British Guy Reacting to The 10 Craziest Weather Events In US History!

In florida we have to watch out for falling iguanas when it goes below freezing

I grew up in Montana and the average winter would have days that were -15f to -40f, miserable man

This last winter it was -40 degrees Fahrenheit in Wisconsin

FYI to anyone wondering, this info is not 100% right. There has never been a 5 mile wide tornado on record. The largest one on record was the El Reno, OK tornado of 2013. It came in at 2.6mi (4.2km) wide. Also Kopperl, TX is not located in a desert…it's in central/east Texas, were they actually get quite a bit of rain. You have to head out to west Texas for the desert like climate. That's just the ones I know off the top of my head. I would take this video with a grain of salt. Yes these things happened, but they seem to be a little loose with the actual facts.

well as far as texas weather goes we are pretty used to 100 degree weather but the only reason we have so much trouble with the winter is because texas homes are not designed to handle large amounts of snow and ice. Also in the case of where I live the city officials that control power supplies live outside of out city so when we got hit by the last major cold front the emergency power was not distributed properly and electric companies were not given permission to give most neighborhoods power.

mt. washington, in new hampshire has the worst weather in the world

Lmao Texas went from 140 Fahrenheit to 20 degrees Fahrenheit

The Carr Fire was in Northern California. I lived in Redding at the time. I took almost a month for the skies to completely clear of smoke and I have pictures of my car covered in ash. One of the most intense things I've been through. I remember being scared to sleep because we were anxiously waiting to see if the fire would reach where we lived that eventually we grabbed our important things and moved to the other end of the town to stay about a week with a friend.

Should react and watch "ice storm in oklahoma " we have all the weather.

I live in KY where Mother Nature goes regularly off her meds. We have had years with 18°F below in winter with a summer of 98°F. Always fun, you never know how to dress or what the weather will be in a few hours. Good Times.

32° F = 0° C

Dating the recent past using Tree Rings, dendrochronology, is how they can date old fire scars.

Here's how it works: Trees growth slows in winter, so if you slice across a tree, each tree ring = 1 year of growth. Trees grow more or less depending on the rain/temperature/climate of each year, so a pattern of growth rings — thick, thin, thick, really thick, really thick — is like a barcode unique to a particular span of years. And these patterns repeat on EVERY TREE that lived through those years. Nowadays, using microscope's, they can get even more precise, since the tree growth ring shows different types of growth in the spring, summer, and fall, so whatever is just under the bark can tell you the time of year in which it died within 2-3 months.

Volcanic eruptions, exceptionally cold years, and other events can also leave very noticeable marks in tree rings, giving some firm dates other than just counting back from the year you cut down a big old tree (Some trees in the American southwest, the Bristlecone Pine, can live to be several thousand years old, making them very valuable for dendrochronology studies.)

By matching up tree ring cross sections across thousands of trees on every continent, dendrochronologists ("tree-time scientists") have created a continuous year by year calendar of tree growth ring dates going back many thousand years. That means that even if you find just a fragment of wood and don't have the whole tree, you can look up the section of tree rings on that piece of wood and hopefully find a match for the pattern of tree rings in the database. (Sometimes there will be more than one possible span of years it matches, if the fragment is short.)

Forest fires don't burn every single tree to ash; sometimes they fall down and are blackened but not destroyed, so if you can find a chunk of a tree that died in a forest fire that includes the outer most part of the tree right up to the bark, and examine the tree rings there, you can date when it died by consulting tree ring databases. That way you can date forest fires from hundreds of years ago, as long as there is still some wood preserved in good enough condition for you to see the tree rings.

2020 Iowa Derocho. Please watch.

If you want to see a crazy hail storm look up Colorado Springs softball sized hail. That was really bad.

I live in the states (Georgia) and our weather is CRAZY. We joke that you can experience all 4 seasons in the same week. Especially in spring, it’s not uncommon for weather to fall below 0°C at night and then be 30°C during the day!
…and yet our state’s biggest blizzard on record occurred in March. You literally never know. 😅

I feel bad for us in Texas as well

Absolutely correct about us being thankful for it not being so hot or cold. We call that a nice day

its so funny because hes so stupid, hes like the white version of the black basketball dude

you have to react to the Tri-State Tornado…the most deadly tornado ever

I like your channel…how ever sometimes you talk too much…

Imagine walking outside and a poisonous jellyfish falls on your head…

Power of Volcanoes: Part 1, Years Without Summer. Fascinating in itself, it also has a bit that explains how the date of a tree can be determined by the rings.
