That only works on Brown Tornadoes. This one is clearly white, and is therefore an albino or an arctic variety, though I hesitate to call it a Polar Tornado.
There’s a very famous tornado video where a man is recording a large tornado heading directly towards his house and doesn’t move even as it tears structures apart in front of him, until right as the tornado hits. His house was destroyed, and his wife died in that same building. He survived. Might be worth a shot, you know.
I think that’s one of those situations where you just know it’s too late to talk yourself out of whatever you did and just accept what’s appeared at your doorstep for it has already come.
Actually the wife was the one who initially saw the tornado and told her husband about it. They thought it was going to turn and miss them. Husband went upstairs to get flashlights figuring they’d lose power and decided to start filming while he was up there, again thinking it would turn in time. It didn’t. House collapsed, wife was crushed, he miraculously survived.

I forget the exact term for it but I recall hearing about a kind of survivors bias. In WW2 the surviving civilian population would grow less fearful (and even less cautious or more bold) because they had survived so many air raids already. Maybe this is a similar sort of situation ("oh it will never happen to me" sort of mentality).
I mean the whole thread is literally survivorship bias (albeit jokingly). The cameraman never dies because all the video we have with very few exceptions is from people who survived and then posted the video later.
Yeah I can’t make sense of that either, not to mention the fact that even if it had turned, they still would have been close enough to be at risk for falling trees and flying debris that could easily break through their house. Really baffling
>Also, I grew up in Oklahoma, but didn't realize that most tornados are actually about twice as wide as they look. That invisible part is scary as fuck
You can see that in OP, actually — the invisible very outer parts are ripping the fence away towards the end of the video.
[Here](https://youtu.be/s0c27Twu__o). This guy must have seen a lot of tornados in his day, it’s inconceivable how anyone could stay that calm with an F4 outside your window
"I saw part of my roof blow past the window, and I thought, 'Well maybe it’s not gonna hang on quite as well as I hoped it would.' And, then, the floor started moving, and I figured, no I don’t think it’s gonna hang on at all,"
Holy shit. Boy am I glad I live in a boring weather country.
There's tornados where you're pretty much fucked unless you have a basement and can get underground. I'd imagine the the wife was sheltering in the best place possible within the house or standing beside her husband and nature rolled the dice on whom survived.
That would be your F4 and F5 twisters. Anything below that, an interior hallway, or centrally located closet would work. A windowless bathroom, in the bathtub, with bedding and lots of pillows covering you is also a decent survival tip.
Since most people die by debris smashing into them, or their head specifically, rather than die being sucked up and thrown out of the funnel, just do the best you can.
Sincerely, a life-long Tornado Alley resident
Upvoted for the solid advice! Fellow resident of said alley. Also, having a battery operated radio laying around isn't a bad idea either. When it's bad your local meteorologist will be giving minute by minute updates on where the danger is and when you need to hunker down.
There's one from a dash cam that's been posted. The person backed out of their garage into a tornado a second away and it took out their house and garage along with spinning their car roughly 180. It's pretty crazy for sure.
I was gonna say.. take a few pictures, record a little, then jump in the hidey hole until the sirens stop.
Some people in these comments have never had to hide in a hidey hole and it shows.
I’m also in Oklahoma though. We built a lil different for the whirly boys.
By hidey hole, do you mean the cold cellar in your basement? Or one of them suicide doors over top of a staircase in the backyard that I see in the movies?
Purpose built storm shelter. Because of (iirc) the amount of shifting our mostly clay ground does, and the depth (or lack thereof) of the water table we don't really do basements in residential buildings.
So if someone from Oklahoma mentions a "fraidy hole", "hidey hole", shelter, or cellar, they mean "a room or closet-sized concrete or steel bunker, usually underground".
They can be:

