The Worst Tornado of Every Year (since 1950)

Took awhile to make this video and just fyi is slightly less polished than my usual videos. Im sure I pronounced several towns incorrectly haha. Also still working on the lighting and new studio. Trying to go for like a cozy weather bunker 80s basement vibe.. Anyway thanks for watching and be sure to check out some merch if you're interested!

You’re my tornado dad. Happy Father’s Day.

An hour of the most dangerous tornados over the years? Susan get my pants.

If some didn’t know yet, in 1989, a tornado in Bangladesh formed (Nicknamed the Daulatpur–Saturia tornado) and it is considered the deadliest on earth with about 1,300 deaths, surpassing the Tri-State tornado which had 695 fatalities.

My mom is a claims adjuster for an insurance company and was activated for "storm duty" to OK after 5/20/13. I remember seeing pictures of the devastation she had sent to me in the three weeks she was there and it was just absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. Something I will never forget and inspired me to become a meteorologist. I graduated this year with my bachelors in Atmospheric Science!

this channel makes me both terrified and fascinated by tornadoes

My dad remembers the 1966 Topeka tornado, his dad went to town that day after to help with anything. He has lived in Kansas for 63 years and he has never seen a tornado with his own eyes

I'd personally say that the Daulatpur–Saturia, Bangladesh tornado was the worst tornado of 1989, as it is the deadliest tornado ever recorded. 1200 people lost their lives, while 13000 were injured. I'm kind of surprised you didn't mention it. Loved the video. Keep up the amazing work.

The Plainfield f5 was unwarned. Nobody knew it was coming.

An hour long Swegle video about tornados??? It must be early Christmas!!

glad to see the EF4 tornado in Rowlett get some recognition. I've lived in Rowlett for most of my life(I used to live in Oak Cliff until I moved to Rowlett at age 4), and I was just at home when the tornado was crossing the lake and about to hit Rowlett. My grandma took me and my sister and took us to our moms to spend time with her after christmas. When we were in the car, I saw the tornado still in south Garland. My moms was in Duncanville, so after my grandma dropped us off, she had to drive all the way back. 2 days later when we went back to our Grandma's, she told us everything. Luckily, the tornado barely missed my house. But the edge of the tornado hit some stores a quarter a mile away from our house. Since it got close, there was still some damage. We had a damaged roof, leaks everywhere, and our fence was destroyed and had fallen. I still live in the same house to this day. Remembering the suffering the city had went through that day is hard. Every December 26th I am reminded of that day. But thank you so much for putting it in here!

Some unsolicited trivia: Udall was so severely impacted that city hall business was conducted for a time in a hotel in Wichita. The city council conducted meetings to determine if the town could even be rebuilt at all. I can't recall which hotel it was.

OMG! 56 minutes and 18 seconds of pure entertainment!?!?! Every time this dude drops its a banger.

Thank you, Swegle, for including the graphic on the percentage of basements. Basements here in Dixie alley, are rare because of the water table as well as cost prohibitive. Most are only partial, faux basements at that.

Born and raised in Grand Island (1993) and I grew up hearing so many stories about June 3rd, 1980! The F4 that tracked down South Locust Street completely leveled my great grandpa's auto body shop!

I lost two close family friends and nearly a family member on the Whippoorwill. One of them was a good swimmer, however he got tangled in an awning and couldn't get out. They were on a church sponsored outing on that occasion. Simply to see the photos brings me to tears even after all this time.

Thanks for highlighting Wisconsin and their propensity for unusually strong tornadoes given its locale! One interesting one that you mentioned was the 1981 West Bend tornado. It was a strong F4 that struck overnight when the storm was weakening, however the most noted feature was it is the strongest anticyclonic tornado on record! It started right in my childhood back yard too

Good video, although you forgot about the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado from 1989 that killed at least 1,300 and is considered the deadliest tornado in history

My family moved to Topeka KS in the spring of 1967, and there was still plenty of evidence of the June 8, 1966 tornado. One of our favorite hamburger places was newly built right along the tornado's track through town, and a bunch of denuded trees were visible across the street. We lived in a mobile home park that was located on a high hill, but we were across the street from the closest tornado shelter, and while we lived there (1967-1969) a couple of weaker tornadoes touched down in the valley but we were safe.

Babe wake up hour long Swegle Studios video just dropped
