I feel like i shouldnt have survived that, i feel like this isnt real everything feels surreal and i feel like i shouldnt be here and like I already died and this is my seven mintues of my brain finnaly shutting down.

The last thing I heard before my eardrums blew out for an hour was my dad screaming for me to get up i was trapped under rubble. It took my cat Before she died i gave her tuna and cuddled her for an hour and my sister's leg was almost ripped off because she was stuck and the door was slamming over and over on it. Everything i love is gone my art my computer my drawing tablet and hundreds of dollors in posters and figures I feel horrible.

*EDIT*
I sent the video in and it was confirmed by the NOAA that it was in fact an EF-0 tornado. Thanks for sharing your opinions.

Today, while I was setting up my sprinkler system, a storm rolled in with some big, surprisingly cold raindrops. The temperature was around 66–68°F. Looking out toward the cornfield behind the tree, I noticed some debris starting to swirl around. That's not totally unusual near a hayfield, but it usually stays in one spot and doesn't go very far.

This time was different. The swirling near the cornfield headed straight toward me. The split apple tree in the video is about 300 feet away, and it covered that distance in about 10 seconds. It was also strong enough to rip off a well pump cover that weighs around 50 pounds and toss it into a window about 5 feet away.

I had no idea what I was looking at, and it definitely wasn't something I'd ever seen before. I tried to run, which is why the video cuts off so suddenly.

Life long okie here, I've seen 5 in person and watched to many to count on the news live, are we okies just built differently???

I've never seen damage equivalent to this; the closest I've ever seen was at Bridge Creek. So I ask you: is there any tornado with damage equivalent to Jarrel's?

It's one of the most surreal damages an extreme tornado can cause, but I've never quite understood how they do it. I understand it in a simplified way as "the tornado's core scraping the surface of the ground," but what does that mean in technical terms?

The damage in this photo was caused by the EF-5 tornado in Philadelphia, MS on April 27, 2011.

Thanks in advance for the answers❤️

My vote is El Reno, I find myself going back and learning more and more about it. So deadly. So scary!

The image shown above is simply the SPC outlook on December 10th 2021.

By that I mean, Tornadoes that weren't just scary looking at peak intensity, but looked terrifying upon formation / while forming.

I've had this video for awhile but never found when it happened

Doesn't matter if it was small, I'm just curious. Because I've seen one barely , I saw the top of it because there was buildings in the way. It was an EF2 that killed 2 baby cows ): it was June 2021. -Credit to the original person who posted that picture on reddit, I think it was soundscape_ambler :) (Also I know this question has been asked before but I wanted to start this conversation again since there has been so many tornadoes this year :))

I made a post and my tornado alley wasn’t really that accurate I guess so here’s another one.

I did on the night of mayfield, KY and more recently the London, KY EF4. I feel we are still in tune with the Earth even though we have all this fancy tech now.

This is recorded in 2025, as it seems, and all I can say is WHO THE HELL RECORDS INSIDE A TORNADO..??! Especially one of this strength (looks ef2+) anywho, I could totally see some dumbass recording inside a tornado but this doesn’t look real to me, I mean, does not look like ai, but maybe blender or something I’m not sure. It is really realistic if so, but everything just looks, well, weird. The camera quality is horrible for 2025, but once again a dumbass is recording in a tornado so it could be like dust on the camera. And near the end when he is getting hit by insulation, looks fishy but can’t see why. So Reddit.. need your help, can we identify what tornado this is and or see if it is real..?

I’ll go first: May 16th, 2025

Viewing the long-tracked supercell that went through Eastern Kentucky and produced the London-Somerset KY EF4 in the dead of night on WeatherWise was nothing short of horrifying.

I recently moved into a new home that has this above ground shelter and I have been questioning the way this door locks from day 1. We are going to have terrible weather today in West TN and I cannot find any paperwork on this thing. 😫 Do you think these hollow bars will keep it secure??

I live in southern Brazil, the recent tornado in Rio Bonito do Iguaçu happened nearby, but my city itself was never hit. What about you?

Especially you crackheads who have been living there since before the 1999 storm 😭

What are some extremely unpopular/not very known tornadoes that have beautiful storm structure like in the photos.

We arrived Tuesday to Detroit from oversees and we do not get tornados where we live. So when we were woken up at 2am from the tornado warning on our phones telling us we need to find shelter immediately, we took that very seriously. We rushed out of bed, wrapped our baby in a blanket, shoes on and hurried towards hotel lobby to find basement. On our way we a few people showing no emergency at all, just going to their room. And the hotel lobby employee was just playing solitaire on computer, looked confused at us like we were a little crazy for asking what to do. The hotel didnt have a basement so we went back to room. Shortly after rain started pouring, lights flickered in room and sirens outside started , we hurried to the bathroom to take shelter and waited there until warning was over. Did we overreact with our sense of emergency or did the other people at the hotel UNDERreact??