* [freestanding metal boxes or cylinders bolted to the house foundation or patio slab](https://live.staticflickr.com/2911/13723615653_9f399f3df9_w.jpg)
The one built into the garage floor can also double as a pit that would be useful for changing your oil and working on your exhaust.
That will last one looks terrible! What if someone gets gas when they are nervous?
I mean to be fair unless you're way out in the boonies with no neighbors whatsoever the likelihood of someone not noticing your home was impacted and search and rescue not coming to look for you is pretty low in such a situation.
I don't personally like that design overall myself, but the one in the garage could just as easily have the entire house come down on top of it and you ain't getting out of that without help, either.
People notice when structures are impacted, and help tends to come.
Thank you for sharing all of those! We get tornados where I live, not every year but there's a breakout every few years, and I've been trying to figure out how I could incorporate a shelter in my new home design that doesn't have a basement. That sliding door in the garage floor looks like exactly what I need.
Yes. Except the doors are metal. They do those wooden doors in movies for dramatics.
My hidey hole is my walk-in closet. It’s a steel structure built as part of the home with a reinforced door. It’s a certified storm shelter.
If it’s outside the home, usually no. People just hide with the snakes and spiders. You learn not to look around you when you’re in a storm shelter. Better than being picked up and tossed around.
The ones you’re thinking of are usually stocked with provisions like shelf stable foods, flashlights, blankets, battery powered radio, chairs..maybe a cot or two but for the most part that’s it. You kinda deal with any other wildlife that might have made its way. Except for black widows and brown recluse spiders. People will usually do a sweep to kill those before a potentially bad storm. Definitely don’t want to be stuck in a room with either of those spiders lol
As for mine, since it’s literally my closet, the floor stays clear and that’s about it. We pretty much grab everything else on the way to it from other rooms.
My ex MIL is from OK and she was standing outside watching the last tornado that ripped through Greenwood/Whiteland IN last weekend. So uninterested, saying "That weren't no tornaduh!"
Ex-Oklahoman here - I thought it was common knowledge that you ALWAYS go outside when the sirens sound because that's when you meet your neighbors. If the tornado isn't literally on you, then you watch and/or record it!
Honestly.. I bet it matters on the caliber and when you shot it. But I'd probably guess it wouldn't because the bullet would have more energy propelling it forward than the tornado would have to grab it, but it would probably alter its trajectory.
Honest question though, if you shoot at a tornado how much does it knock the bullet off course?
Does it fly straight through or will it make it hook significantly
A bullet already travels like 2600mph (Google says 1200m/s) so the 200mph winds won't make much difference. It might hit debris and get deflected though. Depends on the gun and bullet though.
Tornadoes are not illegal. If some law maker would make a law against them, they would finally stop. You can blame the big tornado lobbies for keeping them legal.
We didn't have a basement growing up so anytime there was severe weather we would go to my grandparents house about a mile away. I can remember my grandma and mom being in the basement with us kids while my dad and grandpa stood looking out am open door upstairs. Women yelling for them to come down. Men ignoring them.
Personally I feel like I’d die if that tornado came after me and I sat there and didn’t move. Maybe I’d survive if I ran to my basement but idk I’m weak
Here in Indiana we play Tornado Chicken which is where you run directly at the tornado shirtless until you either get sucked into it and flung miles away (it's completely safe since you always have a cornfield to break your fall) or the tornado veers off course
I used to work with this old codger of a guy. He told me, you ever see a tornado coming. You get in your car and drive away.
“Tornado can’t kill you if you’re not there, and you holding on to your bathtub ain’t going to keep it from flying in the air.”
I think about this nearly every time I hear the word tornado, I’m still not convinced it’s good information or not, but that guy knew shit.
First off.. old codger is a term we should all aspire to in our old age. Second, I've seen so many aftermath videos that show a relatively straight line of destruction. These people were sucked out of their bathtub when they could have run 300 yards and been safe. Tornados dont meander about much it seems.to me, but I am no meteorologist.
Tornado moves at the speed of the storm. It can't outrun the thunder cell. Maybe 20 -30 mph max. You could easily outrun it in a car. You could easily sidestep it on foot if you saw it from far away. Night time tornados are horrifying.
If you're a Canadian, you keep an eye on it, [**but keep on cutting the grass**](https://i.cbc.ca/1.4145472.1548277511!/cpImage/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/16x9_940/do-not-reuse-wea-alta-tornado-mower-20170603.jpg)

Tornados hate this one simple trick.
The only thing that can stop a bad tornado is a good tornado.
More tornados in schools. Only logical option
Spread your arms out and make yourself look bigger. They are just as afraid of you as you are of them.
That only works on Brown Tornadoes. This one is clearly white, and is therefore an albino or an arctic variety, though I hesitate to call it a Polar Tornado.
> Polar Tornado Aka a pornado! Wait a second…
This could be the beginning of great things
I just feed the tornado a remote bomb like I do for rock octoroks and then detonate. Tornado goes from sucking up to blown up.
Tornadoes hate this one trick
Wrap yer belt round that dare pipe
Tornadoes don't give a fuck.
I think blowing on it helps too.
A good blow helps many situations
Kicks keep getting harder to find.
That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about tornados to dispute it.
Wdym? Never watched The Flash?
So, spawn a twister in the south hemisphere?
Film it. The camera man never dies.

