June 15, 2023 3 dead, 75-100 injured after multiple tornadoes hit Perryton,Texas (Multiple Videos & 2 storm chaser videos)

Yes, it’s commonly known as “tornado alley”. However, given the global shift in climate, the alley is moving much more easterly and deadlier too (this is already referred as “Dixie alley”). This particular event is much more scary than most since it’s in the boonies of Texas where everything that’s constructed is out of date/spec for these scenarios (wind shear design, foundation, framing, mobile homes, etc.)

i’ve lived in tornado alley, smack in the middle, for 30 years and have never seen a tornado lmao

What is it?! And where is it?!

TORNADO IN PERRYTON GUYS DID YOU HEAR?

I’m from those parts too, closer to STL. My older sister and I were riding our bikes next to tilled up farm field about a block from home. I was seven. Like all tornadoes, this one dropped from the clouds and become visible as it picked up debris/dark soil. We just stood there dumbfounded watching this tendril inch its way out of the dark storm clouds until it reached the soil. We could hear my mom screaming for us, so I got on my bike and rode the block home. My sister was so freaked out that instead of riding the bike, she pushed it home. As we gazed up, the tornado funnel had started to widen and was getting louder.

While we were outside playing, we kept our dog on a rope tied around a tree. As he became more scared, he panicked by running around the tree until he ran out of rope My mom was freaking out trying to get him inside. It was really loud now. But instead of just unclipping his collar off the rope, my mom grabbed his collar and tried to force him to go back around the tree. My sister and I had to take control of that situation. We were lucky and had no home damage.

It was a strange twister, it moved into some people’s yard, did some damage, went back out, then moved onto the next yard and street.
