Rainsville - The Strongest Tornado You've Never Heard Of

Pine ridge is around their somewhere I remember this day I was living in ft payne..

I remember the flat rock twister going through ider Alabama..

It was an ef5

I absolutely hate when people say things like “God is amazing” just because they were lucky enough to be spared. What about the people who weren’t lucky enough? God just didn’t care about them? As that woman is saying “God is amazing” she’s filming other people’s demise.

I remember that year.... we had tornado destroy a Lowes hardware store here in Cumberland County, NC.
At least I think it was this year... may have been 2010.

Man, this is scary af 😓

Are you reading straight from Wikipedia? I quote the wiki page "School bus torn to its chassis east of Rainsville. This is considered to be some of the worst damage ever inflicted on a vehicle by a tornado." you said the second part verbatim.

"god is so amazing"
yeah......killing ppl. what a great god!

I just started watching this channel today and my biggest complement is the use of the satellite before and after as well as the tracking of key players to the story. It gives a great perspective of how lucky (or unlucky) some people were and how devastating these storms can become.

They really didn't look for the door of that safe too hard huh? It was laying right under it lol. Just trying to bring some levity, but yea I thought that was pretty funny that you could see the door laying right under it with the handle and dial on it.

Yup, the EF6 rating should be made. Doing the one thing that most EF5s do not being heavily damaging tornado shelters. This is the description of “Inconcievable” damage.

Ur vids r so freaking good dude like wow. and ur voice is so good for this type of vids too KEEP IT UP🔥

That tornado was about a football field away from my house. Me and my family are extremely blessed we didn't get hit by this tornado.

I was in the 5th grade in 2011 and I’ve lived in Tuscaloosa my whole life. I’ll never forget April 27th and seeing that funnel coming towards me. It turned at the last moment and missed my grandparents house but destroyed everything around it. God bless

The fact that this tornado ripped a 108 population community in seconds is crazy, and also, an entire storm shelter was ripped!?!?!? IMPOSSSIBLE!

ha

"God is so amazing." Ma'am, there are a lot of people that would disagree in that moment.

Damn, god REALLY hates the south, especially Alabama

about 700 tornadoes touch the ground in the 2011 super outbreak

The worst damage I saw was that “Free Strom Relif” sign🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

When you said it tossed a safe that was bolted into the concrete ripping the door off the safe never to being found again, expect the pictures you used the door to the safe was literally right next to it lol.. just something I caught 😏🤙🏼

dead man

lol “it’s pure steel door is ripped off never to be found again”. It’s literally laying right beside it in the picture lol

“It’s raining” didn’t notice. Good to know.

"Free Strom Relif"

Nature can give life and it takes it away, tornadoes are scary but remember no matter what you do or try to do, you can't stop it. So get out of it's way or accept your fate

Your Docuseries are better than any other! Thank you so much!

Could you imagine being one of those people inside that storm shelter as its ripped up out of the ground and the door is being ripped off piece by piece prior to the tornado passing thats gotta be one of the most horrifying experiences ever.

If a tornado rips a storm shelter up that's underground, I would say that's questionable construction. That shit doesn't happen. Maybe the top part gets ripping off; but no way it pulls it out of the ground.

I'm genuinely flabbergasted when I hear something like "the tornado spared them" in reference to things like what happened to those people in the storm shelter, where it pulled the shelter up, ripped off the doors, and moved on. Mate, the tornado didn't do SHIT on its own. You're going to look at that and tell me it wasn't an act of God? I'd tell you you're hard-hearted, and willingly ignorant. The selective nature of tornado destruction is such an obvious example of the sovereignty of God, and people flat out refuse to heed it.
Psa 29:5 KJV The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

I will never forget watching the F-5 rampaging toward Tuscaloosa and seeing it coming straight at my house. Then, by some miracle, it broke apart and jumped directly over my house, coming back down minutes later. I was stunned that we were so lucky, but I couldn't say the same for the rest of the city.

I lived off of Black Circle (CR515) for a few years after that small trailer park was blown away. I actually lived in one of the houses that that was rebuilt on the land where that trailer park stood. I talked to the landowner about that day. He told me that the place was literally unrecognizable shreds, shards and toothpick sized debris and that some of those mobile homes turned to dust and simply blew away. I saw all the driveways leading to empty slabs and the storm shelter that was nearly sucked out of the ground. Let me tell you, the two times that a supercell came over and the tornado sirens sounded, you’d better believe I was in the car speeding to the storm shelter in town. As a side note, sand mountain gets a bad rap. I loved it there. Really good people in that area.

My school got DESTROYED

Worst tornado in history yet forgotten in an instant. That's wild. Basement is well known for being the best shelter, yet it'd be useless.

I want to say that this should've been considered an f6 because it ripped up the ground, but I bet there's an explanation for why not. What is it?

insivible vortex!

My parents work in Huntsville Alabama they were at work that day and they said it was the craziest day ever I wasn’t alive then I think I’m very grateful that they didn’t get harmed

Your vids are amazing, and I love your love of severe weather. Can you plz talk about hurricanes.

Are u whispering?

I also have a scary story so it was one time in March and we were just at my house and then we hear tornado signs going off on our phones so I’m going down to the basement because I don’t wanna get swept up by a tornado. It was in our backyard we felt the rumbling like 12 feet underground. It leveled our whole street. We are the only house that were untouched.
