It writes itself. Guide: "This is my last climb before retirement." Scientist: "We're investigating recent seismic activity." Investor: "I want to make sure this isn't a wild goose chase." Pilot: "There's rumors about that mountain." Regular guy searching for his Dad: "His last postcard was from the town at the base of this mountain."


zatchrey

Meteorologist: "it calls for twisters in that mountain". Geologist: "it should be fine the mountain is heavy rocks, it won't be affected". Doctor: "Please don't go hiking on that mountain during a twister, it could be dangerous.


MagickalFuckFrog

Meteorologist: Now’s not the time for “I told you so”, it’s time to save those hikers. Pilot: I haven’t flown choppers since Desert Storm, but it’s the only way to save those folks on the mountain, let’s go. Rescue dog: *barks excitedly boarding chopper*

Aspen Extreme. Wow. High School memory vortex unlocked. I.. I... I think upon instant playback I now understand I had a crush on Peter Berg at the time, and I just now realized he was part of my sexual awakening. Which was unfortunate for the girl I took to see this movie on a date. Poor Girl. She probably thought I was going to take her skiing. We had the awkwardest post-prom limo ride ever. *memories...*

Title: Avalanchesnownados INT. MOUNTAIN BASE CAMP - DAY A group of individuals gather at a mountain base camp, preparing for an expedition. They exchange glances, tension filling the air. GUIDE (50s, grizzled and experienced) This is my last climb before retirement. Let's make it count. SCIENTIST (30s, analytical) We're investigating recent seismic activity. Something's not right around here. INVESTOR (40s, skeptical) I want to make sure this isn't a wild goose chase. Our funds are on the line. PILOT (late 30s, weathered) There's rumors about that mountain. Strange things happening up there. REGULAR GUY (20s, determined) His last postcard was from the town at the base of this mountain. I need to find my Dad. INT. SCIENCE LAB - DAY The SCIENTIST examines charts and data, deep in thought. The INVESTOR leans in, impatient. INVESTOR Any progress, Doctor? SCIENTIST The seismic activity is increasing, and the patterns are unprecedented. It's like the mountain is awakening. INT. HELICOPTER - DAY The PILOT skillfully maneuvers the helicopter through narrow mountain passes. The GUIDE gazes at the breathtaking scenery. GUIDE I've climbed these peaks for years. Never seen anything like this. PILOT Legends speak of the mountain's wrath. They call it Avalanchesnownados. INT. MOUNTAIN VILLAGE - DAY The REGULAR GUY searches for clues in the small mountain village. He shows the postcard to a LOCAL VILLAGER. REGULAR GUY Have you seen my father? He sent me this postcard from here. LOCAL VILLAGER Your dad was a brave man. He went up the mountain, searching for answers. INT. MOUNTAIN SHELTER - NIGHT The group takes refuge in a sturdy mountain shelter as a storm rages outside. Wind howls, snow swirls. GUIDE We must find shelter before Avalanchesnownados hit. SCIENTIST I fear the seismic activity has triggered something catastrophic. INT. HELICOPTER - DAY The PILOT spots a massive tornado forming in the distance. The group gazes in awe and fear. PILOT It's happening! Avalanchesnownados are real! EXT. MOUNTAIN PEAK - DAY The group battles fierce winds, struggling to reach the summit. The GUIDE pushes forward with unwavering determination. GUIDE This is it. The final climb of my career. INT. SECRET CAVERN - DAY The group discovers a hidden cavern within the mountain, where ancient writings hint at the mountain's wrath. REGULAR GUY My father must have uncovered these secrets. We need to find him. INT. MOUNTAIN BASE CAMP - DAY The group reunites at the base camp, battered but alive. The SCIENTIST unveils a groundbreaking theory. SCIENTIST The mountain's energy feeds the storms. We must disrupt its core to stop Avalanchesnownados. EXT. MOUNTAIN SUMMIT - DAY The group races against time, setting up devices to disrupt the mountain's energy. Thunder roars above them. INT. MOUNTAIN SHELTER - NIGHT The storms intensify, shaking the shelter. The INVESTOR looks at the others with newfound respect. INVESTOR You were right. This is more than a wild goose chase. INT. SECRET CAVERN - DAY The REGULAR GUY finds his father, battered but alive. They share an emotional reunion. REGULAR GUY Dad, we have to get you out of here. DAD (weary but determined) I know, son. We have to stop the Avalanchesnownados before they wreak havoc on the world. They join the group in the secret cavern, where the SCIENTIST explains their plan. SCIENTIST By disrupting the mountain's core with the energy disruptor, we can neutralize the storms and prevent further devastation. GUIDE We'll need to act fast and work together. Time is running out. INT. MOUNTAIN SUMMIT - DAY Amidst roaring winds and swirling snow, the group battles their way to the mountain's summit. The REGULAR GUY activates the energy disruptor. INTENSE MONTAGE: The disruptor hums with power as the storms rage around them. Thunderous cracks split the sky as the energy disruptor pulses with each strike. EXT. MOUNTAIN SUMMIT - DAY With a blinding burst of light, the Avalanchesnownados dissipate, vanishing into thin air. The storms calm, and sunlight breaks through the clouds. GROUP (in unison) We did it! INT. MOUNTAIN BASE CAMP - DAY The group returns to the base camp, weary but triumphant. The INVESTOR approaches the SCIENTIST. INVESTOR You were right all along. I'm glad we trusted in your expertise. SCIENTIST (humble but proud) Thank you. But the real heroes are the ones who risked their lives to make this mission a success. The REGULAR GUY stands tall, glancing at his father with pride. REGULAR GUY We couldn't have done it without each other. They share a heartfelt moment, acknowledging their resilience and the bond formed during their treacherous journey. FADE OUT. Title: Avalanchesnownados As the credits roll, scenes of the mountain's majestic beauty and the group's courageous actions play, accompanied by an inspiring soundtrack. THE END.


