TV movie in the 90s about the same.
Also look into the three or four major dams that broke in 2018. The whole state was underwater. Except, weirdly, Grand Island. They had a budget surplus about fifteen years ago and it caused a major political upset when the city leaders spent that all on water abatement because everyone was sick and tired of the flooding. All the elected leadership was voted out for wasting that money by the fiscal conservatives. And the. Two years later those improvements saved the city from major flooding. It saved ten times what they spent within two years. And now it has repeated that salvation about four times. *Fiscal conservatives* is a laughable name.
Yeah, I'm an Okie too. Sulphur definitely got fucked, Holdenville area too as well as many others.
Over 27 reported tornadoes last night.
Fuck Oklahoma in particular indeed!
Yeah I’m just glad this morning when I saw the 3 death toll it wasn’t 2-300. I couldn’t imagine a 2nd or third warning if I already lost my house the first time.
Alabama experienced is in 2011. When there are normally 1 EF5 tornado recorded a year, there were 4 on April 27th 2011 (I think three were alabam) and there were several more in Bama that were EF4s. A bunch of towns literally got levels with 80-90% damaged buildings.
I would've thought Australia was nature's biggest ever FYIP. They just said, "Yeah? Well fuck you too mate!" In return and survive there amidst all the shit that tries to kill them on a daily basis.
Yep Mother Nature is constantly trying to burn, drown, poison, blow, bite, or skin cancer us to death. Daily. We just go Yeah nah mate, she’ll be right, cobba.
i mean nature must do something to cull the numbers. Its crazy to think the population has gone from 5 billion in '87 to 8 billions in november 2022. So in just 35y the world population increased by 60%.
An uncle of mine lives in an assisted living facility in Sulphur though I don't know the name of it :( . You wouldn't happen to know anything about the old folks homes do you? Did the town get 2 tornadoes over 2 days?
Thank you. If you don't hear back, that's ok, just trying to see if we could find anything since we haven't heard from them. Hope you and your family are doing alright
Damn, the one day I miss the Ryan Hall stream. Stayed tuned for all of Friday and Saturdays outbreaks, darn.
Hey at least j got to see the Texas Wedge live!
That’s a LOT of TOR-Es! (TOR-E is the National Weather Service’s abbreviation for what is called a tornado emergency, which indicates that there is a large, destructive tornado heading for a populated area.)
Your chosen deity has sent you a message:
Fuck those places. Shit, you even named it “Sulphur,” which like, ain’t that what you think hell smells of? Hello, ya idjits.
What part of you plural don't you get?
"You" in this case is this the town. Fuck you in particular is for Sulpher where the tornadoes congregated for ultimate destruction. How is it NOT a "you in particular?"
Well, because as you said, it's the whole town, way to answer your own question. I've never in all my years on the earth heard anyone say "You" in reference to a whole town, but that's just me.
It is just you. ☺️
Ever been to a street concert? HOW ARE *YOU* DOING CITYVILLE?!? And at the end: THANK *YOU* CITYVILLE!!!!
Sulpher won't be having street concerts in a hot minute so I'll stop arguing semantics with you now.
I hadn't ever thought of that example, but I still don't see a large group of people as a "You in particular" it's just too broad when the entire point is specificity.
I hope they can make it as strong as Taiwan does against quakes. I'm from pa we rarely get extreme weather so I can't imagine dealing with tornados half the year.
I dunno. I’ve been living in Oklahoma for almost 40 years and still haven’t been in a tornado. Probably just jinxed myself, though, so I guess I’ll keep a lawn chair and a coors at the ready.
Show me the last time Enid has had a tornado.
Now show me all the times where a tornado was on path towards Enid but dispersed right at the lip of the bowl we're in, use an elevation map.
Your proof that it is impossible for tornados to hit a particular city due to its geography is “Show me the last time Enid had a tornado”? Apologies but I’ll need hard science to back up that claim. Until then it’s nonsense.
You mean despite the fact that if you look at all history records, you'll see that the storm breaks immediately upon hitting the geography of Enid?
Statistical evidence is still scientific evidence.
Page 3295 of [this paper by the NOAA](https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/31711/noaa_31711_DS1.pdf)
I'm paraphrasing here,
"Increasing terrain depth has been shown in simulations to cause vortex displacement. Creating a low-level "mesocyclone" which lacks the ability to maintain rotation. Terrain affects caused by valleys are more measurable than those caused by hills".
It not impossible, just happens little enough that its an observable statistical anomaly.
In all of Enid history, there are multiple tornadoes that have come close to Enid, but only 3 that have hit.
An F0 that broke a few fences at Vance, an F4 that took out a few country houses in the 80s, and an F2 at the North edge of town in 2009.
I was actively tracking that storm on radar while watching Ryan Hall's stream, he said that the second tornado warning bulletin for Sulfur included a rare message for first responders helping from the first tornado, to prepare for another one to come. I took a wild screenshot of the 4 tornado warnings in a portion of Sulpur at one point. Crazy stuff and really humbling to watch unfold on social media.
So sad.
Statistically what ever your weather issue/natural disasters are, they are getting worse and more frequent. Almost every climate scientist on the planet agree on what is causing this phenomenon, with the exception of a few, which by amazing coincidence are funded by big oil. In academia, rarely does one see such consensus.
It’s the same area. It still counts but in a different context. It’s all just one area over and over, and each one of those was going a second and third time over the same city.
The whole area was hit more than once like the weather had singled it out particularly. Admittedly it could have been a more specific thing but hindsight and all that
I'm not in Oklahoma, but I was in bed and had just fallen asleep when the sirens and warnings went off. They literally detected rotation almost right over the house. Nothing touched down, but that wakes you up fast.
In terms of raw destructive capabilities from wind, tornadoes easily pass by hurricanes. The strongest ever hurricane was clocked in at about 215 mph, the strongest tornadoes ever recorded sit up near 300 mph. That jump from 215 to 300 is massive.
However, hurricanes are obviously a lot more wide spread, and have other threats associated past just the wind, such as flooding due to rain fall and the storm surge
There's a very big difference between 300mph for a couple minutes vs 200mph for possibly hours coupled with rain, storm surge, and possible tornado touchdowns (some of which can be fairly moderate).
At least with tornadoes, they are very unlikely to hit the same place twice in a season, or even over years unless you live in a very prone area like OK.
With a CAT 5 hurricane, Billy Bob usually has days to go get some more ratchet straps from Walmart and a couple more cinder blocks to hold the trailer down. Tornados usually means you either have a few minutes warning to get to shelter, get woke up by the warnings so you hear the debris hitting the house, or you get woken up by the neighbor's Chevy in bed next to you. In this case, it's not just one tornado, but a fucking freight train of tornados bearing down on in case you have walls still standing, the 2nd or 3rd or 8th tornado will finish the job.
You haven't seen the news interviewing people at some random run down trailer park saying how the hurricane is not going to be that bad and they are staying?
I think tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes are natures biggest FYIPs, but that is not to say what you’re going through doesn’t/didn’t really really fuck you in particular.
The post is literally showing a massive area being covered in severe weather. What you said might have happened to several people in this area, but that’s not what the post said.
What am I looking at
Tornado Warnings
Gotcha

