Post videos of people dying - Self explanatory really

You need to break a window with the headrest

In my mind this video alone justifies the existence of this thread. When I first saw it, I took a look at my car and immediately imported window breakers for all of my family and friends.

I've had one for years.

The only thing stopping me from having one of those window breakers permanently on my keyring is the fact I can't get it through security at work, and I don't trust myself to remember where it is if I do in fact need it.

That was the fastest two minutes of my life.

There are versions you can clip to your seatbelt.

I was going to buy one of those fancy windows smasher things but I decided it would be a much smarter idea to just not drive into a body of water.

I fucked up, it turns out the cameraman didn't even die (though his wife and neighbour did). He was 85 years old and somehow survived this with "just" a back injury. I kept wondering how he remained so stoic and resigned to his fate, I guess he was just old enough to not mind it that much.

Even without the death it's ominous as fuck, watching a wall of hurt slowly approach you as the wind howls ever louder. Then you're hit with the sudden Sopranos ending

This still remains one of the most horrifying videos of a tornado ever.

For added context, this particular tornado was the 2015 Rochelle–Fairdale tornado, It had winds of about 200 miles, and was rated an high-end EF4, the man recording was named Clem Schultz, he survived but his wife died. He was on the second floor when he recorded this video, how he managed to stand his ground and survive is beyond me.

I live in tornado alley, have seen them up close, and have had a friend die from one. You will never forget the sound. Even videos don't do it justice.

The scariest tornado ever was the Jarrell tornado because of how it behaved. It blew up to F5 within 15 minutes and parked itself right on top of a housing development for three minutes and ground it into rubble. As soon as it moved on from the development, it dissipated.

Just look at how it stops moving completely in that second vid.

TIL it's supposedly very difficult to open a car door once partially submerged. You need to break a window with the headrest, or wait for the cabin to mostly fill with water at which point the door will become easier to open. Personally, fuck that second option.

Crazy thing is the dude recording that actually survived. His wife actually sheltering downstairs did not unfortunately

Agreed. Much as I would like to chase one and see it from a safe distance, would not wanna live in tornado alley. I'll never forget the one time I was in tornadic weather and the sky was dark green.

That's actually one of my favorite times to be outside. When the light goes all funny and you can smell the electricity and ozone building in the air and you just wait for the release.

Slight PL.

I lived in Round Rock during the time this went down. Even though Jarrell is about 30 miles away, you could look up into the sky and clearly see everything. I remember the air being very eerily still around me and then suddenly hail started falling from the sky.

I recall 20 or so people being killed in that tornado, but is it fucked up for me to say how awesome nature is? I’ve never seen anything like that.

Or, you know, you could open the sunroof and go out that way

Tornadoes are so unpredictable as far as how fast they go and where they go. I don't get why people even take chances with them.

Wisconsin gets dozens of tornadoes a year and I grew up right next to a tornado siren that went off every Wednesday at noon as a test and scared the crap out of me. The closest I was to a tornado was one touching down 2 miles from my house. All I remember is that the sky was green.

As someone who has now lived on 3 different continents, it's always fascinating how much tornadoes are specifically an American thing. We have 1,200 per year while the #2 most tornado country is giant Canada which only has 230 a year. #3 after them is even bigger Russia with 125. I guess the beautiful plains of the Midwest which feed the world also come with a cost.

Ive experienced a strong tornado exactly once in my life and I can attest to the same thing. Dead quiet followed by a thunderous roar that you feel as much as you hear. The freight train description doesn't even come close and the noise stays in your nightmares for months.

That's something nostalgic I miss. They'd go off in the middle of a perfectly clear day and there would be this momentary panic where you think "Oh shit, did the Russians let the nukes fly?" and then you realize it's just the first Wednesday of the month and they're testing them.

 

[Misogenes]

I was visiting in-laws in a new state and we had a tornado warning test go off in the middle of the day. Eerie stuff, especially if you don't know if it's a routine thing or an actual no-shit "tornado is here" event.

Haven't lived through a tornado personally, just the occasional dust devil. Did experience two hurricanes, but was lucky and the worst that happened was we didn't have power for a few days. Husband has seen three, however, with one being Katrina.

The reason it was so deadly is that a lot of people weren’t prepared because they didn’t think Central Texas could get tornadoes and that Tornado Alley doesn’t go that far south. Also, since a lot of houses in Texas don’t have basements, so most people don’t know where to go, or don’t know that they should stay in a downstairs closet when a tornado hits.

No amount of prep is saving you from this. First responders couldn't tell the difference between human remains and the remains of a herd of cows that got hit.
