I can’t imagine early humans 10,000 years ago seeing a total eclipse, violent tornadoes up close and an aurora all in one year. I’d probably start a religion too tbh

Was watching @Basehunters video of the Katie/Wynnewood tornado on 5/9/16 and noticed something pretty amazing. Watch the center of the screen between 1-2 seconds into the video... a tree being flung probably >100mph shears off the top of another tree. Ridiculously violent tornado

I’ve chased tornadoes for almost 25 years. And in that time, only one has ever chased me. It was, of course, the El Reno, OK tornado of 5/31/13. It was 2.6 miles at its widest, had winds > 300 mph, and moved faster than 50 mph. For the first time, here is my full story: 1/25

Reminder: using damage assessments to rate tornadoes is outdated and strange. I understand it’s a legacy way of doing things, but mobile radar and photogrammetry are not being accounted for. We should be using all available data to accurately rate and understand tornadoes

Theoretically all tornadoes form from the recycled air of the earth. So, supercells from 500 years ago are the supercells of today. Meaning, every tornado is part of the same supercell. There is only 1 tornado, and apparently we’ve all seen it

Genuinely and respectfully, if this happens to you, it’s time to hang it up. There are 1,000+ decisions when chasing that put you close to a tornado. If the large majority of those decisions get you to this point, then you need to question your decision making.
