Brandon Sampson and Jeremy Wilson for Holy Tornado went out on March 8 2010 on almost no setup at all and captured some nice footage of the Hammon Ok tornado as it stayed on the ground for ever it seemed. Briefly afterwards the same storm spawned another smaller twister that we also got great video of as it almost passed right over us had it stayed in contact with the ground!!!!

What kind of storm is this.. It looks like a tornado to me. But I found it under hurricane pictures. Doesnt look like a hurricane to me. What do yall think?

On April 22 2010, Holy Tornado captured some insanely close tornado footage on the outskirts of Goodnight Texas. The night before we had been playing some pool with a guy named Russel. He became really interested once he had discovered what we were in town doing. He talked us into letting him ride along for the days price of fuel consumption. We then decided to turn it into a full severe weather tour by teaching him the whole nine yards of how a supercell worked.Russ got to witness everything first hand from the birth of our storm all the way through tornadogenesis and on to dissipation. Needless to say, we were all in for one huge adrenaline rush!!!!

This is video scrapbook to the damage that was done to my parent’s house caused by the May 22 tornado.

Storm chasers Dick McGowan and Andy Gabrielson document two “rope” tornadoes near Neligh and Ewing Nebraska, August 19 2011! These storms also produced destructive hail in the Omaha and Kansas City region! Check out www.livehailmap.com or http for more information!

I heard there was a website to help find personal photos and things that other people have found. GMA was just talking about it, but I missed the website! Please tell me!

The backseat passenger was in a scenario that was a bit sketchy and life threatening, therefore his language was loosely restrained. We edited and made the video shorter so you can jump right into the action and is appropriate for all ages.

The Conservative, right-wing town of Joplin was enamored with Obama’s swift arrival on the ground to get his hands dirty, and his swift federal aid assistance while FEMA was immediately rescuing survivors.

Bush was hated when he was on the ground touring parts of New Orl… oh that’s right, Bush never was on the ground in New Orleans. He spent the first 2 days after Katrina hit on vacation at Crawford Ranch, then finally flew over New Orleans for a photo-op, then landed at the airport to say "you’re doing a heckuva job, Brownie" as thousands of New Orleans resident were stranded on their rooftops with no rescue operations in sight.

On June 20, 2011, storm chasers Chad Cowan and Jordan Wrecke watched the storm of the day develop from a cumulus cloud into a cyclic supercell that produced at least three tornadoes, including one that was intercepted by the TIV!

Recently in my town there was a tornado that did a lot of damage to my neighborhood. My garage was destroyed, and it and some other debris smashed my car entirely. It was the talk of the small town, and everyone was riding by taking pictures. The first night I was trying to get something out of my car and a reporter tried snapping photos of me. I asked him to not put my picture because I was still very upset about what had happened. He said that he wouldnt. Well, the next two days I made the front page of the paper with the picture he took. Is that illegal? I know there is freedom of press, but I specifically asked him not to…….

I’m posting question on Yahoo Answers’ government category because I know that this category is seeing by many informed people who also care about whats going on in our country and also because if I post on "health" I could probably get no answers based on fact that most people go there mostly to find answers to their health conditions mainly because they say they don’t have health care and cannot go to doctors! I don’t post on science because experts and "scientific minds" will tell me that everything is under control and that science is always a process and that it takes years to develop this and that.

I certainly WILL NOT post on news and journalism because many are only interested in the latest news about Justin Bieber, other celebrities or worse yet about horrific and unexplained behavior from many including "inappropriate photos" been sent by elected officials!

Reason I ask this this way is because each passing day even though science is trumpeted as having made gigantic advances–which it has–we hear about bacteria, viruses, and other things which science already knows about but seems to take no interest in eradicating the diseases and illnesses developed by those bacteria, etc.

Regarding government, and PLEASE, this cannot be blamed on the bad economy, officials don’t seem to be on top of things as only a few years ago. I perfectly remember only six or so years ago in which there were news conferences by doctors, CDC and other government agencies, by local and state health and government officials any and every time there was something going on which could ber harmful to citizens. One such example is the West Nile virus in which for at least a few seasons many in public office would come on TV to warn people, explain symptoms and tell what to do. We would know in Florida if this was going on in New York or in any other state and I’m sure other states knew as well.

I hope Missouri health and government officials are warning the public there–and maybe they are. But, I get a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever I remember that Joplin Tornado happening on Sunday and still not seeing any search and rescue activity till Tuesday!

