Editorial Reviews

Most tornadoes are short-lived, but May 3, 1999, brought a rare and deadly exception. One of the most destructive tornadoes in U.S. history swept through Oklahoma City, in an area of Southwest Oklahoma known as "Tornado Alley." By the time the terrifying mass of wind, rain, hail and debris—swirling at speeds of over 300 miles an hour—had subsided 90 minutes later, 38 people were dead and 8,000 buildings destroyed. This killer tornado was eventually classified as an F5, the most powerful class of tornadoes on Earth. Follow the monster ravaging the landscape. Race with forecasters rushing to predict its course. Scramble with researchers as they probe its power. And see the eyewitness account of a survivor who was buried under 150 pounds of debris in his truck.

I'm upsessed with tornadoes and would like to see one. I know you guys are saying "I'm crazy!" but oh well! I'm going to be a chaser when I grow up too! I want to learn more about them. Even though I know a lot. Now I know about the May 3, 1999 twister of Oklahoma City. It was an F5! If you like to hear about tonado disasters, this is the video for you. I just saw this video yesterday. It was very interesting. So see it today!