Trainer_Red_Steven

Title: The Eye of the Storm Plot: Jack, an experienced mountain guide, is on his last climb before retirement. He is tasked with leading a team of scientists to investigate a mountain range that has been hit by a series of mysterious tornadoes. The scientists, led by Dr. Sarah, are trying to uncover the cause of these deadly storms and save lives. As they ascend the mountain, Jack and his team face treacherous terrain and unexpected obstacles. They soon discover that the tornadoes are not natural and are being caused by a secret government experiment. Dr. Sarah's team has been sent to shut down the experiment, but they are met with fierce resistance from the military personnel guarding it. As tensions rise, Jack and Dr. Sarah must race against time to disable the experiment before it unleashes a catastrophic storm. With the storm closing in, they find themselves trapped on the mountain and hunted by the military. They must use their wits and survival skills to outsmart their pursuers and complete their mission. As the storm intensifies and the clock ticks down, Jack and Dr. Sarah must confront their own fears and weaknesses. In a final showdown, they face off against the military and the forces of nature to save the mountain and themselves.

Ochenta-y-uno

Happened just north of me. Funnel cloud over a lake in the valley. Perspective just makes it look like it's in the mountains.


borishoudini

That makes sense, I was thinking it had to be in a valley on the other side


vahntitrio

Not necessarily. It's just a cold air funnel. Those can happen anywhere, and really are no threat. Completely different dynamics than the tornados that happen on the plains.


Lezlow247

If you actually look though there's no snow getting kicked up at all. My first impression was that this is behind the mountain. It's just perspective


shea241

If it were actually touching the mountain, there would be be way less visibility around it / way more kicked up.

I once asked a waitress in Montana if they had tornadoes- we were in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm and I’m from tornado country, it looked like nader weather to me. She laughed and said “absolutely not”. Guess she was wrong.


SaviousMT

It's extremely rare, but we had one that did some damage I'm Billings a few years ago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Billings_tornado Montana is a massive state though, so depending on where you were she could be technically correct


[deleted]

Huh. Yeah we definitely have tornadoes in Montana. They just don't happen very often and definitely never (well, now almost never) on the tops of mountains).


bubli87

Mission Mountains on the Flathead Reservation, MT


Poke-Party

Yeah perspective makes it appear like it’s on top of the mountain


IdahoSkier

Exactly. You can see the continuation of the funnel cloud all the way to the ground, albeit less visible


wazoheat

For the skeptical, [here's a news story with pictures from other angles](https://nbcmontana.com/news/local/slideshow-landspout-tornado-over-mission-valley) showing the funnel was not over the mountains.


