Wanted to point out a couple of mistakes in this video haha! No big errors, but I've been getting a few comments over some editing issues so I wanted to clear the air.
It says on screen "April 22" when I meant April 27th! Just a mis-type!
I also accidentally say El Reno, Texas instead of Oklahoma. (I think all the audio takes talking about Texas got to me LOL!)
Yes.. I know I said Lubbock like an idiot

In retrospect, I should have included Tri-State 1925. I didn't, because in my research the tornado is rarely regarded as an F5, but rather just a catastrophic twister. I didn't want to misrepresent anything, as I saw a lack of damage indicating F5 strength.

Sorry if the issues hurt the viewing experience, it was a very long video with a lot of research, so I was bound to make some mistakes, but nothing in bad faith!

Tennessee's "forgotten F5" was forgotten because it hit a very rural area, and Nashville was hit by a less intense tornado that same day.

The Joplin tornado was the first tornado since the Flint tornado of 1953 to kill more than 100 people in an urban setting.

You’re gonna have to update this video bestie, the EF5 drought is over 😅

Everyone Breaking News:

NWS National Weather Service has confirmed the very first EF-5 tornado in Enderlin, North Dakota, being the first one in 12 years. The EF-5 drought is over.

Randomly was recommended this video. Was curious if you'd talk about the Xena, OH tornado.

My grandmother and her three kids (my mom and 2 aunts) lived there when that tornado happened. My grandmother had been raised in California, and she actually had NO idea what a tornado was. (She moved to Ohio cause her husband was from there.) He was at work when the warning signals happened. She told me the story about how the neighbor came banging on her door to get into cover. But she didn't get to speak with him because he ran off.

So, in my grandmother's INTENSE wisdom, decided to load up the car with all 3 kids, and drive to meet up with my grandpa.

The direction? Directly towards the tornado's path. She believed it was a fire. Her oldest, my oldest aunt, realizing what was happening, told her to STOP. So they slammed on the brakes in the middle of the road with the tornado barreling towards them. I've never actually delved into whether this part is recorded or not, but they all swear the tornado turned and headed away from them. They almost died and I almost didn't exist.

Figured it'd be fun to slap a story like this in a comment section for a video like this. Her oldest two (my mother and eldest aunt) have passed away, and her youngest was much too young to remember the story, while my grandmother has dementia. So just me and my sister have this story to tell. May as well be fun to share it.

Actually Fun Fact The official Number of F5/EF5 is 59 but the actual total in us History is widely accepted by tornado historians and experts to be around 80-85. the First F5 in Us History is widely acknowledged to be the 1883 Rochester, Minnesota Tornado which is what led to the founding of the Mayo Clinic

I would love it if a historical book was published on the history of F5s and EF5s, full of photographs and then get made into a documentary series.

Not sure how you completely overlooked the 1925 tri-state tornado. The deadliest tornado in US history

10:00 - as dated a picture if there ever was, a man smoking from his hospital bed LOL

I've been to Joplin this past year, you could still make out the area where the tornado happened, There's less buildings, a general feeling of sorrow and a memorial near the high school

No matter how much I watch or read about Jarrell, it always gives me chills.

I was one of the first responders to the Jarrel TX tornado.  It actually formed in my front yard as a small rope tornado not much bigger than a dust devil. It then traveled south for about 60 miles and became a monster.

The Smithville tornado and the El Reno-Piedmont tornado are probably the two strongest tornadoes of this video. Along with the damage mentioned in this video, the Smithville tornado ripped pockets of concrete out of house foundations, dislodged foundations, ripped plumbing out of foundations, ripped a drainage pipe out of the ground, and, possibly its worst damage, turned an extremely well built brick funeral home into a paste, and sandblasted the forest with the remains. The El Reno-Piedmont tornado is even more insane than what you mentioned. Right before it hit the 1.9 million pound oil derrick, a mobile doppler radar truck recorded windspeeds of 295mph, the third highest winds ever recorded. And not only did it roll the 1.9 million pound oil derrick, it rolled it 3 times. It also lofted debris 40k feet into the air, which I believe is the highest debris has ever been lifted into the air. There is a possibility that Woldegk, the first F5 mentioned, lofted debris higher, as debris was found coated in ice, hinting that it threw debris into the stratosphere. This is most likely unreliable though, because damage surveys didn't take place until multiple years later.

So wait, question. In this video. You said Germany in 1764 experienced the first F5 tornado ever. That's by recorded history, right? Because surely there were powerful F5s WAY back when before we started reporting them in our history books. Right?

@11:25, thats the tornado that is painted on Beltzers van in Twister! Thats so cool didnt even know it was an actual mural of a real one.

The Brandenburg tornado occured before the Xenia tornado.  Ted Fugita actually initially gave Xenia an F6 rating, only the second one that he gave an F6 ranking to. The first being Lubbock 1970, before he decided F6 inconceivable. The Xenia tornado had the most deaths, 36, of all of the tornadoes in the 1974 Super Outbreak

No sub begging, no "only x % of my viewers are subbed", no clickbait thumbnail, no over editing or zomg manner of speaking. Just facts and videos, channels like yours need to blow up! Happily subbed.

One of my teachers in school was the wife of the late Spencer Black. Former head of Limestone county EMA where tanner is located. He was new and untested being at the job less than 6 months when the 74 outbreak occured. He took what resources made available to him and soldiered through making today the model for many cities their severe weather preparedness plan. He talked to us several times during my school years and ignited my interest in weather.

I believe that the NWS relies too much on damage to rate tornadoes at times, because there’s no world where the 2013 el Reno tornado is not an F5 just due to lack of damage indicators it was an F3 with possibly over 300mph winds and being the widest ever recorded tornado. I feel part of it is fear that people will scrutinize the local governments for how it’s dealt with and a lower rating doesn’t raise any interest. Because there’s been so many strong tornadoes since 2013
