The 2013 El Reno tornado stands out as one of the most remarkable and devastating tornadoes in history. It occurred on May 31, 2013, near El Reno, Oklahoma, in the United States. This tornado holds the distinction of being the widest tornado ever recorded, with a maximum width of approximately 2.6 miles (4.2 kilometers). With winds reaching estimated speeds of over 296 miles per hour (476 kilometers per hour), it also earned the designation of the strongest tornado ever measured. Tragically, the tornado claimed the lives of several storm chasers, including renowned researcher Tim Samaras, his son Paul Samaras, and colleague Carl Young. This event highlighted the inherent risks associated with storm chasing and underscored the importance of safety precautions. The El Reno tornado significantly contributed to advancing our understanding of tornadoes and their behavior, leading to enhanced warning systems and improved preparedness measures to protect communities in the face of these formidable natural phenomena.

REMEMBERING MOORE
This is a rare-look at the live voice that came over the NOAA weather radios indicating the tornado emergency.

MOORE - 10 YEAR REMEMBRANCE
Right now, 26 people would be asleep for the final time, including 7 young children, about to wake up in a few hours for one of the final days of school. 2 of these victims were babies still.

What these 26 people did not know, is that an EF5 tornado, the last one in the United States, would enter the city they once loved.

Most of these people survived May 3rd, 1999 - and some were never even born then.

The majority of those who hear the word "Moore" or "May 3rd" would look at you completely blind, acting like you were clueless. Chasers and those who live there, know what each of these means, and that meaning will make those who have the hair on the back of their neck stand straight up.

This was 39 minutes of literal hell that the residents of Moore went through. An EF5 tornado, reaching speeds of 210 MPH, would form rapidly without warning just west of Moore, similar to the 1999 Bridge Creek tornado. As this 1-mile-plus wedge tornado traveled over 17 miles.

We will never forget Moore.

TODAY IN WEATHER HISTORY

On May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens, located in Washington state, experienced one of the most catastrophic volcanic eruptions in the history of the United States. The eruption of Mount St. Helens was triggered by a massive earthquake that caused the north face of the mountain to collapse, unleashing a powerful lateral blast and a vertical eruption column. The eruption released a tremendous amount of energy, equivalent to 24 megatons of TNT, and resulted in the destruction of the surrounding landscape. The lateral blast, accompanied by a pyroclastic flow, devastated an area of about 230 square miles, leveling forests, melting snow and ice, and triggering massive mudslides. The eruption column rose to a height of 15 miles and deposited ash across several states, affecting air traffic and causing complete darkness in some areas. The eruption claimed the lives of 57 people, including geologists and loggers, and caused extensive damage to infrastructure, buildings, and the environment. Mount St. Helens' eruption serves as a poignant reminder of the immense power and destructive force that lies within our planet.