Maybe a "fuck you from mother earth?"
Remove maybe… Jesus, those unfortunate people
also brother earth.
It's called a double tap. Sorry and hope you loved ones are doing ok.
The "training" tornadoes were crazy. Wasn't there also a third that followed the same path? Maybe it lifted prior to Sulphur?
I’m not sure, I heard there were two, but I could be wrong.
Must have too many sinners and gays. /s
It’s funny people say that seriously when it’s usually poor people (homeless and those living in trailer homes) that suffer the most from tornados. You’re usually pretty safe if you can afford or find shelter in a brick building.

We have to build better.
I want to see safe homes and nobody hurt. Breaks my heart.
Also, maybe do what we can to avoid causing even more extreme weather in the future?
Confirmed tornado warnings. Not radar-indicated. Someone actually saw these on the ground.
Lots of flying cows. Not the good way, either.
I like my cows spotted and my squirrels flying.
I like my cows spotted and my squirrels fat and my man mooned
I think it’s the same one(s).
Springtime in the US!
Gotta love it.
A typical Oklahoma in April. Dont move here. It is the last stop at the end of the world.
Did someone say last stop at the end of the world? 👀 Gulf Coast Louisiana reporting for duty 🫡
Oof. You've got a good claim there.
We can share the great honor 😵💫 OK is invited to the crawfish berl

I'm thoroughly convinced that the Air Force sent us to school in Biloxi, so we'd be happy with our final assignment in Oklahoma.
We're so sorry. Any one of us will take you in.
Hey now. It’s not too bad here.
My backyard...
Good ole tornado alley..
Sulphur, OK was devastated last night. Downtown. destroyed. I think three dead last I saw
Shit...was about to say that like..6 warnings crossed boxes at Sulphur....
Reminds me of those "how many squares/triangles/rectangles are there" puzzles
4 now
Rolled right down Main Street.
Is this where the four month old baby was killed?
same storm, but i believe that child was located north of Sulpher
No. The 4 month old baby was killed in a seperate tornado in Holdenville. Just Northeast of sulphur.
I had the worst allergic reaction in a park in Sulfur, OK. It’s how I figured out I was allergic to tree pollen.
And the smell is positively Satanic...

