Tornado em Itália 🌪️

​

Este vídeo foi registado esta manhã na Sicília em Itália, na província de Trapani

Causou muitos danos, destruindo várias casas e carros, infelizmente

É incrível, e lembra um tornado registado nos EUA, no Oklahoma por exemplo, e, raramente na Europa... até agora...

Começam a ser possíveis, e gradualmente mais frequentes, e a razão é evidente: o Mar Mediterrâneo tem a mesma temperatura atualmente (aproximada) do Golfo do México... Toda essa zona está a ter um clima progressivamente mais instável, e, de certa forma, insustentável (Tempestades, calor extremo...)

Vai piorar nos próximos anos...

Allendale wedge tornado as seen by 3D radar

Strong wedge tornado which happened only hours ago near Allendale (South Carolina/US) as seen by 3D radar. This tornado - or to be precise multiple ones - formed the area on Okt. 10th 2026. Media quickly named it "Allendale wedge" as it was well documented there, however, it was stronger and more crisp before it reached the Allendale area.

I tried to show different parameters and views. The 3D mode uses an experimental tilt shift correction algorithm. This Reddit sub is specialized and above average knowledge can be expected, however, just to be clear: This 3D view and the tilt shift correction is a representation of reality. It is NOT 100% reality. It never is as long as radars use moving parts and rotate. To name the most important and impressive aspects of this tornado and what you can see in the video:

- overall impressive structure, close enough to radar to see a lot of details. Basically could be used to learn things about supercells and tornados as it presented textbook like features.
- Pronounced rotation signature (AzShear, dealiased)
- Pronounced CC drop (debris lifted up in the air)
- Cell interaction (with other storms close to this supercell) and a lot of activity in the region, the overall setup was very favourable and spawned a couple more tornadoes here and there, some undocumented

The most underrated Tornado of All Time: Niles-Wheatland F5

Most notable areas of damage:

The tornado touched down west of Newton Falls, Ohio at 6:30 PM, slowly strengthening as the updraft battled the extreme wind shear and nuclear energy of its own atmosphere.

At roughly 6:44 PM the tornado would track along Wood-Lenhart Road intensifying greatly. F4/F5 vegetation damage was noted in the survey, thankfully the tornado would miss larger population centers just before intensifying even further as the tornado strikes Palmyra Road in image 1. The core of the tornado misses every home although F4 and F5 damage still occurs along with sandpapered trees and extreme ground scouring of several inches of topsoil being removed here.

At 6:49 PM the tornado would strengthen again, striking the Ashland Oil and Propane Tank Park in western Niles. 3 propane storage tanks weighing 75,000 pounds were all crumbled and disfigured. One of the tanks would be yanked from its anchoring and lofted into the air landing across the road in image 2.

At 6:50 PM the tornado strikes Nancy Street and Susan Court, F5 damage occurs to several homes as extreme wind rowing is noted in image 3.

at 6:51 PM the tornado continues its extreme intensification as the Convenient Food Mart at the Corner of State Route 46 is mostly swept clean in image 4.

An entire neighborhood of Well Built homes are swept away and granulated in image 5 as well as pavement scouring occurring in western Niles and a woman is reportedly torn in half. Another victim would allegedly be found deceased in an open field, completely skinned.

The core mostly dodges neighborhoods until 6:55 PM, Shadow Ridge Drive is impacted at High End F5 intensity. Several well built homes are pulverized and extreme wind rowing occurs as the core of the tornado is basically a giant blender at this point in image 6.

6:56 PM, the tornado closes in on the Niles Park Plaza. Outrageous damage occurs as the entire plaza is mostly swept away with steel beams being twisted and mutilated at ground level. Cars are lofted extreme distances, parking stops pulverized and the entire plaza is effectively wiped off the earth. At 55 mph, at just roughly 300 yards wide, the tornado basically inflicts this damage instantly in images 7, 8 and 9.

6:57 PM, the tornado strikes Stillwagon Road. Several homes are swept away and even more intense granulation occurs along with trees being sandpapered and even stumped inside the core. Several slabs only remain of the homes inside the core in images 10, 11 and 12.

7:05 PM, homes along the intersection of Wick-Campbell Road and Chestnut Ridge Road are nearly atomized as the core of the tornado slices directly over a row of homes in image 13.

The tornado tracks through mostly rural areas, weakening slightly as it approaches the Pennsylvania state line.

7:11 PM, the tornado takes a deep breath of the nuclear environment of the atmosphere above and comes back to life. Peak intensity occurs as it narrowly misses the town of Masury. After crossing Fruit Avenue in Wheatland, PA, the tornado is seen in image 14, shortly before inflicting nearly unimaginable damage.

7:13 PM, a steel framed trucking plant in Wheatland is utterly pulverized, the large steel industrial building is twisted and mangled. Largely only a concrete slab remains, with pieces of shredded and disfigured steel only remaining along with it in images 15, 16 and 17. Concrete parking stops weighing between 200-300 pounds were never found, every single one of them were atomized along with most of the building and large chunks of asphalt would be scoured from the parking lot. With a forward speed of 50 mph and a core just barely larger than 100 yards, the damage done to this structure is nearly instantaneous. In this moment, I believe this damage rivals tornadoes like Bridge Creek, Jarrell, El Reno 2011 and even damage at Peabody from Tri-State. The damage done to the trucking plant and Niles Park Plaza is astounding. With asphalt and pavement scouring, along with 6-12 inches of topsoil being removed at the deepest points, this tornado may very well belong in the top 5 of all tornadoes.

More F4 and F5 damage occurs to homes and industrial buildings over the next 10 mins, additional areas of extreme ground scouring would occur before the tornado begins to finally weaken for good. At 7:30 PM, the legendary tornado lifts back into the sky.

Looking for a tornado chasing YouTube channel without constant screaming

Does anyone know a good YouTube channel where the creator chases/films tornadoes but doesn't scream “OH MY GOD, TORNADO ON THE GROUND!”?

I completely understand that these are intense situations and emotions can take over, so I'm not criticizing anyone for getting excited or scared. I’m just looking for someone who can stay relatively calm and collected while explaining what’s happening and documenting the tornado from a safe distance.

Thanks

Is there anything thing fun for a 9 year old that has to do with storms or tornado?

My 9 year old daughter has loved storms and tornados ever since she was 4. We’ve watched enough of the tv shows and movies. So I’m trying to find activities or anything that would be fun for a 9 year.
