Sorry
Enderlin EF5
1998 Columbus Nebraska tornado
>>6192662Tornadoes scare the crap out of me.It is ironically pouring rain and thunder right now as I post this. My state is leading the nation in tornadoes this year by a good margin. I have been through two tornadoes so far in my life. The worst thing is I have no basement and no place to shelter at home.
>>6192662Incredible that the guy was filming for as long as he did. Cool footage, hopefully he doesn't have brain damage.
This vid is genuinely terrifyingThe sky literally turns pitch black out of nowhere and the truck driver has no idea he is driving into an EF5 tornado that killed 156 people
>>6194095>he is driving into an EF5 tornado that killed 156 peopletornadoes kill that many people?? holy shitnature really fucking hate americans. I thought that Twister movie was exaggerating
>>6193023Bathtub
>>6194095Wow
>>6193018Damn 0.0
>>6194097Tornadoes are rarely deadly, but that one just so happened to be the deadliest in modern US history
>>6194143fair enough. might have to look into that. sounds absolutely insane
Can we eliminate major tornadoes in Tornado Alley? Devastating tornadoes over there start from violent clashes between northbound warm wind and southbound cold wind. If engineers built three east-west great walls, 300 meters high and 50 meters wide, one in North Dakota, one passing Oklahoma and one in Texas, such barriers would weaken such air mass clashes and diminish major tornado threat, according to one expert.
anyone see the tornado that hit china a few days ago, some residents from high rise buildings were sucked out of their apartments.
>>6194097US gets more tornadoes a year than every other country combined. Over 1000 annually.
>>6192662How are Americans so genuinely retarded to not go to the basement/flee when a tornado is coming? Is this some under 80iq thing?
>>6193248>hopefully he doesn't have brain damage.He most definitely does, like any tornado-american.
>>6194241>>6194242>Europoor country filled with niggers from Africa brings up Americans out of nowhere
>>6194243>live in tornado countty>build house out of cardboard>dance around as tornado approaches>go to work after house is destroyed because corporate slavery>world's richest country because GDPkikes told me soIt's beyond shocking to see how stupid Americans are, yeah.
>>6194241Are you expecting the people responsibly sitting in their basements to record videos of it, and for these videos to be considered equally interesting and get proportionally reposted here?
>>6194225Yes, and the local government gives no warning. Also, an 8-billion-dollar dam project failed, thousands of fatalities and missing.
>>6193023God I fucking hate women.
>>6192721SUSAN GET MY PANTS
>>6194156Kek, I don't know what "expert" said that, but weather definitely doesn't work like that. Supercells are caused by the rising warm, moist air interacting with wind shear created by the low level jet (which appears more than a thousand meters above the surface). Such a wall would do nothing to stop storms in Iowa, Missouri or Alabama, all of them get their fair share of tornadoes every year.There exist ways to alter weather, such as cloud seeding, but it's effects are very local. Basically, it's just not worth all the money and effort.
>>6194457
>>6194248Aren't a fuckload of europoors dying right now because of a little heat and nobody thought to put AC in their homes? LOL
>>6194522Ignore that troll >>6194248, he’s always pulling the same routine in these threads, arguing about tornado incidents from decades ago. But as you mentioned, it is reported that heatwave deaths in Europe have already reached 10,000 since June. And now with last week's china tornado, and current flood damage caused by failed dams, fatalities are in the thousands, and that recent earthquake in Venezuela death toll 4000+ eh, all current natural disasters. But no, the schizo troll is stuck on loop. Why though? He's traumatized. Kek, kys loser.https://archived.moe/wsg/thread/2706704/#2763203
>>6192708Thanks for this, that was beautiful, one of best things to watch while high.
>>6194097>>6194143On average, every year tornadoes kill around 50 people in the US and around 10 in the rest of the world.Compare that to the untold thousands that die in car crashes.
>>6194640>car crasheseurope is anti car so not a natural disaster, retard, a heatwave annual deaths in europe 175,000+
Never underestimate the power of water. Delta P, undertow, low head dams etc
>>6194670that guy in the end is gonna get the best head of his life
>>6194457We don't have to stop the entire process by blocking the drafts entirely at whatever altitude it's at, but we can slow it down.