So what’s going on? Is it science? Is it government? Or is it the American media who appears to give priority to every single thing going on around the globe but dedicates less and less coverage to our country?

Follow us on twitter.com and www.facebook.com One victim was killed by a destructive twister as it swept through Russia’s Far East. 28 others were injured by the huge whirlwind, a natural phenomenon considered rare, not only for the region, but for the whole country. The tornado tore through the center of Blagoveshchensk, tearing roof-tops and balconies from over a hundred buildings, overturning trucks, uprooting trees and ripping out power lines. It raged only for several minutes but eyewitness reported that it caused incredible damage. Most roads have now been cleared, but hundreds of homes are still without electricity.

I’m posting this here knowing that you all love animals. Hanah is a Joplin tornado survivor. As the storm bore down of the home of Kari Wilkes she took shelter in a closet with her dogs Bear and Hanah. The tornado approached and ripped the roof off their home and literally sucked hanah out of her owners arms. The house was completely destroyed… As soon as it was safe Kari began looking for hanah, but with no luck. Two days later a neighbor took a photo of Hanah in the rubble and sent it to Kari. Hanah had made it! The neighbor called the humane society but they arrived too late, hanah had run when sirens came on again. She was spotted once again, one woman even saying she’d fed hanah for three days before she disappeared again. Hanahs owners gave tried everything. Setting out food, their cloths hoping she would come to their scent, stayed over night in tents, set up night vision cameras, had a BBQ hoping to draw her out of hiding, hired a pet detective, had many ‘animal communicator’ readings, distributed thousands upon thousands of flyers and yet hansh is still missing. It’s been two months and her family is not giving up, it breaks their heart knowing hanah is alive but they can’t get to her. All I ask is that you visit her Facebook page and take a look st her photos, share her story and keep your eyes out for her, especially if you live near Missouri. Hanah could be ANYWHERE in the US now. Hundreds of rescuse came in to assist after the tornado, and unfortunately there is no real record of them. Hanah is a solid white American bulldog, she’s got one blue eye and one hazel eye. She is 5 years old and spayed with severe hip dysplaysia. There is a HUGE reward for her, or any tip that leads to her return. You may remain completed anonymous! Please visit her Facebook page and share! You might just be the key to reuniting this family who’s so torn apart! http://m.facebook.com/BringHanahHome?_rdr

On May 22, 2011 a highly destructive and deadly tornado tore through the town of Joplin, MO. Here is video of the tornado entering the southwest side of town, filmed by TornadoVideos.net Basehunters team Colt Forney, Isaac Pato, Kevin Rolfs, and Scott Peake. The team spent hours assisting with search and rescue and transporting victims to local hospitals in personal vehicles.

Today is just not my day. My mom left the computer open because she was downloading facebook photos (of course -.-) I needed to use the computer to check some Sims 3 updates on A WHOLE DIFFEREN’T APP. It wasn’t Safari. Then my mom came in and was like OMG I WAS DOWNLOADING FACEBOOK PHOTOS WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM WHERE ARE THEY?!?!?! She was acting like a tornado torn down the house. Anyways i said WITHOUT yelling "mooom stop freaking out its fine" and then she slapped my shoulder really hard as if bricks fell on it, then she started yelling crap ._. Before you say, you should’ve asked ur mom to use the computer, you should’ve left the computer alone, etc I never play around with her stuff or close/log out! And if i need to use Safari i open another tab or window. If you think thats bad my mom X’s the stuff i was doing and then she goes on without asking! For example if im watching videos and i go to the kitchen to make popcorn she would X out and go on facebook -_- this also happens with my brother whenever he fixes a snack he always comes back to find my mom going on facebook. Idk where my mom get this from maybe she’s watching more MTV than me idk. P.s after my mom hit me in the shoulder i went upstairs and cried (im on my period sorry for tmi) and my stomach has been bothering meee

What does the american government do about the destroyed houses due to the tornadoes. Do the government pay for new houses? Or are the americans supposed to pay a tax to the government for natural disasters? Sorry, I’m not american so I cannot really understand how americans get by while they have their houses destroyed. How long does it take to start living normally again?

