The terror of the images of the Little Blue Shed in Rockport, TX in August of 2017 will never leave my consciousness.

Can't find it now, but it was footage of a guy in the US filming a tornado coming his way from the second floor window of his home. It reached the house and the camera cut out as it was being ripped apart. Pretty sure him.and his family died.

Tornadoes scare me more than any others. Unpredictable and a lot of time show up with little or no warning

The next day me, my dad, my uncle and grandfather took a ride out to my grandfather's lot on the river in Ohatchee/Southside, AL. Apparently, they had some disputes between neighbors and then some shite heads that came through the neighborhood overnight and early that morning looking to take advantage of the chaos and steal shite. Basically looting. So the law enforcement officers in the area were on high alert. It was a nicer neighborhood for that area and LE was posted up at the entrance and patrolling on foot throughout with AR-15s like we were in Baghdad. So we went in not knowing what to expect.
Anyways, we get down to my grandfather's place and start checking for any damage to the property. I went around back of the house and walked down to the dock. He lived in a slough and I was looking across at the damage the houses across the slough. 2 of the 3 were taken out to the slab. Never seen anything like it in my life.
I was talking to the neighbor on his dock when a couple of boats with blue lights pulled into the slough. They started asking if we had seen anyone in the water. The neighbor and I both said no. About that time we started hearing some hollering from across the slough at the destroyed houses. Fire and Rescue had found the person they were looking for. I watched as they fished an elderly woman out of the brush on the bank about 50 yards away.
I later read about that lady in the paper. I've never felt so bad about the death of a stranger as I did that lady. Just all the destruction that was around that neighborhood. Houses just completely gone and the foundation and exterior brick stairs left. Big arse trees broken and tossed like toothpicks. Dead horses scattered around a barn and adjacent to pasture. Then you had the juxtaposition of places like my grandfather's. He had a tree take out the service line to his house and a 2" long by 1/4 wide hole in part of his vinyl siding. We never did find what it was that caused the hol, but didn't really care and thanked the Lord for sparing his place.
The images I saw around that place will be forever burned into my mind. I can't even imagine what something on the scale of Katrina was like for some of yall.

The 2011 Joplin tornado, for sure. An absolutely sickening hour long cataclysm of death, mayhem and complete destruction of everything in the path of an EF5 monster. 45 miles of misery.
The worst I ever got a first hand look at was the aftermath of Katrina's destruction of New Orleans in June, 2006-- fully 10 months after the record-setting killer! Miles upon miles of residential neighborhoods still in ruins at that time. Truly an unprecedented catastrophe

Probably the Indian Ocean tsunami hitting Indonesia and other countries back in 2004.
People getting separated and running out of places to go, and some of the places people were in didn’t seem like they were going to last much longer.

Agree that’s eerie, but that was man made at some point before that.

Yikes. That must have been what happened way back in 79, when the entire city of Pompeii, about 20,000 people, was literally mummified within minutes of the cataclysmic eruption of Vesuvius. When Pompeii was unearthed during the early part of the last century, it was surreal how whole families were discovered literally frozen in place in their homes, including the dogs

Kinda different but same really. Sat on the back patio of my house for 8 hours while hurricane Ida hit from the north. We were on the west eye wall and had no eye pass over or break for 8 hours. Watched the neighborhood blown up with parts of houses flying by, including mine. A commercial vessel on the Intracoastal 1/2 mile.south of my house clocked sustained winds at 165 with gust of 180. But we were told it was a Cat 4. Thought the house was gonna disappear for a while. Eventful ride.

Two of the scariest audios from a tornado came from the Tuscaloosa tornado and the Joplin tornado respectively.
The audio from the video of the group of people who hunkered down in the storage area of a convenience store that got hit by the edge of the Joplin tornado is hard to listen to. Everyone survived but the sounds of the roar and day turning into night outside was intense.
The other was a group of UA students who peaked outside their apartment in Tuscaloosa seeing the E4 heading directly at them and they're all huddled together and again...the roar of the tornado and the shouts. They ended up safely buried up under a stairwell that held up a flipped over SUV and most of the apartmrnt building they were in from collapsing down on them and crushing them.

No doubt. They are incredible and chilling. Unstoppable. Inescapable.

Definitely the tsunami in Japan. I was in the ER with a kidney stone (first, only and hopefully last) so I could literally feel their pain.

I can’t imagine what it would feel like having this coming at you and there’s no where to hide.

He got lucky because he had some nice big rocks to lay down behind. To his credit other than the standard "Holy shite/ Dear God" he held that camera steady the whole time.
