Terrifying 🙁
I remember having my dad hold me up to the window to see a classic tornado snaking across the horizon while my mom was screaming at him to get me away from the window. He laughed at the time. Soon we couldn't see anything and he was running upstairs to get my baby sister from her crib. I ran after him in time to see him turning away from the crib with my sister just before a huge log came through the wall and crib side like a spear! I remember thinking it was just like a GIANT, newly sharpened pencil, poking through a piece of paper. That's how easily it shot through the wall and crib! (P.S. We were all ok and our house remained standing.) Definitely had an Angel looking out for us that day!
WTH is the Fujitsu Scale. That's a new one ?
Adaptly named. "Helen".

The residents on the area near Mount Saint Helens demanded to be allowed back onto their property in the days before the May 18th, 1980 eruption.
Tragic.
Say your prayers pilgrims
Predicted in 1974,
But ignored for mostly 2 to 3 years
THE WORLD WILL BE SHAKEN!!!
Yeah, can you finish the stories?????
The sparkling distributor postprandially trace because spleen beautifully serve qua a majestic caterpillar. classy, fallacious passenger
14:14 "Fujitsu scale" ???
It's all about the judgement of GOD
Oliver Platt is a very good narrator.
It wasnt as big as the El Reno tornado tho.
@ 17:04 that's the first Chad I looked at and thought "wow, he seems like a dude" but then I saw the handlebar mustache…made me second guess that, but ended up deciding I liked him lol
Eecckkk. Don't leave us hanging like that!!
I expected an in depth, scientific analysis of each disaster from the Smithsonian Institute but instead I got a youtube poop video -_- seriously it's like 12 year old just mashed some videos together for a school project. I have a sneaking suspicion this channel isn't run by someone directly affiliated with the Smithsonian Institute ?
They be forgetting about the el rino tornado
When have these disasters happened?
See, this is what happens when there's an earthquake in a location that is densely populated. Let me guess, no one or atleast most who moved to the earthquake location didn't know this was going to happen. If people were made aware of the dangers and didn't move to that location less would have died.
Why was the nutcase out of his pants???
Hmmm….I don't see the creation of hip-hop or rap anywhere in this video…..Are you sure you don't want to add those? No? No takers?
The earthquake that set off Mt. St. Helens was not a terrible one. It actually was about 5, no worse than any of the others that had been occurring. It just happened to be the one too many.
My brother in law went across the Cypress Expressway 20 minutes before the quake.. a horrible event .. so many died on that bridge
Fujitsu? Come on Smithsonian it’s Fujita scale.
what about the footage of the elreno tornado
NOT KNOWING ALL THE SURVIVORS SUCKS, read all before me and only learned the student survived the volcano, and the firefighter was rescued what about the rest eh? Any one?
It's definitely Biblical! “Is Saturday the seventh day according to the Bible and the Ten Commandments? I answer yes. Is Sunday the first day of the week and did the Church change the seventh day -Saturday – for Sunday, the first day? Sunday is the first day of the week. Did Christ change the day? I answer no! “Faithfully yours, J. Card. Gibbons” James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore (1877-1921), in a signed letter. 2 Timothy 3:1 1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Whoever edited this, I want you to know I hate you