>>6194708>but we can slow it down.How did you reach this conclusion?
>>6194731By blocking some of the draft.
>>6194732How is a wall in North Dakota supposed to block drafts in Iowa?
>>6194733You keep missing it. If we slow down the drafts, we can weaken or possibly stop powerful tornados from forming. It's just an idea. Maybe it'll work, maybe not.
>>6194737>If we slow down the draftsThese operate on the scale of a few dozen miles. Do you propose crisscrossing the Midwest with mile-tall walls spaced twenty miles apart?>It's just an idea. Maybe it'll work, maybe not.As proposed, it's obvious to anyone who knows how tornadoes work that it wouldn't, even apart from the practicality of actually doing it. And so, given an unspecified proposal along those lines, it's reasonable to ask what makes the proponent think it will work. If you can't say, you have nothing.
>>6194767Next idea: ICF dome homes with walls thicker than 8 inches. (Concrete, gravel, rebar, and sand)
>>6194797This is what they use in China, so how did it perform here >>6194229here >>6194225here>>6194234
>>6194798It's confirmed that those buildings are made from ICF?
>>6194801Yes.China actively uses ICF (Insulated Concrete Form) materials in construction, with a growing market driven by energy efficiency, durability, and sustainable building practices.Adoption and Market GrowthICF technology in China is gaining momentum due to the country's rapid urbanization and increasing demand for energy-efficient and disaster-resilient buildings.China has integrated ICFs in both residential and commercial projects, with applications ranging from standard homes to high-performance structures requiring enhanced thermal insulation and structural strengthGovernment initiatives and green building certifications, such as China’s Three-Star Rating System for Green Buildings, further encourage ICF adoption
>>6193039These are the kind of videos I'm surprised there aren't more of, especially with how prevalent cameras have become.
>>6194643lol, how the fuck are that many people dying from heat. it's fucking hot out, nigga, just turn the ac on!
>>6194806??You reply with a Google search result. The buildings in the videos you are discussing about.....are those buildings made of icf? Not any building in China...https://youtu.be/IOfGgC9jEwo
>>6194810Your youtube link is of hurricane, the one from china is an EF3 tornado, and yes they use icf, that is newer buildings.https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/man-blown-from-12th-floor-apartment-as-deadly-tornado-rips-through-central-china/ar-AA27nDJy?ocid=BingNewsSerp
>>6194648Flashfloods get overlooked as a threat a lot of the time, but it's really easy to see how people get killed in them - that water level is climbing easily a foot a minute. If you're asleep or not paying attention you could easily find yourself getting swept up or stuck surrounded by the flow.Those flash floods in Texas last year killed like 140 people, and that camp where the kids and counselors died was situated between branches of a river that rose something like 25-30 ft in like a half hour in the dead of night.
>>6194813Then all that's left is that we should avoid tornado risk places to live.
>>6194670Whoever parked that Mahindra Jeep saved that restaurant.
>>6192713I saw something exactly like this while living in Iowa for a year or two. Mother fucker was 1.5 miles wide and 7 miles from my house and I could only see that big bitch when the lightning flashed. Saw a lot of other twisters, but that one took the cake. Mother nature is wild man.
>>6194643that's actually insane that heatwaves are that deadly europe, i guess when it doesn't leave a literal path of destruction people don't care as much about the actual natural disaster that it is.
>>6194809Europe does not have a blanket ban on air conditioning, but strict regulations exist. Instead of outright prohibitions, usage and installation are limited by strict energy-efficiency mandates, historic preservation laws, and localized energy-saving rules.Strict factors dictating AC use in Europe include: Historic Preservation & Aesthetics: Many European cities—especially in the U.K. and Italy—have strict planning laws. In historic city centers (like Portofino, Italy), it is illegal to install bulky, external AC units that alter a building's architectural integrity or ruin the aesthetic of a neighborhood. Energy Limits in Public Buildings: To conserve energy, several countries—such as Spain and Italy—enforced legal limits on cooling in public and commercial buildings, preventing them from being set lower than 27°C (80.6°F). Installation Difficulty: Older, thick-walled European homes were historically designed to retain heat. Retrofitting central air or external condensers can be highly challenging, and many renters face restrictions on the modifications they can make. Refrigerant & Efficiency Rules: The European Union requires progressive reductions in the use of harmful greenhouse gases, pushing the market toward stricter energy disclosure rules and higher-efficiency products.