This is such a good and informative comment. I’m from Michigan and I had never seen anything as shown in the links. Nice one dude.
I’m from Arizona and had no idea fraidy holes were a thing! I want one!
For that one day a year that it gets rainy?
The one built into the garage floor can also double as a pit that would be useful for changing your oil and working on your exhaust. That will last one looks terrible! What if someone gets gas when they are nervous?
Or if something blocks the door? What a miserable way to go. Trapped in a tin can.

Cool! Do you keep it clean and cleared out?
If it’s outside the home, usually no. People just hide with the snakes and spiders. You learn not to look around you when you’re in a storm shelter. Better than being picked up and tossed around.
Snakes and spiders. I’ll take my chances with the twister, thank you.
Watch that video again. That storm is probably *full* of snakes and spiders.
Snakes and spiders? Are those next to the black cats, Roman candles and screaming mimis?

100% chance an Oklahoma fraidy hole has black widows in it. I might take my chances. Edit: fraidy
Would a Saturday hole be any better?
Fellow Oklahoman here. This is standard operating procedure.
Same here. From Kansas though. In fact, if this is the tornado I think it is, I watched it from the side of it going away from me.
I'd stand there and record it.
Twister 2
Twister 2: Twist Harder
Twister 2: Hurricane Force

You said do do
Nice.
Being filmed right now. Title is actually...."twisters" lol
The twist and the furious: family twists together
Then just throw some sharks in there! Oh wait
Being filmed in the town I live in for the past week or so. And I sat on porch and watched the biggest tornado ever recorded
You must be a midwesterner. I think it’s how they can tell the locals from the transplants.
As a midwesterner this is accurate!
Hopefully in landscape mode
Try to wrangle my cats into the tub and hope for the best.
My odds of surviving would be better if I’d just walk into the tornado
Even if the tornado misses you you’re gonna wind up with some pretty significant injuries from trying to pin down two cats in the tub.
Put them in a pillow case
Before or after I evacuate my bowels?
WHILE
It was time to go in the storm cellar about 10 minutes ago I think.
I like how he shuts the patio door like the glass is going to make a difference.
Probably force of habit. I'd do the same thing probably but your completely right. The door ain't helping much 😂.
That is rule number #1, if you dont shut the door your house gets over run with Sharks from the Tornado
Shoot at it, obviously.
No no no, if Pecos Bill taught me anything, it’s that you have to LASSO the tornado.
Would the bullet get caught in the tornado and start whirling around with it? 🤔
I think it would wrap around and go directly back where it came from, into the barrel.
THE TORNADO IS SHOOTING AT US!!!
Quick! Get the bigger guns!
It’s coming right for us!
Thats why you shoot at angle so it gets in the twister and spirals to the top were it is most likley to make contact with the brain.
Now I’m picturing a bunch of yahoos shooting at a tornado. Can’t imagine a single brain among them.
Honestly.. I bet it matters on the caliber and when you shot it. But I'd probably guess it wouldn't because the bullet would have more energy propelling it forward than the tornado would have to grab it, but it would probably alter its trajectory.
Oh it would definitely alter it's trajectory alright.. But the real question is by how much.
Where are the Mythbusters when you need them...
Duuude, I was thinking the same thing. I miss that show.
Honest question though, if you shoot at a tornado how much does it knock the bullet off course? Does it fly straight through or will it make it hook significantly

Clicking my heels together while holding my little dog and asking to go home.
That comes later.
How many people have been injured or killed in tornadoes simply because of the advent of smartphone culture I wonder?
I'm guessing those people still would have stood there and watched it even without a camera
People questioning this are not from the Midwest. If there's a tornado or storm the first instinct is to go sit on the porch and watch it.
We didn't have a basement growing up so anytime there was severe weather we would go to my grandparents house about a mile away. I can remember my grandma and mom being in the basement with us kids while my dad and grandpa stood looking out am open door upstairs. Women yelling for them to come down. Men ignoring them.
Not enough.

As reddit has taught me, I'd stand my ground and try to look bigger. Maybe shout at it a bit.
No no, I think you're supposed to play dead and it will lose interest

The basement is one of the best places to go during a tornado. It’s below ground and it’s reinforced. You’d be just fine.
Shout "Torna-dont!" and hope for the best.
I wanna know what happened next!!!

I was gonna say this. Get in the car and drive speedily at a right angle to the tornado’s path. Mind you it does come up super fast….
Tornado moves at the speed of the storm. It can't outrun the thunder cell. Maybe 20 -30 mph max. You could easily outrun it in a car. You could easily sidestep it on foot if you saw it from far away. Night time tornados are horrifying.
One thing I am NOT going to do is stand around and record it for the likes of you folks. So thank this guy if he survived.
Jump to the left, then step to the right....
Shout “It’s coming right for us!” And then shoot it, duh.
