Might have to raise it a few more feet if the icebergs keep melting ll
REVELATIONS 16 21
And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people; and they cursed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

It was tragic that it took a tornado outbreak to basically. upgrade the weather monitoring system. What is sad is how it's often ignored these days.
I grew up in Rochester Michigan, on about June 1974 we had a hard rain and windy day. After the storm there were hundreds of tiny frogs all over our lawn. Before I cut the grass I would collect as many as I could in a tub and took them to a pond and deposited them there.
I was 12 in 1974, and my sister and I sat in lawn chairs in the front yard, watching tornadoes form on the horizon and dissipate. My mom came out to see why we were being so quiet, saw what we were doing and made us all run for the car. We spent the rest of the night in the basement of a local church. We heard about Xenia on the radio. A few days later, I was in the woods near our house, and found a nearly perfect circle of downed trees, laid out like spokes on a bicycle wheel. Our area of Northwest Ohio didn't see much damage, the tornadoes were sporadic and more along the lines of forming, touching down for a moment, then dissipating. It was fascinating to watch. We weren't so lucky with the blizzard of '78….
Sir, it's called "Gorilla Hail." Other than that, great job! ;p
15:10 is a great video summary of mesocyclone structure.
18:03 attention to the classic supercell trace with the distinctive hook echo appendage on the southwestern side.
49:00 That's amazing a prayer to Jesus saved them both ….. but stuff all the others that prayed their guts out. Gawd works in mysterious ways.
Skeleton lake in india two different groups of pilgrimages were killed by hail stones
Didn't know he likes kitty possums. Cool.
I was once happily q resident of Galveston about 14 years. In Sept 13 2013. The anniversary of the 1900 storm. I rode it out because my cars were not good enough. And I had 3 large dogs. It was only a 2 storm hurricane Ike but it had a 500 year flood attached to it. The powers that be would not let us walk on the seawall it was so damaged. And some friend that had 2 stories had flooding on the second level. The insurance hikes drove a lot of people away. It was about 15 ft storm serge . Which was highest in memory. Seawall grade raising only do so much the effort has to go on forever. Galveston is an air b and b town now so most people have moved away next big storm will have the air b and be move away. Leaving Galveston near empty. People need to make plans for climate change soon the waters will not ever recede
Thanks for the modern pics I moved I needed to but I still miss galveston
The storm of 1974, was one of the most frightening event, I've ever lived through.
History Cat! A humbling group of stories to have items for emergency for peace of mind as much for neighbors.
A storm system once picked up a 3×1 ft steel sign from a housing development in Albuquerque and deposited the sign on the street in front of my house in Lewisville, TX. That was a trip of over 500 miles.
How does this vid have almost 60k views but only 3k likes?? 😮something isn’t right about that.
As a meteorologist, all I can say is: great job! Bring us more!!! 👍🏻
Excellent as always Sir!!! Thank you for sharing such important information with us, as always!!! I've only ever had two teachers/Instructors make History interesting for me….. I'm 52 now. The first teacher was my 5th grade History teacher, and the second would be you!!! You have a true gift and we are absolutely blessed you are compiling a list of so many videos that will hopefully inspire many GREAT History Teachers/Instructors and help struggling students gain a new perspective on the subject and at minimum be able to pass the classes with a C average if not better.
Awe kitty!
I think it might have been God saying to Jesus hold my beer and watch this as he shows frogs getting sucked up into a storm by a water spout, then get temporarily frozen in hail stones that fall to the ground, of which event the frogs survive.
Isaac's Storm about the 1900 Galvesron hurricane is a fascinating book.
I was just gonna see what this was. Ended up watching the whole gotdamn thing!
I found this story "ribbit-ing"!
I lived in Northern Cincinnati in 1974. I slept under my kitchen table in my garret loft that night with an Army helmet liner on my head.
The helmet fell off while i was sleeping. A loud noise made me jerk upright. I rammed my head on a bolt under the table and cut my head.
The next day my friend and i took our usual weekly trip through Xenia to Young's dairy. What a trail of devastation. But we got our milk.😢
Tysm. This was a great video.
As a 30 year resident of Houston I have often heard about the raising of the Island but never knew how. It's time for another trip to The Island
UK. If a massive tornado does no damage to life or property it's an F1, if the same tornado hits a city and causes massive damage and loss of life it's an F5. The Fujita scale only measures its power through damage and not the true power of all tornadoes. There are I believe some discussions under way to find a better method. If committees in the US are anything like the UK, don't hold your breath.
Nice cat!
And then there is the hurricame of 1915 in Louisiana. . . My mother had pictures of uprooted trees.
This is why I always ask whether men and women to just say when it's time to put on your helmet's because when you say sound to put on your helmet well there you go
7:20
2:64 eh. Can't say ive ever heard of that time
When we were Hunter Gatherers. The nature of the earths destructive natural phenomena. Earthquake,Erupting Volcano,Tsunamis and the Severe Weather Events. Had to make humans extremely frightened. The only way for the leaders of a tribe. Could calm down their followers was to explain these natural events. By creating Gods and give them names for all the different destructive events that occurred on earth. Then place the blame on the followers. Saying it’s your fault the Gods are being destructive during these natural events occurred. This creating Gods was Followed by Religion when humans began to write and record history. Then HUMANS write a book(The Bible). Its main purpose was to influence Humanity to stop being savages and become civil.
Woowoo wrcb! Chattanooga native here!❤😊
It's hard to compare the 1974 outbreak and the 2011 outbreak. The total number of EF 5 tornados in the US is 9 and 4 happened on April 27 2011. Most of the EF 4 tornados from 2011 would have been f5 in 1974 and some of the F5 tornados from 1974 are probably EF4. Because the tornados were so densely packed in 2011 it increased the destruction. Towns were hit by an EF3 tornado in the morning and an EF4 tornado in the afternoon. A single supercell produced an EF 5 tornado in MS, an EF4 that crossed all of Alabama traveling 128 miles over 2 hours and 16 minutes, and then another EF5 in NE Alabama that ended in Georgia, and finally an EF4 that started in Georgia and ended in Tennessee. The 4 tornados traveled 250 miles and killed 61 (33 from EF4s and 28 from EF5s)
Unfortunate amphibians . Great description and laughed out loud
Absolutely no one describes history as exciting and informative as the history guy.
The bit about the nuns almost brought tears to my eyes. Your power of storytelling is profound! Thank you, History Guy!
I just threw out milk dud size hail from a storm a few weeks ago that I had risked my head to retrieve. Silly. Thanks
But the big questions- did the chemtrails turn the frogs gay while they were up there?
I was raised in Columbus Ohio I was 16 years old
When Xenia was destroyed. We went there and it was
Indeed horrific!
Never forget that. 😢😢
Ask a bible thumper why their "GOD" allows such devastation. I guarantee they will
have an answer that explains it, like the "mysterious ways" cop out, and then ask you for money to do "GOD's" work.
July 31, 1976, Big Thompson River flood in CO: 144 souls, $35 million.
Also the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927.

I love the History Guy.
