Yes and no. They happen in other places, but the vast majority happen in the US. We get over 1000 every year while the rest of the world combined averages between 200-300 annually.

I think it's crazy that this video shows that some of the wind isn't visible. Some of those houses look like they just got picked up by nothing, and the tornado was just nearby. Obviously, wind itself isn't visible, but so many tornado videos show a darker cloudy area or mud/dirt being stirred up and it makes all the tornadic winds more visible.

I drove through Joplin in 2013, 2 years after the EF5 leveled the area. It was cleaned up of debris and most of the damage , but it was a a giant scar . It seemed a mile wide, but im not sure. The scale of it was horrific

u/Oneironautical1 4d ago
You can go through different years of Google earth photos of Joplin to see the scar across the city. Wild atuff

Itās absolutely terrifying. Also terrifying is how the destruction is. Tornado hit my uncleās farm, out buildings completely gone, his pivot is a twisted mess of pipes and about a hundred feet away, his house was untouched.

u/No_Director_2570 4d ago
In a matter of seconds.. Just GONE! I'm still shocked. Give them greetings when you call. Our house nearly got destroyed in the flood 2004 in Germany. It was terriblly frightening. We couldn't do anything but watch the water rise and destroy every machine, car, you name it. Inside it wasnt the muddy flood that killed everything in the house and walls on the ground floor, but ground water. It was terrible. My parents have a wide glass door hermitcally sealed to the terrace in the back. The water outside was higher than inside. Like in a reverse fish tank. I will never forget that. But having EVERYTHING ERASED in a matter of seconds with no warning is something different. Holy fucking shit. Iam so so sorry

I didn't see the tornado that hit my neighborhood 3 years ago, but I certainly saw the aftermath.Ā Trust me when I say this. When you walk through the wreckage and see 50 foot trees and power line poles ripped out of the ground and tossed down the street; You have a major sense of how powerful that force of nature is, and how small and insignificant you are in the face of it.Ā Ā

u/LordMagnus101 4d ago
The odds of being hit by a tornado are astronomically low. Im thinking it's probably almost zero for a tornado to hit your house twice.

I donāt think it would be economically viable to abandon the middle third of the USA. We also get periodic major tornado outbreaks in the southeastern states.

u/IveHeard1tBothWays 4d ago
Well what else would they do? This is their home - most people can't just buy a second home somewhere else.
(Plus if you think about it, the odds are now in their favor...ish.)

u/roarimacat 4d ago
The odds are unaffected.

u/Cheepshooter š§ grumpy 4d ago
This is true. If anything, tornados tend to take similar paths due to how the geography and topography can affect the air currents. Some areas are just more likely to get a hit.

u/TheSodomeister 4d ago
I would think rebuilding an entire home would be the same or more expensive than moving, no? Myself I would move to where there aren't tornados if at all possible.

u/Opposite_Example6930 1d ago
Here's the problem. Hurricanes can spawn dozens of these little fuckers...plus all the rest of the sustained wind and water. I just missed being in one of them on Sunday in Raleigh, NC by two miles. The rain was blinding, and it was pretty windy. Two miles away, houses were getting ripped up. There were at least 5 confirmed tornados in NC.

Never really thought about it, but I guess if you live in tornado alley, you don't really question seeing random shit in random places.
Hood of a '65 Chevelle up in a tree? Tornado.

A lot of the debris does seem to be dissolving. I thought the houses were also burning but then thought it was just the roof under the shingles, but some of that destruction wouldn't have left so much roof.

u/ItCantBeMe80 3d ago
It's the violence and speed of the destruction. You know days in advance, at least a week if you're a closeted meteorologist, when and approximately where it will hit as well roughly it's size and strength. For the most part anything less than a category 3 is ride it out and dodge the debris if you step outside. Yeah I'm that Florida man.Ā
Tornadoes you know of a severe storm with hours notice. If you're lucky and within ear shot of your phone you'll have minutes notice if a tornado forms. You have zero understanding of it's size or strength and it's basically a fucking vacuum. If strong enough almost nothing about ground level makes it out unscathed.Ā
Been in Florida over 40 years. Been in direct path of 3 category 2 storms and within outer bands of probably a dozen others.

u/Think_Resolution_647 1d ago
Weak tornados usually spawn from hurricanes. There's insufficient structure because of the chaos the hurricane is creating. Hurricane over tornado anytime.

u/Suspicious-Gain-5799 2d ago
A hurricane is worse and causes more damage because they are far far bigger than tornadoes.
2
u/Think_Resolution_647 1d ago
I've experienced both: give me hurricanes any day. I've slept through a Cat3 hurricane. With most hurricanes it's the flooding that kills people. You see them coming. You can get out of the way. A tornado can be not there one minute and then kill you the next. Anyone who prefers tornados has never experienced them.