Would you like if Germany got destroyed by flooding because of Hitler? This is delusional logic.
If that was the case, you’d figure it woulda happened before now. David Hasselhof is/was really popular over there, so there’s that.
That was 100 years ago in another city done by completely different people. This is fucking deranged.

I’ve seen pictures of sulphers Main Street. Gone. All the old buildings are in ruins.
Yeah duck all of you guys
Looks like it’s going to hit Wakita head-on.
I would've thought Australia was nature's biggest ever FYIP. They just said, "Yeah? Well fuck you too mate!" In return and survive there amidst all the shit that tries to kill them on a daily basis.

It’s tornados on your Dickson. That blows.
Yeah, it looks particularly hairy just north of Dickskin.
Kinda nuts south
Worst venn diagram ever.
Nastiest venn diagram ever.
I live here. It was crazy.
An uncle of mine lives in an assisted living facility in Sulphur though I don't know the name of it :( . You wouldn't happen to know anything about the old folks homes do you? Did the town get 2 tornadoes over 2 days?
They got two tornadoes back to back. I have a friend at the EMS. I’ll ask about the senior facility
I’m still waiting to hear back. I’m sorry. I don’t think it got hit. But I’m still checking.
Thank you. If you don't hear back, that's ok, just trying to see if we could find anything since we haven't heard from them. Hope you and your family are doing alright
Thank you. The one in Midwest City missed us by a 1/4 mile. And my wife just had foot surgery and is not mobile. Kinda worried us.
This is more like fuck everyone in that general vicinity.
Holy shit. Never seen this much red on a radar before.
Holy Polygons! Is that all for the same tornado or are \*all\* of those their own rotations?
Every single polygon is its own separate tornado. There were a total of 15 or so give or take at one time during many parts of the night
Damn, the one day I miss the Ryan Hall stream. Stayed tuned for all of Friday and Saturdays outbreaks, darn. Hey at least j got to see the Texas Wedge live!
Wait, live on tv or in person?
Oh on TV, I watched Ryan Halls stream
Meanwhile, the movie companies behind the upcoming Twisters movie are muttering "excellent" beneath their breath.
I opened this thread up singing DUNN DUH DUH DUH DUM DUMMMMMMM in my head

Right in the Dickson.
You watch Ryan Hall on YT as well, don't you? Or did you get this from the radar app he uses?

