9 Years Ago Today the widest Tornado ever recorded in the History of Mankind hit El Reno Oklahoma - 2 1/2 Miles Wide

In that video, the guys last words were “we’re going to die.”

“Yes, gentlemen, you’re definitely going to die.”

What a way to go.
 
I missed the May 20th, 2013 Moore, OK tornado by about 10 days. It was an EF5 with 24 dead.

I'd just finished installing some equipment at Will Rogers Airport, but an employee of mine stayed back to finish some data-run testing. He was staying at some rent by the week/month apartments off of I-35 in Moore.

The tornado missed him by two blocks but baseball size hail totaled my company pick-up.

 
Natural disasters caused a lot of death and property damage in 2013. Mother Nature wasn’t very nice to us at all that Summer.

There was a few years there that had some biggies.

2011 Tuscaloosa/Birmingham
2011 Joplin Missouri

It's been fairly quiet for a while now. knock on wood
 
This one definitely made an impact due to it's size as well as killing chasers. Wasn't TWC vehicle & crew thrown in this one as well but survived?
I don't know exactly; some storm chasers were killed, and the rules changed after that day.
