That is just amazing and scary!
i was it that tornado ………….its otis
Google is a seach engine. It’s not the National Weather Service. Regardless, it probably did get up to F-4 before it came into town.
As the title was playing, I was hoping to god that music wouldn’t play, and then that song.. oh that song.. I will watch no more.
That surveillance footage is unbelievable! How have I not seen it before? Great video.
I went to Caruthersville this summer (2008)
i went w/ my middle school youth group!

well i go to FEMA High and it isnt any fun cause even though it was two years ago caruthersville has just now made up their minds on what they are going to do about our school but i am probally going to graduate out of the trailors but thats nothing compared to some kids who have no school so i still appreciate what we have
I used to lived on Ward Ave. across from the school. The house was blown away. God have mercy that this never happens again.

hey i live on Grand Ave. and i saw this tornado when it happened!
I cried when i watched this because I live in Caruthersville and my brother and cousins could have been killed. there was a house right beside knoxs and it fell completely in. there were six people in there two 16 year old boys(1 my bro) one 16 year old girl and one 17 year old girl (both my cousins)and a 3 year old and 9 month old boy (mycousins). the boys had to pick the roof up off of the girls so they could get the kids out and then they had to climb out. i cried fir two days
I lived in East Haven In Caruthersville,
I was home with my 3 1/2 month old and 2 Year old daughter, n my son dad was with us, It took us two hours to get threw the mess, with two crying kids . before it hit the little girl next door was on the porch waiting for her mom to come home from work her sister was in the house just got home from being in a car reck,
I told her honey get it the house its comeing she was a strong 13 year old little girl, she did not cry or nothing, all tho i did, lol
still to this day i cry about that i am scared of bad weather, my daughter remembers that day she talks about it all the time , this is the first time in a little over a year I have watch this video , it was really sad about it is the day this happin my grandmother died,
you are so strong…..and have a wonderful outlook on life. your comment made me cry because there needs to be more people like you. thank you for sharing your comment with us.
How many people live in Caruthersville, Missouri? Anyone die?
Wow Its really hard to watch this even 4 years later. . . i lived on 18th street and during the tornadoe was in a truck on truman just barely out of the storms path. i cried when i saw my house with my mom dad and 2 very young little brothers in a little closet. this tornadoe changed many peoples lives and thanks you God it didnt happen during the night or during school or alot of people wouldnt be here
My grandmother and my father were there when this tornado went through. They were by the old Brown Shoe Factory, where she lived. Caruthersville looks completely different now. It literally destroyed most of the town. My dad took pictures of the tornado and the town afterwards. It was truly devastating.
i was in too …….i lived right behind the high school
Even though they survived? O.o
Also the song ruins the vid, an epic tornado kinda calls for something a lot more ballsy then some gay Creed-style emo whinefest.
We took a fire truck down there from the St Louis area as part of a mutual aide task force. I remember sleeping in a tent across from the Fire station and it was so cold. The destruction was severe and I am sure many had no insurance. I also remember a large building that had cotton in it that was destroyed. A church group fed us well while we were there. I hope that the residents have recovered from that destructive storm.
i’ve gotta admit, still 3 years later, its still hard to think about this. the tornado might not have hit my house, but it got pretty close. i still can’t believe that this happened though. i always heard about tornadoes on the weather channel and stuff like that, but i never thought our town would get hit by one.
i can see why that would be scary. i know exactly which house you’re talking about too.
6,760 according to the 2000 census. but nobody died.
i remember the bus shed had just been finished being built and then it got torn down by the tornado.
I live about a mile or not even that away from the school on Highland ave
It was on a sunday eveing i remember it
