Red is listed as "devastating", typically requiring everything to be swept away. Green is total/ destroyed. Yellow is moderate. IIRC there were about 15 listed deaths but lemme go over it again.
Does it also show people that might had been fatally injured, but due to poor recording at the time we don’t know such as Christina Fellows?

And I think I have an idea of how you can send the information to me without writing a single thing. First you use self recording on your phone and computer, and then you hit every single dot 1 county at a time in Missouri then once you done just upload the video to Talkweather, and since you hit and read the dots while on self recording you won’t have to write down a single thing.

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!

Here it is: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin

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
