Tuscaloosa EF-4 Tornado Documentary

Tuscaloosa EF-4 Tornado Documentary During the late afternoon and early evening of April 27th 2011, Tuscaloosa, Alabama would become the focal point for one of the deadliest tornadoes to have ever hit the United States. A high end EF4 multiple vortex tornado would spin it's way through Tuscaloosa and Birmingham causing untold amounts of damage. This tornado would be just one of 360 tornadoes that were part of the 2011 super outbreak. 2 days before the tornado would hit, the storm prediction center would issue a moderate risk of severe weather encompassing portions of central and eastern Kentucky, middle and eastern Tennessee, northeast Mississippi, central and northern Alabama, and northwest Georgia. Meteorologists would note that the combination of rich low-level moisture, strong wind shear, and focused large-scale ascent was highly conducive to producing large tornadoes. As the sun would rise on April the 27th, the storm prediction center's worst fears were realized. Conditions were prime for very strong long track tornadoes, with damaging winds, and a great risk of lives being lost. At 11:57am the Storm Prediction Center would issue a warning with a high probability of tornadoes occurring within a 25 mile radius. This area included Tuscaloosa and the prediction of a tornado was at 45%, a number substantially higher than seen even in high risk predictions. As the afternoon hours would pass, the weather conditions became much worse, and the possibility of a tornado was almost certain. The air mass across western and northern portions of Alabama began to quickly destabilize, with a mixed layer of CAPE otherwise known as convective available potential energy estimated in the 2500 to 4000 Joule Per Kilogram range. Wind shear would also become substantially more favorable to tornado producing conditions. At 1:45pm a PDS known as a Particularly Dangerous Situation warning was issued for much of Alabama, northwest Georgia, southeast Mississippi, and southern middle Tennessee, with upwards of a 95% probability of at least two tornadoes and one or more strong tornadoes, a number very rarely seen in predictions. At 3:09pm the National Weather Service would issue the first tornado warning on the supercell that would eventually produce the Tuscaloosa–Birmingham tornado. #TornadoCompilation #TornadoFootage #TornadoUSA #DeadlyTornado #Disasters #Storm 🎼🎵 Music: ♩♫ Epic and Dramatic Music ♪♬ - Flight Hymn Instagram:   / rossbugden   For commissions/scores: [email protected] @RossBugden Tuscaloosa EF-4 Tornado Documentary This channel will show natural disasters and weather in the world every day with the latest footage.
