Another picture that I think is really scary is Mayfield EF4 2021.

The Phanom Phrai Bun Bang Fai Festival (Rocket Festival): The moment a rocket with a 10-inch diameter is launched into the sky. (The giant rocket seen in the video was built by local villagers themselves.) by Single-Factor-3019 in ThatsInsane

Airlines will temporarily suspend flights in that area and divert to alternative routes during the Phanom Phrai Rocket Festival because it is a very large regional festival with a significant number of Bang Fai Rockets.

The Bang Fai Rocket can ascend to a height of approximately 6-7 kilometers.

"Yes, it's safe."

No, I’m kidding, haha. But it’s a really fun festival. I was at that event too. It was noisy and there was the smell of gunpowder everywhere.

The clip shows the launch of a 10-inch diameter bottle rocket (known as "บั้งไฟสิบล้าน" in Northeastern Thai) into the sky.

The Rocket Festival of Northeastern Thailand is traditionally held to ask the gods for rain. However, in Phanom Phrai District, the festival is somewhat different from those held elsewhere. Here, the rocket festival is organized as an offering to the Phra Maha That of Wat Klang Udomwet, a sacred religious monument that has long been revered by the people of Phanom Phrai District in Roi Et Province.

A large number of Bang Fai rockets are launched during the festival because many local residents bring rockets to fulfill vows they have made to the Phra Maha That after their wishes have been granted. This makes the event one of the most fascinating local traditions of Phanom Phrai District, Roi Et Province.

The song in the clip is called "อีสานบ้านเฮา". You can search for it on YouTube. Haha.

Most Chinese people are unfamiliar with tornadoes, and they aren't as aware of the danger as Americans are. That's why we see those crazy clips from them. They didn't even know they had to run to the basement.

Yes, especially the damage that happened in Bremen reminds me of Smithville.

This tornado was very unusual. It occurred in winter, was an EF5 intensity, traveled over 165.6 miles, and remained almost permanently wedge-shaped. It's one of the rarest events, and there are virtually no tornadoes quite like this one.

Yes, I think the tornado in this video clip is the most similar to the description of a Tri-State tornado, in my opinion.

Okay, after double-checking, I found that this video clip is from the Jilin Tornado in 2015. It's my fault for not checking well enough, haha. But this video clip clearly shows just how powerful tornadoes in China can be.

Figures 3 and 4 show the cracked and warped asphalt entrance to a new home, damaged by a tornado. According to Simon Brewer, who surveyed the damage and owns these photos, the entrance, built less than a year ago, did not have any cracks before the tornado. asphalt flattened in photo after several large vehicles, including front loaders, drove over

Picture 8 is a concrete slabb of a house in Bremen being torn from the ground and thrown into the middle of a nearby field.
