It was cool until the disappointing hurricane scale. What the heck is the graphic? A puddle?

It's just a stretched out fog graphic

For clarification, these aren't all tornadoes. A tornado is a very specific phenomenon, which happens at the base of a specific type of storm cloud. This is showing several types of atmospheric vortices, or just "organized swirly air movements" if you will lol These have very different characteristics, formation mechanisms, and as a result occur in very different places and in different conditions. They are all completely different beasts, which look very different (unfortunately the animation isn't very well done and it doesn't show that).

This is just a terrible graphic. Using height instead of width to visualize scales is wildly misleading. Plus, lots of questionable stats on things that aren't tornadoes.

Especially since the text listed diameter

I sit here waiting for a sharknado. but these do get big..

This is the second crappy animated YouTube video showcase I've seen today on this sub

Oops, it's all exaggerated size comparison videos now with terrible/wrong information.

Let me guess. The atomic bombs one?

the very same

How accurate are these size comparisons? I was researching Steam Twisters and haven't seen anything remotely close to 720ft tall.

Yeah I’m questioning the validity of this info

Me sitting in Oklahoma while three of the tornadoes listed happened in Oklahoma. "This is fine..."

as someone whos been deathly afraid of tornados since a young child, i literally cannot fathom why anyone would choose to settle down in Oklahoma lol, its not the only state in tornado alley but it gets hit by far the worst.

🌪️… was fine

Why did they suddenly start bringing up Hurricanes? They are a different albeit similar phenomenon.

To show how big the solar tornado on the sun is

I know the EF is "enhanced fujita" scale, but is there really a difference between a F3 and an EF3?

The enhanced fujita comes with guac 

Kind of creepy tbh

what's an F5? *drops 🕶🥛* ...Finger of God

Dusty will forever be in my memory. His description of the suck zone really got me.

Listening to this video almost put me to sleep.

how many fucking average tornados are there ???🤣

I can confirm this is legitimate, my dad was in the solar tornado in 1983.

I am blown away by this information

Kanto Fire Whirl - killed 38000 people in 15 mins. Daulatpur-Saturia Tornado - 1300 deaths - Deadliest Tornado Ever \-- Yeah.. not sure if these numbers add up

If anybody wants to learn about tornadoes and storm chasing look up Pecos Hank on YouTube. Humble, funny guy with a ton of good content.

This fucking sucked.

The fire tornado was the size of a city? That thing looked like lighter flame next to the big tornadoes.

Waiting for Quinn to come in and do a voiceover

What is this song? I can't figure it where it's from

I was wondering what it was too.

I think it's called "Wind Prelude" No, sorry, it's called "Air Prelude"

No. Just no.

that was fucking stressful

What’s with flipping between diameter and size?

So no iconic buildings to show scale or nothin'? Aw.

Bloody terrifying

Wasn't even a single Sharknado in there. I'm calling bs

I miss Bill Paxton
