F5 Oklahoma Tornado May 3rd, 1999

you problay wouldent like it if one of us made fun of your dead family

Wow that was incredible footage!

Nice video even though it was next to the speaker a little I like tornadoes I am goind to be a tornado chaser and this is a good video

Well shut up!

for one your an idiot yes there have been many f5's on land and 2 dont be such an ass the man lost some of his family so dont be a dick

You dumb dude, this is actually an F6 with all its damage and the fastest windspeed ever recorded. It shatters all previous F5 records.

i remember lighting my fart on fire near the tornado it was firey

I been in that tornado. I was 36 years old. ITS WAS HUGE!!!

Yeah there HAVE!!!

oh how sad.

Hey Professor, what's spinnin buddy? :)

I believe F0 - F12 was Ted Fujita's original scale based on mathematical calculations as you say, but the likelihood of a tornado going above the F5/F6? rating, would be an extremely rare event, hence why it was shortened to F5, but with F6 being "Inconcievable".

I think that the new scale is simialr to the Torro Scale here in the UK, which is based T0 - T10

i remember mixing fear and fascination when I saw this tornado forming outside the city. my house was completely destroyed and i lost a cousin and his parents in this tornado so fuck you bonefesto "theres no F5 ever" my family suffered the biggest loss one person can take

My teacher was living a couples of miles from that area, she's pretty lucky. Unfortunately, a volleyball student that my teacher was coaching got hit pretty bad. She had tons of stitches on her upper leg =[

318 mph=512 kmp.
This is the strongest wind on earth.
The fastest wind in solar system:120.000/mph
Recorded on Jupiter in a Great Red Spot.

I lived near Lexington then, the sky was purple and red that day. When the live feeds came in from the news, a transformer would blow, seconds later my lights flashed. One reason why I think alot were prepared that day was not only from the NWS but from the feeling in the air. If you feel uncomfortable with weather events,always know where the nearest shelter is.

it is far fetched.f-12 was only a theoretical mathematical level using Dr. Fujita's formula where Velocity = 141(F+2)1.5mph = 6.30(F+2)1.5 m/s. It's 738mph at -3c, or Mach 1. So no, it can never happen (outside a nuclear explosion)

you study them but don't know what the F scale means ? The F scale rating is based SOLEY on damage. The wind speeds are an educated ESTIMATE in 99.9 % of all tornados. The only way to get an accurate, and that's only +/- 20mph is with a Doppler On Wheels. The F scale is a DAMAGE scale, period.

F-12? That's a little far fetched, isn't it?

i remember seeing that tornadoe when i lived in oklahoma i was nine yrs old. it was sad my ant lost two dogs in that tornadoe. i think i still well my ant still has some pics that she took of it. i still have nightmares of this tornadoe too.

I lived in moore during that day, the tornado didn't hit my house but about 2 miles away it ripped apart the area.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT 318 mph

I am not moving to Oklahoma after i saw this i am still having nightmares of being sucked into that tornado

ye i lived in south oklahoma city when that tornado happened, i think i was like 12-13 it was scary, luckily it didnt hit me, but after that,my ass moved to the north side haha btw moore is 5 miles south of oklahoma city

THEM NIGGAS HAVE BALLS