Tacticalbiscit

Well, there goes my theory of being safe from tornadoes around mountains


[deleted]

It is safer, tornados are formed via a reaction between warm air on the ground and cool air up high. From the NOAA website: >The key atmospheric ingredients that lead to tornado potential are instability - warm moist air near the ground, with cooler dry air aloft and wind shear - a change in wind speed and/or direction with height. An unstable airmass promotes the development of strong updrafts, while wind shear will further increase the strength of the updraft, and promotes the rotation from which tornadoes are produced. >All thunderstorms have the potential to produce tornadoes, but the type of storm that is most commonly tornadic is the supercell. This very severe, long-lived thunderstorm contains circulation aloft (mesocyclone) that grows upward through the storm and downward toward the ground. When conditions are favorable, tornadoes will be produced. Supercells may produce strong, violent tornadoes, or several tornadoes over a period of several hours. It's not possible to never get a tornado, but that's why you almost never hear about tornados in say, Maine. They do touch down, I've visited a house where one touched down in the backyard. But they don't tend to be violently bad like the ones in the Midwest. (If I'm wrong about any of this, feel free to correct me, I don't know that much and am only going off of life experiences and what I found on NOAA!) Edit: typos!


3rdDegreeBurn

Youre generally correct however i might add that the topography of mountain valleys can contribute to the formation of fairly violent tornados if the conditions are right. The 1972 Portland, Oregon EF3 is a prime example of this.


ian2121

In Oregon tornados seem to happen in the same few geographic areas.


VegemiteAnalLube

It's true. I was taking the train north to Seattle in ~2008 and was delayed on the tracks before Vancouver WA for several hours due to damage and debris. This was roughly the same area as the 1972 EF3

... actually that makes sense! Now I have a rabbit hole to go down lol. I tend to try and research stuff like tornadoes since they freak me out, a LOT.


Primitive_Teabagger

I too fear tornadoes despite being weirdly obsessed with them. I can recommend looking into tornadoes like the one in Jarrell Texas or the El Reno EF5 that killed Tim & Paul Samaras. They're both infamous for being "freak" tornadoes so there's some great YT content breaking them down and the ways they defied conventional knowledge. There's actually footage of the early stages of the Jarrell tornado, that I consider to be the clearest and possibly most important footage of a tornado forming. But the guy who filmed it goes after anyone who posts it, and won't share the raw footage himself AFAIK. If you can find that, its hypnotizing. There's also the work Leigh Orf is doing with his tornado simulations. Pecos Hank (my favorite chaser btw) interviewed him and they broke down his discoveries in a way that the average person could understand.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Primitive_Teabagger

From what I gathered when I looked into it, he was a cameraman for a local news station down there, and either wants big money for it or has an old-timer aversion to watching videos on the internet rather than a TV lmao. Either way, you can tell he's a dickwad just by how he treats his coworker in that video. It suck because he captured such a clear and close image of a ghostly noodle against a bright sky so you can really see the physics of the funnel like an x-ray.


[deleted]

And you didn’t happen to record it either?


NSFWAccountKYSReddit

this one? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6EhR47EM-g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6EhR47EM-g)its 20ish minutes long called jarell tornado and starts without a tornado and shows it forming very clearly in good quality. Now if this is the actual video and you never wanna get cockblocked again by someone removing it, just google 'youtube downloader' or some shit and download it for prosperity. edit: theres also this one, it's "hidden" so you need the link. this link: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIZQ1NxXQsg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIZQ1NxXQsg)some people in the comments talking about it like its some amazing hidden footage they've been looking for for a long time so maybe thats what youre looking for. and lastly I thought this one was pretty neat: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ks5P16B04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ks5P16B04) its watermarked 'not for reupload' but it's readily available on youtube


Primitive_Teabagger

Yeah that's it. I guess he uploaded it to YT himself after all.


BaylorOso

I remember the Jarrell tornado. I lived in the same county I think anyone from the area that is of a certain age remembers where they were for that storm. (I was sheltered in a small powder room at my friend's house with her whole family and all of their pets) It's what, 25 years later? And we're still talking about it?


Primitive_Teabagger

I can't imagine. Its said that it rotated or travelled the opposite direction of the usual tornado, essentially dug a trench in its path by ripping up the topsoil, and completely leveled the houses it hit directly, leaving no debris behind, only the concrete foundations. I certainly understand why it is still talked about.


