Significant Tornado Events

I think the yt channel that uploaded the video probably belonged to Scott Newton, the same person who took those photos.

Most likely - and the fact the video has so few views is just another example of YouTube's algorithm being crappy. There are diamonds in the rough, though.
 
Some videos from the 1995 Pampa F4 I've never seen before; one is a compilation of footage & someone identifies the piece of equipment weighing 35,000 pounds that was moved. Looks like it was just slid a few feet as opposed to actually being picked up still impressive obviously:

In the second video at around 13:40 or so I think you can see the tornado's dissipation begin. It's interesting as it looks like the funnel becomes disconnected from the lower part of it; wonder if occlusion is simply just the funnel cloud being disconnected from ground winds.

At 9:36, you can see the soon-to-be Hoover F2 developing too

Lost Ringgold footage uncovered

That's it!! Katie Steinbacher's footage of the Ringgold tornado!

Reading the description of the upload, I'm extremely grateful that Katie was not only willing to dig up the footage but was also kind enough to send it to the uploader. Another video struck off the "lost media" list.
 
In the last year or so I've come across many new (or at least new to me) weather-related channels on YouTube. I presume other more popular social media has even more. Some of those folks claim to have meteorological degrees and some do not say one way or another. Some seem to know what they're talking about, but I think most of the newer channels are only seeking fame and income from viewer counts.

Be careful who you're getting your info from!

WTF???? THAT'S EVIL!!

Bro's gonna get sued!

Not just sued, impersonating a government worker is a federal crime.

Although whatever law that correlates to seems to be loosely enforced (at least in the weather field), as the NWS merely issued a warning basically telling people to stay away from his faux "forecasts".

So Kevin is a weather weenie on steroids :P

I just now found a RationalWiki article about him. It turns out he's not just "Weather Weenie on Steroids", but also a complete piece-of-crap narcissist!

I typically roll my eyes at most of the content on the so-called "Rational" Wiki... but for once, I have to say they did a good job with that article. I'd have some choice words to describe Kevin, but they'd probably get me banned :cool:

Hey, I have Asperger's as well, so does that mean I'm automatically an omnipotent supreme weather weenie too? :p

Lol. Not really, unfortunately, but continuing to study it with decades-long grit and passion would do! Even if you have a disability, even one that supposedly gives you a 150+ IQ rate, it doesn't mean that you already know high-level things like calculus out of the box, but it does help you study more easily.