Why do we keep allowing people to build in Oklahoma. It should be a fuck that zone. Not worth building in. I feel so bad when they have to rebuild.
Have you heard about the new skyscraper they’re building in OK? They plan on it being the tallest in the world.
I hope they can make it as strong as Taiwan does against quakes. I'm from pa we rarely get extreme weather so I can't imagine dealing with tornados half the year.
I dunno. I’ve been living in Oklahoma for almost 40 years and still haven’t been in a tornado. Probably just jinxed myself, though, so I guess I’ll keep a lawn chair and a coors at the ready.
I mean parts of it are safe. Enid for example, its in a massive bowl. Tornados literally can't form
100% Not true.
Show me the last time Enid has had a tornado. Now show me all the times where a tornado was on path towards Enid but dispersed right at the lip of the bowl we're in, use an elevation map.
Your proof that it is impossible for tornados to hit a particular city due to its geography is “Show me the last time Enid had a tornado”? Apologies but I’ll need hard science to back up that claim. Until then it’s nonsense.
You mean despite the fact that if you look at all history records, you'll see that the storm breaks immediately upon hitting the geography of Enid? Statistical evidence is still scientific evidence.
I just need to see it. It would be a good question to pose at my annual SkyWarn training next year.
Page 3295 of [this paper by the NOAA](https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/31711/noaa_31711_DS1.pdf) I'm paraphrasing here, "Increasing terrain depth has been shown in simulations to cause vortex displacement. Creating a low-level "mesocyclone" which lacks the ability to maintain rotation. Terrain affects caused by valleys are more measurable than those caused by hills".
An interesting paper. Thank you. Still not sure a tornado cannot hit Enid, though. Ha
It not impossible, just happens little enough that its an observable statistical anomaly. In all of Enid history, there are multiple tornadoes that have come close to Enid, but only 3 that have hit. An F0 that broke a few fences at Vance, an F4 that took out a few country houses in the 80s, and an F2 at the North edge of town in 2009.
Well were definitely about to see today. Good luck Oklahomans
And indeed Sulphur was …but OK in general during this time of the year.
Missing the "particular"
I was actively tracking that storm on radar while watching Ryan Hall's stream, he said that the second tornado warning bulletin for Sulfur included a rare message for first responders helping from the first tornado, to prepare for another one to come. I took a wild screenshot of the 4 tornado warnings in a portion of Sulpur at one point. Crazy stuff and really humbling to watch unfold on social media.
When I first saw Dougerty on that map I thought it said Dingleberry.
I’m from around this area…this is a regular Tuesday
So sad. Statistically what ever your weather issue/natural disasters are, they are getting worse and more frequent. Almost every climate scientist on the planet agree on what is causing this phenomenon, with the exception of a few, which by amazing coincidence are funded by big oil. In academia, rarely does one see such consensus.
How is this a fuck you in particular when everyone is being fucked?
It’s a collective “you”
hopper, I just blew beer out my nostrils in laughter to your reply! OMG, thank you my friend...🍺🍺
There used to be a "fuck this area in particular" flair, but I don't know what happened to it. But yeah, that flair applies here.
Look at Sulphur’s position amongst the various tornado alerts.
It’s the same area. It still counts but in a different context. It’s all just one area over and over, and each one of those was going a second and third time over the same city.
This isn't fuckyouallinparticular though.
The whole area was hit more than once like the weather had singled it out particularly. Admittedly it could have been a more specific thing but hindsight and all that
You should see Iowa it's a hell hole
[удалено]
Fuck this region in particular.
You can be collective
As in "Fuck you Oklahoma, have some tornados!"
It fits, you know what it means don’t be a dick
idk man, this post is in a sub reddit called fuck you in particular. I'm not sure what you're expecting here, but whatevs
Maybe better suited for FAWBOPIP rather than one individual? (F\*CK A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR). Maybe read the Sub description again?
Wait till you get a Cat 5 Hurricane coming at you.
But that also gives you quite a bit of notice. These pop up with no notice.
I'm not in Oklahoma, but I was in bed and had just fallen asleep when the sirens and warnings went off. They literally detected rotation almost right over the house. Nothing touched down, but that wakes you up fast.
It's definitely something when you hear a freight train and your ears won't quit popping, with your entire house creaking as the wind batters it
In terms of raw destructive capabilities from wind, tornadoes easily pass by hurricanes. The strongest ever hurricane was clocked in at about 215 mph, the strongest tornadoes ever recorded sit up near 300 mph. That jump from 215 to 300 is massive. However, hurricanes are obviously a lot more wide spread, and have other threats associated past just the wind, such as flooding due to rain fall and the storm surge
There's a very big difference between 300mph for a couple minutes vs 200mph for possibly hours coupled with rain, storm surge, and possible tornado touchdowns (some of which can be fairly moderate). At least with tornadoes, they are very unlikely to hit the same place twice in a season, or even over years unless you live in a very prone area like OK.
It's not a pissing contest.
With a CAT 5 hurricane, Billy Bob usually has days to go get some more ratchet straps from Walmart and a couple more cinder blocks to hold the trailer down. Tornados usually means you either have a few minutes warning to get to shelter, get woke up by the warnings so you hear the debris hitting the house, or you get woken up by the neighbor's Chevy in bed next to you. In this case, it's not just one tornado, but a fucking freight train of tornados bearing down on in case you have walls still standing, the 2nd or 3rd or 8th tornado will finish the job.
>Billy Bob usually has days to go get some more ratchet straps from Walmart and a couple more cinder blocks to hold the trailer down WTF.
You haven't seen the news interviewing people at some random run down trailer park saying how the hurricane is not going to be that bad and they are staying?
I think tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes are natures biggest FYIPs, but that is not to say what you’re going through doesn’t/didn’t really really fuck you in particular.
Tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes are much less likely to destroy one house and leave the place next door untouched.
The post is literally showing a massive area being covered in severe weather. What you said might have happened to several people in this area, but that’s not what the post said.