I've always wondered what the Plains Indians thought about tornadoes and what they would do in that situation teepees wouldn't stand a chance against even an EF1
>>6192708finally a legitimate use for vertical videos
>>6195094When the Midwest population consisted of only a few Indian tribes the odds of being in the direct path of a tornado are exceedingly rare. They definitely saw them but I doubt there's ever been an incident in premodern times where a tornado literally plowed through a tribe.
>>6194737The real question is: can we nuke a tornado? Bomb it with a big hot bomb, maybe it's enough to disperse it.
>>6194809Its less the people in homes (though there are some) and more so the hospitals and offices and suchdenser, more at risk populations in buildings with inherently shitty circulation and no AC or no power grid to keep them up
>>6194813>cheap chinese tenement blocks with such poor interior design and education that people just stand in negative pressure zones to get sucked outif the buildings are still structurally stable then concrete succeeded and beyond that, a block is way worse than a dome home for tornadoes, especially earth bermed ones.there are already concrete dome houses in america that have tanked near or direct hits from tornados with only the windows blown out
>>6195116No, tornadoes are created by conditions in the atmosphere and their associated storm. Even if you blew one up enough to disperse it, the roatating winds created by the thunderstorm would likely produce another one shortly after.
>>6195107>webmthat is so fucking awesomeI want more
>>6195116Yes, but nukes do worse damage than tornadoes, and the energy input into the local environment could power an even bigger tornado shortly after, since the macro conditions for a tornado would still be there.
>>6194545Yeah the guy is a typical obsessed yurotroon with tds who is in multiple threads on the catalog kek. Also, I can't imagine saving a webm like that to one's device, nigga's gotta be gay as hell.The heatwave shit has been sooo funny recently and an absolute disaster for smug yurocucks when you point out more of them die from not having AC than all gun violence in the US kekThat one video of that dumbass spraying water in his hot ass room was fucking hilarious, considering wet bulb too
>>6192708this is the one I'd let take me
>>6195116The power of one to even part the clouds temporarily would likely only strengthen the supercell and it would probably spawn more tornadoes, potentially even stronger ones.The fallout would contaminate thousands of square miles too
>>6195126I want to see how an earth bermed home would fair against particularly powerful tornadoes. IIRC some EF5s have scoured 2-3 foot trenches before, but many earth bermed homes are around that deep under the soil, which is also reinforced with roots and other shit, so I would like to see an actual test.Not really practical since tornadoes just move too fast to really get a feel for their damage, though. Even a direct hit would only last for a second or two. If they could simulate something like that directly on top of one for several seconds I'd like to see how it holds up. In theory it seems like it would only sustain minor damage
>>6195606EF5s can hit 300 mph at the core, that's enough to obliterate the exposed portion of a bermed home. It would probably fair better than a standard home, but there's a good chance of you getting sucked out or annihilated by flying debris blasting through the exposed portion
>>6194283Its still ongoing
rescue has started to arrive
>>6194095>>6194118>>6194120>>6194122It's weird to me to think about how long ago Joplin was. Yet it remains one of the best documented EF-5 tornadoes in history. Time marches ever on, I guess. I just deal with the threat of catastrophic wildfire and earthquakes, but I am still grateful that the vast majority of Tornados hit empty farmland and not large towns like Joplin.
>>6195841A lot of people have never heard of the 2008 Parkersburg F5 in Iowa. That big bitch was on the ground for 40+ miles.
>>6195831That is a Toyota land cruiser!!!!
>>6193023the leading cause of death and injury during tornadoes is getting hit by shit or standing by a window (because it breaks and then you get hit by the glass shards), so get as many walls between you and the outside, preferably with no windows. And don't be looking around outside if there's a warning cuz you don't know where that bitch will spawn like in >>6193038 or it'll spawn on the other side of town but your side is calm, throw a tire or some shit across town and lands through your window