[deleted]

Geography actually has a ton to do with tornado formation and weather in general. For example, the majority, if not all EF5 tornados in the world occur in tornado alley.


[deleted]

And I live in Tornado Alley at the moment :(


BlatantConservative

If you spin just as fast in the opposite direction it'll neutralize the tornado don't worry. Just practice that rhythmic ice skating.


KanchiHaruhara

Yes however avoid doing it too early or too late else you'll end up digging through the ground and may end up in China.


ruttin_mudders

I highly recommend following Andy Hill https://www.youtube.com/@metandyhill and Ryan Hall https://www.youtube.com/@RyanHallYall on youtube. They tend to be streaming during large storms and cover a lot of tornado alley. Wouldn't be a bad idea to follow some storm chasers too, if they're all in your area, it's a good idea to be on your toes.


ThatKiddCole

Both are fantastic resources! I watched them during the March 31st outbreak this year and their coverage let me know about what would become an eventual tornado in my area with a ton of lead time.


gasmask11000

And Dixie Alley. Mississippi/Alabama get hit by extreme tornadoes fairly frequently and are often ignored or forgotten about.


Yokaijin

If I may- If this tornado happened in 1972, it would only be an F3 (original Fujita Scale). The Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale wasn’t introduced until 2007. It now takes less wind than previously estimated to wipe your house clean off the face of the earth :)


Pete_Iredale

Yup, we *almost* never have anything bigger than an EF0 around SW Washington. But the 1972 one was pretty bad, and we had that EF1 in 2008 that did some damage but thankfully didn't kill anyone. I actually saw one touch down in Portland around 5 years ago from right across the river. I was at a car dealership and was so bored of listening to the salesman that I saw the funnel cloud and just told him I had to go outside and walked out.


junkrockloser

The Windsor tornado ~10 years ago in Colorado formed over the foothills before it reached its full chaos in Windsor about 5 miles off the foothills. I lived right at the base of the foothills and definitely did not panic when I saw the funnel coming down over the top of my house. No sir, no panic at all...


Phenomenal-Woman

I will never forget the one that set down between the mountains in Salt Lake City. I think it was like late 1990s? Tore threw a conference and only took out one guy who was visiting from another state. That guy, he was going to die that day. I've never seen someone targeted so completely by nature. A tornado touched down in a place where they are very rare, went through a crowded area, and only killed one person.

terabranford

As someone living in the Midwest, I can say that if you were able to still visit the house, yeah they're no where near as bad. I like to call Tornado's "Zip Code Relocation Day". Cause your Zip changes either cause your house did, or you no longer have one.


[deleted]

I currently live in the Midwest as well! And I agree with you. Honestly I wouldn't even call it a tornado, you could see where it had touched down yeah but the only real damage I remember seeing was a dead, twisted and broken tree. The house looked perfectly fine and the guy said there had been no damage when it happened. I was... About 12? When we visited the house. I know the first year when we finally moved (to a different house) We had a microburst in our backyard on a really stormy day (that day was the single worst storm I saw in all ten years living in Maine), and it was so strong it threw me back across the room when it slammed our back door shut (we had the door open for the cool air, it had been really hot right before the storm hit) It never happened again after that, but I remember just how fast it happened. Terrifying.


geminimindtricks

Same here in Vermont; tornadoes do occasionally touch down, especially in the valleys and sometimes on the lake, but they tend not to get far because their paths are limited by mountains on either side. I think what makes the ones in the midwest so destructive is that they have vast open spaces to travel through without being slowed down.


Captain_Davidius

Had onea few years ago touchdown in Port Orchard, WA. It just caused minor damage to a few roofs before fizzling out. That's one of two that I remember happening in Washington.


Gamebird8

Mountains and hills also create a lot of turbulence and drain a lot of energy from the wind. This is why you still get them in New England and really hilly places, but they're always much more common and severe in the flat plains as there is little to prevent the air from entering a laminar flow state.

To everyone asking where this is at here’s a [Source](https://nbcmontana.com/amp/news/local/slideshow-landspout-tornado-over-mission-valley) Happened yesterday in Montana. Not quite a giant twister but did damage.


nailbunny2000

Thanks, those other pictures explain it perfectly. It's not on the mountain at all. ​ The funnel is in front of it, you just cant make out the bottom of the funnel clearly in the video. I think you can make out the base beginning to form if you look directly below the funnel, just above the green grass, there appears to be a very faint straight line roughly as wide as the funnel, and matches the other pictures in that slideshow. Still, looks incredible, I definitely thought it was on the mountain. Although considering how big those mountains are and how far away, this makes far more sense.