Personal experiences are welcome =)

Ok, so I was near an airport today taking some photos on the landing aircraft and when an old BA 737-400 had passed over and had landed I many strange noises, where the air sounded as if it been fanned all over the place and sounded like a mini tornado. I believe it is to do with the engines and their circular movement, but perhaps with the wingtips (as can be seen by cold photos)? What is this? Thanks.

A massive tornado that swept through the US state of Missouri on Sunday claimed the lives of at least 89 people in the city of Joplin. Authorities warn that the toll could rise as rescuers continue searching for victims. The twister destroyed homes, churches and businesses, damaging about 30 per cent of the city. The same storm system that produced the Joplin tornado spawned twisters along a broad swath of the Midwest, from Oklahoma to Wisconsin. At least one person was killed in Minneapolis.

the president said he will come back after he is elected, then he skipped 3 visits to the hispanic annual conference. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/57313.html don’t they understand that the president is a very busy man and has no time for them due to the massive workload he has, look at the tornado’s in the midwest, he took 2 weeks to get there to do a photo-op on his way across the nation to play golf. they should be happy he is busy doing the job that he was hired to do.

Initially a weak pencil-like tornado near the Bell-Williamson County line, the funnel rapidly intensified into a 3/4 mile wide multi-vortex storm at around 3:45 PM CDT. Its first damage occurred three minutes later at 3:48 PM CDT in the northwestern portion of Jarrell striking Double Creek Estates. It later moved into a wooded area before dissipating after damaging numerous trees. Grass and soil in fields near Jarrell were ripped out of the ground to a depth of 18 in (46 cm). When the tornado crossed county roads outside Jarrell, it tore a 500-foot (152 m) length of asphalt from the roads. About 40 structures were completely destroyed by the tornado and dozens of vehicles were lifted in the air and tossed, some thrown more than half a mile. Many researchers, after reviewing aerial damage photographs of Double Creek Estates, considered the Jarrell storm to be the most violent tornado, in terms of damage intensity, that they had ever seen. Most of the homes in the tornadoes path were well-constructed and bolted to their foundations, the tornado left only the slab foundations. Several entire families were killed in the tornado, including all five members of the Igo family and all four members of the Moehring family. There were 27 human fatalities in the Double Creek subdivision. In addition, about 300 cattle were killed by the storm. About 10 minutes prior to the main event, eye-witnesses spotted additional tornadoes north and west of Jarrell. Numerous vehicles sought …

PLEASE HELP!!

Monday was a classic storm chasing day in south central Nebraska as multiple tornadoes hit Hamilton and York counties. We have put together this compilation video from several of our StormChasingVideo.com freelance chasers to show the power and the beauty of the violent tornadoes in Nebraska on Monday. In the first part of the video was shot by Meteorologist Brandon Ivey who is with the TIV or Tornado Intercept Vehicle for Discovery Channels TV show “Storm Chasers”. The video shows some extreme close up tornado footage including one scene where a train is hit by the tornado. The tornado then moves across a road about a quarter mile in front of them while picking up and destroying buildings and power lines in its path. The tornado moved off into a farm field as the TIV crew continued to keep with the storm At one minute and thirty six second into the video, it show the footage from Eric Treece who caught the Bradshaw,NE tornado from near the beginning of its life cycle and continued to chase it until it roped-out or dissipated. The footage by Eric Treece shows a classic tornado that is back lit by as it rips up a farm field. At one point it passes right behind a farm but does not destroy the buildings. Eric keeps on chasing the tornado after it passed by his location until it dissipated. Tony Laubach continues the video at the two minute and fifty four second mark of the video with the tornadoes from Pleasanton, NE. Tony’s video starts with amazing up close footage of a …

This is something I’ve been looking for for quite a while now. I lost this book in a hurricane three years ago (lol), and I have forgotten the title.

What I remember about it was this:

It was a small hardback, and was green or turquoise.
It had a section about Last Island, Louisiana, and the hurricane that destroyed it.
It had a photo (black and white) of an ‘invisible’ tornado funnel.
The section on tornadoes was referred to as ‘The Hurricane’s Deadly Little Sister’ or some slight variation of that.

Not a lot of information to go on, but I cannot remember anything else that could be of use.
The closest title I can find is "Historical Catastrophes: Hurricanes and Tornadoes" by Billye Walker Brown and Walter R. Brown. However, I cannot find photos of this book online, nor the table of contents.

Terrifying tornado blasted a four-mile path, killing dozens. For more dramatic video of the Joplin, Missouri Tornado, click here: abcn.ws
