June 29th, 1,764, seemed like a regular day in one small picturesque town in Germany.
0:53
Residents were in church.
0:55
Little did they know that a powerful storm was about to hit the area.
0:59
It wasn't just an ordinary storm.
1:00
It was a strong swirling tornado getting closer and closer.
1:04
It was an F2 tornado at the beginning.
1:07
Strong enough to uproot trees like oaks and beaches.
1:10
But as time went by, it grew and became more powerful.
1:14
It even picked up two children on its way and threw them into a lake.
1:18
Something strange happened too.
1:20
The water level in the lake rose and then quickly retreated.
1:24
Leaving the lake behind the tornado struck a house,
1:27
tearing off the roof and knocking down the walls.
1:30
Then the tornado changed direction and headed east-northeast,
1:34
increasing its intensity to F3 level.
1:37
That's when something fascinating happened.
1:40
A possible twin or satellite water spout merged with the tornado along the shore of Lake
1:46
It was like two tornadoes coming together.
1:49
It got wider and stronger.
1:51
So it started snapping and uprooting solitary oak trees flinging them
1:55
115 feet into the air.
1:57
It left behind a barren landscape, removing crops, grass, and even topsoil.
2:02
Back then, people couldn't even read or write very well.
2:05
Let alone use devices that could predict a tornado.
2:08
This one was so strong it destroyed houses, barns, and even uprooted trees.
2:13
Such a terrifying thing to see.
2:16
But there was something special about the church people were in.
2:19
It had strong stone walls, so they were safe inside, even though everything outside was getting
2:24
destroyed. They didn't even realize how lucky they were until later, with winds
2:28
estimated to be over 300 mm, it was unstoppable.
2:32
The tornado traveled a distance of 19 miles, and stretched to a maximum width of 0.6 miles.
2:39
A raging storm through tree branches so high, people believed they ended up in the atmosphere.
2:44
Another strange thing about this tornado was that it occurred during a dry storm.
2:48
There was very little rain reported, but the storm still managed to make such a mess.
2:52
It even produced large hailstones, some as big as 5.9 inches in diameter.
2:58
Just imagine chunks of ice that large falling from the sky.
3:01
These hailstones caused significant damage to crops and properties,
3:05
and everything else that was outside at that time.
3:08
After the storm passed, one scientist, Gottlob Birchard Gensmer,
3:12
studied the damage, and talked to people who had witnessed the tornado.
3:15
Only to realize, this was one of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded in history.
3:20
It reached F5, the highest rating on what's called the Fujita Scale,
3:24
which measures tornado strength.
3:26
It took an hour for the madness to stop.
3:29
Back in 1925, people in Northeast Missouri didn't have an organized tornado warning system either.
3:36
It took them by surprise.
3:50
When one day, in the early afternoon, they saw a tornado forming in that area.
4:13
At first, it was a small one that briefly lifted off the ground.
4:17
But as time went by, it started growing into a massive monster.
4:21
Meanwhile, in West Frankfurt, Illinois, some miners were working deep underground,
4:26
about 500 feet below the surface. Suddenly, the power went out,
4:31
and they knew something was wrong.
4:33
They quickly started climbing up the shaft to get to the surface.
4:37
When they finally made it, they were in for a terrible shock,
4:41
because of the devastating consequences of this giant tornado.
4:44
The tornado didn't even stop there. It kept on making a mess as it traveled a long distance.
4:50
It plowed through the land for a whopping 219 miles, all the way from near Redford, Missouri
4:56
to the east of Princeton, Indiana. It moved at a crazy speed of 73 miles an hour.
5:02
In one town, Murphy'sboro, Illinois, the tornado wiped out a staggering 100 blocks of the town,
5:07
plus another 70 blocks ended up destroyed by fire.
5:10
In another town, Griffin, Indiana, not a single building was left standing.
5:15
The tornado got weaker only at 430 in the afternoon.
5:18
This tornado, known as the Tri-State tornado, really made history as the worst and longest
5:24
lasting tornado ever recorded in the United States. In April 1965, people in the region of the
5:31
Great Lakes started complaining about this weird heat. The forecast showed no storms for that area.
5:37
It was because of thunderstorms sweeping across the upper Midwest of the United States.
5:42
These storms were insane and so powerful they created 51 tornadoes in just 12 hours.
5:47
The states of Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan ended up being hit particularly hard.
5:52
Something unfortunate happened during this time. All this caught the forecast team,
5:57
the National Severe Storms Forecast Center, in Kansas City, Missouri, off guard.
6:02
They quickly tried to send out warnings to let people know what was happening,
6:06
but many people didn't hear the announcements because there were no outdoor tornado sirens at
6:10
that time. Additionally, a lot of TV and radio stations didn't regularly broadcast weather alerts.