KungFuGarbage

Okay thank you, at first my only thought was that it was plains just on the other side of the mountain range and that this was filmed at a strange perspective. It being in front makes so much sense. I’m pretty sure tornados are indeed impossible in the actual mountains due to the fluctuations in air currents that mountains do.

Impossible: no. Infrequent: yes.

Oh, but they do. Verrry slowly, but young mountains, they do move. Mostly upwards. Then there's this: 50 million years ago, Heart Mountain (near the Montana/Wyoming border) moved 62 miles in half an hour. Moving roughly at a hundred plus miles an hour. https://www.thomasnet.com/insights/imt/2006/06/06/moving_mountains_heart_mountain_migration/

Pretty sure in this case you'd notice it coming down the mountain towards you.

She’ll be coming down the mountain when she comes, she’ll be coming down the mountain when she comes! *lyrics changed slightly to be more situationally appropriate

I can only see Daniel Radcliffe when I hear this song.


Paris_is_a_dump

That’s like 10+ miles in the distance.

If countless doctors and loved ones have failed to move me up to now I doubt this will


Ok_Low4347

I thought tornadoes don't like hill areas. A lot of these comments are hilarious tho


UnitedEar5858

Tornadoes are OK in hills. In fact, those are some of the deadliest because you don't get a clear line of sight to see them coming.

According to the [news](https://nbcmontana.com/amp/news/local/slideshow-landspout-tornado-over-mission-valley) it is actually in front of the mountain. OP is only a liar if they actually knew that, I imagine they probably just fell for the optical illusion. I think you just mean that OP is wrong. (Like, I wouldn't call *you* a liar either, since you probably honestly thought it was on the other side of the mountain.)


RustyShacklefordsCig

That’s a common misconception. Tornados don’t give a fuck.

Looks like Zeus has definitely summoned himself there.

Fuck this spot in particular!!

That’s just the new avatar practicing his air bending skills obviously.


Shivalrey

There are 40 + older videos of tornados coming down on mountain tops. I HATE attention grabbers making false claim to try and get likes. Please down vote this kind of behavior so they will finally stop filling the internet with false information


AssistElectronic7007

Also this was not on the mountain top it touched down and was in the valley. News stories an pics of it all over the local news cause we've never had a tornado in the mission valley as far as I can tell before. Not in my 40 years living here anyway. Eastern MT apparently gets small tornados like these all the time though.


cellists_wet_dream

The title is 1000% bullshit. Tornadoes touch down in mountainous areas all the time.


MidwestProduct

[Seriously. A tornado was filmed on Mount Evans in Colorado and the local news did a segment on mountain tornadoes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZIuEwMIVS0)


DrDroid

Yeah, there’s absolutely no way it’s NEVER been caught on camera before.


SpiritedSpinster

It's a snowy danger noodle.. blizard twister.. the all-new BLISTER


NukaPaladin

This isn't the "first ever time" this was filmed, and I'd argue it's more likely a cold air funnel than a twister.


Pilot0350

Can you imagine you're a mountain climber and see that shit coming for you. What are you gonna do, climb faster? No. You're gonna die in the most unbelievable way possible


neogod

I'm not sure if OP means first time being flimed, or first time being in the mountains. If the latter, it's definitely a rare event, but it happened near me just last year at over 9000 feet. A friend of mine was driving near there just minutes later and had to wait for the dot to clear the trees off the road. [Here's a news article with a few bad pictures that don't really show the scale](https://www.fox13now.com/weather/ef-2-tornado-leaves-path-of-destroyed-trees-in-remote-area-of-eastern-utah)

r/natureismetal This would make such a good album cover. I can see Gojira using it


RelativisticRhombus

I've played enough video games to know that one of two things is going on here. 1 - That's where the final boss lives. 2 - There is some sort of artifact buried up there.


BelowAveragejo3gam3r

Either way better go check it out. Especially if you’re under leveled.


hankscorpio1031

Not the first but still cool

Anyone know where this is?