6:17
Power was gone, and telephone lines didn't work, which meant many towns were completely cut off
6:23
from communications. People couldn't receive the warnings because they didn't have access to
6:28
electricity or working phones. One spring day in 1974 was especially hard because of
6:36
severe thunderstorms that unleashed a series of powerful tornadoes across 13 states in the United
6:41
States. These tornadoes lasted for 16 hours, and they ranged from weaker F-0 to the most powerful
6:47
and destructive F-5 ones. At one terrifying moment, there were 15 tornadoes touching the ground
6:53
at the same time. One lasted for more than two hours, and two others were swirling around
6:58
each other like dancers. This was another big lesson, after which some changes in tornado warnings
7:05
were made. In those days, weather forecasters could only warn people about a tornado if they had
7:10
seen one with their own eyes, which was mostly too late. Exama is unpredictable, but you can blare
7:17
less with ebglyce, a once monthly treatment for moderate to superior ebglyce. After an initial
7:23
four-month or longer dosing phase, about four and ten people taking ebglyce, achieved it's
7:27
related and glare are almost glare skin at 16 weeks, and most of those people maintain skin that
7:31
still mark glare at one year with monthly dosing. Ebglyce, library kizumap lbkz, a 250-milligram per
7:36
two-milliliter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age
7:40
and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema. Also called
7:45
a topic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin,
7:48
or topicals, or who cannot use topical therapies. Ebglyce can be used with or without
7:52
topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebglyce, allergic reactions can occur
7:57
that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye
8:00
problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebglyce. Before starting ebglyce,
8:04
tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask a doctor about ebglyce and visit ebglyce.lily.com

8:17
April 26th, 1989. At around 630 in the afternoon, the sky above one district,
8:24
Managange in Bangladesh, turned dark and ominous.
8:28
The tornado began its journey from one point, Dolatpur, and moved swiftly eastward,
8:34
Saturia, Managange Sadar. People living in that region had already been facing a severe drought,
8:40
and little did they know there were even worse scenarios coming. The storm was fierce,
8:45
stretching about 10 miles long and one mile wide. It covered a relatively small area,
8:50
but it still caused enormous damage. It tore through the land and blew away buildings,
8:55
thousands of trees, strong and rooted for years, and everything else in its path.
9:00
The countryside of Marsala in western Sicily is really beautiful,
9:04
but it wasn't so stunning on December 8th, 1851. Two fierce tornadoes suddenly swept across
9:12
the land, leaving nothing but chaos. As they moved, they brought along heavy rain and hail storms,
9:18
causing even more damage to the already vulnerable farmlands. One town, Castellamare,
9:23
had an amazing harbor with plenty of ships, and it suffered great damage. The news of this
9:28
devastating event reached far and wide, even making its way to the illustrated London news.
9:34
The outbreak in Oklahoma from 24 years ago, May 3rd, 1999, was tough too.
9:41
Just one stormy day caused enormous damage from Texas all the way up to South Dakota.
9:47
At least 45 tornadoes touched down, and Oklahoma was hit the hardest with an F5 tornado.
9:53
The story seemed familiar. What first seemed like a small twister quickly grew into a massive force
9:58
that, at one point, measured one mile in width. This one ripped asphalt from roads,
10:04
peeling it away in layers like fragile paper. It tore the vegetation away and even wrapped
10:09
roofing materials around power lines. NASA scientists studied the area using satellites.
10:15
They realized it would take between 10 to 20 years for the vegetation to fully regrow,
10:20
in the region where the tornado left nothing but muddy, barren land.
10:24
Oklahoma is in a pretty unfortunate spot when it comes to tornadoes. Take 1,947 as an example.
10:31
The Woodward tornado got named after the city it had struck. This monstrous tornado was massive.
10:37
It reached 1.8 miles in width, and it raced forward at an incredible speed of around 50 mumpic,
10:43
before reaching Woodward. The tornado had already caused a lot of mess in other towns along its
10:49
path, but it was in Woodward where it unleashed its worst fury. Without any warning,
10:54
it struck the city at 842 in the evening, catching the residents by surprise.
11:00
Communication with the outside world was cut off, leaving families uncertain about the fate of
11:35
As if one tornado isn't enough, some areas get struck by a series of them. In 1908,
11:43
an outbreak of tornadoes swept across the eastern part of the United States, from Texas to Georgia,
11:49
and then northward from Oklahoma to Tennessee. At least 34 tornadoes touched down.
11:55
Nature showed no mercy, buildings were torn apart, and once thriving streets were reduced to rubble.
12:01
The Fujita scale measures tornado strength based on two things. The speed of the winds and the
12:07
amount of destruction caused. F5 tornadoes are the strongest, most destructive ones.
12:12
I mean some people talk about F6 tornado with winds that could blow it over 300 miles per hour.
12:18
If this one was passing by, you definitely know how Dorothy felt.
12:22
Luckily, F6 exists only in stories, and Oz is the last place you are likely to end up at.
